Developmental Analysis

This study was aimed to ascertain the impact of lockdown and service conditions on daily hassles and depression from a developmental perspective.It was contended that (1) variation in each would cause variation in the magnitude of daily hassles and depression (2) employed women would feel more hassles and depression as compared to those who were only homemakers and (3) the period of lockdown would evince more depression as compared to pre- lockdown period. 240 participants ranging between 30- 50 years of age were taken into consideration and they were held from Almora and Haldwani,cities of Uttarakhand. Participants were arranged according to the requirements of 2x2x2 factorial design with 2 levels of age ( 30-35 years and 45-50 years), 2 types of service conditions (employed and unemployed), and 2 types of the time period (pre-lockdown and during lockdown) i.e.30 participants per cell.Depression scale by Shamim & Tiwari and Daily hazels scale by Shukla & Joshi were used. Data collection was done individually/ in-group as for the availability of the participants. Data were analyzed by 3-way Analysis of Variance and it was noted that depression and daily hassles were increased with advancing age and during the lockdown period. Moreover, it was also found that employed women faced more depression and daily hassles as compared to homemakers. Findings were interpreted in terms of chronological age,service conditions,and time period as effectors of daily hazels and depression. At last, recommendations were made to minimize the magnitude of daily hazels and depression in women.

The purpose of the current study was to explore the impact of motivation on teachers and students to use L1 in the L2 classroom. To find out an obvious understanding of this subject matter, the study focused on the 156 teachers and the 577 students who were teaching and learning English at graduation level in different public sector colleges and universities of the Southern Punjab, Pakistan. Two questionnaires were used for data collection. The data were analyzed through SPSS (statistical package for social sciences). Data were analyzed using descriptive analysis, Analysis of variance (ANOVA), T-Test and Cronbach's alpha. The results of the study indicated that the learners and the teachers showed highly positive perceptions regarding the use of L1 in the L2 classroom. The majority of the respondents preferred using L1 in certain situations for specific reasons such as while learning about grammar and its usage in the L2 classroom, discussing course policies, attendance, and other administrative information, explaining some difficult concepts, to give directions about exams and in introducing the aim of the lesson, to discuss tests, quizzes, and other assignments appropriately at BS level

The Impact

Background and context: The Ibadan cancer registry is a population based registry that actively recruits cases of cancer occurring in eleven local government areas in Ibadan and its environs in Southwest, Nigeria. The registry covers a catchment area with a documented population of 2,549,265. Cases are abstracted from the main teaching hospital, designated private hospitals and clinics representing active practices, National Population Commission and private laboratories. We observed a decline in numbers of cases registered compared with what was projected and moved to effect corrections to this decline. In addition to reviewing our usual sources, we enlisted more sources of case recruitment. Aim: This study was done to assess the impact of additional sources of data collection on the number of cases recorded in the registry. Strategy/Tactics: The registry had improved contact with the local Ministry of Health and local governments administration, identified new facilities that treat cancer patients and new histopathologic laboratories that diagnose cancers. Program/Policy process: The registry enlisted cases from thirty (30) sources during 2009-2012 time period. In the 2013-2016 period, the registry improved the data collection sources to sixty (60) due to good advocacy, improved collaborative effort with our partners and very active case finding. Outcomes: A total of 3116 cases were recorded in the registry during the period 2009-2012. This increased to 3744 in the period 2013-2016 giving a 20% increase in the number of abstracted cases in the latter period. The ranking order of cancer in the population we serve changed from breast, cervix and prostate cancers in 2009-2012 to breast, prostate and cervix in the second time period. The ranking order in both genders did not change significantly. What was learned: Changes in health providing facilities affect the recruitment of new cancer cases into the database of cancer registries. Furthermore, cancer registries must always improve the database of sources where cases are recruited, as this is dynamic. Good advocacy, very active case finding and improved relation with the community have increased the number of cases of cancer recorded in our registry.

The Impact

The subject matter of the article relates to the assessment of the perception of selected types of risk in economic activities of the SME sector, which change their intensity as a result of the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. The current economic downturn is unprecedented and involves many companies and industries that have faced new, previously unknown challenges and threats. The objective of the article is to identify the most important risks and their resources based on the empirical research carried out in small and medium-sized enterprises in Poland. The formulated objective was accomplished using the data collection method, i.e., the survey and reports on the condition of the SME sector in Poland as well as statistical data analysis methods, i.e., structure index and the analysis of variance, using the SPSS system. The process of primary data collection was carried out by means of an electronic survey among selected enterprises of the SME sector, conducting business activities in Poland. In the study, the employment factor was taken into account as a determinant of the perception and assessment of the intensity of selected risks arising from the economic activity in the Polish market in the conditions of the current economic downturn. On the basis of the obtained results, the impact of market, economic, financial and operational risks, depending on their intensity, on the functioning of micro-, small and medium-sized enterprises was identified. Based on the analysis of variance, the effect of the size of the company on the level of individual risks was also examined. As a result of the observations made, it was established that, during the pandemic, the level and type of risk is similar in all the surveyed enterprises. They are most often threatened by strong competition in the industry, an increase in energy prices and insufficient profit. The overall results of the empirical research indicate the importance and the need to manage the key threats to the Polish SME sector.

