Hendricks, Vincent F., Dunleavy, Daniel J.
- Abstract/Description
-
A virus does not make distinctions. It just spreads, it just hits. But the ones who are challenged already are getting challenged even more. The richest countries in the world, making up some 13% of the global population, have ahead of time secured 51% of the COVID-19 vaccine. Like with many other societal inequalities, the Matthew effect kicks in concerning the novel coronavirus: “For to everyone who has will more be given, and he will have an abundance

- Social work and the necessity of open access.
- Creator

Dunleavy, Daniel J.
- Abstract/Description
-
Access to research and scholarship is essential for the practice of social work and the development of intra- and interdisciplinary knowledge. Therefore “open access” is a necessity for the field of social work to function and thrive. This post explores some of these issues and makes suggestions for how the field may make its knowledge and tools more open. The consequences of this are non-negligible, as greater access will arguably aid in solving society’s most pressing problems.

Show moreDuring recent years, a growing number of art museums and galleries have experimented with innovative approaches to exhibition development to create more meaningful visitor experiences. However, although commendable, their efforts to make exhibitions visitor-centered have still not been consistent, partially due to the lack of existing models for practice for these kinds of projects. This chapter focuses on supported interpretation (SI), a model for developing visitor-centered exhibitions that can help museum professionals better advocate for their audiences, engage community members in the process of exhibition development, and turn visitors into active participants who feel empowered to share content during their museum visits. The authors dive deeply into the guidelines for implementing SI, discuss prior iterations of the model, share lessons learned, and explore new scenarios in order to provide current and future art museum educators and interpretive planners with an easy-to-follow roadmap for developing successful visitor-centered SI exhibitions.

The career decision state (CDS) is a condition of being or consciousness, a “snapshot,” with respect to one’s present career goals. The Career State Inventory provides a total score assessing the CDS, and assesses three components of it, i.e., (a) a person’s self–assessment of occupational preferences or lack thereof (career certainty), (b) an assessment of satisfaction related to the occupational preferences (career satisfaction), and (c) the strength of a person’s confidence regarding the...

An individual’s career decision state may range from being highly certain, satisfied, and clear in one’s choice (first choice, no alternatives), to being completely undecided, dissatisfied, confused, and lacking confidence in making a choice (no choice, no options).

- Reframing Smith’s Atheist Development Model: Developing Metaphysical Beliefs.
- Creator
-
Clay Jr., Allen, Cox, Bradley E.
- Abstract/Description
-
As the most prominent model of atheist identity development, Smith’s model relies on the assumption of atheism emerging from an explicit rejection of Christianity. This revised model presents atheism as more than just the rejection of Christianity, but also the development of a personal belief system independent of a deity.

We present spectral analysis modal methods (SAMMs) to perform POD in the frequency domain using non-time-resolved Particle Image Velocity (PIV) data combined with unsteady surface pressure measurements. In particular, time-resolved unsteady surface pressure measurements are synchronized with non time-resolved planar PIV measurements acquired at 15 Hz in a Mach 0.6 cavity flow.

Show moreWe present spectral analysis modal methods (SAMMs) to perform POD in the frequency domain using non-time-resolved Particle Image Velocity (PIV) data combined with unsteady surface pressure measurements. In particular, time-resolved unsteady surface pressure measurements are synchronized with non time-resolved planar PIV measurements acquired at 15 Hz in a Mach 0.6 cavity flow. Leveraging the spectral linear stochastic estimation (LSE) method of Tinney et al (2006), we first estimate the cross correlations between the velocity eld and the unsteady pressure sensors via sequential time shifts, followed by a Fast Fourier transform to obtain the pressure-velocity cross spectral density matrix. This leads to a linear multiple-input / multiple-output (MIMO) model that determines the optimal transfer functions between the input cavity wall pressure and the output velocity eld. Two variants of SAMMs are developed and applied. The first, termed \SAMM-SPOD", combines the MIMO model with the SPOD algorithm of Towne et al (2018). The second, called \SAMM-RR", adds independent sources and uses a sorted eigendecomposition of the input pressure cross-spectral matrix to enable an efficient reduced rank eigendecomposition of the velocity cross-spectral matrix. In both cases, the resulting rank-1 POD eigenvalues associated with the Rossiter frequencies exhibit very good agreement with those obtained using independent time-resolved PIV measurements. The results demonstrate that SAMMs provide a methodology to perform space-time POD without requiring a high-speed PIV system, while avoiding potential pitfalls associated with traditional time-domain LSE.

