Efficacy Beliefs in Coach–Athlete Dyads: Prospective Relationships Using Actor–Partner Interdependence Models

The overall purpose of the study was to investigate prospective actor and partner effects (cf. Kenny, Kashy, & Cook, 2006) of interpersonal efficacy beliefs in relation to relationship commitment, satisfaction, and effort within coach–athlete dyads. Fifty youth tennis players (mean age = 15.52 years, SD = 1.45) and their coaches (mean age = 40.17 years, SD = 13.71) provided data related to their self-efficacy, other-efficacy, and relation-inferred self-efficacy (RISE) beliefs mid-way through the competitive season. Three months later, participants provided data regarding personal effort, as well as relationship commitment and satisfaction. Actor–partner interdependence model analyses revealed positive actor effects for self-efficacy in relation to effort, and for other-efficacy in relation to commitment, effort, and satisfaction. Partner effects for other-efficacy were found in relation to relationship commitment and effort. Finally, actor and partner effects were also evident for RISE beliefs; however, these relationships were moderated by the individual's role (i.e. athlete or coach), such that the direction of actor and partner effects differed for athletes and coaches. Implications for fostering effective coach–athlete relationships are discussed. Cette recherche avait pour objectif general l’etude des retombees eventuelles sur l’acteur et son partenaire (Cf.: Kenny, Kashy & Cook, 2006) des croyances en l’efficience interpersonnelle en relation avec l’implication, la satisfaction et l’effort au sein de la dyade entraineur-athlete. Cinquante jeunes joueurs de tennis (âge moyen = 15,52; σ= 1,45) et leurs entraineurs (âge moyen = 40,17; σ= 13,71) ont fourni des donnees relatives a leurs representations concernant l’auto-efficience, l’efficience d’autrui et l’auto-efficience emanant de la relation (RISE), cela au milieu de la periode des competitions. Trois mois plus tard, les sujets ont donne des informations se rapportant a leur effort personnel, leur implication relationnelle et leur satisfaction. Les analyses relevant du modele de l’interdependance acteur-partenaire ont revele des consequences positives pour l’acteur en ce qui concerne l’auto-efficience en relation avec l’effort et l’efficience d’autrui en relation avec l’implication, l’effort et la satisfaction. Les effets du partenaire pour l’efficacite d’autrui etaient en relation avec l’effort et l’implication relationnelle. Finalement, les effets du partenaire et de l’acteur apparaissaient egalement pour les croyances RISE; ces relations etaient toutefois modulees par les roles individuels (athlete ou entraineur), de telle sorte que le sens des effets acteur-partenaire differait pour les athletes et les entraineurs. On reflechit aux applications permettant d’ameliorer l’efficacite des relations athlete-entraineur.
Military doctrine and intelligence fusion in the American homeland

Although a plethora of research has examined US efforts to combat terrorism both at home and abroad, very few scholars have investigated the unprecedented relationships among US national security institutions and urban law enforcement agencies that have emerged since the events of 9/11. Through evidence culled from semi-structured interviews with 28 security planners in Washington DC and New York City, this article explains how path dependence, isomorphism and diffusion are propagating the application of military doctrine within domestic security initiatives through ‘intelligence fusion’. With particular attention to the Lower Manhattan Security Initiative, this investigation builds upon a body of work that has emerged in recent years by charting the institutional and technological architectures that are driving the deployment of paramilitary tactics and surveillance systems in cities.
Family Mediators of the Relation Between Acculturation and Adolescent Mental Health

This study of 175 Mexican-origin families examined a mediational model linking the linguistic acculturation of mothers and adolescents with a wide array of family mediators and adolescent mental health outcomes. Family linguistic acculturation, a latent construct based on maternal and adolescent acculturation, was positively related to increased family and interparental conflict but was not related to maternal parenting practices. Family conflict medi- ated the link between acculturation and two adolescent outcomes, conduct problems and depressive symptoms. Family acculturation showed a complex pattern of positive, indirect (mediated) and negative, direct effects on adolescent depressive symptoms. Findings are discussed in relation to traditional cultural values of Mexican heritage families and prevailing theories about why more acculturated Mexican-origin youth are at increased risk for problem behaviors.
Heterogeneity Underlies the Emergence of EGFRT790 Wild-Type Clones Following Treatment of T790M-Positive Cancers with a Third-Generation EGFR Inhibitor.

