The article discusses the issues of assessing the creditworthiness of individuals using credit scoring. This rating system is an effective approach to determining the level of risk for a specific customer segment. This is especially true of the situation when a credit institution launches a new credit product. The main idea proposed in the article is that new customer scoring cards are created on the basis of existing cards by mathematical data processing. The novelty of the method lies in the fact that the scoring is done based on a dedicated subset of customer data stored in the corporate storage. The approach helps to make a decision on granting a loan and can be recommended for use in lending

AbstractIntroduction:The Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) is the standard measure used to quantify the level of consciousness of patients who have sustained head injuries. Rapid and accurate GCS scoring is essential.Objective:To evaluate the effectiveness of a GCS teaching video shown to prehospital emergency medical services (EMS) providers.Methods:Participants and setting—United States, Mid-Atlantic region EMS providers. Intervention—Each participant scored all of the three components of the GCS for each of four scenarios provided before and after viewing a video-tape recording containing four scenarios. Design—Before-and-after single (Phase I) and parallel Cohort (Phase II). Analysis— Proportions of correct scores were compared using chi-square, and relative risk was calculated to measure the strength of the association.Results:75 participants were included in Phase I. In Phase II, 46 participants participated in a parallel cohort design: 20 used GCS reference cards and 26 did not use the cards. Before observing the instructional video, only 14.7% score all of the scenarios correctly, where as after viewing the video, 64.0% scored the scenarios results were observed after viewing the video for those who used the GCS cards (p = 0.001; RR = 2.0; 95% CI = 1.29 to 3.10) than for those not using the cards (p <0.0001; RR = 10.0; 95% CI = 2.60 to 38.50).Conclusions:Post-video viewing scores were better than those observed before the video presentation. Ongoing evaluations include analysis of longterm skill retention and scoring accuracy in the clinical environment.

Much has been written in the popular press on credit card use and spending patterns of American college students. The proliferation of credit cards and their ease of acquisition ensure that students today have more opportunities for making more credit purchases than any other generation of college students. Little is known about the relationship between students' attitudes towards materialism and their use of credit cards. A study was conducted at three college campuses in the northeastern part of the United States where a total of 1,022 students were surveyed. Students' attitudes toward use of credit and their credit card balances were evaluated relative to their scores on Richins and Dawson's Materialism Scale (1992). Our findings suggest no significant difference between those individuals scoring high versus low on the Materialism Scale in terms of the number of credit cards owned and the average balance owed. Individuals high on materialism, however, significantly differed in terms of their uses for credit cards and their general attitude toward their use.

Summary: This study investigated the role that the structure of a diagnostic instrument plays in the assessment of personality functioning. Empirical studies have shown that the cards of the Rorschach and Holtzman Inkblot Technique (HIT) vary significantly with regard to their structure. Thus, it was possible to investigate if cards of high vs. low structure tend to elicit specific diagnostically useful responses. For this purpose, samples of normals (n = 30), patients with neurotic disorders (n = 30), borderline patients (n = 30), acute schizophrenics (n = 25), and chronic schizophrenics (n = 25) were studied with the HIT. For each diagnostic group it was examined if cards of high vs. low structure tended to elicit more thought disordered responses, hostility, and anxiety according to the HIT scoring system. With regard to structure, two aspects were differentiated, structural vs. interpretative ambiguity of the HIT cards. In all nonschizophrenic groups, cards of high structural ambiguity elicited significantly less thought disordered responses. By contrast, cards of high interpretative ambiguity elicited more thought disordered responses, anxiety, and hostility in all groups except the chronic schizophrenics. The measures of structural vs. interpretative ambiguity of the HIT cards showed a negative correlation in all diagnostic groups. According to these results, both aspects of ambiguity and their interplay play an important role in the assessment of psychopathology, at least within the range of ambiguity represented by the inkblots of the HIT.

The Groffman Visual Tracing (GVT) test is a psychometric oculomotor test comprising two cards with five contorted and intersected lines, and which is available for the clinical evaluation of ocular movements. The participant starts from the letter at the top, follows the line, and reports the corresponding number at the bottom of each line. The aim of this study is to evaluate two claims made when details of the GVT test were originally reported: whether it is a developmental test, and the feasibility of its application starting from primary school children up to adults. This was achieved by using the GVT test and a simplified version of it. In two consecutive experiments, we tested two groups of children and adults. In the first experiment, 75 children (1st, 3rd, and 5th grade) and 25 adults underwent the GVT test. In the second experiment, 115 children from 1st to 5th grade underwent a simplified version of the test. Total scoring, accuracy and time to complete the test were evaluated. In the first experiment, 24% of children in the 1st and 3rd grades did not follow any lines correctly due to the difficulty of the test. In the second experiment, all participants were able to perform the test with both cards, and the accuracy improved significantly with age (p<0.0001). The time required to follow the lines was found to decrease with age (p<0.0001), and the accuracy improves (p<0.0001) compared with the standard version. The standard version of the GVT test has proven to be too difficult for younger children and a modified version produced improved results. Children at or below the 5th grade should to be tested using the modified version. Older children and adults can be tested with the standard version. Specific norms based on execution times and accuracy should to be established.

Full textAbstract:
With the coming into force of the standard IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments, in January 2018, financial institutions passed from an incurred loss model to a forward-looking model for the computation of impairment losses. As such, the IFRS 9 models use point-in-time, estimates of Probability of Default and Loss Given Default and provide a more faithful representation of the credit risk at a given as they are based on past experiences as well as the most recent and forecasted economic conditions. However, given the short-term fluctuations in the macroeconomic conditions, the final outcome of the Expected credit loss models is highly volatile due to their sensitivity to the business cycle. With regard to Probability of Default estimation under IFRS 9, the most commonly methods are: Markov Chains, Survival Analysis and single-factor models (Vasicek and Z-Shift). The development of the score-cards is still the same as in the case of the Internal Ratings Based Probability of Default models, encouraging institutions to use the already available credit rating systems and perform adjustment to the calibration. This paper outlines a non-exhaustive list of quantitative validation tests would satisfy the requirements of the IFRS 9 standard.

