Art is an essential component of human life. It is a necessary discipline in the educational system of every society and is considered a professional field because it requires skills and mental capabilities to be presented as a concept. Most importantly, artistic concepts are created for evaluation. Hence, feedbacks are integral to creative art. The primary objective of the current study was to examine the artistic motivation of fine art students based on social feedback. One hundred and six (n = 106) students enrolled in fine and applied art departments in tertiary institutions in Kogi State, Nigeria, were employed as the studys participants. Data were collected using self-report measures. The simple linear regression analysis performed on the data established a positive correlation between social feedback and artistic motivation. The study concludes that social feedback is an essential component of artistic creativity.

Multivitamin Use

Introduction: A multivitamin (MV) is the most commonly taken supplement in older U.S. adults. Arterial stiffness is an important intermediate marker of cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, few studies have examined the association of MV use and arterial stiffness. Hypothesis: Regular multivitamin use is associated with lower levels of arterial stiffness. Methods: A subcohort of participants enrolled in the COcoa Supplement and Multivitamin Outcomes Study (COSMOS), a large scale randomized clinical trial testing a MV and a cocoa extract supplement on CVD and cancer, completed baseline measurement of arterial stiffness assessed by pulse wave velocity (PWV), augmentation index (AI), and central blood pressure (CBP). Frequency and duration of MV use was assessed via self-report questionnaire at baseline. The cross-sectional association of MV use and arterial stiffness was evaluated by multivariate linear regression with adjustment for conventional CVD risk factors. We also performed subgroup analyses to evaluate effect modification between MV use and sex, age, body mass index (BMI), and hypertension. Results: A total of 470 (229 women and 241 men) COSMOS participants were included in this study, with mean age 69.1±5.2 years, of whom 150 (32%) reported current MV use at baseline. Multivariate linear regression analysis revealed that current MV use (yes versus no) was significantly associated with lower PWV (β:-0.59±1.02, p=0.004) but not associated with other measures of arterial stiffness, including AI or CBP. There were also no consistent associations between frequency and duration of MV use with any of the measures of arterial stiffness. Also, there was no effect modification by sex, age, BMI, or hypertension on the association between MV use and arterial stiffness. Conclusions: MV use was associated with lower PWV in older subjects. Further results from the COSMOS trial on randomized MV supplementation and changes in arterial stiffness over 2 years will further elucidate the effects of MV on arterial stiffness.

The Senses

This chapter summarizes the contents of the previous chapters and discusses what might be considered particularly Epicurean about Philodemus’ theories. In short, Philodemus’ views on poetry can be traced in part to Epicurean commitments regarding (i) the irrationality of the senses, (ii) how language functions, (iii) their empiricism, and (iv) education, including ethics and theology. In addition, Philodemus’ views on poetry reflects the Epicurean view that philosophy is the only truly worthwhile activity. There is no unified Epicurean theory of fine arts, and poetry does not have any particular or special role to play in human life.

Born in Cincinnati, Isabel Bishop spent her childhood in Detroit, where she attended life-drawing classes at the John P. Wicker School of Fine Arts. In 1918, Bishop enrolled in the New York School of Applied Design for Women to study illustration, but transferred to the Art Students League in 1920. Bishop is associated with the realist painters of the Fourteenth Street School. She is best known for her depictions of young female office workers of the 1930s and 1940s, whom she observed as they navigated their way through Union Square (the location of Bishop’s first studio). Bishop, like other Fourteenth Street artists, sought to capture contemporary urban life. Her depictions of working women are notable for their time, as she did not glamorize them or transform them into sexualized stereotypes, but rather strove to portray these young, modern women as they traversed the city in daily life. Bishop was granted her first one-woman show in 1933 at the Midtown Galleries and in 1941 was elected to the National Academy of Design.

The Impact

Chronic pain is a serious public health problem that has grown exponentially in recent years, which is why it has received the attention of numerous researchers. Most of the studies in the field of chronic pain have focused on care as a mediating variable on the perception of painful stimuli and emotions. Nevertheless, there are very few studies that have gone in the opposite direction. This study’s aim is therefore to analyse the impact of emotional variables (anxiety and depression), the rating of pain, and age on vigilance processes in a sample of patients with chronic pain. To do so, the attentional performance of a cohort of 52 patients with chronic pain was measured through the use of a modified dot-probe task. Furthermore, all the participants were evaluated using the following self-report measures: Beck’s Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II), the McGill Pain Questionnaire, and the Pain Anxiety Symptoms Scale-20 (PASS-20). Stepwise multiple linear regression analysis revealed a significant negative correlation between the pain rating index and the number of mistakes the participants made during the attention test. There was also a positive and significant correlation with age and another negative and significant correlation with cognitive anxiety regarding the overall performance times during the undertaking of the experimental task. These results point to the importance of a more in-depth understanding of the impact that the emotional variables and other variables such as age have on attentional processes and the rating of pain. Finally, the discussion focuses on the implications these results could have for clinical practice or for future research studies in this field.

