Published: February 2020

AbstractBackground/Aims: The aim of this study was to determine the knowledge level of nursing department students about kangaroo care (KC). Method: The sample of the descriptive research was composed of 572 students. The data were collected through a questionnaire developed by the researchers. Number, frequency, median, minimum and maximum values, Mann Whitney U test and Kruskal Wallis test were used to evaluate the data. Results: 83.7% of the students were female and 49.7% were in the 22-24 age group. 65.2% of the students stated that they did not know about KC. 72.2% of those who have knowledge have received the information during their education and 54.6% have stated that the information they have received is insufficient. When the average scores of students' knowledge about BP are examined; KC application information median scores 8.0; The median scores of information on newborn benefits of KC are 6.0; The median scores of the information about the parent's benefits are 8.0; The median scores of the information on parental characteristics for KC are calculated as 5.0 and the total information score for the KC is 28.0. Conclusion: It was determined that the level of knowledge of the nursing students about KC was moderate. In line with the results, it has been recommended to include these issues within the scope of clinical education as well as theoretical training in order to improve the knowledge and awareness of students about KC practice and to ensure their transfer to practice.

Multiclass Response Feature Selection and Cancer Tumour Classification With Support Vector Machine
Authors: Banjoko A. W. , Yahya W. B. , Garba M. K. 
Published: February 2020

Background & Aim: In this study, efficient Support Vector Machine (SVM) algorithm for feature selection and classification of multi-category tumour classes of biological samples using gene expression profiles was proposed.
Methods: Feature selection interface of the algorithm employed the F-statistic of the ANOVA–like testing scheme at some chosen family-wise-error-rate which ensured efficient detection of false-positive genes. The selected gene subsets using the above method were further screened for optimality using the Misclassification Error Rates yielded by each of them and their combinations in a sequential selection manner. In a 10-fold cross-validation, the optimal values of the SVM parameters with appropriate kernel were determined for tissue sample classification using one-versus-all approach. The entire data matrix was randomly partitioned into 95% training set to train the SVM classifier and 5% test set to evaluate the predictive performance of the classifier over 1,000 Monte-Carlo cross-validation runs. Published microarray breast cancer dataset with five clinical endpoints was employed to validate the results from the simulation studies.
Results: Results from Monte-Carlo study showed excellent performance of the SVM classifier with higher prediction accuracy of the tissue samples based on the few gene biomarkers selected by the proposed feature selection method.
Conclusion: SVM could be considered as a classification of multi-category tumour classes of biological
Use of Bayesian Mixture Models in Analyzing Heterogeneous Survival Data: A Simulation Study
Authors: Ahmadi Naser , Shirazi Saeed , Baziyad Hamed 
Published: February 2020

Background and Aim: One of the statistical methods used to analyze the time-to-event medical data is survival analysis. In survival models, the response variable is time to the occurrence of an event. The main characteristic of survival data is the existence of censored data. When we have the distribution of survival time, we can use parametric methods. Among the important and popular distributions that can be used, we can mention the Weibull distribution. If the data derives from a heterogeneous population, simple parametric models (such as Weibull) would not fit the data appropriately. One of the methods which have been introduced to overcome this problem is the use of mixture models.

Methods: To assess the validity of the two-component Weibull mixture model, we use a simulation method on heterogeneous survival data. For this purpose, data with different sample sizes were produced in a batch of 1000. Then, the validity of the model is checked using root mean square error (RMSE) criterion

Results: It is obtained that increasing the sample size would decrease the RMSE in the parameters. However the maximum observed RMSE in all the parameters was negligible.

Conclusion: The Bayesian Weibull mixture model was a proper fit for the heterogeneous survival data
Quantifying the Relationship between Adaptive Traits and Agro-climatic Conditions
Authors: Gebre Mehari 
Published: February 2020

