Conformity to Masculine Norms and Attitudes Toward Sexual Behavior: A Study Among College Students Involved in Sport

Conformity to masculine norms has been connected to high-risk behaviors among college students, including sexual behavior. Research suggests that sport participation reinforces masculinity and predicts acceptance of sexually aggressive attitudes and behaviors, which may be a precursor to sexual violence. However, little is known about conformity to masculine norms and sexual behavior within the context of sport. This study examined the association between conformity between masculine norms (i.e., dominance, success and winning, risk-taking, and violence) and attitudes toward sexual behavior. The final analyzed sample included a total of 547 undergraduate students who compete in collegiate or community-based sport. Results from the ordinary least squares regression analysis indicated participants with greater acceptance of dominance, risk-taking, and violence had greater attitudes toward sexual behavior. Males reported greater attitudes toward sexual behavior than females. Implications from this study underscore the need to promote positive masculinity and healthy sexual relationships with a unique subculture of college students.

CARE PRACTICES AND CHALLENGES EXPERIENCED BY PUBLIC HEALTH NURSES DURING ACUTE AND CHRONIC PANDEMIC PERIOD

Aim: This study aimed to determine the challenges experienced by Public Health Nurses (PHN) in delivering care to society during the acute and chronic periods of the pandemic and different care application methods. Method: This qualitative and descriptive study was conducted between January and February 2022. Phenomenological approach was used as a qualitative research method. The sample of the study consisted of 21 public health nurses working in family health centers. Data were obtained with a semi-structured interview form and descriptive information form containing sociodemographic characteristics. The interviews were recorded. Malterud's analysis method used in qualitative data analysis. Results: Four main themes were identified as "psychosocial situation, measures/precautions, difficulties, and solution methods" regarding care practices and challenges experienced by PHN during acute and chronic periods of a pandemic. Thirteen sub-themes under these main themes were differentiated according to acute and chronic periods. The mean age, and duration of working of PHNs participating in the study was 37.8 and 16.3 years, respectively. Conclusion: PHNs were negatively affected psychologically due to prejudices, fears, and uncertainty during the acute period of the pandemic, and in the chronic period, they faced aggressive, impatient, and anti-vax attitudes of the public. While during the acute period, telephone monitoring, telemedicine management, and difficulties in persuading the public were at the forefront of care practices, education, guidance, and counseling services for long-term health problems of people became a priority in the chronic period.

ОБРАЗ ІДЕАЛЬНОГО ТА РЕАЛЬНОГО КЕРІВНИКІВ МЕДИЧНОГО ЗАКЛАДУ В УМОВАХ ПАНДЕМІЇ

The theoretical analysis of a manager's image has showed that it includes personality structures of ideal and real managers. The internal factors that form images of ideal and real managers include: personal traits; skills, knowledge, aptitudes and abilities necessary for efficient management; features of character and behaviour, including management styles. The external factors include: a situation in which management is carried out and heterogeneity of the social group of subordinates. Management in medical organisations during the COVID-19 pandemic has its own specifics, namely, several types of managers should be involved into it: middle managers and senior managers. The analysis of the research results showed some similarity between the images of ideal and real managers in medical organizations. The greatest similarity was observed for the following traits: self-confident, friendly, having high communicative skills, with a sense of humour, supporting universal values, flexible, stress-resistant, courageous in decision-making, organized at work, authoritative, having critical, analytical thinking. Differences between the images of real and ideal managers were revealed for the following features: activity, lack of initiative, ability to clearly define professional and personal goals and tasks, honesty, aggressive attitude to criticism. The main psychological factors in the image structures of ideal and real managers in medical organizations during the COVID-19 pandemic were determined. The image of an ideal manager included such factors as professionalism, care for subordinates, passivity, restrained dictatorship, steadfastness of character. The image of a real manager included such factors as are consistency in work, care for subordinates, efficiency, professionalism, authoritarian style, decision-making, openness. It was important for the medical staff that their manager was competent, demanding and fair, unwavering in decision-making, accepting calmly criticism directed at him/her, being well balanced and open to interactions and dialogue and having a restrained directive leadership style.

