We developed an estimation formula for mission motion suitability evaluation based on the general motion protocol to evaluate the motion suitability of a tracked vehicle crew jacket. Motion suitability evaluation was conducted for the 9 general motions and 12 mission motions among 27 tracked vehicle crew members who wore a tracked vehicle crew jacket. We conducted correlation and factor analyses on motions to extract the main mission motions, and a multiple regression analysis was performed on major mission motions using general motions as independent variables. As a result, two mission behavior factors related to ammunition stowing and boarding/entry were extracted. We selected ammunition stowing I and the boarding motion, which has the highest factor load in each factor and the highest explanatory power (R2) of the estimation formula. Regression equations for ammunition stowing consisting of five general motions (p < 0.001) and for boarding motion (p < 0.01) consisting of one general motion could be obtained. In conclusion, the estimation formula for mission motion suitability using general motion is beneficial for enhancing the effectiveness of the evaluation of military jackets for tracked vehicle crews.

This  research  examines the  connection between non debt tax shield and the change of leverage, between level of effective company tax and the change of leverage, and between operation income before depreciation and the change of leverage.This research takes 17 samples of  food and beverages companies listed in Jakarta Stock Exchange from 1st  January 1994 till 31st  December 1999. And this research uses data from 1994 – 1999 for the regression analysis. Multiple regression analysis is used to test hyphothesis 1 (H1), hyphothesis 2 (H2) and hyphothesis 3 (H3). Independent variables in the regression are level of effective company tax, non debt tax shield and operation income before depreciation, whilst independent variable in the regression is leverage.The result of this research proves that (1) non debt tax shield after the amendment of 1994 tax regulation (1995 – 1999) brings positive influence to the leverage change, (2) level of effective company tax after the amendment of 1994 tax regulation (1995 – 1999) brings negative influence to the leverage change, and (3) operation income before  depreciation  after the amendment of 1994 tax regulation (1995 – 1999) brings positive influence to the leverage change.

Caregiver or childcare employee is responsible to produce excellent quality in taking care of the children. A good practice of quality assurance among employees is important to develop the future generations. The objective of this research is to identify the factors that influence quality assurance among childcare employees in Selangor. It is to determine the relationship between factors (physical facilities, employee commitment, communication, and employee competencies) and quality assurance. A random sampling technique was used to select respondents from the registered childcare centers in Selangor, Malaysia. The study used quantitative approach through structured questionnaires developed from previous research. Among 450 survey questionnaires distributed, only 379 questionnaires were accepted and used for analysis. Study uses SPSS 22.0 to analyze data. Methodologies such as Pearson Correlation and Multiple Regression Analysis were conducted in analyzing the data. Findings revealed that quality assurance is having a positive relationship with physical facilities, employee commitment, communication, and employee competencies, with the overall results of the multiple regression analysis showed that all independent variables have relationships with the dependent variable at p=0.000. The result of this test also indicated that all independent variables have positive beta coefficient value as physical facilities, employee commitment, communication and employee competencies at 0.372, 0.251, 0.064 and 0.103 respectively. Thus, this study adds to better understanding of the total quality management (TQM) which is the main underlying theory used to develop the research framework. In general, Total Quality Management (TQM) advised on the factors such as physical facilities, employee commitment, employee competencies, and communication that when applied, could get the best result of employees.