Background & Aim: Durum wheat is an economically important and regularly eaten food for billions of people in the world. In the International Center for Agriculture Research in the Dry Areas (ICARDA), genbanks are using Focused Identification of the Germplasm Strategy (FIGS) to find out and quantify relationships between agro-climatic conditions and the presence of specific traits. Hence, the study is aimed to investigate the predictive value of various types of long-term agro-climatic variables on the future values of different traits.
Method: Ordinary multiple linear regression with stepwise variable selection method on the complete data set, and multiple linear regression models with predictors selected by penalized methods with mean square error cross-validation as a model selection criterion, are used to analyze 238 durum wheat landraces. Each of the models are fitted on Days to Heading and Days to Maturity response variables with 57 predictor variables, independently. Ordinary least square and weighted least square estimation methods were used.
Result: Findings implied that there is high multicollinearity among the predictor variables. It is found that there are some predictors which affect positively and some others affect negatively for both Days to Heading and Days to Maturity using both ordinary and shrinkage based models. It is revealed that the prediction from the lasso based model is not that much reasonable. Furthermore, for the Days to Heading showed that there seems better prediction as their predicted value increase continuously as a function of the actual values though there is considerable variability.
Conclusion: In conclusion, inferences and predictions by the ordinary MLR models are not trusted due to the presence of multicollinearity, and violation of some model assumptions. However, predictions using the models with predictors selected by the shrinkage methods may be better as the effects of the variability on these methods are minimal. Moreover, the WLS methods might give more sensible predictions than the OLS estimation methods. Better predictions were found on the Days to Heading.

Introduction: HIV infection is one of the main public health problems in the world. This study aimed to assess the knowledge and attitudes of young couples married in the city of Shiraz, and eventually suggest an Operational Program for the prevention of HIV in Iran.
Method: the data collection tool was a questionnaire consisted of 32 questions on transmission and prevention of HIV infection. The young couples were selected through simple random sampling, and the sample size was

The data analysis was performed using SPSS 19 software.

Results: Of the total of 400 cases, 201 (50.25%) were male and 199 (49.75%) were female. The mean age of the couples was 25.96±5.95 years. The most frequent correct answer was related to the knowledge of transmission through sharing needles among drug users (87.4%). Regarding attitude, 94.6% of the subjects agreed with the struggle against HIV. Examining the relationship between knowledge and age showed that they had a significant relationship (P=0.002). There was also a significant relationship between attitude and gender (P=0.004).
Conclusion: One of the important ways to stop the epidemic and prevent the incidence of new cases of HIV is educating people at an early age.

Theological Review of Emotional Intelligence for Educators
Authors: Purnomo Novia 
Published: February 2020

<p class="abstracttextDILIGENTIA">Being a teacher is a rewarding yet challenging and demanding profession. Educators have complex roles because beside teaching knowledge, they must develop students’ skills (creativity, critical thinking, communication, and collaboration), attitudes, and values for work, citizenship, and life in the 21st century. In the 21st century, educators who are expected to be role models for students must develop their emotional skills. Different studies have showed that the key to success is not just cognitive intelligence, rather 80% of success in life depends on emotional intelligence.<a title="" href="#_ftn1">[1]</a> Emotional intelligence is evaluated as an important, valuable, and potential personal resource for coping with threats, challenges, and organizational setting related to tasks where emotional skill is required for successful performance such as school teaching. 4 competencies of emotional intelligence are self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, and relationship management. This paper aims at analyzing whether emotional intelligence is coherent to biblical concepts. Discussion will be started by analyzing presuppositions of emotional intelligence which have been used by scholars, then reviewing and reconstructing emotional intelligence theologically to keep it aligned with biblical truth.</p>

Glenohumeral Osteoarthritis: The Role for Orthobiologic Therapies
Authors: Rossi Luciano A. , Piuzzi Nicolás S. , Shapiro Shane A. 
Published: February 2020

» The glenohumeral (GH) joint ranks third on the list of the large joints that are most commonly affected by osteoarthritis, after the knee and the hip.» General nonsurgical modalities, including changes in daily activities, physical therapy, pharmacotherapy, and corticosteroid injections, constitute the mainstay of treatment. Most of these options, however, have shown moderate and short-term effectiveness.» Arthroplasty techniques have proven to be successful for elderly patients. Nevertheless, replacement options are not optimal for younger patients because their functional demands are higher and prostheses have a finite life span.» This has led to the search for new nonoperative treatment options to target this subgroup of patients. It has been suggested that orthobiologic therapies, including platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and cell therapies, present great promise and opportunity for the treatment of GH osteoarthritis.» Despite the promising results that have been shown by cell therapies and PRP for treating degenerative joint conditions, additional studies are needed to provide more definitive conclusions.
