Published: April 2020

Background & Aim:

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is the most common mental
health disorder among young children that affects the mothers’ lifestyles The aim of the present study
was to consider the quality of life in Iranian mothers with ADHD children.

Objective:

In this comparative study, we compared the quality of life between mothers of ADHD
children and mothers of normal children.

Methods:

In this descriptive study (2018-2019), a total of 75 mothers with ADHD children and
75 mothers with normal children, who were referred to referral educational hospital (Rasoul Hospital;
Tehran, Iran) were evaluated. ADHD criteria were assessed by means of the SNAP-IV questionnaire,
while the quality of life was evaluated by the SF-36 questionnaire. All data were analyzed by SPSS
software. The environmental, mental, social physical, health and quality of life were compared
between 2 groups.

Results:

The economic situation of mothers with normal children was average (73.3%) to good
(16%), while in mothers with ADHD children the economic situation was average (45.3%) to poor
(37.3%). Mothers’ employment in normal children group was 41.3%, but it was 14.6% in mothers
with ADHD children. A significant difference was reported between two groups in the mean of environmental
health score (p<0.05), social relationships (p<0.05), mental health (p<0.05), physical
health (p<0.01) and quality of life (p<0.01). The mean score of environmental health, social relationships,
mental health, physical health and quality of life in ADHD mothers was significantly
lower than mothers with normal children.

Conclusion:

The difficulties in the management of ADHD children negatively affect the quality of
mothers’ lifestyles. Therefore, preventive, educational and therapeutic interventions are recommended
to improve the mental health and the quality of life of mothers.

Correlation of Online Physician Rating Subscores and Association With Overall Satisfaction: Observational Study of 212,933 Providers
Authors: Zhao Hanson Hanqing , Luu Michael , Spiegel Brennan , Daskivich Timothy John
Published: April 2020

Background

Online physician rating websites commonly ask consumers to rate providers across multiple physician-based (eg, spending sufficient time, listening) and office-based (eg, appointment scheduling, friendliness) subdimensions of care in addition to overall satisfaction. However, it is unclear if consumers can differentiate between the various rated subdimensions of physicians. It is also unclear how each subdimension is related to overall satisfaction.

Objective

The objectives of our study were to determine the correlation of physician-based and office-based subdimensions of care and the association of each with overall satisfaction.

Methods

We sampled 212,933 providers from the Healthgrades website and calculated average provider metrics for overall satisfaction (likelihood to recommend doctor), physician-based subdimensions (trust in physician, ability to explain, ability to listen and answer questions, and spending adequate time), and office-based subdimensions (ease of scheduling, office environment, staff friendliness, and wait time). We used Spearman rank correlation to assess correlation between subdimension ratings. Factor analysis was used to identify potential latent factors predicting overall satisfaction. Univariate and multivariable linear regression were performed to assess the effect of physician and office-based factors on overall satisfaction.

Results

Physician-based metrics were highly correlated with each other (r=.95 to .98, P<.001), as were office-based metrics (r=.84 to .88, P<.001). Correlations between physician-based and office-based ratings were less robust (r=.79 to .81, P<.001). Factor analysis identified two factors, clearly distinguishing between physician-based metrics (factor loading = 0.84 to 0.88) and office-based metrics (factor loading = 0.76 to 0.84). In multivariable linear regression analysis, the composite factor representing physician-based metrics (0.65, 95% CI 0.65 to 0.65) was more strongly associated with overall satisfaction than the factor representing office-based metrics (0.42, 95% CI 0.42 to 0.42). These factors eclipsed other demographic variables in predicting overall satisfaction.

Conclusions

Consumers do not differentiate between commonly assessed subdimensions of physician-based care or subdimensions of office-based care, but composite factors representing these broader categories are associated with overall satisfaction. These findings argue for a simpler ratings system based on two metrics: one addressing physician-based aspects of care and another addressing office-based aspects of care.

