<strong>Abstract: </strong>Adolescence is a significant transitioning phase of life where the young are prone to experiment and engage in risk-taking behaviours such as Substances use. The study objectives were to ascertain the reasons for first-time use of substances, occasions of use, and the sources of availing of banned substances among late adolescents. A quantitative and qualitative study approach was adopted with an exploratory and descriptive research design. Around 532 late adolescent students participated in the study, from colleges in urban & rural areas. The study outcomes high

Atlas cartography of the 21st century is losing its “flagship” status in cartography. Paper atlases have become less attractive in the age of information society. At the same time, electronic atlases either lose competition to other cartographic applications or dissolve among them without having their unique features. Searching for ideas and meanings for new EA concepts, we explored the first atlases’ history to understand their essence, reasons for creation, and success factors.

Many mathematics problems can be solved in different ways or by using different strategies. Good knowledge of arithmetic principles is important for identifying and using strategies that are more sophisticated. For example, the problem “6 + 38 − 35” can be solved through a shortcut strategy where the subtraction “38 − 35 = 3” is performed before the addition “3 + 6 = 9,” a strategy that is derived from the arithmetic principle of associativity. However, both children and adults make infrequent use of this shortcut and the reasons for this are currently unknown. To uncover these reasons, new se

Abstract:

Safety equipment is often specified by human factors engineers/ergonomists, but it is not always used in practice. Thus, safety belts in cars and patient transfer devices in nursing homes are not universally used despite proofs of their effectiveness and (at times) rules governing their usage. This study was performed in several nursing homes and hospitals to determine whether similar reasons were given for Use or Non-Use of patient transfer equipment by nurses. We tested 30 nurses in the first phase to determine typical reasons for Use and Non-Use, followed by testing 47 nurses using rating s

First of all, the number and intensity of manifestations of other pathological processes in the body to enhance the quality of milk (grade, bacterial contamination, etc.). The next factor in the economic condition of both an individual economy and the industry as a whole is the length of the productive period.

The study aimed to establish whether mothers found an education session on lullaby singing beneficial for them and their babies as well as reporting what lullabies were sung and why. Twenty first-time mothers were provided with examples of lullabies and asked to sing lullabies to their babies at bedtime at least four times per week over a six-week period. Data contained in interviews and in diaries kept by the mothers were used to evaluate the value of the education session, the range of lullabies sung and their fr

Background and aims: Opioid maintenance therapy (OMT) is the first-line treatment for opioid use disorder (OUD), reducing opioid use and mortality while improving physical and mental health. However, concomitant substance use remains common, with cannabis being the most frequently used substance. This study assessed the prevalence and clinical correlates of cannabis use in OMT patients, as well as individual motivations. Methods: In this cross-sectional, single-center study, 128 OUD patients (96 male, 32 female) receiving OMT were assessed using standardized questionnaires: the Marijuana Smoki

All verbal threats are phrased and communicated by a sender that may be represented within the threatening message in the form of first-person pronouns (1PPs). Seeking to understand the sender's self-representation in linguistic threats better, we have developed a coding scheme for what we term discourse functions in threatening messages and applied it to utterances containing a 1PP, extracted from a corpus of written, Danish threats. Unsurprisingly, just over half of the 1255 utterances express various types of threatening discourse functions. A less expected finding is the prevalence of just

Historically, antimicrobial evaluation has been based primarily upon expert opinion of ID trained individuals.

At UMass Memorial Medical Center we utilized Spivak’s criteria to measure antimicrobial use within point prevalence studies (PPS) and assessed the ability of Spivak’s criteria to provide consistent results between different evaluators.

This paper explores the reasons why artificial or mineral sources of nitrogen, which were more readily available in Britain than in other European countries, were only slowly adopted by farmers in the decades prior to and during the First World War. It considers why nitrogen in the form of sulphate of ammonia, a by-product of coal-gas (town-gas) manufacture, was increasingly exported from Britain for use by German farmers. At the same time Britain was attempting to monopolise foreign supplies of Chilean nitrate, which was not only a valuable source of fertiliser for agriculture but also an ess
