What is the Threshold of Teachers' Recognition and Report of Concerns About Anxiety and Depression in Students? An Exploratory Study With Teachers of Adolescents in Regional Australia

Abstract Introduction: Anxiety and depression in adolescence is prevalent but often unrecognised and untreated. This can lead to serious disorders in later life. This study explored how teachers recognise anxiety and depression in secondary school students and act on their concerns. Method: Twenty teachers from four secondary colleges in regional Victoria, Australia were interviewed regarding their experiences. In-depth interviews were analysed using descriptive thematic analysis in order to understand how teachers respond to this issue. Results: Teachers' recognition of mental health problems in students and the threshold for reporting their concerns was subjective and not based on any formal knowledge of how to identify anxiety or depression risk factors in students. Years of teaching experience was not associated with increased knowledge of mental health problems in students. Time pressures and lack of resources in student wellbeing teams were barriers to teachers reporting their concerns about students. Conclusion: Education bodies and teaching universities responsible for training teachers and providing ongoing professional learning need to ensure that mental health training is part of every teacher's core skill set, so that teachers can confidently promote mental wellbeing, identify emerging mental health problems, know how to facilitate access to more specialist intervention where required and contribute effectively to follow-up support.
Post-modernism as the decadence of the social democratic state

In this paper it is argued that the corresponding rise of post-modernism and the triumph of neo-liberalism are not only not accidental, the triumph of neo-liberalism has been facilitated by post-modernism. Post-modernism has been primarily directed not against mainstream modernism, the modernism of Hobbes, Smith, Darwin and social Darwinism, but against the radical modernist quest for justice and emancipation with its roots in German thought. The Social Democratic State, the principles of which, it is here argued, were articulated by Hegel, was a partial triumph of this radical modernism, realising a higher level of reciprocal recognition and overcoming much of the brutality of the Liberal State. Post-modernism is shown to be a manifestation of the decadence of the Social Democratic State, characterised by the disintegration of cognitive and ethical developments which have been the condition for people to form communities based on reciprocal recognition. In this regard it parallels the decadence which too.
Sparsity considerations in Dixon resultants

New results relating the sparsity of nonhomogeneous polynomial systems and computation of their projection operator (a non-trivial multiple of the multivariate resultant) using Dixon’s method are developed. It is demonstrated that Dixon’s method of computing resultants, despite being classical, implicitly exploits the sparse structure of input polynomials. It is proved that the size of the Dixon matrix, and the complexity of computing the resultant using Dixon’s method is not determined by the total degree of the polynomial system, but rather by the structure of the Newton polytopes of the polynomial system. An exact formula for the size of the Dixon matrix of unmized polynomial systems is derived in terms of their Newton polytopes. This relationship is exploited to tightly bound the size of the Dixon matrices of multi-homogeneous polynomial systems and also to devise an algorithm for constructing their Dixon matrices efficiently using dense polynomial interpolation. This work links the classical Dixon formulation (developed in 1908) to the modern line of sparsity analysis based on Newton polytopes.
The superstitions in public libraries: alive and well?

Social reformers in the nineteenth century thought that superstitions would gradually die out. Institutions of formal education, such as schools and universities, promoted progress through spreading positivistic and utilitarian ideas. Institutions of informal education, including public libraries and the press, spread the same ideas. The edifice of civilisation was firmly supported by three pillars: the state, science and institutionalised religion. At the beginning of the twenty first century, the social landscape has greatly changed. Science is treated with suspicion, and the state and religion have been weakened. Superstitions are alive and well, and they have even found their way to public libraries. Is the library's noble goal of the dissemination of knowledge in danger of being replaced by the diffusion of falsehood?
What Is the General Will

What is the general will? In this essay, I propose a simple and straightforward answer. Rousseau's general will, I shall argue, is the totality of unrescinded decisions made by a community-that is, of an association of individuals contractually constituted as a "moral and collective body"-when its deliberation is subject to certain constraints. ' The interpretation of Rousseau that I shall develop in support of this answer will be partial in various respects. Most importantly, perhaps, the textual basis of my discussion will be confined to the Social Contract.2 Since this is the critical text for any account of the general will, I shall assume that this restriction in focus is not unreasonable. Furthermore, I shall not pay any attention either to the immediate historical context in which Rousseau wrote or to his location in a longer tradition of theorizing about a general will.3
Prader‐Willi syndrome and a bisatellited derivative of chromosome 15

