The aim of this study was to analyse the relationship between child-to-parent violence (CPV) (high, moderate and low), peer victimization (PV) (relational and overt, both physical and verbal) and cybervictimization (CV) (relational and overt), taking into account the role of sex. 1304 adolescents (53.14% girls) between the ages of 11 and 18 enrolled at secondary schools in the Autonomous Communities of Valencia, Aragón and Andalusia participated in the study. Adolescents with high CPV scores obtained higher scores for all types of PV and CV compared to the other CPV groups. Boys scored higher than girls in overt physical PV and in overt CV and girls obtained higher scores in relational PV. A statistically significant interaction effect was observed; boys with high CPV scores reported greater overt CV. The results suggest the importance of CPV in relation to specific forms of PV and CV and highlight the need to take into account the different processes of family socialization between boys and girls to reduce the likelihood of adolescents being victimized.

Background: Studies suggest that residents tend to accept diagnostic suggestions, which could lead to diagnostic errors if the suggestion is incorrect. Those studies did not take into account that physicians in clinical practice will mainly encounter correct suggestions. The present study investigated residents’ diagnostic performance if they would first encounter a number of correct suggestions followed by a number of incorrect suggestions, and vice versa. It was hypothesized that more incorrect suggestions would be accepted if participants had first evaluated a series of correct suggestions. Method: Residents (n = 38) evaluated suggested diagnoses on eight written clinical cases. Half of the participants first evaluated four correct suggestions and then evaluated four incorrect suggestions (C/I-condition). The other half started with the four incorrect suggestions followed by the correct suggestions (I/C-condition). Results: Our findings show that the evaluation score in the C/I condition (M = 2.87, MSE = 0.14) equaled that in the I/C condition (M = 2.66, MSE = 0.14), F(1,36) = 1.09, p = 0.30, ns, meaning that consistency in preceding suggested diagnoses did not influence the tendency to accept subsequent diagnostic suggestions. There was, however, a significant interaction effect between case order and phase, F(1,36) = 11.82, p = 0.001, ηp2 = 0.25, demonstrating that the score on cases with correct suggestions was higher than the score on cases with incorrect suggestions. Conclusion: These findings indicate that consistency in preceding correct or incorrect diagnostic suggestions did not influence the tendency to accept or reject subsequent suggestions. However, overall residents still showed a tendency to accept diagnostic suggestions, which may lead to diagnostic errors if the suggestion is incorrect.

An experimental study was designed to test whether task composition, people composition, or their interaction affected various aspects of group process, e.g., satisfaction, influence, conflict, communication, etc. Each composition variable was varied according to homogeneous or heterogeneous characteristics resulting in a 2 × 2 design. 18 groups of 5 persons each were distributed in the 4 cells and responded to a decision-making task. The results indicate a significant interaction effect between task and people composition, suggesting that the effect of each on group process is dependent on the state of the other, although task composition had the dominant impact in this study.

The purpose of the present study was to explore whether there is any relation between insecurity feeling and tolerance level of university students. The Bangla version of Insecurity Questionnaire and Tolerance level scale were used. Results showed that mean of private university students showed more insecurity than public university students; 1st year student had more insecurity than 2nd year to 4th year and Ms students. A significant interaction effect was found between types of university and study year and types of university and types of family and according to insecurity feeling. On the other hand, mean of public university was more than private university; Ms student had more tolerance level than 1st year and 2nd year to 4th year students. A significant interaction effect was found between types of university and study year according to tolerance level. Finally, result also showed significant negative correlation between insecurity and tolerance level.

