Authors: Arns1 Jessica , Born Verena , Flöter Lukas , Hulsmans Nik , Forstmeier Simon
Published: February 2023

Obwohl die Exposition bei der Behandlung von Angststörungen und Posttraumatischen Belastungsstörungen zu den wirksamsten therapeutischen Interventionen zählt, wird sie vor allem bei älteren Patient:innen in der klinischen Praxis vergleichsweise selten angewendet. Ziel der Studie war es, mithilfe einer Online-Befragung von 88 Psychotherapeut:innen Faktoren zu identifizieren, die mit einer geringeren Anwendungswahrscheinlichkeit und -häufigkeit von Exposition zusammenhängen. Es ergab sich, dass verschiedene Therapeut:innenmerkmale wie eine negative Einstellung gegenüber der Durchführung und Wirksamkeit von Exposition, eine geringe Kompetenzerwartung und ein starkes Stresserleben während einer Exposition mit einer geringeren Anwendungswahrscheinlichkeit zusammenhingen. Zusätzlich war die Anwendungshäufigkeit in den höheren Altersgruppen deutlich geringer als bei jüngeren Patient:innen. Die Ergebnisse der Studie werfen wichtige praktische Implikationen für die Verbesserung der psychotherapeutischen Versorgung bei Angststörungen sowie posttraumatischen Belastungen im höheren Lebensalter auf.
Exploring Caodai Networks and Practices in France: From Individual Itineraries to Interlocked Relations
Authors: Jammes Jérémy
Published: February 2023

As a Vietnamese autochthonous religion, Cao Ðài was first meant to address Vietnamese people, who received the mission to spread out humanistic and salvationist messages all over the world. Cao Ðài expanded overseas, with few hundreds of them settled in France. Firstly, I will clarify the profile of few French sympathisers in colonial and postcolonial times. Secondly, I will examine ethnographic data collected in the two main Caodai temples of Vitry-sur-Seine and Alfortville from 1996 onwards. This extended fieldwork gave me the possibility to follow the membership logics, the different challenges and obstacles they face in terms of conversion and community life in the French context of religious freedom. The organization (or not) of spirit-medium séances, and the tactics of some Caodai missionaries will reveal some of the tensions between the pastoral and missionary dynamics of Cao Ðài in France.

Published: February 2023

In this study, it was aimed to investigate the piano lessons repertoire applied in the Music Education Departments based on the views of the teaching instructors. For this particular purpose, the qualitative method was utilized in the study and a case study in accordance with this method was used. The study group of the study consisted of 10 instructors who were assigned by the easily accessible sampling method and who conducted piano lessons from five different Music Education Departments. The data of the study were collected by using semi-structured interview technique, which is one of the interview technique types. As the data collection tool, a "piano lesson instructor interview form" developed by the researcher was utilized. The qualitative data obtained as a result of the interviews were analyzed using the content analysis technique in accordance with the descriptive analysis stages. In the light of the findings analyzed under eight themes in the study, it was concluded that the instructors considered various criteria for the students, repertoire and course while generating the repertoire they used in the piano lessons applied in the Music Education Departments; that they definitely considered the course achievements, chose the works that met the achievements as much as possible, and planned the course according to these achievements; that they included the works from each period and also the Turkish works in the repertoire they used in order for students to recognize each period, to have the necessary information about these periods, to apply the rendering styles of each period and to gain technical and musical achievements by recognizing the whole piano literature; that they included various etudes and exercise from different composers; that they failed to prefer the works of different genres such as atonal, impressionist and popular music from the contemporary period for various reasons; and that they encountered various problems while creating a repertoire and furthermore, the piano literature which had a wide range, should not be restricted to a common repertoire to be used in the Music Education Departments.
Individual-level solutions may support system-level change – if they are internalized as part of one’s social identity

Published: February 2023

System-level change is crucial for solving society’s most pressing problems. However, individual-level interventions may be useful for creating behavioral change before system- level change is in place and for increasing necessary public support for system-level solutions. Participating in individual-level solutions may increase support for system-level solutions–especially if the individual-level solutions are internalized as part of one’s social identity.
Literature searches in systematic reviews and meta-analyses: A review, evaluation, and recommendations
Authors: Harari Michael , Parola Heather R. , Hartwell Christopher J. , Riegelman Amy
Published: February 2023

