Published: May 2022

"Background: Chronic Diseases (CD) such as diabetes, musculoskeletal disorders, cardiovascular diseases, neurological disorders, and cancers increase with age and place a burden on individuals and healthcare systems, and more they are associated with a lower Quality of Life (QoL) in the elderly. CD conditions suggested improvements of self-care investigations switching research perspectives from medication or dietary adherence, biological exams, or symptoms management to maintaining health through treatment adherence and health-promoting practices. Objective: Aim of the present study was to evaluate the health management of chronic disease, analyzing the effectiveness of self-care and the emotional dimensions (anxiety, stress, depression). Materials and Methods: We conducted an observational study on 132 outpatient patients aged 18 to 75 years (mean age 52.6 years, SD ± 12.4) diagnosed with CD; 57,5% of the sample were females. The participants were enrolled at the Clinical Medicine Division of S. Salvatore Hospital in L’Aquila, ASL1 Abruzzo (IT). The psychological battery was composed of three standardized self-assessment measured emotional traits (DASS-21), QoL (WHOQOL-26), and Self-Care (SC-CII). Participants were divided into 2 groups based on CD as follows: a) cardiovascular disease (ex. cardiological disease) (CVD) group was composed of 68 patients (51.5%), b) other disease group (ex. disorders of the locomotor, gastrointestinal, and urogenital systems) (OD) was composed of 64 patients (48.5%). Results: Descriptive analyses based on sociodemographic and clinical characteristics showed no difference among all the variables (gender, education, marital status, occupation, and timing diagnosis). One-way ANOVA was performed comparing the emotional dimensions for both CVD/OD groups. Statistical analysis showed significant difference in the OD group which showed greater signs of anxiety (p=0.029), depression (p=0.007), and stress (p=0.013), than the CVD group. Then, we performed Pearson’s correlation to compare the QoL with the ability to self-care index. The results highlighted a significant correlation between self-care maintenance, self-efficacy, and QoL. Discussion and Conclusion: Our results show that, among CDs, patients with gastrointestinal, locomotor, and urogenital diseases appear to suffer more than patients with cardiovascular disease. The QoL is compromised in the maintenance of physical and mental health, in social relationships and, in self-efficacy index; the study highlights those actions could be planned for a person-centered approach with the aim of planning a better health outcome in CDs to progressively involve patients in overall self-care."
VERIFICATION OF PSYCHOMETRIC PROPERTIES OF THE INSOMNIA TYPE QUESTIONNAIRE (ITQ) IN THE CZECH POPULATION
Authors: Dacerova Veronika Ondrackova , Bartosova Katerina , Vesela Veronika
Published: May 2022

"Insomnia is one of the second most common mental disorders and is one of the primary risk factors for developing depression. The global prevalence of insomnia symptoms ranges from 30-35% and the course of the disease is often chronic. Clinically significant insomnia is reported by 10–23% of college students. Sleep deprivation among college students has been associated with increased alcohol consumption, a higher incidence of somatic illness, risky sexual behavior, and traffic accidents. Researchers have identified significant heterogeneity in the clinical and biomarker characteristics of insomnia leading to subtypes without sufficient validity. The Dutch Insomnia Type Questionnaire (Blanken et al., 2019) aims to identify robust subtypes and thus reduce heterogeneity among insomnia. The aim of our research is to adapt the Insomnia Type Questionnaire into the Czech sociocultural environment and verification of its psychometric characteristics and mapping of subtypes of insomnia. The identification of insomnia subtypes is a potential benefit for clinical practice, as it could allow the selection of high-risk individuals for early preventive intervention. Reducing previously unrecognized insomnia heterogeneity through subtyping can then help elucidate the mechanisms of insomnia and the development of personalized insomnia treatment."
DEVELOPMENT OF READING LITERACY IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE AND ATTENTION DEFICIT AND HYPERACTIVITY DISORDER CHILDREN
Authors: Hvozdíková Silvia , Stranovská Eva
Published: May 2022