Background: Epigenetic modifications appear to be dynamic and they might be affected by environmental factors. The possibility of influencing these processes through psychotherapy has been suggested. Objective: To analyse the impact of psychotherapy on epigenetics when applied to mental disorders. The main hypothesis is that psychological treatments will produce epigenetic modifications related to the improvement of treated symptoms. Methods: A computerised and systematic search was completed throughout the time period from 1990 to 2019 on the PubMed, ScienceDirect and Scopus databases. Results: In total, 11 studies were selected. The studies were evaluated for the theoretical framework, genes involved, type of psychotherapy and clinical challenges and perspectives. All studies showed detectable changes at the epigenetic level, like DNA methylation changes, associated with symptom improvement after psychotherapy. Conclusion: Methylation profiles could be moderating treatment effects of psychotherapy. Beyond the detected epigenetic changes after psychotherapy, the epigenetic status before the implementation could act as an effective predictor of response.

The EU’s 2018 Bioeconomy Strategy Update and the European Green Deal recently confirmed that the bioeconomy is high on the political agenda in Europe. Here, we propose a conceptual analysis framework for quantifying and analyzing the development of the EU bioeconomy. The bioeconomy has several related concepts (e.g., bio-based economy, green economy, and circular economy) and there are clear synergies between these concepts, especially between the bioeconomy and circular economy concepts. Analyzing the driving factors provides important information for monitoring activities. We first derive the scope of the bioeconomy framework in terms of bioeconomy sectors and products to be involved, the needed geographical coverage and resolution, and time period. Furthermore, we outline a set of indicators linked to the objectives of the EU’s bioeconomy strategy. In our framework, measuring developments will, in particular, focus on the bio-based sectors within the bioeconomy as biomass and food production is already monitored. The selected indicators commit to the EU Bioeconomy Strategy objectives and conform with findings from previous studies and stakeholder consultation. Additionally, several new indicators have been suggested and they are related to measuring the impact of changes in supply, demand drivers, resource availability, and policies on sustainability goals.

Abstract The incidence of vaccine-preventable diseases remains high among older adults in the US, despite longstanding immunization recommendations, and is projected to increase as the population ages. The impact of US population aging on the burden of four vaccine-preventable diseases (influenza, pneumococcal disease, shingles, and pertussis) was modeled over a 30-year time horizon, with cumulative direct and indirect costs increasing from $378 billion over 10 years to $1.28 trillion over 30 years. Compared to current levels of vaccination coverage, increasing coverage was predicted to avert over 33 million cases of disease and greater than $96 billion in disease-associated costs, with a corresponding increase in vaccination costs of approximately $83 billion over the entire 30-year time period. Specific examples of cost-effectiveness analyses that assess the epidemiologic and economic impact of vaccination against shingles and pertussis in older adults will be discussed.

Background: Medicare reimbursement trends across multiple surgical subspecialties have been analyzed; however, little has been reported regarding the long-term trends in reimbursement of hand surgery procedures. The aim of this study is to analyze trends in Medicare reimbursement for commonly performed hand surgeries. Methods: Using the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Physician and Other Supplier Public Use File, we determined the 20 hand surgery procedure codes most commonly billed to Medicare in 2016. Reimbursement rates were collected and analyzed for each code from The Physician Fee Schedule Look-Up Tool for years 2000 to 2019. We compared the change in reimbursement rate for each procedure to the rate of inflation in US dollars, using the Consumer Price Index (CPI) over the same time period. Results: The reimbursement rate for each procedure increased on average by 13.9% during the study period while the United States CPI increased significantly more by 46.7% ( P < .0001). When all reimbursement data were adjusted for inflation to 2019 dollars, the average reimbursement for all included procedures in this study decreased by 22.6% from 2000 to 2019. The average adjusted reimbursement rate for all procedures decreased by 21.92% from 2000 to 2009 and decreased by 0.86% on average from 2009 to 2019 ( P < .0001). Conclusion: When adjusted for inflation, Medicare reimbursement for hand surgery has steadily decreased over the past 20 years. It will be important to consider the implications of these trends when evaluating healthcare policies and the impact this has on access to hand surgery.
