TOEFL has been provided as a standardized test to measure the English proficiency of non-native speakers. However, one thing should be considered that TOEFL is still a big challenge for non-native English learners, especially for EFL learners. This is one of the factors, related to how proficient the vocabulary knowledge which students have. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate to what extent the relation between vocabulary knowledge, breadth and depth, and TOEFL test, especially reading subtest session. Participants of this study were undergraduate English students who never took a TOEFL preparation course. To help analyze data, IBM SPSS 24 version with Spearman rank correlation analysis was used to make it more precise. The result of Spearman rank correlation analysis revealed that there was a significant correlation among the variables. This result supports some previous studies focusing on the same topic.

Abstract Objective: Few studies have investigated the psychological impact throughout a major epidemic, such as COVID-19. This study aimed to evaluate the psychological state of individuals experienced quarantine and to provide evidence to reduce the impact of quarantine after COVID-19.Methods: A questionnaire-based survey conducted by using an internet site using 631 individuals who lived in China in the year 2020. Spearman rank correlation analysis was used for the data analysis.Results: Approximately 9.97% of the study participants reported that they did not feel good about his or her health condition. Approximately 50.16% of participants had experienced various levels of anxious and nervous feelings. Approximately 5.91% of participants reported anxious or nervous feelings almost every day. By using the spearman rank correlation analysis, we observed that anxious and nervous feelings appeared to be correlated with the frequency of receiving negative news, current health situation and time spent on receiving information related to COVID-19.Conclusion: A long-term quarantine is likely to have some level of impact on health conditions among relatively healthy individuals. The survey study may suggest that government and hospital workers should pay close attention to the psychological change experienced by quarantined individuals.

Background: Secreted frizzled-related protein 2 (sFRP2) plays an important role in metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular diseases (CVDs); However, its relevance with cardiometabolic diseases remains to be elucidated. We aimed to determine the serum levels of sFRP2 in patients at different stages of heart failure (HF) with or without type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and assess the correlation between circulating sFRP2 levels and cardiometabolic risk factors.Methods: In this study, serum samples from 277 patients visiting Zhongshan Hospital affiliated to Fudan University were collected. These patients were clinically diagnosed and categorized as five groups, including the control group, pre-clinical HF group, pre-clinical HF+T2DM group, HF group and HF+T2DM group. Serum sFRP2 levels were measured with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) tests and the clinical characteristics of each patient were recorded. Spearman rank correlation analysis and multiple stepwise linear regression analysis were conducted. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis were performed to screen risk factors for HF in patients with CVDs.Results: Serum sFRP2 levels were significantly lower in the HF+T2DM group compared with the other four groups. Spearman rank correlation analysis showed that sFRP2 was negatively correlated with parameters including patients' age, fasting plasma glucose (FPG), glycated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), cardiac troponin T (cTNT), N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), left atrial dimension (LAD) and left ventricular posterior wall (LVPW), and positively correlated with hemoglobin, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), albumin, total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). However, in multiple regression analysis, significant associations with ln(sFRP2) were observed only in FPG, hs-CRP and LAD. Higher serum sFRP2 was significantly linked to lower odds of HF in patients with CVDs.Conclusion: sFRP2 progressively decreased when glucose homeostasis and cardiac function deteriorated. sFRP2 acted as a risk factor for HF in patients with CVDs, especially in those with concomitant T2DM.

Abstract Context 11β-Hydroxyandrostenedione (11OHA4), 11β-hydroxytestosterone (11OHT), and their respective peripheral derivatives, 11-ketoandrostenedione (11KA4) and 11-ketotesosterone (11KT), have been implicated in androgen-related physiopathology. Little is known of these steroids in postmenopausal women or whether exogenous testosterone therapy influences their levels. Objective The impact of exogenous testosterone on serum levels of 11-oxygenated steroids was determined in healthy postmenopausal women. Participants and Methods Levels of 19-carbon (C19) steroids were measured by liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry in serum obtained at baseline and at 12 and 26 weeks from 73 healthy postmenopausal women, aged 55 to 65 years, who participated in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial assessing the effects of transdermal testosterone on cognitive performance. Results Of the 11-oxygenated androgens, 11OHA4 was the most abundant (median, 6.46 nmol/L; range, 1.51 to 23.82 nmol/L), with concentrations several fold greater than its precursor androstenedione (median, 1.38 nmol/L; range, 0.52 to 2.92 nmol/L). Baseline median (range) testosterone and 11KT levels were similar [0.56 (0.23 to 1.48) nmol/L; 0.85 (0.25 to 2.86) nmol/L, respectively). 11OHT was closely correlated with 11KT (Spearman rank correlation coefficient, 0.79; P < 0.001) and 11OHA4 correlated with 11KA4 (Spearman rank correlation coefficient, 0.73; P < 0.001). Testosterone therapy resulted in an increase in serum testosterone level, whereas all 11-oxygenated androgens remained unchanged throughout the 26 weeks of treatment. Conclusion After menopause, the adrenal production of 11-oxygenated derivatives of androstenedione and testosterone contributes importantly to the total circulating androgen pool. Exogenous testosterone does not influence the circulating levels 11-oxygenated C19 steroids.