"The main purpose of the article is to discuss how children with Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) develop reading literacy in a foreign language. Usually, foreign language methodologies and instruction in foreign language education are specifically designed for the majority of learners who have the capacities and abilities to comprehend a foreign language and learn it. The majority also masters competencies necessary for reading comprehension enhancement. However, there are learners with neurodiversity who need special attention when acquiring a foreign language. In the real school settings, very little attention is devoted to such learners. This study stands on the presumption that individual differences are a natural part of foreign language education and every single individual has specific desires and needs when foreign language learning is concerned. ADHD foreign language learners are defined as having low levels of attention, low communication skills, low literacy, and difficulties to concentrate (Hawkins, Gathercole, Astle, 2016). The research was designed as a case study of an 11 years-old English language learner diagnosed with ADHD. The article presents selected data gained from a research project that took two years of examination. Specifically, it emphasises the ability of the selected ADHD learner to devote his attention to reading in a foreign language at the English language lessons after the intervention was introduced. The first part of the article defines characteristics of ADHD learners from a neurological and psychological points of view. Then the approach we selected for the intervention was a specifically designed set of strategies grounded in the strategies of drama games, multisensory approach to teaching foreign language and Total Physical Response (TPR), all characterised as non-traditional approaches to foreign language instruction. The second part of the article presents selected research data. The case study research was conducted in an average size public school in the south of Slovakia. Based on the results we tend to have strong conviction that non-traditional classroom management together with the selected intervention approach introduced in the research study stimulated higher interest of the selected learner to read and respond to the text interactively. The tools of Grammar Test, Observation and Semi-structured interview also served to investigate the selected variables. The object of research was carefully selected and all the research data were kept fully confidential."
DEPRESSIVE SYMPTOMS IN EARLY-MARRIED WOMEN: THE EFFECT OF SOCIAL SUPPORT AND MARITAL POWER
Authors: Cevheroğlu Büşra Aslan
Published: May 2022

"Child marriage or early marriage is defined as the type of marriage performed before the girl is physically, physiologically, and psychologically ready to shoulder the responsibilities of marriage and childbearing. Turkish Population and Health Survey in 2018 demonstrated that 21% of women married before the age of 18, while 4% of them married before the age of 15. As can be observed from the statistics, early marriage is considered to be a serious problem, especially for girls in Turkey. Therefore, understanding the effects of early marriage on women seems to be an essential step to prevent young girls from getting married at an early age. Children are forced to take the adult roles before they are ready and have no control over their future; this situation paves the way for psychological problems such as depression. The variables that may predict depressive symptoms in early-married women were examined based on the relevant literature. The aim of the present study is to examine the mediator role of perceived power in the relationship between social support and depressive symptoms in early-married women. The study sample consists of 97 women (between the ages of 19-30) who got married before the age of 18. The participants were given Demographic Information Form and The Multidimensional Scale of Social support, Couple Power Scale, and Depression subscale of Brief Symptom Inventory. In model test results of the analysis, perceived power mediates the relationship between social support and depression in early-married women. According to the results, women who have more social support feel more power in the marital relationship, which in turn results with less depressive symptoms. These findings of the current study suggest that social support and perceived power in a marital relationship play a significant role in depressive symptoms of early-married women. Along with the further studies, this study may help improve treatment strategies, which focus on social support and marital power for early-married women who present depressive symptoms."
CLINICAL ASSESSMENT IN A PROFESSIONAL SETTING: ARE THERE IMPLICATIONS FOR SELF-REPORTS OF PSYCHOPATHOLOGY?
Authors: Gonzalez Bárbara , Novo Rosa , Afonso Maria João
Published: May 2022