UNLABELLED Rociletinib is a third-generation EGFR inhibitor active in lung cancers with T790M, the gatekeeper mutation underlying most first-generation EGFR drug resistance. We biopsied patients at rociletinib progression to explore resistance mechanisms. Among 12 patients with T790M-positive cancers at rociletinib initiation, six had T790-wild-type rociletinib-resistant biopsies. Two T790-wild-type cancers underwent small cell lung cancer transformation; three T790M-positive cancers acquired EGFR amplification. We documented T790-wild-type and T790M-positive clones coexisting within a single pre-rociletinib biopsy. The pretreatment fraction of T790M-positive cells affected response to rociletinib. Longitudinal circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) analysis revealed an increase in plasma EGFR-activating mutation, and T790M heralded rociletinib resistance in some patients, whereas in others the activating mutation increased but T790M remained suppressed. Together, these findings demonstrate the role of tumor heterogeneity when therapies targeting a singular resistance mechanism are used. To further improve outcomes, combination regimens that also target T790-wild-type clones are required. SIGNIFICANCE This report documents that half of T790M-positive EGFR-mutant lung cancers treated with rociletinib are T790-wild-type upon progression, suggesting that T790-wild-type clones can emerge as the dominant source of resistance. We show that tumor heterogeneity has important clinical implications and that plasma ctDNA analyses can sometimes predict emerging resistance mechanisms.
Values and principles evident in current health promotion practice.

ISSUE ADDRESSED Modern health promotion practice needs to respond to complex health issues that have multiple interrelated determinants. This requires an understanding of the values and principles of health promotion. METHOD A literature review was undertaken to explore the values and principles evident in current health promotion theory and practice. RESULTS A broad range of values and principles are espoused as being integral to modern health promotion theory and practice. Although there are some commonalities across these lists, there is no recognised, authoritative set of values and principles accepted as fundamental and applicable to modern health promotion. There is a continuum of values and principles evident in health promotion practice from those associated with holistic, ecological, salutogenic health promotion to those more in keeping with conventional health promotion. CONCLUSION There is a need for a system of values and principles consistent with modern health promotion that enables practitioners to purposefully integrate these values and principles into their understanding of health, as well as their needs assessment, planning, implementation and evaluation practice.
Modeling the Relation between Obesity and Sleep Parameters in Children Referred for Dietary Weight Reduction Intervention

Objectives Cross-sectional and longitudinal studies have demonstrated that short sleep periods increase the likelihood of obesity in children. This study was designed to identify other less-clearly defined sleep and behavioral patterns associated with changes in body mass index (BMI) in obese children referred for interventions. Methods We retrospectively reviewed the clinic records of children with obesity and children at risk for developing obesity who were referred for counseling and weight loss. Information on sleep habits, pediatric quality of life, pediatric sleep questionnaire (PSQ), and the pediatric daytime sleepiness scale were analyzed, and children were distributed into three behavior groups using cluster analysis. Results Our sample contained 48 girls and 29 boys with an age range of 2.7 to 16.8 years. The mean BMI was 33.08 ± 7.37 kg/m2, and mean sleep duration was 9.09 ± 1.09 hours. Multivariate analysis revealed a significant interaction between sleep duration and age when the child was older than 12 years. A 1-hour increase in sleep in older children was associated with a decrease in BMI of 1.263 kg/m2. Higher (more abnormal) pediatric quality-of-life school scores, higher PSQ1 and PSQ2 scores, and higher pediatric daytime sleepiness scale scores were associated with an increased BMI in univariate analyses but not in the multivariate analysis using the behavior group as an independent predictor. Children who shared a bedroom had a lower BMI in univariate analysis but not in the multivariate analysis. Conclusions Longer sleep periods are associated with a decreased BMI, even in children who already meet the criteria for obesity. These children have poor-quality sleep, diurnal behavioral problems, and increased diurnal sleepiness. This study suggests that studies in obese children using questionnaires about sleep habits and quality of life provide useful information that could lead to better weight loss intervention studies.
From In Loco Parentis to Consumerism: A Legal Analysis of the Contractual Relationship Between Institution and Student

