The Impact

IntroductionDisciplinary procedures can have a negative impact on the professional functioning of medical doctors. In this questionnaire study, doctors’ experience with open culture and support during a disciplinary procedure is studied to determine whether open culture and support are associated with perceived changes in the professional practice of doctors.MethodsAll doctors who received a warning or a reprimand from the Dutch Medical Disciplinary Board between July 2012 and August 2016 were invited to fill in a 60-item questionnaire concerning open culture, perceived support during the disciplinary procedure and the impact of the procedure on professional functioning as reported by doctors themselves. The response rate was 43% (n=294).ResultsA majority of doctors perceive their work environment as a safe environment in which to talk about and report incidents (71.2% agreed). Respondents felt supported by a lawyer or legal representative and colleagues (92.8% and 89.2%, respectively). The disciplinary procedure had effects on professional practice. Legal support and support from a professional confidant and a professional association were associated with fewer perceived changes to professional practice.ConclusionOur study shows that doctors who had been disciplined perceive their working environment as open. Doctors felt supported by lawyers and/or legal representatives and colleagues. Legal support was associated with less of a perceived impact on doctors’ professional practice.

In order to explore the impact of Netspeak on the modem standard Chinese language, this study investigates the features and sources of Netspeak and then examines two anxieties that prevail around Chinese society: (1) Can the English elements in Netspeak be regarded as a sign of "English Invasion" and destroy the purity of Chinese language or even blemish Chinese cultural sovereignty? (2) Can "Netspeak confuse people's perception of what standard Chinese language should be so as to have negative impact on Chinese language? Related literatures both in China and in the western countries are examined. Some linguistic theories are applied or verified. Quantitative research method is used to verify my hypothesis that Netspeak will not have a deeply negative impact on Modem Standard Chinese in the long run, although it has already become a popular social dialect in the China"--From introduction, page 4.

The Impact

Abstract Introduction Child maltreatment (CM) is a significant stressor that is associated with sleep problems in children and adolescents. The COVID-19 pandemic introduces new psychosocial stressors, which may be particularly harmful to youth already experiencing stress in the home environment. Using multi-dimensional (threat vs deprivation) assessments of CM, the present study aimed to test whether COVID-19 related stress intensified the association between maltreatment (abuse vs neglect) and sleep problems among youth. Methods This study utilized data from a longitudinal sample of youth (N=126; Mage at T1=12.9) assessed between January 2019 and March 2020 (T1) and after the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic (May 2020; T2). Latent factors for COVID-19 related stress included three questions asking about negative changes, uncertainty about the future, and stress-induced by disruptions. CM at T1 was measured with the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ). Multidimensional aspects of CM included a threat factor (sum of Emotional, Physical, and Sexual Abuse) and a deprivation factor (sum of Emotional and Physical Neglect). Sleep-related problems at both T1 and T2 were assessed using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) global score. Structural equation modeling was conducted in Mplus 8.1 to test direct and interaction effects of CM and COVID-19 related stress on sleep problems at T2 while controlling for sleep problems at T1 and demographic covariates. Results Threat-related abuse was significantly associated with increased sleep problems at T2 (β =.43, p < .01) but neglect was not (β =.03, p = .85). Additionally, COVID-19 related stress significantly intensified the link between abuse and sleep problems (β =.14, p < .05) as well as between neglect and sleep problems (β =.43, p < .01) at T2. Among youth who experienced higher levels of CM, increased COVID-19 related stress exacerbated sleep problems. Conclusion These results bolster extant research on the negative impact CM bears on youth sleep health and indicates that COVID-19 stress may exacerbate sleep problems. Our findings inform future prevention and intervention efforts that aim to reduce sleep problems among youth who experience CM during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Impact

Background: Social media (SM) use among young adults has increased significantly in recent years and has been linked to poor sleep quality. College athletes pose a unique risk for poor sleep given their many demands. Currently, limited research is available on the impact of SM use on sleep quality, or the competition performance of college athletes. Hypothesis: College athletes who use more SM will have worse sleep quality and worse competition performance. Methods: A cross-sectional study design was employed among local NCAA Division III athletes. Data was collected via a SM use form, lifestyle survey, and PROMIS sleep disturbance questionnaire. SM volume (hours of SM use per day over 7 days) was recorded using the iPhone screen time function. The main outcome measures were sleep quality, using the PROMIS T-score, and performance, collected through publicly available competition results. Participants were divided into 3 groups based on their SM volume; 1) moderate SM users (SM time ≤ 2hours/day), 2) active SM users (SM time < 2 - ≤5hours/day), and 3) super active SM users (SM time > 5hours/day). For sleep quality, an ANCOVA was used to identify differences in the 3 groups while controlling for covariates (i.e. injury status, caffeine use, number of roommates, academic load, catastrophic life event, life balance and sleep medication use) that might impact sleep and performance. For performance, a binary logistic regression model was used to determine the independent association between each variable and competition performance after adjusting for confounders. Results: 87 athletes (age:19.5±1.2 years, 40 males, 47 females) completed the survey. All males participated in track and field, while the females consisted of 37 track athletes and 10 swimmers. Controlling for the effect of lifestyle variables, a difference in sleep quality was identified among the three groups (p=0.025), (Table 1. A pairwise comparison indicated that the sleep quality of super active SM users was worse than moderate SM users (p=0.033) (Figure 1). For competition performance, an independent association was found between increased Facebook time and poor performance after adjusting confounders (aOR: 0.989, 95%CI: 0.978-0.999, p=0.038), (Table 2,3). Conclusion: High SM use appears to have a negative impact on sleep quality. Also, greater SM use may hinder competition performance among college athletes. These findings may have implications for developing SM use guidelines for college athletes to improve their sleep quality and performance.