Show moreA turbulent boundary layer is a ubiquitous element of fundamental and applied fluid mechanics. Unfortunately, accurate measurements of turbulent boundary layer parameters (e.g. friction velocityu tau tau(w)) are challenging, especially for high-speed flows (Smitset al2011). Many direct and/or indirect diagnostic techniques have been developed to measure wall shear stress (Vinuesaet al2017). However, based on various principles, these techniques generally give different results with varying uncertainties. The current study introduces a nonlinear data assimilation framework based on the unscented Kalman filter (UKF) that can fuse information from (i) noisy and discretized measurements from stereo particle image velocimetry (SPIV), a Preston tube, and a MEMS shear stress sensor, as well as (ii) the uncertainties of the measurements to estimate the parameters of a turbulent boundary layer. A direct numerical simulation of a fully developed turbulent channel flow is used first to validate the data assimilation algorithm. The algorithm is then applied to experimental boundary layer data at Mach 0.3 obtained in a blowdown wind tunnel facility. Drag coefficients from control volume analysis of the SPIV and wall pressure data and laser interferometer skin friction measurements are used for independent cross-validation. The UKF-based data assimilation algorithm is robust to the uncertain and discretized experimental data and is able to provide accurate estimates of turbulent boundary layer parameters with quantified uncertainty.

Show moreTo combat the declining number of finishers plaguing the distance-running industry, it is increasingly important for organizers to optimize event satisfaction levels. Participants' survey responses from two distance-running events (n(1) = 2,324 and n(2) = 2,526) were analyzed to challenge the traditional managerial scope and theoretical lens through which event satisfaction is conventionally examined. Results revealed five event benefits that capture key motivational antecedents of event satisfaction. Collectively, these benefits, including euphoric, fitness, competition, social, and entertainment benefits, influenced event satisfaction levels (R-2 = 43%) and repeat consumption intentions (R-2 = 23%). For event organizers to foster event satisfaction, it is central to encourage event preparation and participation that promotes the enjoyment of physical activity, fitness and appearance enhancement, socialization, competition, and excitement among registrants. Academics should also extend their scope of event satisfaction to fully capture the entirety of event experience lifecycles (e.g., from registration through event participation).

Show moreTracking students' learning states to provide tailored learner support is a critical element of an adaptive learning system. This study explores how an automatic assessment is capable of tracking learners' cognitive and emotional states during virtual reality (VR)-based representational-flexibility training. This VR-based training program aims to promote the flexibility of adolescents with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in interpreting, selecting and creating multimodal representations during STEM-related design problem solving. For the automatic assessment, we used both natural language processing (NLP) and machine-learning techniques to develop a multi-label classification model. We then trained the model with the data from a total of audio- and video-recorded 66 training sessions of four adolescents with ASD. To validate the model, we implemented both k-fold cross-validations and the manual evaluations by expert reviewers. The study finding suggests the feasibility of implementing the NLP and machine-learning driven automatic assessment to track and assess the cognitive and emotional states of individuals with ASD during VR-based flexibility training. The study finding also denotes the importance and viability of providing adaptive supports to maintain learners' cognitive and affective engagement in a highly interactive digital learning environment.

Show moreGram-scale insects, such as cockroaches, take advantage of the mechanical properties of the musculoskeletal system to enable rapid and robust running. Engineering gram-scale robots, much like their biological counterparts, comes with inherent constraints on resources due to their small sizes. Resource-constrained robots are generally limited in their computational complexity, making controlled, high-speed locomotion a challenge, especially in unstructured environments. In this paper we show that embedding control into the leg mechanics of robots, similarly to cockroaches, results in predictable dynamics from an open-loop control strategy that can be modified through material choice. Tuning the mechanical properties of gram-scale robot legs promotes high-speed, stable running, reducing the need for active control. We utilize a torque-driven damped spring-loaded inverted pendulum model to explore the behavior and the design space of a spring-damper leg at this scale. The resulting design maps show the trade-offs in performance goals, such as speed and efficiency, with stability, as well as the sensitivity in performance to the leg properties and the control input. Finally, we demonstrate experimental results with magnetically actuated quadrupedal gram-scale robots, incorporating viscoelastic legs and demonstrating speeds up to 11.7 body lengths per second.