Team sports performance analysis usually uses samples of high performance teams and athletes. Those studies, although useful to trainers and players, are hardly applicable on different contexts. The goal of this study was to analyze the effects of the situational variables on the final score and competition in youth soccer. To achieve this, all games from a Spanish regional youth soccer league (n=132) were analyzed. Linear regressions were used to check the influence of situational variables (score difference; final league standings; match location; scoring first; cards; substitutions; quality of opponent and field surface) on the outcome of the game, final team standings and game location. Results show the importance that the match location, scoring first, rival team quality, substitutions and cards have on the match’s outcome, meanwhile the linear regression highlights the effect of scoring first, rival team quality, and substitutions on the final team standings.Resumen. El análisis del rendimiento deportivo en deportes de equipo usa habitualmente muestras equipos y deportistas de alto rendimiento deportivo. Estos estudios, aunque de una gran utilidad para entrenadores y jugadores, son difícilmente aplicables a otros contextos. El objetivo de este estudio fue analizar los efectos de las variables situacionales en el resultado final del partido y la competición en fútbol juvenil. Para ello, se analizaron todos los partidos de una liga de categoría juvenil regional española (n= 132). Se utilizó la regresión lineal para comprobar la influencia de las variables situacionales (diferencia de goles en el partido; clasificación final del equipo; localización del partido; marcar primero; amonestaciones; sustituciones; la calidad del oponente y la superficie de juego) en el resultado, la clasificación final y la localización del partido. Los resultados ponen de manifiesto la importancia que en el resultado final del partido tiene la localización del partido, anotar primero, la calidad del oponente, las sustituciones y las amonestaciones, mientras que, en la clasificación final, la regresión lineal destaca el efecto de anotar el primer gol, la calidad de la oposición y las sustituciones.

Abstract. White-Space Face responses on (primarily) Rorschach Cards II (WS or DS5) and X (WS or DdS30) have traditionally been scored Form Minus and regarded as pathological indicators of impaired reality testing, poor cognitive focusing, even psychosis/brain damage. These responses may now surpass the frequency cut-off for unusual/minus form level scoring. Puzzlingly, recent research moves these “faces in the clouds” from “abnormal” toward statistical “normality.” Attachment theory/research is combined with an object relations perspective and infant face perception research to suggest that these responses are the face of cradle-to-grave object-seeking needs, something urgent, vital, but not always rational, ultimately contributing to identity formation. It is more important to try and understand these responses, rather than simply rescore them.

The validity of the Koppitz Developmental scoring system in identifying organic impairment among functionally impaired adolescents was challenged in the current study. It was proposed that there are two distinct subtypes of errors in this system: those that are valid indicators of organic impairment (Category A) and those which are not but occur as a function of specific emotional factors (Category B). 46 male adolescents with a primary diagnosis of Conduct Disorder, Oppositional Defiant Disorder, or Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder were administered the Bender-Gestalt once using the standard order of administration and once in reverse order. It was hypothesized that more errors would be committed on cards presented later than those presented earlier in sequence for Category B but not Category A errors. Analysis provided partial support for this hypothesis.

Performance in Team Sports: Identifying the Keys to Success in SoccerThe aim of this study was to identify specific performance indicators that discriminate the top clubs from the others based on significantly different pitch action performance in the Spanish Soccer League. All 380 games corresponding to the 2008-2009 season have been analyzed. The studied variables were divided into three groups related to goals scored (goals for, goals against, total shots, shots on goal, shooting accuracy, shots for a goal), offense (assists, crosses, offsides committed, fouls received, corners, ball possession) and defense (crosses against, offsides received, fouls committed, corners against, yellow cards, red cards). Data were analyzed performing a one-way ANOVA. Significant differences across sections of the league table were found for the following pitch actions: goals for, total shots, shots on goal, shots for a goal, assists and ball possession. The main findings of this study suggest that top teams had a higher average of goals for, total shots and shots on goal than middle and bottom teams (p<0.05). Bottom teams needed a higher number of shots for scoring a goal than the other groups of teams (p<0.05). Middle teams showed a lower value in assists and ball possession than top teams (p<0.05). In conclusion, this paper presents values that can be used as normative data to design and evaluate practices and competitions for peak performance soccer teams in a collective way.

The Tell-Me-A-Story (TEMAS) narrative test is a multicultural measure developed for both minority and nonminority children and adolescents. As the off-spring of the Thematic Apperception Test (TAT), it enhances several narrative features, including the use of chromatic cards, diminished ambiguity and structured pictorial stimuli of the cards, familiar and contemporary themes, problem-solving situations, and an objective scoring system. This article describes the standardization of the TEMAS in the US, the validation of the Orthodox Jewish version of the TEMAS, and the internal reliability of the Argentinian version of the TEMAS. In the US, the test was normed on a sample of 642 children (281 boys and 361 girls) from public schools in the New York City area, ages 5–13 years, with a mean age of 8.9 years (SD = 1.9). The total sample represented four ethnic/racial groups: Puerto Rican and other Hispanic, Black, and White children. The TEMAS measures 10 personality functions, 18 cognitive functions, and seven affective functions. This paper presents two studies. The first study describes the reliability of the TEMAS measurement, using the Argentinian version of the TEMAS. The second study provides the rationale as well as the procedures for developing culturally suitable pictures, and also presents novel data for the cultural validity of the Orthodox Jewish version of the TEMAS. Overall, these results provide support for TEMAS as a reliable and culturally valid tool for the measurement of cognitive, personality, and affective functioning.

Background: The study was designed to identify value of structured viva (SV) as an assessment tool, to ascertain its correlation with unstructured viva (UV) and to find relationship between viva and theory examination results.Methods: This prospective and observational study was conducted on a total of 135 students of the 2nd professional MBBS. All students faced two viva sessions (SV and UV), each of 10 marks on same topics in general pharmacology and autonomic nervous system. Time limit per student was 10 minutes. SV was conducted on pre-validated, standardized cards (n=40) with 5 questions in each card and 0.5 marks of each question. By draw of lots to be performed by students themselves, each student was given 4 cards. One week prior to the viva, the theory examination of 40 marks on same topics was conducted.Results: The mean marks of all students in SV (3.46±1.44) were significantly lower (P <0.0001) than those of UV (4.61±2.02). There was significant less deviation of mean marks in all groups of SV (P <0.05). The mean percentage marks of SV (34.63±14.37%) had similarities with results of theory examination (34.67±10.49%) (P=0.9720), while the difference between mean percentage marks of UV (46.15±20.19%) and theory was statistically highly significant (P <0.0001).Conclusions: SV increases objectivity and reduces subjectivity as compared to UV because of similar pattern of questions, difficulty levels and standardised scoring system. SV provides an opportunity to measure how well students can apply knowledge. Thus, SV can be used for formative and summative assessment.

