Parent-Child Relationship and Attachment Security: Divorce as a Mediating Factor
No full textAttachment is the bond that is formed linking a caregiver to children between birth and 2 years old and is a predictor for many future relationships. Attachment security is linked to later parent-child relationship quality. Divorce has been shown to affect children socially and they may experience difficulty in relating to others, but it is unclear how it continues to impact emerging adults and their relationships with their parents. The goal of this study was to better understand if attachment security was correlated to the quality of parent-child relationships among emerging adults and if parental divorce moderated this relationship. Our sample included emerging adults (N = 309) ages 18-30 years old. From our results, it was concluded that there was a significant positive relationship between the quality of the parent-child relationship and attachment security (r = 0.43, p= \u3c.001) among emerging adults. Divorce did not moderate the association (Fisher’s z = -0.14, p= 0.44). This study had a few limitations due to the limited sample size, and the snowball convenience data collection method that could make results less generalizable to the larger population. It is also not possible to make causal inferences due to the cross-sectional nature of the study. Despite the limitations, these findings could help set the foundation for which professionals and clinicians analyze and understand the influence of the quality of the parent-child relationship in emerging adulthood
Social Influence: Use it for Good, not Evil
No full textInfluence is the ability to affect the behavior of others and have the power to move others in a particular direction or decision. This can be in many forms from tactical moves, leveraging, pushing a personal agenda, and more. It can also go in a less taking over the world, evil plan and instead a good direction with your team connecting, involved, and even being inspired. It comes down to how effective leaders within a team are going to interact and how they will use their social influence within the group\u27s dynamics. Social influence is a powerful tool in group settings when used properly. To understand the background of social influence, we must first break it down into pieces and examine each one. The term “social” is linked to groups and communities, and “influence\u27\u27 is linked to power and authority. When the two are put together, we can visualize a group being impacted by a source of authority. When discussing social influence, one must consider the ways in which it can be used well in both groups and organizations, as well as how it can be misused and negatively impact these groups. In our research we examine three theories surrounding social influence, determine the best practices for using social influence in a positive way and offer potential solutions to our concern of misusing social influence for nefarious purposes.

Assessment of Aflatoxin Exposure in School- Aged Children in Southern Ethiopia
Get PDFIntroduction: Aflatoxins(AF), a naturally occurring fungi are known to contaminate staple crops in low-income countries. Exposure to AFs may have detrimental effects on health such as hepatocellular carcinoma, immune suppression, and growth impairment. The aim of the current study was to examine the prevalence of AF exposure in school-aged children and evaluate its association with socio-economic and demographic characteristics and dietary intake of households. Methods: This study utilizes secondary data, from a cross-sectional study of 408 school-aged children. Urine samples were analyzed for AFM1 concentration. Moreover, socioeconomic, and demographic characteristics and dietary intake data were collected. Data were presented as frequency distributions, percentages, and means (SD). Skewed data and AMF1 concentration were log-transformed before analysis. Multiple Classification Analysis (MCA) was used for predicting the AFM1 concentration. Results: 93% of children had detectable urinary AFM1, the median concentration was 472.7 pg/ml. The MCA revealed that child age (p=.026), household size (p=.039), mothers’ occupation (p=.005), consumption of haricot bean (p=0.010) and cow milk (p=.021), and dietary diversity score (p=.010)) were all significantly associated with AFM1 concentration. Conclusion: In conclusion, high exposure to AFM1 was observed in this study. Frequent consumption of certain food products and socio-economic status of households were significantly associated with AFM1 exposure. However, since the relation between AFM1 and dietary intake was analyzed based on self-reported data it is recommended that all of the staple foods, as well as animal feeds in the study area should be assessed for AFM1 contamination
