Paying attention to role cognition and the employment strategies of female rural laborers has great significance for the improvement of the status of women and the rational transfer of labor forces. However, there are few studies of role cognition amongst the rural female labor workforce. There is even less research on the relationship between role cognition and employment transfer strategies. In this study, a survey of 425 female rural laborers in the Sichuan Province, China, was conducted to construct a role-based cognitive scale in order to measure the cognitive levels of subjective ability, self-role expectations and role conflicts. This paper divides employment strategy into four aspects: Actual workplaces, workplace preferences, actual industries, and industry preferences. An unorganized multi-classification logistic regression model was constructed in order to explore the relationship between the role cognition and employment strategy selections. The results indicated that there was a significant difference between employment expectations and realities. Rural females with more equal modern role cognition had a higher expectation of employment. Meanwhile, those who had a strong feeling of role conflicts, tended to work in other places and choose secondary and tertiary industries. However, in reality, most were unemployed. The conflict of roles clearly restricts employment options of the rural female workforce. This study enhances our understanding of the relationship between the perceptions of the Chinese female labor workforce and the employment strategies used. The findings can help to provide a reference for guiding employment policies and the flow of the female labor workforce.

Objective.The purpose of the study was to assess the application value of VTQ in DTD.Research Design and Methods.Thirty healthy subjects and 74 DTD patients were involved. The thyroid stiffness, which was expressed by SWV, was measured by VTQ and compared between the patients and healthy people. The relationship between SWV and thyroid serological indexes was also analyzed.Results. The thyroid SWVs of DTD patients were higher than those of the healthy (2.56±1.33 m/s versus1.74±0.16 m/s,P=0.011). There was no significant difference between the thyroid SWVs in GD and HT patients (P=0.168). The SWVs in patients with GD and HT were both higher than those of the healthy (P<0.05). The area under the ROC curve was 0.938 for SWV to distinguish between DTD and healthy thyroid. With a cutoff value of 2.02 m/s, the sensitivity and specificity were 81.12% and 100.00%, respectively. Additionally, we found a positive liner correlation between thyroid SWV and TSH in DTD patients (P<0.001).Conclusion.SWV is a good indicator of the thyroid tissue stiffness, which might be considered helpful in screening DTD. What is more, SWV might have a potential in assessing the thyroid function.

Purpose: This study aims to examine the relationship between injury anxiety and forgiveness flexibility levels of elite field hockey players. Injury anxiety and forgiveness flexibility levels were compared in terms of gender, the status of being a national athlete, injury history, and frequency of training. Method: In line with the purpose of the research, it is descriptive research in which the relational survey model, one of the quantitative research methods, is used. With this method, it is used to grasp and explain the relationship between various variables without any attempt to change the current situation. In this framework, a research model was created that aims to determine the existence of covariance between two or more variables. The research population consists of field hockey players. The population of the study is elite field hockey players who participated in national or international field hockey tournaments. The research sample consists of 161 participants (66 Female, 41%; 95% Male, 59%) selected by convenience sampling method, which is one of the non-random sampling methods. The “Sports Injury Anxiety” scale was used to determine the injury anxiety levels of field hockey players who participated in the study voluntarily. The “Forgiveness Flexibility Scale” was used to determine the levels of forgiveness flexibility, and the “Personal Information Form” prepared by the researchers was used to collect information about demographic characteristics (gender, status of being a national athlete, injury history, training frequency). Conclusion: It was determined that there was a significant difference in injury anxiety and forgiveness flexibility scores of elite field hockey players according to gender and training frequency variables. On the other hand, while there was a significant difference in injury anxiety scores according to the status of being a national athlete and having an injury, no significant difference was found in the mean scores of forgiveness flexibility. As a result of the analysis performed to determine the relationship between injury anxiety and forgiveness flexibility, a positive and significant relationship was determined between the injury anxiety and forgiveness flexibility levels of the athletes. Finally, it was concluded that training frequency is an important predictor of injury anxiety, and as the training frequency increases, the athlete's injury anxiety level decreases. Keywords: Field hockey, injury anxiety, forgiveness flexibility

Background: Cerebral aneurysms (CA) are a widespread vascular disease affecting 50 per 1000 population. The study of the influence of histological, morphological and hemodynamic factors on the status of the aneurysm has been the subject of many works. However, an accurate and generally accepted relationship has not yet been identified. Methods: In our work, the results of mechanical and spectroscopic measurements are considered. Total investigated 14 patients and 36 their samples of CA tissue. Results: The excitation–emission matrix of each specimen was evaluated, after which the strength characteristics of the samples were investigated. Conclusions: It has been shown that there is a statistically significant difference in the size of the peaks of two components, which characterizes the status of the aneurysms. In addition, a linear regression model has been built that describes the correlation of the magnitude of the ultimate strain and stress with the magnitude of the peaks of one of the components. The results of this study will serve as a basis for the non-invasive determination of the strength characteristics of the cerebral tissue aneurysms and determination of their status.

