Purpose of the study: This quantitative research investigates the effects of smartphone addiction on family communication. Research Methodology: The sample size (N=200) consists of 100 males and 100 females. The participants have been divided into three groups according to age, age group 18-20, age group 21-23, and age group 24-25. The sample has been selected by the purposive sampling technique. Smartphone Addiction Scale- Short Version (SASS-SV)has been used to measure smartphone addiction and Family Communication Scale (FCS) assesses the family communication of adults. For statistical analysis Statistical Package for Social Sciences(SPSS) version 23 software has been used. The relationship has been assessed using Pearson correlation and an independent sample t-test has been used to find meaningful differences. Main findings: The study concludes that there is no significant effect of smartphone addiction on family communication. Moreover age group (18-20) is more addicted to the smartphone than the other age groups. Application of the Study: The study will provide researchers with enough data and information related to smartphone addiction and family communication. Findings will also enable them to further explore the long-term use of smartphones in the joint family system. Innovation of the Study: Joint family system is the norm in Pakistan whose major part of the population comprises youth, ages between 18-20 years. No research on smartphone addiction in the perspective of family communication in a joint family system has yet been conducted in Pakistan to my knowledge.

Abstract This study put its interest in investigating parental reading beliefs and children’s reading performance. It also sought to determine whether there is an association between parental reading beliefs and children’s reading performance. This research employed a quantitative research design and it used a quota sampling technique to select the respondents. A total of 30 parents from Sekolah Kebangsaan Sungai Pusu Kuala Lumpur answered a questionnaire about parental reading beliefs. The questionnaire used was adapted from a study by DeBaryshe and Binder (1994). In order to measure the children’s reading performance, the parents were asked to state their children’s comprehension marks towards the end of the questionnaire. The questionnaire consisted of five factors related to parental reading beliefs which were teaching efficacy, positive attitude, verbal participation, reading instruction and basic knowledge. The data collected was analysed using Pearson Correlation. The results showed that all the factors under parental reading beliefs had positive relationship with children’s reading performance except for one factor which was reading instruction. All of them were not significant and as this study was a preliminary study, hence the results should not be generalised due to number of reasons.

Abstract The relation between age and sex and the concentration of bilirubin in serum was evaluated in 6740 men and 11 215 women, ages 13 to 96 years. Mean serum bilirubin concentrations in the men significantly exceeded values in the women over all age groups examined. Further, mean serum bilirubin concentrations were greatest both in males and females in the 19-24 years age group and then declined to former values, which persisted throughout life. Pearson correlation coefficients for bilirubin with liver function indices (albumin and total protein) and with hemoglobin were low in all ages and in both sexes, suggesting that bilirubin concentrations do not correlate with those liver functions not directly concerned with bile pigment processing.

The main purpose of this study is to examine the political communication behaviors of the participants covering the individuals from all segments by taking into consideration the demographic and internet related usage characteristics, regardless of a special election campaign. In order to meet the main purpose of the study, based on the quantitative research method, data were collected from a total of 531 participants in Aksaray, using a questionnaire formed from appropriate scales and questions according to the convenience sampling technique. Data were analyzed by various statistical techniques such as descriptive statistics, Pearson Correlation Analysis, Factor Analysis, One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and multi-way variance analysis (factorial ANOVA). The results revealed that the political communication behavior in social media consists of two sub-dimensions which include active and passive engagement behaviors. In addition, it has been determined that these political communication behaviors in social media do not differ according to demographic characteristics, but they differ according to some personal internet and social media usage characteristics. These results, in addition to their contribution to the conceptual literature, it is thought that political parties include clues about how they can effectively use social media as a tool in their communication efforts and marketing efforts.

