BACKGROUND
Renal replacement therapy for paediatric end-stage renal disease (ESRD) has developed steadily since its introduction five decades ago. Continuous and long-term analysis of patient outcomes is essential for quality control.

METHODS
The Swiss Paediatric Renal Registry, founded in 1970, includes patients diagnosed with ESRD, defined as dialysis for more than three months or renal transplantation, at age <20 years. Here we describe the incidence, primary renal disease, treatment modalities and long-term outcomes over 45 years.

RESULTS
This paper reports on 367 children and adolescents treated with chronic renal replacement therapy in Switzerland. Incidence was 5.4 per million children per year, with a tendency to increase over time. The primary renal disease was congenital anomalies of the kidney and the urinary tract in 133 (36%), monogenetic hereditary diseases in 122 (33%) and acquired diseases in 112 (31%) patients. The first renal replacement therapy was haemodialysis in 194 (53%), peritoneal dialysis in 116 (32%) and pre-emptive renal transplantation in 57 (15%) patients. Over the years, pre-emptive renal transplantation became more frequent (34% of all first renal replacement therapies in 2006–2015), reducing the duration of dialysis. Median time on dialysis until transplantation decreased from 1.60 years in 1981–90 to 0.34 years in 2010–15. Over the four decades 1970–80, 1981–90,1991–2000 and 2001–10, the one-year graft survival rate improved from 0.76 to 0.80, 0.89 and then 0.96; and the five-year graft survival rate improved from 0.44 to 0.64, 0.84 and 0.89, respectively. The five-year patient survival rates for the four decades were 0.83, 0.99, 0.93 and 0.94; and the 10-year patient survival rates were 0.75, 0.96, 0.88 and 0.94, respectively. In the four cohorts starting renal replacement therapy in the 70s, 80s, 90s and 00s, the number of children alive after five years of renal replacement therapy increased from 15 to 24, 47 and then 45 respectively. In total, 29 patients (8%) died during chronic renal replacement therapy with ESRD before the age of 20 years.

CONCLUSION
Over time, a higher number of children on renal replacement therapy survived, graft survival improved, and the duration of dialysis before renal transplantation decreased.

AIMS OF THE STUDY
Overweight and obesity in children and the harmful health consequences of these conditions throughout the course of their lives is a growing, worldwide public health problem. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the evolution of the prevalence of being overweight and obese among 5- to 6-year-old schoolchildren in Geneva from 2003 to 2018, and to compare it to other areas of Switzerland.

METHODS
A cross-sectional study at nine points in time, conducted in public schools from 2003–2004 to 2017–2018. During a systematic health check at school, data on the height and body weight of 5- to 6-year-old children attending public schools in the canton of Geneva were obtained. 12,918 girls and 13,395 boys were recruited for the study. Cole’s references were used to classify the body mass index.

RESULTD
In 2017–18 the combined prevalence of overweight and obesity was 14.6%, of which 10.3% were overweight (14.5% for girls and 5.9% for boys) and 4.3% were obese (4.5% for girls and 4.2% for boys). For girls, we observed a non-significant increase in the prevalence of overweight of 2.5 points (p = 0.14) between 2003–04 and 2017–18, as opposed to boys, where we observed a non-significant downward trend (−2.7 points, p = 0.06) over the same period. A relatively marked and statistically significant increase in the prevalence of obesity (1.9 points, p = 0.0130) since 2010 was observed for both sexes in this age group.

CONCLUSION
From 2003 to 2018 we observed a stabilisation in the prevalence of overweight and obesity in childhood, which is consistent with results from other Swiss cities, as well as in some other countries worldwide. The significant increase in obesity observed since 2010 will have to be monitored and justifies pursuing public health policies and potentially some more aggressive approaches.
Barriers to seeking emergency care during the COVID-19 pandemic may lead to higher morbidity and mortality – a retrospective study from a Swiss university hospital

AIMS OF THE STUDY
While COVID-19 significantly overburdens emergency rooms (ERs) and hospitals in affected areas, ERs elsewhere report a marked decrease in patient numbers. This study aimed to investigate the assumption that patients with urgent problems currently avoid the ER.