<p>Buah biwa (Eriobotrya japonica) sangat baik untuk kesehatan tubuh dan dapaat digunakan sebagai bahan baku obat-obatan. Budidaya tanaman biwa di tingkat petani saat ini masih bersifat tradisional, sehingga produksinya masih rendah dan belum dapat memenuhi kebutuhan konsumen. Salah satu penyebabnya ialah keterbatasan informasi mengenai penggunaan pupuk yang efektif dan efisien pada pembudidayaannya. Penelitian bertujuan mengetahui pengaruh pemberian pupuk N, P, dan K pada tanaman biwa. Penelitian dilakukan di Kebun Percobaan Tanaman Buah Berastagi dengan ketinggian tempat 1.340 m dpl., dengan jenis tanah Andisol, yang dilaksanakan dari bulan Januari sampai dengan Desember 2006. Percobaan menggunakan rancangan  acak kelompok pola faktorial dengan dua ulangan. Perlakuan terdiri atas tiga faktor yakni : N (0, 180, dan 360 kg/ha), P (0 dan 36 kg/ha), dan K (0, 180, dan 360 kg/ha). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan adanya  interaksi NxP dan NxK terhadap pertambahan tinggi tanaman pada umur 6 dan 8 bulan setelah pemberian pupuk pertama.Tidak ada interaksi NxP yang nyata terhadap pertambahan diameter batang, namun ada interaksi NxK yang nyata terhadap pertambahan diameter batang pada umur 4, 6, dan 8 bulan setelah pemberian pupuk pertama. Taraf dosis pupuk N:P:K (360:36:180) kg/ha menghasilkan pertumbuhan vegetatif tanaman biwa (tinggi tanaman, diameter batang, serta jumlah tunas) yang lebih baik dari perlakuan lainnya. Hasil analisis daun biwa memperlihatkan bahwa kandungan hara N, P, dan K   terbesar dalam daun yang ditemukan pada perlakuan dosis pupuk N:P:K (360:36:180) kg/ha. Implikasi dari penelitian ini adalah sebagai pedoman pemupukan pada budidaya biwa.</p><p> </p><p>Loquat fruits is very good for human health. Furthermore, it can be used as the raw material for some medicines. Until now the loquat cultivataion is still traditionally practiced by farmers, so its production is still very low and can not fulfill consumers demand. One of the reasons is that the information of effective and efficient fertilization is not available. The objective of the research was to determine the effect of  N, P, and K fertilizers on the growth of loquat. The research was conducted at Berastagi Experimental Fruit Farm, at altitude of 1,340 m asl, with  Andisol soil type, on January to December 2006. A randomized block design was used with two replications. The research consisted of 18 treatments combination with three factors i.e. N (0, 180, and 360 kg/ha), P (0 and 36 kg/ha), and K (0, 180, and 360 kg/ha). The results showed that there were significant interaction effects of NxP and NxK to plant height on 6 and 8 months after the first fertilizer application. The significant interaction effect of NxK was also stem diameter on 4, 6, and 8 months after the first fertilizer application. The  dosage of N:P:K (360:36:180 kg/ha) exhibited better vegetative growth of loquat (plants height, stem diameter, and number of shoots) compared to other treatments. The analysis of loquat leaves indicaated that the content of N, P, and K nutrients on leaves was higher on the fertilizer dosage of N:P:K = 360:36:180 kg/ha  compared to the other fertilizer treatments.Implication of the research is to guide fertilizing on loquat cultivation.</p>

Job insecurity during a restructuring: associations with engagement and emotional exhaustion Job insecurity during a restructuring: associations with engagement and emotional exhaustion N. De Cuyper, Y. Handaja & H. De Witte, Gedrag & Organisatie, volume 21, June 2008, nr. 2, pp. 97-112 The present study aims to investigate subjective and objective job insecurity in relation to well-being (engagement and emotional exhaustion). Subjective job insecurity concerns employees' perceptions of uncertainty with regard to the future of one's present job. Objective job insecurity relates to one's position in the downsizing process: workers are objectively secure when they are informed about dismissal ('victims') or guaranteed a position in the company ('survivors'). They are objectively insecure when the decision about possible dismissal is pending. We hypothesize that subjective and objective job insecurity are positively related, and that both forms of job insecurity are negatively related to well-being. Furthermore, we explore interactions between subjective and objective job insecurity in relation to well-being. Hypotheses are tested among 129 employees who are employed in a Belgian service organization that was in the midst of a downsizing process. The results show no clear relationship between subjective and objective job insecurity. Subjective job insecurity is related to poor well-being, but objective job insecurity is not. Finally, we find a significant interaction effect for emotional exhaustion: subjective job insecurity was particularly harmful for survivors, while it did not seem to affect the other groups.