Abstract: One factor that affects HIV development is co-infected TB. HIV and TB both play a role in reducing the function of the immune system. The purpose of this study was to see the relationship between the status of TB infection in HIV+ patients with HIV progression to AIDS. Research articles were identified from the four databases PubMed, BMC Public Health, Science Direct and ProQuest. The review was conducted to synthesize findings on the published articles between January 2010- October 2020 with the research protocol and research evaluation using PRISMA. A total of 6 articles meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The results of the analysis found there were 4 articles that discussed TB / HIV with CD4 and were entirely significant. Two articles noted a CD4 decline in TB / HIV groups and the other two found an increase in CD4. Although there is an increase, compared to NONTP groups, CD4 counts in TB / HIV coinfection tend to be lower. On viral load, two articles noted a decline, but only one article mentioned a significant difference but did not compare with the NONTP group. HIV progressions became AIDS recorded in two articles and found a risk of development in TB / HIV groups was higher than the NONTP group. TB infections in HIV sufferers affect HIV development through immune system interactions. Further research on HIV development tuberculosis infection into AIDS needs to examine related tuberculosis type or location. Abstrak: Salah satu faktor yang memengaruhi perkembangan HIV adalah koinfeksi TB. HIV dan TB keduanya berperan dalam menurunkan fungsi sistem kekebalan. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk melihat hubungan status infeksi TB pada pasien HIV+ dengan progresi HIV menjadi AIDS. Artikel penelitian diidentifikasi dari empat database PubMed, BMC Public Health, Sciencedirect dan ProQuest. Review dilakukan untuk mensintesis temuan pada artikel yang dipublikasi antara Januari 2010- Oktober 2020 dengan protokol dan evaluasi penelitian menggunakan PRISMA. Total 6 artikel yang memenuhi kriteria inklusi dan eksklusi. Hasil analisis menemukan ada 4 artikel yang membahas TB/HIV dengan CD4 dan seluruhnya signifikan. Dua artikel mencatat adanya penurunan CD4 pada kelompok TB/HIV dan dua lainnya menemukan peningkatan CD4. Meski terjadi peningkatan, dibandingkan dengan kelompok non TB, jumlah CD4 pada koinfeksi TB/HIV cenderung lebih rendah. Pada viral load, dua artikel mencatat adanya penurunan, namun hanya satu artikel yang menyebutkan adanya perbedaan signifikan namun tidak membandingkan dengan kelompok non TB. Progresi HIV menjadi AIDS dicatat pada dua artikel dan ditemukan risiko pengembangan pada kelompok TB/HIV lebih tinggi dibandingkan kelompok non TB. Infeksi TB pada penderita HIV berpengaruh terhadap perkembangan HIV melalui interaksi sistem imun. Penelitian lebih lanjut mengenai infeksi tuberkulosis perkembangan HIV menjadi AIDS perlu meneliti terkait jenis atau lokasi tuberkulosis.

It has been widely reported that periodontitis may lead to bone tissue and teeth loss and result in failure of prosthodontics or implants. Interleukin-1 (IL-1) is a potent proinflammatory cytokine that plays an essential role during the pathogenesis of periodontitis. However, the gene polymorphisms of IL-1α, IL-1β and IL-1RN and the relationship between these protein expressions in healthy people and patients with chronic periodontitis (CP) in China have not been fully elucidated. We investigated the gene polymorphisms and protein expression of IL-1α, IL-1β and IL-1RN in healthy subjects and CP patients, and our data suggest that these gene polymorphisms are associated with CP. The frequency of the C/C genotype of IL-1α was 55% in CP patients, while in the control group it was 20% (p<0.0001). The C/C genotype of IL-1β was also higher in CP patients (51%) than in controls (21%) (p<0.0001). For the 2/2 genotype of IL-1RN, CP patients showed a 30% frequency, while in controls this was 15% (p<0.0001). Protein levels evaluated by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay demonstrated a significant difference in secretion between patients and controls for IL-1α and IL-1β. These results indicate that genotype and protein production of IL-1α, IL-1β and IL-1RN are associated with CP in a Chinese population, and might be putative risk indicators for chronic periodontitis.