METHODS
Electronic health records from the ER of a large Swiss university hospital were extracted for three periods: first, the awareness phase (ap) from the publication of the national government’s initiative “How to protect ourselves” on 1 March 2020 to the lockdown of the country on 16 March; second, the mitigation phase (mp) from 16–30 March; finally, patients presenting in March 2019 were used as a control group. We compared parameters including a critical illness as the discharge diagnosis (e.g., myocardial infarction, stroke, sepsis and ER death) using logistic and linear regression, as well as 15-day bootstrapped means and 95% confidence intervals for the control group.

RESULTS
In the three periods, a total of 7143 patients were treated. We found a 24.9% (42.5%) significant decline in the number of patients presenting during the ap (mp). Patients presenting during the mp were more likely to be critically ill. There was an increase of 233% and 367% (ap and mp, respectively) of ER deaths (none related to COVID-19) compared to the control period. Apart from polytrauma (increase of 5% in the mp), all other critical illnesses as discharge diagnosis showed a lower incidence in descriptive analysis. Significantly more patients died in the ER in both the ap and mp.

CONCLUSIONS
Barriers to seeking emergency care during COVID-19 pandemic may lead to higher morbidity and mortality. Healthcare authorities and hospitals must ensure low barriers to treatment and business as usual for all patients.

Published: August 2020

Hizmet sektörünün önemli bir alt bölümü olan eğitim sektöründe kalite, organizasyonun sürekli gelişim felsefesini benimsemesini ve müşteri tatminini sağlayacak şekilde etkili bir eğitim sunmasını kapsamaktadır. Eğitim hizmetlerinin kalitesinin ve müşterilerin memnuniyetinin ölçülmesinde de diğer endüstrilerin kullandığı etkili tekniklerin benimsemesi gerekir. Bu tekniklerin başında Kalite Fonksiyon Yayılımı gelmektedir. Bu çalışmada eğitim sektöründe hizmet kalitesi üzerine ServQual yöntemi ve Keşfedici Faktör Analizi ile desteklenen detaylı bir Kalite Fonksiyon Yayılımı uygulaması gerçekleştirilmiştir. Keşfedici Faktör Analizi temelli ServQual ile Kalite Fonksiyon Yayılımı entegrasyonu literatürde ender kullanılan özgün bir yöntemdir. Bu entegrasyonu gerçekleştirebilmek için 39 ifadenin yer aldığı Servqual temelli bir anket hazırlanmış ve 145 katılımcıya uygulanmıştır. Standart ServQual çalışmalarından farklı olarak Faktör Analizinden yararlanılarak 10 adet kalite boyutu elde edilmiştir. Bu kalite boyutları temelinde demografik özelliklere göre olan farklıları belirlemek için hipotez testleri gerçekleştirilmiştir. Daha sonra gerekli tüm matrisler elde edilerek detaylı bir şekilde Kalite Evi oluşturulmuştur. Bu çalışma literatürde sık rastlanan yükseköğretim kurumları uygulamaları yerine temel liselerde gerçekleştirilmiştir. Ayrıca, literatürde genellikle elde edilemeyen rakip kurum için gerçek veriler toplanmış ve sadece uzman görüşü ile oluşturulan kurgusal verilere dayanmak yerine gerçek verilere dayalı bir rekabetçi karşılaştırma yapılmıştır.

Authors: Moazzam Zorays , Salim Areej , Hilal Kiran , Arshad Muhammad
Published: August 2020

Background: As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to disrupt global affairs through a variety of manifestations, a severe presentation of some COVID-19 pediatric patients has emerged, presenting as multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) that may mimic surgical conditions.
Case Presentation: We report the case of a 9-year-old boy who presented with acute, intermittent abdominal pain and fever. Further inquiry suggested a hyperinflammatory disorder affecting multiple organ systems. Upon COVID-19 PCR testing, the patient was reported as COVID-19 positive in the second test on the 2nd day of admission, after an initial negative test upon admission. We describe the course of this patient’s disease from presentation until discharge and discuss the emerging literature on this potentially fatal complication.
Conclusion: MIS-C should be a differential diagnosis in patients who may present with acute abdominal pain in the emergency room.