Introduction: The primary objective of financial managers is generally stated to be the maximization of shareholders’ wealth by increasing the firm value. This research was undertaken to investigate the effect of corporate financing decisions on firm value.   Method: A sample of 10 investment subsectors companies listed on Indonesia stock exchange for a period of 9 years from 2009-2017 was used. Data were sourced from annual reports of selected firms. The study uses price to book value (PBV) representing firm value for the dependent variable and the corporate financing was measured by Debt equity ratio representing for the independent variable. Ddescriptive analysis, correlation coefficient analysis, coefficient of determination, significance test, linear regression analysis was used for statistical technique for data analysis and hypothesis testing.   Result: The study revealed that there is a low significant relationship between financial leverage and firms’ value. It was found that an increase in financial leverage is negatively correlated with firm value.  Discussion: The conclusions of this study have practical implications for financial managers of Investment Subsector Companies to include a suitable amount of debt in their equity. The study therefore recommends that financial leverage be optimized by firms to aid maximization of firms’ value.

Abstract Background: Depression is highly prevalent and causes a heavy burden in adolescent life. Being praised for prosocial behavior might be a preventive factor because both being praised and prosocial behavior are protective against depression. Here, we investigated the longitudinal relationship between being praised for prosocial behavior and depressive symptoms in adolescents. Methods: In Tokyo Teen Cohort study (TTC), an ongoing prospective population-based cohort study, we collected 3,171 adolescents’ data on self-reported experiences of being praised for prosocial behavior, depressive symptoms, and caregiver-evaluated prosocial behavior. Ten-year-old children were asked to freely describe answers to the question “What are you praised for?”. Only children who clearly answered that they were praised for their prosocial behavior were designated the “prosocial praise group”. The degree of depression at ages 10 and 12 was measured with the Short Mood and Feelings Questionnaire (SMFQ), a self-report questionnaire about depression. Objective prosocial behavior of the 10-year-old children was assessed by the Strength and Difficulty Questionnaire (SDQ). Multiple linear regression analysis was performed using the SMFQ score at age 12 as the objective variable and being praised for prosocial behavior as the main explanatory variable, and the SMFQ score at age 10 and the objective prosocial behavior at age 10 were included as confounders.Results: Depressive symptoms (SMFQ scores) in the “prosocial praise group” were significantly lower than those in the other group both at age 10 (4.3 ± 4.4 vs 4.9 ± 4.6, p <0.001) and at age (3.4 ± 4.2 vs 4.0 ± 4.6, p <0.01). In the single regression analysis, the children who reported being praised for prosocial behavior at age 10 had significantly lower depressive symptoms at age 12 (partial regression variable: -0.57, 95% confidence interval (CI) [-0.96, -0.17]). This association remained significant after adjusting for confounders, including baseline depressive symptoms (partial regression variable: -0.44, 95% CI [-0.80, -0.08]). Prosocial behavior alone was not associated with depressive symptoms. Conclusions: Being praised for prosocial behavior rather than objective prosocial behavior at 10 years of age predicted lower depressive symptoms two years later. Praise for adolescents’ prosocial behavior can be encouraged to prevent depression.

Introduction: Effective diabetes pharmacotherapy often involves injectable medications, which if used inappropriately represents a type of unintentional medication nonadherence that leads to poor outcomes.  Objectives: The primary objective of this study was to assess the percent of patients who accurately prepared, administered, stored, and disposed of their injectable diabetes medication. Secondary objectives included comparing the accuracy of injectable use among those with diabetes <5 years vs. ≥ 5 years duration and those with limited vs. proficient health literacy. Methods: This was a prospective analysis conducted on a convenience sample of patients who received a pilot pharmacist-led, quality improvement service at an urban, ambulatory care clinic.  The service components included health literacy screening, using the Rapid Assessment of Adult Literacy in Medicine – Short Form (REALM-SF) tool, evaluation of injectable technique by use of a standardized questionnaire, and provision of medication education. Duration of diabetes was determined by patient self-report.  Chi-square and Fisher’s exact tests were utilized to assess accuracy of injectable technique in two group comparisons: (1) patients with limited vs. proficient health literacy and (2) patients with diabetes <5 years vs. ≥5 years. Results: Thirty-five patients were included in the analysis. Despite the majority (71.4%) of patients reporting prior education on injectable use, 54.3% reported at least one error in product use.  Significant findings noted were that those with limited health literacy had higher rates of accurately using the skin-fold technique and appropriate angle for injection vs. those with proficient health literacy (p<0.05 for both comparisons). Likewise, more patients in the cohort of diabetes duration ≥5 years accurately rotated the injection site vs. those with a duration <5 years (p=0.001).  Conclusion: Errors in injectable technique were common in this study and spanned across health literacy levels and duration of diabetes. Patients prescribed injectable diabetes medications should be routinely educated on proper technique for use.      Article Type: Original Research

Having a place in the concept of landscaping, which is an important factor in human life for integration with nature, garden art has shown a continuous development since its formation back in history. The first examples of garden styles in history were shaped with the effects of religious, philosophical, and mythological ideas. As in all branches of fine arts, garden art is nurtured by historical insights of style, and the reflections of cultural heritages are visible in all the designs that appear. It can be understood that the basis of the professional and modern garden designs is the historical gardens, and they show a development in that direction. In order to establish and document the historical formation and development processes of garden art, initially a definition of the concept of garden was made and the historical development of garden art was examined within the garden art styles of Antiquity, Middle Ages, Far East, Islamic, and British periods, in the research forming this study. After that, the Renaissance period garden style, meaning ‘rebirth’, which forms the detail of this study is examined with its historical development, its characteristics, and samples, in detail.