The search strategy used in systematic reviews is an important consideration, as the comprehensiveness and representativeness of studies identified influences the quality of conclusions derived from the review. Despite the importance of this step, little in the way of best practice recommendations exist. In an effort to inform future reviews, we report the results of two studies. In Study 1, we outline a series of recommendations for designing comprehensive systematic literature searches. We review the search strategies used in 152 recent systematic reviews published in top applied psychology (including organizational psychology, counseling psychology, and management) journals and evaluate them against these criteria. In Study 2, we build on the findings of our review, carrying out an original meta-analysis, which we use as an opportunity to empirically demonstrate effects of database selection and inclusion of a complementary search protocol on search outcomes. Our results suggest that database selection could have a large effect on conclusions from reviews. Implications and recommendations for carrying out comprehensive literature reviews are described.
Dissociation of the sources of the risk-seeking bias in motor decision-making based on the subjective-objective relationship in risk-attitudes
Authors: Onagawa Ryoji , Kudo Kazutoshi , Watanabe Katsumi
Published: February 2023

The process of motor planning involves considering the movement variability and value of the motor outcome. Previous studies have shown that individuals tend to exhibit a consistent risk-seeking bias when performing a temporal aiming task, which involves aiming to respond as closely as possible to a reference time without any delay. However, it is unclear whether this bias is caused by a subjective attempt to take risks or by overestimating motor accuracy. Here, we examined changes in participants’ aiming points after they were instructed regarding subjective risk-attitudes. The results from four different task settings in Experiments 1, 2a, 2b, and 2c, consistently showed a good correspondence between participants’ objective and subjective risk-attitudes. However, in a free-choice situation where participants were instructed to maximize their scores, a robust risk-seeking bias was identified. Computational models suggested that the risk-seeking bias in the free-choice situation was linked to the Maximax strategy. Furthermore, Experiment 3 showed that the participants’ strategy selection in the free-choice situation was similar to the behavior when they were instructed to perform the Maximax strategy. Overall, our findings suggest that in motor planning under risk, humans process near-optimal computation regarding risk attitudes, but their strategic preferences can lead to risk-seeking biases.
AI in Behavioral Healthcare: A Clinician's Roadmap
Authors: Sadeh-Sharvit Shiri , Hollon Steven
Published: February 2023

Artificial intelligence (AI) offers unmet potential for mental health services but also presents new challenges for providers. As AI tools become more ubiquitous in our lives, there is a disconnect between clients’ interests and the adoption of AI in mental healthcare. AI algorithms are informed by expert knowledge, can process multiple data points quickly, and perform many automatic tasks. As such, they can complement the therapy provided by trained professionals and relieve much of the administrative burden healthcare workers experience. In this paper we offer a model for using AI in the daily practice of mental health providers. We discuss ways for clinicians to utilize the data and the services provided by AI to augment therapists’ decision making and maintain the interpersonal connection, while delegating other functions to automated services. We review how AI can augment and scale therapy in many parts of the clinician’s work, from initial screening and routine measurement-based care to digitally-enabled and blended interventions, as well as operational services. We review evidence related to responsible implementation of AI in clinical practice and suggest future research directions and implementation strategies for AI-augmentation.

Published: February 2023

1. CONTENTS (1) RESEARCH OBJECTIVES In this study, the necessity and the cost saving effect of preemptive land stockpiling were evaluated for road construction and land development projects..
(2) RESEARCH METHOD This study conducted a qualitative survey on the operation of land banks in Korea and an empirical analysis on the difference between the unit cost of land compensation and the change in land price of surrounding areas during project period. For 5 land development projects and 10 road construction projects, the actual land compensation cost expenditures were compared with the estimated costs assuming lump-sum compensation at the initial point of time.
(3) RESEARCH FINDINGS Since the correlation between the published price of land and the unit cost of land compensation, which are changing anually, was unclear in land development projects, the expendture patterns of purchasing land hardly justify the cost-saving effect of preemptive lump-sum compensation. However, in road construction projects, the annual variations in unit cost of land compensation showed similar patterns to the increase in published land price.
2. RESULTS The land stockpiling by land bank is a policy tool to promote public projects such as road construction and industrial complex development quickly by securing land in advance and saving costs. The result showed that, in 10 road construction projects, about 6.8% of land compensation costs can be reduced by assuming lump-sum land purchase in early stages by the Land Bank, while we cannot expect these cost-saving effects in land development projects. It seems that the lump-sum compensation method for stockpiling land is relatively effective in road construction projects, rather than in land development projects, considering the land price increase invoked by development projects. In land development projects, with a proper division of sub-areas to be purchased stepwise, even sequential compensation can be appropriate.
Evaluation of an Equine Nasogastric Intubation Model for Training Veterinary Students
Authors: Prutton Alison M. , Lenaghan Holly A. H. , Baillie Sarah
Published: February 2023

