AbstractPeople with tinnitus and/or hyperacusis often experience insomnia. However, it is unclear what factors are most strongly associated with insomnia.To explore factors related to insomnia in patients with tinnitus and/or hyperacusis.This was a retrospective study using multiple-regression analysis.Data were assessed for 444 consecutive patients who sought help concerning their tinnitus and/or hyperacusis from a specialist audiology center in the UK National Health Service. The average age of the patients was 54 years (standard deviation = 15 years).The results of audiological tests and self-report questionnaires were gathered retrospectively from the records of the patients. Multiple-regression analysis was used to assess the relationship between insomnia and other variables.Sixty-nine percent of patients with tinnitus experienced some form of insomnia as measured via the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI). A multiple-regression model showed that ISI scores were significantly associated with depression scores measured via the depression subscale of the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) (regression coefficient [b] = 0.44, p < 0.001), tinnitus annoyance measured via the visual analog scale (VAS) (b = 0.49, p = 0.001), anxiety measured via the anxiety subscale of the HADS (b = 0.21, p = 0.012), and tinnitus handicap measured via the Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (b = 0.07, p < 0.001). The model explained 45% of the variance in ISI scores. VAS scores for tinnitus loudness, hyperacusis-related measures, hearing thresholds, age, and gender were not significantly related to insomnia.The prevalence of insomnia in patients with tinnitus is high. Both tinnitus-related factors and psychological factors are related to the severity of insomnia. Hyperacusis is not significantly associated with insomnia.

Aggregate Concrete

Today, efforts are underway in a number of areas to conserve the environment and protect natural resource. In the construction industry, many researchers have studied the development of new concrete using recycled aggregate (RA). This research proposes a multiple regression model (MRM) for predicting the compressive strength of recycled aggregate concrete (RAC). The compressive strength data of 85 specimens of RAC strengths were used for constructing and evaluating the prediction model. The average error rate of the constructed MRM evaluation is 7.18 percent. This result will be useful for predicting the compressive strength of RAC using multiple regression analysis.

In this study, daily snowmelt was predicted using observed meteorological data and multiple regression analysis. Five observation stations (located in Daegwallyeong, Gwangju, Seosan, Mokpo, and Jeonju) were selected to analyze fresh snow depth from 2000 to 2010. The dependent variable used in the multiple regression analysis was daily snowmelt depth, and the independent variables were fresh snow depth, diurnal temperature range, temperature interception, diurnal humidity range, humidity intercept, and solar radiation. Seventy percent of the total observed data was used to develop a multiple regression model and the regression model was verified using the 30% of remaining data. The adjusted R-squared and Root Mean Square Deviation (RMSE) were used to examine the developed regression model. As a result, the adjusted R-squared was higher than 0.769 (except Daegwallyeong); thus the developed model represented well the daily snowmelt depth. Even Jeonju had an adjusted R-squared of 0.869. Also, the RMSE in all of the five stations was lower than 2.5 cm. The lowest value in Seosan was 1.7 cm. From the two types of verification, the developed multiple regression model was judged to be suitable to predict the daily snowmelt depth. However, multicollinearity should be explained, as rapid increases in temperature and sustained high temperature could not be reflected in the model. Therefore, if the limitations were resolved in further research, the model could be used to predict the amount of daily snowmelt depth more reliably.

Acceleration And Deceleration

The aim of this study was to examine the interrelationships between direct (sprint and change-of-direction [COD] velocities) and indirect measures (COD-deficit [CODD], deceleration deficit [DD], and sprint momentum) of speed-related performances in young badminton players. Thirty young male badminton players (age: 16.8 ± 1.4 years; body-mass: 61.5 ± 7.9 kg; height: 170 ± 5.8 cm) performed a 20-m sprint followed by 505 COD tests, on the same day. A Pearson product moment test was applied to determine the relationships among variables. A multiple regression analysis was used to verify whether the combination of CODD and DD increased the capacity to predict COD performance. Large and significant relationships were observed between COD and linear sprint velocity and sprint momentum ( r ranging from 0.62 to 0.84; P < 0.05). COD velocity revealed a moderate significant ( r  = −0.38) and a small non-significant ( r  = 0.29) relationship with CODD and DD, respectively. The multiple regression model combining CODD and DD explained 44% of the variance in COD performance. In summary, young badminton players who sprint faster are equally faster in COD manoeuvres but present higher levels of CODD and DD. Coaches should be aware that faster badminton players may exhibit greater magnitudes of CODD-DD, thus requiring specific interventions to optimize the transition between high deceleration and (re) acceleration phases.