Show moreRoughly 1 in 59 children in the United States is diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD), a rate that has more than doubled during the last 10 years. As students with autism increasinglypursue higher education, college educators must understand these students’ experiences and actively address issues that affect their college outcomes. This paper draws from interviews with autistic students who have had widely varying experiences and outcomes in higher education. Using an iterative analytic strategy that combined elements of grounded theory, multiple case study, and constant comparative approaches, researchers developed a series of propositions that were subsequently deconstructed and reconstituted as a conceptual model. The resultant conceptual model not only provides a descriptive portrait of how these students experienced interactions with their postsecondary institutions but also outlines specific ways in which tensions between the student and institution manifest as acute problems that students were often able to recognize, sometimes able to reframe, and occasionally able to resolve. The model can be used to help students and their institutions anticipate, address, and overcome challenges in ways that improve college experiences and outcomes for students on the autism spectrum.

After the introduction, the paper continues with three main sections that include CIP theory related to vocational behavior, research related to vocational behavior and career intervention, and CIP theory related to career interventions. The first main section describes CIP theory, including the evolution of CIP theory, the nature of career problems, theoretical assumptions, the pyramid of information processing domains, the CASVE Cycle, and the use of the pyramid and CASVE cycle. The second main section describes CIP theory-based research in examining vocational behavior and establishing evidence-based practice for CIP theory-based career interventions. The third main section describes CIP theory related to career intervention practice, including theoretical assumptions, readiness for career decision making, readiness for career intervention, the differentiated service delivery model, and critical ingredients of career interventions. The paper concludes with regularly updated sources of information on CIP theory.

Show moreIn the United States shrimps is the most popular seafood. Penaeidae shrimp species are known to share morphology characteristic and identification based on morphological appearance becomes more challenging when shrimp is processed into ready-to-eat products. Misrepresentation of shrimp is common in commercially available shrimp. The objective of the study was to develop a high-resolution melting (HRM) real time PCR assay targeting the 16S rRNA gene fragment for specific identification of top five penaeid species, Litopenaeus vannamei, Penaeus duorarum, Penaeus monodon, Litopenaeus setiferus and Pleoticus muelleri. The applicability of assay was evaluated using two DNA extraction kits and two real-time PCR master mixes. The HRM assay was evaluated using 43 shrimp samples and results were validated by sequencing shrimp 16S rRNA gene fragment. Assay standardized in this study formed distinct melt curve profile for each species in the normalized and differential melt curve plots. The assay using Apex qPCR 2× GREEN master mix showed 100% sensitivity and specificity. Further, species identification results obtained by HRM assay was in complete agreement with identification achieved by 16S rRNA gene sequencing. The HRM assay developed in this study can be used as rapid, low-cost, and reliable method for the identification of abovementioned shrimp species.

Show moreA method for the experimental characterization of the velocity, hydrodynamic pressure, and acoustic generation in a subsonic (Re-H = 25, 500), three-dimensional, turbulent wall jet is presented. An acoustic analogy formulated for the turbulent wall jet shows that the far-field acoustics relate to the Reynolds stress fluctuations of the velocity field or the product of the hydrodynamic pressure fluctuations and the rate-of-strain field. As these quantities cannot be measured directly with sufficient resolution, low-order reconstructions of the velocity field based on the use of the Proper Orthogonal Decomposition and Stochastic Estimation are developed. Reconstruction of the three-dimensional field is accomplished using spanwise-aligned, stereoscopic particle image velocimetry measurements, obtained at 16 streamwise locations synchronously with an array of 32 surface pressure transducers. The velocity field reconstruction is then used to calculate the fluctuating pressure field (via Poisson's equation) allowing for the evaluation of coupled pressure-velocity terms in addition to an acoustic analogy for the acoustic far-field. Application of these methods show that the large-scale motion throughout the shear layer is captured by the velocity and hydrodynamic pressure field estimates and features of the acoustic far-field are recovered.

Show moreAvailable high-resolution crystal structures for the family of beta-trefoil proteins in the structural databank were queried for buried waters. Such waters were classified as either: (a) unique to a particular domain, family, or superfamily or (b) conserved among all beta-trefoil folds. Three buried waters conserved among all beta-trefoil folds were identified. These waters are related by the threefold rotational pseudosymmetry characteristic of this protein architecture (representing three instances of an identical structural environment within each repeating trefoil-fold motif). The structural properties of this buried water are remarkable and include: residing in a cavity space no larger than a single water molecule, exhibiting a positional uncertainty (i.e., normalized B-factor) substantially lower than the average C alpha atom, providing essentially ideal H-bonding geometry with three solvent-inaccessible main chain groups, simultaneously serving as a bridging H-bond for three different beta-strands at a point of secondary structure divergence, and orienting conserved hydrophobic side chains to form a nascent core-packing group. Other published work supports an interpretation that these interactions are key to the formation of an efficient folding nucleus and folded thermostability. The fundamental threefold symmetric structural element of the beta-trefoil fold is therefore, surprisingly, a buried water molecule.