"In the field of psychological assessment, response biases pose a great problem, and can lead to misleading decisions, with negative impact regardless of the context. Both the underreport of personality characteristics and psychopathological symptoms and the overreport of problems and symptoms are current threats to this field. The clinical context is one on which both response attitudes occur. The clinical-organizational context (where clinical psychology services are provided in the individuals´ professional setting) is very specific, with particularities that have hardly been studied, so little is known about underreporting and overreporting in this type of clinical assessment. This study intends to explore and compare two contexts, clinical and clinical-organizational, in response attitudes and their potential implications on the report of psychopathology. Specifically, this study has three aims: to identify if there are differences between individuals of the two contexts in higher order psychopathology indicators and specific clinical problems; if these differences would be due to response attitudes (i.e., tendency to overreporting and to underreporting), and which are the best scales to differentiate individuals doing overreporting and underreporting in both samples. A total of 516 participants, grouped in two samples, Clinical (n = 277; Mage 41.50, SD 11.54), and Clinical-Organizational (n = 239; Mage 42.92, SD 9.16) were assessed with the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 - Restructured Form (MMPI-2-RF) Validity, Higher-Order and Restructured Clinical scales. The MANOVAS showed significant differences between the two samples in the composite of underreport scales, overreport scales, Higher-Order scales, and Clinical scales, with the clinical-organizational sample having higher underreport levels than the clinical sample, and lower overreport levels, as well as lower symptomology and clinical problems. The correlations pattern between the different sets of scales supports the conclusion that the response attitudes significantly impact the report of psychopathology. The F-r and Fp-r overreport scales, and the K-r underreport scale are the best ones in differentiating the two samples. The results suggest that the professional setting may influence the disclosure of psychological difficulties and problems, thus having impact on psychological assessment."
WHAT CHARACTERIZES THOSE WHO ARE WILLING TO PROVIDE ONLINE COUNSELING?
Authors: Alt Dorit , Boniel-Nissim Meyran
Published: May 2022

"The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the need for online counseling to preserve therapeutic processes that have begun face to face and to provide service to others in need during lockdowns. Previous studies have already indicated the benefits and effectiveness of online counseling. However, there is a lack of research concerning the therapist's characteristics who is the best fit to conduct online counseling. Therefore, this study is focused on several precursors of openness to provide online counseling: preference to communicate emotions online, identification of emotional expressiveness advantages in providing online counseling, innovative behavior, creativity, and future problem-solving thinking skills. The question at focus is which constructs would be found contributive to students’ openness to provide online counseling. The sample was 277 undergraduate students (future counselors) who filled out questionnaires. Data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling. Our findings pointed to the centrality of students’ preference to communicate their emotions online in explaining their openness to conducting online counseling. This study might help encourage students’ openness towards providing online counseling. In addition, the current investigation may help pinpoint the adjustments curriculum designers should address to better reflect the intensive changes within the counseling field that necessitate transferring face-to-face skills to online settings."
UNDERSTANDING METAPHORS: GETTING STARTED WITH TCM JUNIOR
Authors: Figueira Ana Paula Couceiro , Santos Cátia
Published: May 2022

"Our purpose is to present the first results of the application of a resource to analyze the ability to understand metaphors, with a group of 36 Portuguese children, from 4 to 6 years old. The instrument is the adaptation to European Portuguese of the TCM Junior, a metaphor comprehension test for children, from 4 to 6 years old, of Italian origin, which exists in circulation and with standardized data. At the moment, the material used is properly adapted for the Portuguese population, having followed all the rules of linguistic and cultural adaptation, and it is in the application phase, with a view to its measurement and loyalty, by meeting normative data. However, according to the tests carried out, the resource seems to us to have great potential: it is well accepted by children, it is discriminatory, within and between ages, the averages obtained are close to those of Italian counterparts, thus, the promising results are predictors a valid and necessary resource for the national context. The inexistence of adapted and available resources for European Portuguese on this subject is a fact. Moving forward with this task, a necessary and urgent task was looming, with guarantees of construct, theoretical and even content validity, based on the evidence of the original authors. We will also try, although briefly and not completely, for obvious reasons, to account for the instrument's architecture. We also consider, given its characteristics and evidence, and even as an initial project, that the resource in question can and should work as intervention material in terms of promoting the awareness of figurative and metaphorical language, it can be used by psychologists and other educators."

