Investigating the Role of Hurtful Family Environment in the Relationship Between Affectionate Communication and Family Satisfaction

A significant body of research has shown that support from family can have numerous positive biopsychosocial outcomes for an individual. Children with supportive families have fewer emotional and behavioral problems (Garnefski & Diekstra, 1996), have higher quality relationships with peers (Franco & Levitt, 1998), are less likely to be depressed (Huntley & Phelps, 1990), and are generally healthier (Wickrama, Lorenz, & Conger, 1997) than children with less supportive families. However, families can often cause a great deal of hurt and emotional pain. Members of such families may be subjected to manipulation, belittling, criticism, and sometimes even violence. Being a part of a hurtful family environment (broadly defined here) can cause a variety of effects on an individual. Research has shown that individuals from a hurtful family environment are more prone to high blood pressure (Luecken, 1998), have problems regulating stress (Jones, Beach, & Jackson, 2004), are more prone to depression (Downey & Coyne, 1990), have communication problems such as verbal hostility, and have problems with self-esteem and anxiety (Vangelisti, Maguire, Alexander, & Clark, 2007). A hurtful family environment is also likely to influence how an individual communicates and relates to his or her family as well as others such as friends and romantic partners (Noller & Fitzpatrick, 1990). This impact could include the ability of an individual to express emotions (Planalp, 1998). To further investigate these effects, our study explores the role that hurtful family
A Client Satisfaction Scale Suitable for Use with Hispanics?

Data from a large-scale survey of community health center clients were analyzed to assess how a measure of client satisfaction operates when used with different ethnic populations. The eight-item version of the Client Satisfaction Questionnaire (CSQ-8) is a measure of general satisfaction with services which was developed to provide a brief, standard assessment procedure suitable for use in a wide variety of service settings. Based on the results of this survey, the CSQ-8 seems to operate about the same, whether administered to Anglos, blacks, persons of Mexican descent, or persons of other Hispanic origin. Whether the criterion was internal consistency reliability, central tendency, dispersion, item intercorrelation, or missing values, there were essentially no differences among the four ethnic groups, suggesting that the CSQ-8 is a measure of general satisfaction with services suitable for use with a variety of client populations, including Hispanics.
The Nature of the Book

The Nature of the Book is a richly detailed and substantial work that has important implications for the history of both print culture and the diffusion of scienti c knowledge. In Adrian Johns’ discussion of scienti c publishing in seventeenth-century Britain, few stones are left unturned. His work is thoroughly researched, and is accompanied by a wonderfully wide-ranging sixty-six-page bibliography. Johns’ title is a play on words, reversing “The Book of Nature,” because his main concern is with the communication of knowledge about the natural world through print. The analysis of science and the book trade is enlivened by interesting narratives about the confrontation between genteel scholars and the unscrupulous world of London publishing. Johns’ chronological framework, however, is very loose: it ranges from Tycho Brahe to Newton. The book focuses mainly on the second half of the seventeenth century, the period of the establishment of the Royal Society and of the Greenwich Royal Observatory, and of the publication of Newton’s Principia and Opticks. Johns asks a fundamental question about the nature of print culture: what was it that gave print authority, and made printed knowledge credible? Today, when we open a book like this one, we make several unspoken assumptions. We assume,  rstly, that the author who is named on the title page has written it. We also assume that it has been published with the author’s permission. We further assume that all copies of this edition of the text will be identical. In seventeenth-century England, however, none of these assumptions could be taken for granted. Scienti c  ndings did not acquire legitimacy in print unless forces operating outside the text itself guaranteed the author’s credit. Truth and reliability were not inherent in printed knowledge, Johns argues: they were acquired by hardworking authors and publishers, defending criteria of integrity which meant little to the booksellers of “Little Britain” and Paternoster Row, the heart of London’s book trade. Underneath Johns’  ne array of detail lies an important argument against the printing revolution thesis put forward by Elizabeth Eisenstein in The Printing Press as an Agent of Change (Cambridge University Press, 1979). One of the qualities which distinguished print from scribal publications, according to Eisenstein, was its  xity. Eisenstein emphasized the ability of print to give texts a permanent and authoritative form. Johns will have none of this. Fixity, he argues, was not an inherent characteristic of print, but was something entirely contingent, conferred by the efforts of authors and publishers. And ultimately, the legitimacy and authority of print depended on the , ·
Disentangling self-management goal setting and action planning: A scoping review

