The Relationship

Introduction: Drinking alcohol before sleeping (Ne-Zake) or in the morning (Mukae-Zake) is occasionally seen in Japan although it is well known that drinking alcohol have some negative effects on sleep. There have been studies which indicated that alcohol worsen sleep quality and quantity however few which investigated how alcohol before sleeping and no which noticed on how alcohol in the morning affects. The purpose of this study is to verify the relationship between Ne-Zake and/or Mukae-Zake and insomnia adjusting the influence of quality and frequency of drinking on the relationship. Hypothesis: We assessed the hypothesis that there is a significant association between Ne-Zake and/or Mukae-Zake and sleeplessness but this association can be confounded by quality and frequency of drinking. Method: Seven hundred and forty-six farmers who underwent annual medical checkups were analyzed. Ne-Zake was defined as “drinking as a sleeping aid” and Mukae-Zake was defined as “drinking in order to get calm down or to fix hungover”. Athene Insomnia Scale (AIS) was used to evaluate objective sleeplessness. AIS consists of 8 questions, which were evaluated from 0 (no sleeplessness) to 3 points (severe sleeplessness), asking the sleeping status in the previous 2 weeks. Insomnia was defined by AIS point more than 6. We conducted the multivariable logistic analysis, setting the presence of insomnia as a dependent variable and the presence of Ne-Zake and Mukae-Zake, quantity of alcohol at one time, frequency of drinking, sleeping related diseases (sleep apnea syndrome, restless leg syndrome, narcolepsy, limb movement disorder, depression), gender, and age as independent variables. Results: Among a total of 746 farmers (mean age 59.5 years; 74.1% men), insomnia, Ne-Zake, and Mukae-Zake were observed in 151 (20.2%), 140 (18.8%) and 37 (5.0%), respectively. Adjusted odds ratios (95% Confidence Intervals) of Ne-Zake and Mukae-Zake were 1.75 (1.07-2.88) and 3.01 (1.41-6.42). The association of Ne-Zake was consistent between men and women but that of Mukae-Zake was stronger in men than in women. (P-values for interaction = 0.98 and 0.03, respectively). Conclusion: Both Ne-Zake and Mukae-Zake had statistically positive significant association with insomnia independent of quantity and frequency of drinking. It may indicate that the timing of drinking alcohol has a stronger relationship with insomnia than quantity and frequency of drinking does. The feature of farmers’ lives in which they can decide their life style might give more opportunities to have Ne-Zake and/or Mukae-Zake than groups with well-scheduled working environment. This result can be utilized to improve farmers’ further physical and psychological health related to alcohol by encouraging to pay attention to not only the quantity or frequency of alcohol drinking but also the timing in a day.

The study aimed to explore the negative effects of using smart devices on the physical and psychological health of children aged (13-16) years from their perspective. The study was applied to a random sample of children aged (13-16), consisting of (102) male and female students. The descriptive method was used to answer the study questions, and a questionnaire was developed to collect data, which contains (3) sections, first section asked about the most used and preferred devices by children aged (13-16) years, and the number of hours the child used the smart device, the second one asked about the negative effects of using the smart devices on the physical and psychological health of children aged (13-16) years from their perspective, and the third section is an open question to know other negative effects of using the smart devices on the physical and psychological health of children aged (13-16) years. The study achieved a set of results, such as the smartphones are the most used and preferred devices by children aged (13-16) years, where (57%) of the study sample preferred to use, and there is  (86.3%) of children aged (13-16) use these devices at average from 4 up to 6 hours daily.  The responders highly agreed upon the negative effects of the use of smart devices on the physical health with average (4.2); which is a high degree, also the responders highly agreed upon the negative effects of  the use of smart devices on the physiological health with average  is  (3.73) which is also high,  added there are other effects caused by the use of smart devices for long hours on  children aged (13-16); the low rate of family discussions, and causes the low writing skills for child.   Depending on the results of the study, the researcher recommends that:  researchers should conduct a correlative study to know the relationship between the effects and the number of hours of daily use of devices; families should rationalize the use of smart devices.

