Show morePurpose: The purpose of this project is to improve healthcare literacy in underserved patients by addressing healthcare providers’ modes of communication when caring for this population. This study will identify culturally common terms used in the underserved community to describe chronic disease processes, as well as assess graduate NP nursing student’s knowledge of common substitute terms and application when providing care in the underserved population. Additionally, we will examine if demographic information effects the use of culturally competent language when providing care. Methods: A quasi-exploratory designed study was employed. A convenience sampling method was utilized for collecting data. Thirty-four graduate NP nursing students at one College of Nursing participated in the study. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze data for examination of the study aims. Results: There were a total of 34 participants to take the survey. The majority of the graduate student NPs who took the Self-Assessment tool learned key words for enhanced communication during assessment (58.9%) while (2.9%) did this rarely or not at all. When asked if participants learned familial colloquialisms (58.9%) while (2.9%) did this rarely or not at all. When asked to identify substitute terms used by the underserved population 2 of the participants identified the terms incorrectly. When asked if these terms were utilized when providing educational information, thirty-one replied “yes” while 3 answered “no”. After taking the Self-Assessment combined with years of experience did the respondents feel comfortable with the use of cultural literacy and communication fourteen replied “yes” and 2 replied “no”. Conclusion: Findings from the Self-Assessment tool demonstrate that graduate nurse NP students are aware and utilize culturally sensitive communication in the underserved population. Using words or phrases that are familiar to the patient population provides improved communication. Further investigation is needed to evaluate undergraduate nursing students. Additionally, demographic information including place of employment and specialty could enhance utilization of culturally sensitive communication. The nursing profession is focused on the patient as an individual, this also includes dialect and cultural terms that are recognizable to the individual and the community.

Title: Humanizing Augmented Reality with Lumin.
Creator: DiRienzo, Megan, Montiel de Shuman, Andrea, Viera, Alicia
Abstract/Description: Art museums are packed with objects that connect us to the creativity of human beings from around the globe and throughout time. So, why—in this media-saturated world that confuses fiction with fact—would museums choose to disrupt this authentic connection to humanity with a handheld device that augments reality? The formative evaluation of Lumin, an augmented reality (AR) tour at the Detroit Institute of Arts (DIA), revealed some compelling reasons.

Title: Non-complicit: Revisiting Hans Asperger’s Career in Nazi-era Vienna.
Creator: Falk, Dean
Abstract/Description: Recent allegations that pediatrician Hans Asperger legitimized Nazi policies, including forced sterilization and child euthanasia, are refuted with newly translated and chronologically-ordered information that takes into account Hitler’s deceptive ‘halt’ to the T4 euthanasia program in 1941.

Show moreRecent allegations that pediatrician Hans Asperger legitimized Nazi policies, including forced sterilization and child euthanasia, are refuted with newly translated and chronologically-ordered information that takes into account Hitler’s deceptive ‘halt’ to the T4 euthanasia program in 1941. It is highly unlikely that Asperger was aware of the T4 program when he referred Herta Schreiber to Am Spiegelgrund or when he mentioned that institution 4 months later on the medical chart of another (unrelated) girl, Elisabeth Schreiber. Asperger campaigned vigorously from 1938 to 1943 to have his specialization, Curative Education, take priority in the diagnosis and treatment of disabled children over other fields that promoted Nazi racial hygiene policies. He neither disparaged his patients nor was he sexist. By 1938, he had identified the essentials of Asperger syndrome and described an unnamed boy whom he later profiled (as Ernst K.) in 1944. Rather than doing ‘thin’ research, Asperger made discoveries that were prescient, and some of his activities conformed to definitions of “individual resistance.”

Show morePurpose: This review examined five chosen diet-based weight loss programs for common barriers to weight loss, efficacy, and risks and benefits specific to each diet. An educational toolkit was then produced to help providers counsel their patients on these programs. Methods: A search of empirical literature in electronic databases (e.g., CINAHL, Pubmed, JANE, Dynamed Plus, Cochrane’s Library, and ScienceDirect) was conducted during November and December of 2018. Of the 36 included articles, 14 were randomized controlled trials and ten were systematic reviews or meta analyses. The remaining 12 were either nonrandomized, observational, cross sectional, or qualitative. Four websites provided background information on these programs. Results: Barriers to weight loss included lack of accountability and self-motivation, as well as interference with life and personal tastes. Every diet produced significant weight loss compared to baseline and a control group. Statistically significant differences in weight loss were not seen when comparing two or more diets. However, the Ketosis diet had weight loss efficacy outcomes that were substantially larger comparatively. Every diet was found to have at least one associated benefit or risk. The ketosis diet had several adverse effects and medical contraindications. Discussion: This literature review suggests the chosen diets are effective at producing weight loss in patients who adhere to the diet. There were no statistically significantly differences in weight loss outcomes or improvements in cardiovascular risk factors among the chosen diets. The ketosis diet, while effective at generating weight loss, is shown to be contraindicated with several chronic healthcare problems. Conclusions: This literature review suggests that healthcare providers should fully appraise an individual’s history before recommending a diet-based weight loss program in order to increase adherence and maximize benefits for individuals with specific chronic conditions.

