Exploring the relationship between paraphilic interests, sex, and sexual and life satisfaction in non-clinical samples
Authors: Mundy Crystal L. , Cioe Jan D.
Published: May 2019

Limited research has indicated that paraphilic interests and behaviours do not necessarily decrease sexual and life satisfaction; some research suggests such interests may actually enhance satisfaction. The present study assessed how paraphilic-associated interests and behaviours were related to sexual and life satisfaction in a sample of 173 men and 356 women. Paraphilic interest rates were similar to existing population-based studies. Men reported significantly higher levels of most paraphilic interests than women, apart from masochism. Those with paraphilic interests rarely felt negatively affected. However, those interested in criminal paraphilic interests or both criminal and legally feasible paraphilic interests had lower levels of sexual satisfaction when they did not engage in paraphilia-associated sexual behaviour. The sexual satisfaction of those interested only in legally feasible paraphilic interests was not impacted whether or not they engaged in paraphilia-associated sexual behaviour. Further analyses indicated that those without a paraphilic interest and those who have a paraphilic interest and have disclosed to their partner have higher levels of sexual satisfaction than those who have not disclosed to their partner or who do not have a stable partner. Additionally, among those who had disclosed to a partner, sexual satisfaction was not affected whether the individual engaged in the paraphilic interest with or without their partner. These results suggest a multifaceted relationship that warrants further consideration and examination.
Budget Impact Analysis of Inclusion in the Expensive Drugs List of Canakinumab for Treatment of Systemic Onset Juvenile Arthritis
Authors: Derkach Elena
Published: May 2019

Introduction. In 2018 the Federal Order of 03.08.2018 No. 299-FO was adopted, whereby the provision of drugs for the treatment of systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (sJA) was delegated to the federal level.

Aim. In accordance with the requirements for the development of formularies of medicines, approved by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 871, the budget impact analysis of inclusion in the expensive drugs list of canakinumab for the treatment of sJA was conducted.

Material and methods. The drug costs were calculated based on the manufacture`s maximum selling price inclusive of all taxes and additional charges according to the legislation of the Russian Federation. Characteristics and the size of the target population of patients diagnosed with sJA were determined based on the data from different sources – clinical trials, registries, standards, of medical care, experts` judgment. The time horizon of the analysis is 1 year and 3 years. The sensitivity analysis was performed to test how results affected by changes in key assumptions such as drug price and size of the target population.

Results. The budget impact analysis revealed that provision for the target population of canakinumab for the treatment of sJA does not require a significant increase in the programme budgeting of costly diseases. The insignificant increase is required for the programme budgeting equal to the amount of 1,588 billion per year, which is 4% less than the 2018 budget.

Conclusions. Assurance of centralized purchasing of canakinumab from federal budget resources is in harmony with the financing capacity of costly diseases programme, extended from 2019, to cover canakinumab reimbursement for patients with sJA.
Cost-Effectiveness Analysis of Treatment for Severe Eosinophilic Asthma in Adults: Mepolizumab and Omalizumab
Authors: Tolkushin Alexander , Pogudina Nalalya , Ivanov Dmitry , Demko Irina
Published: May 2019

Objective: Based on the cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA) to determine economic and clinical consequences of using mepolizumab instead of omalizumab in adults with severe eosinophilic asthma, when omalizumab is administered once every 2 weeks or mepolizumab is administered once every 4 weeks.

Methods: Effectiveness and safety analysis was conducted based on the published network meta-analysis, because head-to-head clinical trials of omalizumab versus mepolizumab were not identified during targeted scientific literature search. Direct medical costs were calculated using information from the register of manufacturers` maximum selling prices for vital and essential drugs (VED), instructions for medical use, the unit cost of healthcare services.

Results: Effectiveness and safety of the compared drugs were determined based on the results of the network meta-analysis. Frequency of clinically significant asthma exacerbations (risk ratio = 0,19; 95% CI: 0,02–2,32) and withdrawals due to adverse events (risk ratio = 0,05; 95% CI: 0,002–0,95). Therefore, despite the tendency to mepolisumab benefits, it was concluded that there are no statistically significant differences in the effectiveness and safety of the compared drugs due to the insufficient statistical power of the result. Direct medical costs were 870130 rubles and 1852063 rubles for mepolizumab and omalizumab respectively. Saving of direct medical costs for mepolizumab treatment was 959170 rubles per patient per year or 52%.

