The affective and linguistic roots of gender stereotypes. How does grammatical gender influence the affective meanings attached to social categories in French and German?
Authors: Dametto Diego , Vieira Luc , Noël Tania , Schröder Tobias , Aelenei Cristina , Blaison Christophe
Published: July 2024

This paper compares the affective meanings attributed to feminine and masculine versions of the same social categories. We collected semantic differential ratings for 192 pairs of masculine and feminine social categories from two representative samples of n = 700 French and n = 700 German participants. We investigated how lexical and grammatical gender influences the affective meaning of social categories on Osgood’s dimensions of evaluation, potency, and activity, as well as how differences in affective meaning are related to known gender stereotypes. Our results suggest that gender does produce only small effects. However, they are not randomly distributed and consistent with well-known gender stereotypes. The results enrich social psychological research on gender as well as the cultural debate on the use of gender-fair language in grammatically gendered languages by providing a more nuanced assessment of the affective roots of gender stereotypes conveyed by language.
A taxonomy of treatment effects in data with two waves of measurement and a promotion of triangulation
Authors: Sorjonen Kimmo , Arshamian Artin , Lager Emil , Nilsonne Gustav , Melin Bo
Published: July 2024

It is common that researchers estimate the effect of a predictor (X) on a subsequent measure of an outcome (Y2) while adjusting for a prior measure of the outcome (Y1) and to interpret statistically significant effects to indicate increasing or decreasing effects of X on Y, even though this method is known to be susceptible to spurious findings. Here, we show that all combinations of null, positive, and negative estimated effects of X on Y2 when adjusting for Y1 and null, positive, and negative true effects of X on Y are possible. Hence, such adjusted effects, e.g., in cross-lagged panel models, should not be used for causal inference on their own. We recommend triangulation, where the effect of X on the Y2-Y1 difference as well as on Y1 when adjusting for Y2 are estimated in addition to the effect on Y2 when adjusting for Y1. Certain combinations of effects would corroborate (although never definitely prove) causal conclusions while other combinations would suggest that estimated effects may have been spurious and advise caution.

Emetophobia refers to a fear that oneself or others might vomit and is classified as a specific phobia in current diagnostic manuals. However, it is a relatively unknown and understudied mental disorder. Although it has been speculated that emetophobia might differ from other specific phobias (e.g., in terms of severity), studies on this are virtually non-existent. Thus, this retrospective study analyzed data at admission and discharge from 70 persons with emetophobia and 40 persons with other specific phobias who received a cognitive behavioral therapy-oriented, multimodal inpatient treatment (76.4% female; mean age 22.7 years, SD = 12.4). Nearly 80% of persons with emetophobia were female, more than half were adolescents and underweight, and the most common comorbid mental disorders were other anxiety disorders and depression. Compared to inpatients with other specific phobias, persons with emetophobia were younger, had a lower body weight, had higher phobic anxiety, and reported lower life satisfaction at admission. Across both groups, body weight increased with a small effect size and anxiety-related, depressive, and general psychopathology decreased and life satisfaction increased with medium-to-large effect sizes. In conclusion, the current study replicates findings about certain features of persons with emetophobia and is the first study that documents differences between persons with emetophobia and persons with other specific phobias, indicating that emetophobia partially represents a more severe type of specific phobia. Despite these differences, persons with emetophobia and persons with other specific phobias achieve similar and substantial symptom reductions during a multimodal inpatient treatment.
Structural Asymmetry in two Thallium-based Alloys: Tl-Mg and Tl-Na
Authors: Panthi Narayan , Bhandari Indra Bahadur , Koirala Ishwar
Published: July 2024

Different modelled equations are used to analyze the variation of the thermodynamic, microscopic and surface characteristics between the Tl-Mg and Tl-Na liquid alloys at 1000 K by considering TlNa2 and TlMg2 complexes. The Thermodynamic properties are studied under Quasi-Chemical Approximation and the agreement between theoretical and experimental results of thermodynamic properties about their melting temperatures verifies the validity of model. The transport and surface properties of the alloys are studied by Kaptay and Butler models respectively. From the theoretical observations, it is shown that the Tl-Mg alloy is more interacting than that of the Tl-Na alloy and exhibits an ordering nature below 0.3 concentration of Tl, but above this concentration Tl-Na alloy shows more ordering tendency. The Tl-Mg has a higher viscosity than the Tl-Na alloy within whole concentration of Tl.  On the basis of surface properties, Na segregates on the surface within entire concentration of Tl in Tl-Na alloy whereas Mg segregates on the surface below 0.35 concentration of Tl in Tl-Mg alloy.