As a result of the combined influences of historical events, judicial interpretations, and governmental regulation, the relationship between institutions of higher learning and their students has shifted from the theoretical perspective of in loco parentis, in which the university wielded strict control over the lives of students, to a consumer orientation. This contemporary characterization of student-asconsumer was precipitated by the application of the lens of contract theory by the judiciary in scrutiny of the foundation of the institution-student relationship. This article addresses the evolution of the student-as-consumer philosophy through a review of the literature and analyzes the contemporary contractual relationship between colleges and students through examination of federal and state case law. The analysis and synthesis of 130 reported cases indicated that the contract theory applicable to higher education has undergone an evolutionary process through which it has become firmly ensconced as a viable legal descriptor of the relationship between institutions of higher learning and students. Guidelines for administrative practice suggesting methods for avoidance of institutional and professional liability were extrapolated from the analysis.
Properties of Cadmium-(bis)dodecylthiolate and Polymeric Composites Based on It

We study the thermo-physical and photoluminescence (PL) properties of cadmium-(bis)dodecylthiolate (Cd(C12H25S)2). Significant attention is drawn to characterization of Cd(C12H25S)2 by different methods. The laser-induced PLs of Cd(C12H25S)2 and Cd(C12H25S)2/(polymethyl methacrylate) (PMMA) composites are studied. Samples of Cd(C12H25S)2/PMMA are synthesized by the polymerization method. Ultraviolet (UV)-pulsed laser irradiation of the samples under relatively small fluences leads to the formation of induced PL with the maximum near the wavelength of 600 nm. This process can be attributed to the transformation of Cd(C12H25S)2 within the precursor grains. Another PL peak at 450–500 nm, which appears under the higher fluences, relies on the formation of CdS complexes with a significant impact of the polymer matrix.
Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG): review of a new bariatric procedure and initial results.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the outcomes and initial results of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) and review of the literature. METHODS A retrospective analysis of the initial ten patients who underwent LSG was performed. Study endpoints included operative time, complication rates, hospital length of stay, and percentage of excess body weight loss. RESULTS This study included five women and five men, with a mean age of 43 (range: 31-52) years. Their mean preoperative weight was 182 kg (range: 125 kg-247 kg), with a mean preoperative body mass index (BMI) of 64 (range: 61- 80). Indication for LSG was the importance of BMI in all patients. One patient had previous restrictive bariatric surgery. Mean operative time was two (range: 1.5-2.5) hours. No patients required conversion. No postoperative complications nor mortality were noted. The median hospital stay was 7.2 days. Average excess body weight loss and BMI at one year were 51% and 23 kg/m2, respectively. CONCLUSIONS LSG can be integrated safely into a bariatric treatment program with good results in terms of weight loss and quality of life. LSG can be a first-step procedure before gastric bypass or duodenal switch, or a one-step restrictive procedure if long-term results are good. LSG should be considered as a surgical option in the bariatric field, but further studies are needed to determine its exact use.
Attitudes Toward the Police: The Effects of Direct and Vicarious Experience

Researchers have emphasized the importance of direct encounters with the police as a determinant of attitudes toward the police, yet cross-sectional studies allow for limited causal inference. This study includes the measurement of attitudes before and after encounters with the police among African American, Hispanic, and White residents of Chicago. Contrary to previous research, direct contact with the police during the past year is not enough to change attitudes, but vicarious experience (i.e., learning that someone else has had a good or bad encounter with the police) does influence attitudes in a predictable manner. Also, residents’ initial attitudes about the police play a critical role in shaping their judgments of subsequent direct and indirect experiences as well as their future attitudes. The findings are discussed in terms of stereotypes about the police that are resistant to change.
An investigation into inflection-point instability in the entrance region of a pulsating pipe flow

