An experimental approach to the study of learned aggression

The sensory contact technique increases aggressiveness in male mice and allows aggressive types of behavior to be formed as a result of the repeated experience of victories in daily agonistic confrontations. Some behavioral domains confirm the development of learned aggression in males similar to those in humans. The features are repeated experience of aggression reinforced by victories; elements of learned behavior after periods of confrontation; intent, measured by increase of the aggressive motivation prior to agonistic confrontation; and decreased emotionality, estimated by parameters of open-field behavior. Relevant situation provokes increases in aggression (boundary aggression). This review summarizes data on the influence of positive fighting experience in daily intermale confrontations on the behavior, neurochemistry, and physiology of aggressive mice (winners). This sort of experience changes many characteristics in individual and social behaviors, these having been estimated in different tests and in varied situations. Some physiological parameters are also changed in the winners. Neurochemical data confirm the activation of brain dopaminergic systems and functional inhibition of serotonergic system in winners under the influence of the repeated experience of aggression. The expression of the neurochemical and behavioral changes observed in winners has been found to depend on the mouse strain and on the duration of their agonistic confrontations. Aggr.

A new 12-gene diagnostic biomarker signature of melanoma revealed by integrated microarray analysis

Genome-wide microarray technology has facilitated the systematic discovery of diagnostic biomarkers of cancers and other pathologies. However, meta-analyses of published arrays often uncover significant inconsistencies that hinder advances in clinical practice. Here we present an integrated microarray analysis framework, based on a genome-wide relative significance (GWRS) and genome-wide global significance (GWGS) model. When applied to five microarray datasets on melanoma published between 2000 and 2011, this method revealed a new signature of 200 genes. When these were linked to so-called ‘melanoma driver’ genes involved in MAPK, Ca2+, and WNT signaling pathways we were able to produce a new 12-gene diagnostic biomarker signature for melanoma (i.e., EGFR, FGFR2, FGFR3, IL8, PTPRF, TNC, CXCL13, COL11A1, CHP2, SHC4, PPP2R2C, and WNT4). We have begun to experimentally validate a subset of these genes involved in MAPK signaling at the protein level, including CXCL13, COL11A1, PTPRF and SHC4 and found these to be over-expressed in metastatic and primary melanoma cells in vitro and in situ compared to melanocytes cultured from healthy skin epidermis and normal healthy human skin. While SHC4 has been reported previously to be associated to melanoma, this is the first time CXCL13, COL11A1, and PTPRF have been associated with melanoma on experimental validation. Our computational evaluation indicates that this 12-gene biomarker signature achieves excellent diagnostic power in distinguishing metastatic melanoma from normal skin and benign nevus. Further experimental validation of the role of these 12 genes in a new signaling network may provide new insights into the underlying biological mechanisms driving the progression of melanoma.
Thriving at work—A diary study

Summary The present diary study examines how employees thrive at work in response to resources (i.e., positive meaning, relational resources, and knowledge). Thriving is conceptualized as the joint experience of vitality and learning. A total of 121 employees working in the social services sector responded to three daily surveys (in the morning, at lunchtime, and at the end of the work day) for a period of ! ve work days. Intra-individual analyses (hierarchical linear modeling) revealed that on days when employees experience positive meaning at work in the morning, they feel more vital at the end of the work day and have a higher sense of learning. Work behaviors such as task focus and exploration mediated the relation between positive meaning and both components of thriving. Copyright # 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
State-Level Correlates of Unassisted Quit Attempts and Success.

BACKGROUND Although the majority of smokers attempting to quit do so without assistance, research in the area of unassisted quit behaviors is limited. The aim of this study was to investigate whether population-level policies and programs, such as smoke-free air policies and tobacco control programs, contribute to unassisted quit attempts and cessation. METHODS The current study used the 2003 Tobacco Use Supplement to the Current Population Survey (TUS-CPS) special Cessation Supplement (CS) to estimate unassisted quit attempt and success rates by state. Linear regression was used to examine whether state-level unassisted quit attempt and success rates were related to state-level policies and social norms. State-level factors investigated were tobacco control program funding, tobacco taxes, smoke-free air policies, state anti-smoking sentiment and recent change in smoking prevalence. RESULTS Consistent with previous studies, this study found the majority of smokers who attempted to quit did so without assistance. This study also found unassisted quit attempt rates were higher than assisted attempt rates in every state and DC. Additionally, unassisted quit success rates were higher than assisted quit success rates in most states; however, some states had higher assisted quit success rates. State-level factors associated with unassisted quit attempt rates included anti-smoking sentiment and tobacco taxes; however, no significant relationships were uncovered between unassisted quit success rates and state-level factors. CONCLUSIONS These results suggest that state-level factors may be more important in motivating smokers to attempt quitting, and other individual factors or unmeasured state factors may be related to quit success.
Christianity and Dogmatism among Undergraduate Students

Religion is often accused of being associated with or promoting dogmatic attitudes. The present study conducted among 554 undergraduate students, who completed both the Francis Scale of Attitude toward Christianity and the Troldale and Powell Dogmatism Scale, failed to find any empirical support for this accusation. Attitude toward Christianity and dogmatism were shown to be unrelated constructs.
Repetitive learning model predictive control: An autonomous racing example

