Forgiveness as a Mediator Between Post Divorce Cognitive Processes and Coparenting Quality

Abstract This study investigated the mediating role of forgiveness between the predictor variables of causal attributions and offense severity judgments and the outcome variable, quality coparenting post divorce. A mailed survey sent to a sample of 585 separated/divorced parents with minor aged children who had attended a brief educational seminar resulted in a final sample of 135 respondents. The significant negative relationship between cause attributed to the former partner (r = -.28, p < .01) and quality coparenting became nonsignificant (Beta = -.06, p = .50) when forgiveness was introduced. The results also indicated that greater forgiveness was negatively related to cause attributed to the former partner (r = -.34, p < .001) and less severe offense judgments (r = -.22, p < .01). A strong positive relationship was found between forgiveness and quality coparenting (r = .53, p < .001). The results have implications for practice, advocacy, and education. Forgiveness represents one potentially useful focus of intervention for making a transition towards a quality coparenting relationship.
Learning to mark: exemplars, dialogue and participation in assessment communities

The problems of shifting from norm-referenced assessment to criterion-referenced assessment have been identified by several scholars in recent years. These important critiques touch on a number of areas, but neglect a key question about how assessors learn to accomplish what Shay calls a ‘socially situated interpretive act'. Research that does exist tends to focus on salaried, full-time academics. This overlooks the heterogeneity of the academic labour force in higher education and the substantial contribution made by contract (hourly-paid) lecturers, particularly in applied disciplines such as Business and Management. This study explores how nine newcomers to a UK Business School – including salaried and contract staff – attempt to understand local assessment practice. We use a situated learning lens to analyse their diary entries and interviews about their experiences of learning to mark. Drawing on scholars such as Sadler, we examine the suggestion that exemplars are important for newcomers coming to understand local assessment practice. We argue for the fundamental importance of dialogue about exemplars and other aspects of practice, both to develop inter-subject understandings of assessment ‘anchor points' and also to foster among newcomers (and especially contract lecturers) a greater sense of participating in, and being valued by, the local assessment community.
Validity of a Job-Exposure Matrix for Psychosocial Job Stressors: Results from the Household Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia Survey

Introduction A Job Exposure Matrix (JEM) for psychosocial job stressors allows assessment of these exposures at a population level. JEMs are particularly useful in situations when information on psychosocial job stressors were not collected individually and can help eliminate the biases that may be present in individual self-report accounts. This research paper describes the development of a JEM in the Australian context. Methods The Household Income Labour Dynamics in Australia (HILDA) survey was used to construct a JEM for job control, job demands and complexity, job insecurity, and fairness of pay. Population median values of these variables for all employed people (n = 20,428) were used to define individual exposures across the period 2001 to 2012. The JEM was calculated for the Australian and New Zealand Standard Classification of Occupations (ANZSCO) at the four-digit level, which represents 358 occupations. Both continuous and binary exposures to job stressors were calculated at the 4-digit level. We assessed concordance between the JEM-assigned and individually-reported exposures using the Kappa statistic, sensitivity and specificity assessments. We conducted regression analysis using mental health as an outcome measure. Results Kappa statistics indicate good agreement between individually-reported and JEM-assigned dichotomous measures for job demands and control, and moderate agreement for job insecurity and fairness of pay. Job control, job demands and security had the highest sensitivity, while specificity was relatively high for the four exposures. Regression analysis shows that most individually reported and JEM measures were significantly associated with mental health, and individually-reported exposures produced much stronger effects on mental health than the JEM-assigned exposures. Discussion These JEM-based estimates of stressors exposure provide a conservative proxy for individual-level data, and can be applied to a range of health and organisational outcomes.

Personal factors in organizational identification.

