Data from: Socio-cultural factors influencing knowledge, attitudes and menstrual hygiene practices among Junior High School adolescent girls in the Kpando District of Ghana: A mixed method study
<p><b>Background: </b>Menstruation is scarcely discussed openly in Ghana due to social and religious beliefs concerning it. This has limited transfer of knowledge on menstruation to adolescents. In this study we examined socio-cultural factors affecting knowledge, attitudes and menstrual hygiene practices of Junior High School adolescent girls in the Kpando Municipality of Ghana.</p> <p><b>Materials and Methods:</b> A mixed method approach was employed with 480 respondents. A survey was conducted among 390 adolescent girls using interviewer administered questionnaires whilst Focus Group Discussions using a discussion guide were conducted among 90 respondents in groups of 9 members. Descriptive, inferential statistics and content analysis were used to summarize quantitative and qualitative data respectively.</p> <p><b>Results: </b>Fifty nine percent of the respondents had good knowledge of menstruation. Most (84.6%) of the students practiced good menstrual hygiene. Attending a private (AOR=0.19, 95% CI=0.09-0.40) and rural (AOR= 0.42, 95% CI=0.22-0.83, p=0.012) schools were significantly associated with reduced odds of practicing good menstrual hygiene. Good knowledge on menstruation was associated with increased odds of good hygiene practices (AOR=2.61, 95% CI=1.46-4.67, p=0.001). Qualitative results showed respondents were not given in-depth information on menstruation at menarche. Social and religious beliefs concerning menstruation were prominent and they influenced attitudes and practices such as isolation of menstruating girls and perception that menstruation was dirty and evil.</p> <p><b>Conclusion:</b> Although, good menstrual hygiene practice was high, religious and social beliefs regarding menstruation were common. Most of these beliefs lead to menstrual related restrictions which limit desire to seek crucial menstrual information. It is necessary to expand the scope of menstrual health awareness beyond the school environment in both rural and urban areas to eradicate menstrual misconceptions and restrictions.</p>
Attitudes, Stressors and Work Outcomes related to the COVID-19 Pandemic among Dental Assistants in Germany: A cross-sectional Study
<p>This dataset stems from across-sectional study conducted early April 2020 among n=1481 dental assistants from entire Germany during the peak of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. The study questionnaire was distributed online with help of the Association of Medical Professionals on their social media channels. The collected data provides insights into major stressors among dental assistants at the peak of the pandemic in Germany and allows for analysis of possible determinants of major stressors via logistic regression analysis. No funding was obtained for this study. </p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Dataset information: </strong></p> <p>File type: SPSS file (.sav)</p> <p>Study type: Cross-sectional study</p> <p>Population: Dental assistants in Germany</p> <p>Study period: April 7th-April 14th, 2020</p> <p>Number of participants: 1481</p> <p>Research question: Investigation of attitudes, stressors and work outcomes related to the COVID-19 pandemic among dental assistants in Germany</p> <p>Missing values: None </p> <p>Original variables: v_982, v_1, v_2, v_3, v_5, v_6, v_7, v_10, v_11, v_13, v_14, v_21, v_22, v_23, v_24, v_26, v_27, v_28, v_29, v_31, v_32, v_33, v_40, v_41, v_42, v_43, v_46, v_47, v_48, v_49, v_52, v_57, Beruf_ZFA</p> <p>Modification of variables: All other variables were calculated from the original variables bei either rescaling or dichotomization. </p> <p>Dichotomization of attitudes, stressors and work outcomes: <br> Answer options "Strongly disagree" and "Disagree" were labelled as "no"<br> Answer options "Agree" and "Strongly Agree" were labelled as "yes"</p> <p>Dichotomization of self-rated health:<br> Answer options "Very bad", "Bad" and "Moderate" were labelled as "Bad".<br> Answer options "Good" and "Very good" were labelled as "Good". </p> <p>Rescaling of the variable "Where do you currently work?":<br> Participants who stated "dental practice" as their place of work were labelled as working in a "dental practice".