Introduction The ongoing rise in the numbers of chronically ill people necessitates efforts for effective self-management. Goal setting and action planning are frequently used, as they are thought to support patients in changing their behavior. However, it remains unclear how goal setting and action planning in the context of self-management are defined in the scientific literature. This study aimed to achieve a better understanding of the various definitions used. Methods A scoping review was conducted, searching PubMed, Cinahl, PsychINFO and Cochrane. Inclusion and exclusion criteria were formulated to ensure the focus on goal setting/action planning and self-management. The literature was updated to December 2015; data selection and charting was done by two reviewers. A qualitative content analysis approach was used. Results Out of 9115 retrieved articles, 58 met the inclusion criteria. We created an overview of goal setting phases that were applied (preparation, formulation of goals, formulation of action plan, coping planning and follow-up). Although the phases we found are in accordance with commonly known frameworks for goal setting, it was striking that the majority of studies (n = 39, 67%) did not include all phases. We also prepared an overview of components and strategies for each goal setting phase. Interestingly, few strategies were found for the communication between patients and professionals about goals/action plans. Most studies (n = 35, 60%) focused goal setting on one single disease and on a predefined lifestyle behavior; nearly half of the articles (n = 27, 47%) reported a theoretical framework. Discussion The results might provide practical support for developers of interventions. Moreover, our results might encourage professionals to become more aware of the phases of the goal setting process and of strategies emphasizing on patient reflection. However, more research might be useful to examine strategies to facilitate communication about goals/action plans. It might also be worthwhile to develop and evaluate goal setting/action planning strategies for people with different and multiple chronic conditions.
Application of evolutionary algorithms in the design of compact multi-band antennas

This paper presents an application of a novel design approach, which combines genetic algorithm, local optimization and frequency reconfigurability. The adopted case study is a quad-band antenna for vehicular GSM/DCS/PCS communications; focus has been put on designing an antenna with good return loss and feasible geometry. The reliability of the performances of the output structure over the whole frequency bands have been checked by use of dedicated simulations. Overall, the designed antenna shows very good return loss over the bands of interest.
Principals’ Engagement of Low Ability Students in Singapore Secondary Schools

This article describes a grounded theory constructed from a study of Singapore neighbourhood secondary school principals’ engagement of their lowest stream, the Normal Technical students, in their schools. This substantive theory is labelled the ‘theory of selective engagement’. It implies that how principals engage their lowest streamed students is based on the way they perceive streaming as practiced in the Singapore education system, their perception of the Normal Technical students and their personal expectations of these students. The theory proposes that principals can be classified as ‘realists/pragmatists’, ‘innovators/improvisers’ and ‘nurturers’ according to the extent they selectively engage their students in areas such as: (1) Streaming/Lateral Movement; (2) Monitoring; (3) Deployment of Resources; (4) Subject Offerings; (5) Enrichment Programmes; (6) Managing Discipline; (7) Leadership Opportunities; and (8) Treatment of Students.
A Fundamental Regulatory Mechanism Operating through OmpR and DNA Topology Controls Expression of Salmonella Pathogenicity Islands SPI-1 and SPI-2