Published: July 2024

Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus are vectors of many viral diseases including dengue. They prefer different types of wet containers for breeding which differ according to season and region. Hence, their distribution range and preferred breeding containers should be known for their control. To fulfill the information gap, an intensive survey of potential larval breeding sites was conducted in different altitudinal gradients of mid-western Nepal. A total of 2056 wet containers of 11 different types in 1540 household’s premises were inspected. Among them, 3.35% (n=69) containers of eight different types were positive for larvae and/or pupae of A. aegypti whereas 11 types of total 6.32 % (n=130) wet containers were positive for larvae and/or pupae of A. albopictus. Discarded tires and earthen pots were the most preferred breeding containers for A. aegypti and A. albopictus although the habitat preference was found to be different in different altitudinal gradients and seasons. The proportion of different types of available wet containers and the Aedes infested containers varied across the study sites and seasons. The dengue vectors show their presence up to 2438 m above sea level increasing the risk of Aedes borne diseases up to the high mountain region of mid-western Nepal. Hence, the extensive vector survey and change in breeding habitats either through public health education or by some form of law enforcement is essential.
UNDERSTANDING HOW SOCIAL RELATIONSHIPS CAN FOSTER MOTIVATION IN YOUTH SPORT
Authors:   , Morris Justin
Published: July 2024

"Youth sport athletes experience a wide range of social influences that impact their motivation and overall experiences in athletic endeavors. These relationships are complex and can have an impact on one another. The purpose of this dissertation is to examine the complex social relationships that affect the youth sport experience, with the goal of furthering our understanding of how those social relationships satisfied or frustrated the need for relatedness in former youth sport athletes. Study 1 examined the processes of the Coach-Athlete-Parent (C-A-P) Triangle and their relationships with relatedness need satisfaction and frustration. A battery of surveys was distributed to 260 former youth sport athletes who were current college students between the ages 18-23. The surveys assessed positive and negative perceptions of the C-A-P, relatedness need satisfaction and frustration, and intrinsic motivation. A path analysis was conducted to analyze the network of the relationships. Relatedness needs satisfaction mediated the relationship between positive processes in the C-A-P and interest and value. Negative processes of the C-A-P had a direct negative effect on perceived choice. Study 2 was a phenomenological investigation exploring the perceptions of social influences of former youth sport athletes during their youth sport experience. Ten participants (5 male, 5 female) participated in interviews about various social influences during their youth sport experience. An inductive content analysis identified five higher order themes: positive relationships enhance the youth sport experience, negative social behaviors undermine the youth sport experience, peer relationships can mediate bad coaching behavior, the benefits and drawbacks of social media, and the value of youth sport. Strong bonds and relationships were associated with positive experiences in youth sport, while feeling disconnected or mistreated led to negative youth sport experiences. Taken together, findings from these studies provide insight into how social relationships experienced by youth sport athletes can lead to feelings of relatedness or relatedness frustration which can in turn influence intrinsic motivation. A strong sense of relatedness enhanced youth sports experiences, while relatedness frustrations undermined the youth sport experience."
A Novel Personalized Feedback Intervention for Sleep Problems among College Students Who Drink Heavily
Authors:   , Abarno Cristina
Published: July 2024