Conclusion: treatment with mepolizumab versus omalizumab in patients with severe eosinophilic asthma, when omalizumab is administered once every 2 weeks or mepolizumab is administered once every 4 weeks, leads to saving of direct medical costs for drug treatment.
Utjecaj hlađenja i zamrzavanja na kakvoću i mikrofloru mesa
Authors: Cvrtila Željka , Dobranić Vesna
Published: May 2019

Hlađenje i zamrzavanje mesa kao metode konzerviranja imaju brojne prednosti u očuvanju svojstava mesa čiji kemijski sastav karakteriziraju visokovrijedne bjelančevine, minerali i vitamini B kompleksa. U usporedbi s ostalim postupcima konzerviranja, hlađenjem i zamrzavanjem se najbolje očuvaju nutritivno vrijedni sastojci mesa. Kakvoća tako konzerviranog mesa prvenstveno ovisi o brzini i temperaturi postupka hlađenja i zamrzavanja, te o kristalima leda koji nastaju tijekom zamrzavanja, njihovom položaju i veličini. Higijenska kakvoća ohlađenog i zamrznutog mesa ovisi prije svega o mikroflori sirovine, ali i o načinu i vremenu pohrane, načinu prijevoza i pravilnom čuvanju mesa u velikoprodajnim i maloprodajnim centrima. U radu se raspravlja o učincima hlađenja i zamrzavanja na kakvoću i mikrofloru mesa.
Heuristic Cues for Meta-Reasoning Judgments
Authors: Ackerman Rakefet
Published: May 2019

Metacognitive research aims to explain how people regulate their effort when performing cognitive tasks, to expose conditions that support reliable monitoring of chance for success, and to provide a basis for developing improvement guidelines. The essence of the domain is that monitoring drives control: people continually self-assess their chance for success before, during, and after performing a cognitive task, and use these judgments to guide their effort-allocation decisions (e.g., whether to reconsider an answer option, change strategy, seek help, or give up). Thus, factors that underlie metacognitive judgments affect the efficiency with which people perform cognitive tasks. This paper focuses on meta-reasoning – the monitoring and control processes that apply to reasoning, problem-solving, and decision-making tasks. So far, relatively little is known about heuristic cues used for inferring meta-reasoning judgments. This paper reviews the known heuristic cues and offers methodological guidelines for a critical reading of existing research and for designing high-quality studies that will advance this important domain.

Fluctuation-Induced Excess Conductivity and Infrared Spectra in Y Doped BSCCO Superconductors
Authors: Sedky A. , AlMotasem A. T.
Published: May 2019

We report here the fluctuation induced excess conductivity and IR spectra in Bi2Sr2Ca1-xYxCu2Oy (0.00 < x < 0.50) superconductors. This work is done by using the reported data of Sedky, Physica B 410, 227 (2013), and with the help of Anderson and Zou relation. The logarithmic plots of excess conductivity ∆σ and reduced temperature Є reveal two different exponents corresponding to unique crossover temperature in the slope of each plot. The first exponent is obtained in the normal field region at a temperature of ( << T < 2 ), while the second exponent is obtained in the mean field region at a temperature of (T ~ ). The dimensional exponents are shifted from three dimensional (3D) to two dimensional (2D) for x < 0.30, but it is shifted from 2D to 3D for x = 0.50. Both zero kelvin critical magnetic fields and current density are considerably enhanced by increasing x up to 0.30 followed by a decrease with further increase of x up to 0.50. The vice is versa for the behavior of interlayer coupling, coherence lengths and anisotropy against x. On the other hand, IR spectra show absorption modes in the wave number range of 716-726 cm-1 according to the value of x. These results are discussed in terms of the correlation between carrier concentration, oxygen deficient and effective Cu valance which are induced by Y through CuO2 planes of BSCCO superconductors.

La mayor parte de las Cooperativas de transporte público terrestre Inter cantonal e interprovincial, deben pasar por la ciudad de Riobamba para llegar a las diferentes ciudades de las regiones de la costa, sierra y oriente, debido a su ubicación geográfica.