A de novo bisatellited derivative of chromosome 15, inv dup (15) (pter→q11 or 12::p11 or q11 or 12 →pter), was identified by multiple banding techniques in a patient with Prader‐Willi syndrome. A comparison of familial no. 15 short arm polymorphisms indicated that the extra chromosome was the result of a non‐sister chromatid exchange between the paternal no. 15 homologs prior to or during meiosis.
Role of the electrostatic loop charged residues in Cu, Zn superoxide dismutase

We have expressed and characterized a mutant of Xenopus laevis Cu, Zn superoxide dismutase in which four highly conserved charged residues belonging to the electrostatic loop have been replaced by neutral side chains: Lys120 → Leu, Asp130 → Gln, Glu131 → Gln, and Lys134 → Thr. At low ionic strength, the mutant enzyme is one of the fastest superoxide dismutases ever assayed (k = 6. 7 × 109 M−1 s−1, at pH 7 and μ = 0. 02 M). Brownian dynamics simulations give rise to identical enzyme‐substrate association rates for both wild‐type and mutant enzymes, ruling out the possibility that enhancement of the activity is due to pure electrostatic factors. Comparative analysis of the experimental catalytic rate of the quadruple and single mutants reveals the nonadditivity of the mutation effects, indicating that the hyperefficiency of the mutant is due to a decrease of the energy barrier and/or to an alternative pathway for the diffusion of superoxide within the active site channel. At physiological ionic strength the catalytic rate of the mutant at neutral pH is similar to that of the wild‐type enzyme as it is to the catalytic rate pH dependence. Moreover, mutation effects are additive. These results show that, at physiological salt conditions, electrostatic loop charged residues do not influence the diffusion pathway of the substrate and, if concomitantly neutralized, are not essential for high catalytic efficiency of the enzyme, pointing out the role of the metal cluster and of the invariant Arg141 in determining the local electrostatic forces facilitating the diffusion of the substrate towards the active site.
Effect of eccentric and inconsistent fixation on retinal optical coherence tomography measures.

OBJECTIVE To assess the relative stabilities of optical coherence tomography (OCT)-based retinal volume and central foveal thickness measurements in the setting of eccentric or inconsistent fixation. METHODS Ten healthy right eyes underwent multiple macular OCT centered at fixation. To model the effect of eccentric or inconsistent fixation, OCT was repeated with scan centers precisely shifted by 0.50, 1.00, and 1.50 mm in each of 4 directions. At each scan location, retinal volumes within a series of radii of the scan center, as well as central foveal thickness, were calculated. The main outcome measure was the percentage effect of decentered scanning on each OCT-based variable. RESULTS Central foveal thickness was the variable most affected in this model of eccentric and inconsistent fixation. This variable demonstrated changes from baseline-centered scans of up to 69.4%. Retinal volumes within a radii of the scan center measuring 1.11 mm or greater were least affected by decentered scanning, demonstrating maximum changes from baseline-centered scans of only 15.7% (P<.001 vs foveal thickness). CONCLUSION Optical coherence tomography-based retinal volume quantification provides a more stable measure than foveal thickness in the setting of eccentric or inconsistent fixation as may occur in the setting of macular pathologic conditions.
Disclosure of Deception by Debriefed Subjects: Another Look

This study was concerned with the problem of disclosure of deception procedures by debriefed undergraduate subjects. A peer-counseling experimental situation using a deception procedure was used in the study. Subjects (229 males and 296 females) who had been debriefed and asked not to disclose any information about the research were contacted by telephone. The findings suggest that subjects who agreed to maintain confidentiality tended less frequently to disclose information than control subjects. The sex of the subject was not associated with the disclosure of information. Finally, the sex of the caller was not related to the revealing of information.
Agreement between student expectations, experiences and actual objectives of practicals in the natural sciences at the Open university of The Netherlands