Show moreThe purpose of this study is to examine the prevalence of different workplace accommodation request strategies, the effectiveness of different request approaches, and situational and individual factors associated with different request strategies for individuals with disabilities. Common action plans of accommodation requests may vary depending on decisions about mentioning the ADA (or not) and whether a formal (or informal) request is submitted, though past literature has focused primarily on formal accommodation requests made under the auspices of the ADA. Participants (n=408) were recruited from rehabilitation agencies and organizations serving people with disabilities in the United States. The results indicated that informal requests without mentioning the ADA were found most often, followed by formal requests while not mentioning the ADA, formal requests while mentioning the ADA, and informal requests while mentioning the ADA. The odds of acquiring the requested accommodation were significantly higher, relative to other strategies, for requests made informally without mentioning the ADA. A variety of individual attributes capable of discerning when participants chose one strategy over another were observed; these included self-efficacy and outcome expectancy, negative affect, and an array of situational and personal attributes. Implications for research and practice were discussed.

Show moreScholars have long argued that individuals' beliefs influence their behaviors and the decisions they make throughout their lives. Focusing on beliefs as a cognitive construct, the purpose of this study was to identify several key beliefs about mathematics teaching and learning held by practicing elementary mathematics teachers. An iterative process of literature review, item development and adaptation, expert review of items, and cognitive interviews resulted in 55 items and 5 hypothesized belief constructs. After using the items in a questionnaire completed by more than 200 practicing teachers in two waves of data collection, we modeled the response data using a multiphase process in pursuit of parsimony and a clear factor structure. The resulting 21-item questionnaire provides an alternative measure of Transmissionist beliefs about teaching and a first way to measure two new constructs in teacher beliefs research: Facts First and Fixed Instructional Plan.

Show moreThe current five-year survival rate for systemic AL amyloidosis or multiple myeloma is 51%, indicating the urgent need for better diagnosis methods and treatment plans. Here, we describe highly specific and sensitive top-down and middle-down MS/MS methods owning the advantages of fast sample preparation, ultrahigh mass accuracy, and extensive residue cleavages with 21 telsa FT-ICR MS/MS. Unlike genomic testing, which requires bone marrow aspiration and may fail to identify all monoclonal immunoglobulins produced by the body, the present method requires only a blood draw. In addition, circulating monoclonal immunoglobulins spanning the entire population are analyzed and reflect the selection of germline sequence by B cells. The monoclonal immunoglobulin light chain FR2-CDR2-FR3 was sequenced by database-aided de novo MS/MS and 100% matched the gene sequencing result, except for two amino acids with isomeric counterparts, enabling accurate germline sequence classification. The monoclonal immunoglobulin heavy chains were also classified into specific germline sequences based on the present method. This work represents the first application of top/middle-down MS/MS sequencing of endogenous human monoclonal immunoglobulins with polyclonal immunoglobulins background.

Show moreThis study examined how age, depressive symptoms, demographic variables, frailty, and health factors jointly influence episodic memory across the lifespan in two large, diverse samples. Hierarchical regression analyses from both samples showed that depressive symptoms negatively impacted episodic memory performance with the effect being more pronounced for older adults. Health and frailty tended not to be associated with episodic memory. However, the main effect of depressive symptoms tended to remain significant over and above other predictors, while the interaction with age was weakened with the addition of demographic variables. The unique contribution of this study is demonstrating that the relationship between depressive symptoms and episodic memory is moderated by age across relatively large non-clinical lifespan samples of adults. The findings indicate the importance of measuring and studying depressive symptoms during the course of aging in order to better understand the complex relationship between age, affect, physical functioning, and memory.

Show moreGiven social workers' essential connection to child welfare work and the importance of field day training to both worker retention and client wellbeing, this study used a theories of transfer framework and qualitative interviews with newly-hired workers to examine their field day training experiences including the value workers placed on them and the conditions that facilitated successful learning. From a statewide sample of newly-hired child welfare workers (N=1501), participants (N=38) were randomly selected to participate in telephone interviews. Almost 50% had positive, meaningful experiences, 40% did not, and the remaining had mixed experiences. Those with positive experiences generally felt that field days exposed them to critical, realistic job content while those with negative experiences felt frustrated that they received incomplete training and wasted time in agency offices without guidance. Congruent with the theories of transfer framework, meaningful field days depended upon the level of: (1) integration of knowledge and skills learned in the classroom with practice; (2) structure; (3) functioning in disrupted environments; and (4) engagement between newly-hired workers and certified workers. Notwithstanding complex work responsibilities and pressured environments, training efforts could benefit from recognizing the need for coordinated integration of classroom and field training content and providing the time necessary for certified workers and newly-hired workers to partner and review training content in a supportive environment.

In particular, this study explored how these students described their experiences within an online environment among their peers. The study used unobtrusive qualitative methods to collect and analyze data on online forum discussion posts from college students with autism spectrum disorder. Results indicated that students found their support systems in various ways. Many report using services provided by their Office of Disability Services, but students must be aware that these services exist first, and often must have a diagnosis to receive such supports. This study makes suggestions for higher education institutions to identify and promote their support services, both those that are accessible through Offices of Disability Services, and those that are available without diagnosis or disclosure.