Este tipo de transporte moviliza a un gran número de personas y traslada una buena parte de las mercaderías que serán utilizadas para la producción y comercialización de bienes a nivel nacional.

Una ciudad histórica y emblemática a para el país, no debería tener problemas en el tema del transporte terrestre urbano a nivel interno y en las vías que comunican con las ciudades aledañas, la calidad de servicio que brinden los involucrados en el sector transporte, no solamente que permiten mejorar los ingresos de los prestadores de servició, permiten también mejorar los ingresos de otros sectores que tienen relación con el transporte.

La ciudad de Riobamba en los últimos años ha crecido considerablemente tanto vertical y horizontal, las líneas de transporte público no tienen una planificación moderna en cuanto a este problema de crecimiento causando problemas para la ciudadanía, a esto sumamos también la falta reordenamiento territorial.
LIMITED ENGLISH-PROFICIENT STUDENTS: ANALYSIS OF SUBJECTIVE EXPERIENCES
Authors: Karanauskienė Diana , Lileikienė Asta , Danilevičienė Lina
Published: May 2019

Background. Many long-term adolescent and adult learners experience persistent academic underachievement
in English in spite of many years of schooling. Students pertaining A2 level can be classified as Limited English-
Proficient Learners who have not acquired English proficiency as required by the university, state and European
guidelines. Research aim was to analyse the perceptions of underachieving students of reasons of their failure to gain
English language proficiency of the required level aiming at increasing the knowledge on the problem and providing
possible solutions for improvement.
Methods. Participants’ perceptions of their underachievement reasons were elicited through individual
unstructured in-depth interviews. Data analysis occurred concurrently with data collection using grounded theory
as a method for analysing the data. Member checks with several research participants, reflexive journaling and peer
debriefing were also utilized to ensure trustworthiness of the study .
Results. The examination of interview transcripts revealed two big themes concerning the students’
underachievement in the English language: internal and external causes for being limited English-proficient learner.
External causes were conditions for learning English at school and at the university: poor learning in primary grades,
underestimated value of knowing and learning English at school, inadequate conditions for informal learning, and
poor organization of English lessons. University factors mentioned were too few contact hours for English classes,
inconvenient time-table, and lack of time due to other activities. Internal factors were fear to look unacceptable
(resulting in the inactivity in the classes), lack of self-confidence, too much self-criticism, laziness, procrastination,
finding faults with others, inadequate perception of the course, poor attitudes towards the course, lack of internal
motivation, rating the module of English as a second-rate course, not knowing how to learn the language, and, what
is most important, absence of self-study skills.
Conclusions. Internal factors conditioning underachievement in the English language proved to be much more
important than the external ones. Poor self-esteem, lack of motivation and poor attitudes towards the course suggest
the need of the individualization of teaching/learning and psychological counselling. Lack of self-study skills can
predict poor academic achievements in other university courses, which could result in drop-outs. This suggests the
need of coaching students in learning skills. The collected data show that the teacher also plays a crucial role in
language learning, however, the wider societal, cultural and psychological context should be articulated in further
possible research as well. Study programmes at tertiary level should be designed to encourage both internal and
external motivation of students to study foreign languages as an indispensable factor for developing a full-rate
personality.
CORRELATION BETWEEN EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE OF YOUNG PEOPLE AND THEIR ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT: EMPIRICAL PROOF
Authors: Lekavičienė Rosita , Antinienė Dalia
Published: May 2019

Background. A scientific problem concerning factors which are important for academic achievement of students
is analysed in the paper. Questions whether emotional intelligence level is related to academic achievement and
whether correlation between academic achievement in a specific area (science, languages) and EI expression exists,
whether emotional intelligence of young people with low education differs from that of young people with higher
education, etc. are raised.
Methods. Research participants were 1430 students aged between 17 and 27 years. The survey was performed
using EI-DARL V2 test. The following factors were assessed: “Perception of one’s own emotions”; “Control
of one’s own emotions”; “Perception of emotions of other people”; “Control of emotions of other people”, and
“Manipulations”. Also, such aspects as ability of recognizing emotions in facial pictures and ability of emotional
situation solving were assessed.
Results. The combined EI scale scores in all factors were the highest of those subjects who are or were excellent
students, the lowest – of those who were poor students. Those subjects who were equally poor both at languages
and sciences were the least capable of perception of their own emotions and those of others people, they also
were the least capable of controlling their own emotions. Highly educated young people were of higher emotional
intelligence. Furthermore, emotional situation solving and emotion recognition in pictures was better in the group of
highly educated students.
Conclusion. Positive correlation between academic achievement and emotional intelligence was established.
Mathematics and language skills proved to be significant indexes of emotional intelligence: it was established that
those subjects who were more successful in sciences were the best at understanding and controlling their own
emotions, while individuals who were better in languages were more efficient in understanding and controlling
emotions of other people.