Abstract A 15-year-old, 38 ha Douglas-fir/Sitka spruce plantation within the upper Hoh River valley in western Washington was the test site for aerial spray trials of Orthene and Metasystox-R against the Sitka spruce weevil in 1982 and 1983, respectively. A helicopter equipped with a 15.25-m spray boom with 64 nozzles along its length (#325 and #228, alternated; #46 swirl plates) was used for both tests; only the #325 nozzles were used in 1983. Four 1.6 to 2.0-ha rectangular treatment plots were established at random within the plantation. Spruce stocking density was ca. 900 trees/ha, and trees ranged 2-12 m in height in 1982. In the 1982 acephate test, Kromekote spray cards recorded droplet deposition, and weevils plus spruce material from sprayed and unsprayed areas were collected subsequent to treatment for mortality and oviposition assessment. Efficacy evaluations were carried out in August of both years by scoring all spruce within 10-m radius subplots for presence or absence of visible, weevil-induced leader damage. Three subplots were randomly located at least 15 m inside each of the 4 treated plots; an equal number of subplots were similarly located in unsprayed areas.

Chronic Disease Management Program (PROLANIS) is one of programs conducted by Indonesian Healthcare Social Insurance Organization. Prolanis program’s target is making chronic disease patient achieve the optimal quality of life through the effective and efficient health service costs and prevent any disease complications [3]. Prolanis activities consist of medical or educational consultation, reminder, club activities and health-status monitoring which is done periodically. Clinical Documentation Improvement (CDI) is a program facilitating the realization of patients’ accurate clinical-status. Prolanis application was made to monitor the health status patients periodically. An evaluation must be done especially on real-time aspect to make prolanis application perfect. This research was descriptive and quantitative analytic research with cross sectional approach by using scoring method. The research results revealed that the value of information quality on real-time aspect regarding the implementation of prolanis application on overall score interpretation was in good category (79,3%%). The highest real-time aspect was found in the patients’ identity items written on BPJS cards and the health chart was 83,3%, while the lowest item of personnel data and DM report was 73,3%. These analysis results can be used to make prolanis application more perfect so that it will fulfill the needs of CDI.

Abstract. The Thematic Apperception Test is one of the most frequently administered apperceptive techniques. Formal scoring systems are helpful in evaluating story responses. TAT stories, made by 20 males and 20 females in the situation of legal divorce proceedings, were coded for detection and comparison of their personal problem solving ability. The evaluating instrument utilized was the Personal Problem Solving System-Revised (PPSS-R) as developed by G. F. Ronan. The results indicate that in relation to card 1, men more often than women saw the cause of the problem as removable. With card 6GF, women were more motivated to resolve the given problem than were men, women had a higher personal control and their stories contained more optimism compared to men’s stories. In relation to card 6BM women, more often than men, used emotions generated from the problem to orient themselves within the problem. With card 13MF, the men’s level of stress was less compared to that of the women, and men were more able to plan within the context of problem-solving. Significant differences in the examined groups were found in those cards which depicted significant gender and parental potentials. The TAT can be used to help identify personality characteristics and gender differences.

Background: To compare level of satisfaction of the patients receiving ramosetron and ondansetron in prevention of acute and delayed nausea and vomiting associated with cisplatin chemotherapy.Methods: 60 patients were recruited in the study. Patients were randomly allocated to ramosetron (R) and ondansetron group (O). Patients were screened between day 1 and day 7. Study visits included clinic visits on day 8, day 9 and day 14. Patient diaries were used to record patients’ global satisfaction which was based on severity of nausea and vomiting using visual analogue scale (VAS), recorded daily until day 12 starting from day 8. On 14th day the patient diary cards were collected back.Results: VAS score was significantly lower in R group (46.2±4.95) as compared to O group (63.7±5.06) (p<0.01) in acute phase of nausea and vomiting indicating level of satisfaction higher in R group. Similarly, in delayed and overall phase R group (49.57±14.63 and 48.9±12.91 respectively) experienced lower range of scoring on VAS scale as compared to O group (63.0±8.49 and 63.10±7.38 respectively). The difference was statistically significant (p<0.01).Conclusions: Level of overall satisfaction of the patients in R group was significantly higher as compared to O group in patients receiving the two drugs for prevention of nausea and vomiting caused by cisplatin chemotherapy in head and neck cancer patients.

Full textAbstract:
The article tells about the first didactic development in the history of Russian music pedagogy on elementary music theory, created in the 1930s by Rostov composer and teacher Tikhon Ivanovich Sotnikov for the independent development of musical and theoretical knowledge. The author of the article points out that the need to create such an educational and methodological manual for self-study was dictated by the current situation in the cultural life of the USSR since the 1930s, when there was an active growth of amateur artistic activity in the country. The gradual complication of the repertoire of collectives required the growth of musical literacy of its participants. Analyzing the historical situation, the author states that despite the developing system of music education, there were not enough schools and qualified music teachers nationwide. The situation was aggravated by the war years, when many libraries and archives were destroyed, and even the search for educational literature presented a significant problem for those who wanted to study musical literacy. The table and thematic cards developed by Sotnikov for independent studies contained not just brief information on musical literacy, but also made it possible to train theoretical knowledge in practice without the participation of a teacher. In addition, the versatility of the Rostov composer's development was also in the fact that his methodology for independent studies could be used in tandem with any of the textbooks on music theory that existed at that time. The idea was highly appreciated by professors of the leading musical universities of the USSR and was recommended for publication nationwide. In conclusion, the author of the article comes to the conclusion that in the context of the historical situation of the mid-twentieth century in the USSR, Sotnikov's development was not just relevant, but with timely publication could have a revolutionary significance for the development of musical culture in the country, and its significance for the history of music pedagogy is undeniable.