Title: Increasing Momentum for Student Success: Developmental Education Redesign and Student Progress in Florida.

Abstract/Description: Since the fall semester of 2014, Florida’s Senate Bill 1720 (SB 1720) initiated a major statewide developmental education reform in the Florida College System (FCS). Now that the reform has been underway for a few years, we use first-time-in-college (FTIC) students to examine three sets of indicators of student progress to understand the impacts of SB 1720: developmental education enrollment and passing rates, introductory college-level course enrollment and passing rates, and college-level...
Show moreSince the fall semester of 2014, Florida’s Senate Bill 1720 (SB 1720) initiated a major statewide developmental education reform in the Florida College System (FCS). Now that the reform has been underway for a few years, we use first-time-in-college (FTIC) students to examine three sets of indicators of student progress to understand the impacts of SB 1720: developmental education enrollment and passing rates, introductory college-level course enrollment and passing rates, and college-level credit hours attempted and earned during the first year of enrollment. For introductory college-level course passing rates, we present our results in two different ways. The first is a course-based passing rate, which is the number of students passing English or math courses divided by the total number of students enrolled in the course. The second measure is a cohort-based passing rate—the number of individuals passing the English or math courses divided by the total number of students in that cohort. We use data from Florida’s K-20 Education Data Warehouse (EDW), which tracks all Florida public school students remaining in-state from Kindergarten to postsecondary education. We include six-cohorts (fall 2011 to fall 2016) of FTIC student data from all 28 public state colleges in Florida. The key findings include: • Enrollment rates in developmental reading, writing, and math declined sharply following the reform. • Passing rates in developmental education courses remained relatively constant. • Enrollment rates in introductory college-level courses increased following the reform, most notably in math courses. • Course-based passing rates in English remained relatively stable over time, while course-based passing rates in intermediate algebra declined. • Cohort-based passing rates in English and math courses increased following the reform from a cohort-by-cohort comparative perspective. • Cohort-based passing rates for Black and Hispanic students increased at greater rates than White students. • Total first-year credit hours attempted and earned increased for all students following the reform. • Black and Hispanic students experienced a greater increase in college-level credits earned following the reform, compared to White students. In sum, since the implementation of the developmental education reform in Florida in fall of 2014, there has been an increase of student success as measured by introductory college-level course passing rates as measured as the share of students of each cohort who passed the courses and college-level credit hours attempted and earned during the first year of enrollment. The findings also point to the narrowing gaps in those measures for students of different racial/ethnic backgrounds. Overall, the developmental education redesign in Florida appears to have led to increased success and improved equity in the Florida College System.

Show moreThe purpose of this study was to determine the effect of the menstrual cycle on responses to a dichotic listening task. It was hypothesized that participants would exhibit a stronger right ear advantage during the menstrual cycle days when estrogen levels are at their peak. It was also hypothesized that the women not taking oral contraceptives would exhibit greater variations in ear advantage over the course of their menstrual cycle than those taking oral contraceptives. Finally, it was hypothesized that the error response rates would remain similar across different listening conditions and over the menstrual cycle. The participants were 30 women who took oral contraceptives and 15 who did not. They completed nine listening sessions comprised of three dichotic listening tasks: forced-left, forced-right, and open. The data were analyzed using a mixed effects models. The participants exhibited a reduction in right ear responses on the days that corresponded to when the level of estrogen would begin to increase. This response was different from what had been hypothesized. The analysis also indicated no response differences between the two groups of women. In addition, the women exhibited fewer errors over the course of the sessions, implying that they adapted to the task. The results indicate that the women's hormone fluctuation across the menstrual cycle affected their responses to the forced-left, cognitive control, task only.

Show moreIn this paper, a new Domain Decomposition Non-Intrusive Reduced Order Model (DDNIROM) is developed for turbulent flows. The method works by partitioning the computational domain into a number of subdomains in such a way that the summation of weights associated with the finite element nodes within each subdomain is approximately equal, and the communication between subdomains is minimised. With suitably chosen weights, it is expected that there will be approximately equal accuracy associated with each subdomain. This accuracy is maximised by allowing the partitioning to occur through areas of the domain that have relatively little flow activity, which, in this case, is characterised by the pointwise maximum Reynolds stresses. A Gaussian Process Regression (GPR) machine learning method is used to construct a set of local approximation functions (hypersurfaces) for each subdomain. Each local hypersurface represents not only the fluid dynamics over the subdomain it belongs to, but also the interactions of the flow dynamics with the surrounding subdomains. Thus, in this way, the surrounding subdomains may be viewed as providing boundary conditions for the current subdomain. We consider a specific example of turbulent air flow within an urban neighbourhood at a test site in London and demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed DDNIROM.

Self-report data were acquired from 273 Scottish high school girls in Grades S1-S3 (the equivalent of Grades 7-9 in North America) at 2 time points separated by 1 week. Significant predictive pathways were found from transformational teaching to girls' moderate to vigorous physical activity via mediated effects of acquisitive self-presentation motives and physical activity identity. This preliminary study provides a novel contribution to the research area by showing how previously unrelated psychosocial constructs work together to predict adolescent girls' moderate to vigorous physical activity. Results are discussed in relation to existing literature and future research directions.