Heavy episodic drinking (HED) among college students is prevalent and contributes to alcohol-related problems. Personalized feedback interventions (PFIs), which includes provision of corrective normative feedback (PNF) is effective at reducing alcohol use and related problems among college students (Miller et al., 2013). However, college students endorse poor subjective sleep quality which is associated with increased alcohol use and related problems (DeMartini & Fucito, 2014). Yet, there is a lack of effective brief one-session web-based PFIs in which sleep and alcohol use are concurrently addressed among college students who drink heavily. The present study sought to examine the efficacy of a novel brief online PFI for sleep problems among college students who engage in HED. Undergraduate students who reported current (past-month) alcohol use and experiencing at least one past-month episode of HED, one alcohol related problem, and sleep problems were randomly assigned to receive PFI-Alcohol-Sleep (including content regarding PFI for insomnia and alcohol including PNF; n = 64), PFI-Alcohol (including PNF for alcohol use only; n = 66), or an assessment only control condition (n = 66). Condition was not related to follow-up alcohol (use frequency, use-related problems) or sleep (insomnia symptoms, sleep hygiene behaviors) outcomes. Time was related to both alcohol and sleep outcomes such that there were decreases in alcohol use, related-problems, insomnia symptoms, and sleep hygiene behaviors from baseline to one-month follow-up. Insomnia symptoms and sleep hygiene behaviors did not mediate the relationship between condition and follow-up alcohol use and related-problems. However, participants in the assessment only control condition endorsed greater follow-up alcohol use compared to the treatment conditions and baseline insomnia symptoms predicted follow-up alcohol related-problems (but not use) when accounting for the variance attributable to baseline negative affect and sex. Results may highlight the importance of incorporating sleep components within online alcohol PFIs for reducing heavy drinking and sleep problems among college students.
MECHANISMS OF SELF-REGULATION IN THE FORMATION OF A FAVORABLE INSTITUTIONAL ENVIRONMENT FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF GOODS MARKETS
Authors: BURKYNSKYI B.V. , SHCHERBAK A.V.
Published: July 2024

Topicality. World experience shows that industry and professional self-regulation can be an effective alternative to state regulation, an important tool of harmonizing the interests of entrepreneurs, consumers, and the state in many areas. Self-regulation in Ukraine has received some development and has a positive effect on the economy, but there are a number of problems that hinder its implementation. At the same time, the active use of self-regulation will increase the efficiency of public administration and accelerate the recovery of Ukraine's economy after the war.Aim and tasks. The purpose of the article is to find out the advantages and disadvantages of self-regulation based on the analysis of world experience and to determine the areas in which it can be an effective alternative to state regulation. The tasks of the research: to analyze the necessity and essence of self-regulation and co-regulation, to consider the practical experience of self-regulation in developed countries, to prepare proposals for improving its development in Ukraine.Materials and methods. Normative legal acts of Ukraine and the European Union were used in the article. Official documents of the OECD, works of foreign and domestic scientists became the information base of the research. The system-structural approach, comparative analysis, and synthesis were used in the research process.Research results. The essence of self-regulation, functions of self-regulatory organizations are analyzed. It is shown that self-regulation has a number of advantages over state regulation, as it is more flexible, contributes to the reduction of state costs and the regulatory burden on business, and the application of forms of regulation that better take into account the specifics of specific markets. It is substantiated that the shortcomings of self-regulation can be completely or partially overcome due to effective state control over self-regulatory organizations, ensuring the transparency of their activities. It has been proven that in many markets the most effective is co-regulation, i.e. joint participation in the regulation of the state and market participants. The practical experience of self-regulation in a number of spheres was studied. The state of self-regulation in Ukraine is analyzed, positive consequences and existing shortcomings are determined.Conclusion. The recovery of Ukraine's economy after the war will accelerate if there is a harmonious combination of state regulation and self-regulation. It is necessary to create a systematic and integral legal framework through the adoption of the Law of Ukraine "On Industry and Professional Self-Regulation" and other normative acts. Using world experience, it is expedient to work out and offer domestic business entities acceptable models and practices of self-regulation and co-regulation.