Show morePolyelectrolyte complexes or coacervates, PECs, represent one of the many families of ion-containing polymers proposed or in use for applications requiring mobile ions, including fuel cells, water purification, and rechargeable batteries. Interest in these materials has focused on how ion transport is coupled to, and limited by, polymer dynamics, which slow considerably below the glass transition, T-g. Unlike many other polymer systems, ion conductivity in hydrated PECs remains high above and below T-g. In this work, we investigate the transport of water and ions within a PEC as the polymer host passes through T-g. We find no evidence of a response in the transport of water and small univalent ions, such as Na+ and Cl-, as the hydrated PEC goes through T-g. In contrast, triple-charged ions ferricyanide and ruthenium hexamine experience a second-order change in transport rate at T-g. This response is interpreted to show that these ions engage enough polyelectrolyte repeat units to experience the highly localized cooperative rearrangement thought to be responsible for the glass transition.

Show moreObjectives: To determine if open-access journal articles receive more citations, downloads, and social media attention than toll-access articles in the health sciences.Methods: Using our university’s CV database, we generated a list of faculty names and articles published between 2013-2016. The following criteria were used to refine this list: 1) the faculty member must have an active appointment in the College of Medicine, and 2) the publication must be a scholarly journal article. After our master list was generated and refined, we identified the open access articles by looking up each journal in the Directory of Open Access Journals, and in the case of hybrid journals, viewing the article’s access options on the journal’s website. We then manually retrieved article level metrics for each article on our list. These metrics included altmetric scores and the number of citations, downloads, and views each article received. Our primary source of data was the journal’s website. Secondary sources of data included Dimensions and the Altmetric bookmarklet.Results: On average, articles published open access or available in the institutional repository received at least a 20% increase in number of citations, as compared to articles published exclusively behind a paywall.Conclusions: Open-access articles receive more citations on average than their toll-access counterparts, and we expect to find a similar increase in the number of views, downloads, and altmetric scores. As such, authors and their institutions or funding agencies would benefit from utilizing open access publishing venues to increase the visibility of their research. Libraries have a role in facilitating open access to research by establishing institutional repositories as an alternative venue for freely sharing faculty-authored publications.

The properties of polyelectrolyte complexes and coacervates, both termed PECs, are influenced strongly by their ion and water content. Water plasticizes PECs, reducing their modulus and glass transition temperature, Tg. In this work, a hydrated PEC with a Tg near room temperature, made from poly(diallyldimethylammonium), PDADMA, and poly(styrene sulfonate), PSS, was precisely doped with 22Na-labeled sodium salts along a Hofmeister series.

Show moreThe properties of polyelectrolyte complexes and coacervates, both termed PECs, are influenced strongly by their ion and water content. Water plasticizes PECs, reducing their modulus and glass transition temperature, Tg. In this work, a hydrated PEC with a Tg near room temperature, made from poly(diallyldimethylammonium), PDADMA, and poly(styrene sulfonate), PSS, was precisely doped with 22Na-labeled sodium salts along a Hofmeister series. A distinctive change in the rate of doping versus added salt concentration was observed for all salts. This transition was interpreted to reflect a change in ion-accessible volume coinciding with a change in the role of added salt from counterions for the polyelectrolytes, paired directly and within one water molecule of the charge on the polymer backbone, to a mix of counterions and co-ions, which do not have a specific location within the PEC. Isothermal calorimety for PEC made in, and doped by, NaCl showed two clear regions for enthaply change, ΔH, before and after the doping transition. The higher ΔH region was correlated with the counterion role, an indirect measure of the location of ions within the PEC