Authors: Antinienė Dalia , Lekavičienė Rosita
Published: May 2019

Background. The level of personality’s empathy largely determines altruistic behaviour and the quality of
interpersonal relationships rendering the relevance of research indubitable. In psychology, empathy is classified
into emotional/affective, cognitive and predictive. This study analyses affective empathy and aims to find out which
personality traits related to self-perception, effectiveness in interpersonal relationships and sociodemographics are
linked to empathy.
Methods. Research participants were schoolchildren, students, unemployed and employed individuals, inmates
of imprisonment institutions and other young people. The target group was youth from 17 to 27 years of age,
M =19.7, N =1400. An original measurement technique the psychometric quality indicators of which were sufficient
(Cronbach’s alpha reached .81) was used to research empathy.
Results. The means of Spearman’s correlation coefficients revealed that empathy was related to self-irony
(r = .19, p ≤ .001), externality (r = .14; p ≤ .05), positive self-evaluation (r = .47; p ≤ .001), leadership disposition
(r = .17; p ≤ .05), etc. Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis tests revealed that women (Mean Rank = 274.88) were
more empathic than men (Mean rank = 139.78; p ≤ .001), young people with higher education (Mean Rank = 234.62)
were more empathic than those with no or some education (Mean Rank = 161.06; p ≤ .001), etc.
Conclusion. Research revealed that empathy was related to personal-psychological traits: self-irony, externality,
positive self-evaluation, leadership disposition, general state of health, etc. The research highlighted the differences
of empathy in different genders and revealed that women were more empathic than men. The research participants
with high educational achievements exhibited the highest level of empathy.
PARENTS’ PERCEPTIONS OF THE IMPORTANCE OF PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AND THEIR CHILDREN´S ABILITY
Authors: Hein Vello
Published: May 2019

Background. It is well known that parents influence physical activity of their children. Determining the factors
related to parents’ perception of the importance of physical activity and physical fitness enables enhancing the
promotion of physical activity among children in the future.
Methods. A total of 237 parents of children aged between 5 and 10 years participated in the study. Confirmatory
factor analysis was used to estimate factor structure of the questionnaire “Parents Perceptions of the Importance
of Physical Activity and Their Children´s Ability Questionnaire”. To investigate the differences between groups
Independent-sample t-test was used. Cohen’s d was used to estimate effect size.
Results. Confirmatory factor analyses showed that the eight-issue two-factorial model psychometric parameters
were acceptable in order to assess parents’ perception of the importance of physical activity and ability (RMSEA =
.072; NFI = .97; CFI = .98; NNFI = .98). Parents who were physically active in the past and were active in the present
evaluated the importance of physical activity more than inactive parents. Parents’ assessments of the importance of
physical activity and ability were not significantly different depending on parents’ education, university or secondary/
high education.
Conclusion. The questionnaire used is a valid measure of parents´ assessments of the importance of physical
activity and physical ability of the Estonian school students. The questionnaire enables us to identify parents’
assessments of the importance of physical activity and physical ability, which may be considered as one of the factors
related to children’s physical activity.

