A descriptive study of behavior of daily concentrations of ozone (O3) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) in the period from January 2017 to December 2019 was conducted with the purpose to describe air pollution in the south of the city of Quito. The data collected was processed using the Excel and SPSS v25. The statistical analysis included central tendency values, percentages of violation of the threshold limit value (TLV), maximum values and 25th, 75th and 95th percentiles. The correlation between pollutants was evaluated using the Spearman’s Rho coefficient. Multiple linear regression models were made for each pollutant and meteorological variables (wind speed and mean ambient temperature). Inverse moderate correlation was found between the contaminants analyzed. The daily and monthly concentrations of O3 and NO2 were lower than the TLV, therefore, the air quality in the period studied with respect to the analyzed pollutants is satisfactory.

Abstract - The purpose of this research was to know the effect of the Auditor Experience and the Auditor Ethics toward Audit Quality. The study was conducted using a survey method towards forty-five auditor who worked on thirteen public accountant firm in the city of Bandung. Data analysis was performed by multiple linear regression models. Hypothesis testing was done to determine whether there is any influence on the Auditor Experience and the Auditor Ethics towards the Audit Quality either simultaneously or partially. The test result indicates that simultaneously, the Auditor Experience and the Auditor Ethics are significantly affecting the Audit Quality. The test result also indicates that partially, either the Auditor Experience or the Auditor Ethics are significantly affecting the Audit Quality..Keywords: Auditor Experience, Auditor Ethics, Audit Quality.

This research purpose to determine the effect of office layout, work environment and work performance on the morale of the teaching workforce at Krian 2 Senior High School Sidoarjo. This type of study is a descriptive study with a quantitative approach with multiple linear regression models. The population in this study was the educational staff of Krian 2 Sidoarjo SMKS, which amounted to 57 employees, but researchers only took educational staff whose work was related to administration, this was adjusted to the research objectives. The sample in this study was purposive sampling. Researchers took 50 employees from 57 populations. The results showed that simultaneously the office layout, work environment, and work performance affect work spirit on the morale of the teaching staff at Krian 2 Sidoarjo SMKS, while partially each variable has a significant effect on the morale of the teaching staff at Krian 2 Sidoarjo SMKS

Offering credit is the main activity of a Bank. There are some considerations when a bank offers credit, that includes Interest Rates, Inflation, and NPL. This study aims to find out the impact of Variable Interest Rates, Inflation variables and NPL variables on credit disbursed. The object in this study is state-owned banks. The method of analysis in this study uses multiple linear regression models. The results of the study have shown that Interest Rates and NPL gave some negative impacts on the given credit. Meanwhile, Inflation variable does not have a significant effect on credit given. Keywords: Interest Rate, Inflation, NPL, offered Credit.

AbstractKnowledge about modifiable determinants of daily physical activity (PA) in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is crucial to design effective PA interventions. The present study aimed to determine the contribution of quadriceps strength, power and endurance to daily PA in COPD. Additionally, for quadriceps endurance, we also aimed to determine to what extent the association varies according to the mode of movement (isotonic, isometric, or isokinetic). Using a multicentre cross-sectional trial design we determined the contribution of quadriceps function to daily PA (steps, sedentary time and time spent doing moderate-to-very-vigorous physical activity [MVPA]) using bivariate and partial Pearson correlation analysis (r) and multiple linear regression models (ΔR2). Pre-determined controlling factors were sex, age, body mass index (BMI), COPD-assessment test, forced expiratory volume in one second in percent of the predicted value (FEV1pred), and distance walked on the 6-minute walk test. Eighty-one patients with COPD (mean ± SD: age 67 ± 8 years, FEV1pred 57 ± 19%, daily steps 4968 ± 3319, daily sedentary time 1016 ± 305 min, and MVPA time 83 ± 45 min) were included. Small to moderate bivariate correlations (r = .225 to .452, p < .05) were found between quadriceps function and measures of PA. The best multiple linear regression models explained 38–49% of the variance in the data. Isotonic endurance was the only muscle contributor that improved all PA models; daily steps (ΔR2 = .04 [relative improvement 13%] p = .026), daily sedentary time (ΔR2 = .07 [23%], p = .005) and MVPA-minutes (ΔR2 = .08 [20%], p = .001). Isotonic endurance was also independently associated with most PA variables, even when controlling for strength, power or isometric-isokinetic endurance properties of the muscle (r = .246 to .384, p < .05). In contrast, neither strength, power, isometric-or isokinetic endurance properties of the muscle was independently associated with PA measures when controlling for isotonic endurance (r = .037 to .219, p > .05). To conclude, strength, power, and endurance properties of the quadriceps were low to moderately associated with PA in patients with COPD. Isotonic quadriceps endurance was the only quadriceps property that was independently associated with the different measures of PA after controlling for a basic set of known determinants of PA, quadriceps strength or power, or isometric or isokinetic quadriceps endurance. Future longitudinal studies should investigate its potential as a modifiable determinant of PA.

Morphologic and mass measurements were taken on 24 complete white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) carcasses of varying ages and both sexes in southern Quebec. Each carcass was divided into three parts (skin, viscera, rest) to determine water, protein, fat, and ash content by chemical analyses. Fat content of carcasses varied between 0.8 and 17.4%. Multiple linear regression models were selected to predict carcass composition from morphologic and mass measurements. Two situations were considered: measurements taken at the laboratory on whole animals and measurements taken at field stations on eviscerated carcasses provided by hunters. All selected models can be applied to any deer without taking into account age or sex; they include 1 – 4 independent variables. For whole animals, adjusted R2 of models varied between 0.99 (water) and 0.89 (ash); models developed for field stations were less precise, the lowest R2 values being 0.82 and 0.73 for ash and fat, respectively. These models can be useful for research and management purposes.

The main objective of this study was to investigate the association between final-year students’ anxiety level and quality of life (QOL) with their academic achievements. A longitudinal study was performed in regular schools and in high-rated gymnasiums at the beginning and at the end of the school year. Multiple linear regression models were built for the association between level of anxiety/QOL with academic achievements. Type of school and gender—but not the level of anxiety—were the main predictors of academic achievements of 287 adolescents (e.g., for mathematics, the effect estimates were: β = −1.71 [95% confidence interval −2.21; −1.21]; β = −0.50 [−0.95; −0.06], β = 0.09 [−0.02; 0.20] for the type of school, gender, and changes in level of anxiety, respectively). To conclude, particular efforts should be made to reduce the level of anxiety in girls, especially those that study in high-rated schools.
