Support and control during childbirth and attachment after birth in mothers referring to comprehensive health centers in Bijar, 2019

Childbirth is one of the most important experiences in the life of mothers, which can bring tensions and worries due to physical and psychological changes. Therefore, the present study was conducted to determine the amount of support and control during childbirth and attachment after birth in mothers who were referred to comprehensive health centers in Bijar County, in 2019. In this descriptive-analytical study, the studied population consisted of all the mothers who were referred to the comprehensive health centers of Bijar, who had passed 28 days after giving birth. The participants in the study were available to choose and completed the questionnaires for support and control during childbirth and attachment after birth. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS statistical software version 22 and multiple regression statistical tests, and a significance level of p<0.05 was considered. The results of the study showed that the level of support and control during childbirth was 83.32±17.038 and the level of attachment after birth was 47.70±4.688. Also, the results of the study showed that none of the investigated demographic variables were related to support and control during childbirth. The type of delivery (vaginal delivery with episiotomy r=-2.226, p=0.012) and the baby's gender (r=9.927, p=0.047) were related to support and control during delivery. Also, the results showed that among the demographic variables examined with attachment after birth, the variable of income (equal to monthly expenses r=6.307, p=0.01) had a positive and significant relationship with attachment after birth. The findings showed that support and control are at a moderate level and attachment after birth is at an average level, so it seems that with the necessary training on the importance of mother and child attachment to medical personnel, an effective step can be taken to improve these two factors and their consequences.

Investigating the Effect of Welding Fume in Pulmonary Function of Welders in an Automobile Industry.

Respiratory exposure to welding fumes directly or indirectly, in the long run, can lead to systematic effects among welders. This study aimed to investigate respiratory symptoms and pulmonary function parameters among welders working in the automotive industry. This cross-sectional study was performed among 2304 workers from two groups in the manufacturing and administrative staff (as exposure and control groups). Pulmonary function parameters and respiratory symptoms were collected through periodic spirometry examinations and a standard respiratory symptoms questionnaire. Exposure to welding fumes was obtained from the annual measurement data based on the NIOSH7300 method. Data were analyzed using SPSS software version 22 and linear and multiple regression statistical tests. The mean age of the subjects in the case and control groups were 37.5 and 38.5 years, respectively. All the apparent symptoms of respiratory diseases (cough, sputum) in the welder's group were more than in the control group. Also, there was a significant difference between the respiratory symptoms in the two groups (P < 0.001). The mean value of all spirometric parameters (FVC, FEV1, FEV1/FVC, FEF25-75, PEF) in the case group (welders) was significantly lower than the control group. The results of this study revealed that the variables of age and work experience effectively reduce all spirometric parameters of welders. Also, regarding the effect of metal vapors, a significant relationship has been seen between Cu in welding fume and FEF25-75 and FEV1 spirometric parameters.

Relationship Between School Autonomy and Students’ Academic Achievement in Government Secondary Schools in East Hararghe Zone, Oromia Regional State, Ethiopia

The aim of school autonomy is to improve the education quality by independence and flexibility in managing existing resources. Regardless of this trend, amazingly little is known about how schools use autonomy in practice, and there were many controversies regarding the relationship between school autonomy and students’ academic achievement. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine the magnitude of relationship between the areas of school autonomy and students’ academic achievement in the secondary schools in the study area. The study employed adescriptive-correlational survey research design with a mixed methods approach. A total of 522 respondents (secondary school principals n=20, teachers n=347, and zone and district education office experts n=155) were used as samples. The sample schools were selected by stratified random sampling and the respondents were selected by simple random sampling using RAND or RANDBETWEEN function on Microsoft Excel. Closed-ended questionnaires were employed for gathering quantitative data from the respondents, and concurrently telephone interview and document analysiswere conducted to collect the qualitative data. The Pearson correlation and multiple regression statistical tests were used to measure and describe the significance of the association (or relationship) between the variables or sets of scores. Moreover, t-test was also conducted to test the difference between the teachers and experts. Analysis of the results demonstrated that majority of the respondents perceived school autonomy positively. Moreover, even though the flow of improvement was not constant, it seems that there were few improvements in students’ academic achievement as a result of the practices of school autonomy. The findings also show that there were a number of constraining factors of school autonomy in the study area. The overall conclusion drawn from the results of this study was that: granting autonomy to secondary schools may be the best idea for the better performance of educational systems in the study area along with removing the constraining factors such as lack of training, knowledge, directives/guidelines and school facilities, and financial corruption. Furthermore, similar to many of the developed countries, practice of school autonomy in developing countries was also one of the means to improve students’ academic achievement. Therefore, it can be recommended that the national, regional and district education authorities and researchers have to focus on implementation of the school autonomy along with building the capacity of the school leaders.

Radiographic assessment of third molars development and it's relation to dental and chronological age in an Iranian population.

The aim of the present study was to estimate chronological age based on third molar development and to determine the association between dental age and third molar calcification stages. In this cross-sectional study, 505 digital panoramic radiographs of 223 males (44.2%) and 282 females (55.8%) between the age of 6 and 17 were selected from patients who were treated in Departments of Pediatrics and Orthodontics of Isfahan University of Medical Sciences between the years of 2009 and 2013. Correlation between chronological age and third molar development was analyzed with SPSS 21 using Spearman's Rank correlation coefficient, Chi-square test and multiple regression statistical tests (P < 0.05). All third molars demonstrated a highly significant correlation with dental age (P < 0.001). The teeth showing the highest relationship with dental age were mandibular left third molar in males and mandibular right third molar in females (r s = 0.072). When multiple regression was used to predict dental age based on molar calcification stage, the only significant correlation was between maxillary left third molar in males (P < 0.05). There was no statistically significant correlation for any of third molars in females. Relationship between chronological age and molars development stage was significant in all age subgroups and in both gender (P < 0.001). Strong correlation was observed between left third molars and dental age in males. Results showed that third molar calcification stage can be used as an age predictor and in general mandibular teeth seems to be more reliable for this purpose in both genders and in all ages.

Pengungkapan Intellectual Capital, Reputasi Underwriter dan IPO Underpricing

This study examines the effect of Intellectual Capital Disclosure and Underwriter Reputation to IPO Underpricing the company public on Indonesia Stock Exchange 2007-2012. The Results of research on the observation period there was 80% of companies experiencing IPO underpricing. Underpricing phenomenon is deliberately done to get the attention of the company's stock price increases in the first day listing or may occur due to information asymmetries between issuers and underwriters among and investors who have information about the issuer's prospects.

This suggests that the higher intellectual capital disclosure can reduce IPO underpricing, as well as a good underwriter reputation can reduce IPO underpricing.&#x0D; Keywords: IPO underpricing, intellectual capital disclosure, underwriter reputation, infor-mation asymmetries

Active Learning through Modeling: Introduction to Software Development in the Business Curriculum*

ABSTRACTModern software practices call for the active involvement of business people in the software process. Therefore, programming has become an indispensable part of the information systems component of the core curriculum at business schools. In this paper, we present a model‐based approach to teaching introduction to programming to general business students. The theoretical underpinnings of the new approach are metaphor, abstraction, modeling, Bloom's classification of cognitive skills, and active learning. We employ models to introduce the basic programming constructs and their semantics. To this end, we use statecharts to model object's state and the environment model of evaluation as a virtual machine interpreting the programs written in JavaScript. The adoption of this approach helps learners build a sound mental model of the notion of computation process. Scholastic performance, student evaluations, our experiential observations, and a multiple regression statistical test prove that the proposed ideas improve the course significantly.
