Australian same-sex attracted women resisting sexism and homophobia: a qualitative investigation

The Australian Community Psychologist Volume 29 No 2 December 2018 © The Australian Psychological Society Ltd Same-sex attracted (SSA) women have a long history of experiencing institutional and interpersonal oppression in Australia (Altman, 2013). Although, research has explored the impacts of oppressive forces on the mental health and wellbeing of members of the SSA community, very little work has explored whether the homophobia experienced by Australian SSA women manifests in a gendered way that may be distinct from the experiences of other genders. Additionally, despite a rich body of literature on how SSA women resist oppression, research previously reported has yet to elucidate the psychological costs or benefits of SSA women's resistance within an Australian context. In recent times, there has been a movement to reduce homophobia and sexism in Australian culture (Altman, 2013), however, both homophobia and sexism are still an everyday occurrence in Australian society (Flood & Hamilton, 2005; Hillier et al., 2010, Leonard, et al., 2012). Research on Australian SSA young people conducted in 2010 found 61% of participants had experienced verbal abuse and 18% experienced physical abuse. Additionally, 69% reported other forms of enacted stigma, including rumours, homophobic language, cyber bullying, humiliation, and social exclusion (Hillier et al., 2010). The Australian Human Rights Commission (AHRC, 2014) reported that six out of 10 members of the SSA community experience verbal abuse, with 23% of SSA women reporting such abuse. Additionally, two out of 10 SSA people reported physical homophobic abuse. In terms of sexism, a recent report found that 63% of women and girls surveyed believed that gender inequality was still a problem in Australia (Our Watch, 2016). In addition, research has found that one in four Australian women are subjected to physical or sexual violence (ANROWS, 2015), 33% of Australian women have experienced sexual harassment (AHRC, 2012), and a significant number of women experience sexual harassment within their workplaces (21%; AHRC, 2012) or educational institutions (63%; AHRC, 2017). Homophobia experienced by SSA people has been empirically linked to an increased prevalence of mental illness compared to heterosexual people (Hatzenbuehler, 2009; Keleher, 2009; Lea, de Wit, & Reynolds, 2014; Lewis, Derlega, Griffin, & Krowinski, 2003; Lewis, Kholodkov, & Derlega, 2012; McDermott, 2006; Meyer, 2003). This increased incidence of mental illness in the SSA community has been empirically shown to be the result of “minority stress”, that is, the psychological distress caused by the conflict between a minority person's experience and the discriminatory and stigmatising values of the dominant culture they live in (Pachankis & Lick, 2017).

Revolutionary Therapies in Patients with Moderate-to-Severe IBD in 2018

There has been great progress towards the development of new agents for the treatment of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). New therapeutic avenues have become possible, including the development of agents that target specific genetic pathways found to be relevant in patients with IBD. Moderate-to-severe IBD patients have required an infusion or subcutaneous injection therapies in the past, but there is an influx of new oral medications in development and a promising one is already approved by the FDA, tofacitinib. We will summarize this progress in this editorial.

Predicting online repurchase intentions with e-satisfaction as mediator: a study on Gen Y

Purpose Shopping online is a fast-growing phenomenon. A look into the rapid exponential growth of the primary players in this sector shows huge market potential for e-commerce. Given the convenience of internet shopping, e-commerce is seen as an emerging trend among consumers, specifically the younger generation (Gen Y). The popularity of e-commerce and online shopping has captured the attention of e-retailers, encouraging researchers to focus on this area. This paper aims to examine the relationship between online repurchase intention and other variables such as security, privacy concerns, trust and ease of use (EOU), mediated by e-satisfaction. Design/methodology/approach A self-administered survey method is used, and students aged between 20 and 35 years at universities in northern India are selected as subjects. To test the hypotheses of this study, an online questionnaire is distributed to participants, with 309 legitimate responses received. The data are analyzed using SPSS version 20.0 and AMOS version 20.0. Structural equation modeling is used to examine the model and to test the hypotheses. Findings The results of this study show that security, privacy concerns, trust and EOU have a positive significant relationship with repurchase intention. The findings also reveal that e-satisfaction has a full mediation effect between security and repurchase intention and also between trust and repurchase intention. In addition, a partial mediation effect of e-satisfaction is noted between EOU and repurchase intention and between privacy concerns and repurchase intention. Practical implications The results show that security, trust, EOU and privacy concerns are the factors that have most impact on consumer purchasing behavior. In terms of the repurchase intention of Gen Y consumers, what is needed are strong security features, an easy-to-use interface, a trusted privacy policy and the creation of trust. Furthermore, it may be beneficial to observe e-satisfaction as a mediator when identifying potential problems; online satisfaction is important for the group in this study, and the results show that it impacts on the relation between repurchase intention and other factors. Social implications In terms of the repurchase intention of Gen Y consumers, what is needed are strong security features, an easy-to-use interface, a trusted privacy policy and the creation of trust. Furthermore, it may be beneficial to observe e-satisfaction as a mediator when identifying potential problems; online satisfaction is important for the group in this study, and the results show that it impacts on the relation between repurchase intention and other factors. Originality/value This research determines the impact of security, privacy concerns, EOU and trust on the online repurchasing behavior of Gen Y in India. The mediation effect of e-satisfaction is also determined.