Abstract Purpose To assess whether a novel evaluation tool could guide curricular change in an internal medicine residency program. Method The authors developed an 8-item Ecological Momentary Assessment tool and collected daily evaluations from residents of the relative educational value of 3 differing ambulatory morning report formats (scale: 8 = best, 0 = worst). From the evaluations, they made a targeted curricular change and used the tool to assess its impact. Results Residents completed 1388 evaluation cards for 223 sessions over 32 months, with a response rate of 75.3%. At baseline, there was a decline in perceived educational value with advancing postgraduate (PGY) year for the overall mean score (PGY-1, 7.4; PGY-2, 7.2; PGY-3, 7.0; P < .01) and for percentage reporting greater than 2 new things learned (PGY-1, 77%; PGY-2, 66%; PGY-3, 50%; P < .001). The authors replaced the format of a lower scoring session with one of higher cognitive content to target upper-level residents. The new session's mean score improved (7.1 to 7.4; P = .03); the adjusted odds ratios before and after the change for percentage answering, “Yes, definitely” to “Area I need to improve” was 2.53 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.45–4.42; P = .001) and to “Would recommend to others,” it was 2.08 (95% CI, 1.12–3.89; P = .05). Conclusions The Ecological Momentary Assessment tool successfully guided ambulatory morning report curricular changes and confirmed successful curricular impact. Ecological Momentary Assessment concepts of multiple, frequent, timely evaluations can be successfully applied in residency curriculum redesign.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the Serbia UEFA Futsal Euro 2016 competitions in terms of some variables. Range of goals scored by winner and defeated teams in form of 5 minute periods, shots on goal, corner, contributing to the score by starting 5 and substitutes, fouls, yellow-red cards, the range of goals according to shot techniques and goal zones were examined. While a total of 129 goals were scored with an average of 6.45 goals per game, with 25 goals (19.38%) most goals was scored between 36 and 40 minutes. 41.1% of goals were scored in penalty area, 58.9% of goals were scored from outside penalty area. While the rate of shots on goal in winner teams was 55.6%, this rate in defeated teams was 44.4%. In winner teams the players started in first 5 scored 50 goals (56.8%) and players joined from bench scored 38 goals (43.2%) and in defeated teams the first 5 scored 21 goals (60%) and the players joined from bench scored only 14 goals (40%). Winner teams while playing with flying keeper has scored 1 goal (16.7%) and conceded no goal; also, the defeated teams have scored 5 goals (83.3%) and conceded 13 goals when flying keeper in game. Substitutions in winner teams scored 133 goals, in defeated teams only 31 goals were scored by substitutions. As a result; accurate shots on goal, scoring in between 36-40th minutes, starting in first 5 and also joining from bench are accepted as an important factor to win a match, but despite providing an advantage of attacking with more player, the flying keeper tactic is not considered an effective element of winning the game according to the analysis of the data.

Full textAbstract:
The article presents a study to study various instrumental methods for analyzing passenger traffic in public transport on route networks and stopping points, including video analysis, a method based on contactless smart cards, a weight method, a method based on infrared sensors, a natural method and an electronic registration turnstile. To achieve the goal of the study, an analysis of domestic and foreign sources of scientific literature was used, as well as a comparative and logical analysis of methods for examining passenger traffic for their subsequent assessment. Tasks were performed, such as analyzing the most common methods for surveying passenger traffic, identifying the advantages and disadvantages of each method, as well as comparing the methods with each other using the index approach. For the study, the parameters were identified, which were used for comparison: cost, complexity, accuracy, frequency, efficiency of data acquisition, determination of the direction of movement, coverage, length, possibility of use, independence, labor intensity. According to the results of the analysis, the advantages and disadvantages of the studied methods were revealed in the form of assigned points. Due to the unevenness of the estimates in the parameters, the usual scoring system was not suitable for presenting the results of comparison of methods, therefore the index approach was applied. As a result of the study, a universal method for examining the passenger traffic of the route network and stopping points in the form of video analysis was revealed. The device for weight analysis showed the worst indicator of versatility. Based on the results obtained, it can be assumed that for different purposes they may turn out to be completely different. In addition, innovative solutions that are currently available in the field of transportation can be applied to reduce the number of disadvantages to the traditional methods described in this article, which means that further research is possible.

Full textAbstract:
Background: This study aimed to identify whether a 5 Step Exertional Rehabilitation Protocol including a submaximal multi-directional stage (Step 5) has clinical utility for functional activity and sport clearance. Exertional Rehabilitation (EP) is a graded protocol of aerobic exercise ranging from light linear exertion (Step 1) to submaximal linear exertion (Step 4)1,2. In our 5 Step Protocol, Step 4 is followed by standardized multi-directional functional movements at high intensity intervals (Step 5) to rule out ongoing exertional intolerance. Hypothesis/Purpose: We aim to investigate if Step 5 testing demonstrates statistical evidence for its use in determining concussion recovery timelines and its diagnostic usefulness. Methods: This retrospective-chart review analyzed 60 Step 5 EP test attempts in post-concussion patients, ages 21 or younger, between Jun2019-Jun2020. Tolerance was determined by a concussion specialist who evaluated for the onset of signs/symptoms by surveying the patient throughout exercise and autonomic assessment with cardiac monitoring and pre/post orthostatic testing. Pre/Post exertion King-Devic (K-D) and vestibular testing on Force Plate were completed following Balance Error Scoring System positions. A positive change in K-D was defined as a ≥2 second delay in score on two of three reading cards from the pre-exertion testing. A positive change in vestibular testing was defined as a ≥0.2deg/sec change in the composite balance score from the pre-exertion testing. Results: The total number of failed Step 5 attempts was 21.7%. Of the failed attempts, 38.5% demonstrated dysautonomia, 92.35% had symptoms, and 30.8% demonstrated both dysautonomia and symptoms. Force Plate balance scores significantly worsened in failed attempts 15.4% of the time while passed attempts only 2.1% of the time. K-D scores did not show a statistically significant difference although failed attempts did have slightly worsened scores. Conclusion: Formal Step 5 testing is a useful diagnostic tool for understanding recovery stage, activity tolerance, and sport clearance. Autonomic, visual, and vestibular testing can be useful as objective markers of test tolerance.