Kidney diseases are very common in small animal medicine. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) has a high death rate among dogs. Initial clinical signs are absent or minimal, making diagnosis difficult, and delaying treatment. An appropriate clinical examination, and laboratory and imaging tests should be carried out to detect early renal alterations. When CKD is diagnosed at a more advanced stage, clinical signs are already present and life expectancy is reduced. To classify the severity of the process, the International Renal Interest Society (IRIS) classifies the patient with chronic kidney disease into four stages, progressing according to the increase in serum creatinine and symmetrical dimethyl arginine (SDMA). In addition, IRIS also has two sub-stages that determine greater potential for progression, based on proteinuria and systemic blood pressure (SBP). If altered, the sub-stages can also be interpreted as staging, since the alteration present already classifies it as stage 1. Once the patient has CKD, staging is carried out and monitored, with the aim of stabilizing the patient, slowing down progression and increasing their quality of life.

Authors: Dolores Gómez Barriga Maria
Published: July 2024

Background/Aim: Effective communication between patients and healthcare professionals is crucial to ensuring optimal health outcomes. The study´s objective was to describe the impact on communication and information that patients have after the placement of white boards in the rooms of the Cardiology inpatient units of four hospitals. Material and Methods: Quasi-experimental multicenter before-after study with a non-equivalent control group to evaluate the improvement in the information and communication received by the patient after the placement of whiteboards in the rooms of the cardiology hospitalization units of 4 hospitals, during the year 2021. All patients were included with the condition that they were over 18 years old of age with a minimum stay of 3 days. The variables to be collected were knowledge of the professionals responsible for their care, care objectives, procedures and/or tests to be performed, with a collection in two phases, and gender/age. The analysis is based on the characteristics of the variables. Results: Total population =364, 176 prior phase and 188 after implantation, 39,8% women and 51,6% men. In the previous phase, the patients reported knowing the nurses 3,7% vs 96,3%, the nursing assistants 7,4% vs 92,6%, the doctors 31,4% vs 68,6%, the care goals 17% vs 83% and tests 13,8% compared to 86,2% later (p<0,001- Pearson's chi-squared value). Discussion: The study confirms that whiteboards in patient rooms improve communication and healthcare staff knowledge. While the usefulness of whiteboards is acknowledged, the research couldn't directly compare their effects with other studies. Limitations such as incomplete patient satisfaction analysis and lack of sample randomization are noted. However, the multicenter design of the study strengthens its conclusions. Conclusions: After placing whiteboards in patient rooms, there is an improvement in communication and in the information that patients admitted to the hospitalization units studied have.
Preliminary Results of Conservative Mitral Valve Surgery at The Andre Festoc Center of The Mother -Child
Authors: Ibrahima Diarra Baba
Published: July 2024

In developed countries rheumatic disease has become a virtual disease. On the other hand it remains the most frequent cause of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in people under 40 years of age in our developing countries. The aim of this work is to present the preliminary results of mitral valve repair in a developing country. This is a 52-month mono-centric retro-prospective descriptive study from September 10, 2018 to December 31, 2022.The study was carried out at the André Festoc center of the mother-child university hospital center ‘ Le Luxembourg’ in Bamako. During the period of our study 490 patients underwent heart surgery, 174 patients or 35.51% had mitral surgery and mitral plasty on rheumatic valvulopathy was performed in 35 patients or 20.11% of mitral surgeries and 7.14% of all cardiac operations. We collected 33 cases, 2 patients were lost to follow-up. 72% of patients were female, with a sex ratio of 0.4. Mean age was 12.9 ±3.9 years, with extremes of 5 and 25 years. Valvular retraction was the most common lesion, accounting for 81.8% of cases. All patients underwent surgery under CEC ranging from 81 to 245 min, with an average of 131.40 ± 40 min. The mean aortic clamping time was 87.72 ± 31.60 min, with extremes of 26 and 169 min. Attendance time ranged from 7 to 105 min, with a mean of 31.33 ± 20.94 min. Mitral plasty is a preferred alternative to valve replacement in children. The complexity of the lesions involved makes this procedure difficult, and good results can only be achieved through rigorous patient selection and precise lesion analysis.
Uncontrolled diabetes mellitus; results of cytokines and endothelial function during coronary artery bypass surgery
Authors: Tulga Ulus A.
Published: July 2024

