The profession's present interest in the topic of spirituality initiated the decision to undertake this study, which aimed to investigate the extent to which occupational therapists consider clients' spiritual needs as part of their domain. The objectives of the study were to ascertain whether this was part of the occupational therapist's role and to identify the ways in which occupational therapists addressed the spiritual needs of their clients. Six senior II occupational therapists participated in semi-structured interviews. The participants felt that all individuals have spiritual needs, although not all would recognise or acknowledge them as such. All the participants considered spiritual care to be part of their role, but there was some uncertainty regarding the relationship of spiritual care to occupational therapy in general. Spiritual needs were addressed by a listening and holistic approach.

A questionnaire survey was sent to 2,000 occupational therapists and certified occupational therapy assistants to gather data on perceptions of the state of the profession and its educational system. Eight hundred and eleven questionnaires were returned and analyzed with a Kruskal-Wallis one-way analysis of variance. The results of two sections of the questionnaire are presented here. These results suggest that, in general, therapists feel that the status of occupational therapy should be improved and that the education of occupational therapists should change. However, there are significant differences of opinion about what should be done to improve the status of the profession and what changes should be made in education. These differences are related to subgroups in the profession. This article presents an overview of some of the differences in perceptions of the profession and its educational system according to two variables—academic degree held and years in practice.

We explored WeChat use intensity and possible addiction level among Yemeni international students in China, including the impact of their gender and educational level on WeChat use, and the relationship of WeChat intensity and addiction with academic performance. Participants were 427 Yemeni international students in China randomly invited to participate in an online survey. Results revealed that (a) both gender and educational level had a significant impact on participants’ WeChat use intensity and WeChat addiction; (b) WeChat use intensity, WeChat addiction, and academic performance significantly correlated with one another; and (c) WeChat addiction fully mediated the relationship between WeChat use intensity and academic performance. These findings enrich social networking site studies by providing evidence of the impact of WeChat use intensity on the academic performance of international students.

Abstract Background: Early marriage practice in Indonesia is more often found in rural than in urban areas. Objective: The aim of this study is to examine the relationship of socioeconomic status and early marriage in rural areas in Indonesia. Method: This study used data from the 2017 Indonesian Demographic Health Survey. The sample was 2,252 of women aged 19 – 24 living in rural Indonesia. The variables included in the analysis were early marriage status, socioeconomic status, educational level, and working status. Analysis of collinearity, chi-square, and multiple logistic regressions were conducted in this study. Results: The socioeconomic status and educational level were significantly associated with early marriage among women aged 19 – 24 in rural Indonesia. The poorest socioeconomic women were 2.23 times more likely to experience early marriage than the richest women. Poorer women were 1.68 times more likely to experience early marriage than the richest women. Women who did not go to school, having primary to secondary level of education were more likely to experience early marriage than those having tertiary level, constituting for 10.34 times, 12.10 times and 4.52 times, respectively. Educational level was more dominant in relation to early marriage than socioeconomic status. Conclusion: Socioeconomic status and educational level are associated with early marriage. Poor young women with low educational level in rural areas should be the focus of the program target to reduce the coverage of early marriage in Indonesia. Keywords: rural area, women, early marriage, socioeconomic.   Abstrak Latar belakang: Praktik pernikahan dini di Indonesia lebih sering ditemukan di wilayah perdesaan dibandingkan perkotaan. Tujuan: Studi ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis hubungan status sosioekonomi terhadap kejadian pernikahan dini di perdesaan di Indonesia. Metode: Studi ini menggunakan data Survei Demografi Kesehatan Indonesia tahun 2017. Sampel yaitu 2.252 perempuan 19 – 24 tahun yang tinggal di perdesaan Indonesia. Variabel yang dianalisis meliputi pernikahan dini, status sosioekonomi, tingkat pendidikan, dan status bekerja. Analisis yang digunakan yaitu uji collinearity, chi-square, dan regresi logistik ganda. Hasil: Status sosioekonomi dan tingkat pendidikan berhubungan secara signifikan dengan pernikahan dini pada perempuan 19 – 24 tahun di perdesaan Indonesia. Perempuan paling miskin memiliki kemungkinan lebih tinggi 2,23 kali untuk mengalami pernikahan dini dibandingkan perempuan paling kaya. Perempuan miskin memiliki kemungkinan lebih tinggi 1,68 kali mengalami pernikahan dini dibandingkan perempuan paling kaya. Perempuan yang tidak sekolah, pendidikan SD-SLTP, dan SLTA memiliki kemungkinan lebih tinggi mengalami pernikahan dini dibandingkan lulusan perguruan tinggi, berturut-turut sebesar 10,34 kali, 12,10 kali, dan 4,52 kali. Faktor tingkat pendidikan lebih dominan hubungannya dengan pernikahan dini dibandingkankan dengan faktor status sosioekonomi. Kesimpulan: Status sosioekonomi dan tingkat pendidikan berhubungan dengan pernikahan dini. Remaja putri miskin dengan tingkat pendidikan rendah di perdesaan harus menjadi fokus sasaran program penurunan cakupan pernikahan dini di Indonesia. Kata Kunci: perdesaan, perempuan, pernikahan dini, sosioekonomi.