Background: Recognition of adipose-related signaling participation in vascular processes is increasing, though direct interrogation of clinically relevant human adipose has been sparse. Few scenarios rival uremia for health impact. To advance understanding of the spectrum/determinants of human adipose biology, we compared fresh extremity adipose from patients with/without uremia. Methods: Subcutaneous adipose and clinical data was collected from patients undergoing open elective surgery. Protein was isolated, and mediator levels determined via multiplex assays. Results: In the 71 patient cohort, mean age=63.4y; 63.3% had diabetes, 49.2% had hyperlipidemia and 53.5% had coronary disease. Compared to non-uremic patients, uremic patients had 1/10th the levels of leptin, 1/3rd the levels of adiponectin, and 3-fold higher levels of resistin (Table 1). Females had 6-fold higher leptin, 1.5-fold higher adiponectin and 2-fold higher TNF but equivalent resistin. There were no differences in mediator levels when stratified by age. In both the obese/non-obese strata, we observed a concordant pattern of association (magnitude/significance) of uremia and leptin/adiponectin/resistin. No differentials in other mediators emerged upon BMI stratification. Multiple regression analysis for leptin/adiponectin/resistin (with age/gender/uremia as independent variables) showed uremia as the highest independent predictor of all three mediators, followed by gender, whereas age had no effect. Conclusions: Based on direct biopsy of living human adipose, uremia is associated with adiposopathy, including perturbations in the adipose derived hormones leptin, adiponectin, and resistin. Compared with other parameters including BMI, uremia overall dominated in determining adipose phenotype.

Stress and depression are representative of the mental health problems of university students worldwide. This cross-sectional study explored the moderating effect of mindfulness on the influence of stress on depression according to the degree of life stress. The participants were 738 university students in years 2–4 in five 4-year universities in South Korea. Depression was positively correlated with stress and negatively with mindfulness at a statistically significant level. In multiple regression analysis, stress was found to have an effect by increasing depression, and mindfulness by relieving depression. In the moderated multiple regression analysis, mindfulness had a moderating effect on the impact of stress on depression only in low-stress groups, showing that the interaction of stress with mindfulness was significantly negative (β = −0.11, t = −2.52, p = 0.012) and the inclusion of this interaction significantly increased the explanatory power for depression variation (F change 6.36, p = 0.012) in the full model. In conclusion, we suggest considering stress levels in the development of mindfulness-based intervention strategies to effectively manage the depression of university students.

In fisheries science, high number of morphometric measures (independent variables) taken from different parts of the fish complicates the estimation of the body weight (dependent variable). Therefore, the researchers are seeking for a solution facilitating the interpretation of the equations of correlation between the characteristics. One way to deal with this challenge is the dimension reduction by means of stepwise multiple regression analysis. The aim of this study is to explain total variation with the same accuracy by using fewer independent variables. To accomplish this, 12 morphometric measures from 210 individuals of Serranus cabrilla were measured to estimate the body weight. Firstly, the 95% of the variation was explained by means of multiple regression analysis by using all variables. Then, by step-wise method, the same results were achieved with fewer independent variables. Finally, the variables with inter-multicollinearity eliminated and with two remaining independent variables determination coefficients resulted as 95%. The result showed that using more variables does not create significant distinction for accuracy to estimate the body weight although; the total length and body dept was the most effective features for weight.

Abstract Objective: To construct a harmony box based on correlated cephalometric variables, which may serve as a valuable diagnostic tool in orthodontic treatment planning, by analyzing the harmonious relationships of existing individual craniofacial patterns among Filipinos. Materials and Methods: Eighty-one subjects, 37 females and 44 males, were selected from the student population of a University according to established inclusion criteria. Five cephalometric angular measurements were obtained and digitized. Pearson correlation coefficients described the high association among the five variables. The bivariate linear regression analysis was used to construct a harmony box, which contained the cephalometric floating norms of the five correlated variables. Multiple regression analysis and the standard error of the estimate were calculated to construct the harmony schema, which describes the individual craniofacial pattern. Results: Correlations between the five variables were significant at .001 and .05 levels. Linear regression equations with corresponding r2 and standard error of the estimate (SE) were illustrated as the harmony box. The multiple correlation coefficient R, the adjusted R2, and the SE when one of the five measured variables was predicted from the remaining four by means of a multiple regression analysis were displayed as the harmony schema. Conclusion: The cephalometric floating norms describing the individual craniofacial pattern among Filipinos were established based on five correlated variables in the form of a harmony box.