The research reported on here is concerned with the (mis)conceptions of students with respect to the objectives which can be achieved by different types of practicals. Students taking part in four different Natural Science practicals were questioned prior to the practical as to the objectives they anticipated encountering. Three of the practicals were traditional laboratory practicals, one was an interactive videodisc practical. These same students were questioned subsequent to the completion of the practicals as to the objectives they felt they encountered. The expectations and experiences of the students were compared with the objectives that experts said were actually present in the practicals. The most important conclusion which can be drawn from this research is that expectations of students with respect to the objectives of what they are about to study unequivocally influence what they encounter, independent of what actually is present. Specifically the findings are: what is anticipated significantl.
Exit from the Golgi Is Required for the Expansion of the Autophagosomal Phagophore in Yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae

The delivery of proteins and organelles to the vacuole by autophagy involves membrane rearrangements that result in the formation of autophagosomes. We have investigated the role of the Golgi in autophagy and found that, in yeast, this organelle plays a crucial role in supplying lipid bilayers necessary for autophagosome biogenesis.
Why do Firms Co-operate for Innovation? - A comparison of Austrian and Finnish CIS 3 results

This paper analyses differences in the cooperative behaviour of innovative firms in Finland and Austria. We use data from the third wave of the Community Innovation Survey (CIS3). Descriptive statistics indicate that the rate of innovators is quite similar in Austria and Finland, while the number of cooperating enterprises is considerably higher in Finland. Econometric analysis reveals that a number of factors that determine cooperative arrangements are only significant in one or the other country. We conclude that cooperative behaviour in the two countries is much more dependent on national factors and much deeper rooted in the underlying innovation systems than the existing literature may assume.
Don't Take it Personally: Exploring Cognitive Conflict as a Mediator of Affective Conflict

Research has sought to explain the multi-dimensionality of conflict and its paradoxical effects on decision making (Amason, 1996; DeDreu and Weingart, 2003; Jehn, 1995). The primary prescription to emerge from this work has been for teams to seek the benefits of cognitive (task) conflict while simultaneously avoiding the costs of affective (emotional) conflict. The problem is that these two types of conflict often occur together and researchers have offered few explanations as to why this happens or guidance as to how it can be avoided. In this paper, we provide empirical evidence that cognitive conflict can contribute to affective conflict. As a result, by encouraging cognitive conflict, teams may inadvertently provoke affective conflict. We provide evidence that behavioural integration can mitigate this tendency.

Understanding Computation of Impulse Response in Microwave Software Tools

In modern microwave engineering curricula, the introduction of the many new topics in microwave industrial development, or of software tools for design and simulation, sometimes results in students having an inadequate understanding of the fundamental theory. The terminology for and the explanation of algorithms for calculating impulse response in microwave software tools are not always beginner-oriented and might be over-sophisticated for undergraduate students. This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of the impulse response computation from the viewpoint of microwave engineering education. A new method of teaching the impulse response computation is presented. The new method should help students to gain a thorough understanding of how to compute the impulse response either in the time domain or from frequency response samples.

Inhibition of glutamine‐dependent autophagy increases t‐PA production in CHO Cell fed‐batch processes

Understanding the cellular responses caused by metabolic stress is crucial for the design of robust fed‐batch bioprocesses that maximize the expression of recombinant proteins. Chinese hamster ovary cells were investigated in chemically defined, serum‐free cultures yielding 107 cells/mL and up to 500 mg/L recombinant tissue‐plasminogen activator (t‐PA). Upon glutamine depletion increased autophagosome formation and autophagic flux were observed, along with decreased proliferation and high viability. Higher lysosomal levels correlated with decreased productivity. Chemical inhibition of autophagy with 3‐methyl adenine (3‐MA) increased the t‐PA yield by 2.8‐fold. Autophagy‐related MAP1LC3 and LAMP2 mRNA levels increased continuously in all cultures. Analysis of protein quality revealed that 3‐MA treatment did not alter glycan antennarity while increasing fucosylation, galactosylation, and sialylation. Taken together, these findings indicate that inhibition of autophagy can considerably increase the yield of biotechnology fed‐batch processes, without compromising the glycosylation capacity of cells. Monitoring or genetic engineering of autophagy provides novel avenues to improve the performance of cell culture‐based recombinant protein production. Biotechnol.