또래 중심 생태 미술 활동이 지적장애 학생의 공격성 완화에 미치는 효과

Objectives Purpose The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of peer-centered ecological art activities on alleviating aggression of students with intellectual disabilities.
 Methods To this end, it was pointed out that among the students in the third grade of middle school requested by the homeroom teacher, they received a score of 21 or higher on the aggression scale of the shortened Conner rating scale, as they were having difficulties adjusting to school life due to their aggressive attitude among the classes of H special school located in Busan. Four students with disabilities (1 male, 3 female) were selected as the research subjects.
 Results TLooking at the results, it was found that before the peer-centered ecological art program was implemented, all five areas of the adaptive behavior test standardized test (K-ABS) aggression decreased after the peer-centered ecological art program was implemented. Among the sub-items, ‘61. The most significant decrease was in the category of 'I am violent or angry.’ In addition, looking at the observation log of the peer-centered ecological art program, as the sessions progressed during the program, the students' attitudes toward natural subjects and materials and their finished works became more serious and calm, and their aggressive behavior decreased. It was found that there was also a positive change in the action.
 Conclusions In conclusion, it was found that the aggression of students with intellectual disabilities was reduced through the development and application of a peer-centered ecological art program. Recognizing that many students with intellectual disabilities have this problem of maladaptive behavior in the future, if a more systematic and long-term peer-centered ecological art program is developed, it will be of more help in reducing the aggression of students with intellectual disabilities, and continuous research is required.

Estimates of Trade Based Money Laundering within the European Union

ABSTRACT This paper applies a Multiple Indicators Multiple Causes Model to benchmark trade-based money laundering (TBML) activity for 26 European Union member countries between 2005 and 2015. Results indicate substantial TBML levels in the region averaging between $0.9 to $1.8 trillion USD annually. Surprisingly, we also find that TBML is a complement to traditional money laundering activities. Policies focusing on deterring traditional money laundering and tax evasion are associated with reduced TBML activity in the region. Aggressive government attitude towards traditional money laundering and illicit drug trade, without effectively reducing the illicit proceeds, can deter the detection of money laundering and increase TBML.

Protective Factors Against Aggression and Antisocial Attitudes Among Probation Youth with Childhood Adversity Histories.

Childhood adversity is linked to adolescent aggression and antisocial attitudes, which are common predictors of delinquency and violence. Early interruption of these negative trajectories is important for preventing serious criminality. Efforts to bolster protective factors such as social-emotional skills and positive relationships may attenuate this link, but research is needed to clarify salient factors for court-involved youth. Using risk assessment data for a diverse sample of youth on probation (N = 5378), this study investigated the role of adverse childhood experiences in increasing aggression and antisocial attitudes and the degree to which protective factors (self-regulation, future orientation, positive parenting, prosocial connections) mitigated those relationships. Multivariate models controlling for antisocial peers demonstrated that childhood maltreatment was the most salient form of adversity for increasing both aggression and antisocial attitudes. All protective factors were associated with reduced aggression and antisocial attitudes and, in moderation models, muted the impact of childhood adversity on both outcomes. These findings highlight the need for practice efforts geared toward bolstering protective factors for youth on probation, especially among those with child maltreatment histories.

Резултати от изследване на агресивните нагласи и емоционално състоя- ние на студентите

This article summarizes the results of a study of the aggressive attitudes and emotional state of the students of Sofia University “St. Kliment Ohridski” and Medical College “Y. Filaretova”. The current environment and conditions of crisis – social, energy, economic, political, cultural, spiritual, value, etc. instills the feeling of fear – fear of disease, fear of war, etc. The lack of morals and stable values, as well as the lack of statehood, unquestionably unlocks in man his worst qualities. Aggression is one of those qualities. The studied students answered two questionnaires, one containing 75 questions and the other 28. The analysis of the data shows that most of the students do not feel respected enough and consider that their rights are violated, but they tend not to respect and/or circumvent the rules, to “maneuver” and tolerate irresponsible behavior. A large number of students have aggressive attitudes and tend to hide them, but in general they are tense, unbalanced.

