Investigation of the relationship between children's prosocial behaviour and self-regulation skills
Authors: Kaya İsa 
Published: October 2020

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between children's prosocial behavior and self-regulation skills. To collect the data of the study, demographic information form developed by the researcher was used for the demographic information of children, the prosocial behavior sub-dimension of the social behavior scale was used for the prosocial behavior, and the self-regulation skills scale was used for the self-regulation skills of the children. The collected data were analyzed by independent sample t-test, Pearsonâ€™s product moment correlation analysis and simple linear regression analysis in a computer package software. As a result of the research, while the self-regulation and prosocial behaviors of children differed according to gender and age of children, the situation of the children whether they have siblings and duration of the pre-school education did not make any significant difference. According to these results, girls' self-regulation and prosocial behavior scores were higher than that of boys and 6 years of age childrenâ€™s scores were higher than that of 5 years of age children. While there was a moderate positive significant relationship between self-regulation skills and prosocial behavior, it was concluded that the prosocial behavior of children predicted self-regulation skills at the level of 11%.

Academic capitalism and faculty burnout: evidence from the United Arab Emirates
Authors: Al Serhan Omar , Houjeir Roudaina 
Published: October 2020

In this paper, we investigate the factors that affect burnout of faculty, which we refer to as “academic fatigue”, in the context of the business professors in the highly competitive and globalized market of the United Arab Emirates, which, unlike the United States, does not offer tenure to professors. It is the first paper to addresses an increasingly important area in the higher education sector in the UAE where increasing competition between institutions, the financial pressure on universities, and government funding cuts are having a knockdown effect on all parts of the higher education supply chain, including faculty. Data was collected from business faculty in a major UAE public university using a quantitative survey that designed based on Maslach Burnout Inventory MBI Educators Survey (MBI-ES). We find that while purely aspects of financial compensation (including satisfaction with pay, pay for performance sensitivity, and merit pay allocation) are not significantly related to faculty burnout, faculty satisfaction with the research and teaching workload reduces burnout significantly. Our results do not support the academic capitalism paradigm in a strict financial sense, but rather in a holistic sense that incorporates non-financial compensation.

Developing capabilities for sustainability in family owned SMEs: An emerging market scenario
Authors: Akume Ben , Iguisi Osarumwense 
Published: October 2020

The academic discourse on ‘family’ perpetuity in family-owned businesses (FOB) is still burgeoning. Current findings suggest the importance of family control and family inter-generational sustainability in family-owned businesses. Though literature in family perpetuity and sustainability is well documented from the advanced economies, there is a scarcity of insights from emerging markets where this research relates. The study, therefore, sought to investigate, understand and interpret the underlying drivers of sustainability in small and medium family businesses using the stewardship theory paradigm and relying on evidence from an emerging market economy the Nigerian family business environment. A qualitative method with 41 in-depth interviews involving owners and managers of family-owned small and medium businesses was conducted. The study empirically shows that there is an interrelationship between family structure and business sustainability, hence the practice of polygamy was found to be inimical to family business success and sustainability. The study also showed that the element of spirituality arising from the ideals and values of the owning family is a significant factor for ensuring family wellbeing and business sustainability, and founding owner characteristics (industry experience) and impacts positively on the business performance and continuity. The study confirmed that the stewardship of non-family member employees within the business is provisional stewardship as non-family members rely on other incentives from the owning family members to behave as stewards. Building on the stewardship theory, the paper develops a model of sustainability for small and medium family businesses. The study contributes to the theoretical literature on stewardship and family business sustainability
AVALIAÇÃO DA CONTAMINAÇÃO POR PESTICIDAS NOS SEDIMENTO DO RIO FORMOSO NO ESTADO DO TOCANTINS

Published: October 2020

RESUMO
Considerando o aumento da produção agrícola do Tocantins e o aumento no uso de pesticidas para esta produção, foram investigados os níveis de resíduos de pesticidas em amostras de sedimento do Rio Formoso, no estado do Tocantins. Analisou-se a presença de três pesticidas da classe dos carbamatos (carbaril, carbofurano e propoxur) por UHPLC-MS/MS, nos períodos de abril/2018 e julho/2019. As coletas foram realizadas as margens deste rio, na área de influência do projeto agrícola de Formoso do Araguaia – TO. Não foram encontrados os princípios ativos nas amostras de sedimento, o que pode ser entendido em função de algumas características físico químicas dos pesticidas estudados. Utilizando o método GOSS, os pesticidas estudados apresentaram características de rápida degradação no sedimento e com baixo potencial de contaminação associado ao sedimento. Foram analisadas, também, as características físico-químicas das amostras de sedimento coletadas, que justificam essa não quantificação desses três princípios ativos, nesse compartimento ambiental. Ainda que nenhum dos princípios ativos tenham sido encontrados, não se pode dizer que estes não estejam presentes em outros compartimentos, já que apresentam alto potencial de contaminação de água subterrânea, pelo método GUS e EPA.