Published: August 2020

Solanum L. es uno de los géneros más rico de la familia Solanaceae Juss., su importancia económica es ampliamente reconocida en el mundo para la alimentación y por sus propiedades medicinales o farmacéuticas, sin embargo, se carece de información sobre la germinación in vitro de estos recursos filogenéticos en Paraguay. El presente trabajo tuvo por objeto estudiar la germinación in vitro del grano de polen de las especies de Solanum del Campus Universitario de la UNA. Para la identificación taxonómica se realizó observación directa y al fotomicroscopio de las partes vegetativas y reproductivas. La germinación in vitro se realizó en medio de cultivo nutritivo agar-sacarosa-ácido bórico. Se analizaron 5 especies de Solanum L. que fueron S. americanum chacoense, S. granulosumleprosum, S.pali-nacanthum y S. sisymbriifolium. El rango de germinación in vitro del grano de polen para las cinco especies fue 43-70%.
A recepção de O Capital no Brasil: 50 anos de sua primeira edição completa (1968-2018)
Authors: Marchetti Fabiana
Published: August 2020

En el año 1968, la editorial Civilización Brasileña publica la primera edición completa de El Capital en Brasil, traducida directamente del alemán por Reginaldo Sant’Anna. Antes de que ese proyecto se concreta, las ideas de Marx circulaban en los medios obreros e intelectuales del país hace muchas décadas, enfrentando las dificultades de lectura y traducción de los textos, así como de su circulación, cercenada por los obstáculos políticos colocados por los recurrentes mecanismos de represión y el control social del Estado brasileño. A las particularidades locales, se suman los diferentes momentos de articulación del comunismo a nivel mundial y de las instituciones forjadas específicamente para la circulación de las obras de Marx y Engels. De este modo, este artículo pretende rescatar el histórico de la recepción d ‘El Capital en Brasil, pasando por las diversas ediciones resumidas hasta llegar a su primera edición completa, que en 2018 conmemoró 50 años, junto con la conmemoración del bicentenario de nacimiento de Karl Marx.
Los discursos bibliotecarios sobre la lectura en la Argentina durante las primeras décadas del siglo XX. Algunas claves para la constitución de un objeto de conocimiento
Authors: Planas Javier
Published: August 2020

El objetivo del trabajo es conceptualizar la producción de un discurso sobre la lectura asociado a la expansión e incipiente profesionalización de las bibliotecas populares y obreras durante las primeras décadas del siglo XX en Argentina. Mediante un relevamiento de documentos, entre los que cabe consignar, folletos, publicaciones periódicas y libros correspondientes al período, se analiza la manera en que los actores involucrados con el hacer de las bibliotecas activaron una serie de resortes didácticos que relacionaron, por una parte, una pedagogía de la lectura; por otra, un conocimiento del espacio bibliotecario y de sus normas de uso y orden, en relación con los esfuerzos de profesionalización del bibliotecario como garante de la prolongación de la institución biblioteca. Entre las principales conclusiones, se constata la presencia de distintas relaciones de diferencia y oposición entre los participantes del campo.
El “diálogo” como discurso emergente
Authors: Saferstein Ezequiel , Goldentul Analía
Published: August 2020

Artículo evaluado por pares

Este trabajo indaga en la articulación de posiciones y discursos centrados en la noción de “diálogo” como un emergente modo de tramitar los conflictos por la memoria del pasado reciente. Se trata de un espacio heterogéneo, con lazos más o menos fuertes, en el que confluyen gestores culturales, políticos, periodistas, intelectuales y académicos, y que reconoce a la actividad de Pablo Avelluto, editor y responsable del área de Cultura de la Nación (2015-2019), como uno de sus principales puntos de referencia para la articulación de estos espacios y actores. La promoción de debates, iniciativas y propuestas alternativas a las políticas de memoria del kirchnerismo constituye una dimensión escasamente abordada por la literatura reciente, más enfocada en las miradas reconciliatorias que promueve la prensa liberal-conservadora, que en la importancia asignada por el gobierno de Cambiemos al plano cultural para intervenir en el campo de las memorias.