ÖzYaşın ilerlemesi ile birlikte artan kronik hastalıkların görülme sıklığı, sıklıkla çoklu ilaç kullanımına neden olmaktadır. Ayrıca ileri yaş döneminde kalp, renal, karaciğer gibi yaşamsal organ ve sistemlerin fonksiyonlarında azalma durumu, ilaçların farmakokinetik ve farmakodinamik süreçlerini de etkileyerek, verilen yanıtları da etkiler. Yaşla birlikte değişen metabolik süreçler, istenmeyen ilaç etkilerinin ve ilaç-ilaç, ilaç-besin etkileşimlerinin kolaylıkla ortaya çıkmasına neden olmaktadır. Yaşlılarda sıklıkla görülen kronik hastalıklara bağlı olarak, sıklıkla kardiovasküler, anti-inflamatuar ve diüretik ilaçların bir arada kullanımı planlanmaktadır. İlaçların güvenli bir şekilde vücuttan atılımı ve istenmeyen etkilerinin kontrol altına alınması yaşamsal öneme sahiptir. Bu nedenle hemşireler, özellikle yaşlı bireyin sağlık öyküsü ve kullandığı tüm ilaçları ayrıntılı olarak tanılamalı, ilaçların uygulanmasını ilaç-ilaç, ilaç-besin etkileşimlerine neden olmayacak ve hastanın kullandığı ilaçların atılımında önemli bir sistem olan üriner sisteme zararı minimuma indirecek şekilde planlamalıdır. Özellikle üriner sistem bozukluğu olan yaşlı bireylerde, nefrotoksik etkisi olan ilaçların kullanımından mümkün olduğunca kaçınılmalı ve daha güvenli ilaç seçimi durumunu hekimle paylaşılması önerilmektedir.Anahtar Kelimeler: Yaşlılık, Polifarmasi, İlaç Kullanımı, Yan Etki, Hemşirelik

Kur’an-ı Kerim Işığında Kadının Yaratılışı ve İtibarsızlaştırılmasına Neden Olan Konuların Değerlendirilmesi
Authors: Tunçer Mustafa
Published: May 2019

Yüce
Allah ilk insan/Âdem ile eşi/Havva’yı cinsiyet bakımından birini diğerinden
üstün kılmadan eşit bir şekilde yaratmış ve her iki cinsin yaratılışının nefs-i
vâhide denen aynı öz/cevherden olduğunu bildirmiştir. Buna rağmen müfessirlerin
pek çoğu İsrailiyat kaynaklı bazı rivayetleri kullanmak suretiyle ilk insanın
eşi/Havva’nın bizzat Âdem’in eğri kaburga kemiğinden yaratıldığını iddia
etmişlerdir. Bu inanç İslami gelenekte zamanla oldukça kabul görmüştür. Başta
bu rivayetlerde dile getirilen eğrilik olmak üzere erkeklerin fiziki güç gibi
bazı farklı yönlerinin üstünlük kriteri sayılması neticesinde kadınlar ikinci
sınıf varlıklar olarak algılanmıştır. Bu anlayış zamanla kadınların
itibarsızlaştırılmasına ve değer kaybına yol açmıştır. Oysa Yüce Allah
sınırlarını kendisinin belirlediği şu kâinat planında erkekler gibi kadınlara
da yaratılış özelliklerine göre üstlenmeleri gereken görev ve sorumlulukları
yüklemiştir. Bu bağlamda Kur’an-ı Kerim ve sahih sünnette kadınlara en az
erkekler kadar değer verildiğini, bir haksızlığa gidilmediğini açıkça
görmekteyiz. Bu çalışmada kadına karşı sergilenen ayrımcılığın gerekçeleri
üzerinde durularak, Kur’ân’ın ilgili mesajlarının doğru anlaşılmasına katkı
sağlamakta ve kadına yönelik itibarsızlaştırma çabalarının ardında dinin değil
kültürel birikimin etkili olduğunu ortaya koymak amaçlanmaktadır.

Objective: DNA damage that can be caused by workplace exposure to antineoplastic drugs in health workers has been shown in many scientific studies. It is aimed to evaluate whether the risk of genotoxicity in health workers decreases after the regulations and measures taken by national and international health authorities in our work.Methods: For this purpose, DNA damage was assessed by using alkaline comet technique in lymphocytes isolated from blood samples of health workers (n=29) who were involved in preparing and / or administering antineoplastic agent at Trakya University Health Research and Application Center and compared with the control group (n=30). Also, those who prepare and/or administer antineoplastic agents; (n=16) and manual (n=13) preparations.Results: As a result of the evaluation, there was no statistically significant difference between health personnel and control group in preparing and / or administering antineoplastic agent (p>0,05, Mann-Whitney U) and there was no difference in the genotoxic risk between preparation forms. Furthermore, when the exposed control group was assessed for DNA damage as smokers and nonsmokers, there was no statistically significant difference in terms of DNA damage (p>0.05).Conclusion: At the center where our samples were taken, the resulting measures resulted in the control of the risk of genotoxicity due to occupational exposure to antineoplastic agents.

