AbstractBackgroundChildhood abuse is a risk factor for poorer illness course in bipolar disorder, but the reasons why are unclear. Trait-like features such as affective instability and impulsivity could be part of the explanation. We aimed to examine whether childhood abuse was associated with clinical features of bipolar disorder, and whether associations were mediated by affective instability or impulsivity.MethodsWe analysed data from 923 people with bipolar I disorder recruited by the Bipolar Disorder Research Network. Adjusted associations between childhood abuse, affective instability and impulsivity and eight clinical variables were analysed. A path analysis examined the direct and indirect links between childhood abuse and clinical features with affective instability and impulsivity as mediators.ResultsAffective instability significantly mediated the association between childhood abuse and earlier age of onset [effect estimate (θ)/standard error (SE): 2.49], number of depressive (θ/SE: 2.08) and manic episodes/illness year (θ/SE: 1.32), anxiety disorders (θ/SE: 1.98) and rapid cycling (θ/SE: 2.25). Impulsivity significantly mediated the association between childhood abuse and manic episodes/illness year (θ/SE: 1.79), anxiety disorders (θ/SE: 1.59), rapid cycling (θ/SE: 1.809), suicidal behaviour (θ/SE: 2.12) and substance misuse (θ/SE: 3.09). Measures of path analysis fit indicated an excellent fit to the data.ConclusionsAffective instability and impulsivity are likely part of the mechanism of why childhood abuse increases risk of poorer clinical course in bipolar disorder, with each showing some selectivity in pathways. They are potential novel targets for intervention to improve outcome in bipolar disorder.

Abstract. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between the flight-related core competencies for professional airline pilots and to structuralize them as components in a team performance framework. To achieve this, the core competency scores from a total of 2,560 OPC (Operator Proficiency Check) missions were analyzed. A principal component analysis (PCA) of pilots’ performance scores across the different competencies was conducted. Four principal components were extracted and a path analysis model was constructed on the basis of these factors. The path analysis utilizing the core competencies extracted adopted an input–process–output’ (IPO) model of team performance related directly to the activities on the flight deck. The results of the PCA and the path analysis strongly supported the proposed IPO model.

The Company was founded with the goal of increasing the value of the company as well as to provide prosperity for the owners or shareholders. Good Corporate Governance and profitability is an effort to enhance company value. This study aims to determine the influence of good corporate governance to company value with profitability as intervening variable. The population of this research is manufacturing companies listed in Indonesia Stock Exchange in 2010 - 2014. The sample is taken by using purposive sampling method. Under this method, as many as 123 companies were obtained. The analysis tool to test the hypothesis is path analysis with AMOS software version 21. Data analysis method is descriptive analysis, path analysis, and sobeltest. The results of this study indicate that managerial ownership, the audit committee and the profitability have positive impact toward the of the company value, institutional ownership has positive impact but not significant, non-executive director with negative effect tendency on the company value. The results of this study also showed that profitability cannot mediate the effect of good corporate governance mechanisms on company value. It can be suggested to replace the intervening variable with other variables such as quality of earnings instead of profitability since it is declined as an intervening variable. non-executive director and institutional ownership does not contribute any positive and significant effect on company value and profitability. The following research can use another proxy in the measurement process and consider other theories that could explain comprehensively.

Salah satu faktor terpenting dalam pencapaian prestasi maksimal pada atlet sepaktakraw adalah dengan memiliki kondisi fisik yang dapat menunjang keterampilan khususnya keterampilan sepaksila dalam permainan sepaktakraw. Kelentukan yang baik dapat memudahkan atlet dalam meluweskan lipatan salah satu kaki ke atas saat melakukan keterampilan sepaksila, dibutuhkan kekuatan otot tungkai pada saat salah satu kaki yang menjadi tumpuan berat badan dan koordinasi mata kaki sangat dibutuhkan sebelum sesaat melakukan sepakan dalam permainan sepaksila.Jenis penelitian ini ialah penelitian deskriptif dengan menggunakan teknik analisis jalur (Path Analysis). Populasinya adalah atlet sepaktakraw Sulawesi Selatan yang termasuk dalam pembinaan Sulsel Maju II dan PPLP ( Pusat Pendidikan Latihan Pelajar) yang totalnya berjumlah 24 orang. Teknik penentuan sampelnya adalah sampel jenuh. Teknik anaslisa data yang digunakan adalah analisis statistik deskriptif dan analisis jalur dengan bantuan program computer SPSS 16.Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa (1) Atlet sepaktakraw Sulawesi Selatan memiliki kelentukan berpengaruh secara langsung terhadap koordinasi mata kaki sebesar 42,90%.(2) Kekuatan otot tungkai berpengaruh langsung terhadap koordinasi mata kaki sebesar 9,61%. (3) Kelentukan berpengaruh secara langsung dan tidak langsung terhadap keterampilan sepaksila pada permainan sepaktakraw sebesar 20,64%.