Simulation in veterinary education is an important means of providing a safe, welfare-friendly way for students to hone their skills prior to performing procedures on live animals. Students may not get many chances to practice passing a nasogastric tube and checking for reflux in live horses during clinical rotations and extramural studies. A low-cost equine nasogastric intubation model was created at the University of Surrey, allowing students to practice passing a tube and checking for reflux. Thirty-two equine veterinarians evaluated the model for realism and its potential usefulness in teaching. Veterinarians found the model to be realistic, supported its use as a teaching aid, and provided helpful feedback for possible improvements. In addition, 83 year-4 veterinary students rated their level of confidence before and after using the model for nine specific aspects of nasogastric intubation. Students showed significantly increased confidence levels in all nine aspects after using the model, and reported that they appreciated being able to practice the skill in a safe environment prior to performing it on a live horse. The results of this study suggest that both clinicians and students considered that this model has educational value, which supports its use for training veterinary students prior to clinical placements. The model provides an affordable, robust educational aid that can be used in clinical skills teaching, increases student confidence, and allows students to practice the skill repeatedly.
ІННОВАЦІЇ В ОСВІТІ: КОМПЕТЕНТНІСНИЙ ПІДХІД
Authors: Вакулова Ірина Василівна
Published: February 2023

У статті на основі компетентнісного підходу досліджено низку нормативних документів у галузі освіти на наявність інноваційного складника, а саме: стандарти вищої освіти за спеціальністю 035 «Філологія» бакалаврського та магістерського рівнів, Державний стандарт базової освіти, освітньо-професійні та робочі програми, концепцію Нової української школи, Національну рамку кваліфікацій тощо. Встановлено певну непослідовність тенденції впровадження інновацій в освіті через часткову відсутність інноваційного компонента в зазначених документах на деяких ланках освітньої системи. Обґрунтовано необхідність доопрацювання/ корекції зазначених документів у галузі освіти. Крім того, проведено короткий теоретичний екскурс щодо понять «інновація» та «компетентнісний підхід». Визначено ключове значення формування інноваційної людини. Поняттями, що формують методологічне підґрунтя реалізації компетентнісного підходу в освітній системі, названо компетенцію, компетентність та компетентнісний підхід. Зв’язок між поняттями криється в тому, що компетентність визначають як результат набуття компетенцій. Компетентність поєднує в собі соціально-комунікативні та професійні навички. З’ясовано, що перехід до компетентнісного підходу означає зміщення акценту з накопичування нормативно визначених знань, умінь і навичок на формування й розвиток здатності практично діяти. Аналіз міжнародних освітянських проєктів, спрямованих на оцінку інноваційної компетентності, свідчить про необхідність суттєвого підвищення якості підготовки фахівців в Україні. Роботодавці не задоволені рівнем фахової підготовки молодих спеціалістів та зазначають низький рівень їхніх практичних навичок. З’ясовано, що метою освітньо-професійної програми другого рівня вищої освіти є підготовка висококваліфікованих конкурентоспроможних фахівців, здатних до здійснення інновацій, тоді як на першому рівні вищої освіти інноваційність не передбачається. Аналіз окремих освітніх програм в Україні показав значні прогалини у сфері їх інноваційності. Визначено, що створення, освоєння та впровадження інновацій в освіті, наявність змін в освітній системі загалом залежать від загальної державної освітньої стратегії, спрямованої на інноватизацію освітньої галузі. З’ясовано, що, незважаючи на наявний потенціал вітчизняної освіти та інноваційне спрямування України на загальнодержавному рівні, є проблеми у процесі підготовки спеціалістів, а також непослідовність інноваційної стратегії.

