Impact of parent’s country on wellbeing of multicultural adolescents: Using Korea National multicultural adolescents panel survey

Abstract Impact of parent’s country on wellbeing of multicultural adolescents: Using Korea National multicultural adolescents panel survey This research investigates and describes the association of parent`s relationship on wellbeing of adolescents with a multicultural background. Over the past two decades, the population of multicultural families consisting of a married immigrant or foreigner with Korean citizenship in Korea has grown. Since people with multicultural backgrounds are increasing, children from multicultural families are gradually increasing as well in Korea. The mental health and wellbeing of multicultural adolescent are significant public health concerns in many countries. We used data from Korea National Youth Policy Institute, wave 8th, year 2018 multicultural adolescents panel study MAPS, which included responses from 1,147 individuals. Logistic regression analysis was used to examine the association between depression, worries and concerns, life satisfaction and social withdrawal with other variables. Adolescents whose mother was born abroad are more likely to have depression specifically Chinese or Philippian mothers (OR=1.13; 95% CI, 0.50-2.56) than adolescents whose mothers were native Korean. Female respondents were more like to have depression, worries and less satisfaction with life (OR=1.28; 95% CI, 0.99-1.66) (OR=1.98; 95%CI, 1.51-2.59) (OR=0.75; 95% CI, 0.56-1.01) than male adolescents. Mothers level of education was associated with adolescent’s depression (OR=0.31; 95% CI, 0.13-0.72). As the number of multicultural adolescents is growing in South Korea and this numbers will form future Koreans society, in this matter government and society should understand and implement multicultural family support policies.open석

Analyzing the Correlation between Urban Spaces and Place Attachment Evidence from: Narmak Neighborhood in Tehran

One of the key concerns of urban designers is the influence of urban space on individuals’ satisfaction as well as their attachment to a certain place. Thus, neighborhood social spaces with their design appear to be essential features of residential complexes. The current research purposes not only to elaborate on the part of urban spaces, but also attempts to recommend designing measures for residential complexes. Based on existing literature, the research has considered urban space features by taking into consideration Narmak neighborhood in the east of Tehran. Results confirmed the main role of urban spaces in the attachment to neighborhood. Security and tranquility were the two other important conditions for those inhabitants. Based on these outcomes, it is obvious that the physical characteristics have two significant roles in the neighborhood attachment; first, they simplify social activities and make available occasions to progress social attachment and second, improve qualitative design attributes

TINJAUAN NORMATIF PENERAPAN GERBANG PEMBAYARAN NASIONAL (GPN) OLEH BANK INDONESIA

TINJAUAN NORMATIF PENERAPAN GERBANG PEMBAYARAN NASIONAL (GPN) OLEH BANK INDONESIAFakultas Hukum Universitas Syiah Kuala(v,66) p.p., bibl. Khairani, S.H., M.HumABSTRAKM. Andri Ghafary, 2019Peraturan Bank Indonesia (PBI) No.19/8/PBI/2017 tentang Gerbang Pembayaran Nasional (National Payment Gateway) diluncurkan oleh Bank Indonesia dengandikeluarkannya sistem pembayaran terbaru di Indonesia yang disebut dengan Gerbang Pembayaran Nasional (GPN). GPN memungkinkan pengguna kartu ATM/debit dan/atau kredit berlogo GPN untuk melakukan transaksi di semua kanal pembayaran. Hadirnya GPN sebagai sistem pembayaran baru di Indonesia, disinyalir masih dapat menimbulkan permasalahan-permasalahan yang belum dapat mewadahi kebutuhan dan kepentingan masyarakat yang memakai sistem GPN.Tujuan dari penulisan skripsi ini adalah untuk mengetahui dan menjelaskan kebijakan yang dikeluarkan oleh Bank Indonesia melalui peraturan (PBI)No.19/8/PBI/2017 tentang Gerbang Pembayaran Nasional (National Payment Gateway)dalam mengeluarkan Gerbang Pembayaran Nasional (GPN) sebagai sistem pembayaran terbaru di Indonesia, dan mengkaji permasalahan apa yang dapat timbul dari keb ijakan tersebut, serta mengkaji langkah penyelesaian seperti apa yang dapat diambil untuk menyelesaikan permasalahan yang dihadapi.Penelitian yang digunakan untuk mengkaji permasalahan dalam peneltian ini adalah jenis penelitian normatif. Untuk memperoleh data penelitian, cara yang digunakan adalah dengan melakukan kajian kepustakaan yang bersumber dari buku-buku, undang-undang, jurnal-jurnal dan artikel yang berhubungan dengan permasalahan yang diteliti dalam penelitian ini.Hasil dari penelitian yang dilakukan ini bahwa PBI No.19/8/PBI/2017 tentang Gerbang Pembayaran Nasional (National Payment Gateway) adalah GPN masih memiliki permasalahan-peramasalahan yang masih belum dapat mewadahi kepentingan masyarakat pemegang kartu ATM/debit berlogo GPN, masyarakat yang memakai sistem pembayaran ini masih masih belum dapat melakukan transaksi di berb agai tempat seperti di luar negeri, namun disisi lain peraturan tersebut mewajibkan bank-bank yang mengeluarkan kartu ATM/debit dan/atau kartu kredit mengharuskan nasabah untuk memiliki kartu berlogo GPN, sehingga masyarkat tidak diberikan pilihan selain harus memiliki dua (2) kartu ATM dan/atau debit yang belum tentu digunakan untuk kebutuhannya sendiri.Peraturan mengenai GPN juga masih memiliki dampak yang belum efisien terhadap seluruh elemen masyarakat, terutama dampak yang tidak efisien dari skema biaya Merchant Discount Rate (MDR) kepada UMKM kecil.Bank Indonesia disarankan untuk meninjau kembali peraturan mengenai GPNtersebut, khususnya ketentuan yang mewajibkan masyarakat untuk menggunakan sistem pembayaran tersebut, serta menambahkan beberapa ketentuan yang memiliki dampak yang efisien di seluruh lapisan masyarakat