This paper investigates the inflection-point instability that governs the flow disturbance initiated in the entrance region of a pulsating pipe flow. Under such a flow condition, the flow instability grows within a certain phase region in a pulsating cycle, during which the inflection point in the unsteady mean flow lifts away from the viscous effect-dominated region known as the Stokes layer. The characteristic frequency of the instability is found to be in agreement with that predicted by the mixing-layer model. In comparison with those cases not falling in this category, it is further verified that the flow phenomenon will take place only if the inflection point lifts away sufficiently from the Stokes layer.
An Investigation of Cognitive Antecedents to Satisfaction Using Web-Based Decision Spport Systems

Web sites play a critical role in attracting customers. Many Web sites provide different functionalities to assist customers in decision-making. Despite the importance of different types of functionalities provided by Web sites, there is little knowledge about how Web customers’ satisfaction is formulated using Web-based decision support systems (DSS). In this study, we develop a conceptual model for investigating cognitive antecedents to Web users’ satisfaction in the context of Web-based DSS. The empirical examination of the research model indicates that perceived effectiveness is influenced by perceived accuracy and effort and, in turn, has a positive impact on satisfaction in using Web-based DSS. The implications of this study provide information to Web site designers and developers as to how a Web-based DSS needs to be implemented to enhance Web users’ satisfaction.
Self sustaining bicycle robot with steering controller

Bicycle is a transportation device without any environmental burden. However, bicycle is unstable in itself and it is fall down without human assistance like steering handle or moving upper body. In these days, electric power assistance bicycles are used practically, but all of those bicycles merely assist human with pedal driving and there are no bicycles that help to stabilize its position. Hence, stabilizing the posture and realizing stable driving of a bicycle have been researched. Dynamic model of running bicycle is complicated and it's hard to recognize completely. However, assuming that the rider doesn't move upper body, dynamics of bicycle is represented in equilibrium of gravity and centrifugal force. Centrifugal force is risen out from the running velocity and turning radius determined by steering angle. Under these conditions, it is possible to stabilize bicycle posture by controlling its steering. In this paper, the dynamic model derived from equilibrium of gravity and centrifugal force is proposed. Then the control method for bicycle steering based on acceleration control is proposed. Finally, the validity of this method is proved by the simulations and experimental results.
Der Bielefelder Fragebogen zu Partnerschaftserwartungen

Zusammenfassung: Die wesentlichen Methoden zur Erfassung von “Bindungsstilen” werden vor dem Hintergrund diskutiert, dass Operationalisierungen die Modellvorstellungen der zugehorigen Theorie moglichst getreu abbilden sollten. Da “Bindungsstile” als umschriebene Reaktionsmuster in bindungsrelevanten Situationen definiert sind (Ainsworth, Blehar, Waters & Wall, 1978), erscheinen Prototypen im Sinne charakteristischer Konfigurationen von Merkmalen als die bestgeeignete Basis fur die Operationalisierung. Eine an diesem Prinzip orientierte Clusteranalyse anhand des “Bielefelder Fragebogens zu Klientenerwartungen (BFKE)” (Hoger, 1999) mit den Skalen “Akzeptanzprobleme”, “Offnungsbereitschaft” und “Zuwendungsbedurfnis” hatte funf Bindungsmuster identifiziert: “sicher” sowie je zwei Varianten des “unsicher-ambivalenten” (“verschossen” und “anklammernd”) und des “unsicher-vermeidenden” Musters (“verschlossen” und “kooperationsbereit”). Um den Anwendungsbereich dieses Verfahrens zu erweitern, wurden die auf die Pe.
Young Children are Reality-Prone When Thinking about Stories