DNA topology has fundamental control over the ability of transcription factors to access their target DNA sites at gene promoters. However, the influence of DNA topology on protein–DNA and protein–protein interactions is poorly understood. For example, relaxation of DNA supercoiling strongly induces the well-studied pathogenicity gene ssrA (also called spiR) in Salmonella enterica, but neither the mechanism nor the proteins involved are known. We have found that relaxation of DNA supercoiling induces expression of the Salmonella pathogenicity island (SPI)-2 regulator ssrA as well as the SPI-1 regulator hilC through a mechanism that requires the two-component regulator OmpR-EnvZ. Additionally, the ompR promoter is autoregulated in the same fashion. Conversely, the SPI-1 regulator hilD is induced by DNA relaxation but is repressed by OmpR. Relaxation of DNA supercoiling caused an increase in OmpR binding to DNA and a concomitant decrease in binding by the nucleoid-associated protein FIS. The reciprocal occupancy of DNA by OmpR and FIS was not due to antagonism between these transcription factors, but was instead a more intrinsic response to altered DNA topology. Surprisingly, DNA relaxation had no detectable effect on the binding of the global repressor H-NS. These results reveal the underlying molecular mechanism that primes SPI genes for rapid induction at the onset of host invasion. Additionally, our results reveal novel features of the archetypal two-component regulator OmpR. OmpR binding to relaxed DNA appears to generate a locally supercoiled state, which may assist promoter activation by relocating supercoiling stress-induced destabilization of DNA strands. Much has been made of the mechanisms that have evolved to regulate horizontally-acquired genes such as SPIs, but parallels among the ssrA, hilC, and ompR promoters illustrate that a fundamental form of regulation based on DNA topology coordinates the expression of these genes regardless of their origins.
The Role of Immunohistochemistry in the Diagnosis of Primary Tumors of the Bone.

Due to the rarity of primary bone tumors, few physicians accumulate enough experience in the diagnosis and treatment of these neoplasias. Clinical management is best achieved through a multidisciplinary approach in which surgeon, radiologist, medical oncologist, and pathologist combine their expertise to establish both an accurate diagnosis and a rational treatment plan. The diagnostic algorithm of a primary tumor of the bone is, and always has been, a collaborative effort in which clinical, radiologic, and pathologic features have to be considered. In the majority of cases, the pathologist can rely exclusively on histopathologic examination to provide an accurate diagnosis. In some cases, however, a variety of ancillary studies have to be employed to distinguish entities that share morphologic characteristics. Currently, immunohistochemistry has limited application in the differential diagnosis of primary bone tumors, but occasionally, characterization of the antigenic profile is the only way to properly classify a given neoplasia. Furthermore, immunohistochemical analysis is helping us to establish the histogenetic origin of many entities and to understand their pathogenesis.
The Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal System in Depression

Patients with depression frequently have symptom clusters which point strongly to involvement of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) system as a relay station between neurocircuitries in the brain and peripheral hormone and autonomic nervous function. It has been proposed that this increased, state-dependent hyperactivity of the HPA-system in depression is probably initiated and/or maintained by the combination of enhanced central production of CRH and desensitization of the binary, glucocorticoid receptor binding system in the hippocampus, which is the central regulator of HPA system activity. In a first series of studies a refined neuroendocrine test to probe the integrity of HPA system status--the combined dexamethasone suppression/CRH challenge (DEX/CRH) test--was developed and the differential effects of aging and depressed psychopathology on DEX/CRH test outcome were described. In a second set of studies, the chronological relationship between improvement of psychopathology in depressed patients treated with antidepressants and normalization of the disturbed HPA system function in these patients was further elucidated. Given the evidence from animal studies, we conclude that antidepressants induce an up-regulation of hippocampal glucocorticoid receptor mRNA concentration, thus amplifying the negative feedback effect of glucocorticoids. This then results in the normalization of DEX/CRH test results observed in the depressed patients in our study. We further conclude that dampening of HPA system hyperactivity in depression by means of antidepressants is a conditio sine qua non for successful improvement of psychopathology.
Exploring Differences Between Violent and Nonviolent Juvenile Offenders Using Juvenile