Objective: Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is a material that is most commonly used for production of clear plastic bottles. Adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) and β-catenin have been related with cancer. Aim was to investigate the effects of PET bottled water samples that were exposed to sunlight and hot water on zebrafish embryos. Moreover the effects of these water samples on APC knockdown zebrafish embryos were also evaluated.Methods: Phthalate concentrations in water samples were determined using ELISA. Immunohistochemical method and RT-PCR were used to analyse the expressions of proliferative cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), β catenin, Wnt 3a and Gsk3β. Biochemical parameters were measured using spectrophotometric methods. Vitellogenin concentrations were measured using ELISA and apoptotic cells were evaluated by Acridine Orange staining.Results: Increased PCNA, β-catenin, Wnt 3a, Gsk3β expressions, vitellogenin, nitric oxide, apoptosis and impaired oxidant-antioxidant balance were observed in the exposure groups with these increases being more profound in APC knockdown groups.Conclusion: APC knockdown embryos were more prone to the deleterious effects of water samples used in this study.

Objective: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is associated with many serious health complications such as diabetic foot ulcer (DFU). Onychomycosis increases the risk for foot disorders and limb amputation in DM patients, and if untreated, can result in tissue degradation and DFU. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the association between the incidences of onychomycosis and DFU.Methods: This study included 40 DM patients with DFU (study group) and 40 DM patients without FU (control group). Samples were obtained from the most affected part of the nail. The deep-nail plaque of the right toe was preferred in patients with normal toenail appearance. In addition, mycological examinations were conducted. Values of p<0.01 were considered as significant.Results: No significant difference was observed between the two groups with respect to age, sex, and hemoglobin A1c levels (p<0.01). However, the incidence of onychomycosis and use of insulin were significantly higher in the study group than in the control group (p<0.01 and p<0.001, respectively).Conclusion: Onychomycosis might be associated with development of FU in patients with DM. By treating onychomycosis early, foot amputation can be prevented

Objective: This study aimed to
determine the effectiveness of virtual rehabilitation on balance and
functionality in patients with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction.

Methods: A total of 22 males who had
undergone ACL reconstruction were divided into Nintendo and control groups.
Both of the groups received six week accelerated rehabilitation in our
department, and the Nintendo Wii© (Nintendo, Washington, USA)
balance games were added to Nintendo group after three weeks for forty minutes
a day, three times a week. Patients were evaluated for pain (visual analog
scale), functionality (Lower Extremity Functional Scale), center of gravity
(COG) and balance (Nintendo Wii©) at the baseline and end of the 3th
and 6th week of rehabilitation program.

Results: Similar improvements were
determined in the pain, functionality, COG and balance scores of the two groups
at the end of the treatment program and there were no significant differences
between the groups in the amount of change in all parameters (p= 0.256, 0.393,
0.707, 1.000).Conclusion: According to the results of
this study the Nintendo Wii© balance games applied in the clinic
under physiotherapist supervision did not change the outcome of the
rehabilitation in early period after ACL reconstruction.
A Theoretical Framework to Determine RHP Zero Dynamics in Sequential Interacting Sub-Systems
Authors: Maxim Anca , Ferracuti Riccardo , Ionescu Clara M.
Published: May 2019

A theoretical framework for determining the dynamics of interacting sub-systems is proposed in this paper. Specifically, a systematic analysis is performed that results in an indication about whether an MP or an NMP dynamics occurs in the analyzed process during operation. The analysis stems from the physical process description and the degree of coupling between sub-systems. The presented methodology is generalized for n sub-systems with sequential interaction (i.e., in which the coupling is unidirectional and occurs between consecutive sub-systems), and the outcome is useful investigation tool prior to the controller design phase. Given the generality of the approach, the theoretical framework is valid for any dynamic process with interacting sub-systems in the context of LTI systems.