Summary Aim: Tumor scintigraphy with 201-TICI is an established diagnostic method in the follow-up of differentiated thyroid cancer. We investigated the relationship between thyroglobulin (Tg) level and tumor detectability. Subject and methods: We analyzed the scans of 122 patients (66 patients with proven tumor). The patient population was divided into groups with Tg above (N = 33) and below (N = 33) 5 ng/ml under TSH suppression or above (N = 33) and below (N = 33) 50 ng/ml under TSH stimulation. Tumor detectability was compared by ROC-analysis (True-Positive-Fraction test, specificity 90%). Results: There was no significant difference (sensitivity 75% versus 64%; p = 0.55) for patients above and below 5 ng/ml under TSH suppression and a just significant difference (sensitivity 80% versus 58%; p = 0.04) for patients above and below 50 ng/ml under TSH stimulation. In 18 patients from our sample with tumor, Tg under TSH suppression was negative, but 201-TICI-scan was able to detect tumor in 12 patients. Conclusion: Our results demonstrate only a moderate dependence of tumor detectability on Tg level, probably without significant clinical relevance. Even in patients with slight Tg elevation 201-TICI scintigraphy is justified.

The status of tafsīr and Qur'anic studies in the Islamic Republic of Iran has changed significantly during recent decades. The essay provides an overview of the state of Qur'anic studies in Iran today, aiming to examine the extent of the impact of studies by Western scholars on Iranian academic circles during the last three decades and the relationship between them. As in most Islamic countries, the major bulk of academic activity in Iran in this field used to be undertaken by the traditional ʿulamāʾ; however, since the beginning of the twentieth century and the establishment of universities and other academic institutions in the Islamic world, there has been increasing diversity and development. After the Islamic Revolution, many gradual changes in the structure and approach of centres of religious learning and universities have occurred. Contemporary advancements in modern sciences and communications technologies have gradually brought the institutions engaged in the study of human sciences to confront the new context. As a result, the traditional Shīʿī centres of learning, which until 50 years ago devoted themselves exclusively to the study of Islamic law and jurisprudence, today pay attention to the teaching of foreign languages, Qur'anic sciences and exegesis, including Western studies about the Qur'an, to a certain extent, and recognise the importance of almost all of the human sciences of the West.

Background: Widespread social paradigms on which the status variances are grounded in any society, gender plays pivotal role in manifestation of mental health problems (Rutter, 2007). A hefty volume of research has addressed the issue in adults nonetheless, little is vividly known about the role of gender in adolescent psychopathology. Sample: A sample of 240 adolescents (125 boys, 115 girls) aging 12-18 years was amassed from various secondary schools of Islamabad with the approval of the Federal Directorate of Education (FDE), relevant authorities of the schools and the adolescents themselves. Instruments: Taylor Manifest Anxiety Scale (Taylor & Spence, 1953) and Children’s Negative Cognitive Errors Questionnaire (CNCEQ) by Leitenberg et al., (1986) were applied in present study. Results: Multiple regression analysis revealed that cognitive errors jointly accounted for 78% of variance in predicting anxiety among adolescents. Findings also exhibited that gender significantly moderated the relationship between cognitive errors and adolescent anxiety. Implications of the findings are discoursed for future research and clinical practice.

This article focuses on the specific Indian cinematic form of the Hindu devotional film genre to explore the relationship between cinema and religion. Using three important early films from the devotional oeuvre—Gopal Krishna, Sant Dnyaneshwar, and Sant Tukaram—as the primary referent, it tries to understand certain characteristic patterns in the narrative structures of these films, and the cultures of visuality and address, miraculous manifestation, and witnessing and self-transformation that they generate. These three films produced by Prabhat Studios between the years 1936 and 1940 and all directed by Vishnupant Damle and Syed Fattelal, drew upon the powerful anti-hierarchical traditions of Bhakti, devotional worship that circumvented Brahmanical forms. This article will argue that the devotional film crucially undertakes a work of transformation in the perspectives on property, and that in this engagement it particularly reviews the status of the household in its bid to generate a utopian model of unbounded community. The article will also consider the status of technologies of the miraculous that are among the central attractions of the genre, and afford a reflection on the relation between cinema technology, popular religious belief and desire, and film spectatorship.

Gonado-somatic index and fecundity are tools for measuring the sexual maturity and ability of animals to reproduce.  This study investigates the reproduction of Trichiurus lepturus. Specifically, this aimed to determine the sex ratio, the GSI, the relationship between fecundity and total length, fecundity and total weight, fecundity and ovary weight. The Descriptive Method of research was used.  Percentage and chi-square was utilized in determining the percentage of occurrence and sex ratio respectively.   Pearson r Product Moment Coefficient of Correlation was used to determine the relationships of the parameters. The study revealed that females outnumbered males and the sex ratio for different month showed significant difference.  Spawning season was observed to occur in November and December as revealed in its GSI values and it synchronized with the full and new moon phases.  Fecundity is positively correlated with body weight, body size, and ovary weight where ovary weight is observed to be the best index for fecundity.  The results of this study could be used further for formal stock assessment of cutlassfish fishery.