Show morePast work suggests that fatigue reduces prosociality, but it remains unclear whether lay perceivers account for fatigue when judging moral character. The current work presents six studies suggesting that people operate as fatigue compatibilists: Perceivers expected fatigued actors to help less than refreshed actors, and they rated non-helpers as more fatigued than their refreshed counterparts, but perceivers ignored fatigue when evaluating moral character. Instead, ratings of actor morality hinged on whether actors helped or not, regardless of actor fatigue. Findings held for a variety of dependent measures, across student and online samples, for within-and between-subjects designs, regardless of lay willpower beliefs, for both prescribed and proscribed actions, and for both mundane and extreme levels of helping and fatigue. These findings suggest that lay perceivers surmise that fatigue reduces actors' likelihood of acting prosocially, but they interpret fatigue as an insufficient reason for moral failings.

Abstract/Description: Volunteering is beneficial not only for individuals' well-being but also for society's well-being; yet only a fraction of U.S. citizens regularly engage in volunteer activities. This study examined how underlying motivations are associated with interest in volunteering for individuals in three major life phases: early, middle, and later adulthood.

Show moreVolunteering is beneficial not only for individuals' well-being but also for society's well-being; yet only a fraction of U.S. citizens regularly engage in volunteer activities. This study examined how underlying motivations are associated with interest in volunteering for individuals in three major life phases: early, middle, and later adulthood. Data were collected from 1,046 adults who volunteered through nonprofit organizations in Nevada (USA). Exploratory factor analysis revealed that community service, career advancement, and well-being were common underlying motivations for individuals across life stages. However, generativity among the later adulthood group, and social networking among the early and middle adulthood groups were unique motivations for volunteering. Regression analysis showed that the community service motivation was significantly associated with individuals' interest in volunteering among all life stages. Simultaneously, generativity for the later adulthood group, and career advancement for the early adulthood group were unique motivations linked to their actual interest in volunteering.

Title: Heterogeneous Effects Of Adolescent Violent Victimization On Problematic Outcomes In Early Adulthood.

Nevertheless, some victims are more likely to suffer these consequences than others, and we do not have a very good understanding of why that is.

Show moreViolent victimization-particularly when it happens to young people-can inflict a wide array of negative consequences across the life course. Nevertheless, some victims are more likely to suffer these consequences than others, and we do not have a very good understanding of why that is. One promising avenue of research is to examine how individuals' differential risks of being victimized affect the extent to which they experience negative outcomes. By using propensity score matching and data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health (N = 8,323), in this study I estimate the heterogeneous effects of adolescent violent victimization on several problematic outcomes in early adulthood (violent and property offending, subsequent violent victimization, depressive symptoms, hard drug use, and low educational attainment). Individuals' differential risks of adolescent violent victimization are estimated with a host of personal, social, and contextual factors, including prior experiences with crime and violence. The results show that the consequences of adolescent victimization in early adulthood are more pronounced for youth with the lowest risks of being victimized. These findings have important implications for theory, research, and practice, and they emphasize that the consequences of victimization cannot be understood separately from the sources of victimization.

Method: Cross-sectional data from 7,348 respondents aged 60 and older from the 2012/2014 waves of the Health and Retirement Study (HRS) were used to estimate linear regression models. Results: Older immigrants experienced higher levels of life satisfaction than comparable native-born individuals. This "happiness advantage" was particularly salient for Hispanic immigrants, who reported the highest levels of life satisfaction of all groups included in the study. With increasing education, life satisfaction increased for White and "Other Race" groups, regardless of nativity. However, for both Black groups and native-born Hispanics, higher levels of education were associated with lower life satisfaction. Discussion: Findings suggest that the "happiness paradox" may not only be a matter of Hispanic ethnicity, but that it may also extend to immigrants from other ethnoracial backgrounds.

Show moreIn the United States, Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) O157 and six non-O157 serogroups O26, O45, O103, O111, O121 and O145 are considered adulterants in non-intact beef. Further, Salmonella is responsible for one of the highest numbers of foodborne infections worldwide. Multiple foods, especially meats, are routinely tested for these pathogens using methods like PCR. However, with such a large group of organisms, multiplexing using probe-based PCR assays is expensive due to the need for differently labeled oligonucleotide probes and sophisticated instrumentation. The aim of this study was to design low-cost multiplex real-time PCR assays for the detection of seven STEC serogroups, stx(1), stx(2) genes and virulent Salmonella. Two multiplex real-time PCR melt curve assays with internal amplification controls (1AG) were standardized. The first assay detected E. coli O121, E. coli O145, E. coli O157, stx(1), and stx(2). The second assay targeted E. coli O26, E. coli O111, E. coil O103, E. coli O45, and Salmonella. Ground beef and beef trim inoculated with 5-27 CFU/325 g of STEC and 9-36 CFU/325 g of Salmonella could be detected following an 8-10 h enrichment at 40 degrees C +/- 2 degrees C in buffered peptone water containing 8 mg/L vancomycin. The assays showed reproducible results for beef products with different fat contents. These assays do not rely on fluorescent-labeled probes or immunomagnetic beads, yet accurately detect seven STEC serogroups, seven stx gene subtypes and Salmonella, making them suitable for routine testing of STEC and Salmonella in beef.