We propose an optimization based, data-driven framework to design controllers for repetitive tasks. The proposed framework builds on previous work of Learning Model Predictive Control and focuses on problems where the terminal condition of one iteration is the initial condition of the next iteration. A terminal cost and a sampled safe set are learned from data to guarantee recursive feasibility and non-decreasing performance cost at each iteration. The proposed control logic is tested on an autonomous racing example, where the vehicle dynamics are identified online. Experimental results on a 1:10 scale RC car illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
Uncertainty enhances the preference for narcissistic leaders

Narcissistic leaders present us with an interesting paradox, because they have positive as well as negative characteristics. As such, we argue that the nature of the context determines how suitable narcissists are perceived to be as leaders. Here we propose that a specific contextual factor, that is, uncertainty, increases the preference for narcissists as leaders. As an initial test of this prediction, the first study showed that narcissistic characteristics were evaluated as more desirable in a leader in an uncertain context rather than a certain context. In Studies 2 and 3, we further hypothesized and found that high narcissists are chosen as leaders more often than low narcissists, especially in uncertain (rather than certain) contexts. In all of the studies, individuals were shown to be aware of the negative features of narcissistic leaders, such as arrogance and exploitativeness, but chose them as leaders in times of uncertainty, regardless. Thus, a narcissistic leader is perceived as someone who can help reduce individual uncertainty. These results reveal the importance of contextual uncertainty in understanding the allure of narcissistic leaders. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
FOMTrace: Interactive Video Segmentation By Image Graphs and Fuzzy Object Models

Common users have changed from mere consumers to active producers of multimedia data content. Video editing plays an important role in this scenario, calling for simple segmentation tools that can handle fast-moving and deformable video objects with possible occlusions, color similarities with the background, among other challenges. We present an interactive video segmentation method, named FOMTrace, which addresses the problem in an effective and efficient way. From a user-provided object mask in a first frame, the method performs semi-automatic video segmentation on a spatiotemporal superpixel-graph, and then estimates a Fuzzy Object Model (FOM), which refines segmentation of the second frame by constraining delineation on a pixel-graph within a region where the object's boundary is expected to be. The user can correct/accept the refined object mask in the second frame, which is then similarly used to improve the spatiotemporal video segmentation of the remaining frames. Both steps are repeated alternately, within interactive response times, until the segmentation refinement of the final frame is accepted by the user. Extensive experiments demonstrate FOMTrace's ability for tracing objects in comparison with state-of-the-art approaches for interactive video segmentation, supervised, and unsupervised object tracking.
On Regular Fusible Modules

In this article, we introduce the notion of regular fusible modules. Let $R$ be a ring with an identity and $M$ an $R$-module. An element $0\neq m\in M$ is said to be regular fusible if there exists $r\in R$, a non zero-divisor of $M$, such that $mr$ can be written as the sum of a torsion element and a torsion free element in $M$. $M$ is called regular fusible if every nonzero element of $M$ is regular fusible. We characterize regular fusible modules in terms of fusible modules. In addition, we show that a regular fusible module over a right duo ring is reduced and nonsingular. Moreover, we study the regular fusible property under Cartesian product, trivial extension ring, and module of a fractions. Also, we characterize division rings in terms of fusible modules.
Teaching Recess

This article describes an intervention using positive behavior support strategies to reduce behavioral incidences occurring during recess. The intervention was developed and implemented by an elementary school Effective Behavior Support team. The intervention was based on a model that focuses on (a) data-based decision making, (b) systems-oriented school improvement goals, and (c) team-driven management as the critical features of the intervention design. Available data suggest that the intervention reduced the number of behavioral incidences, improved the overall school climate, and increased staff satisfaction.
Integrating the moderation effect of entrepreneurial qualities into the TAM model

Perceived usefulness and ease of use are important constructs in the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), which have been generally linked to the usage of technologies-directly and indirectly. However, unique entrepreneur's traits such as innovativeness and perseverance could have different implications on these relationships. This research examines the moderation effect of these traits namely, innovativeness and perseverance on the relationship between perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use and technology usage by entrepreneurs. Moreover, there the study controlled for potential confounding of demographic variables, and the results show that the established relationships were hardly confounded by demography. Findings and implications are discussed.
Relationship between objective and subjective quality of life measures

Introduction Arguments exist on the agreement between objective and subjective Qol construct measures. This study determined the relationship between the objective and subjective Qol constructs and the socio-demographic correlates of Qol. Methods Data was collected using the fifth edition of the Comprehensive Qol (Adult) questionnaire from 10 tertiary health institutions located in 8 cities in Nigeria. The study involved 191 (71 patients and 120 apparently healthy) participants. Data was analyzed using Spearman's Correlation Coefficient, Kruskal-Wallis, Mann-Whitney-U test and McNemar's test. Results Participants were aged 59.9±11.5 with objective and subjective Qol scores of 71.2±9.2 and 49.2±12.1. There was no significant correlation between objective and subjective Qol scores (p>0.05). None of age, gender, occupational status, marital status or educational attainment had any significant effect (p>0.05) on Qol. Conclusion It was concluded that no significant relationship exists between subjective and objective Qol measures. Therefore, each axis should be considered to reflect the true state of individual Qol.
Dynamic Explanation Emphasis in Human-XAI Interaction with Communication Robot