THE EUROPEANIZATION OF THE WESTERN BALKANS, STRENGTENING THE RULE OF LAW AND FIGHTING THE CORRUPTION
Authors: Trailov Goran
Published: April 2020

The aim of this paper is to give an overview on how did Europeanization affect the field of the rule of law in the countries of WBs. However, the rule of law is a very broad area, made out of many subareas in the EU’s eyes (as it is in general), and tackling all of them would be too broad and for some periods even too complicated. Their analyzing would definitely exceed the maximum allowed number of pages for this paper. This paper, alongside a very brief overview of the field of the rule of law in WBs countries, will also focus more closely on the fight against the corruption, and in order to make it even more narrow, the emphasis will be on the two current EU candidate WBs countries, Serbia and Montenegro. The results presented in the concluding remarks are somewhat expected given the history and the current state of the two case countries, as well as the WBs overall. The still much needed reform in the field of the rule of law, and specifically in fighting the corruption is a must for these countries.

Published: April 2020

Objetivo: evaluar el efecto diferencial del estrés social agudo sobre la interleucina 6 salival mediante la prueba conductual Trier Social Stress Test (TSST).Método: participaron diecisiete estudiantes universitarios, normotensos, a quienes se registró la presión arterial media en tres momentos: 10 minutos antes, pre y post TSST. También se recolectó una muestra de IL-6 salival pre-post TSST.Resultados: hubo un incremento en la presión arterial media sólo cuando se presentó el TSST (p<0.001). El nivel de IL-6 pre-post tsst no mostró cambios estadísticamente significativos (p>0.05). El análisis de IL-6 reveló que 53 % de la muestra incrementó su concentración de IL-6 (p<0.001) mientras que 47 % de los participantes decrementó su nivel de IL-6 (p<0.01), existiendo una diferencia estadísticamente significativa post-TSST entre ambos subgrupos (p<0.05).Limitaciones: se recomienda establecer parámetros normativos de la IL-6 salival.Principales hallazgos: los datos preliminares que presentamos sugieren que el estrés social agudo incrementa la presión arterial, pero que este efecto induce una expresión diferencial de IL-6 en todos los participantes, en aquellos con una concentración baja de IL-6 se incrementa después del estrés agudo, mientras que aquellos con un nivel alto de IL-6 previo, la prueba tiende a disminuirla.

Published: April 2020

This study concerns the ad texts from the perspective of discourse structure. At a specific layer, it reveals the superstructure of a five-type public service advertisement text discourse taken from Youtube. The five advertisements in question are “Diet Kantong Plastik”, “Polusi Plastik Multimedia SMKN 1 Surabaya 2018/2019”, “Kampanye Sosial Menguragi Sampah Plastik”, “Kurangi Sampah Plastik” and “Polusi Sampah Plastik”. Achieving this goal was done by making use of a qualitative research design. The data were collected through several procedures namely finding, downloading, filtering, taking notes and researching the data to discover the text superstructure. Data were analyzed using padan method, or identity method. Then the results of data analysis are presented in the form of a description. The study addresses the issue of discourse structure with the superstructure (Dijk, 1980) theory approach. The results of the data analysis showed that each adver- tisement had four sequences of structures, namely introduction, body, closing and conclusion. These four com- ponents are the ones that form the fifth superstructure of the public service advertisements reviewed in this paper. By chance a service advertisement is indeed of many analysable aspects. The present study is only re- stricted to plastic trash community service ads on Youtube. However, public service announcements or adver- tisements can also be obtained from other electronic media such as TV or radio and from the print media. For the futher studies, it is necessary to explore the community service advertisements on plastic waste that are displayed through these media.