Quantitative Correlational Study

Translating is not just a single activity that is done by measure of knowing SL and TL; it is a complex work in which many factors are involved. Among all factors that affect translators' renderings, Thinking Styles are those that make more challenge for the translators. Therefore, the researcher of this quantitative correlational study tried to find out whether there was any relationship between thinking styles and translation quality of thirty B.A. Translation students at Islamic Azad University Eslamshahr Branch based on Sternberg's (1999) theory of Thinking Styles and Waddington's (2001) model D of translation quality assessment. To this end, the Thinking Styles Inventory (TSI) as a self-report twenty four-item Likert scale questionnaire and four paragraphs as the Translation Product Test (TPT) were administered consecutively to evaluate the research question. To analyze the obtained data, Pearson product-moment correlational analysis and multiple regression analysis were accomplished. Based on the results, a null hypothesis was set stating that there is not any relationship between thinking styles and Translation quality of the undergraduate Translation students. As the results of the correlation analyses conducted, this null hypothesis was rejected, because the three thinking styles targeted had a positive correlation with the participants’ scores on translation quality. In addition, the results of multiple regression analysis indicated that the three thinking styles could cumulatively predict a significant amount of the variance in the participants’ scores on translation quality. The findings of the present study have important implications for translation theories, assessment, and training.

SummaryAll men receiving hospital orders (Section 60) in the UK in the year 1963–64 (excluding those receiving restriction orders (Section 60/65)) were followed up over 15 years with regard to (1) subsequent offences and convictions, (2) hospital admissions, and (3) death. Nine per cent of the patients involved could not be traced. Sixteen per cent had died by 1978, a quarter of them by suicide.Of the mentally ill only 4 per cent subsequently committed serious offences (manslaughter, wounding, GBH, robbery, rape or arson), although a further 4 per cent committed assaults repeatedly. Sex crimes were uncommon. Among the mentally subnormal, 7 per cent committed serious sex crimes subsequent to committal. A further 9 per cent were considered to be persistent sex offenders and another 9 per cent were judged to be persistently violent. In general the mentally subnormal were much younger and were detained for much longer than the mentally ill. Since 1964 the use of hospital orders for the detention of such people has become much less frequent.The best predictor of subsequent offences was found by multiple regression analysis to be the number of previous offences: this was especially true for acquisitive offences committed by the young. The mentally ill were less often reconvicted than the mentally subnormal.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to behaviorally validate the Rudeness Scale (RS), a self-report measure of the propensity to verbally abuse strangers, using both a retrospective design (Study 1) and a prospective design (Study 2). Design/methodology/approach – In Study 1, participants (n=280) completed an online survey that contained the RS and a retrospective checklist measure that assessed how often they had engaged in specific confrontational behaviors during the past year. In Study 2 (n=109), participants first completed an online survey that contained the RS and then later completed an experimental session in which they received, and immediately responded to, rude instant messages sent by another “participant.” Findings – In Study 1, a multiple regression analysis revealed that scores on the RS were positively associated (β=0.39) with scores on the retrospective checklist measure of ugly confrontational behaviors. In Study 2, a multiple regression analysis revealed that scores on the RS were positively associated (β=0.30) with the level of “retaliatory” rude behavior the participants displayed in their instant messaging conversation. Together, these findings reveal that people with high RS scores are more likely, first, to have acted in offensive and confrontational ways in the past (Study 1), and second, to act this way in the present (Study 2). Originality/value – Although previous studies have provided evidence for the convergent validity of the RS and established a preliminary personality profile of rude individuals, the present studies are the first to explore the behavioral validity of the scale.

Undergraduate Men

Little research has concerned criterion-related validity of heterosocial self-report inventories. 82 undergraduate men responded to the Survey of Heterosocial Interactions, Situation Questionnaire, and Dating and Assertion Questionnaire and also had heterosocial skillfulness rated during an analog interaction. Scores on the interaction survey correlated the highest ( r = .43) with ratings of global skill, and a four-variable regression model accounted for 31% of the ratings' variance. The significant relationships between these inventories and ratings of skill provide some evidence for criterion-related validity of these measures.