Show moreAccurate measurement of high-speed flows in the presence of elevated levels of shear and turbulence is a challenging yet necessary endeavor in order to understand ubiquitous flows that are of great engineering importance. While Eulerian methods, such as Particle Image Velocimetry, represent the traditional approach, Lagrangian alternatives, such as Particle Tracking Velocimetry, has witnessed a resurgence recently due to improved technology and interest in Lagrangian analysis methods. In this research, a recently developed implementation of a volumetric Lagrangian technique for tracking particles in densely seeded flows, namely, Multi–Pulse Shake-The-Box (MP–STB) with the specific implementation referred to as Four–Pulse Shake-The-Box, is described and its performance in high-speed jet flows is evaluated. The MP–STB technique is based on recent developments in the Shake-The-Box method (Novara et al. 2019) and uses low-speed cameras combined with a double exposed image acquisition strategy and multi-pulse tracking. Its use of four laser pulses in quick succession with an uneven pulse timing scheme allows for high-accuracy estimates of velocity and acceleration, and repeated ensembles of short-duration, time-resolved measurements in realistic high-speed flows. Experiments with circular jets operating at exit Mach numbers of 0.31 and 0.59 in two different configurations, namely, free jets and jets impinging on a ground plate located 4.75 jet diameters away from the nozzle, were performed to evaluate MP–STB. Scattered four particle tracks from MP–STB were mapped onto a regular Eulerian grid through the Fine Scale Reconstruction implementation of the VIC# data assimilation method (Jeon et al. 2018). Unique information, including acceleration fields, are presented for these well-known canonical flows. Comparisons with traditional Eulerian measurements from Tomographic PIV, Stereoscopic PIV, and planar PIV are provided to validate the accuracy and comparative cost of volumetric MP–STB measurements combined with the VIC# data assimilation technique.

Show moreThe objective of this study was to characterize the therapeutic dose-response characteristics for topical FGF-1 in the full-thickness dermal healing of aged female BALB/cByJ mice. The approach utilized a splinted excisional model of dermal healing, and a novel fine-sampled photographic methodology, to quantify key wound healing parameters for different doses of topical FGF-1. The histology of healed wounds, representative of each dose cohort, was also evaluated by section and staining. The results show that topical FGF-1 pharmacotherapy for accelerating dermal healing in aged BALB/cByJ female mice yields a narrow dose-response curve, with diminished therapeutic effect at high concentration (i.e. “bell-shaped” dose-response). The physiological response of FGF-1 in wound healing involves a combination of cell types (including vascular endothelial cells, epidermal keratinocytes and dermal fibroblasts). These individual cells types in culture can have different FGF-1 dose-response curves; however, only the response of fibroblasts is bell-shaped. The bell-shaped dose-response in dermal healing therefore principally reflects the effect upon fibroblasts. A narrow bell-shaped dose-response requires precise dosing of FGF-1 for therapeutic benefit. The results identify the practical dose range to elicit such a benefit.

Show moreAvailable high-resolution crystal structures for the family of β-trefoil proteins in the structural databank were queried for buried waters. Such waters were classified as either: 1) unique to a particular domain, family, or superfamily, or 2) conserved among all β-trefoil folds. Three buried waters conserved among all β-trefoil folds were identified. These waters are related by the threefold rotational pseudo-symmetry characteristic of this protein architecture (representing three instances of an identical structural environment within each repeating trefoil-fold motif). The structural properties of this buried water are remarkable and include: residing in a cavity space no larger than a single water molecule, exhibiting a positional uncertainty (i.e., normalized B-factor) substantially lower than the average Cα atom, providing essentially ideal H-bonding geometry with three solvent-inaccessible main chain groups, simultaneously serving as a bridging H-bond for three different β-strands at a point of secondary structure divergence, and orienting conserved hydrophobic sidechains to form a nascent core-packing group. Other published work supports an interpretation that these interactions are key to the formation of an efficient folding nucleus and folded thermostability. The fundamental threefold symmetric structural element of the β-trefoil fold is therefore, surprisingly, a buried water molecule.

Show moreBy viewing political and social corruption through the lens of the control theory of complex systems, this paper will provide some insight into the effects of corruption and outside control on incentives which direct the formation and evolution of social networks, and the intrinsic hierarchies which they encode. This paper proposes and tests the hypothesis that changes in the rate of competition among nodes to raise their control capacity, incentivized by the anticipation of payment through political corruption opportunities, can be identified by changes in an indicator of the controllability of the network at points where the network undergoes a structural change. A theoretical model of control input preference is formulated which leads to a testable hypothesis about the direction of correlation between controllability of a network and the presence of corruption. Results support the hypothesis that as corruption increases, the network becomes more difficult to control as all members alter their linking strategies to ensure that they get a piece of the action. We describe this novel effect as “hierarchical congestion”, to reflect the emergent phenomenon in which individuals making effort to move themselves to the top of the controllability hierarchy increase the number of driver nodes required to fully control the network.

