The department of the hills is located at the center of Benin in plinth area. The water supply in this area is more and more directed towards surface water due to the hydrogeologic constraints and the impact of the climatic fluctuations. The climatological and geological data analysis made by the methods of descriptive statistical analysis made it possible to analyze the dynamics of the climatic parameters on the one hand and the behavior of the geological units to the recorded flows. The hydroclimatic study showed a deficit on the level of the climatic assessment and a decline of pluviometry since 1970. The study of the hydrogeologic characteristics carried out on 706 drillings made it possible to show the relationship between various parameters such as: thickness of change, flows end of boring and productivity of the drilling / lithology.

BackgroundMedically unexplained disabling fatigue in young people is familial and frequently associated with depressed mood.AimsTo examine the degree of sharing of genetic and environmental influences on the symptoms of depression and fatigue in this age group.MethodThe parents of twins aged 8–17 years, derived from a population-based register, completed a questionnaire regarding lifetime-ever disabling fatigue in both twins. Twins aged 11 years or over completed the Mood and Feelings Questionnaire. The genetic and environmental influences on fatigue and the relationship with depression were examined using bivariate genetic analysis.ResultsParent-rated data were obtained for 1468 twin pairs (65%) and self-rated data from 930 older twin pairs (58%). Bivariate analysis of fatigue and depression suggested that genetic and environmental influences on disabling fatigue were mainly specific to fatigue.ConclusionsUnexplained disabling fatigue in childhood is substantially familial and has mainly an independent aetiology from depression.

Despite claims that “cinema is dead” or that it only interests nostalgic old-timers, statistics indicate a global increase in theater attendance. Not only is moviegoing still one of the favorite forms of entertainment, but it especially appeals to young people. Moreover, communication research seems to have neglected cinema, but the relationship between modern-day teenagers and the silver screen needs to be observed. This chapter reports the results of a cross-cultural study based on the uses and gratifications paradigm with youngsters from eight European countries. It presents their cinematographic uses and consumption, their motivations for going to the movies, and their preferences and conceptions regarding different movie traditions. The study also performs cross-cultural contrasts to reveal more about the impact of regional, national, and global forces on the psychological relationship between today’s teenagers and cinema.

The Impact

The aim of the study was to examine the long-term trends in pedestrian mortality for children (aged 0 to 14 years) and young people (aged 15 to 19 years) over four decades in transitional Lithuania. Methods. Road traffic fatality data were obtained from Statistics Lithuania and the Archives of Health Information Centre. Trends were analysed by linear regression using “Independence” as a slopechanging intervention in 1991 and population as a further explanatory factor in structural time series models. Results. The impact of the interventions, along with the reforms and changes related with the Independence, on pedestrian fatality trends in our time series model was found highly statistically significant for children 0 to 14 years (p<0.001) and still significant for young people 15 to 19 years (p<0.05). No significant impact on the trend of road traffic deaths was found for the “control-groups” of non-pedestrian road users in the age group 0 to 14 years and adult pedestrians (over 19 years of age). For the age group 15 to 19 years the effect of reforms was also significant for non-pedestrians (p<0.05). These results indicate that the effect of measures and changes used in the post-independence period was more specific in children that participated in road traffic as pedestrians than in adult pedestrians, or in nonpedestrian road users. Conclusions. Pedestrian deaths in Lithuania fell significantly in the age groups 0-14 and 15-19 years. A declining trend was found in road traffic fatalities and in pedestrian deaths in transitional Lithuania in the post-independence period. Socioeconomic and political transformations, systematic reforms in healthcare along with sustainable preventive measures may have contributed to this decrease. Targeted road safety measures were road traffic regulations, pedestrian education and environmentally based prevention measures. As child pedestrians are the most vulnerable group of road users, continued road safety education and promotion are recommended in order to maintain this trend, and to involve adult pedestrians in this development.

The Relationship

The relationship between the ROK and DPRK is bound to be affected by the two great powers—the US and China. Especially in recent decades, the power gap between the two great powers has continued to narrow. Given this, how is the geopolitical situation surrounding the Korean Peninsula shaping inter-Korean relations? This study uses event data and statistical analysis to explore the geopolitical factors that shaped inter-Korean relations from 1993 to 2019. We find that DPRK–ROK relations deteriorated as the power gap between the US and China narrowed. Also, inter-Korean relations were positive when DPRK–US relations were positive. In short, we conclude that during the shift in the US–China power distribution, maintaining positive DPRK–US relations while also managing inter-Korean relations peacefully is necessary for peace on the Korean Peninsula.

