Several studies in cows have shown that plasma levels of chloride are positively correlated with the diameter of the preovulatory follicle (FD), establishing at the same time a significant positive association between plasma levels and intraoviducal concentration of this electrolyte (Hugentobler et al. 2007). These relationships may reflect the influence of changes in systemic metabolic plasma on follicular fluid, physiological events that might be closely related to the quality of the oocyte and granulosa cells of the preovulatory follicle (LeRoy et al. 2004). However, these mechanisms remain unknown in the mare. The objective of this research was to investigate the relationship between plasma chloride concentrations and growth of FD during the ovulatory period in the Spanish purebred mares. This research was approved by the Animal Ethics Committee of the CEU-Cardenal Herrera University. A total of 30 reproductive cycling Spanish purebred mares, aged 4 to 17 years old, were studied. Plasma concentrations of chlorine and follicular growth (FD) were determined daily by extracting blood samples and monitoring of ovarian ultrasound all mares, from Day –5 to the day of ovulation. Plasma chloride concentrations were evaluated by an analyzer with selective electrodes Vetlyte® (IDEXX, Hoofddorp, the Netherlands). To analyse the effect of cycle day on FD and concentrations of chloride, ANOVA was used. The interrelations between both parameters were expressed by Pearson correlation coefficient. The FD increased significantly, from 27.02 ± 2.113 to 40.23 ± 1.377 cm, during the 5 days prior to ovulation. Plasma chloride decreased from 105.6 ± 0.928 mmol L–1 on Day –5 to 104.5 ± 0.128 mmol L–1 on Day –1, and increased significantly, to 107.4 ± 1.442 mmol L–1, on the day of ovulation. No significant correlations between FD and chloride concentrations (r = 0.21) were found. Unlike what happens in the cow, plasma chloride levels affect preovulatory follicle development in Spanish purebred mares to a lesser extent. Nevertheless, plasma chloride or any other electrolytes have some kind of involvement in the dynamics of growth and maturation of oocytes.

Religious orientation is an attitude toward religion or religious practices or an integrated set of attitudes and beliefs. As religion emphasizes moral codes designed to instil values such as helping, caring, emotional support and empathy in humans so, the study was designed to investigate the relationship between religious orientation and pro-social behavior of young female students. The study also examines the predicting role of religious orientation in the development of prosocial behavior in young female students. The non-probability purposive sampling technique has been used with correlational research design in order to collect data. Analysis was conducted on SPSS by using sample of N=150 young female students with age ranged 20-26 years (M=23.50, SD=3.43). The results showed religious orientation had significant positive association with pro-social behavior (r=.40, p>.00) in young female students. Meanwhile, the findings revealed that religious orientation was a significant positive predictor of prosocial behavior in young female students. The study implies that such types of religious orientation will develop more awareness in youth of the present era about the development of prosocial behaviors like charity and help to the needy.

This study is a correlation study with a cross sectional design. The sample in this study were the families of patients who were treated at the ICU at Banyumas Hospital as many as 32 respondents with purposive sampling technique. The analysis in this study used the Pearson correlation test. The results showed that there was no relationship between spiritual well-being and depression in the families of patients treated in the ICU room at Banyumas Hospital (p value 0.088 < 0.05). The better the spiritual welfare of the patient's family, the less the risk of experiencing depression when the patient is admitted to the ICU. Keywords: spiritual well-being, depression, ICU


OBJECTIVE: To assess the relationship between parenting styles and aggression in adolescents studying in various schools of Lahore, Pakistan. METHODS: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 200 adolescents (100 male & 100 females). Parenting Style Questionnaire and Aggression scale were used to collect the data. Sample was selected from 3 schools of Lahore (King Way High School, Shaheen High School and Lahore Garrison School) using purposive sampling strategy. The age range of sample was 14 to 18 years. In the present study we hypothesized; adolescents with authoritarian parents will have high level of aggression as compared to the adolescents of authoritative parents. We used Pearson Correlation and Multiple Regression techniques to find out the results from collected data. RESULTS: Mean age of participants was 13.09±0.86 years. Significant positive association was found between authoritarian parenting style and aggression (P<0.01) and significant inverse relationship between authoritative style of parenting and aggression (P<0.05) in adolescents. So, parents with authoritarian parenting style had higher level of aggression. Authoritarian parenting significantly predicted (19%) aggression in adolescents, while authoritative parenting style was not a significant predictor of aggression in adolescents. CONCLUSION: In our study, there is significant effect of authoritative and authoritarian parenting style on aggression and most of the children from authoritarian parents have high level of aggression as compared to authoritative parents.

In an effort to create a national cultural agenda of "Towards a Superior Indonesia", the concept of human resources development should be reconstructed to lead to the new concept of focusing on the development of spiritual quotient (SQ). The main reason for this is that the concept of SQ is the highest human intelligence that enables IQ and EQ to function effectively. The purpose of this study was to find out the correlation of Surah Ash Shaff: 10-11 enculturation through memorizing and reading it at each commencement of the lecture with the spritual quotient of the student / student at Faculty of Economics, Universitas Muslim Nusantara Al-Washliyah. The type of research used is assosiaitive research with quantitative approach. The study population are students of the Faculty of Economics, Universitas Muslim Nusantara Al-Washliyah/sample and sample size was set 165 people with purposive sampling technique. The data collection tool used was a questionnaire using Likert scale measurement. The data analysis techniques used were validity test, reliability test, classical assumption test, correlation test and to test hypothesis using Pearson correlation test and Spearman's correlation test as well as the coefficient of deterioration test (R test). The results of the coefficient of determination (R test) concluded, the contribution of the Surah Ash Shaff: 10-11 enculturation was able to explain the spiritual quotient variable by 65.8% while the other contribution of 34.2% was influenced by the other variables.