Individual differences, such as personality, may moderate responses to caregiving. In this study, we examined (a) personality and psychological health of family caregivers compared to non-caregivers and (b) tested interactions between caregiver status and personality (both domains and facets) in predicting psychological outcomes.Methods: Data were from an online sample of caregivers of older relatives (N = 491; 71.9% females) and matched controls (N = 491). Participants completed the Big Five Inventory-2 and a comprehensive set of psychological health and well-being measures.Results: Compared to non-caregivers, caregivers had higher neuroticism, lower energy level (extraversion facet) and higher compassion (agreeableness facet). They also reported higher depression, anxiety, loneliness, and lower well-being and life satisfaction. Personality traits and facets had strong associations with psychological outcomes, and these associations were similar across the two groups. Only a few significant interactions between caregiver status and personality were found: For instance, higher neuroticism (in particular, higher scores on anxiety and depression facets) exacerbated anxiety among caregivers.Conclusions: Personality is a relevant correlate of psychological health. In the context of caregiving, its assessment may help to identify caregivers at risk of poor outcomes and inform intervention programs. Further research is needed to replicate the findings and investigate longitudinal interrelations among variables.

Show moreObjectives: To test whether loneliness is associated with risk of cognitive impairment up to 11 years later in a European sample of middle-aged and older adults. The study examines whether this association is independent of measures of social isolation, depression and other risk factors for cognitive impairment and dementia.Methods: Participants (N = 14,114) from the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE) answered a single item on loneliness at baseline and were assessed for cognitive impairment every two-to-three years for 11 years. Participants who scored at least 1.5 standard deviations below the age-graded mean on both a memory recall task and verbal fluency task were classified as impaired. A 3-item measure of loneliness was available for a sample of respondents followed up to 4 years.Results: Feeling lonely was associated with increased risk of incident cognitive impairment (HR = 1.31, 95%CI = 1.19-1.44), after accounting for age, sex, education, and SHARE country strata. The association was robust but reduced in magnitude when controlling for clinical and behavioral risk factors, health-related activity limitations, social isolation, social disengagement and depressive symptoms. The association was not moderated by socio-demographic factors and was also apparent when using the 3-item loneliness scale instead of the single-item measure.Conclusions: These findings expand the extant literature on loneliness and risk of cognitive impairment in older adulthood. Loneliness is one modifiable factor that can be intervened on prior to the development of severe impairment or dementia.

This study attempts to develop a prediction model for identifying cyberbullying "hotspots" by analyzing the manifestation of charged language on Twitter. A total of 140,000 tweets were collected using a Twitter API during September 2019. The study reports that certain charged language in tweets can indicate a high potential for cyberbullying incidents. Cyberbullies tend to share negative emotion, demonstrate anger, and use abusive words to attack victims. The predictor variables related to "biology," "sexual," and "swear" can be further used to differentiate cyberbullies from non-cyberbullies. The study contributes to the detection of cyberbullying "hotspots," by providing an approach to identify a tendency for cyberbullying activity based on computational analysis of charged language. The contribution is significant for mediation agenciesdsuch as school counseling and law enforcement agencies. (C) 2020 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

Show moreThe effectiveness of undergraduate career courses has been demonstrated for a variety of variables, such as career certainty, career maturity, career decision-making skills, and reducing dysfunctional career thoughts. While such studies used the career course as an intervention, most failed to include a comparison course and were not grounded in career theory. Therefore, 152 undergraduate students enrolled in four sections of a career development course and 47 students enrolled in three sections of an undergraduate human relations course completed pre and post tests on career-related constructs. Results indicated that the career course yielded significant improvements in career development variables, such as career decision state, cognitive information processing skills, career decision-making stage, knowledge of next steps, and anxiety about current career concern, but the human relations course did not. The CIP-based career course is supported as a valid career intervention, and individuals may benefit from targeted interventions depending on their stage in the CASVE Cycle. Future research might compare different career-theory based or a-theoretical career courses on career development outcomes.

