“…Due to very few outlets in the districts of Neubrueck and Muehlheim, we used Kendall's τ β correlation analysis to examine the relationship between deprivation indicators and the number of outlets in social areas. Kendall's τ β correlation coefficients are based on ranks of observations and therefore less vulnerable to outliers than other correlation coefficients ( 33 ) .…”

Objective: The current discussion regarding 'place effects on health' is increasingly focusing on the characteristics of a specific physical environment. Our study investigated whether socially deprived residential areas are more likely than affluent neighbourhoods to provide access to addictive substances and fast food. Design: In this ecological study the total number of tobacco, alcohol and fastfood outlets was recorded and visualized using a geographic information system. Area affluence was measured through the percentage of parents with children of kindergarten or school age with joint annual taxable income ,h12 272. Setting: Eighteen social areas in Cologne, Germany. Subjects: All social areas in four districts in Cologne, Germany, with a total of 92 000 inhabitants, were analysed. Results: In the investigation area, 339 tobacco, 353 alcohol and sixty-seven fastfood outlets were identified. As area affluence declined the availability of the following potentially health damaging sources increased: cigarettes (Kendall's tau 5 0?433; P 5 0?012), alcohol (Kendall's tau 5 0?341, P 5 0?049) and fast food (Kendall's tau 5 0?473; P 5 0?009). Conclusions: The availability of addictive substances and fast food can be seen to have a contextual influence on an individual's lifestyle and can, in the form of physical exposure to obesogenic and addictive environments, contribute to a culmination of health risks. Keywords Alcohol consumption Tobacco Fast foods Environmental impact Ecological and environmental phenomenaUntil well into the 1980s, public health research focused on an individual's lifestyle when attempting to explain his/her state of health (1) . However, this individualistic approach to explaining the state of a person's health, which is limited to the micro level, has repeatedly demonstrated its limitations (2,3) : although a broad range of biopsychosocial determinants have been taken into consideration in the past, many individual-based risk factor studies have only been partially able to explain health behaviour and health outcomes. It is therefore not surprising that numerous intervention studies which have focused on individuals' behaviour have not resulted in long-term behavioural changes (4) . Pickett and Pearl pointed out in a critical review that this limitation is essentially due to the fact that the individual-based approach does not include factors on an aggregated level, the meso level (especially the geographical context (5) ). Taking the meso level into account by considering the influences of the complex social and physical contexts in which individual behavioural decisions are made has proved to be one way of escaping from this cul-de-sac in contemporary research (6) . Recently an increasing number of interdisciplinary research groups have been focusing on investigating to what extent an individual's immediate residential surroundings -his/her social and physical neighbourhood contexts -play a role in determining health behaviour and outcomes (7) . In order to do this, direct and ind...

Participants also recorded their age, gender and ethnicity as well as whether they worked with people with dementia, or had been personally affected by dementia.Results: increased contact with people with dementia was associated with increases in both total ADQ scores and across both sub-scales reflecting more positive personcentred attitudes toward dementia. The highest levels of increase were found amongst non-white participants.Conclusions: this study is, we believe, the first attempt to look systematically at whether greater contact with people with dementia is associated with changes in attitudes. The results strongly support the contention that increased contact with people with dementia leads to more person-centred attitudes, and by inference, less stigmatising views.Keywords: dementia; Alzheimer's disease; community care; stigma; attitudes; social support.3 BackgroundA key element of government policy within the United Kingdom (UK) and elsewhere has been to build dementia-friendly communities, and to reduce the stigma that people with dementia face (Department of Health, 2012). In order for these aims to be achieved, public attitudes towards people with dementia need to become more person-centred. However, it is unclear how attitudes towards people with dementia are formed and whether, for instance, increased contact with people with dementia, either through work or personal experience alters attitudes.Previously research in this area has typically focussed on attitudes of professionals working with individuals living with dementia (e.g., Kokkonen et al., 2014;Leung et al., 2013;Lintern, 2001) In the wider mental health literature, increased levels of contact have been associated with a positive impact on attitudes and a reduction of stigma (London and 4 Evans -Lacko, 2010;Couture and Penn, 2003;Clement et al, 2015). While there is an assumption that increased contact with people with dementia will break down barriers, improve attitudes and help to overcome stigma, not all research findings suggest ...

“…Questionnaire items contain statements that are built based on the five criteria of Islamic career prospects, namely: (1) career goals, (2) aspiration, (3) compensation, (4) promotion system, and (5) sustainability. The questionnaire was tried out to 34 respondents of senior high school students in Surabaya at Islamic educational institutions outside the study sample (Sommer and Sommer, 1991). The try-out was intended to obtain feedback from respondents in order to tailor the use of language that can be understood by the respondents, and also aims to calculate the number of Cronbach's Alpha reliability coefficient (Singer, 2009).…”

Islamic senior high school students' career prospects are an important issue to be studied in the global society. The study was conducted through a descriptive survey study involving 188 senior high school students of the eleventh-grade of Islamic educational institutions in the region of Surabaya. The research data was collected by using questionnaire method and analyzed with descriptive statistical analysis techniques. The findings of this study show that 90.96% of respondents regard that Islamic career prospects are good based on the criteria of promotion, 87.77% of respondents regard that Islamic career prospects are good based on the criteria of aspirations, 83.51% of respondents regard that Islamic career prospects are good based on the criteria of career goals, 80.32% of respondents regard that Islamic career prospects are good based on the criteria of compensation, and 72.87% of respondents regard that Islamic career prospects are good based on criteria of sustainability.