Published: May 2022

"Professions with increased demands on personal qualities include teachers and managers. The aim of the contribution was to explore professional and gender differences in personality among managers and students of teaching disciplines. The sample consisted of 585 participants (34.9% of men; Mage=20,07, SD=1.848). Students of the University of Presov participated in the research in spring 2020; 27.5% students of teaching disciplines and 72.5% students of management. Personal qualities were explored by Dark Triad Questionnaire (Jones, Paulhus, 2014), which consists of three factors - Machiavellianism, narcissism, and psychopathy. Multivariate analysis of variance (gender, field of study, gender x field of study) was conducted to compare the factors of personality qualities. Using Pillai’s trace, there was significant effect of gender, V = .060, (F(3, 579) = 12.344, p < .001); field of study, V = .045, (F(3, 579) = 9.048, p < .001). There was no significant effect of interaction of gender x field of study V = .007, (F(3, 579) = 1.360, p = .254). The higher level of Machiavellianism, narcissism and psychopathy were found among men and among managers. The results point to the need to develop students' personality in professions where there are demands in terms of interpersonal relationships, as well as the need to include psychological tests in the entrance exams."

Published: May 2022

"The aim of this study was to investigate the direct and indirect effect of the Unplugged program on alcohol consumption (AC) as reported by schoolchildren a year after program implementation within a Solomon four group design. A randomized control trial using the Unplugged program was carried out among schoolchildren at 24 primary schools. Twelve schools were assigned to the experimental group (EG, n = 798, n = 401EG no pre-test, n = 397EG pre-test) while 12 schools were assigned to the control group (CG, n = 622, n = 298CG no pre-test, n = 333CG pre-test). The mean age of the schoolchildren was 13.5 years, SD = 0.59; 47.5% girls. The sample consisted of 1420 schoolchildren in total. The data collection was carried out immediately before implementing the program (T1, experimental and control group with a pre-test), immediately after implementing the program (T2) and a year after program implementation (T3). The consumption of alcohol during the last 30 days (Hibbel, Guttormsson, Ahlström, & Kraus, 2012) was dichotomized for the purposes of the statistical analysis. A serial mediation analysis was performed through the Hayes´ PROCESS tool in SPSS 25 (Model 6). The controlled variables in the serial mediation analysis were ACT2, pretest, and gender. The mediation effect was tested on 5000 samples by means of Bootstrapping. The direct effect of Unplugged on ACT3 was confirmed. The effect of Unplugged on ACT3 was serially mediated by meaningful participation in the community T3 and satisfaction with oneself T3. The results of this study have contributed to the effectiveness of the European school-based drug use prevention program Unplugged among Slovak schoolchildren."
ARAB YOUTHS’ EXPECTATIONS OF PARENTS AND PERCEPTIONS OF CHILD NEGLECT
Authors: Marey-Sarwan Ibtisam
Published: May 2022

"Neglect of children and youth by their parents severely affects children’s development. Unfortunately, literature on child neglect focuses on professional discourse while rarely examining the views of children and youth themselves. This lacuna is interwoven with the broader issue of children’s expectations of their parents, which are also scarcely studied. This study aims to gain a more nuanced understanding of youth life experiences, focusing on two related and complementary issues: their expectations of parents and their perceptions of child neglect. The study employed a qualitative paradigm focusing on the meanings and interpretation of social phenomena and social processes in context. Data were gathered via focus group discussions from a total of 31 youth, through purposive sampling according to age (13 and 14) and ethnic affiliation (Muslim Arabs in northern Israel), and thematically analyzed. The data analysis showed that youth expectations of their parents reflect their perceptions of neglect. Four themes arose: emotional wellbeing, responsibility and supervision, guidance and companionship, and providing material needs. The findings highlight the need to include voices representing diverse groups in the population, as part of context-informed perception in discourses of parenting and child neglect. These voices provide a platform for examining the complexity inherent in negotiating neglect in the unique context of youth, and the importance of recognizing their unique perceptions. The voices raised the importance of emotional and psychological needs for the youths’ wellbeing and development to a greater extent than material and physical needs."
PSYCHOSOCIAL IMPACT OF VIRTUAL NETWORKS ON UNIVERSITY STUDENTS
Authors: Matus Ericka , Matus Lorena
Published: May 2022

