The Relationship

This research investigated the relationship between perceived gender-role characteristics, satisfaction with leadership, and evaluation of leadership effectiveness. Subjects were 184 students in a first-year management course at a New Zealand polytechnic. A significant positive correlation obtained between perceived feminine and masculine characteristics and satisfaction with leadership, but results were mixed for the correlation of gender-role characteristics with effectiveness. Masculinity was perceived as effective for both male and female leaders, whereas femininity was perceived as effective only when shown by male leaders. Female subordinates perceived leaders as less effective when displaying feminine gender-role characteristics.

AbstractOur aim was to analyze a cohort of patients with childhood-onset growth hormone deficiency (GHD) to evaluate if there is some correlation between the response to GH treatment during childhood and adulthood, respectively. This was an observational retrospective monocentric cohort study of 47 patients treated with GH during childhood and adulthood. Changes in growth parameters during childhood were compared with the increase of IGF-I z-score and other indexes of GH response (body composition, lipid profile) after 1 year of treatment in adulthood. The only significant positive correlation was observed between final growth velocity during the last year of childhood GH treatment and increase in IGF-I z-score in GH-treated adults (r=0.592, p=< 0.01). No correlation was observed between growth-promoting effects of GH as child and metabolic changes induced by GH as adult. We also observed a negative correlation between weight at the end of childhood GH treatment and the IGF-I response during first year of treatment in adults (r=− 0.335, p <0.05). No significant positive correlation could be observed between the main parameters that evaluate response to GH treatment in children and adults. However, the final growth velocity, which may be considered as one of the main criteria of end of GH treatment in children, was identified as parameter that could predict future response to GH treatment in adulthood.

Objective To replicate and to extend a previous study examining the conversational skills of children with cleft lip and palate. Participants Thirty-four children (33 to 44 months) participated: 17 children with cleft lip and palate and 17 noncleft children. Methods The children were observed during an interaction with caregivers in their homes. Samples of caregiver-child interactions were coded as assertive or responsive, for type of conversational act, and for discourse level categories. Profiles of conversational activity were determined for each child based on the coding. Correlations were performed to examine the relationship between assertiveness and speech variables (articulation and resonance) for the children with cleft lip and palate. Results Group comparisons revealed that the children with cleft lip and palate produced fewer assertive utterances, were less likely to respond adequately to comments by caregivers, and produced more topic maintaining and fewer topic extending utterances than did their noncleft peers during conversational interactions. Examination of individual child data indicated that 35% of the children with cleft lip and palate exhibited conversational profiles characterized by either low assertiveness or low responsiveness. Finally, a significant positive correlation was noted between conversational assertiveness and speech production skills. Conclusion These findings suggested that the children with cleft lip and palate were less conversationally assertive than their noncleft peers. Further, there appeared to be a relationship between speech production skills and conversational skills, suggesting that poor speech may be impacting language performance for these children.

Objective: To investigate the relationship between established acute inflammatory markers in COVID-19 patients with Mean platelet volume (MPV) and Platelet large cell ratio (P-LCR). Materials and Methods: This was a retrospective longitudinal study conducted at Fauji Foundation Hospital, Rawalpindi from 10th June to 10th August 2020. Biochemical parameters i.e. CRP, serum ferritin, LDH, and pro-BNP as well as hematological parameters (MPV and P-LCR) were noted once every week during admission of all the COVID-19 positive patients.Data were analyzed using IBM-SPSS version 23. Repeated measure ANOVA using a generalized linear model was done to check the trend of values during the duration of their stay. Pearson Correlation analysis and regression models were estimated to check the relationship of MPV and P-LCR with C- reactive protein, serum Ferritin, LDH, and pro-BNP. P-values less than 0.05 were considered statistically significant. Results: The mean age of the studied group was 55.47 (SD=±15.0) years with the female to male ratio being 2:1. Mean platelet volume showed a statistically significant positive correlation with the established set of inflammatory markers other than pro-BNP with a p-value of less than 0.05.P-LCR however showed a positive correlation with CRP (p-value of less than 0.05) only with no significant correlation with other biochemical markers. Conclusion: MPV is reported on routine complete blood count report (CBC). It is readily available at even the most under-resourced health centers; therefore reporting the platelet indices does not require extra testing, sampling, or reagent cost. A statistically significant positive correlation amongst the established acute inflammatory markers and relatively understudied platelet indices (MPV) in COVID-19 provides a cost-effective, readily available, and time-efficient tool for marking disease progression.