Show moreResearch on language learning motivation has typically focused on the strength of different motives in isolation and often out of context. The present study aims to explore the applicability of Higgins’s (2014) global framework of motivation to integrate different perspectives. We investigated how adaptive interactions between learners’ motivations for value, truth and control effectiveness, and contextual factors led to varying motivational trajectories and patterns of emergent stability at different stages of the language learning experiences of six Iranian graduate students learning English in the USA. Using a retrospective-longitudinal design, quasi-narrative accounts of key phases of the learners’ language learning histories were documented through interviews. These data were analyzed following an analytic inductive approach (Saldaña, 2015) to identify the main events within different contexts, themes associated with each setting, and other bottom-up conceptual categories. Using a process tracing procedure (Bennett & Checkel, 2015), our results showed that dynamic processes and adaptive or competitive interactions between value, control, and truth-related motivations and the context in which they emerged resulted in specific motivational trajectories that shaped these learners’ language learning choices and experiences. We discuss the contribution of these novel frameworks for understanding the complex motivational development of language learners.

Questionnaire data from 287 college students studying foreign languages in the United States confirmed that learners make calculated decisions regarding whether to seek feedback, by what method, and from what source, based on their own perceptions of the costs and values associated with different feedback-seeking strategies, which are, in turn, largely predicted by the learners’ language mindsets and achievement goals. Learners with a growth language mindset and development-approach goals sought feedback using both monitoring and inquiry methods and from teachers and others. Learners with a fixed language mindset and demonstration goals sought feedback only by method of inquiry but from different sources depending on the valence (approach vs. avoidance) of their goals.

METHOD: The study sample (n = 270, mean age = 28.47, 95.2% female, 98% White/Caucasian) consisted of probands and biological relatives who met DSM-IV criteria for lifetime diagnoses of AN (omitting criterion D, amenorrhea) drawn from the Price Foundation Anorexia Nervosa Affected Relative Pairs Study (AN-ARP). Participants completed measures assessing personality, interoceptive dysfunction, and eating pathology. RESULTS: Associations between personality features of low self-directedness and high perfectionism and indicators of AN severity (drive for thinness and eating disorder-related preoccupations and rituals) were significant, as were the hypothesized indirect pathways through interoceptive dysfunction. Neither harm avoidance nor body mass index was significantly related to other study variables, and the proposed indirect pathways involving these variables were not significant. DISCUSSION: Findings suggest that certain personality features may relate to AN severity, in part, through their associations with interoceptive dysfunction. Future research should examine prospective associations and the value of interventions targeting interoceptive dysfunction for interrupting the link between personality and AN severity.

This paper introduces a theoretical framework for researcher participation in RIMSs. The framework is grounded in empirical research and can guide the design of RIMSs by defining typologies of researcher activities in RIMSs, related motivations, levels of participation, and metadata profiles. In addition, the framework defines discipline- and seniority-specific priorities for the researcher’s activities and motivations. RIMS managers and scholarly communications librarians can use the framework to assemble RIMS service and metadata profiles that are tailored to the researcher’s context. Likewise, the framework can guide the construction of communication messages personalized to the researcher’s priorities and her or his motivations for engaging in a specific activity, which will enhance the researcher’s engagement with the RIMS.

We extend previous research demonstrating that using placement tests to assign students into developmental courses results in frequent misplacement. We use Florida data to explore the extent to which students are misplaced into their first college course by more than one level. Results suggest that moving away from placement tests and toward other metrics (like high school grade point average [GPA]) may not be as beneficial in Florida as was demonstrated in prior studies. Rather, it may be preferable to choose cutoffs that minimize misplacement than to use new metrics. States should consider their own unique contexts and examine whether they can improve placement accuracy by changing cut scores.

Show moreFossil mollusk shells are widely distributed in the geologic records and their oxygen isotopic compositions have been used to reconstruct seasonality, local climatic and elevation conditions. However, interpretation of isotope data from fossil shells to estimate paleoclimate and elevation is often ambiguous. This study examines the oxygen isotopic systematics of modern freshwater gastropods (Bellamya and Radix) shells along an elevation/climate transect in the Asian monsoon region of China to improve the accuracy of paleoclimate and paleoelevation reconstruction using stable isotopes in fossil shells. The results from sclerochronological analyses of the shells show that the intra-shell oxygen isotopic pattern is determined by seasonal variations in lake water temperature and water isotopic composition as well as the life cycle of the organism. Both Bellamya and Radix appear to grow throughout the year in lakes where water temperature does not fall below 13° C. Radix in the high elevation cold habitat, although prefers to grow in the warmer months, can survive through the freezing temperature. The δ18O patterns in the shells are similar across the elevation/climate transect, showing high δ18O values in the winter months and low δ18O values in the summer months, consistent with the expected pattern in Asian monsoon region. The average growth rates of the shells were highest at the lowest elevation site (warm and humid climate) but were similar at the mid to high elevation sites. For large shells (> 2.2 cm for Bellamya and > 1.4 cm for Radix), average growth temperatures, calculated using the aragonite oxygen isotope thermometer, closely approximate the annual mean water temperature while their intra-shell variability is a good proxy for the amplitude of seasonal variations in monthly air temperature. This suggests that large shells of both Bellamya and Radix are excellent archives of lake environmental conditions and most suitable for paleoenvironmental studies.