Abstract
Background: Globally, maternal morbidity and mortality a major public health challenge. Uterine rupture is a life-threatening obstetrical emergency with life-threatening complications for both the mother and her infant. In developing countries, it is the leading cause of maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. Therefore, this systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to assess the incidence of uterine rupture and its associated factors among mothers managed for obstetric cases in Ethiopia.Method: for this review, we used the standard PRISMA checklist guideline. Different online databases were used for the review: PubMed, Google Scholar, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, HINARI, WHO Afro Library Databases, and African Online Journals. Based on the adapted PICO principles, different search terms were applied to achieve and access all the essential articles. This search included all published and unpublished observational studies written only in English language and conducted in Ethiopia. Microsoft Excel 16 was used for data entrance, and Stata version 11.0 (Stata Corporation, College Station, Texas, USA) used for data analysis.Result: A total of 21 studies with 33,303 mothers managed for obstetric cases were included. The pooled incidence of uterine rupture among mothers managed for obstetric cases in Ethiopia was 3.25% (95%CI: 2.6–3.89, I2=97.4%, P<0.001). Rural residency (adjusted odds ratio (AOR):5.44; 95% confidence interval (CI): 95%CI: 3.17–9.34, I2 =59.5%, P=0.03), grand multiparty (AOR = 2.38; 95%CI: 1.32–4.29, I2=0.0%, p=0.002), not having antenatal care (AOR =4.05(; 95% CI: 1.90–8.64 I2=89.4%, P<0.001), having previous cesarean section scar (AOR =7.10; 95% CI: 5.40–9.34, I2=26.3%, P=0.254), having Prolonged labour (AOR=6.71; 95%CI: 4.04–11.15, I2=84.6%, P<0.001), having obstructed labour (AOR=7.22; 95%CI: 2.86–18.28, I2=97.4%, P<0.001), no partograph utilization for labour monitoring (AOR=3.43; 95%CI: 1.62–7.29, I2=66.6%, P=0.05) were the determinant factors for the incidence of uterine rupture in Ethiopia.Conclusion: This systematic review and meta-analysis showed that the incidence of uterine rupture was high in Ethiopia. Being from the rural area, prolonged labour, having cesarean section scar, not using partograph for labour monitoring, not having ante natal care, and obstructed labour increased the risk of uterine rupture.
Proteasome inhibitors counteract the effect of cisplatin in an HPV-positive tonsil squamous cell carcinoma in vitro

Published: October 2020

Abstract
Background A rapid increase in human papilloma virus (HPV)-positive oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) is a global trend. Although HPV-positive patients have a more favorable prognosis, distant metastases occur, warranting new, systemic treatment options. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of combining proteasome or MDM2 inhibitors with cisplatin on an HPV-positive oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma cell line (LU-HNSCC-26).Methods The LU-HNSCC-26 cells were treated with proteasome inhibitor (bortezomib, carfilzomib or ixazomib) or MDM2 inhibitor (RG7112) in combination with cisplatin. Combinatorial effects were analyzed by isobolograms. Protein expression was investigated by Western blotting and cell cycle phase distribution by flow cytometry. Results There was no synergy between the substances and cisplatin. All proteasome inhibitors displayed antagonistic effects while the MDM2 inhibitor was additive in combination with cisplatin. The expression of p53 was only marginally affected and apoptosis was not detected. The cell cycle progression was halted in G0/G1 with all inhibitors and in S phase with cisplatin. The expression of p21 increased by bortezomib or carfilzomib, ixazomib increased p21 in combination with cisplatin while RG7112 did not affect p21. There was no effect on ERCC1 with any of the substances.Conclusions In the investigated HPV16-positive OPSCC cell line, proteasome inhibition decreased the effect of cisplatin. A possible mechanism for this includes low effects on p53 expression with concomitant increase in p21 expression and blocking of cell cycle progression in G0/G1 with preserved DNA damage repair. The combination of proteasome inhibition with ordinary cytotoxic treatment for HPV-positive OPSCC patients is thus questionable, and clinical trials should be preceded by thorough testing in adequate models.

Abstract
Background: To date, little is known about virulence characteristics of pyogenic liver abscess (PLA) causing multidrug resistant (MDR) Klebsiella pneumoniae (K. pneumoniae). It may be that these strains are rare. The aim of this study was to analyze the virulence characteristics and molecular epidemiology of 12 MDR strains from 163 PLA cases in a tertiary teaching hospital from the perspective of clinical characteristics, virulence phenotypes and genotypes.Results: The virulence phenotypes of the 12 PLA-causing MDR K. pneumoniae were similar or even more obvious than those of typical hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae control strains according to the results of growth curves, string test, capsular quantification, serum killing test, biofilm formation assay, and infection model. These MDR strains were mainly non-K1/K2 serotypes and carried multiple virulence genes. Multilocus sequence typing (MLST) illustrated that the MDR strains were categorized into nine sequence types.Conclusions: This study is the first analysis of the virulence factors in PLA-causing MDR strains. Our data exhibited the coexistence of hypervirulence and multidrug resistance in PLA-causing MDR K. pneumoniae strains, and the clones of those PLA-causing MDR strains were diverse and scattered. The study was firstly found one ST11 carbapenem-resistant hypervirulent strain in PLA.
