Because
the path coefficient between family factors and glycemic control remained significant while controlling for adherence, partial mediation was indicated.
Further, full mediation was also indicated as
the path coefficient between the CBCL externalizing problem scores and glycemic control was reduced to nonsignificance while controlling for family factors (Fig. 1c).
Full mediation was further indicated as
the path coefficient between externalizing problem scores and glycemic control was reduced to nonsignificance while controlling for adherence (Fig. 1b).
The path coefficient between critical parenting (DFBC) and HbA1c was reduced from.405 to.378 with the addition of externalizing problem scores to the model.
SEM allows the both the assessment of goodness of fit of a specified model and testing of each estimated
path coefficient.
However,
the path coefficient from the internalizing x externalizing interaction factor to the intercept of dichotomous variables was not statistically significant when the intercept was specified at W6 and W7, βs = − 2.12 to − 3.12, ps > 0.30.

RESULTS: It was found that social support and job stress fully mediated the relationship between fear of the crisis and health, with all fit indices meeting their respective criteria, and with
all path coefficients being significant.
However,
all paths coefficients estimated in the model were statistically significant at p <.01, standardized loadings ranging from.20 to.76 across the three factors.

We initially constrained corresponding
path coefficients, intercepts, and covariances to be equal for age groups and for husbands and wives and then tested whether releasing these constraints (one parameter at a time) improved model fit.

In each model, standardized

Having established invariance in
the path coefficients, a series of increasingly restrictive hypotheses were tested (Jöreskog, 1971), resulting in a model in which no other constraints on
the path coefficients could improve model fit.
As such, we removed two indicators from personality factors (negative emotionality & conscientiousness), two from ASQ (fearful and dismissing styles) and social attraction from IPA, as they showed either non-significant or weak
path coefficients (< 0.10).
Path coefficients ranged from.23 to.51, reflecting small to medium effect sizes.
Path coefficients ranged from -.21 to.26, reflecting small effect sizes.

In the three - path mediation analysis, we used the multivariate delta estimator using the following equation from [109]: This variance estimate was used in Empirical Bayes estimation procedure for second - level bootstrapping of
the path coefficients [8].
In the next step we investigated which
path coefficients could be set equal across groups without significantly worsening model fit.
Mediation was again confirmed, and
path coefficients were essentially unchanged.
The resulting
path coefficients are thus corrected for attenuation due to unreliability.
The path coefficients suggest that, of the four participant characteristics previously identified in the literature and hypothesized to predict engagement in this study, only family income (β =.16, p <.05) and family stress (β =.18, p <.05) significantly predicted engagement.

Crandom and Lrandom were computed as the average clustering
coefficient and characteristic
path length of a set of h random graphs with a comparable total degree and degree distribution as that of the examined functional connectivity graph (supplemental material, available at www.jneurosci.org).
From these functional brain networks, a number of key characteristics that describe the overall organization of a network were computed, including the clustering

path length L (Watts and Strogatz, 1998).
Networks with a small - world organization have a clustering
coefficient C that is much higher than the clustering
coefficient of a comparable random organized network, but still with a short characteristic
path length L that is similar to that of an equivalent random organized network (Watts and Strogatz, 1998).

Formally, small - world networks show a ratio γ defined as C / Crandom of ≫ 1 and a ratio λ defined as L / Lrandom of ∼ 1, with Crandom and Lrandom the clustering

To understand the selection mechanism behind mutations, network - based studies were used to estimate the importance of a mutated protein compared to non-mutated ones in signalling and protein — protein interaction networks.10, 11,12,13 Proteins mutated in cancer were found having a high number of interacting partners (i.e., a high degree of connectivity), which indicates high local importance.10 Mutated proteins are also often found in the centre of the network, in key global positions, as quantified by the number of shortest
paths passing through them if all proteins are connected with each other (i.e., they have high betweenness centrality; hereafter called betweenness).11, 12 Mutated proteins also have high clustering
coefficients, which means their neighbours are also neighbours of each other.10, 13 Moreover, neighbourhood analysis of mutated proteins have been previously successfully used to predict novel cancer - related genes.14, 15 However, to the best of our knowledge, no study has concentrated particularly on the topological importance of first neighbours of mutated proteins in cancer, and their usefulness as drug targets themselves.