Show moreThe accumulation and spatial distribution of economically important petroleum in sedimentary basins are primarily controlled by its migration from source rocks through permeable carrier beds to reservoirs. Tracing petroleum migration entails the use of molecular indices established according to sorption capacities of polar molecules in migrating petroleum. However, little is known about molecular sorption capacities in natural migration systems, rendering these indices unreliable. Here, we present a new approach based on a novel concept of relative sorption coefficient for quantitatively assessing sorption capacities of polar molecules during natural petroleum migration. Using this approach, we discovered previously unrecognized “stripping” and “impeding” effects that significantly reduce the sorption capacities of polar compounds. These discoveries provide new insights into the behaviors of polar compounds and can easily explain why traditional molecular indices yield incorrect information about petroleum migration. In light of these new findings, we established new molecular indices for tracing petroleum migration. We demonstrate via case studies that the newly established indices, unlike traditional molecular indices, are reliable and effective in tracing petroleum migration. Our approach can be applied to diverse basins around the world to reveal distribution patterns of petroleum, which would decrease environmental risks of exploration by reducing unsuccessful wells.

Show moreThis paper separates two mechanisms through which agglomeration increases average firm innovation: selection (less innovative firms being forced out of agglomerations) and true agglomeration (firms become more innovative). I apply a quantile regression to estimate the distribution of firm innovation and separate these two mechanisms. Linking a unique establishment-level dataset with the patent dataset in the state of Maryland for the period 2004-2013, I find that a 1-mile radius area with above-median employment concentration significantly encourages firm innovation. An average establishment that files for at least one patent during the study period increases citation-weighted patent applications by 31.2% to 31.5% in such employment centers. I also find evidence of selection: non-innovators are 1.3% less likely to survive in agglomerations. The coexistence of agglomeration and selection causes the result of an ordinary least squares regression to be upwardly biased. By eliminating the selection effect, this study more precisely estimates the agglomeration effect, which can be applied to cost-benefit and cost-effectiveness analyses of urban and industrial policies.

Interviewees (A) praised his politically incorrect spirit, (B) glorified his entrepreneurial spirit, and (C) celebrated his fighting spirit.

We find that the opinion leaders who emerge after a crisis are assumed to have local knowledge about the incident and/or are able to quickly curate information about the incident. In addition, we find that the quality of information spread by opinion leaders is critical to narrative construction and civility. The largely fact-based narratives associated with the FSU incident were far more civil than the OSU narratives, which were based on disinformation and polemics. We conclude the article by calling on scholars to take a more nuanced approach to conceptualizing and studying opinion leaders.

Show morePast studies have shown that various aspects of occupational attainment (unemployment, job instability, low occupational status, and low earnings) are associated with poor mental health, but each of these studies focused on one or two aspects of occupational attainment. Consequently, it remains unclear whether their associations are independent of each other. Further, little is known about whether negative self-assessments of occupational attainment are linked to poor mental health. We sought to overcome these limitations of past research while focusing on depressive symptoms as a mental health outcome and young adulthood as a life stage context. The study analysed U.S. data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health (n = 13,178) using ordinary least square models. The analysis showed that all aspects of occupational attainment were associated with depressive symptoms in the expected directions. Further, unemployment, job instability, and negative self-assessment of career progress showed stronger associations, and those associations were independent of other occupational attainment variables. Overall, the results suggested that understanding the association between occupational attainment and mental health requires close attention to the life stage context.

Show moreThe role of climate change in the evolution and diversification of hominoids remains a hotly debated issue. Stable isotope analyses of fossil mammals that coexisted with the hominoids can provide insights into the environments of the hominoids and shed light on this debate. Here, we report results of stable carbon and oxygen isotope analyses of tooth enamel samples from a variety of Pleistocene mammals including pandas, deer, elephants, pigs, rhinos, and bovids from two hominoid fossil localities (Yuweng Cave and Baxian Cave) in South China. The enamel δ13C values indicate that most of the mammals living in the study area during the late Middle Pleistocene had C3-based diets but a small number of individuals consumed some C4 grasses. This indicates the presence of C4 plants in the region during the late Middle Pleistocene, most likely in patches of open areas in a predominantly forested environment. However, during the early Late Pleistocene, all of the mammals examined had C3-based diets, except one bovid and one panda that may have ingested small amounts of C4 plants. This indicates a dense forested environment with little C4 grasses during the early Late Pleistocene. Like the Early Pleistocene pygmy panda (Ailuropoda microta) from Yanliang Cave, the late Middle Pleistocene Ailuropoda baconi from Yuweng Cave and the early Late Pleistocene Ailuropoda melanoleuca from Baxian Cave had higher mean diet-δ13C values than the other co-occurring herbivores, indicating they preferred relatively open forest habitats and had more restricted diets compared to other mammals. The reconstructed mean paleo-meteoric water δ18Ow values are lower than the annual average δ18Ow value of modern precipitation in the region, suggesting that the climatic conditions during the times when these Pleistocene mammals were alive were colder and/or wetter than today. In addition, δ18O values of the obligate drinkers (pig, rhino, bovid) display an overall decreasing trend, accompanied by increased range of δ18O variations, from the Early Pleistocene to the early Late Pleistocene. This suggests that the regional climate became colder and/or wetter, with increased seasonality, from the Early Pleistocene to the early Late Pleistocene, likely related to intensified glaciation. The change in climate to colder conditions may be responsible for the extinction of the Gigantopithecus in this region.