This is a study of the personal dynamics of the process of organizational identification in the U.S. Forest Service, an organization noted for the high degree of organizational identification of its members. It was hypothesized and found that identification increased as a function of time and commitment to a pivotal organizational goal, public service. Organizational position, with tenure held constant, did not relate to identification. It was further found that several personal characteristics suggestive of a service orientation were related to identification. It was also hypothesized and found that identification is related to the member's higherorder need satisfactions. There appears to be a process whereby (1) serviceoriented individuals are attracted to and recruited by the Forest Service, (2) service-oriented members are likely to identify strongly with the Service, and (3) this identification results in intrinsic need satisfactions.
Electro-optic probing of microwave fields using a wavelength-tunable modulation depth

A design for an electro-optic microwave-field-mapping system that eliminates the need for the polarizer, analyzer and quarter-wave retarder in its optical-probe-beam path, while also exhibiting less laser-induced noise and an enhanced signal-to-noise ratio as compared to conventional single- or double-pass electro-optic intensity modulators, is conceived and demonstrated. The measurement approach utilizes a high-reflection, resonant-microcavity probe, an entirely fiber-enclosed optical-beam path and a photonic heterodyne-mixing technique. A model for the reflective resonant probe is proposed and then employed to calculate electro-optic phase retardation and a modulation–efficiency slope, the latter of which is found to indicate that system sensitivity can be optimized via tuning of the input laser wavelength. This concept is experimentally verified using thin lithium tantalate electro-optic probe crystals configured as balanced resonators, and then an entirely fiber-coupled measurement is demonstrated in a variety of near-field, spatial scans over an X-band patch antenna.
A horse's eye view: size and shape discrimination compared with other mammals.

Mammals have adapted to a variety of natural environments from underwater to aerial and these different adaptations have affected their specific perceptive and cognitive abilities. This study used a computer-controlled touchscreen system to examine the visual discrimination abilities of horses, particularly regarding size and shape, and compared the results with those from chimpanzee, human, and dolphin studies. Horses were able to discriminate a difference of 14% in circle size but showed worse discrimination thresholds than chimpanzees and humans; these differences cannot be explained by visual acuity. Furthermore, the present findings indicate that all species use length cues rather than area cues to discriminate size. In terms of shape discrimination, horses exhibited perceptual similarities among shapes with curvatures, vertical/horizontal lines, and diagonal lines and the relative contributions of each feature to perceptual similarity in horses differed from those for chimpanzees, humans, and dolphins. Horses pay more attention to local components than to global shapes.

Understandings, Beliefs, and Reported Decision Making of First-Year Teachers from Different Reading Teacher Preparation Programs

In this study we followed 101 preservice teachers through their first year of teaching in order to explore differences in the understandings, beliefs, and decision making of beginning teachers from 3 types of reading teacher preparation programs. 73 of the elementary teachers graduated from programs at 1 of 8 colleges or universities identified by the International Reading Association's National Commission on Excellence in Elementary Teacher Preparation for Reading Instruction as excellent in undergraduate reading teacher preparation. 3 of these recognized programs were reading specialization programs (i.e., a major or minor in reading) housed at universities that also offered a general education program; the remaining 5 featured concentrated experiences and courses in reading that all undergraduates enjoyed. The reported experiences of these 40 reading specialization program teachers and 33 graduates of reading embedded programs were compared with the experiences of 28 graduates from general education programs from the 3 sites that offered a general program. Structured telephone interviews were conducted at 3 points in the beginning teachers' first year of teaching (September, January, June). Inductive data-driven analyses yielded 3 themes-instructional decision making, negotiations, and community-that distinguished the responses of graduates of the IRA recognized programs from those of graduates of general education programs. Graduates of recognized programs tended to speak in clear and thoughtful ways about their instruction, focus on assessing and meeting students' needs, and were more likely to report seeking ongoing support for and development of their own learning. These findings were robust for graduates across the 3 reading specialization sites as well as the 5 other recognized programs, suggesting that the overall quality and features of a program rather than its type or label can make a difference in preservice teacher learning.
Cambian sus preferencias los participantes en la deliberación

This paper analyzes the way participants change their mind in a deliberative forum. Its contribution lies in studying the extent to which these changes persist over time. We start from Mackie’s assumption that changes of opinion in a deliberative context cannot be interpreted by considering isolated variables, but must be based on individual attitudinal networks in which preferences are embedded. The results show that certain changes after deliberation are not maintained by some individuals. The paper details the importance of certain variables in the change of opinion in the short and long term, as well as the relationship that exists between different attitudes (information, preferences, beliefs and political effi cacy) at three different times before and after deliberation.
Recreation specialization reexamined: The case of vehicle‐based campers

