Published: September 2017

Objective: The purpose of this paper is to investigate the alliance performance of construction Objective: The purpose of the current research was to explore the level of perceived social support between criminals and non-criminals.
Methodology: 160 participants were considered as a sample, 80 were criminals (40 males and 40 females) and 80 were non-criminals (40 males and 40 females) taken from Sahiwal, Arifwala and Bahawalnagr. Criminals were selected from central jail Sahiwal and district jail Bahawalnagr. Their age range was between 18-70 years old. All individuals have a minimum metric qualification. To check the level of perceived social support, Multidimensional scale of perceived social support (MSPSS) was used.
Results: Results indicate that perceived social support and criminality are negatively correlated. The level of perceived social support is higher among non-criminals than criminals. The result suggests that there is no significant difference of perceived social support between males and females.
Implication: This paper gives valuable information about the importance of social support. Without proper support and guidance no child, no male or female will learn life skills or grow up with a strong sense of right and wrong and respect other people.

Authors: Polshkova Svitlana , Voloshina Diana , Cunningham Rebecca , Zucker Robert , Walton Maureen 
Published: September 2017

Background
World Health Organization data shows alarming rates of alcohol consumption among those ages 15 and older in the Ukraine. This study examined the feasibility and initial efficacy of a brief intervention to reduce risky drinking among emerging adults (ages 18-25) in the Ukraine.

Methods
Emerging adults presenting to two settings were screened for risky drinking (Railway Clinical Hospital and Kiev National Medical University), with those screening positive on the AUDIT-C (>5) enrolled in the study: 59 participants from the hospital setting (mean age = 22.6 (2.1), 55.9% male) and 61 participants from the university setting (mean age = 20.1(2.3), 55.7% male). After self-administering a computerized baseline assessment, participants were randomized to receive an in-person brief intervention with telephone booster or to a control condition; participants self-administered a computerized follow-up at 3 months.

Results
Regression analyses were conducted, separately for each setting, predicting alcohol outcomes (alcohol consumption and consequences); models controlled for baseline alcohol levels and condition assignment (brief intervention or control). In both settings, the brief intervention group showed significantly less alcohol consumption and consequences at 3-months as compared to the control group (p<.001); however, the groups did not significantly differ on other drug use (DAST-10 score).

Conclusion
Findings suggest that brief motivational interventions are promising for reducing risky drinking among emerging adults in the Ukraine in both inpatient hospital and university settings. Future studies are needed to replicate these findings and extend these effects to reduce other drug use among young people in the Ukraine.
Freiburg Personality Inventory for assessment of the police officers
Authors: Omelyanovich Vitaliy 
Published: September 2017

Background
Psychological and psychiatric support of work activity of law enforcement officers is an inalienable component of the effective and professional operation of the system of internal affairs bodies. Improvement of this work is impossible without increasing the effectiveness of the psychological selection of candidates for work.

Method
Methods of research were "Freiburg personality inventory" (FPI) - Option «B», «Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory» – MMPI. The study group included 158 respondents: 79,1 % (125 people) of men and 20,9% (33 people) of women. To analyze the results obtained, we used the methods of descriptive statistics, frequency analysis, and Kendell rank correlation.

Results
Particular attention should be paid to the fact that while comparing the scales of the diagnostic scales of the FPI and MMPI technique, it would be logical to expect the presence of correlations between the scales similar in their diagnostic orientation to such correlation links neither within the male or female gender it was not found (τ-b ≤0,17;p ≥0,06). This unexpected fact, as well as the lack of systematic and gender-wide universality of the revealed correlation links between the indicators of the FPI and MMPI methods, point to a rather serious content heterogeneity of these psychological tests.

Conclusion
The results of the analysis do not provide an opportunity to justify the FPI test for wide use in practical activities for the professional selection of law enforcement officers.

Resistant depression: criteria for determination, risk factors and therapeutic strategies
Authors: Khaustova Olena 
Published: September 2017

Background
Therapy of resistant depression raises a number of diagnostic and therapeutic problems, requires the solution of a number of methodological issues. A scientific discussion continues around the definition of depression resistance, assessment of the degree of reduction of depressive symptoms, the level of social and role functioning of patients; the improvement of models for determining the degree of resistance to various types of depression therapy continues; new methods of therapy and new algorithms of combined therapy are being developed. The ultimate goal of all these efforts should be practical recommendations for determining therapeutic options for the treatment of patients with resistant depression, which will help doctors make informed decisions on intervention strategies.

