A Retrospective Chart Review: Adolescents with Borderline Personality Disorder, Borderline Personality Traits, and Controls
Authors: Jopling Ellen 
Published: May 2021

With an estimated lifetime prevalence as high as 5.9% in the general population, Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is a psychiatric disorder characterized by difficulties in interpersonal relationships, self-image, and affects, as well as marked impulsivity”1,2. The burden on the health care system is immense, with BPD patients accounting for 10-20% of the patients in mental health outpatient facilities and 15-40% in mental health inpatient facilities3. Further, while 75-80% of BPD patients attempt to commit suicide, 10% succeed; this mortality rate exceeds even that of anorexia nervosa which, with a weighted mortality rate of 5.1%, has often been considered to have the highest mortality rate of any mental disorder4,5,6. In order to provide treatment and to implement preventative measures, a risk profile as well as clinical features must be identified within the adolescent population. This is presently crucial, as the current criteria for BPD are not developmentally-focused, and as a result, criteria initially developed for the adult population are being applied in diagnoses of adolescents. A population of adolescents (N=80) between 16 and 19 years of age meeting DSM-5 criteria either for BPD traits (N=46) or for BPD (N=36) were included in a retrospective chart review; a control group consisting of N=30 mood and anxiety control subjects were included to allow for further comparisons. Complex significant differences were discovered between the three groups in the following areas: history of sexual abuse, suicidal ideation, internalizing/externalizing symptoms, interpersonal difficulties, impulsivity, pre-perinatal stress, bullying, substance abuse, anxiety disorders, disruptive disorders, and finally, learning disorders.
Clinician Choice of Direct Laryngoscopy vs Video Laryngoscopy for Emergency Airway Management
Authors: Petrie Casey 
Published: May 2021

Introduction: Emergency department (ED) and intensive care unit (ICU) teams are responsible for the care of a population which is especially vulnerable to conditions requiring immediate and decisive airway control. Our study aimed to determine if physicians performing emergency intubations will choose direct laryngoscopy or video laryngoscopy more frequently, and which intubator or intubation factors influenced the decision to choose direct versus video laryngoscopy.Methods: Emergency intubations occurring in hospital were recorded via an operator-completed survey following emergency intubations.Results: 51 cases were captured, 32 in the ICU, 16 in the ED, and 3 on regular wards. The direct laryngoscope was the first choice of device 32 times (63%) and the Glidescope videolaryngoscope 16 times (31%). A Glidescope was used to “rescue” failed direct intubations 8 times; a direct laryngoscope was used to rescue failed glidescope intubations twice. Intubators were more likely to choose the Glidescope for intubations which they predicted to be difficult. Both modalities were chosen across all levels of training and every specialty, with the exception that all emergency physicians chose direct laryngoscopy first. Conclusion: Physicians working in high acuity care environments use both direct laryngoscopy and Glidescope video laryngoscopy to intubate. The Glidescope video laryngoscope was chosen more frequently than direct laryngoscopy when intubation was predicted to be difficult, and despite this was successful in a greater number of cases (92% vs 71%) in our study. Both devices had notable failure rates, emphasizing the importance of ubiquitous training in both techniques and access to both devices.
Characterization of two wheat Carotenoid Cleavage Dioxygenases as possible gene targets against Fusarium Head Blight
Authors: Vig Anjali 
Published: May 2021

Fusarium Head Blight (FHB) is a fungal disease of wheat caused by the organism Fusarium graminearum (FG). Presently, there are no genes known to impart resistance to FHB. However, in a recent study by Swiss scientists, it has been demonstrated that increased content of the carotenoid lutein in wheat kernels is negatively correlated with the proportion of kernels infected by FG [1]. Therefore, this study attempts to identify a means of maintaining elevated levels of lutein in wheat kernels through the characterization of the specific Carotenoid Cleavage Dioxygenase (CCD) enzymes responsible for lutein degradation. By understanding CCDs and the mechanisms by which they interact with lutein, we hope to identify a means of breeding wheat crops with resistance to infection by Fusarium graminearum.
The Association Between Social Motivation and Theory of Mind in Adolescents
Authors: Treissman Caleigh 
Published: May 2021