Bulgarian Economy on the Way of Ecological Transformation

Climate changes and the aggressive attitude towards the environment as a result of human activity in recent decades have had increasingly negative effects everywhere on a global scale, including in our country. Studies from recent years show that the process of transition to an ecological economy in Bulgaria is still quite inert and poorly effective. In the present study, the dynamics of a series of indicators for sustainable development and ecological economy, defined by Eurostat, have been analyzed. Trend models have been developed for the selected indicators concerning the 2010-2020 period and forecasts for their development with a 2-year horizon have been compiled. Based on the results, the country’s progress on the way of ecological transformation of the economy has been considered.

How to prevent incivility from women employees? The role of psychological contract violation, aggressive reciprocal attitude and conscientiousness

PurposeThe present work investigates the micro-mechanisms underlying the link between psychological contract violation (PCV) and incivility in women employees. Building on social exchange theory (SET) and the norm of reciprocity, the authors utilized a multi-dimensional variable, labeled “Aggressive Reciprocal Attitude” (ARA), composed of three sub-constructs, namely anger, hostility and negative reciprocity, to explain negative women's uncivil behaviors. Further, the effect of conscientiousness is hypothesized to restrain the mechanism of ARA.Design/methodology/approachConfirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) and Covariance-based Structural Equation Modeling (CB-SEM) were used on a sample of 194 women from 4 different organizations to empirically validate the proposed conceptual model and test the hypothesized relationships.FindingsWomen's ARA is shown as a partial mediator of the relationship between PCV and incivility. Conscientiousness significantly moderates the link between ARA and incivility.Practical implicationsManagers should avoid stereotyping women as more compliant and submissive. Based on women's tendency to reciprocate negatively, this study’s findings suggest that reducing the negative reciprocity attitude is advisable by demonstrating that negative responses are an unsuccessful strategy and encouraging other forms of reaction.Originality/valueBy introducing the negative reciprocity attitude in the construction of the variable ARA, the authors overcome the contradiction between the social role theory, according to which women avoid unsociable behaviors, and studies demonstrating a remarkable presence of conflicts among women.

Psychological Profile, Emotion Regulation, and Aggression in Police Applicants: A Swiss Cross-Sectional Study

Although police officers are recurrently exposed to traumatic situations during their duties, only a minority report notable emotional complaints. This can be explained either by strong emotional coping skills or by a repressive self-presentation style. The current study describes the emotional profile and personality dispositions of police candidates (i.e., prior to exposure to occupational trauma) and explores the possible association between these personal characteristics and predisposition to aggression. In a cross-section design, 149 Swiss police applicants were compared to 110 individuals of the community matched by age, gender and level of education. Validated scales were used to obtain self-report markers of emotions and attitudes (anxiety, happiness/depression, aggressive attitudes) and personal dispositions (sensitivity to reinforcement, impulsivity, social desirability). Compared to civilian individuals, police candidates self-reported being happier, less anxious, less aggressive, and less impulsive. They declared being less sensitive to reinforcement, whether punishment or reward, but showed a higher degree of social desirability. Their aggressive tendencies were influenced by anxiety, urgency, and sensitivity to reward. The findings will be discussed within the framework of a diathesis-stress model of emotion regulation. It suggests that the repressive coping style described in police candidates may be a protective factor against negative and overwhelming emotions in the short term, but a risk factor for emotional imbalance in the long term, particularly if exposed to recurrent adverse events.