What makes an image memorable?

When glancing at a magazine, or browsing the Internet, we are continuously being exposed to photographs. Despite of this overflow of visual information, humans are extremely good at remembering thousands of pictures along with some of their visual details. But not all images are equal in memory. Some stitch to our minds, and other are forgotten. In this paper we focus on the problem of predicting how memorable an image will be. We show that memorability is a stable property of an image that is shared across different viewers. We introduce a database for which we have measured the probability that each picture will be remembered after a single view. We analyze image features and labels that contribute to making an image memorable, and we train a predictor based on global image descriptors. We find that predicting image memorability is a task that can be addressed with current computer vision techniques. Whereas making memorable images is a challenging task in visualization and photography, this work is a first attempt to quantify this useful quality of images.
Religion and social capital: evidence from European countries

This exploratory study investigates how various aspects related to religion are related to different dimensions of social capital, based on the latest data from the European Values Study. The study intends to include as many religion-related variables as possible and to cover all main dimensions of social capital. In addition to regression analysis, cluster analysis is used for further exploration of religious composition and its consequences for social capital. The broadest conclusions are that religion is highly related to social capital, but the cognitive dimensions of social capital seem to have a closer relationship with social capital than the structural dimensions. Also, many relationships may be overlooked if not enough different religion-related aspects and social capital dimensions are analysed.
Communicating Food Risks in an Era of Growing Public Distrust: Three Case Studies

The communication and regulation of risk has changed significantly over the past 30 years in Europe and to a noticeable but lesser extent in the United States. In Europe, this is partly due to a series of regulatory mishaps, ranging from mad cow disease in the United Kingdom to contamination of the blood supply in France. In the United States, general public confidence in the American government has been gradually declining for more than three decades, driven by a mix of cultural and political conflicts like negative political advertising, a corrosive news media, and cuts in regulatory budgets. While the former approach is based on an objective assessment of the risk, the latter is driven more by the perception of the risk, consumer sentiment, political will, and sectoral advocacy. In this article, the author examines three U.S.‐based food case studies (acrylamide, bisphenol A, and artificial food colorings) where regulations at the local and state levels are increasingly being based on perceived risk advocacy rather than on the most effective response to the risk, be it to food safety or public health, as defined by regulatory interpretation of existing data. In the final section, the author puts forward a series of recommendations for how U.S.‐based regulators can best handle those situations where the perceived risk is markedly different from the fact‐based risk, such as strengthening the communication departments of food regulatory agencies, training officials in risk communication, and working more proactively with neutral third‐party experts.
Are Emojis Predictable?

Emojis are ideograms which are naturally combined with plain text to visually complement or condense the meaning of a message. Despite being widely used in social media, their underlying semantics have received little attention from a Natural Language Processing standpoint. In this paper, we investigate the relation between words and emojis, studying the novel task of predicting which emojis are evoked by text-based tweet messages. We train several models based on Long Short-Term Memory networks (LSTMs) in this task. Our experimental results show that our neural model outperforms a baseline as well as humans solving the same task, suggesting that computational models are able to better capture the underlying semantics of emojis.
Effects of benevolence, integrity, and ability on trust‐in‐supervisor

Purpose – This study aimed to examine the predictive effects of trustworthiness attributes (i.e. benevolence, integrity, and ability) on trust‐in‐supervisor.Design/methodology/approach – A field survey using a structured questionnaire was used to gather data from 107 white‐collar employees from diverse organizations in Malaysia. The data were analysed using hierarchical multiple regression analysis.Findings – The results showed that perceptions of supervisor benevolence, integrity, and ability predicted trust‐in‐supervisor both directly and interactively. Further analysis revealed that integrity and ability interacted in a compensatory manner to predict trust‐in‐supervisor when benevolence was high but not when it was low.Research limitations/implications – Study limitations include the use of self‐report cross‐sectional data. The findings underscore the importance of looking beyond statistical models that test only for main and two‐way interaction effects in research examining trustworthiness attributes.