Introduction: Everyday, individuals must make sense of complex social situations. To do so, individuals must use their theory of mind (ToM). ToM is the ability to identify, explain and predict the mental states of others (e.g. beliefs, emotions; Baron-Cohen et al., 1985). This skill is critical for normal social functioning – poor ToM is associated with both bullying and serious psychiatric disorders (Shakoor et al., 2012; Frith, 2001). In order to prevent the negative outcomes associated with poor social cognition, it is important to understand factors that may be associated with ToM. One factor that may be associated with ToM is social motivation (SM). SM is a set of psychological predispositions that cause an individual to preferentially orient to the social world, to foster social relationships and to take pleasure in social interactions (Chevallier et al., 2012). Individuals with heightened SM may allocate a greater proportion of their attention to others, leading to more opportunities to practice their ToM skills. Hypothesis: I hypothesize that social motivation is positively associated with ToM. Methods: The expected sample includes 60 adolescents between the ages of 13 and 18. Participants completed four well-established ToM tasks and a questionnaire on social motivation (Baron-Cohen et al., 1999; Baron-Cohen et al., 2001; Castelli et al., 2002; Drover, 2012; Rudolph et al., 2011). Data collection began August 2015 and will be completed February 2016.
ПРОБЛЕМА АКТИВАЦІЇ НАВЧАЛЬНОГО ПРОЦЕСУ У КОНТЕКСТІ ДИСТАНЦІЙНОЇ ОСВІТИ
Authors: Логутіна Наталія 
Published: May 2021

У статті проаналізовано проблему активізації навчального процесу вивчення іноземної мови у немовних вищих закладах освіти під час дистанційного навчання. Процес інтенсифікації розглядається у максимальному використанні комп’ютерних технологій, у складанні комп’ютерних електронних посібників, навчаючих програм, контролюючих матеріалів та тестів з іноземної мови професійного спрямування.
Один із шляхів інтенсифікації навчання лексики пропонується використання сучасних технічних засобів, насамперед комп’ютера, що дає можливість активізувати та інтенсифікувати навчальний процес і підвищити якість засвоєння матеріалу студентами. У викладанні іноземної мови ПК розглядається як засіб навчання, який дає змогу організувати керовану, самостійну роботу студентів, особливо на сучасному етапі – в період дистанційного навчання. Новий матеріал, викладений на аудиторному on-line занятті, потребує повторення і закріплення під час індивідуальної (самостійної) підготовки з використанням комп’ютерних підручників, навчальних програм, матеріалів та тестів для самоконтролю.
Одне з призначень ПК розглядається у статті як засіб допомогти викладачеві розв’язати найважливіші завдання під час навчання іноземним мовам: використовувати різні способи самостійної роботи з усіх видів мовленнєвої діяльності над мовним матеріалом, за допомогою комп’ютера можна спрямувати самостійні заняття студентів за програмою, яка, формуючи навчальні завдання та вказуючи шляхи їх виконання, забезпечує планомірне засвоєння мовного матеріалу, його активізацію, безперервний контроль і корекцію відповідних тестів та завдань. Це особливо важливо для немовних вищих закладів освіти, де на вивчення іноземної мови відводиться порівняно невелика кількість навчальних годин.
Але у будь-якому випадку основу навчального процесу в умовах дистанційного навчання складає цілеспрямована і чітко контрольована інтенсивна самостійна робота студента, який може вчитись у зручному для себе місці й в зручний час, маючи при собі набір (кейс) засобів навчання (методичні вказівки, флеш-пам’ять з лекціями та контролюючими матеріалами та тестами тощо).