Effective consultation for the prevention and treatment of violent juvenile of- fenders may benefit from analyses that identify local risk and protective factors. Such analyses require appropriate multidisciplinary supporting data that typically must be collected from multiple sources. Juvenile correctional facility records potentially offer a single, readily available source of data about adjudicated youth and their families that can be accessed in a timely and efficient manner. This article describes the advantages of using juvenile correctional facility records as part of a risk-based approach to plan and implement prevention and treatment programs for violent juvenile offenders. Client records from a juvenile correctional facility are analyzed by comparing violent and nonviolent juvenile offenders, and demonstrate the usefulness of the records in identifying local risk factors for violent criminal behavior.
KTimeML: Specification of Temporal and Event Expressions in Korean Text

TimeML, TimeBank, and TTK (TARSQI Project) have been playing an important role in enhancement of IE, QA, and other NLP applications. TimeML is a specification language for events and temporal expressions in text. This paper presents the problems and solutions for porting TimeML to Korean as a part of the Korean TARSQI Project. We also introduce the KTTK which is an automatic markup tool of temporal and event-denoting expressions in Korean text.
Effects of phosphodiesterase inhibitors on spontaneous electrical activity (slow waves) in the guinea‐pig gastric muscle.

1. The effects of the phosphodiesterase inhibitors caffeine, theophylline, isobutylmethylxanthine (IBMX) and rolipram on spontaneous electrical activity (slow waves) were studied in the circular muscle of the guinea‐pig gastric antrum. 2. All the inhibitors reduced slow wave frequency without changing the membrane potential and the slow wave configuration, but at higher concentrations they blocked the slow waves and caused membrane hyperpolarization. In the presence of the inhibitors a low level of irregular electrical activity could be observed in many preparations. 3. Isoprenaline, forskolin, dibutyryl cAMP and 8‐bromo‐cAMP all produced effects essentially similar to those of phosphodiesterase inhibitors. K+ (12 mM) and removal of K+ both depolarized the membrane and these were not affected by IBMX (1‐3 microM). A decrease in frequency caused by IBMX was also not significantly affected by 12 mM K+ or K+ removal and only partially antagonized by TEA or 4‐aminopyridine. 4. These results suggest that an increase in intracellular cAMP inhibits pacemaker activity of slow waves. An increase in K+ conductance does not seem to be a major factor in this inhibition. Slow waves appear to be a compound electrical activity in a group of muscle cells and are likely to be disintegrated by xanthine derivatives.
Associative Algorithms for Computational Creativity

Computational creativity, the generation of new, unimagined ideas or artifacts by a machine that are deemed creative by people, can be applied in the culinary domain to create novel and flavorful dishes. In fact, we have done so successfully using a combinatorial algorithm for recipe generation combined with statistical models for recipe ranking and selection. However, the algorithm of creation in our prior work may be difficult for people to interpret, understand, and ultimately adopt because the process differs from the process of human creativity theorized in the psychology and neuroscience literatures. In this paper, to address this issue, we discuss how human creativity, including in the food arena, may be built on associations and how an algorithm also built on associations can be more relatable to people so they can interact with the tool more easily. We propose a computational creativity approach that extends the data mining technique of association rule mining to generate new food recipes. We illustrate this associative algorithm on real-world culinary data.
Coalescence and Collisions of Gold Nanoparticles

We study the assembling of small gold clusters subject to collisions and close contact coalescence by using molecular dynamics simulations to simulate events that occur typically in the sputtering process of synthesis. Our results support the notion that the kinetics of coalescence processes strongly determine the geometry and structure of the final particle. While impact velocities, relative orientations, and the initial shape of the interacting particles are unlikely to strictly determine the structural details of the newly formed particle, we found that high initial temperatures and/or impact velocities increase the probability of appearance of icosahedral-like structures, Wulff polyhedra are likely to be formed as a product of the interactions between nanospheres, while the appearance of fcc particles of approximately cuboctahedral shape is mainly due to the interaction between icosahedra.
On the design of delay-tolerant distributed space-time codes with minimum length