Aim
To analyze the therapeutic possibilities of treating depressive disorders that are resistant to therapy.

Methods
Publications from the Pubmed, MEDLINE, the Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Google Scholar databases were analyzed. Tags: depression, treatment, resistance, psevdoresistence, therapeutic response, resistance to treatment, strategies for treatment of resistant depression.

Results
The terminology related to resistant depression was defined: lack of a therapeutic response, adequate dose, adequate duration of treatment, antidepressant intolerance, pseudo-resistance, relative resistance to treatment, absolute resistance to treatment, treatment of resistant depression, remission, recovery. Models for determining the resistance of depression have been described: the Thase & Rush model; European stepped model; A step model of the Massachusetts hospital; Step model of Maudsley; Form of the history of treatment with antidepressants. Risk factors for treatment of resistant depression were identified, and the main therapeutic strategies were described: optimization, switching, augmentation, combination and non-drug therapy. Particular attention is paid to the use of atypical antipsychotics, in particular arapiprazole, as the augmentation strategy. A complex approach is described, which includes various combinations of the above strategies.

Conclusion
Each case of treatment-resistant depression has its own unique characteristics and requires careful evaluation to determine the correct diagnosis and the quality of the therapeutic response. Equally important for building an adequate treatment plan is evaluating risk factors for the treatment of resistant depression. There is a wide variety of options for the treatment of resistant depression, so each therapeutic strategy should be used to help patients with treatment-resistant depression. The combination of antidepressant therapy and atypical antipsychotics with antidepressant properties in combination with psychotherapeutic intervention and adherence to adequate doses and duration of treatment may be a choice strategy for patients with treatment-resistant depression.

Published: September 2017

In the last few years, several imported cases of Zika virus (ZIKV) infection were reported in European countries. We report the first imported ZIKV infection case in a Croatian traveler returning from Brazil. The patient presented with a low-grade fever, pruritic rash, general weakness, myalgia, arthralgia and edema of the legs and recovered completely within a week. ZIKV infection was confirmed by detection of IgM/IgG antibodies using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and confirmed by plaque-reduction neutralization test (PRNT). ZIKV IgM antibodies cross-reacted with dengue virus (DENV), West Nile virus (WNV) and tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) in ELISA. In indirect immunofluorescence assay (IFA), IgM cross-reactivity was found only with DENV-3. ZIKV IgG antibodies cross-reacted with DENV in both ELISA and IFA. PRNT for DENV was negative. Control serology performed on days 64 and 98 after disease onset showed a decline in cross-reactive heterologous DENV IgG antibodies compared to persistently high titer of homologous ZIKV IgG antibodies.
Comparing Professional Values of Sophomore and Senior Baccalaureate Nursing Students
Authors: Posluszny Laura , Hawley Diane A. 
Published: September 2017

Background:

The 2015 American Nurses' Association
Code of Ethics
reinforces professional values in nursing, and nurse educators may need evidence of their students' professional development.

Method:
Using the Nurses Professional Values Scale-Revised (NPVS-R), researchers examined two questions: What is the relative importance of professional values (i.e., caring, trust, justice, activism, and professionalism) for beginning and graduating baccalaureate nursing students, and are there differences in professional values between these students?

Results:
New and graduating nursing students in the current study had well-developed professional values. Sophomore-level nursing students viewed trust, caring, and justice as significantly more important than activism. Senior-level students perceived trust as significantly more important than activism and professionalism. Although total NPVS-R scores did not differ significantly between cohorts, senior-level students did score significantly higher on activism than sophomore-level students.

Conclusion:

With the revised
Code
, nurse educators may reevaluate the ethics curriculum. This study suggests opportunity for strengthening values beyond the nurse–client relationship, such as activism and professionalism. [

Progressive Dosing of Observed Real-Life Clinical Exposure for Nurse Practitioner Training
Authors: Reyes Imelda , Close Sharron , Rodriguez Jeannie , Evans Dian 
Published: September 2017

Background:
In most advanced practice programs, preceptors are relied on for providing student clinical experiences. Preceptor feedback often indicates that many students show competency deficits in well child care, case presentation, and clinical skills.

Method:
An innovative preclinical experience was developed using nonscripted pediatric patient and family volunteers from the local community. During the three 4-hour experiences, students obtained a health history, performed a full physical examination, and presented their findings using a standardized case presentation format. Student anxiety and levels of confidence were assessed before and after each experience.