e22032 Background: Lung cancer targeted therapy is largely limited by inevitable recurrent resistant disease after initial response to epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs), typically accompanied with divergent late acquired resistance mechanisms. We now focused on studying the emergence of early adaptive resistance to uncover attractive therapeutic targets to overcome drug resistance. Methods: HCC827 cells were treated with EGFR-TKI (0-9 days) with apoptosis pathway-specific QPCR array and TLVM analysis performed. MTS and crystal violet assays were performed. Western blot analysis was performed to examine prosurvival signaling developed against erlotinib, alone or in combination with MET inhibitor SU11274. IHC was performed on lung cancer tumor microarray (TMA) using BCL-2 and caspase-recruitment domain-containing protein 8 (CARD8) antibodies and graded (4 tier scoring system). NSCLC cell lines and murine xenograft models (HCC827, H1975) were developed for resistance biomarkers expression analysis in pre-/post-TKI treatment using anti-human CARD8, p-STAT3 and BCL-2 antibodies. Results: We characterized the emergence of early resistant lung cancer cells in escape against targeted TKIs with 100-fold higher IC50 in adaptive drug resistance. The resistant cells that evaded EGFR-TKI based targeted inhibition exhibited MET-independent induction of CARD8 and STAT3/BCL-2 mitochondrial prosurvival signaling in cellular quiescence, and inhibited cytoskeletal functions. Expression analysis studies demonstrated common tumor-associated expression of CARD8 but relatively low BCL-2 level in NSCLC. In vitro cell line studies suggest that CARD8 induction was preceded by a resurgence of STAT3 activation. In vivo xenograft model (HCC827/erlotinib; H1975/erlotinib+ SU11274) also verified upregulated CARD8/BCL-2 activation within early resistant cells. Conclusions: Resistant tumor cells that evaded EGFR inhibitors, alone or in combination with MET inhibitors, exhibited increased expression of CARD8-STAT3/BCL-2 prosurvival signaling cascade. Further studies to define the mechanism of CARD8 in promoting adaptive tumor drug resistance would be warranted.

Full textAbstract:
The paper presents a procedure for evaluating couples for clinical as well as for screening purposes such as assessing couples for therapy or for adoptive parenting. The procedure combines individual evaluation (a clinical interview, two subtests of the WAIS-R, the Rorschach, and TAT), with couple evaluation (Consensus Rorschach and Consensus TAT). The author describes her method for administering and scoring the Consensus Rorschach and of administering and analyzing the Consensus TAT as follows: Having completed an individual Rorschach and TAT, in the couple stage the partners discuss each card and try to reach agreements on one or more responses, and to create together stories about several TAT cards. The examiner tape-records the process, and notes patterns of interaction, such as who presses for agreements; who dominates the decisions; are they flexible or rigid and defensive; do they negotiate with a sense of respect for self and other or do they fight about autonomy, control, or power. Each Rorschach response is scored according to the Exner system, and a structural summary for the couple’s record is constructed. Then each response gets an Interaction score developed by the author (see Table 2 ). (Readers are referred to other publications by the author, describing this procedure and several relational styles of couples. See references.) This method offers a representation of the couple dynamics and makes possible an appraisal of the process as well as the final product of the couple’s interaction. While in the individual tests each spouse creates for the examiner his unique interpretation of reality, in the relational part we watch the couple’s effort to integrate each spouse’s individual “script” – i.e., his/her interpretation of reality and of the relationship – and to create a “couple script.” Spouses often experience surprise and even dismay at the dissimilarity of their perception, while others feel intrigued and excited at the opportunity of seeing things in a different, new way. In some cases relief or joy is experienced at seeing things the same way. A number of vignettes illustrate how the unique style of the couple emerges in their test interaction, revealing their positive resources as well as their problematic areas. An extended case is presented, of a couple in the stage of courtship, hesitating on the verge of getting married. Each spouse’s background material and test material are presented and analyzed (see Tables 3 and 4 ), and some hypotheses are made as to their inner needs from a partner and their inhibitions about commitment to an intimate relationship. The interaction reveals their struggle in the first stages of creating a “couple script,” as each of them presents his personae, but also reveals his hidden needs and fears, and his projected image of the other. Focusing on issues of dependence and of aggression, the reader can see what these two young people need from each other. The man, Ami, impresses and attracts the woman, Irit, with his strong, coping, and ambitious personae. But he needs her to contain his insecurity and dependency needs, as well as to support his needs to develop and become what he strives for. Irit needs Ami to accept and even admire her hidden fiery, imaginative qualities, but also to respect her individuality and not try to dominate her. She also unconsciously yearns for his help in restoring parts of her repressed, lost self. On the basis of this material the author suggests ways of using the feedback session and the written report for counseling and for planning psychotherapy.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Financial toxicity (FT) has been consistently demonstrated to a be a major contributor to morbidity and mortality in a variety of cancers. However, the vast majority of research examining this issue has been in solid tumors, and there has been less investigation of how this concept applies in malignant hematology and even fewer studies looking at an interventional model. This pilot study attempts to identify patients at high-risk due to FT in a busy clinical environment and improve clinical outcomes with comprehensive intervention. Methods: All patients seen at the Malignant Hematology Clinic at the Levine Cancer Institute, a tertiary hospital-based specialty practice, were surveyed at their visits over a six-month period. All patients were aged ≥18 years and diagnosed with hematologic malignancy or bone marrow failure syndrome. The survey consisted of the PROMIS Global-10 measure and two questions from the COST measure. FT was defined as scoring 5 or less (maximum: 10) in agreement with the COST questions: "I know that I have enough money in savings, retirement, or assets to cover the costs of my treatment" and "I am satisfied with my current financial situation." Patients with FT were entered into the interventional cohort and scheduled for a visit with a nurse navigator where they completed a standardized worksheet to identify gaps in care and opportunities for grant funding/other assistance. Patients were seen by a clinical pharmacist for copay review and discussion of assistance programs. Finally, patients were offered the services of a community pro-bono financial planner for help with budgeting, asset management, and general financial advice. Patients were tracked longitudinally for assistance provided, changes in PROMIS scores, and clinical outcomes. Categorical variables, including responses to survey questions, were summarized with frequencies and proportions, while continuous variables were summarized with medians and ranges. Correlation of FT screening scores and COST scores was assessed with Spearman's correlation. Baseline versus post-intervention PROMIS scores were compared with paired t-tests, while McNemar tests for agreement were used to compare ER and IP utilization 3 months prior versus post intervention. Results: A total of 107 patients were included in the intervention. Specific characteristics of the intervention population are listed in Table 1. FT screening scores were found to correlate with the full COST measure (Spearman correlation = 0.45, p <.001). Patients in the intervention cohort had high rates of noncompliance due to inability to afford prescription medications (16.8%), OTC medications (15.9%), and doctor visits (6.5%). In order to pay for their care, patients reported reducing spending on food and clothing (48.6%), using savings to cover OOP expenses (51.4%), and partially filling prescriptions (11.2%) (Table 2). In terms of the intervention, 37.4% of patients were found to qualify for and were helped to obtain grants from external foundations. The median value of these grants was $850 (range: $100-$17,850). Through manufacturer's assistance and other programs, the clinical pharmacy team was able to obtain free or greatly reduced cost medications for the qualified patients at a median retail value of $197,158 (range: $29,909-$639,801). Gas cards, food pantry assistance, and transportation assistance were also supplied to patients who qualified at a median value of $300 ($100-$300). 58 patients (54.2%) expressed interest and were scheduled with a pro-bono financial counselor. The intervention resulted in statistically significantly higher quality of life when measured by PROMIS physical and mental health scores, compared to baseline scores (Table 3) (all p <.001). There was no significant difference found when looking at patients with at least one ER visit 3 months prior and post intervention (10.3% vs 6.5% p=.317). There was no difference between inpatient visits/days pre and post intervention. Conclusions: Using a quick screening method for FT in a busy clinical environment is feasible and allows identification of an extremely high-risk population. Intervening on FT in a comprehensive way including navigators, pharmacists, and financial counselors is effective and leads to increased quality of life.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of an ultra-diluted complex supplementation as a prophylactic strategy on immunity, performance, and respiratory scores of weaned Holstein calves immediately after grouping. Thirty-six weaned Holstein female calves (80.4±1.3 days old; 105.6±10.4 kg) were allocated to 6 pens (n=6 per pen) in a completely randomized design experiment in a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. During a 28 days period, animals received a total mixed ration and were enrolled into two different groups (n=18 per group): 1) Control (basal diet + calcium carbonate, top-dressed at 30 g/animal/d – ultra-diluted placebo vehicle), or 2) ultra-diluted complex (basal diet + TopVita™-Real H, top-dressed at 30 g/animal/d – Sulphur:10-60 + Viola tricolor:10-14 + Caladium seguinum:10-30 + Zincum oxydatum:10-30 + Phosphorus:10-60 + Cardus marianus:10-60 + Colibacillinum:10-30 + Podophyllum:10-30 + Vehicle: calcium carbonate; q.s. 1kg). Blood samples were collected from each heifer at enrollment and 28 days later to assess polymorphonuclear leukocyte (PMNL) function and blood cell count. Body weight was assessed at enrollment and 28 days later at the end of the study. Regarding respiratory-screening process, a calf scoring system modified for calves in group pens was used. There was no effect of prophylactic ultra-diluted treatment on PMNL, nor it affected lymphocytes count and its ratio. Besides, the ultra-diluted product did not affect body weight and ADG. Further, no effect was observed in respiratory scores throughout the study period. In conclusion, the ultra-diluted complex did not improve blood cells count and PMNL function, nor it had impact on the performance of weaned Holstein calves after grouping.