Objective: Unregulated type 2 diabetes mellitus is a major risk factor for coronary artery bypass surgery [CABG]. Perioperative values of cytokines and the endothelial function of diabetic patients who have controlled and uncontrolled glucose were compared according to HbA1c levels. The parameters were analyzed and compared following the hospital admission and started to the appropriate treatment. Methods: Forty patients undergoing CABG were included the study. Patients were divided into 3 groups according to preoperative HbA1c levels; the patients who had HbA1c level below 7 [group 2], HbA1c values in between 7-10 [group 3], above 10 [group 4] were marked as groups 1-3 and additional 10 non diabetic patients were included as the control group [group 1]. Results: The demographic data of the patients were not significantly changed among the groups except female gender. Postoperative inotropic support necessity was high especially in group 4. Preoperative endothelial dysfunction was also severely impaired in the high HbA1c groups but this difference was returned to nonsignificant level following treatment. Noninvasive endothelial function was calculated as 2.0 in control group but 0.69±0.32, 1.36±0.69, 0.99±0.15 in groups 2-4. Apelin, soluble intercellular adhesion molecule and Platelet Activating Factor levels were changed significantly among the groups [p<0.002]. Conclusion: We indicate that HbA1c level is an important predictor of morbidity during the CABG surgery. In our study there is a significant difference between diabetic and non-diabetic patients in terms of both endothelial function and some of the inflammatory cytokines. These parameters improved by the time and following the appropriate treatment of diabetes mellitus but effect the CABG surgery.

Published: July 2024

Aim: To evaluate the empowerment of patients diagnosed with Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) and Heart Failure (HF) admitted to a Level III hospital. Material and Methods: An observational cross-sectional study conducted over a sufficient period to collect the sample. The study population includes patients admitted to a Level III hospital in cardiology units, diagnosed with Heart Failure or Acute Coronary Syndrome. Inclusion criteria consist of diagnosis of Heart Failure or Acute Coronary Syndrome and consent to participate in the study. The main variable used is the CEPEC questionnaire (Chronic Patient Empowerment Questionnaire), in its shortened version with cross-cultural validation, developed by Dr. Garcimartín. Results: The Chronic Patient Empowerment Scale (CEPEC) was used. The data indicated a total of 81 men and 39 women, with 37 patients having HF and 84 with ACS. The age range was 50 to 55 years, with more patients below 65 years. The CEPEC scale had a Cronbach's alpha of 0.764. There was a significant age difference (p <0.05) between the two units under study. For each diagnosis, scale items were compared, revealing statistical differences in items P-5, P-15, and P-24. Conclusions: The scale has proven to be valid and reliable, providing indicators of poor or inadequate patient progress. These circumstances enable the development of precise actions to enhance the situation and quality of life for hospitalized patients.

Published: July 2024

Small Press Machine Line A in the Stamping & Tools Division of PT. Mekar Armada Jaya produces car and body parts as effectively as possible to increase productivity. However, the performance of the machine and the maintenance system that is carried out is not comprehensive on aspects of the Small Press Machine and takes a long time, causing high machine downtime, this affects the smooth running of the production process. Therefore, measuring effectiveness uses Method the Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE), Six Big Losses and Failure Mode Effect Analysis (FMEA). Research results for January 2021 – December 2022, namely the A1 Machine is 82%, the A2 Machine is 76% and the A3 Machine is 58%. The loss factor of the three machines is caused by Equipment Failure Loss (equipment damage loss). The results of the analysis using the FMEA method show that the failures that often occur in the three machines include the engine having an over stroke, the work method is due to the visual check method, and the engine has been repaired by an AIDA technician. So, it is suggested that in order to increase the effectiveness of the Small Press Line A machine, the Stamping & Tools Division should apply FMEA method to look for components or processes that have failed, whether humans, machines, work methods, or materials.