Abstract Many parents and some researchers assume that young children are fantastical thinkers. We examined this assumption in the domain of reasoning about fictional stories. We presented 4-year-olds with realistic and fantastical stories and asked them how best to continue these stories: with ordinary events or with events that violate real-world causal laws. Children preferred the ordinary events for both types of stories (Experiment 1, n=42) while a comparison group of adults (n=68) continued stories based on their content. To ensure that children’s responses reflected their intuitions about stories per se, Experiment 2 (n=60) asked 4-year-olds to make the same choice between realistic and fantastical events, but in the context of figuring out an experimenter’s preferences or learning a new word. Here, children did not demonstrate an overall bias for the realistic events. These findings suggest that children are reality-prone in the context of fictional stories.
Risk of Thromboembolic Events After Percutaneous Left Atrial Radiofrequency Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation

Background— In patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), the risk of thromboembolic events (TEs) is variable and is influenced by the presence and number of comorbid conditions. The effect of percutaneous left atrial radiofrequency ablation (LARFA) of AF on the risk of TEs is unclear. Methods and Results— LARFA was performed in 755 consecutive patients with paroxysmal (n=490) or chronic (n=265) AF. Four hundred eleven patients (56%) had ≥1 risk factor for stroke. All patients were anticoagulated with warfarin for ≥3 months after LARFA. A TE occurred in 7 patients (0.9%) within 2 weeks of LARFA. A late TE occurred 6 to 10 months after ablation in 2 patients (0.2%), 1 of whom still had AF, despite therapeutic anticoagulation in both. Among 522 patients who remained in sinus rhythm after LARFA, warfarin was discontinued in 79% of 256 patients without risk factors and in 68% of 266 patients with ≥1 risk factor. Patients older than 65 years or with a history of stroke were more likely to remain anticoagulated despite a successful outcome from LARFA. None of the patients in whom anticoagulation was discontinued had a TE during 25±8 months of follow-up. Conclusions— The risk of a TE after LARFA is 1.1%, with most events occurring within 2 weeks after the procedure. Discontinuation of anticoagulant therapy appears to be safe after successful LARFA, both in patients without risk factors for stroke and in patients with risk factors other than age >65 years and history of stroke. Sufficient safety data are as yet unavailable to support discontinuation of anticoagulation in patients older than 65 years or with a history of stroke.
Developmental aspects of parietal hemispheric asymmetry during mental rotation

Response times, accuracy and event-related potentials were measured in 24 children (mean age 7.6 years), 24 juveniles (11.4 years) and 24 adults (23.8 years) during a mental rotation task with letters. Response time and error rates increased with angular displacements for all age groups. Increasing accuracy with increasing age suggested that this task was more difficult for younger participants. An event-related potential amplitude modulation at parietal electrodes as a function of letter orientation was present for all age groups. The effect was lateralized to the left for children only, but was bilateral for adults, a finding in line with the idea of an analytic to holistic processing shift in cognitive development and a left-hemisphere involvement in analytic, piecemeal mental rotation.
Cystatin C and albuminuria as predictors of long‐term allograft outcomes in kidney transplant recipients

Although cystatin C (Cys) and albuminuria (Alb) are predictors of end‐stage renal disease in the general population, there are limited data about the performance of these markers alone or combined with respect to the prediction of the kidney transplant outcome. We assessed the ability of one‐yr creatinine (Cr), MDRD equation, Cys, Hoek equation, Alb, the logarithm of albuminuria (LogAlb), and two products of these variables for predicting death‐censored graft loss (DCGL) in 127 kidney transplant recipients. Mean follow‐up time was 5.6 ± 1.7 yr. During this time, 18 patients developed DCGL. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve for DCGL ranged from 71.1% to 85.4%, with Cys*LogAlb being the best predictor. Cys‐based variables and variables combining LogAlb and renal function estimates have better discrimination ability than Cr‐based variables alone. After multivariate analysis, quartiles of all one‐yr variables (except of Cr and MDRD) were independent predictors for DCGL. Predictors combining Alb and a Cr‐ or Cys‐based estimate of renal function performed better than those markers alone to predict DCGL. Cys‐based predictors performed better than Cr‐based predictors. Using a double‐marker in kidney transplantation, it is possible to identify the highest risk group in which to prioritize specialty care.