Show moreMany protein architectures exhibit evidence of internal rotational symmetry postulated to be the result of gene duplication/fusion events involving a primordial polypeptide motif. A common feature of such structures is a domain-swapped arrangement at the interface of the N- and C-termini motifs and postulated to provide cooperative interactions that promote folding and stability. De novo designed symmetric protein architectures have demonstrated an ability to accommodate circular permutation of the N- and C-termini in the overall architecture; however, the folding requirement of the primordial motif are poorly understood, and tolerance to circular permutation is essentially unknown. The β-trefoil protein fold is a threefold symmetric architecture where the repeating ~42-mer “trefoil-fold” motif assembles via a domain-swapped arrangement. The trefoil-fold structure in isolation exposes considerable hydrophobic area that is otherwise buried in the intact β-trefoil trimeric assembly. The trefoil-fold sequence is not predicted to adopt the trefoil-fold architecture in ab initio folding studies; rather, the predicted fold is closely related to a compact “blade” motif from the β-propeller architecture. Expression of a trefoil-fold sequence and circular permutants shows that only the wild-type N-terminal motif definition yields an intact β-trefoil trimeric assembly, while permutants yield monomers. The results elucidate the folding requirements of the primordial trefoil-fold motif, and also suggest that this motif may sample a compact conformation that limits hydrophobic residue exposure, contains key trefoil-fold structural features, but is more structurally homologous to a β-propeller blade motif.

Based on focus groups and individual interviews with administrators, faculty, and staff (659 participants) from 21 state colleges, we found a continuum of three data cultures ranging from democratic data cultures to blended data cultures to “need to know” data cultures. We triangulate these results with survey data from FCS institutional leaders and find considerable variation in the extent of data sharing and perceptions of effectiveness of institutional data use. Institutions with democratic data cultures tended to have distributed leadership that encouraged information sharing and collaboration among staff to use data to inform change. Need-to-know institutions faced challenges, including weak data quality, concerns about adequate time and resources among staff for reviewing data, and perceptions that staff lack data literacy skills.

At the Tier 1 level, pre-post (immediate) comparisons on a social skills rating scale indicated statistically significant differences by group at the α = .10 level (p = 0.058). A significant Tier 1 quadratic effect for time [pre-test, post-test (immediate), post-test (delayed)] was found (p = 0.029) as well. At the Tier 2 level, pre-post comparisons indicated no statistically significant group improvement. Pre-post comparisons at the individual level found that about 39% of the children had statistically significant improvement in social skills, with 9% indicating a decrease in problem behaviors.

Byrd, Nick
- Abstract/Description
-
Depression is a common and devastating instance of ill-being which deserves an account. Moreover, the ill-being of depression is impacted by digital technology: some uses of digital technology increase such ill-being while other uses of digital technology increase well-being. So a good account of ill-being would explicate the antecedents of depressive symptoms and their relief, digitally and otherwise. This paper borrows a causal network account of well-being and applies it to ill-being,...
Show moreDepression is a common and devastating instance of ill-being which deserves an account. Moreover, the ill-being of depression is impacted by digital technology: some uses of digital technology increase such ill-being while other uses of digital technology increase well-being. So a good account of ill-being would explicate the antecedents of depressive symptoms and their relief, digitally and otherwise. This paper borrows a causal network account of well-being and applies it to ill-being, particularly depression. Causal networks are found to provide a principled, coherent, intuitively plausible, and empirically adequate account of cases of depression in everyday and digital contexts. Causal network accounts of illbeing also offer philosophical, scientific, and practical utility. Insofar as other accounts of ill-being cannot offer these advantages, we should prefer causal network accounts of ill-being.

A large and growing population of students with autism is increasingly pursuing higher education. Yet, the field has a remarkably small literature base from which to glean actionable insights that might enhance postsecondary success for this population. Our examination of 13,000 items published in sixteen journals over a sixteen-year period revealed only 21 articles on the topic; none were published in mainstream higher education journals.

Show moreA large and growing population of students with autism is increasingly pursuing higher education. Yet, the field has a remarkably small literature base from which to glean actionable insights that might enhance postsecondary success for this population. Our examination of 13,000 items published in sixteen journals over a sixteen-year period revealed only 21 articles on the topic; none were published in mainstream higher education journals. Our explication of this literature maps the contours of the emerging body of literature on college students with autism, uncovers problematic patterns within that literature, identifies important questions that remain unanswered, and provides explicit guidance for future research on the topic.

Using a cluster-randomized controlled trial research design, this study investigates the effect of the first year of a three-year teacher professional development program on grades 1 and 2 student achievement in mathematics. Although the findings reported in the present report do not meet the standard cutoff for statistical significance (e.g., 95% confidence), effect-size estimates for student achievement in the first year of implementation were positive for the tests that focused on problem...
Show moreUsing a cluster-randomized controlled trial research design, this study investigates the effect of the first year of a three-year teacher professional development program on grades 1 and 2 student achievement in mathematics. Although the findings reported in the present report do not meet the standard cutoff for statistical significance (e.g., 95% confidence), effect-size estimates for student achievement in the first year of implementation were positive for the tests that focused on problem solving, applications of mathematics, and algebraic thinking, and they were negative for the computation-focused tests. Those effects varied by grade level. Implications and suggestions for next steps are discussed.