Historia y teoría de la recepción
Authors: Burke Peter , Domínguez Rubio Lucas
Published: August 2020

En lo que sigue argumentaré (1) que el concepto de recepción(en alemán Rezeption, en francés réception, en italiano recezione,etc.), es más antiguo de lo que generalmente se piensa; (2) que,aún así, el reciente ‘giro’ en esta dirección resulta muy signifi-cativo; (3) que el concepto de ‘traducción cultural’ resulta útilpara los estudios de recepción; (4) que una serie de problemasasedian a los académicos que intentan rastrear la historia de larecepción de textos u otros artefactos culturales; y que, a pesarde estos problemas, este enfoque sigue siendo esclarecedor parala historia intelectual. Sobre la base de que cuanto más distan-tes están las dos culturas más visible se vuelve el proceso derecepción, privilegiaré ejemplos provenientes de las relacionesculturales entre Europa y el este asiático.

Entre los bárbaros
Authors: Domínguez Rubio Lucas
Published: August 2020

Artículo evaluado por pares

En un primer momento, el presente artículo destaca la enorme importancia que han tenido las formulaciones tácitas y explicitas del problema llamado de ‘recepción de ideas’ en la historia cultural argentina. De este modo, estas páginas proponen una periodización de los diferentes reconocimientos teóricos que alcanzó este problema; aunque al mismo tiempo se trató de un problema metodológico que ha quedado fuera tanto de la revisiones historiográficas de la historia argentina como de la historiografía filosófica propiamente dicha. En un segundo momento, el presente texto sostiene que el problema surge y se explicita al calor de la profesionalización académica de la filosofía y de la historia como disciplinas. En este punto, la hipótesis de lectura resulta clara. La llamada “reacción antipositivista” involucró también una pregunta sobre cómo historizar la producción cultural del país. Este interrogante se plasmó a través de una serie de obras historiográficas a cargo de los profesores de filosofía. Según la lectura propuesta, fueron entonces los principales referentes de las carreras de filosofía quienes abordaron el problema sobre cómo historizar las corrientes de pensamiento en la historia argentina y, por lo tanto, también cómo pensar la recepción de ideas. Señalamos los distintos esquemas teóricos bajo los cuáles se sugirió pensar este problema ―la sociología filosófica de los intereses creados de Ingenieros, la axiología croceana de Korn, la “axiología empírica” de Alberini, la no desarrollada “sociológica idealista” de Cossio― y los modos de huir de este problema ―el ensayo filosófico sobre el ser nacional, las lecturas internalistas o la apuesta por una filosofía teórica desconectada de contextos políticos concretos. De modo que no se trató de problema abordado por las primeras generaciones de historiadores profesionales al menos hasta la estabilización del proyecto historiográfico de José Luis Romero que se dio a partir de 1945. En relación a esta hipótesis, el tercer apartado determina dos gestos que desde el campo filosófico pretendieron correr la indagación filosófica de este problema. A partir de este momento, el ensayo filosófico identitario y las lecturas historiográficas internalistas parecen imponerse dentro del ámbito de estudios filosóficos, de modo tal que son estos dos tipos de textos los que finalmente se instalan durante las décadas siguientes.

Published: August 2020

Artículo evaluado por pares

La presente comunicación versa alrededor del llamado“giro posmoderno” en la archivología, a partir del impactoproducido por una serie de textos, entre los que se cuen-tan no sólo Mal de Archivo de Jacques Derrida sino tam-bién otros, firmados por archivistas como Eric Ketelaar,Terry Cook y Lucia María Velloso de Oliveira, a lo que sesumó dos factores fundamentales: la “revolución informá-tica” y las nuevas demandas y necesidades de la sociedadcivil frente al archivo en tanto institución, y, por ende, losnuevos desafíos que se les presentan a los profesionalesque trabajan allí. Respecto a esto último, se esboza un es-tudio de caso: el trabajo que se viene desarrollando en el“Área de Archivos y Colecciones Particulares” del Centrode Documentación e Investigación de la Cultura de Izquier-das (CeDInCI).