Abstract Measurement of recreation specialization has been limited to the observation and recording of behaviors associated with activities and has ignored, to a large extent, individual affective attachment to participation. This article reports on the development of a construct called recreation involvement, which includes measures of both prior participation history and affective attachment (enduring involvement). In recognition of the multidimensional nature of the construct, a cluster‐analysis procedure was used to differentiate four subgroups of vehicle‐based campers, each of which showed different recreation involvement profiles. Subsequently, evidence is presented to show that variation in the focus of recreation involvement, as demonstrated by the profiles, influenced attitudes of campers toward management strategies and character of facility provision in the study area.
RelSim: Relation Similarity Search in Schema-Rich Heterogeneous Information Networks

Recent studies have demonstrated the power of modeling real world data as heterogeneous information networks (HINs) consisting of multiple types of entities and relations. Unfortunately, most of such studies (e.g., similarity search) conﬁne discussions on the networks with only a few entity and relationship types, such as DBLP. In the real world, however, the network schema can be rather complex, such as Freebase. In such HINs with rich schema , it is often too much burden to ask users to provide explicit guidance in selecting relations for similarity search. In this paper, we study the problem of relation similarity search in schema-rich HINs. Under our problem setting, users are only asked to provide some simple relation instance examples (e.g., (cid:104) Barack Obama, John Kerry (cid:105) and (cid:104) George W. Bush, Condoleezza Rice (cid:105) ) as a query, and we automatically detect the latent semantic relation (L-SR) implied by the query (e.g., “president vs. secretary-of-state”). Such LSR will help to ﬁnd other similar relation instances (e.g., (cid:104) Bill Clinton, Madeleine Albright (cid:105) ). In order to solve the problem, we ﬁrst deﬁne a new meta-path-based relation similarity measure, RelSim , to measure the similarity between relation instances in schema-rich HINs. Then given a query, we propose an optimization model to efﬁ-ciently learn LSR implied in the query through linear programming, and perform fast relation similarity search using RelSim based on the learned LSR. The experiments on real world datasets derived from Freebase demonstrate the effectiveness and efﬁciency of our approach.
Essential Role of the B23/NPM Core Domain in Regulating ARF Binding and B23 Stability*

How cells coordinate inhibition of growth and division during genotoxic events is fundamental to our understanding of the origin of cancer. Despite increasing interest and extensive study, the mechanisms that link regulation of DNA synthesis and ribosomal biogenesis remain elusive. Recently, the tumor suppressor p14ARF (ARF) has been shown to interact functionally with the nucleolar protein B23/NPM (B23) and inhibit rRNA biogenesis. However, the molecular basis of the ARF-B23 interaction is hitherto unclear. Here we show that a highly conserved motif in the B23 oligomerization domain is essential for mediating ARF binding in vivo. Mutagenesis of conserved B23 core residues (L102A, G105A, G107A) prevented B23 from interacting with ARF. Modeling of the B23 core indicated that substitutions in the GSGP loop motif could trigger conformational changes in B23 thereby obstructing ARF binding. Interestingly, the GSGP loop mutants were unstable, defective for oligomerization, and delocalized from the nucleolus to the nucleoplasm. B23 core mutants displayed increased ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation. We conclude that the functional integrity of the B23 core motif is required for stability, efficient nucleolar localization as well as ARF binding.
Proximity and orientation underlie signaling by the non‐receptor tyrosine kinase ZAP70