Full textAbstract:
Summary Comprehensive and meaningful policy analysis in the field of physical activity is difficult, not least because of the variable influence of other policy domains. However, in 2011 a Policy Assessment Tool (PAT) was developed by members of the WHO European Network for the Promotion of Health-Enhancing Physical Activity (HEPA Europe) and tested in several different countries. In 2014, Wales joined a global initiative, active healthy kids (AHK) Global Alliance, that supported the development of country level ‘Report Cards’ scoring a range of indicators that influence physical activity amongst children and young people, one of which was labelled ‘Government Strategies and Investments’. For the first two Report Cards this indicator and its associated ‘score’ was informed subjectively by expert consensus. In 2018, it was decided to utilize the Policy Audit Tool Version 2 (PAT v2) developed by HEPA Europe to aid analysis and to develop and test a scoring rubric aligned to the tool. The subsequent process indicated that the tool could be applied and translated into a ‘grade’ that could be used in conjunction with the other indicators of the AHK Report Card to generate overall Report Card grades. The use of both the HEPA PAT v2 and the scoring rubric offers an opportunity to provide greater consistency and potential for developing both comparative and trend data when assessing policy impact on physical activity in children and young people. These tools should be utilized by the AHK Global Alliance in future Report Cards.

AbstractThe aim of the current study is to analyze the effects of red and yellow cards on the scoring rate in elite soccer. The sample was composed of 1826 matches in the top five European leagues. All events were structured in 5-min intervals and were analyzed by means of a Generalized Linear Mixed Model with Poisson distribution, considering the presence of correlated data, where the dependent variable is represented by scoring rate. Team strength and home advantage were considered implicitly by means of a transformation of the betting odds for each game. The model also took into account the goal difference and time evolution. Overall, we found that after a sending off, each team’s scoring rate changes significantly, damaging the penalised team and favouring its opponent. When the player who is sent off belongs to the Away team, the impact of a red card is more or less maintained over time intervals. The red card effect, on the other hand, tends to fade over time when the affected team is stronger. The relative difference in scoring rates is also affected by the goal difference and the difference in booked players, being slightly lower for the team going ahead if it has more booked players. Our approach allows estimating the expected cumulative soring rate through time for various red card scenarios. Particularly if a red card is given with 30 min of remaining time, the expected impact is 0.39 goals if the guilty player is on the visiting team and 0.50 if he plays for the home team. Coaches and analysts could use this information to establish objectives for players and teams in training and matches and to be prepared for these very different scenarios of numerical superiority or inferiority.