Buttonhole Cannulation of Arteriovenous Fistulas: a Dialysis Nurse's Perspective
Authors: Bushey Peggy
Published: February 2023

End stage renal disease patients who choose a hemodialysis modality are burdened with the reality that their life is now tied to a dialysis machine between 3- 6 days/week. The impact on their medical, social and psychological well-being is dramatic. One of the biggest fears patients have expressed to us regarding hemodialysis is having to be “stuck with big needles” at each treatment. The average in-center hemodialysis patient is “stuck with large bore needles” 6 times/week or ~288 times/year barring any “missed sticks” or infiltrations. The home hemodialysis patient increases that number to ~10 x’s/week or ~500 times/yr. Understanding that the average person recoils from the thought of needles, and that ~25% of adults present with a real clinical diagnosis of trypanophobia or “needle phobia” [5], it seems only fitting that we seek out options that would reduce this burden.

Hydroxyapatite coating techniques for Titanium Dental Implants — an overview
Authors: Sharma Arati
Published: February 2023

Titanium and its alloys are the most commonly used materials for dental implants and hydroxyapatite is the most common bioactive material coated on titanium dental implants. Hydroxyapatite is from the ceramic class of biomaterials which has chemical and structural similarity with the biological apatite which forms the major inorganic portion of bone and tooth. It is not only bioactive, but also osteoconductive and non-toxic. The most interesting property of hydroxyapatite is its ability to interact with living bone tissue, forming strong bonds with the bone. Since the introduction of dental implants by Branemark in 1981, hydroxyapatite has gained attention as a preferred bioactive coating material for titanium dental implants and is still a hot topic of discussion. So, in this article an attempt has been made to give an overview of present techniques of hydroxyapatite coatings on titanium dental implants, including their advantages, disadvantages and limitations.

Published: February 2023

INTRODUCTION: educating children with verbal shouting is still standard. Social norms accept it as a strategy for disciplining children. Verbal violence will affect psychological conditions and impact the psychological development of children at a later stage. This study aims to analyze the relationship between sociodemographic factors and parental verbal abuse.

METHOD: The convenience sampling was used to select 225 participants. Data collection using sociodemographic instruments and verbal violence. Data analysis with chi-square test, simple logistic regression and multiple logistic regression.

RESULT: 82.7% (n=186) parents did not use verbal abuse and 17.3% (n=39) did verbal abuse. The incidence of parental verbal abuse was significantly related to the variables of family income, mother's occupation and ethnicity (p < 0.05). Odds Ratio (OR) 4.6, ethnicity from outside Java has five times the higher effect on verbal violence than ethnicity from Java after controlling for the mother's income and occupation variables.

CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATION: Sociodemography is a factor that can predict the incidence of parental verbal abuse. Community mental health nursing must give verbal abuse education to parent-to-be guidance classes in primary health centres, family welfare clinics or religion-based premarital courses.

Background and Objectives: Kidney transplantation is the safest way to treat chronic renal failure, but for many reasons many patients are reluctant to have a kidney transplant. Identifying these factors can facilitate the transplant process and improve the quality of life of patients undergoing dialysis. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the reasons for refusing kidney transplantation among Iranian patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis (PD). Methods: In this qualitative study, 18 patients with PD were selected from four provinces of Iran using a purposive sampling method. The data were collected by semi-structured interviews and the content were analyzed by a conventional content analysis. Results: Results led to the identification of three main categories: Difficult process, unacceptability of outcome, and familiarization with PD. According to patients, kidney transplantation is a long-term procedure that causes financial stress and physical and social problems and there is a risk of transplant rejection. On the other hand, patients were accustomed to performing PD and considered it a part of their life. Conclusion: Iranian patients undergoing PD have many reasons to refuse kidney transplantation. Full coverage of kidney transplants by the insurance organization, reduction of transplantation time, and provision of medical and psychological counseling can reduce these barriers to accepting kidney transplants by patients.