"Technology has modified all aspects of the lives of individuals, making it more comfortable, this is a great achievement of humanity, but it has also made us dependent beings. The use of electronic platforms, social networks, applications (App), artificial intelligence, virtual assistants, among others, represent unimaginable achievements just 50 years ago. Daily life requires a smartphone, since we are not able to orient ourselves geographically, remember a phone number, or any information that is needed since it is easy to take a photo, carry the schedule of activities, financial services through banking online, have the Covid-19 vaccination record, or check food options at a food service, because a QR reader is required. In addition to the daily technological dependence, we find the attitudes and emotional dependence in which preferences, tastes, photographs, music, virtual approach to family and friends, and much more, become an essential support, especially in the young generations. With this framework, the aim is to evaluate the psychosocial impact of virtual networks on university students in the Republic of Panama. For this, a measurement instrument was designed that was applied remotely through Google form ©. The Likert-type format allowed inferential statistical analyzes to guarantee the discrimination index of the items, the reliability of the instrument through Cronbach's Alpha, as well as the construct validity with the factorial analysis using the SPSS 24 © software. The results reveal that university students have a positive attitude towards virtual networks, which represent psychological and social support, which allows users an emotional protection that they use as a defense against the uncertainty of the day to day and about the near future. Thus, the psychosocial impact of virtual networks encourages emotional containment, in addition, they become social support when links are established with small close groups, regardless of their membership in extended groups. Another finding shows that not all the impact of virtual networks is positive, for example, it was discovered that sleep patterns are not healthy, in addition, the information they receive at night can generate anxiety, anguish and stress."
Bio Family 2.0: Can the American Child Welfare System Finally Find Permanency for 'Legal Orphans' with a Statute to Reinstate Parental Rights?
Authors: Schalick Meredith
Published: May 2022

The American child welfare system terminates parental rights for thousands of children each year even though adoptive families have not yet been identified for the children. Every year, there are more than 100,000 of these “legal orphans” waiting for new families. Given the lower rates of adoptions for children of color and older children, and the poor outcomes for most youth who age out of the foster care system, the American child welfare system must start to think differently about permanency options for children. This Article proposes a model statutory provision to reinstate parental rights under certain circumstances to give these “legal orphans” a second chance with their rehabilitated biological parents. Although several states have enacted reinstatement provisions, the criteria and processes for reinstating parental rights differ significantly among their statutory schemes. The model statute outlined in this Article uses child welfare data reported by each state to determine when and how reinstatement of parental rights should be evaluated by the courts.

Covering Symmetric Sets of the Boolean Cube by Affine Hyperplanes
Authors: S. Venkitesh
Published: May 2022

Alon and Füredi (European J. Combin., 1993) proved that any family of hyperplanes that covers every point of the Boolean cube $\{0,1\}^n$ except one must contain at least n hyperplanes.  We obtain two extensions of this result, in characteristic zero, for hyperplane covers of symmetric sets of the Boolean cube (subsets that are closed under permutations of coordinates), as well as for polynomial covers of weight-determined sets of strictly unimodal uniform (SU2) grids.

  As a central tool for solving our problems, we give a combinatorial characterization of (finite-degree) Zariski (Z-) closures of symmetric sets of the Boolean cube. In fact, we obtain a characterization that concerns, more generally, weight-determined sets of SU2 grids. However, in this generality, our characterization is not of the Z-closures but of a new variant of Z-closures defined exclusively for weight-determined sets, which coincides with the Z-closures in the Boolean cube setting, for symmetric sets. This characterization admits a linear time algorithm, and may also be of independent interest.  Indeed, as further applications, we (i) give an alternate proof of a lemma by Alon et al. (IEEE Trans. Inform. Theory, 1988), and (ii) characterize the certifying degrees of weight-determined sets.

  In the Boolean cube setting, our above characterization can also be derived using a result of Bernasconi and Egidi (Inf. Comput., 1999) that determines the affine Hilbert functions of symmetric sets. However, our proof is independent of this result, works for all SU2 grids, and could be regarded as being more combinatorial.