This research aimed at improving the students’ speaking skill at grade VII of SMP Islamiyah Pontianak in the academic year of 2019/2020 through cue cards media. This classroom action research was conducted in three cycles; on November 14th, 21st and 28th respectively. It involved 22 seventh grader students as well as the English teacher as the collaborator. The data were taken from the observation, field notes and speaking task. The data of speaking was obtained by speaking task which was assessed through scoring rubric. The result showed that students’ problems in grammar and vocabulary had been solved by using Cue Cards media. The most interesting part of this research was, the cue cards could break the ice among the students as there are pictures and questions which stimulate students’ prior knowledge and could be used as handy clues for them during the learning process. Furthermore, the students’ speaking improved constantly from cycle 1 (the highest score was 48, 3 students got score 48), cycle 2 (the highest score was 64, 2 students got score 64) and cycle 3 (the highest score was 84, 6 students had not achieved the minimum score which is 75). Not only their individual speaking achievement got improved, but also their interest in learning. It was shown by the students’ enthusiasm to pay attention and involve actively in doing every activity during teaching and learning process by using cue cards. Keywords: Speaking, Cue Cards, Media

AbstractThis paper employs a Skellam process to represent real-time betting odds for English Premier League (EPL) soccer games. Given a matrix of market odds on all possible score outcomes, we estimate the expected scoring rates for each team. The expected scoring rates then define the implied volatility of an EPL game. As events in the game evolve, we re-estimate the expected scoring rates and our implied volatility measure to provide a dynamic representation of the market’s expectation of the game outcome. Using a dataset of 1520 EPL games from 2012–2016, we show how our model calibrates well to the game outcome. We illustrate our methodology on real-time market odds data for a game between Everton and West Ham in the 2015–2016 season. We show how the implied volatility for the outcome evolves as goals, red cards, and corner kicks occur. Finally, we conclude with directions for future research.

Full textAbstract:
In the financial and economic crisis context, which is characterized by an increase in the number of insolvent business entities of the credit market, there are an increase in the share of doubtful loans in loan portfolios of the banks and the issue of studying the assessment of the creditworthiness of borrowers of a commercial bank becomes especially relevant. The article considered various approaches to the interpretation of the essence of the creditworthiness of borrowers and various methods for assessing the creditworthiness of potential customers of banks, such as regression models, neural networks, a classification tree, genetic algorithms, scoring cards, which are the main tools for data mining. Note that the different models can be applied at various stages of assessing a bank's credit risk. The analysis of the assessment of the creditworthiness of borrowers by banks gave grounds to propose a credit-scoring model. The model is presented in the form of a scoring card, which is based on the results of evaluating the logistic regression. Scoring maps are constructed on the assumption that «the past reflects the future». Accordingly, based on data on previously opened loans and analyzing the available information, it is possible to predict the result (behavior) of future borrowers. To create a scoring card, the following business process was considered: the manager of a partner store of the bank fills in the client's personal data, after which the form is sent to several banks for consideration. Banks review the application, obtain information from external sources, and make decisions. The bank, in turn, must quickly and efficiently assess the client and immediately indicate the agreed loan. The scoring model in the form of a scoring card is based on the results of evaluating the logistic regression in the R-Studio software package. The quality of the investigated model was checked by the area under the ROC-curve and the GINI index. According to the results of the study, we can conclude that this model can be included in the automatic decision-making process on the issuance of loans, which will allow banks to 1) reduce the time for a bank to decide to issue a loan; 2) be sure that the loan will be repaid by the borrower; 3) reduce the bank's credit risks.

Full textAbstract:
An average adolescent in Kerala is expected to concentrate on his/her academics and all other key aspects of healthy development like spiritual, psychological and social wellbeing are given scant attention. Middle class parents and teachers often disregard unacceptable behaviors of academically high performing children. Nevertheless as the young person completes education, the world demands competencies not taught in schools and when the critical time of acquisition of these core competencies are long past. In consequence young adults face serious interpersonal difficulties in both personal and professional life. The present study is an attempt to find out whether better academic performance contributes to happiness and increased self esteem among adolescents. A sample of 150 students (75 girls and 75 boys) between 13 to 18 years of age was selected for the study. Self Esteem Rating Scale (SERS), Depression – Happiness Scale (DHS) and recent annual report cards were used to collect quantitative data. The results indicate that there is no significant difference between academically high performing and low performing students in happiness or self esteem i.e. better academic performance does not ensure happiness or positive self esteem. There is positive correlation (r=0.54**) between self esteem and happiness. Happier children have better self esteem (t=5.27**) than depressed children. The results of this study reveal that happiness and self esteem are independent of academic performance and parents and educators must focus on holistic development not just on scoring well in exams.

Abstract Background Feedback is essential in a self-regulated learning environment such as medical education. When feedback channels are widely spread, the need arises for a system of integrating this information in a single platform. This article reports on the design and initial testing of a feedback tool for medical students at Charité-Universitätsmedizin, Berlin, a large teaching hospital. Following a needs analysis, we designed and programmed a feedback tool in a user-centered approach. The resulting interface was evaluated prior to release with usability testing and again post release using quantitative/qualitative questionnaires. Results The tool we created is a browser application for use on desktop or mobile devices. Students log in to see a dashboard of “cards” featuring summaries of assessment results, a portal for the documentation of acquired practical skills, and an overview of their progress along their course. Users see their cohort’s average for each format. Learning analytics rank students’ strengths by subject. The interface is characterized by colourful and simple graphics. In its initial form, the tool has been rated positively overall by students. During testing, the high task completion rate (78%) and low overall number of non-critical errors indicated good usability, while the quantitative data (system usability scoring) also indicates high ease of use. The source code for the tool is open-source and can be adapted by other medical faculties. Conclusions The results suggest that the implemented tool LevelUp is well-accepted by students. It therefore holds promise for improved, digitalized integrated feedback about students’ learning progress. Our aim is that LevelUp will help medical students to keep track of their study progress and reflect on their skills. Further development will integrate users’ recommendations for additional features as well as optimizing data flow.

Abstract Introduction The community score card (CSC) is a participatory monitoring and evaluation tool that has been employed to strengthen the mutual accountability of health system and community actors. In this paper we describe the influence of the CSC on selected maternal and newborn service delivery and utilization indicators. Methods This was a mixed methods study that used both quantitative and qualitative data collection methods. It was implemented in five sub-counties and one town council in Kibuku district in Uganda. Data was collected through 17 key informant interviews and 10 focus group discussions as well as CSC scoring and stakeholder meeting reports. The repeated measures ANOVA test was used to test for statistical significance. Qualitative data was analyzed manually using content analysis. The analysis about the change pathways was guided by the Wild and Harris dimensions of change framework. Results There was an overall improvement in the common indicators across sub-counties in the project area between the 1st and 5th round scores. Almost all the red scores had changed to green or yellow by round five except for availability of drugs and mothers attending Antenatal care (ANC) in the first trimester. There were statistically significant differences in mean scores for men escorting their wives for ante natal care (ANC) (F(4,20) = 5.45, P = 0.01), availability of midwives (F(4,16) =5.77, P < 0.01), availability of delivery beds (F(4,12) =9.00, P < 0.01) and mothers delivering from traditional birth attendants (TBAs), F(4,16) = 3.86, p = 0.02). The qualitative findings suggest that strengthening of citizens’ demand, availability of resources through collaborative problem solving, increased awareness about targeted maternal health services and increased top down performance pressure contributed to positive changes as perceived by community members and their leaders. Conclusions and recommendations The community score cards created opportunities for community leaders and communities to work together to identify innovative ways of dealing with the health service delivery and utilization challenges that they face. Local leaders should encourage the availability of safe spaces for dialogue between communities, health workers and leaders where performance and utilization challenges can be identified and solutions proposed and implemented jointly.