Published: July 2024

В статті розглянуто власний капітал як елемент банківського капіталу, що відповідно до міжнародних та національних стандартів поділяється на основний та додатковий. Проаналізовано сукупний власний капіталу банківського сектору України в розрізі основного та додаткового. Аналіз стану основного капіталу в розрізі складових демострує нестабільність динаміки пов’язану з невизначеністю. Структура основного капіталу не зазнала суттєвих змін: домінантною, природньо, є частка фактично сплаченого зареєстрованого статутного капіталу. Основний капітал є основою стійкості банку, але, незважаючи на значний запас капіталу на рівні системи, окремі банки залишаються вразливими до ризиків, головним чином через потенційні додаткові кредитні збитки від війни. Аналіз темпів приросту складових додаткового капіталу банків України підтверджує нестабільний характер та захисну функцію додаткового капіталу. В структурі складових додаткового капіталу домінують розрахунковий прибуток поточного року та нерозподілений прибуток, що склалося внаслідок переважання операцій з державними цінними паперами та депозитними сертифікатами НБУ. Розглянуто міжнародного досвіду запровадження податку на прибуток та його імплементація у вітчизняну практику. Проаналізовано основні регулятивні зміни в структурі капіталу вітчизняних банків.

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to evaluate the clinical characteristics and features of conventional ultrasound (CUS) and contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) in differentiating between renal urothelial carcinomas (RUC) and endophytic clear cell renal cell carcinomas (EccRCC). METHODS: A total of 72 RUCs and 120 EccRCCs confirmed by pathology were assessed retrospectively. Both CUS and CEUS were performed within 4 weeks before the surgery. Logistic regression analyses were used to select statistically significant variables of clinical, CUS, and CEUS features for the differentiation of RUC and EccRCC. Sensitivity (SEN), specificity (SPE), and the area under the receiver-operating characteristic curve (AUC) were assessed for diagnostic performance. Inter- and intra-observer agreements of CUS and CEUS features were evaluated using the intra-class correlation coefficient(ICC). RESULTS: Multiple logistic regression analysis demonstrated that clinical (age >50 years old and hematuria), CUS (size <4.0 cm, hypo-echogenicity, irregular shape, hydronephrosis) and CEUS (absence of non-enhancement area, iso- /hypo-enhancement in cortical phase and absence of rim-like enhancement) features were independent factors for RUC diagnosis. When combining clinical characters with CUS and CEUS features into an integrated diagnostic criterion, the AUC reached 0.917 (95% CI 0.873–0.961), with a sensitivity of 95.8% and specificity of 87.5%. ICC ranged from 0.756 to 0.907 for inter-observer agreement and 0.791 to 0.934 for intra-observer agreement for CUS and CEUSfeatures. CONCLUSIONS: The combination of clinical features of age and hematuria with imaging features of CUS and CEUS can be useful for the differentiation between RUC and EccRCC.
The influence of leadership on organizational performance through work-from-home outcomes under COVID-19 crisis in Thailand
Authors: Laohavichien Tipparat , Weerasai Chitawanphat
Published: July 2024

BACKGROUND

It’s not uncommon for the work-from-home (WFH) trend to persist after the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic. Various factors contribute to this continuation, including technological advancements and the benefits of it. The results of this study suggest suitable leadership styles for WFH.

OBJECTIVE

This research investigates transformational and transactional leadership on organizational performance through work-from-home outcomes during the COVID-19 crisis in Thailand.

METHODS

The data was collected by questionnaire from 444 employees who work for companies registered on the Stock Exchange of Thailand and the Market for Alternative Investment. These employees may work full-time or part-time from home or in a hybrid work arrangement. Data analysis employed the Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) method.

RESULTS

The main findings of this study indicate that during the COVID-19 crisis, transformational leadership did not directly influence employees’ work-for-home outcomes and had no direct or indirect effect on organizational performance. Conversely, transactional leadership is positively direct on organizational performance and indirectly through work-from-home outcomes.

CONCLUSIONS

The appropriate leadership style for the WFH environment during the COVID-19 pandemic is transactional leadership. This type of leader rewards employees for meeting expectations and imposes punishments for work that falls below the predetermined standard.