  We also introduce another new variant of Z-closures to understand better the difference between the hyperplane and polynomial covering problems over uniform grids. Finally, we conclude by introducing a third variant of our covering problems and conjecturing its solution in the Boolean cube setting.
Modeling of Radioprotective Activity of Substituted Triptamines
Authors: Mukhomorov Vladimir
Published: May 2022

A close relationship was established between the bioactivity of substituted tryptaminoes and electronic, geometric, and informational factors. It is shown that for bioactive and inactive chemical compounds there are different interrelationships of electronic information factors. That is, a structural shift was found in the relationships of molecular parameters for bioactive molecules and weakly active drugs.The presence of a structural break does not contradict statistical criteria. The optimal sizes of the substituents have been determined.
The Role of Multiple Large Shareholders in Dividend Payouts: Evidence from India
Authors: Suman Samridhi , Singh Shveta
Published: May 2022

This study examines the impact of multiple large shareholders (MLS) on a firm’s dividend payouts in a low-investor protection regime, India, where minority shareholders’ expropriation concerns are severe and firms have an incentive to build a capital market reputation. Therefore, we purport for the prevalence of the substitution hypothesis, whereby MLS cooperate in paying larger dividends to assuage expropriation concerns for reputation-building. The empirical analysis using non-financial firms with MLS listed on NIFTY 500 from 2009 to 2019 yields that both the controlling owner and MLS positively influence dividend payout intensity. Additional analyses also demonstrate that the positive effect of MLS is prominent in growing firms that undertake equity issuances and firms with lower board independence. We also find that firms make relatively lower payouts when an institutional investor is the second largest shareholder. Further, it is shown that MLS engage in greater dividend smoothing. Lastly, it is observed that dividends are more valuable for firms with higher MLS ownership. Altogether, these findings support the substitution hypothesis.
Does Absorptive Capacity Protect Shareholder Wealth in Times of Crisis? Evidence from the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Singh Amanjot
Published: May 2022

R&D capital increases firms’ ability to identify, absorb, and utilize new external information. Firms with absorptive capacity become resilient to external shocks while providing an opportunity to protect shareholder wealth during a crisis period. This study examines the role of firms’ absorptive capacity in protecting shareholder wealth around the COVID-19-induced stock market crisis. Our findings report that firms’ absorptive capacity is positively related to stock returns of US firms during the COVID-19 pandemic. This positive relationship exists irrespective of investor attention and is robust to the propensity-score-matching approach. Overall, the results imply that R&D capital makes firms resilient to external shocks.

Published: May 2022

Modern military equipment has a filter ventilation system, employment of which plays a vital role in survival of personnel when equipment enters the cloud of contaminated air with toxic and chemical warfare agents, bacteriological aerosols and hazardous chemicals used in the national economy.

The filter ventilation system cleans the air from chemical, biological, radiological agents and supplies it to the objects of collective protection in order to ventilate the premises, provide air to personnel, as well as create excess pressure that prevents external contaminated air due to leaks in enclosing structures objects.

The article presents an improved mathematical model of the functioning of filter ventilation systems in mobile premises under conditions of enemy fire. In contrast to the existing ones, it takes into account the dynamics of changes in the total area of leaks of mobile premises depending on the intensity of fire for effect and the time of their stay under fire. The results of the study of the dependence of the dynamics of changes in the total area of leaks of mobile premises depending on the intensity of the fire and the time spent under fire are highlighted.

Thus the offered model allows to receive values of indicators of safe stay of personnel in mobile premises and necessary productivity of filter ventilating installations under conditions of chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear incident.

As a direction of further research, modeling of personnel losses depending on the intensity of fire for effect and concentration of toxic substances in the air using simulation models can be used.

Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah ex post facto yang berarti penelitian setelah kejadian. Maka hal ini peran guru sangatlah penting. Guru harus membuat suasana proses pembelajaran menjadi menyenangkan dan kondusif agar siswa bisa tertarik untuk mempelajari matematika. Hal ini dapat diartikan bahwa pencapaian tujuan pembelajaran tergantung kepada bagaimana cara guru untuk menjadikan kondisi pembelajaran menjadi menyenangkan dan menarik. Jika guru sudah dapat menumbuhkan kemampuan awal siswa untuk belajar matematika maka hasil belajarnya akan tercapai sesuai dengan tujuan pembelajaran. Tetapi begitu juga sebaliknya jika hasil belajarnya rendah maka kemampuan awalnya cenderung tidak menyenangkan dan tidak menarik.