THE INFLUENCE OF DYSLEXIA ON CHILDRENS' SELF-ESTEEM IN PRIMARY SCHOOL

Dyslexia is a learning disorder that is characterized by children's impaired ability to read and spell words.Self-esteem is confidence and belief in one's own worth. Strong self-esteem is associated with good psychologicalhealth. Children spend most of their days in school and this environment forms the sense of worth for manychildren. Dyslexia regularly causes failure in school and is usually accompanied by behavioral and emotionalproblems: instability, lack of discipline, resistance, passive or aggressive attitude, refusal of school, isolation, andfeelings of inferiority (Shaywitz S.E., Shaywitz J.E., Shaywitz B.A. (2021). The most common mistakes, such asblaming the child for poor school performance or attributing the cause to psychological problems, regularly lead topoor self-image, affect their confidence, or low self-esteem (Chica, 2017). School can quickly shatter the self-esteemof a dyslexic child. Dyslexia has a negative effect on self-esteem, but this effect depends on levels of support athome and at school. Clinical research shows the emotional and motivational factors associated with dyslexia.The purpose of the present study is to investigate the factors that influence the self-esteem of students with dyslexia.Provides a brief overview of some of the key literature in this area and then describes a study conducted in threemainstream primary schools in the eastern part of the Republic of North Macedonia.Methodology: data were collected using semi-structured interviews with students who received an official diagnosisof dyslexia. Eleven students voluntarily participated in an interview. The study looked at the influence of factorssuch as comparisons with other students and the influence of teachers, peers and family on students' self-esteem.The results of the study show that these factors contribute significantly to the self-esteem of students with dyslexia.The most significant contributor to students' self-esteem is being diagnosed with dyslexia and being labeled.Conclusions: Dyslexic children with high self-esteem display more confidence and will volunteer answers or try outnew subjects/tasks than lower self-esteem children. These high self-esteem children expect to succeed and attributesuccess to their skill/ability.Recommendations: early diagnosis of dyslexia is essential to creating a positive self-image and recommends thatfurther research is needed on the meaning of the diagnosis for these learners. Children with dyslexia can achievehigher self-esteem, not just developed communication and writing competence.

AN AGENCY THEORY APPROACH TO DISINTERMEDIATION IN THE MICE DISTRIBUTION CHANNEL FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF THE HOTEL INDUSTRY

MICE Tourism is a segment of the tourism industry that deals with the organisation of Meetings, Incentives, Conventions and Exhibitions, which are experiencing a major process of disintermediation. This article applies the principal-agent problem in the theory of agency to analyse MICE disintermediation. It uses a dominant/sequential qual-QUAN mixed methods approach. Firstly, through interviews with MICE professionals to validate the research variables, test sample and questionnaire. Then, quantitative research using a survey sent to 365 MICE stakeholders in Europe. The opinions of hoteliers were compared with those of other MICE stakeholders to analyse disintermediation and determine the role of hoteliers in this new scenario. Our findings confirm a trend of partial disintermediation in which hotel bookings are the most disintermediated service and hoteliers are the stakeholders that pose a more proactive and aggressive attitude towards disintermediation. This paper is of interest for MICE stakeholders to better understand their position in the value chain and interpret the process of disintermediation. Its originality is based on the fact that it gathers the opinions of all MICE agents with a special focus on the perspective of its most dominant actor: the hotel.

Increased use of high-flow nasal cannulas after the pandemic in bronchiolitis: a more severe disease or a changed physician’s attitude?

After the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, we noticed a marked increase in high-flow nasal cannula use for bronchiolitis. This study aims to report the percentage of children treated with high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) in various seasons. The secondary outcomes were admissions for bronchiolitis, virological results, hospital burden, and NICU/PICU need. We conducted a retrospective study in four Italian hospitals, examining the medical records of all infants (< 12 months) hospitalized for bronchiolitis in the last four winter seasons (1 September–31 March 2018–2022). In the 2021–2022 winter season, 66% of admitted children received HFNC versus 23%, 38%, and 35% in the previous 3 years. A total of 876 patients were hospitalized in the study periods. In 2021–2022, 300 infants were hospitalized for bronchiolitis, 22 in 2020–2021, 259 in 2019–2020, and 295 in 2018–2019. The percentage of patients needing intensive care varied from 28.7% to 18%, 22%, and 15% in each of the four considered periods (p < 0.05). Seventy-seven percent of children received oxygen in the 2021–2022 winter; vs 50%, 63%, and 55% (p < 0.01) in the previous 3 years. NIV/CPAP was used in 23%, 9%, 16%, and 12%, respectively. In 2021–2020, 2% of patients were intubated; 0 in 2020–2021, 3% in 2019–2020, and 1% in 2018–2019.Conclusion: This study shows a marked increase in respiratory support and intensive care admissions this last winter. While these severity indexes were all driven by medical choices, more reliable indexes such as intubation rate and length of stay did not change. Therefore, we suggest that there is a more aggressive treatment attitude rather than a more severe disease.What is Known:• COVID-19 pandemic deeply impacted bronchiolitis epidemiology, reducing hospitalizations to onetenth. In the 2021-2022 winter, bronchiolitis resurged to pre-pandemic numbers in Europe.What is New:• Bronchiolitis hospitalization rose much faster in the 2021-2022 winter period, peaking at a higher level. Respiratory supports and high-flow nasal cannula increased significantly compared to the pre-pandemic era.