Abstract Background Although previous studies reported a link between sleep dysfunction and psychotic symptoms, more detailed information is needed to translate this association into clinical practice. This study investigates the impact of different aspects of sleep quality on prevalence, type and severity of psychotic-like experiences, in a large general population sample. In doing so, we distinguish between hallucinations in the auditory (AH) and visual (VH) domains and delusions, to arrive at a more comprehensive understanding of the detrimental effects of impaired sleep. Methods An online survey was used to gather information on self-reported psychotic-like experiences and sleep quality in a sample of 10.301 Dutch participants (median age 32 yrs; 68.9% females). The Questionnaire for Psychotic Experiences (QPE) was used to assess aspects of AH and VH. A subset of the participants also filled-out a second part of the QPE regarding occurrence of delusion. Furthermore, a measure of general sleep quality was derived based on seven sleep domains as assessed using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Binomial logistic regression was used to investigate the effects of the seven sleep domains on the likelihood that participants had experienced hallucinations in the preceding week, using 3324 participants with and a random subsample of 3391 participants without such experiences. The same analysis was performed on the data regarding delusions, using 438 participants with and a random subsample of 445 participants without delusions in the past week. Reported odds ratios (OR) reflect the increment in likelihood of occurrence of hallucinations and delusions. To further assess whether impaired sleep affects the level of distress caused by hallucinations, participants were divided into ‘good’ and ‘poor’ sleepers using a cut-off score of 5 points on the total PSQI score. Chi-square tests were then used to compare the two groups on occurrence of distressing vs non-distressing AH and VH. Results Impaired sleep showed to entail significant predictors of the prevalence of hallucinations. Specifically, sleeping less than 5 hours a night (OR 1.88), having sleep disturbances more than 3 times a week (OR 5.81), the use of sleep medication more than 2 times a week (OR 1.61) and decreased daytime functioning more than 3 times a week (OR 1.87) increased the odds to experience hallucinations, as compared to participants without these sleep difficulties. Furthermore, experiencing sleep disturbances more than 2 times a week (OR 9.24) and decreased daytime functioning more than 2 times a week (OR 5.53) also strongly increased the odds to experience delusions. Subjective sleep quality, sleep latency, and sleep efficiency were not significant predictors for the prevalence of hallucinations or delusions. Importantly, sleep impairment also affected the experienced distress as caused by hallucinations. A larger proportion of the poor sleepers than of the good sleepers experienced distressing AH (p < .001) and reported that the AH had a negative impact on their functioning (p < .001). Likewise, a larger proportion of the poor sleepers than of the good sleepers reported distressing VH (p < .001) and reported a negative impact of VH on their functioning (p < .001). Discussion Sleep impairments were associated with increased prevalence of psychotic-like experiences, and with more severe distress as caused by hallucinations. Sleep restoration should be explored as a first line intervention for people suffering from psychotic-like experiences. In case of delusions, such interventions should be directed at decreasing the number of nightly disturbances, while for individuals suffering from hallucinations additional focus should be put on increasing the achieved hours of sleep.

Abstract. Corruption is a crucial problem as if there was never a solution. The impact of criminal acts of corruption on the state can lead to the misery of its people, can undermine economic growth, can exacerbate poverty and political instability. With the danger caused by the crime of corruption, a discourse emerged on the application of the death penalty for perpetrators of criminal acts of corruption to give a deterrent effect to the perpetrators. However, the discourse was not approved by the human rights activists on the grounds that the death penalty had no connection with deterrent effect, but instead the death penalty had a negative impact on the country. The purpose of this article is to examine the biblical view of the death penalty discourse on corruptors. The research method used to achieve these goals was through literature study and biblical interpretation. The results showed that corruption was a major crime according to the Bible and therefore the death penalty deserves to be applied. Death sentences against corruptors was not on contrary to love, and on the other hand show the holiness of God who does not compromise to sin.Abstrak. Tindak pidana korupsi menjadi masalah krusial yang seolah-olah tidak pernah ada penyelesaiannya. Dampak tindak pidana korupsi bagi negara dapat menimbulkan kesengsaraan rakyatnya, dapat meruntuhkan pertumbuhan ekonomi, dapat memperburuk kemiskinan dan ketidakstabilan politik. Dengan adanya bahaya yang diakibatkan tindak pidana korupsi tersebut, maka muncul wacana penerapan hukuman mati bagi pelaku tindak pidana korupsi untuk memberikan efek jera bagi pelakunya. Namun demikian, wacana tersebut tidak disetujui oleh kelompok pegiat HAM dengan alasan hukuman mati tidak memiliki hubungan dengan kejeraan, tetapi sebaliknya hukuman mati justru berdampak buruk pada negara. Tujuan penulisan artikel ini adalah untuk mengkaji pandangan Alkitab terhadap wacana hukuman mati terhadap koruptor. Metode penelitian yang digunakan untuk mencapai tujuan tersebut adalah melalui studi pustaka dan tafsiran Alkitab. Hasilnya menunjukkan bahwa korupsi adalah termasuk kejahatan besar menurut Alkitab dan oleh karenanya hukuman mati patut untuk diterapkan. Hukuman mati terahdap koruptor tidak bertentangan dengan kasih, dan malah sebaliknya menunjukkan kekudusan Allah yang tidak berkompromi terhadap dosa.