Full textAbstract:
Gambling participation among older people has grown over the years. Elders constitute a large and fast-growing population in Italy, but little empirical evidence describes gambling patterns among older Italian adults and the problem gambling (PG)’s psychosocial determinants, so a range of questions which are crucial to orient prevention strategies remain unanswered. The present study aims to investigate habits, representations, levels of engagement in gambling among Italian elders and the role of loneliness, social support and well-being in explaining their problem with gambling. A convenience sample of 165 participants (mean age: 66.93; SD = 5.73; women: 43.1%) was involved. Gambling activities, habits, representations and PG rates were examined. A group “at moderate risk/problem gambling” (scoring >7 on PGSI, n = 40) and a control group (scoring 0 on PGSI, n = 40) were selected from the whole sample, balanced on socio-demographic characteristics; a one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to compare the two groups on the target psychosocial variables. 11.5% of the sample was found to meet the PGSI criteria for PG; 26.7% for moderate risk; 11.5% for problem gambling; 50.3% were classified as no-problem gamblers. Scratch cards were the main form of gambling among all groups; the chance to make more money and to distract oneself from other problems were the main reasons to gamble. Finally, the group “at moderate risk/problem gambling,” compared to the control group, expressed higher loneliness, as well as lower perceived social support and well-being.RésuméLa pratique des jeux de hasard chez les personnes plus âgées augmente au fil des années. Les aînés représentent un segment important et à croissance rapide de la population en Italie, mais peu de données empiriques décrivent les habitudes de pratique de jeux de hasard des adultes italiens plus âgés et les déterminants psychosociaux du jeu compulsif. Tout un éventail de questions essentielles à l’orientation des stratégies de prévention reste sans réponse. La présente étude se penche sur les habitudes, les représentations et les niveaux de pratique de jeux de hasard chez les aînés italiens, ainsi que le rôle de la solitude, du soutien social et du bien-être pour expliquer leurs problèmes liés au jeu, à l’aide d’un échantillon de commodité de 165 participants (moyenne d’âge : 66,93; écart-type de la population = 5.73; femmes : 43,1 %). La pratique des jeux de hasard, les habitudes, les représentations et le jeu compulsif ont été examinés. Un groupe « à risque moyen/jeu compulsif » (pointage >7 sur l’indice de gravité de jeu compulsif (IGJC), n = 40) et un groupe témoin (pointage de 0 sur l’IGJC, n = 40) ont été choisis parmi l’ensemble de l’échantillon, équilibrés du point de vue des caractéristiques sociodémographiques; une analyse de variance à un critère de classification (ANOVA) a été utilisée pour comparer les deux groupes par rapport aux variables psychosociales cibles. On a constaté que 11,5 % de l’échantillon répondaient aux critères de jeu compulsif de l’IGJC; 26,7 % répondaient aux critères de risque modéré; 11,5 %, aux critères de jeu compulsif; et 50,3 % étaient classés comme des joueurs ne présentant pas de problème. Les cartes à gratter constituaient la forme principale de jeu de hasard dans tous les groupes; les principales raisons de jouer étaient la possibilité de faire plus d’argent et d’oublier d’autres problèmes. Enfin, par rapport au groupe témoin, le groupe « à risque moyen/jeu compulsif » a exprimé un plus grand sentiment de solitude et percevait un moins grand soutien social et un moins grand bien-être.

Full textAbstract:
Opportunities to communicate first-person perspectives are essential for self-determination. However, many autistic youth are excluded from sharing their perspectives, specifically those who are minimally verbal or with lower intellectual functioning. Current challenges to capturing their voices include a lack of appropriate inclusive methodologies. Propose an inclusive strength-oriented method to capture first-person perspectives of autistic adolescents. Our protocol (“Autism Voices”) includes a pre-interview survey and semi-structured interview using universal design strategies. It was piloted with 33 participants who were representative of diverse language and cognitive abilities. A coding scheme was developed to identify communicative acts used by participants and mitigation strategies used by interviewers to enhance communication. Interviewer strategies that enhanced communication included question formulation, use of pictures, offering various output modalities, and flexible implementation of the protocol. Non-verbal and alternative communication responses (e.g. choosing to not respond) were informative to youth’s lived experience, especially for minimally verbal participants. Overall, our results highlight that communication goes beyond verbally answering questions and that participants’ unconventional communication conveyed rich information. Autism Voices provides a promising method to promote the inclusion of autistic youth in research. Lay Abstract The perspective of autistic individuals is often left uncaptured, and as a result they are often excluded from making decisions that impact them. Conventional communication can be challenging for many autistic individuals, especially those who are minimally verbal or who have an associated intellectual disability. Currently, a lack of appropriate methods to capture voices across the spectrum is a barrier. In the present study, we developed the Autism Voices protocol using universal design principles to capture the perspectives and experiences of autistic youth with a range of language or intellectual abilities. This protocol was then used with 33 autistic youth aged 11 to 18 years. A scoring rubric was developed to capture the unconventional communication used by the participants and the mitigation strategies used by interviewers to facilitate the interview. Many components of the protocol were found to effectively facilitate communication between the participant and interviewer, including the use of picture cards to support verbal questions/prompts, the fact that participants could respond with their preferred communication methods (writing, texting, pointing), and the fact that interviews were applied flexibly to adapt to each participant. Unconventional communication and mitigation strategies were mostly observed in interviews with minimally verbal individuals, but a fine-grained analysis showed participants were still communicating something through this unconventional communication. Our protocol could help promote the inclusion of more autistic individuals in research and showed that unconventional modes of communication like echolalia provide an understanding that participants’ are invested in conversations and certain topics are more meaningful than others.