The construction of distributed space-time codes for asynchronous relays is considered. A novel algebraic structure is proposed and shown to achieve full diversity for arbitrary number of relays, arbitrary input alphabets, and arbitrary delay profiles among the relays. Unlike previously proposed delay tolerant schemes, the new design has minimum length which translates into smaller decoding complexity at the same transmission rate. Full-rate and full-diversity are achieved by the new designs with or without the use of guard intervals between successive transmissions. Simulation results confirm the mathematical analysis of the proposed codes.
Ketamine Interaction with Neuromuscular Blocking Agents n the Phrenic Nerve‐Hemidiaphragm Preparation of the Rat

The influence of ketamine on the directly and indirectly evoked twitch tension and on presynaptic acetylcholine (ACh) release and the interaction of ketamine with neuromuscular blocking agents sere investigated in the isolated phrenic nerve-hemidiaphragm preparation of the rat.Ketarnine, 10 μg/ml, caused an S.65 ± 1.25 SEM (standard error of the mean) percent (p <0.001) increase in indirectly evoked twitch tension hut had no effect on directly stimulated muscle. The same concentration of ketamine decreased presynaptic ACh release from 7.75 ± 0.80 to 5.60 ± 0.54 nmol/g tissue/min (p < 0.005). Ketamine in 4 to 8 μg/ml Concentrations significantly (p <0.05 to 0.001) increased the neuromuscular effects of d-tubocurarine (d-Tc). pancuronium, succinylcholine (SCh), and decamethonium (C10). In the presence of 10 μg/ml ketamine the dose-response regression line of d-Tc and SCh shifted to the left. There was no change in the slope of the d-Tc and SCh regression lines.Ketamine produced 50 percent inhibition of human plasma butyrylcholinesterase at a concentration of 5.2 ± 10−3M and 50 percent inhibition of human red cell acetylcholinesterase at a concentration of 3.3 ± 10−3M. These concentrations are substantially helps plasma levels of ketamine 7.5 minutes after its administration. It is unlikely that ketamine augments the effect of SCh by inhibition of the enzymatic biodegradation of SCh.Our findings suggest that decreased presynaptic ACh release may contribute to the increased effect of neuromuscular blocking agents produced by ketamine in this preparation.
A Contextualized Investigation of Traumatic Correlates of Childhood Sexual Abuse in Australian Athletes

Abstract This study examined the traumatic sequelae associated with childhood sexual abuse from a contextualized perspective, taking into account childhood physical and psychological abuse experiences and adult trauma. Participants were 90 (45 men and 45 women) competitive athletes, purposefully selected to balance the distributions of sex and reported childhood sexual abuse across the sample. The study comprised a cross‐sectional, retrospective investigation using well‐established, standardized, self‐report questionnaires and a semi‐structured interview Results revealed that, within the total sample, childhood sexual, physical, and psychological abuse were strongly correlated. Reported childhood psychological abuse was the primary unique correlate of current posttraumatic and dissociative symptomatology. Reported childhood sexual abuse and psychological abuse were uniquely correlated with posttraumatic and dissociative symptomatology in the male sample. The unique correlate in the female sample was childhood physical abuse. The study provides initial data that support recent work in the trauma field with non‐athletes, indicating that contextualized, trauma‐based assessment and intervention is an appropriate therapeutic approach when working with athlete‐survivors of childhood sexual abuse. Specifically, the long‐term traumatic sequelae associated with childhood sexual abuse need to be assessed and treated within a context that is sensitive to psychological abuse issues. Sex disaggregated analyses suggest that the social context of childhood sexual abuse may be qualitatively different for men and women. Implications for sport psychology practice, training, and research are discussed.