Results:
Student anxiety decreased, and self-confidence and clinical skill competencies improved. Students who participated in the experiences with faculty demonstrated improved entry-level competencies, compared with previous cohorts who had not received the intervention.

Conclusion:

Preclinical experiences using pediatric patients improved advanced practice nursing student confidence and competencies and reduced anxiety, improving overall entry-level clinical performance. [

Trapping Pandemis limitata (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) moths with mixtures of acetic acid, caterpillar-induced apple-leaf volatiles, and sex pheromone
Authors: Judd Gary J.R. , Knight Alan L. , El-Sayed Ashraf M. 
Published: September 2017

AbstractPandemis limitata (Robinson) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) is one of several leaf-feeding caterpillar pests of commercial tree-fruit crops in British Columbia, Canada. Recent discovery that European Pandemis Hübner species are attracted by lures combining acetic acid and the caterpillar-induced apple-leaf volatiles, 2-phenylethanol, and phenylacetonitrile, prompted our examination of P. limitata response to these compounds. Trapping tests in organic apple orchards revealed that neither of these individual benzenoids, nor their binary combination, was attractive. Acetic acid alone was weakly attractive, but more importantly, catches increased significantly when an acetic-acid co-lure was combined with 2-phenylethanol or phenylacetonitrile, individually and together. Catches of male and female P. limitata with acetic acid+2-phenylethanol, or acetic acid+2-phenylethanol+phenylacetonitrile were similar, respectively, and both sexes were caught significantly less often in traps baited with acetic acid+phenylacetonitrile. When combined with acetic-acid co-lures, traps baited with membrane dispensers releasing 2-phenylethanol at ~1 mg/day caught significantly more moths than traps baited with rubber septa lures releasing 2-phenylethanol at ~0.6 mg/day. Moth catches in traps baited with 2-phenylethanol were unaffected when the emission of acetic-acid co-lures was increased from ~28 to 63 mg/day. Catches of male P. limitata in traps baited with sex pheromone were significantly greater than catches in traps baited with acetic acid+2-phenylethanol, or traps baited with a ternary blend of acetic acid+2-phenylethanol+sex pheromone. Catches of female P. limitata in traps baited with acetic acid+2-phenylethanol were significantly reduced when it was combined with sex pheromone. Use of the ternary acetic acid+2-phenylethanol+phenylacetonitrile blend provides an opportunity to develop multispecies bisexual trapping systems to improve management of sympatric tortricid pests currently causing economic losses in organic apples in British Columbia. More work on long-lasting release devices, nonsaturating traps, and organically acceptable killing agents are needed to develop organic mass-trapping systems.
On a reported effect in ionospheric TEC around the time of the 6 April 2009 L'Aquila earthquake
Authors: Masci Fabrizio , Thomas Jeremy N. , Secan James A. 
Published: September 2017

Abstract. In a report published in Advances in Space Research, Nenovski et al. (2015) analyse ionospheric TEC (total electron content) data from GPS measurements around the time of the 6 April 2009 Mw 6. 1 L'Aquila (Italy) earthquake. According to the authors, TEC difference (DTEC) calculated from two GPS (Global Positioning System) receivers in central Italy shows a hump-like shape (an increase followed by a decrease) during the hours just before and shortly after the main shock. They maintain that the hump-like shape is anomalous and may be related to the earthquake. We show that the DTEC increase in the hours before the shock, as well as its subsequent slow decrease, does not have any characteristic that might support a possible relationship with the earthquake. We have also conducted our own independent analysis using the same GPS data analysed by Nenovski et al. (2015). We have found a diurnal variation in DTEC time series that shows hump-like shapes like that reported by Nenovski et al. (2015) throughout the investigated period. This demonstrates that the hump-like shape in DTEC close to the time of the 6 April earthquake is not anomalous and cannot be considered a possible earthquake-related effect.

Published: September 2017

Abstract
The control of homing surface-to-air short-range anti-aircraft missile takes place in the atmosphere, in which there are different types of atmospheric disturbances such as: turbulence, gust and wind shear. The atmospheric disturbances is generated with the Dryden power spectral density model. This paper presents a method for control of flying objects such as anti-aircraft missile moving in a disturbed environment. The method of proportional navigation will be applied for the guidance of missile on the ground target. The research will include the analysis of influence of atmospherics on the hitting the target accuracy, the shape of the flight path and the values of generated control forces. Numerical research will be carried out with use of Matlab/Simulink software. Obtained results will be presented in the graphical form.