Signaling by the antigen receptor of T lymphocytes initiates different developmental transitions, each of which require the tyrosine kinase ZAP70. Previous studies with agonist and antagonist peptides have indicated that ZAP70 might respond differently to different structures of the TCR–CD3 complex induced by bound peptides. The roles of membrane proximity and orientation in activation of ZAP70 signaling were explored using synthetic ligands and their binding proteins designed to produce different architectures of membrane‐bound complexes composed of ZAP70 fusion proteins. Transient membrane recruitment of physiological levels of ZAP70 with the membrane‐permeable synthetic ligand FK1012A leads to rapid phosphorylation of ZAP70 and activation of the ras/MAPK and Ca2+/calcineurin signaling pathways. ZAP70 SH2 domains are not required for signaling when the kinase is artifically recruited to the membrane, indicating that the SH2 domains function solely in recruitment and not in kinase activation. Using additional synthetic ligands and their binding proteins that recruit ZAP70 equally well but orient it at the cell membrane in different ways, we define a requirement for a specific presentation of ZAP70 to its downstream targets. These results provide a mechanism by which ZAP70, bound to the phosphorylated receptor, could discriminate between conformational changes induced by the binding of different MHC–peptide complexes to the antigen receptor and introduce an approach to exploring the role of spatial orientation of signaling complexes in living cells.
International Conference on Learner Diversity ( ICELD ) Understanding Students Performance based on Gender and Types of Schooling using SEM

The paper looks into student achievement based on gender and type of schools. Learning styles and learning strategies were investigated as factors contributing to the differences in academic achievement among boys and girls in single gender and coeducational schools. Learning Styles and Learning Strategy Inventories were distributed to 400 students. Structural Equation Modeling found a good fit between the model with the data of samples. This study also found that academic achievement is directly influenced by learning strategies. The findings of this study provide a new dimension in explaining the growing gender gap in Malaysian educational system. © 2010 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
A Group-Work Approach to Addressing Friendship Issues in the Treatment of Adolescents with Eating Disorders

People with eating disorders often have some associated social difficulties. Given that friendships are of particular importance during adolescence, and that maintaining friendships during in-patient admission seems to aid the process of rehabilitation, there is a need for interventions that address friendship issues to form part of in-patient treatment programmes for adolescents with eating disorders. A group-work approach has been identified to address friendship issues within this context. The rationale for a Friends Group, key elements of the group and related issues are discussed. Patients’ experiences are reported and case examples provided to illustrate the function and value of the group.
Evaluation of preceptors and skills achievement by clinical pharmacy clerkship students during their clinical rotations at University of Gondar, Ethiopia

Aim To investigate the overall experiences of clinical pharmacy students during their clinical attachments and to understand the breadth and depth of clinical skills provided by their preceptors. Methods A cross-sectional study using a self-administered questionnaire containing 34 items to obtain feedback from the clerkship students from June to July 2015. Data analysis was performed to calculate mean, standard deviation, percentages, and multiple logistic regression using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software Version 22. Statistical significance was set at P<0.01. Results All 58 clerkship students actively participated in the study, yielding a response rate of 100%. While students ranked their clerkship experience as moderate, >15% remarked that they did not receive enough opportunities to hone their pharmaceutical care documentation skills. A relatively high percentage of students (32.8%) strongly agreed that their preceptors had provided ample opportunity to discuss the patient problems at the bedside and encouraged them to express their opinions regarding patients’ drug therapeutic issues. This study also revealed that students’ continuity in developing their therapeutic and disease process knowledge was significantly associated with the preceptor’s ability to provide adequate training and orientation (P =0.01), engagement in clinical pharmacy activities (P =0.01), regular review of students’ work (P =0.01), and instruction to students before entering clinical sites (P =0.00). Conclusion The findings of this study reveal that a majority of the students were moderately satisfied with the clinical training program and preceptors need to demonstrate effective pharmaceutical care processes in their clinical sites.
Relational agency and teacher development: a CHAT analysis of a collaborative professional inquiry project with biology teachers

Teacher quality largely determines student outcomes and many argue for high quality teacher training and professional development (PD). Much PD has been heavily critiqued and what constitutes effective provision for teachers remains contested. Disenfranchisement of teachers, through neglect of prior expertise and failure to acknowledge teachers’ working contexts, some argue, are to blame. A PD project with five biology teachers and a teacher educator, grounded within a cultural, historical activity theoretical (CHAT) tradition, was initiated to address these shortcomings. Edwards’ concept of relational agency was employed to investigate and interpret teacher collaboration. Teachers’ perceptions about the project were gathered using free-response questionnaires and semi-structured interviews, with the data being analysed using a CHAT framework. The positive impact on teacher practice reported here was related to having opportunities to own and be responsible for one’s own and others’ development, exploiting the distributed expertise available and supporting collaborative work.