This study aimed to obtain a more comprehensive analysis of sulfate concentration of in Sungai Batang Arau, Padang. In addition to concentration profile of sulfate, correlation analysis between sulfate and environmental parameters (flowrate-Q, temperature-T, pH, DO and electrical Conductivity-EC) and spatial variation analysis of sulfate along the river were also performed. The analysis showed sulfate concentration tended to increase from upstream to downstream. Sulfate concentrations ranged from 25.9 to 115.1 mg / L and were below the quality standard (400 mg / L). Spearman Rank Correlation analysis showed a relative strong correlation of sulfate and significant with Q (r=0.581, p=0.000), T (r=0.448, p=0.008), and DHL (r=0.411, p=0.008) and no correlation with pH (r=-0.194, p=0.231) and DO (r=-0.279, p=0.081). Result of spatial analysis with a one-way ANOVA at 95% confidence level indicated that there was no a significant variability of sulfate concentration at the sampling stations (p> 0.05) except for S1 with S7 and S8. Moreover, cluster analysis grouped 8 sampling stations into two clusters, low and moderate polluted, based on similarities of sulfate characteristics. Keywords: Batang Arau, sulfate, correlation analysis, spatial variation analysisABSTRAKPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk memperoleh gambaran yang lebih lengkap tentang konsentrasi sulfat dan parameter lingkungan (debit, Q; pH, temperatur, T; dissolved oxygen, DO; dan daya hantar listrik, DHL) di Sungai Batang Arau, Padang. Selain menyajikan profil konsentrasi dan membandingkannya dengan baku mutu pada Peraturan Gubernur Sumatera Barat No. 5 Tahun 2008, analisis korelasi antar parameter dan variasi spasial konsentrasi sulfat di sepanjang sungai juga dilakukan. Hasil analisis menunjukkan konsentrasi sulfat cenderung meningkat dari hulu ke hilir sungai begitu juga dengan parameter lingkungan. Nilai konsentrasi sulfat secara rata-rata berada pada rentang 25,9-115,1 mg/L dan berada di bawah baku mutu (400 mg/L). Analisis korelasi Rank Spearman menunjukkan bahwa parameter sulfat berkorelasi cukup kuat dan signifikan dengan Q (r=0,581, p=0,000), T (r=0,448, p=0,008), dan DHL (r=0,411, p=0,008) dan tidak berkorelasi dengan pH (r=-0,194, p=0,231) dan DO (r=-0,279, p=0,081). Analisis spasial dengan one-way ANOVA pada tingkat kepercayaan 95% menunjukkan perbedaan lokasi sampling tidak mengakibatkan perbedaan konsentrasi sulfat yang signifikan (p>0,05), kecuali antara titik S1 dengan S7 dan S8. Lebih lanjut, analisis spasial dengan menggunakan analisis klaster mengelompokkan titik sampling ke dalam dua klaster, yaitu klaster 1 yang terdiri dari titik S1 sampai titik S7 dan klaster 2 (S8) yang menggambarkan perubahan konsentrasi pencemar sulfat dari konsentrasi rendah ke konsentrasi sedang.Kata kunci: Batang Arau, sulfat, analisis korelasi, analisis variasi spasial

Abstract Hypertension is a current significant health problem in many countries. Indonesia also has a high prevalence of hypertension. Fatigue is a common symptom that often occurs in hypertensive patients. Unhealthy lifestyles may worsen the impact of hypertension. The study aimed to explore the relationship between fatigue and lifestyle among patients with hypertension. This was a descriptive correlational study with cross-sectional approach using 68 convenience samples in a general hospital of Central Sulawesi. The questionnaires were Multidimensional Assessment of Fatigue (MAF) and Health Promotion Lifestyle Profile II (HPLP II). Descriptive statistics and Spearman rank correlation were used to explore the relationships between variables and domains. Overall, lifestyle was correlated to fatigue (r=0,28, p<0.05). Hypertensive patients with higher degree of fatigue, performed a better lifestyle. More effective strategies such as health education, professional consultation, support and group sharing need to be done to improve the lifestyle of patients.