The growing trade fair economy has motivated studies relating to trade fair planning, effectiveness, and evaluation, among others. However, limited studies have explored residents’ perception of socio-economic impacts of trade fairs on communities. Since residents’ negative attitude can affect sustainability of trade fairs, it is important for organisers to understand residents’ perception of the socio-economic impacts of such events. The present study investigated residents’ perceptions of the impacts of a regional trade fair in Ghana. Through a quantitative research design, a questionnaire survey of 447 residents of How as undertaken through a convenience sampling technique in public places and houses. Kruscal-Wallis One-Way ANOVA tests indicate that perceptions of residents did not vary by gender. The results further confirm the inconsistency of socio-demographic variables in explaining residents’ perception of event impacts. There was significant difference between age groups on some statements while others showed no difference. Generally, residents were positive toward the impacts of the fair.

Introduction: Greater left ventricular (LV) sphericity, a more globular shape, is associated with poor outcomes. Two measures of sphericity are commonly used: Linear sphericity (LinS) is the ratio of LV end-diastolic diameter (EDD) to 4-chamber length (4cL); volumetric sphericity (VolS) is the ratio of end-diastolic volume (EDV) to the volume of a sphere with diameter=4cL. We sought to compare LinS to VolS and to determine: 1) whether LinS and VolS differ with sex and age group; 2) normal values for LinS and VolS, 3) whether LinS and VolS are concordant in how they stratify individuals. Methods: 1794 adults (age 65±9y, 47.1% men) in the Framingham Offspring cohort underwent CMR imaging; LV EDD, EDV and 4cL were measured. A referent group (340M, 512W) free of clinical cardiovascular disease, hypertension, diabetes and smoking was identified. Among these, we compared LinS and VolS between sexes and across age groups (<55, 55-64, ≥65y). Referent-group upper 90 th percentile (P90) cutpoints for LinS and VolS were determined and applied to the entire cohort (N=1794) to stratify each individual as having or not having high sphericity. Concordance between LinS and VolS was assessed using kappa coefficient and McNemar’s test. Methods: LinS was greater than VolS for each sex, but there was robust, positive linear (Pearson) correlation between LinS and VolS for men (r=0.864) and women (r=0.855), p<0.0001 both. The Table shows women had minimally greater sphericity than men. Sphericity did not vary with age group in either sex. LinS and VolS were concordant in classifying individuals as having high (≥P90) sphericity with kappa=0.63 (men) and 0.62 (women), p<0.0001 for both. McNemar’s test for difference was not significant (p>0.27) for either sex. Conclusion: Linear and volumetric measures of LV sphericity are concordant in how they rank and stratify adults in a community dwelling cohort, but the measures are not directly comparable, as mean LinS is markedly greater than VolS. Neither measure of sphericity varies with age among healthy adults.

Category: Trauma Introduction/Purpose: Currently there is minimal focus on traumatic lower extremity amputations due to their relatively low incidence, but they often come with a higher morbidity and mortality than its upper extremity counterparts. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the incidence and trends of lower extremity amputations in the United States over a ten-year period. Methods: The National Electronic Injury Surveillance System (NEISS), was used for evaluation of lower extremity amputations that presented to the United States emergency departments. The overall incidence rate of lower extremity amputations within the United States was calculated as per 100,000 persons. After grouping mechanisms of injury, the data were stratified by both age groups and gender. Chi-square tests were used for direct comparisons of proportions. The five most common mechanisms were ranked for each age group and the most common overall age group for lower extremity amputations were determined using descriptive statistics. Trends for injury incidence and hospital admissions were evaluated using linear regression and Pearson correlation with Bonferroni correction. Results: From 2008 to 2017, 393 patients were reported to have sustained lower extremity amputations via the NIESS database with an estimated 11,475 patients sustaining a lower extremity amputation over the past ten years and an incidence of 2.2/100,000 person-years. The incidence of lower extremity amputations is highest in those less than five years old. Lawnmower incidents are the most common mechanism of injury in all age groups. Conclusion: Due to the high morbidity and mortality associated with these injuries, it is prudent to follow the trends in lower extremity amputations.