Bandgap and refractive index estimates of InAlN and related nitrides across their full composition ranges

III-Nitride bandgap and refractive index data are of direct relevance for the design of (In, Ga, Al)N-based photonic and electronic devices. The bandgaps and bandgap bowing parameters of III-nitrides across the full composition range are reviewed with a special emphasis on InxAl1−xN, where less consensus was reached in the literature previously. Considering the available InAlN data, including those recently reported for low indium contents, empirical formulae for InAlN bandgap and bandgap bowing parameter are proposed. Applying the generalised bandgap data, the refractive index dispersion data available in the literature for III-N alloys is fitted using the Adachi model. For this purpose, a formalism involving a parabolic dependence of the Adachi parameters on the dimensionless bandgap ξEg=(Eg,AxB1−xN−Eg,BN)/(Eg,AN−Eg,BN) of the corresponding ternary alloys is used rather than one directly invoking the alloy composition

A Computer Aided Detection System for Cerebral Microbleeds in Brain MRI

Advances in MR technology have improved the potential for visualization of small lesions in brain images. This has resulted in the opportunity to detect cerebral microbleeds (CMBs), small hemorrhages in the brain that are known to be associated with risk of ischemic stroke and intracerebral bleeding. Currently, no computerized method is available for fully- or semi-automated detection of CMBs. In this paper, we propose a CAD system for the detection of CMBs to speed up visual analysis in population-based studies. Our method consists of three steps: (i) skull-stripping (ii) initial candidate selection (iii) reduction of false-positives using a two layer classi cation and (iv) determining the anatomical location of CMBs. The training and test sets consist of 156 subjects (448 CMBs) and 81 subjects (183 CMBs), respectively. The geometrical, intensity-based and local image descriptor features were used in the classi cation steps. The training and test sets consist of 156 subjects (448 CMBs) and 81 subjects (183 CMBs), respectively. The sensitivity for CMB detection was 90% with, on average, 4 false-positives per subject

Efecto de concentraciones subinhibitorias de antimicrobianos sobre las interacciones Fibronectina-Staphylococcus aureus

La adherencia de los microorganismos a las células epiteliales se considera una etapa importante en el desarrollo de las enfermedades infecciosas. En este proceso interviene la fibronectina que forma parte de las proteinas de la matriz extracelular y que se encuentra en los fluidos del organismo. Staphylococcus aureus es un patógeno frecuentemente aislado en infecciones graves como endocarditis infección y sepsis. En este trabajo, se estudia el efecto que producen los antimicrobianos a concentraciones subinhibitorias sobre las interacciones de la fibronectina con S. aureus. Azitiomicina, nafloriaceno, tetraciclina, clindanvicina y ciprofloxacino impiden la adhesión de S. aureus a la fibronectina, ampicilina, sultamicilina y cefovaxina favorecen la adhesión, mientras que kanamicina y teicoplamina no la afectan. También se estudian los parametros que afectan dichas interacciones y el papel de la fibronectina en la adhesión de S. aureus a coagulos de fibrin