AbstractResearch investigating Karasek's (1979) Demand–Control Model (D-CM) has produced mixed results relating to the stress-buffering effects of job decision latitude, or job control, on employee adjustment. Cited reasons for these mixed results include the way control is operationalised and also the potential effects of secondary moderators in the relationship among job demand, job control, and employee adjustment. Towards addressing these issues, the present study assessed the secondary moderating effects of subjective fit with organisational culture and values in the D-CM. Participation in decision-making was used as the measure of job control. Moderated multiple regression analyses revealed three significant interactions in a sample of 119 employees. The results revealed a three-way interaction between role overload, participative control, and subjective fit on physiological symptoms and psychological health. Further analyses demonstrated a significant interaction between role conflict, participative control, and subjective fit on intentions to leave. In all interactions, participative control buffered the negative effects of the stressors on levels of employee adjustment only when employees' subjective fit with the organisational values was high. The theoretical importance and practical implications of the results are discussed.

The Relationship

This chapter discusses how within-group variability is as important a component to understanding the relationship between stigma and health outcomes as between-group variability. The chapter offers a framework that proposes that people’s expectations, beliefs, attitudes, goals, and self-regulatory competencies interact with one another, as well as with people’s cultural environment, to yield individual differences in response to perceived discrimination. The chapter reviews a set of individual difference constructs that have been shown to affect physical and psychological health-related outcomes. Throughout the chapter, we emphasize that individual differences can arise not only through differences in how much a given construct characterizes a person but also through differences in the relationships among the constructs themselves as well as differences in the environment. The broad goal is to reconcile individual variability with group-level differences.

The Relationship

The article examines the impact of various socio-economic and financial indicators on the resilience of Russian regions. For each region, the integral index of resilience is calculated, and its correlation dependence with the selected indicators is revealed. The study confirms the relationship between fiscal resilience and socio-economic resilience of the regions. The analysis of panel data for 75 regions from 2007 to 2016 shows that there are significant differences in the dynamics of indicators in different periods. In particular, the degree of exposure to the negative effects of the crises of 2008—2009 and 2014—2015 in non-resilient regions is higher than in resilient ones.

This paper is a contribution to the growing literature on the role of projective identification in understanding couples' dynamics. Projective identification as a defence is well suited to couples, as intimate partners provide an ideal location to deposit unwanted parts of the self. This paper illustrates how projective identification functions differently depending on the psychological health of the couple. It elucidates how healthier couples use projective identification more as a form of communication, whereas disturbed couples are inclined to employ it to invade and control the other, as captured by Meltzer's concept of "intrusive identification". These different uses of projective identification affect couples' capacities to provide what Bion called "containment". In disturbed couples, partners serve as what Meltzer termed "claustrums" whereby projections are not contained, but imprisoned or entombed in the other. Applying the concept of claustrum helps illuminate common feelings these couples express, such as feeling suffocated, stifled, trapped, held hostage, or feeling as if the relationship is killing them. Finally, this paper presents treatment challenges in working with more disturbed couples.

The Relationship

There are many factors that can lead to internship satisfaction. Working environment is one of the factors that will result to such outcome. However, many organizations discarded the fact of its importance. The purpose of this study is to determine whether there is a significant relationship between working environment and internship satisfaction level as well as to determine whether the dimensions of working environment significantly affect internship satisfaction. The said dimensions are, learning opportunities, supervisory support, career development opportunities, co-workers support, organization satisfaction, working hours and esteem needs. A total of 111 questionnaires were distributed to the respondents and were processed by SPSS program to obtain the result of this study. The results reveal that learning opportunities, career development opportunities, organization satisfaction and esteem needs are factors that contribute to internship satisfaction level. In the other hand, supervisory support, co-workers support and working hours are factors that lead to internship dissatisfaction. The result also shows that organization satisfaction is the strongest factor that affects internship satisfaction while co-workers support is the weakest.