Every human has their own characteristics of languages and in order to understand one language to another languages, then, translation was essential and fully needed. In order to avoid the awkward translation, therefore the translator must use a technique in translating the texts. The research aimed at analyzing the equivalence between the source language and its translations based on the translation techniques applied by translator. This research focused on the amplification and transposition techniques could be seen on the imperative sentences especially command. The research was conducted by applying qualitative method. The research was conducted by applying library research and observation methods. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive qualitative method. The study applied two methods to present the analysis of data as follows informal and formal method. Target of research did not involve participants however, this research focused on analyzing data was English commands and its translation into Indonesian by using amplification and transposition found in the novel. The result of research showed amplification and transposition were dominant used in translating the English commands (SL) into Indonesian (TL). The translator applied amplification and transposition to find equivalences when transferring the meaning from the source language (SL) into target language (TL). Therefore, the overlapping translation could be minimized. Amplification had a role especially the addition of information. The phenomena occurred when the detail information did not contain in the SL and the translator must be sensitive by putting the necessary information in TL. Transposition created three parts of shift: structure, unit, and class of shift.

More is less? The curvilinear impact of coach competency on athlete psychological engagement
Authors: Teng Qiuling , Wang Xianjin
Published: April 2020

We explored the impact of coach professional and emotional-healing competency on athlete psychological engagement. We tested our predictions with a sample of 418 athletes. The results showed there was an inverted U-shaped relationship between coach professional competency and athletes'
psychological engagement, and a positive relationship between coach emotional-healing competency and athletes' psychological engagement. We also found that coach emotional-healing competency moderated the inverted U-shaped relationship between coach professional competency and athlete psychological
engagement. The findings provide the critical practical implication that coaches should not neglect to foster the competency of emotional healing as they concentrate on the promotion of their professional competency in the process of working with athletes.

Authors: Cai Lu , Ma Zhiqiang , Li Zhao
Published: April 2020

Technology-based small enterprises are an important component of regional economic development and scientific and technological innovation; their cooperative research and development (R&D) behavior of employees of these enterprises plays a significant role in promoting their innovation
efficiency. With 351 valid samples collected from administrative staff members of enterprises in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Jiangsu, we conducted an empirical test, based on the theory of planned behavior. We performed correlation analysis and structural equation modeling and found
a positive effect of behavioral attitude, subjective norm, self-efficacy, and perception of controllability of cooperative R&D on the cooperative R&D behavior in technologybased small enterprises. We concluded that cooperative R&D intention serves as an important mediating variable
for these factors in generating enterprise behavior. The impact of perception of controllability on cooperative R&D behavior of the employees in technology-based small enterprises was nonsignificant, and selfefficacy directly engendered cooperative R&D behavior.

Diseño analítico, prospectivo. A cada uno de los 256 fumigadores sin otras condiciones susceptibles de afectar la enzima, se le tomó semestralmente muestra de 10 mL de sangre venosa periférica; hasta completar 4 mediciones. Cada muestra de sangre fue repartida en dos tubos heparinizados, preservados en frío (2–8°C) hasta 10 horas máximo. El rango de normalidad utilizado como referencia fueron las cifras encontradas para Colombia por Carmona-Fonseca en adultos no expuestos utilizando la técnica EQM®, la misma que ha sido utilizada en este estudio. Resultados. La edad de inicio en la tarea de fumigación fue de 14 a 16 años (73%), 100% se mantuvo laboralmente activos, en contacto laboral con insecticidas órgano-fosforados y diversos compuestos activos herbicidas durante tiempo de exposición entre 8 y 28 años (67%).El promedio de las cuatro mediciones de colinesterasa eritrocitaria en fumigadores osciló entre 33.8 y 27.6, con descensos progresivos del valor inicial (67%) en las mediciones sucesivas, existe 37.2% de sintomáticos para intoxicación crónica. Conclusiones. La exposición continuada a plaguicidas refleja alteraciones de la colinesterasa eritrocitaria entre los fumigadores informales. Discusión. Hallazgos similares con Abou-Hatab en relación con resultados y la edad, entre expuestos sintomáticos se evidencia intoxicación crónica.