Communication robots have the potential to contribute to effective human-XAI interaction as an interface that goes beyond textual or graphical explanations. One of their strengths is that they can use physical and vocal expressions to add detailed nuances to explanations. However, it is not clear how a robot can apply such expressions, or in particular, how we can develop a strategy to adaptively use such expressions depending on the task and user in dynamic interactions. To address this question, this paper proposes DynEmph, a method for a communication robot to decide where to emphasize XAI-generated explanations with physical expressions. It predicts the effect of emphasizing certain points on a user and aims to minimize the expected difference between predicted user decisions and AI-suggested ones. DynEmph features a strategy for deciding where to emphasize in a data-driven manner, relieving engineers from the need to manually design a strategy. We further conducted experiments to investigate how emphasis selection strategies affect the performance of user decisions. The results suggest that, while a naive strategy (emphasizing explanations for an AI's most probable class) does not necessarily work better, DynEmph effectively guides users to better decisions under the condition that the performance of the AI suggestion is high.
Factors associated with self-rated health status among university students from 26 low, middle and high income countries

The aim of this study was to investigate self-reported health status and associated factors in low, middle and high income countries. Using anonymous questionnaires, data were collected in a cross-sectional survey from 19 811 undergraduate university students (mean age=20.8, SD=2.8) from 27 universities in 26 countries across Asia, Africa and the Americas. Results indicate that the overall self-rated health status score was 3.0 (range 1–5). Generally, university students from study countries of the Caribbean, South America and North Africa, Near East and Central Asia had greater self-rated health status scores than students from study countries in Asia. In multivariate stepwise linear regression analysis, older age, coming from an upper middle income or high income country, higher personal control, better mental health (not having sleep problems, and having no or fewer PTSD symptoms), and having normal weight predicted better self-rated health status. Paradoxically, a poor healthy dietary score and low physical activity were also associated with better self-rated health status. In comparing self-rated health status across a large sample of students across many countries, associations were found between sociodemographic, psycho-social and health related variables and self-rated health status.
Immunization in India: contribution of Integrated Child Development Services scheme to expanded programme of immunization.

A study was carried out to find out the impact of Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) scheme delivering nutrition health and education services to preschool children pregnant women and lactating mothers on the expanded program of immunization (EPI). The data presented in this paper shows the acceleration of EPI by about 100% in 3-5 year old ICDS projects and 125% in 8 year old ICDS projects. The ICDS model has proved successful in achieving the objectives of EPI and can be utilized to achieve the goals of universal immunization by 1990 in India. Village workers perform the actual immunizations. They also list the children motivate family members for acceptance of immunization arrange for assembly of the children and pregnant mothers when health teams visit the village for immunization do follow-up and management of the immunized person and assist in survey and monitoring of the immunization along with the other activities for child development. Comparison was made between data collected in 1976 1979 and 1985 on immunization coverage in areas without ICDS projects areas with such projects and a sample house-to-house study of mothers knowledge attitude and practice of immunization in 4 rural ICDS projects. For EPI projects without ICDS coverage in 1985 for all the vaccines in the program is 25%. However this is an improvement over 1976 and 1979 figures. In the ICDS projects started in 1976 coverage by 1985 had reached approximately 50%. Comparing ICDS immunization status with the whole district (20-30% ICDS projects) reveals the ICDS implemented population has 68-73.3% better coverage for different vaccines. A high proportion of mothers (54.7-86.7%) in 2 ICDS projects in Northern India were fully aware of immunization while a higher proportion (71-85%) had had their children immunized. (authors modified)
Affordances and Constraints of Using the Socio-Political Debate for Authentic Summative Assessment

This article reports from an empirical study on the affordances and constraints for using staged socio-political debates for authentic summative assessment of scientific literacy. The article focuses on conditions for student participation and what purposes emerge in student interaction in a socio-political debate. As part of the research project, a socio-political debate was designed for assessing student competences of scientific literacy in classroom practices. The debate centred on a fictive case about a lake where a decline in the yield of fish had been established. The students were assigned the task of participating in the debate from appointed roles as different stakeholders. Data were collected with video recordings of the enacted student debates. Student participation was analysed with the theoretical framework of communities of practice. The results show that multiple conflicting purposes of the socio-political debate as an assessment task emerged. The emergent purposes were (1) putting scientific knowledge on display versus staying true to one's role, (2) putting scientific knowledge on display versus expressing social responsibility, (3) putting scientific knowledge on display versus winning the debate, and (4) using sources tactically versus using sources critically. As these purposes emerged in classroom practice, tensions between different ways of enacting participation in the debates became manifest. Based on these findings, this article discusses the affordances and constraints for using a socio-political debate for classroom-based assessment of scientific literacy and argumentation in terms of validity, reliability and affordability.