Title: The Impact Of Domain-specific Experience On Chess Skill: Reanalysis Of A Key Study.
Creator: Burgoyne, Alexander P., Nye, Christopher D., Macnamara, Brooke N., Charness, Neil, Hambrick, David Z.
Abstract/Description: How important are training and other forms of domain-relevant experience in predicting individual differences in expertise? To answer this question, we used structural equation modeling to reanalyze data from a study of chess by Charness, Tuffiash, Krampe, Reingold, and Vasyukova (2005). Latent variables reflecting serious chess activity and formal instruction, along with a manifest variable indexing serious starting age, accounted for 63% of the variance in peak rating.

Show moreHow important are training and other forms of domain-relevant experience in predicting individual differences in expertise? To answer this question, we used structural equation modeling to reanalyze data from a study of chess by Charness, Tuffiash, Krampe, Reingold, and Vasyukova (2005). Latent variables reflecting serious chess activity and formal instruction, along with a manifest variable indexing serious starting age, accounted for 63% of the variance in peak rating. Serious starting age had a significant negative effect on peak rating (beta = -.15), even after we controlled for domain-specific experience, indicating an advantage for starting earlier. We also tested the prediction that formal instruction increases the effectiveness of serious study (Ericsson & Charness, 1994) using moderated regression. This claim was not supported. Overall, the results affirm that serious study and other forms of domain-specific experience are important pieces of the expertise puzzle, but other factors must matter too.

Show moreObjective: To investigate the effects of an online wellness intervention on college students' self-efficacy, intentions to seek help, general resilience and whether adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) act as a moderating variable. Participants: Three-hundred and eighty-two undergraduate students. Method: Students were assigned to two conditions: treatment or control. The treatment group participated in an online intervention designed to enhance student wellness, the control group did not. Both groups completed an online questionnaire. Results: Students exposed to the intervention reported greater self-efficacy, a higher likelihood to engage in self-help activities and greater intention to use campus resources. Additionally, among students with more ACEs, those who were exposed to the site were more likely to recommend resources. Conclusion: The online intervention presented here may be an effective tool to reduce barriers for students seeking help for mental health and may increase student wellness.

Title: What We Can (And Can't) Infer About Implicit Bias From Debiasing Experiments.

Show moreThe received view of implicit bias holds that it is associative and unreflective. Recently, the received view has been challenged. Some argue that implicit bias is not predicated on “any” associative process, but it is unreflective. These arguments rely, in part, on debiasing experiments. They proceed as follows. If implicit bias is associative and unreflective, then certain experimental manipulations cannot change implicitly biased behavior. However, these manipulations can change such behavior. So, implicit bias is not associative and unreflective. This paper finds philosophical and empirical problems with that argument. When the problems are solved, the conclusion is not quite right: implicit bias is not necessarily unreflective, but it seems to be associative. Further, the paper shows that even if legitimate non-associative interventions on implicit bias exist, then both the received view and its recent contender would be false. In their stead would be interactionism or minimalism about implicit bias.

Show morePurposeSchachter's externality theory posits a connection between the inability to eat according to internal cues and higher body mass index (BMI); however, related work has not investigated associations between body trust and the wide range of BMIs found in general samples. This study examined the association between body trust and BMI across levels of BMI to determine whether this relationship differed as a function of BMI level.MethodsParticipants were 534 adults (55.4% female), mean age 36 years, BMIs 15.13-67.90 (M=27.89, SD=7.25), recruited via MTurk. They completed self-report assessments of body trust, height, and weight. Quantile regression was utilized to estimate effects of body trust on BMI at five equidistant quantiles of BMI.ResultsOverall linear regression analyses indicated that body trust was significantly negatively associated with BMI. Quantile regression revealed a significant negative relationship at each quantile of BMI, and Wald tests indicated the association was significantly stronger at the 0.7 and 0.9 quantiles than at the 0.1, 0.3, and 0.5 quantiles, which did not differ.ConclusionsQuantile regression identified a stronger relationship between body trust and BMI at 0.7 and 0.9 quantiles than at 0.1, 0.3, and 0.5 quantiles of BMI. Results align with the externality hypothesis, which suggests those at higher weights experience difficulty using internal cues to guide eating. A weaker-than-expected association between body trust and low BMI may be due to restricted range (few low-BMI participants). Replication in eating disorder samples is merited.Level of evidenceLevel V, cross-sectional descriptive study.