Nietzsche en el anarquismo rioplantense (1890-1910): Consideraciones teóricas y metodológicas
Authors: Cremonte Martín
Published: August 2020

Artículo evaluado por pares

El microsistema de recepción temprana de la filosofía deNietzsche en el Río de la Plata se configuró a través de al-gunos operadores discursivos: el anarquismo, el idealismoarielista, el dandismo, el materialismo, la psicopatología,el anticlericalismo, el darwinismo social y el nacionalis-mo. En la disputa actual por la significación política de lasideas nietzscheanas, tanto la llamada “hermenéutica de lainocencia” como la interpretación “apolítica” de la filologíano historizan la fuerza ilocucionaria de los conceptos. Encambio, la perspectiva de la historia conceptual, entendidacomo pragmática de los conceptos, ofrece la alternativade comprender el efecto político del nietzscheanismo. Si-guiendo esta última línea de análisis, este trabajo estudiala relación entre la corriente del anarconietzscheanismoy las prácticas de la eugenesia durante la hegemonía delpositivismo.

Published: August 2020

Artículo evaluado por pares

El objetivo de este trabajo es una primera aproximación alarchivo personal de la familia Berman-Rodríguez [ca. 1897-2010], una familia de clase media porteña, para reflexionarsobre los límites, potencialidades y vías que abre la explo-ración de fondos de “gente común”. De las muchas aristasposibles, nos interesa profundizar en tres, como una for-ma de argumentar acerca de sus potencialidades para lainvestigación histórica, y la necesidad de su conservación:la historia de las clases medias y del ascenso social, la his-toria de las infancias y familias -en consonancia con los es-tudios históricos de la afectividad- y una historia materialde la felicidad infantil. Esperamos que esta reflexión sobrelos archivos personales de personajes y familias anónimassea una ocasión para pensar posibles líneas de indagación,y un alegato en torno a la necesidad de incentivar el aco-pio y la conservación de los archivos familiares en institu-ciones especializadas.

Although structural equation modeling (SEM) is a powerful statistical technique,
understanding its methodological assumptions before data analyses is essential to attaining more robust results. In this editorial, we outline four major methodological issues which are related to the application of SEM in Malaysia along with their respective guidelines. These issues include 1) probability and non-probability sampling, 2) pre-testing and pilot study, 3) CB-SEM and PLS-SEM, and 4) exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. We also recommend the steps that the local research community, especially the postgraduate students, should consider taking to keep themselves up-to-date with methodological advances and to make informed decisions about the use of SEM. This humble effort will help to clarify the confusion and doubts many lecturers and postgraduate students in Malaysia might have, and provide directions to help them proceed in a practical manner

Safety is an important employment issue that needs to be tackled because of the cost
implications it brings to organizations. As Malaysia aspires to become a developed nation by 2020, reducing workplace accidents is one of the key employment concerns it aims to address.Literature indicates that one of the reasons for occupational accidents at work is unsafe behavior. Adding to the safety research literature, this study examined to what extent perceptions of safety affect employees to comply with safety behavior at work. A survey was conducted in a big telecommunication company in Malaysia among 135 technical employees.Partial least square (PLS) analysis was employed in this study to test the research hypothesis.Our measurement model resulted in five facets of employee perception whose validity and reliability were confirmed. The analysis on the structural model revealed that management safety practices was the most significant predictor of safety compliance, followed by, co-worker safety and job safety. However, no significant effect was found for supervisor safety and satisfaction with safety programs. Practical implications, limitations of the study, and future research direction are discussed.

Published: August 2020

Job involvement is the psychological identification with one‟s job. Studies show that those with high job involvement are inversely related to absenteeism, positively related to organizational citizenship behavior and in-role performance, organizational identification and employee commitment. Meanwhile psychological empowerment is a motivational construct that comprises individual cognitions and perceptions that constitute feelings of behavioral and psychological investment in a work. Empirical research on empowerment suggested that empowering subordinates is also a major component of organizational effectiveness. Knowing the importance of these two variables, therefore, a study has been carried out to examine the relationship between psychological empowerment and job involvement among bank managers in Peninsular Malaysia. A questionnaire survey was conducted and data were analyzed by using Smart PLS 3.0. Results of a survey of 151 bank managers revealed that psychological empowerment is positively related with job involvement.

