Improving older people’s experiences and safety at transitions of care: the PACT mixed-methods study including RCT by Jenni Murray, Ruth Baxter, Jane O’Hara, Laura Sheard, Catherine Hewitt, Natasha Hardicre, Charles Vincent, Eirini Oikonomou, Gerry Richardson, Rosie Shannon, Kalpita Baird, Stephen Brealey, Robbie Foy, Laura Mandefield, Sarah Hampton, Ed Breckin, Lubena Mirza, Alfredo Palacios, Sally Moore, Jayne Marran, Jacqui Elliot, Jane Schofield, Alison Cracknell, Beth Woods, Sarah Cockayne, Thomas Mills, Yvonne Birks, Olivia Joseph, Rebecca Lawton

“…Reliability analyses of the PACT-M1 and PACT-M2 were good (α = 0.84 and 0.92, respectively). The factor analysis revealed a single-factor solution explaining 44% of the variance for PACT-M1 and 60% for PACT-M2. …”

Analyzing the Reproductive Characteristics of the Naked Carp Gymnocypris Przewalskii (Kessler) Based on the Oxygen Isotopes of Otolith Core Using SHRIMP by Ling ZHOU, Linbo QIAN, Sumei ZHAO, Xiulan ZHANG, Yinglie LIU, Qiaoling TANG, Jie YUAN

“…The otolith δ18O ratios of the five samples were analyzed by one-way variance analysis. The δ18O ratios of the No.1, No.3 and No.4 naked carp were not significantly different (P>0.05), while the δ18O ratios of the No.2 and No.5 naked carp were significantly different from the other three samples (P<0.05). …”

The Effectiveness of Trauma-Aware Parenting Intervention on Relationship between Attachment and Emotional Disturbance in Adoptive Families by Mehrana Mehrana, Mansoureh Bahramipour Isfahani

“…The average emotional disturbance scores in the experimental group compared to the control showed a greater decrease in the post-test and follow-up phase than in the pre-test. Analysis of variance with repeated measures was used to investigate the research hypotheses, which allows the researcher to compare the experimental group (trauma–-informed parenting) and the control group in the research variables. …”