Fadool, Debra Ann, Kolling, Louis John
- Abstract/Description
-
Our olfactory system not only detects chemicals in the external environment but also subserves to detect the chemicals in our internal environment - the chemistry of energy homeostasis and metabolism. Olfaction guides our eating behavior using an array of neuroendocrine molecules that are detected across the main olfactory epithelium, the olfactory bulb, and higher cortical regions. Both metabolic state (fasting, satiation) and metabolic balance (obesity, metabolic disease) can affect...

Olfaction guides our eating behavior using an array of neuroendocrine molecules that are detected across the main olfactory epithelium, the olfactory bulb, and higher cortical regions. Both metabolic state (fasting, satiation) and metabolic balance (obesity, metabolic disease) can affect olfactory-regulated eating behaviors. This review will delve into the physiological and behavioral link between olfaction, metabolism, eating, and health.

This study examined the efficacy of a computer-based social skills training program, The Social Express. Independent researchers evaluated the program at both a school-wide level (Tier 1) and at a referred-group level (Tier 2). The sample included third-, fourth-, and fifth-grade students in a Title 1 public school with a 100% African-American population. At the Tier 1 level, pre-post (immediate) comparisons on a social skills rating scale indicated statistically significant differences by...
Show moreThis study examined the efficacy of a computer-based social skills training program, The Social Express. Independent researchers evaluated the program at both a school-wide level (Tier 1) and at a referred-group level (Tier 2). The sample included third-, fourth-, and fifth-grade students in a Title 1 public school with a 100% African-American population. At the Tier 1 level, pre-post (immediate) comparisons on a social skills rating scale indicated statistically significant differences by group at the α = .10 level (p = 0.058). A significant Tier 1 quadratic effect for time [pre-test, post-test (immediate), post-test (delayed)] was found (p = 0.029) as well. At the Tier 2 level, pre-post comparisons indicated no statistically significant group improvement. Pre-post comparisons at the individual level found that about 39% of the children had statistically significant improvement in social skills, with 9% indicating a decrease in problem behaviors.

Show moreCognitive information processing theory (CIP; Sampson et al., 2004) originated in 1971 at Florida State University as researchers in career development who were strongly engaged in the delivery of career services integrated years of practice and research to create CIP theory. Since that time, hundreds of scholarly works in the form of conceptual and empirical articles, book chapters, and so forth, have been written on the key elements of CIP theory. In fact, Brown (2015) stated that “probably the most widely studied career interventions have been those devel-oped” from CIP theory (p. 62). CIP has been well-cited since its development, with 188 peer-reviewed articles and 350-plus total scholarly works (Sampson, Reardon, Peterson, & Lenz, 2019). The majority of these scholarly works are from the United States; however, several are from international contributors. In addition, the Center for the Study of Technology in Counsel-ling and Development (https://career.fsu.edu/tech-center/about-us), which focuses on exploring and building upon CIP theory and practice, has hosted 47 international visitors with interest in research and application of CIP theory. These contacts have shared via scholarly work as well as anecdotally about the impact of applying CIP in their settings.

Show moreTracking students’ learning states to provide tailored learner support is a critical element of an adaptive learning system. This study explores how an automatic assessment is capable of tracking learners’ cognitive and emotional states during virtual reality (VR)-based representational-flexibility training. This VR-based training program aims to promote the flexibility of adolescents with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in interpreting, selecting, and creating multimodal representations during STEM-related design problem-solving. For the automatic assessment, we used both natural language processing (NLP) and machine-learning techniques to develop a multi-label classification model. We then trained the model with the data from a total of audio- and video-recorded 66 training sessions of four adolescents with ASD. To validate the model, we implemented both k-fold cross-validations and the manual evaluations by expert reviewers. The study finding suggests the feasibility of implementing the NLP and machine-learning driven automatic assessment to track and assess the cognitive and emotional states of individuals with ASD during VR-based flexibility training. The study finding also denotes the importance and viability of providing adaptive supports to maintain learners’ cognitive and affective engagement in a highly interactive digital learning environment.