SHOULD BOOTSTRAPPING BE USED IN PLS-SEM? TOWARD STABLE P-VALUE CALCULATION METHODS
Authors: Kock Ned
Published: August 2020

The use of the partial least squares (PLS) approach for structural equation modeling (SEM) has been experiencing explosive growth, particularly in the last few years. The calculation of p-values is extensively used for hypothesis testing in PLS-SEM. Such calculation typically relies on standard errors estimated via bootstrapping. This leads to unstable p-values and prohibitive computational demands when very large samples are analyzed. We discuss two calculation methods relying on exponential adjustment that generate stable standard errors and p-values,and that have minimal computational requirements. A Monte Carlo experiment shows that the methods yield estimates of the actual standard errors that are generally consistent with bootstrapping, and often more precise. The methods are implemented as part of the software WarpPLS, starting in version 5.0.

Authors: Koloseni Daniel , Lee Chong Yee , Lee Gan Ming
Published: August 2020

The success of organizational information security policies depends on employee’s continuous compliance from the time when it was first introduced into the organization. Hence, the purpose of this study is to investigate continuous compliance with information security policy among public organizations. Data were collected from 265 employees working in Tanzania public organizations. Data analysis employed a Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) approach. The study found that the effects of organizational commitment, perceived susceptibility and perceived severity have a positive influence on employee’s continuance intention to comply with security policies, while perceived barriers have a negative influence. Moreover, the effects of perceived benefits, self-efficacy, cues and information security awareness have no significant influence. Based on these findings, recommendations were given. There is a paucity of empirical research which investigates key issues that may influence information security policy continuous compliance in organizations. This study addresses this research gap, by integrating the Health Belief Model (HBM) with employee’s organizational commitment and information security awareness constructs to investigate information security policy continuance compliance in organizations.

Authors: Becker Jan-Michael , Ringle Christian M. , Sarstedt Marko
Published: August 2020

When estimating moderating effects in partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLSSEM), researchers can choose from a variety of approaches to model the influence of a moderator on a relationship between two constructs by generating different interaction terms. While prior research has evaluated the efficacy of these approaches in the context of PLS-SEM, the impact of different data treatment options on their performance in the context of standard PLS-SEM and consistent PLS-SEM (PLSc-SEM) is as yet unexplored. Our simulation study addresses these limitations and explores if the choice of approach and data treatment option has a pronounced impact on the methods’ parameter recovery. An empirical application substantiates these findings. Based on our results, we offer recommendations for researchers wishing to estimate moderating effects by means of PLS-SEM and PLSc-SEM.

Published: August 2020

Micro enterprises formed the majority of business establishments in Malaysia and play an important role in the business ecosystem. There are numerous studies of intellectual capital on large organizations and small and medium enterprises, however no study has been carried out on micro enterprises. The findings of the partial-least square analysis of one hundred and six micro enterprises found that intellectual capital has a significant relationship to organizational performance. In addition, the relationship between intellectual capital and organizational performance was significantly influenced by tacit knowledge sharing. In particular, tacit knowledge sharing proves to be extremely relevant when it comes to reinforcing the intellectual capital on the performance of micro enterprises in Malaysia. Limitations and implications for future studies are discussed.

Published: August 2020

Firms devote large amounts of resources toward customer retention practices since relationship duration is a key driver in enhancing customer lifetime value. We posit that customer inertia plays an important role in determining service duration. In analysing service duration, we incorporate inertia into existing models that feature customer satisfaction, loyalty, and switching costs. A structural equation model is used to show the effect of latent mediation effect of inertia. We find that the mediating role of inertia is significant and the latent interaction effect of loyalty and inertia on service duration is also significant.

This study aims to examine the relationships between after-sales service, customer satisfaction, and loyalty. Moreover, this study also explains how after-sales services such as delivery, installation, product warranty, telephone/online supports, up gradation, and complaint influence customer loyalty with the mediating role of customer satisfaction. Online data were collected using a convenience sampling technique from 204 respondents who were currently using the Internet (i.e., 3G, 4G devices or fixed broadband) in Pakistan. The online-based questionnaire was implemented a five-point Likert scale with 38 items. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was performed to test the hypotheses. The results show (a) after-sales service has a significant influence on customer loyalty, (b) after-sales services effect customer satisfaction positively, (c) customer satisfaction has a direct and positive impact on loyalty, and (d) satisfaction partially mediates between after-sales service and loyalty. This study explains how service sector organizations maintain a profitable long-term relationship with customers, and how to get customer satisfaction and loyalty. In addition, this research may contribute to the literature that there exists a positive relationship between after-sales service, satisfaction, and loyalty which could apply to other service industries as well.