Show moreObjective: The practice of self-care behaviors by patients with diabetes mellitus plays a vital role in achieving optimal glycaemic control. Previous Nigerian studies discussed how the knowledge of self-care behaviors among people with diabetes influences glycaemic control rather than the impact of these behaviors on glycaemic control. This study assesses the relationship between the practice of diabetes self-care behaviors and glycaemic control.Research Design and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among people with type 2 diabetes at the medical outpatient clinic of the hospital. Three hundred and sixteen participants were recruited over four months, however, due to incomplete data only 313 of these participants were analyzed. Data on respondents’ characteristics and level of self-care behaviors were obtained using a pretested questionnaire and Summary of Diabetic Self-Care Activities (SDSCA). A1C was used as an indicator of glycaemic control.Results: The proportion of the participants with “good” glycaemic control and “good” practice of self-care behaviors were 40.6% and 26.8% respectively. Female gender (P=0.002, OR=4.23), using only oral hypoglycaemic agents (P=0.029, OR=4.83), the absence of truncal obesity (P<0.001, OR=15.33), and “good” practice of self-care behavior (P<0.001, OR=5.86) were predictors of “good” glycaemic control.Conclusions: The proportion of patients with “good” glycaemic control and “good” practice of self-care behaviors were low. The predictors of glycaemic control in this study, which included medical and non-medical components of diabetes care, underscores the importance of a multi-pronged approach involving prescriptive practices by physicians and improved self-care behavioral practices by patients.

The purpose of this study was to describe SSPs characteristics and the perceived benefits and barriers to attendance from the perspective of SSPs leaders.Research Design and Methods: This study used a qualitative study design. In-depth interviews were conducted with SSPs leaders (n=9) in the Washington D.C. metro area. Individuals were recruited from community- and college-based programs. Using content analysis, interviews were analyzed for key themes.Results: Programs served different populations, leading to different discussion such as college-based groups discussing alcohol use while community-based groups discussing issues with their child’s diabetes. SSPs leaders described informational support, emotional support, and peer networking as benefits of program attendance while logistics, stigma, and avoidance of diabetes as barriers to program attendance.Conclusions: Exploring the characteristics of SSPs is essential to understanding their utilization and role in self-management and empowering individuals with T1DM. SSPs offer many benefits, and SSP attendance should be encouraged.

He argued, diabetes as a disease concept had transmuted, changing over time by society’s interference in its natural progression. And so began my transmutation, as I reflect upon my life, the life of a young man as a diabetic whose natural progression was altered less by the disease and more by society’s attempts to define and control it

Show morePoverty is linked with a host of negative outcomes. Approximately one-third of unmarried mothers and their children live in poverty in the United States. Public and private supports have the potential to mitigate the adverse effects of poverty; however, these supports may be unstable over time. The purpose of this study was to determine public and private safety net configurations of low-income mothers longitudinally and test linkages between safety net configurations and maternal psychological distress. Using longitudinal data from the Welfare, Children, Families project conducted in 1999, 2001, and 2005 (n = 1,987), results of multilevel models of change indicated that less than one-half of low-income mothers used public assistance and had private support at any one point. Safety net configurations and psychological distress levels changed over time with deterioration occurring more than improvement, and private safety net availability offered protection from psychological distress. These findings can be used to inform family support services and highlight the need to augment public assistance programs with services aimed to also address maternal psychological well-being and social support. Doing so can be a means of improving the public and private safety nets and outcomes of vulnerable families.

Show moreWe investigated variability in the C:234Th ratio of sinking particles and its relationship to changing water column characteristics and plankton ecological dynamics during 29 Lagrangian experiments conducted on six cruises of the California Current Ecosystem Long-Term Ecological Research (CCE-LTER) Program. C:234Th ratios of sinking particles collected by a surface-tethered sediment trap (C:234ThST) varied from 2.3 to 20.5 μmol C dpm−1 over a depth range of 47–150 m. C:234ThST was significantly greater (by a factor of 1.8) than C:234Th ratios of suspended >51-μm particles collected in the same water parcels with in situ pumps. C:234Th ratios of large (>200-μm) sinking particles also exceeded those of smaller sinking particles. C:234ThST decreased with depth from the base of the euphotic zone through the upper twilight zone. C:234ThST was positively correlated with several indices of ecosystem productivity including particulate organic carbon (POC) and chlorophyll (Chl) concentrations, mesozooplankton biomass, and the fraction of Chl >20-μm. Principal component analysis and multiple linear regression suggested that decaying phytoplankton blooms exhibited higher C:234ThST than actively growing blooms at similar biomass levels. C:234ThST was positively correlated with indices of the fractional contribution of fecal pellets in sediment traps when the proportion of fecal pellets was low in the traps, likely because of a correlation between mesozooplankton biomass and other indices of ecosystem productivity. However, when fecal pellets were a more important component of sinking material, C:234ThST decreased with increasing fecal pellet content. C:234ThST was also positively correlated with the Si:C ratio of sinking particles. Across the dataset (and across depths) a strong correlation was found between C:234ThST and the ratio of vertically-integrated POC to vertically-integrated total water column 234Th (vC:234Thtot). A mechanistic one-layer, two-box model of thorium sorption and desorption was invoked to explain this correlation. Two empirical models (one using vC:234Thtot; one using depth and vertically-integrated Chl) were developed to predict C:234Th ratios in this coastal upwelling biome. The former regression (log10(C:234ThST) = 0.43 × log10(vC:234Thtot) + 0.53) was found to also be a reasonable predictor for C:234ThST from diverse regions including the Southern Ocean, Sargasso Sea, Subarctic North Pacific, and Eastern Tropical North Pacific.