Con el advenimiento de la terapia antirretroviral (ART), la infección por el virus de inmunodeficiencia humana (VIH) se ha convertido en una enfermedad crónica con complicaciones metabólicas importantes más acentuadas que en la población general. Mientras no se tenga una vacuna que erradique las tasas de infección y no exista una cura para esta pandemia, se debe ser más incisivo en el controlar las comorbilidades, entre las que destacan las alteraciones en el perfil de lípidos pues aumentan el riesgo cardiovascular.
The Effectiveness of Social Media Usage within Social Movement to Reject the Reclamation of the Jakarta Bay, Indonesia

Presidental Degree  No. 95 of 1995 in the era of President Soeharto was a fundamental basis in reclamation planning. The reason for the reclamation is to develop the Pantura area as an economic area and land expansion in Jakarta. However, this policy was opposed by many groups, one of which was the Ministry of the Environment by issuing the results of the 2003 Environmental Impact Study which stated that reclamation was not feasible to be continued. In addition, the reclamation plan had the potential to harm 17,000 fishermen who lived in the Jakarta bay reclamation development area; they felt the impact socially, economically and environmentally. The purpose of this study is to analyze the effectiveness of the reclamation rejection movement in the digital age. The paradigm of this research is constructivism, with qualitative and quantitative method approaches. Data retrieval on social media was carried out in Python 3 and Drone Emprit Academic to obtain SNA results and conversation trends and the distribution of issue locations on Twitter. This research was conducted in the Kaliadem and Kalibaru Fishermen Village, North Jakarta, involving 50 respondents and 5 informants. The result showed that social media has an effective role in encouraging the sensitivity of public attitudes in the movement. This is evidenced by the expansion of the message to reject reclamation in various regions, and it can encourage policy changes.

Published: April 2020

Z-TLM based compact modeling approach for dispersive media exhibiting
magnetoelectric coupling is presented in this paper. Scattering parameters
based representation of considered medium is created in a form of compact
model by extracting effective electromagnetic parameters using a retrieval
method, and implementing them into a non-uniform TLM grid. Proposed approach
is illustrated here on the example of dispersive isotropic chiral medium
modeling.

Diabetic retinopathy is a potentially blinding eye
disease that threatens the vision of a ninth of diabetic patients. Progression
of the disease has long been attributed to an initial dropout of pericytes that
enwrap the retinal microvasculature. Revealed through retinal vascular digests,
a subsequent increase in basement membrane bridges is observed. Using cell-specific
markers, we demonstrate that pericytes rather than endothelial cells colocalize
with these bridges. We show that the
density of bridges transiently increases with elevation of Ang-2, PDGF-BB, and
blood sugar, is rapidly reversed on a time scale of days, and often associated with
a pericyte cell body located off-vessel. Cell-specific knockout of KLF4 in
pericytes fully replicates this phenotype. In vivo imaging of limbal
vessels demonstrates pericyte migration off-vessel, with rapid pericyte
filopodial-like process formation between adjacent vessels. Accounting for off-vessel and on-vessel
pericytes, we observe no pericyte loss relative to non-diabetic control
retina. These findings reveal the
possibility that pericyte perturbations in location and process formation may
play a role in the development of pathological vascular remodeling in diabetic
retinopathy.
Short pulse laser welding of aluminum and copper alloys in dissimilar configuration

The present paper deals with short-pulse laser welding of copper and aluminum alloys in dissimilar configuration. In particular, a 100 W nanosecond-class pulsed fiber laser is exploited as a source for welding lap-joints both with linear and spt strategy. The investigation is aimed at understanding the role of the main process parameters, such as pulse shape, duration and energy, peak power, and welding speed on the weld bead characteristics (width, penetration depth and width at the interface). The SPI laser source exploited in this investigation allows the selection of a wide range of pulse shapes, any of them characterized by specific parameters, which favor different interaction mechanisms with the base material. According to this, the goal is to optimize the use of this kind of source for welding high-reflectivity thin materials. The results pointed out that some of the selectable pulse shapes are very suitable for the welding process and that the very low heat input delivered allows a low mixing of the two base materials and thus limits the occurrence of brittle end hard intermetallic phases. In particular, the wobbling scanning strategy turned to be very flexible, since it allows to fine tune penetration depth and width at the interface and allows a proper fitting of the joint to the desired mechanical characteristics.