The Relationship

Purpose This study aims to explore the ways in which young people and prison staff (Prison Officers) within a youth custodial establishment experience empathy. Previous research tends to view empathy as a stable trait and one which people can develop through individual-centred therapy. There has been little consideration of the impact of relationship factors and context in relation to empathy experience and expression. The current study aims to address this by exploring the role of the custodial context in shaping empathy, including the potential impact of relationships, environmental factors and culture. Design/methodology/approach A qualitative approach was used to enable breadth and depth in the exploration of this area. Individual, semi-structured interviews were carried out with a purposive sample of three young people and three Prison Officers. Data was analysed using inductive thematic analysis informed by the guidelines of Braun and Clarke (2006) and King and Horrocks (2010). Findings Constructed themes included “constructions of empathy”, “recipe for empathy”, “institutional investment”, “the value of empathy” and “doing empathy”. Together, they provide detailed insight into the interplay of personal and wider contextual factors influencing the experience of empathy in a custodial setting. The findings suggest that the way in which young people and staff experience empathy in the custodial environment is unique. The findings suggest that empathy takes place within the context of relationships and is influenced by the nature of those relationships, along with the wider social context within which it occurs. Practical implications The findings of the current study support a move away from understanding empathy as an individual personality trait and instead viewing it as a dynamic experience that is changeable based upon the relationship and the context within which it occurs. The findings suggest that interventions aiming to develop empathy should look beyond the level of the individual and the relationship and focus upon developing environments that are supportive of empathy. Originality/value This study provides unique insights into the subjective experience of empathy in a custodial setting, presenting as one of the first to take a more holistic approach to understand this phenomenon.

Background: Cardiovascular disease is a major source of mortality in schizophrenia, and access to care after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is poor for these patients. Aims: To understand the relationship between schizophrenia and access to coronary revascularization and the impact of revascularization on mortality among individuals with schizophrenia and AMI. Method: This study used a retrospective cohort of AMI in Ontario between 2008 and 2015. The exposure was a diagnosis of schizophrenia, and patients were followed 1 year after AMI discharge. The primary outcome was all-cause mortality within 1 year. Secondary outcomes were cardiac catheterization and revascularization (percutaneous coronary intervention or coronary artery bypass graft). Cox proportional hazard regression models were used to study the relationship between schizophrenia and mortality, and the time-varying effect of revascularization. Results: A total of 108,610 cases of incident AMI were identified, among whom 1,145 (1.1%) had schizophrenia. Schizophrenia patients had increased mortality, with a hazard ratio (HR) of 1.55 (95% CI, 1.37 to 1.77) when adjusted for age, sex, income, rurality, geographic region, and comorbidity. After adjusting for time-varying revascularization, the HR reduced to 1.38 (95% CI, 1.20 to 1.58). The impact of revascularization on mortality was similar among those with and without schizophrenia (HR: 0.42; 95% CI, 0.41 to 0.44 vs. HR: 0.40; 95% CI, 0.26 to 0.61). Conclusions: In this sample of AMI, mortality in schizophrenia is increased, and treatment with revascularization reduces the HR of schizophrenia. The higher mortality rate yet similar survival benefit of revascularization among individuals with schizophrenia relative to those without suggests that increasing access to revascularization may reduce the elevated mortality observed in individuals with schizophrenia.

The Relationship

Study of sediment management is important to ensure the sedimentation process that occurred can be properly managed. Sediment have a positive correlation with the precipitation where, if the amount of precipitation is high then the sediment transport rate also will be increase. The additional of sediment into the river will shallow the river and lead to flooding. Thus, this analysis is carried out on the Batang Padang River to prove that there is a positive reaction by the precipitation and the amount of sediment, and will affect river management. The precipitation and sediment data from 1982 to 1996 were retrieved from Department of Irrigation and Drainage (DID) data base. Statistical analysis using the methods of correlation was used to determine the relationship between two variable has been prescribed. Based on the analyzed data, the highest value of rainfall was 3832.5 mm in 1988, and the highest value of sediment is 15331.9 tonnes/year was accured in 1985. Grade correlation is between 0:51 to 0.94 for observations fifteen years. Where the average grade of correlation that has been analyzed is 0.7. The results of the data analysis clearly shows that precipitation has a significant relationship with sediment.