Published: May 2021

Audit Oversight Board (AOB) was established in Malaysia to regulate the auditors of public listed companies and instil the trust and confidence of the public on the quality of audit services provided by them. This study aims to explore the impact of AOB establishment on external auditors. Interviews were conducted with twenty audit seniors and managers in Big four and non-Big four firms in Klang Valley. The interviews revealed that more works were done and more documentation was compiled after AOB establishment. The results also indicated that more informal meetings were conducted to get more information and clarification from the clients to solve audit issues. However, the auditors claimed that their reliance on the internal auditors was not affected by AOB establishment. The findings also suggested that audit fee was not directly affected by the establishment of AOB. The results of the study contribute to the literature and understanding of AOB establishment in Malaysian audit industry.

Published: May 2021

Working Capital Management (WCM) plays a vital role in companies’ both operational and financial decisions. WCM refers to all strategies adopted by the company to manage its short-term assets and short- term liabilities with the objective to ensure that it continues with its operations and meet its debt obligations when they fall due. There is lack of study being conducted on the effect of WCM on the profitability of firms in Malaysia, especially in manufacturing sector. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the relationship and the impact of WCM on firm performance across Bumiputera and Non-Bumiputera manufacturing firms in Malaysia. The analysis of panel data is conducted on sample size of 40 listed manufacturing firms from 2009 until 2018. This study employed descriptive statistics, correlation analysis and Pooled Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) to test the effect of inventory days, account receivable days, and account payable days (independent variable) on firm performance measured by return on assets (ROA). The findings show that there is significant negative relationship between inventory days and account receivable days on firm performance. While, account payable days shows an insignificant impact for both manufacturing firms and negative relationship on bumiputera firm performance and positive relationship on non-bumiputera firm performance. For future research, it is suggested that new the impact of WCM on firm performance in other sector in Malaysia can be measured.

Представлены результаты исследований по защите белокочанной капусты от крестоцветных блошек при безрассадном и рассадном способах ее выращивания. Эффективность протравливания семян инсектицидом Круйзер, КС изучали на растениях гибрида F1 Финиш. Семена протравливали препаратом в норме 20 л/т (20 мл/кг) за шесть дней до высева. В контроле семена обрабатывали водой. Для оценки эффективности пролива кассет с рассадой капусты препаратом Актара, ВДГ растения выращивали в стандартных кассетах. Инсектицид применяли способом пролива за сутки до высадки рассады в открытый грунт. Расход рабочей жидкости согласно рекомендациям фирмы-производителя препарата составил 1 л/м2 с концентрацией по препарату 0,2%. Изучаемые инсектициды показали высокую эффективность в борьбе с ранневесенними вредителями. Биологическая эффективность протравителя Круйзер, КС составила на седьмой день – 71%, четырнадцатый – 82%, на двадцать первый – 88,5%. Биологическая эффективность препарата Актара, ВДГ была на седьмой день – 98%, на четырнадцатый – 100%, на двадцать первый – 98% и на тридцатый – 92%. Применение превентивных методов защиты (протравливание семян и пролив кассет перед высадкой рассады в открытый грунт) позволило защитить наиболее уязвимую стадию развития капусты – всходы и молодые растения – на срок до одного месяца. Применение инсектицидов такими способами может способствовать сокращению расходов на защитные мероприятия, снижению пестицидной нагрузки на агроценоз и степени воздействия с.-х. техники на почву за счет уменьшения количества обработок.