Inflation persistence and monetary policy: DSGE‐VAR approach

AbstractWe study the dynamics of U.S. inflation persistence and the sources resulting to it over the “Great Inflation” and “Great Moderation” periods. It is different from most of the current studies in that we consider a Bayesian VAR model with the DSGE prior, the so‐called DSGE‐VAR approach, in which the prior economic information is coming from a small‐scale New Keynesian DSGE model. In the recursive estimation of the model, we find a decline in the inflation persistence, measured by the “half‐life” response of inflation to the monetary policy shock, in the early 1980s. The stance of monetary policy, particularly the aggressive attitude toward the monetary policy implementation, plays an important role in explaining the structural change of the inflation persistence.

Role and Impact of Cartoons in Building Children’s Attitude at Primary Level

The objective of this study is to explore the impact on the attitudes and language of children after watching cartoon programs. It is considered that cartoons are the safest and most popular entertainment for children. Plenty of TV channels non-stop broadcast different cartoons for children. Kids spend far more time watching cartoons on electronic gadgets than on any other task. It not only attracts the children through its contents but also inculcates some positive and negative habits in them. Violence is a vital part of most cartoon programs, which affects badly children’s attitudes and language because they are not able to distinguish between good or bad and reality or fantasy aspects of cartoon content. Children watch cartoon characters and they try to imitate and use aggressive attitudes at home and school. Children are induced and attracted by violent content by broadcasters and children act accordingly. The researcher adopted a survey research design to explore deeply the cause-and-effect relationship among the variables. The targeted population of this study was the parents of these cartoon-watching children who use to watch long hours daily in Karachi. 100 children’s mothers were randomly selected from ten private schools at the Pre-Primary level of Central District, Karachi. Five-point Likert scale questionnaire was used to collect the data. Findings show the impacts of violence presented in cartoons on children’s behavior. They not only imitate their favorite cartoon characters, and use aggressive attitudes at home and school.

The Effect of Smartphone Use on Children's Behaviour and Attitudes

The 21st -century technological advances, especially the Internet-based services, have tremendeaously changed our lives. Young children today have easily access to smartphones and gadgets and their dependence on them is relatively high. There is no denying that technology has greatly helped educators and learners in carrying out remote and distance learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, this has also opened the doors for the children to several inappropriate online applications such as tik-tok, YouTube, and online games. Recently, it was found that the content shown in various games that children were playing were unsuitable for them and some even triggered aggression and indifferent attitude towards parents. This study investigated the relationship between children’s addiction to smartphone use with particular focus on Android users and their general attitudes and behaviour. A systematic literature review was conducted for related articles published between 2017 and 2021 on lens.org and between 2016 and 2021 in DOAJ. Based on the results, the researchers recommend parents to assist their wards while they’re using a smart phone or a computer, limit their use of gadgets, establish gadget-free areas, and teach them the importance of self-restraint.&#x0D; Keywords: Android generation, moral formation, COVID-19 pandemic

Democratic Regime in Myanmar and the Rights of the Rohingya Community

Abstract The right of ethnic minorities, particularly those of the Rohingyas, have been continually and repeatedly denied in Myanmar. When Aung San Suu Kyi’s party came into power, the right of various ethnic groups, especially the rights of Rohingyas during Suu Kyi’s regime were violated. Unfortunately, the conditions for the Rohingya have continued to worsen. The findings of this research show that the human rights of Rohingya in Myanmar were challenged during Aung San Suu Kyi’s so-called democratic regime via ethnic cleansing owing to the absence of real democratic norms, unequal treatment, and state-sponsored violations of human rights against the Rohingya community. The key reasons behind the failure to ensure the rights of the ethnic Muslim minority include militarism in the democratic structure, a lack of democratic institutions, international politics and the interest of powerful countries, a lack of democratic culture, and an aggressive attitude towards the Rohingya. Finally, the paper proposes some policy implications.