Published: February 2023

The article considers the hedging of marketing risks of the enterprise in the general economic understanding of the "hedging" tool as a set of management actions and decisions of the enterprise's management, aimed at limiting the risks of its activity to ensure sustainable competitiveness. It has been established that from the point of view of the marketing system of an individual enterprise, adverse economic consequences of events, which are understood as marketing risks, ultimately manifest as a complete or partial loss of competitiveness by the enterprise. The natural content of competitiveness has been studied, and a conceptual scheme of the process of forming the competitiveness of the company's products has been developed. The key characteristics-factors of the enterprise's competitiveness are considered in terms of their classification into separate groups: production and marketing. Emphasis is placed on the importance of further research into such components of these factors as "usefulness" and "customer preferences". The need to attract investment resources to improve the production group of factors for increasing the competitiveness of the enterprise is substantiated. An economic-mathematical model of linear programming is proposed for consideration in order to reasonably determine the list of measures that can ensure an increase in the sales volume and profit of the enterprise in the conditions of an actual shortage of necessary financial resources. It is outlined that the modern approach to hedging the enterprise's marketing risks should provide for the automatic inclusion of information about its possible risks in the everyday procedure of management decision-making. Attention was drawn to the fact that the management of potential threats to the enterprise should be carried out on a continuous basis: their assessment and analysis should be carried out regularly, and the set of measures to prevent threats should be improved. In addition, the article emphasizes the relevance of modern processes of convergence occurring in various spheres of social and economic-management activity, relevant fields of knowledge. As a result of the convergence, the emergence of scientific research conducted at the intersection of scientific disciplines, aimed at finding and solving complex interdisciplinary applied problems vital for ensuring the effectiveness of the practical activities of manufacturing enterprises, is relevant.

The article researches the development trends of the world automobile market in the post-covid period and formulates a strategic vision in the field of using marketing tools on this market. The presence of tendencies towards intensifying competition is outlined, which undermines the existing marketing strategies of brands and creates new opportunities for both existing car manufacturers and new brands. It was determined that the process of promoting brands on the automobile market is connected with the formation of consumer preferences, a change in the perception of the product, its attributes and communications. It has been established that the volume of production of passenger cars by regions of the world has slightly decreased due to the economic crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. U.S. auto plants produced about 6.3 million passenger cars in 2021, up 3.1% from 2020, despite persistent semiconductor shortages. China's passenger car production rises 7.1% to 20.7 million units in 2021 despite supply problems and power outages. The Top-10 car manufacturers as of 2021 have been analyzed. The World Car Group ranking in 2022 is dominated by Toyota, which is significantly ahead of its competitor Volkswagen Group. The third place is occupied by Hyundai-Kia with 4.9 million units sales (-10.5%) due to the loss of a certain market volume in Asia (-4.9%), North America (-11.9%) and Latin America (-23.6%), but with growth in Europe (+1 ,9). A modern approach to the segmentation of "luxury" class cars is considered. It was found that luxury sales margins doubled from 2016 to 2021, while mass market sales margins remained low over the same period. The changes in sales volume, income and operating profit of the leaders of the luxury car production market were studied. The usual five leaders in automotive "luxury", Rolls-Royce, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Bentley and Porsche, demonstrated another record financial result in terms of car sales. It is concluded that the balanced scorecard of brand sustainability is the best way to track all the above changes in the global automotive market and should be applied on a continuous basis to companies that manufacture cars.

In the course of the conducted research, it was determined that in modern conditions, during the rapid development of scientific and technical progress, the leading place in the economies of countries is given to innovative activity. The article is devoted to determining the essence and economic content of innovative activity as a factor of the country's economic development and a component that determines the competitive position of its enterprises on the domestic and international markets in the modern paradigm of economic development. It has been investigated that the dynamic development of the innovation system of a specific country, as well as the issue of its national security, cannot be achieved without the creation of an effective national innovation system, because today the modern socioeconomic development of each country must be based on the maximum use of the country's innovation potential, as well as the determination of its own innovation path development Activation of state regulation of innovative activities is a top priority for supporting innovative development, since only the state can ensure the effective development of innovations, science and technology. The state regulation of innovative activity in the world economy is described on the example of the leading countries of the world: USA, Japan, Switzerland and Sweden. and the reasons for the emergence of new ways of regulating innovative activity are also determined. It has been studied that the basis of the innovative development of these countries is the creation of revolutionary innovations, the modernization of already existing technologies, the expansion of the innovation infrastructure, the financing of innovative projects at all stages, and the promotion of the implementation of innovations. An optimization model of state regulation of innovative activities of enterprises in the world economy has been justified. It has been investigated that the process of creation and implementation of innovations is quite complex, although the maximization of innovation results worldwide requires the implementation of effective policies to maximize and optimize one's own innovation results.