A Study of how Kate is Portrayed as a Shrew in The Taming of the Shrew by Shakespeare
Authors: Yu Ling 
Published: May 2021

Katherine, also called Kate, is the shrew in the play The taming of the shrew, one of Shakespeare’s earliest comedies. She first appears in the play as a young woman who insists on saying whatever she thinks and expressing freely whatever she feels. Her words are regularly abusive and angry, and her actions are often violent. More seriously, she is not respectful or obedient towards her father Baptista, who she thinks favors her younger sister, Bianca. In contrast to Kate, she appears to be sweet, soft-spoken and obedient, an image of a good girl. Furthermore, no sooner does Kate meet her sole suitor, Petruchio, than they engage in a battle of wordplay and threaten each other’s face. Owing to these “unruly” behaviors, Kate inescapably establishes a reputation of a shrew in a patriarchal society, where women are expected to be obedient to man. Living in a patriarchal society, Kate is talkative and disobedient to the males who are supposed to have authority over her. This leads to her being labeled as a shrew, as women in that period were expected to be silent and obedient. Kate’s shrewish disposition is revealed in the way in which she talks to her male counterparts such as suitors of Bianca, her father, and her sole suitor, who later becomes her husband. That is, although Kate is violent and not respectful to people around her, it is the talkativeness that makes Kate a shrew, as it clearly posts the greatest challenge to the male supremacy.

Background: African populations in sub-Saharan Africa and African migrants in Europe are facing a rapid upsurge in obesity. This trend has been related to urbanization, migration and associated shifts in lifestyle, including dietary habits. Whether changes in eating patterns contribute to the rising burden of obesity among African populations is currently unknown.
Objective: Our aims in conducting this study were to characterize eating patterns among Ghanaian adults living in their country of origin and in Europe and to explore associations of meal patterns with body mass index (BMI).
Design: Within the cross-sectional RODAM (Research on Obesity and Diabetes among African Migrants) study, data of single 24-h dietary recalls from Ghanaian adults in rural Ghana (n = 20), urban Ghana (n = 42), and Europe (n = 172) were recorded. Eating frequencies, energy intake, and macronutrient composition of eating occasions (EOs, i.e. meals or snacks) were compared between study sites based on descriptive statistics and χ2-/Kruskal–Wallis tests.
Results: A rising gradient of EO frequencies from rural Ghana through urban Ghana to Europe was observed, mainly reflecting the differences in snacking frequencies (≥1 snack per day: 20 vs. 48 vs. 52%, P = 0.008). Meal frequencies were similar across study sites (≥3 meals per day: 30 vs. 33 vs. 38%, P = 0.80). Meals were rich in carbohydrates (median 54.5, interquartile range (IQR): 43.2–64.0 energy%) and total fats (median: 27.0, IQR: 19.9–34.4 energy %); their protein content was lowest in rural Ghana, followed by urban Ghana and Europe (P = 0.0005). Snacks mainly contained carbohydrates (median: 75.7, IQR: 61.0–89.2 energy%). In linear regression analyses, there was a non-significant trend for an inverse association between snacking frequencies and BMI.
Discussion and conclusions: The observed integration of carbohydrate-dense snacks into the diet supports the growing evidence for a nutrition transition among African populations undergoing socioeconomic development. This analysis constitutes a starting point to further investigate the nutritional implications of increased snacking frequencies on obesity and metabolic health in these African populations.

Published: May 2021

The aim of the study was to improve the results of treatment in patients with chronic venous insufficiency with trophic ulcers due to the use of artificial wound dressings and platelet-rich growth factors. The study included 34 patients who had trophic ulcers on the skin of the lower leg (n/3 and c/3). Group I (comparisons) included 11 (32.4%) patients who received conventional treatment; in the second group - 23 (67.6%) patients who underwentcomprehensive treatment according to the method developed by us.
The criteria for the study was the presence of trophic ulcers of the leg, which were unhealed for a long time; the presence of posttroflebitic disease; preserved pulsation on the arteries of the limbs. Patients were treated with trophic ulcers by phototherapy, by scleroobliteration of insolvent perforant,and by closing the wound defect with a synthetic wound cover. In all patients of the main group, the treatment time did not exceed 39 days. In the comparison group, this indicator ranged from 28 to 53 days (depending on the area of wounds and the characteristics of thecourse of the wound process).