This paper describes a study undertaken to determine the relationship of interviewing skills to age, educational level and intelligence in a class of paraprofessional mental health technicians. These technicians were trained at the U.S. Army Medical Field Service School at Fort Sam Houston, Texas in the fiscal year 1968. The study indicates that skill in interviewing, as determined by scores obtained on an interview rating guide, are not significantly related to age, educational level or intelligence in the group investigated.

Biologic Factors

The Mesozoic-Cenozoic coral Order Scleractinia has been suggested to have originated or evolved (1) by direct descent from the Paleozoic Order Rugosa or (2) by the development of a skeleton in members of one of the anemone groups that probably have existed throughout Phanerozoic time. In spite of much work on the subject, advocates of the direct descent hypothesis have failed to find convincing evidence of this relationship. Critical points are:(1) Rugosan septal insertion is serial; Scleractinian insertion is cyclic; no intermediate stages have been demonstrated. Apparent intermediates are Scleractinia having bilateral cyclic insertion or teratological Rugosa.(2) There is convincing evidence that the skeletons of many Rugosa were calcitic and none are known to be or to have been aragonitic. In contrast, the skeletons of all living Scleractinia are aragonitic and there is evidence that fossil Scleractinia were aragonitic also. The mineralogic difference is almost certainly due to intrinsic biologic factors.(3) No early Triassic corals of either group are known. This fact is not compelling (by itself) but is important in connection with points 1 and 2, because, given direct descent, both changes took place during this only stage in the history of the two groups in which there are no known corals.

Insight Into

Echinodermata is a phylum of marine invertebrates which has been extant since Cambrian time (c.a. 500 m.y. before the present). Modern examples of echinoderms include sea urchins, sea stars, and sea lilies (crinoids). The endoskeletons of echinoderms are composed of plates or ossicles (Fig. 1) which are with few exceptions, porous, single crystals of high-magnesian calcite. Despite their single crystal nature, fracture surfaces do not exhibit the near-perfect {10.4} cleavage characteristic of inorganic calcite. This paradoxical mix of biogenic and inorganic features has prompted much recent work on echinoderm skeletal crystallography. Furthermore, fossil echinoderm hard parts comprise a volumetrically significant portion of some marine limestones sequences. The ultrastructural and microchemical characterization of modern skeletal material should lend insight into: 1). The nature of the biogenic processes involved, for example, the relationship of Mg heterogeneity to morphological and structural features in modern echinoderm material, and 2). The nature of the diagenetic changes undergone by their ancient, fossilized counterparts. In this study, high resolution TEM (HRTEM), high voltage TEM (HVTEM), and STEM microanalysis are used to characterize tha ultrastructural and microchemical composition of skeletal elements of the modern crinoid Neocrinus blakei.

Electron microscopy has proved to be an invaluable discipline in studies on the relationship of viruses to the origin of leukemia, sarcoma, and other types of tumors in animals and man. The successful cell-free transmission of leukemia and sarcoma in mice, rats, hamsters, and cats, interpreted as due to a virus or viruses, was proved to be due to a virus on the basis of electron microscope studies. These studies demonstrated that all the types of neoplasia in animals of the species examined are produced by a virus of certain characteristic morphological properties similar, if not identical, in the mode of development in all types of neoplasia in animals, as shown in Fig. 1.

The Relationship

In RBL-2H3 rat leukemic mast cells, crosslinking IgE-receptor complexes with anti-IgE antibody leads to degranulation. Receptor crosslinking also stimulates the redistribution of receptors on the cell surface, a process that can be observed by labeling the anti-IgE with 15 nm protein A-gold particles as described in Stump et al. (1989), followed by back-scattered electron imaging (BEI) in the scanning electron microscope. We report that anti-IgE binding stimulates the redistribution of IgE-receptor complexes at 37“C from a dispersed topography (singlets and doublets; S/D) to distributions dominated sequentially by short chains, small clusters and large aggregates of crosslinked receptors. These patterns can be observed (Figure 1), quantified (Figure 2) and analyzed statistically. Cells incubated with 1 μg/ml anti-IgE, a concentration that stimulates maximum net secretion, redistribute receptors as far as chains and small clusters during a 15 min incubation period. At 3 and 10 μg/ml anti-IgE, net secretion is reduced and the majority of receptors redistribute rapidly into clusters and large aggregates.