This paper is a contribution to the growing literature on the role of projective identification in understanding couples' dynamics. Projective identification as a defence is well suited to couples, as intimate partners provide an ideal location to deposit unwanted parts of the self. This paper illustrates how projective identification functions differently depending on the psychological health of the couple. It elucidates how healthier couples use projective identification more as a form of communication, whereas disturbed couples are inclined to employ it to invade and control the other, as captured by Meltzer's concept of "intrusive identification". These different uses of projective identification affect couples' capacities to provide what Bion called "containment". In disturbed couples, partners serve as what Meltzer termed "claustrums" whereby projections are not contained, but imprisoned or entombed in the other. Applying the concept of claustrum helps illuminate common feelings these couples express, such as feeling suffocated, stifled, trapped, held hostage, or feeling as if the relationship is killing them. Finally, this paper presents treatment challenges in working with more disturbed couples.

There was a significant interaction effect between the variety and the sowing date for the number of productive tillers, indicating that the response to sowing date varied with the variety. A significant reduction in the number of productive tillers became evident when sowing was delayed till 26 June in the straggling variety as compared to sowing dates in May. Lower numbers of productive tillers were also recorded when the sowing of the erect variety was further delayed till 10 July. The grain yield data showed that it is not advisable to sow the straggling variety later than 12 June, while sowing may continue till about 26 June for the erect variety in the study area.

The relationship between the filter media and the behaviour of anaerobic bacteria was studied using anaerobic fixed-bed reactors. At an HRT of 48 hours, the number of suspended acidogenic bacteria was higher than those attached to the filter media. On the other hand, the number of attached methanogenic bacteria was more than ten times as higher than that of suspended ones. The numbers of suspended and deposited acidogenic and methanogenic bacteria in the reactor operated at an HRT of 3 hours were almost the same as those in the reactor operated at an HRT of 48 hours. Accumulation of attached bacteria was promoted by decreasing the HRT of the reactor. The number of acidogenic bacteria in the reactor packed sparsely with the filter media was higher than that in the closely packed reactor. The number of methanogenic bacteria in the sparsely packed reactor was lower than that in the closely packed reactor.

The role of infrastructure in encouraging transportation cycling in smaller cities with a low prevalence of cycling remains unclear. To investigate the relationship between the presence of infrastructure and transportation cycling in a small city (Lethbridge, AB, Canada), we interviewed 246 adults along a recently-constructed bicycle boulevard and two comparison streets with no recent changes in cycling infrastructure. One comparison street had a separate multi-use path and the other had no cycling infrastructure. Questions addressed time spent cycling in the past week and 2 years prior and potential socio-demographic and psychosocial correlates of cycling, including safety concerns. Finally, we asked participants what could be done to make cycling safer and more attractive. We examined predictors of cycling using gender-stratified generalized linear models. Women interviewed along the street with a separate path reported cycling more than women on the other streets. A more favorable attitude towards cycling and greater habit strength were associated with more cycling in both men and women. Qualitative data revealed generally positive views about the bicycle boulevard, a need for education about sharing the road and for better cycling infrastructure in general. Our results suggest that, even in smaller cities, cycling infrastructure may encourage cycling, especially among women.

The present study investigated whether perception of receiving emotional support mediates the relationship between one partner’s giving of emotional support and the other partner’s depressive symptomatology using a population-based sample of 423 couples from the Changing Lives of Older Couples study. A path model was used guided by the Actor—Partner Interdependence Model. Results indicated that spouses’ giving emotional support was related to the degree to which their spouse reported receiving emotional support. Perception of receiving emotional support, in turn, was related to lower depressive symptomatology of the support recipient. Both husbands and wives can benefit from emotional support through their perception of receiving emotional support, and spouses’ perceptions, as well as their actions, should be considered in support transactions.