Debt culture is considered synonym amongst the low income household group. There are researches that indicate that loans amongst the low income household group, is not only with the purpose of fulfilling basic needs, but also for higher needs. If we explored from the hierarchy needs that introduced by Maslow (1954), there are five levels of needs required to be fulfilled, including social needs and self-esteem. According to the Maslow theory, individuals who can fulfill all of their needs is considered a healthy person, whereas those who are unable to fulfill their needs is at risk of being unhealthy or maybe sick in the human dimension. Therefore,humans in their effort to fulfil needs and desire would always find the best solution, even if they have to be in debt. Due to the passing of time, being in debt to fulfill a higher need is considered to be fair. Therefore, this research is conducted to observe the influence of social relationships and self-esteem towards the purchase of non-essential needs and the intention to add more debt among low-income groups in the plantation sector in Sabah. The word tahsiniyyat used in this study refer to non-basic expenses which is a requirement of the form of comfort and beauty. By using a questionnaire, we get 378 responses from low-income household individuals. The data analysis was carried out through Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modeling (PLSSEM) techniques by using the SmartPLS 2.0 M3 software. The results were statistically demonstrated their positive significant relationships between social relationships and selfesteem towards debt spending of tahsiniyyat needs and debt intention. This research is very beneficial in predicting debt behaviour among low-income group and useful to the monetary policy maker in order to implement the policy and assist this group. A few policy implications as well as suggestions were also discussed in this research.

There is evidence of the effects of exposure to workplace bullying on victims who may manifest symptoms of depression, anxiety, burnout, somatization, sleep difficulties, and posttraumatic stress; however, few studies have examined the impact of workplace bullying on suicidal ideation. The purpose of the present study was to examine the relationship between exposure to workplace bullying and suicidal ideation and how feelings of defeat and entrapment mediate this relationship. Also, it was intended to examine how rumination moderates this relationship. As a framework, it was used the Integrated Motivational-Volitional Model of Suicide Behavior (IMV) in which has been integrated several theoretical models of suicide. A total of 898 employed subjects participated in this cross-sectional design study. To examine the hypotheses, PLS-SEM model was used using the SMART-PLS program. Exposure to workplace bullying,defeat and entrapment were positively and significantly related to suicidal ideation. Meanwhile,feelings of defeat and entrapment mediated the relationship between exposure to workplace bullying and suicidal ideation and rumination moderated the relation between exposure to workplace bullying and feelings defeat. The results of the present study have both theoretical and practical implications, among which we can mention that results support and expand the IMV model of suicidal behavior. The exposure to workplace bullying brings a challenge for the psychologists in the occupational health context, and human resources practitioners in the management of this phenomenon in organizations to prevent it and in a worst case scenario, to respond in an effective manner due to its individual and organizational impact.
APPLICATION OF LATENT GROWTH MODELING ON MOTHER-REPORTED MONITORING
Authors: Farooqi Ahmad
Published: August 2020

One of the basic observation in the social and behavioral sciences is that things are changed over the time. Longitudinal data analysis can yield valuable information about this change. Although many techniques have been developed to capitalize on these desirable features of longitudinal data, the structural equation modeling approach of building latent growth models (LGMs) has become one of the commonly used statistical models. A subset of data is taken from the National Longitudinal Survey 97, prepared by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Four waves of mother monitoring reported by youth in the year 1997 to the year 2000 are used for the analysis. A total of 2675 adult respondents are used in our analysis. Mother monitoring scores reported by youth are used as a dependent variable. There are 52% male and 48% female in the data. Different linear, quadratic, autoregressive and moving average LGMs with gender as a covariate are used and compared to study the effects of mother monitoring over a 4 year period of time. It is found mom monitoring is increasing slowly over the period of time. An association was found between slop and intercept of fitted latent growth model and female has a significant effect on slop but not on the intercept of the fitted growth model. Five fit indices Chi-square, GFI, CFI, RMSEA, and AIC are used to select an appropriate model.