Data from: Patients' experiences with and attitudes towards a diabetes patient web portal
Objective: A diabetes patient web portal allows patients to access their personal health record and may improve diabetes outcomes; however, patients' adoption is slow. We aimed to get insight into patients' experiences with a web portal to understand how the portal is being used, how patients perceive the content of the portal and to assess whether redesign of the portal might be needed. Materials and Methods: A survey among 1500 patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes with a login to a patient portal. Setting: 62 primary care practices and one outpatient hospital clinic, using a combined patient portal. We compared patients who requested a login but never used it or once ('early quitters') with patients who used it at least two times ('persistent users'). Results: 632 patients (42.1%) returned the questionnaire. Their mean age was 59.7 years, 63.1% was male and 81.8% had type 2 diabetes. 413 (65.3%) people were persistent users and 34.7% early quitters. In the multivariable analysis, insulin use (OR2.07; 95%CI[1.18–3.62]), experiencing more frequently hyperglycemic episodes (OR1.30;95%CI[1.14–1.49]) and better diabetes knowledge (OR1.02, 95%CI[1.01–1.03]) do increase the odds of being a persistent user. Persistent users perceived the usefulness of the patient portal significantly more favorable. However, they also more decisively declared that the patient portal is not helpful in supporting life style changes. Early quitters felt significantly more items not applicable in their situation compared to persistent users. Both persistent users (69.8%) and early quitters (58.8%) would prefer a reminder function for scheduled visits. About 60% of both groups wanted information about medication and side-effects in their portal. Conclusions: The diabetes patient web portal might be improved significantly by taking into account the patients' experiences and attitudes. We propose creating separate portals for patients on insulin or not.
Data from: Association between the dopamine D4 receptor gene exon III variable number of tandem repeats and political attitudes in female Han Chinese
Twin and family studies suggest that political attitudes are partially determined by an individual's genotype. The dopamine D4 receptor gene (DRD4) exon III repeat region that has been extensively studied in connection with human behaviour, is a plausible candidate to contribute to individual differences in political attitudes. A first United States study provisionally identified this gene with political attitude along a liberal–conservative axis albeit contingent upon number of friends. In a large sample of 1771 Han Chinese university students in Singapore, we observed a significant main effect of association between the DRD4 exon III variable number of tandem repeats and political attitude. Subjects with two copies of the 4-repeat allele (4R/4R) were significantly more conservative. Our results provided evidence for a role of the DRD4 gene variants in contributing to individual differences in political attitude particularly in females and more generally suggested that associations between individual genes, and neurochemical pathways, contributing to traits relevant to the social sciences can be provisionally identified.

Knowledge, attitude and practice of the local people towards human-carnivore coexistence in Faragosa-Fura landscape, Gamo Zone, Southern Ethiopia
<p>Local people's knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) have played an important role in human-wildlife coexistence and have received increased attention in biodiversity conservation. However, studies on the KAP of local people towards human-carnivore coexistence (HCC) are scarce, species-specific, or limited to the protected areas. Therefore, we investigated the local people's KAP towards carnivores' coexistence with humans, the problem of livestock, and mitigation practices in a human-dominated landscape of Southern Ethiopia. We collected the data from 352 households' interviews using a semi-structured questionnaire and photographic sampling. The respondents mentioned 13 carnivores coexisting with local people belonging to six families. Eighty-five percent of the respondents perceived carnivores as problematic species and expressed a negative attitude towards them, primarily due to the damage they caused to their livestock. Respondents who had better knowledge of carnivores also showed a positive attitude towards carnivores. The cluster analysis showed that the spotted hyena, serval, leopard, common genet, and black-backed jackal were grouped under a high-threat cluster. Chickens and goats were the most threatened livestock reported by respondents. The main predation control methods reported were guarding and fencing for larger livestock and keeping chickens indoors during the night. The regression models predicted that males and literate respondents had better knowledge of carnivores than females and illiterates. The respondents who owned more livestock experienced more damage to livestock, and females showed a negative attitude towards carnivores. Although the study area is the critical conservation value of the 13 carnivore species, livestock predation by carnivores, the local people's negative attitude towards carnivores, and lethal predation control methods practiced by local people were affecting HCC in the area. The findings call for conservation actions such as conservation education to raise awareness and develop a positive attitude and non-lethal predation mitigation measures to promote HCC in consultation with the local community.</p>

Specimen with rays bent into strong curves. Such flexibility and attitudes of rays differentiate the behavioral ecology of Eospondylus from all other Hunsrück Slate ophiuroids. Delicateness of the top specimen and robustness of the bottom specimen is perhaps the combined result of real phenotypic differences, differences of preserved detail, and differences of distortion of the rock.