Statistical investigation showed that correlation existed between the incidence of grass tetany and the mean 24-hr, temperature, particulary in spring and autumn. There was also a significant positive correlation between the K/(Ca and Mg) ratio in the grass and the incidence of tetany. During the spring and autumn, when the average temperatures were below 14 degrees C., an increase in K uptake by the herbage being grazed was associated with a rise in temperature, and was followed, after a 5-day time-lag, by an increase in the number of cases of tetany, if the critical value of K/(Ca + Mg) (2.2) was exceeded. A fall in temperature was followed by a fall in the ratio value and in tetany incidence. High summer temperatures were associated with a lower value for the ratio and only a few cases of tetany occurred. The results favour the theory that the relationship between temperature and the incidence of tetany is correlated with the cationic composition of the herbage grazed.

Facebook users in Indonesia dominated by adolescents in the age range 12 - 15 years. The usage of Facebook has negative effects, such as loneliness and cognitive distortion. The study aims to determine the relationship between loneliness and cognitive distortions in early adolescence Facebook users. Using revision of UCLA Loneliness Scale (ULS) – 8 (Hays & DiMatteo, 1987) and Briere’s (2000) Cognitive Distortion Scale (CDS), data was collected from 146 early adolescents, female and male, who studied at schools in East Jakarta, South Jakarta, North Jakarta, and Depok. Based on results of data analysis using Spearman Rank correlation. A significant positive correlation was obtained between loneliness and cognitive distortion on early adolescence Facebook users (r= .271, p< .005). It was supported by a significant positive correlation between dimension of cognitive distortion (self criticism, self blame, helplessness, hopelessness, and preoccupation with danger) and loneliness with correlation rate .234 – .308.

This study was planned to investigate the relationship between perceived multitasking ability and preferences, gender role attitudes, and marital adjustment of working individuals. It was also intended to explore the moderating effect of multitasking preference for the relationship between perceived multitasking ability and marital adjustment. Data was collected from a sample of 222 married working individuals i.e., (117 men and 105 women). Their ages ranged between 23-65 years (M = 38.75, SD = 9.20). Translated version (Kalsoom & Kamal, 2020) of Communication Specific Multitasking Measurement instrument (Kushniryk, 2008), translated (Kalsoom & Kamal, 2018) version of Multitasking Preference Inventory (Poposki & Oswald, 2010), translated (Nasreen, 2000) Version of Dyadic Adjustment Scale (Spanier, 1976), and indigenously developed (Anila & Ansari, 1992) Gender Role Attitudes Scale (Kamal & Saqib, 2004); was used to collect the data. Results showed significant positive correlation of perceived multitasking ability with marital adjustment and multitasking preferences. Gender role attitude was found positively correlated with multitasking preference and marital adjustment. The results also revealed multitasking preference as a moderator in predicting the relationship between perceived multitasking ability and marital adjustment. From these findings we may infer that higher multitasking preferences play an important role for perceived multitasking ability and marital adjustment of married working individuals.

This paper uses the 9741 internationally-operated Chinese companies and their matched companies in Shanghai and Shenzhen A-shares as a sample to empirically examine the relationship between financial environment, distance and international operation. First of all, the study found that there is a significant positive correlation between the financial environment and the international operation of the company. In other words, the better the financial environment in which the company is located, the more likely it is that the company will conduct international operations. Second, there is also a significant positive correlation between distances and international operations, which means that the closer the geographical location of the registered place of a company and the central city of the province, the more likely it is that the enterprises within the jurisdiction are operating internationally. Furthermore, the urban distance can produce a ‘regulatory effect’ between the financial environment and the international operation of the enterprise. That is the positive correlation between the financial environment and the international operation of the enterprise depends on the ‘city distance’. Considering the influence of ‘city distance’, the positive impact of the financial environment on international operations is even more pronounced.
