But statistically significant differences in levels of psychical development scores between the means score of orphaned children and the mean scores of ordinary children in favor of ordinary children

Aspect-based Sentiment Analysis with Type-aware Graph Convolutional Networks and Layer Ensemble

It is popular that neural graph-based models are applied in existing aspect-based sentiment analysis (ABSA) studies for utilizing word relations through dependency parses to facilitate the task with better semantic guidance for analyzing context and aspect words. However, most of these studies only leverage dependency relations without considering their dependency types, and are limited in lacking efficient mechanisms to distinguish the important relations as well as learn from different layers of graph based models. To address such limitations, in this paper, we propose an approach to explicitly utilize dependency types for ABSA with type-aware graph convolutional networks (T-GCN), where attention is used in T-GCN to distinguish different edges (relations) in the graph and attentive layer ensemble is proposed to comprehensively learn from different layers of T-GCN. The validity and effectiveness of our approach are demonstrated in the experimental results, where state-of-the-art performance is achieved on six English benchmark datasets. Further experiments are conducted to analyze the contributions of each component in our approach and illustrate how different layers in T-GCN help ABSA with quantitative and qualitative analysis.

Emotion-Infused Models for Explainable Psychological Stress Detection

The problem of detecting psychological stress in online posts, and more broadly, of detecting people in distress or in need of help, is a sensitive application for which the ability to interpret models is vital. Here, we present work exploring the use of a semantically related task, emotion detection, for equally competent but more explainable and human-like psychological stress detection as compared to a black-box model. In particular, we explore the use of multi-task learning as well as emotion-based language model fine-tuning. With our emotion-infused models, we see comparable results to state-of-the-art BERT. Our analysis of the words used for prediction show that our emotion-infused models mirror psychological components of stress.

Achievement Motivation and its Relationship to Locus of Control among Nursing Faculty Students in Tishreen University

Achievement motivation is one of the important aspects of the human motivation system, as it determines the extent of the individual’s pursuit and perseverance in order to achieve and attain success. The level of achievement motivation is affected by several factors, including the locus of control, which is the individual's belief about his abilities to control the events and situations he is exposed to. This research aimed to identify achievement motivation and locus of control's level and to determine the relationship between them among faculty nursing students in Tishreen University and identify the variance in achievement motivation and locus of control's level according to sex and educational year. 200 students who were selected from the all four academic years by available sampling. The achievement motivation scale, which was prepared by Tarek Al-masri (2020) has been used. Locus of control scale (1966) also has been used; this scale has been translated into Arabic by Alaa Al -den kafafi in 1982. The most important results are (78.5%) have high achievement motivation level, and (68%) have external locus of control. We have discovered a negative statistic relationship between achievement motivation and locus of control, where the level of achievement motivation increases when the level of external locus of control decrease. Also, it was found no statistically significant differences in achievement motivation and locus of control's level according to sex and educational year.

CORRUPTION AS A CONTAGIOUS PSYCHOSOCIAL DISORDER, A CONCEPTUAL ANALYSIS

Corruption is defined as the abuse of entrusted power for private gain. It is a world-wide phenomenon, particularly in the developing societies. It has been mentioned as a cause of destruction of many empires and powerful states in the history. No effective evidence-based prevention or treatment has been identified, yet. The objective of this study is to describe a conceptual framework using psychosocial analysis based on current scientific theories to explain corruption as a contagious psychosocial disorder to be correctly diagnosed, prevented and treated.Methods: This is a theoretic conceptual analysis describing corruption for the first time in terms of contagious psychosocial disorder. The sample concerns structural and functional positions at the Child Mental Health Center (CMHC) in the city of Duhok, Kurdistan region of Iraq (KRI) during December 2018 - February 2019.No experimental or clinical data are included. Accordingly, a package of Psychosocial Anti-Corruption Tools (PACT) is presented as an intervention to replace identified actions of corruption.Results: Specific diagnostic criteria, such as: Illegal or un authorized gain, more than one salary, unjustified power position…etc., are found to classify corruption as a contagious psychosocial disorder according to current theories concerning a etiology, pathogenesis, clinical picture, consequences, prevention and treatment. This is the first pilot project that has been started at a governmental organization.Conclusions: Corruption can be Hypothesised as a contagious psychosocial disorder to be tested in further rigorous research in other cultures, societies, and countries where corruption is prevailing.