Manufacturing of thin glass shells for future space telescopes

We present a method for the manufacturing of thin shells of glass, which appears promising for the production of lightweight mirrors for future space telescopes. The method exploits the synergy of different mature technologies, while it takes advantage of the commercial availability of large, high-quality sheets of glass, with thickness up to few millimeters. The first step of the method foresees the pre-shaping of flat substrates of glass by replicating the accurate shape of a mold via hot slumping technology. The replication concept can be strongly beneficial for making large optics composed of many identical or similar segments. After the hot slumping, the shape error residual on the optical surface is addressed by applying a deterministic sub-aperture technology as computer-controlled bonnet polishing and/or ion beam figuring. Here we focus on the bonnet polishing case, during which the thin, deformable substrate of glass is temporary stiffened by a removable holder. In this paper, we report on the latest results achieved on a 130 mm glass shell case study.
SUCCEEDING AT MASTER'S LEVEL: USING FACEBOOK LIVE TO AID INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS’ ACADEMIC SKILLS DEVELOPMENT

If international students (IS) are to succeed on their master’s degree (MA), they must develop their academic skills quickly. Academic skills development for IS is vitally important as it has been suggested that they can be particularly apprehensive about their academic performance (Fischbacker–Smith, MacVicar; McEwan, Cheng, Dendrinos, J. Adekola, Pringle-Barnes, Kerr and Miller 2015). This paper considers the use of Facebook (FB) as one specific strategy to aid the academic skills development of a group of IS undertaking education based MA. Whilst Hope (2016) suggests that using FB to develop and nurture learning communities can be far from certain, it has been suggested that FB offers a number of advantages as an educational tool. Using FB within a number of different educational contexts has been shown to aid both learning and performance (Wichadee 2013, Bahati, 2015; Balcikanli, 2015). Communication and the exchange of information can also be fostered through FB, with the potential for more fruitful engagement between students and teachers being evidenced (Magro, Sharp, Ryan and Ryan, 2013, Nalbone, Kovach, Fish, McCoy, Jones and Wright, 2016). Specifically, this paper documents and analyses the use of FB Live which offers live video streaming capabilities. Within this paper, academic skills development is viewed as an ongoing process, not something that takes place once, or at the beginning of a course. Throughout their course, ten FB Live sessions were offered to the IS (approximately one each month). The topic areas covered a number of different areas (writing, reading, critical analysis etc.) to aid IS academic skills development. To analyse FB and FB Live as an educational tool, four focus groups were undertaken, each consisting of seven participants. During each of the focus groups, IS were asked to think about the FB Live sessions they attended and whether they had enabled them to develop their academic skills. Feedback suggests that FB Live could be an important tool to aid the development of academic skills, with participants’ recommending a more structured approach to the use of FB Live, more interaction throughout the sessions, as well as additional sessions throughout the academic year.
No Structural Differences Are Revealed by VBM in 'De Novo' Parkinsonian Patients

The identification of brain morphological alterations in newly diagnosed PD patients (i.e. 'de novo') could potentially serve as a biomarker and accelerate diagnosis. However, presently no consensus exists in the literature possibly due to several factors: small size cohorts, differences in segmentation techniques or bad control of false positive rates. In this study, we use the CAT12 pipeline, to seek for morphological brain differences in gray and white matter of 66 controls and 144 de novo PD patients from the PPMI database. Moreover, we search for subcortical structure differences using the VolBrain pipeline. We found no structural brain differences in this de novo Parkinsonian population, neither in tissues using a whole brain analysis nor in any of nine subcortical structures analyzed separately. We conclude that some results published in the literature may appear as false positives and we contest their reproductibility.
Inteligencia emocional, sintomatología psicopatológica y rendimiento académico en estudiantes de Psicología de Buenos Aires

El objetivo del trabajo fue analizar la Inteligencia Emocional (IE), la Sintomatologia Psicopatologica (SP), y el Rendimiento Academico (RA) en estudiantes universitarios de Buenos Aires. La muestra fue de 299 estudiantes (81.6% Mujeres, 18.4% Hombres; Medad=25.32, DEedad=7.05). La recoleccion de datos se realizo con una encuesta de datos academico-sociodemograficos, el Inventario de Cociente Emocional, y el Symptom-CheckList-90-R. Los resultados obtenidos no evidenciaron diferencias estadisticamente significativas segun sexo en relacion a la IE, pero si fueron halladas respecto a sub-escalas de SP (p<.01; p<.05). La IE exhibio asociaciones bajas entre algunas dimensiones y variables de RA; adicionalmente se evidenciaron asociaciones bajas entre estas ultimas y sub-escalas de SP. Los resultados hallados se discuten a la luz de reportes internacionales y locales. En conclusion, mayores trabajos del ambito local son necesarios para clarificar la relacion entre el RA e IE y SP. Asimismo, una revision de los criterios locales de operacionalizacion del RA se torna imperante
Analysis of Writing Mistakes in University Student’s Essay

This research aimed to know about writing mistakes involving capital and italic letters in university students’ essay, especially capital and italic letters. The method of this research was qualitative descriptive. The data collected for this research consisted of writing mistakes involving capital and italic letters in university students’ essay. The technique of data analysis adopted in this study was a constant comparison. This study found that of 62 essay students analyzed, there were 132 capital letter writing mistakes that were divided into seven types: 1) incorrect capitalization in the first letter of sentences; 2) in writing someone’s name; 3) in writing the name of a lesson; 4) in writing title; 5) in the middle of sentences; 6) in writing abbreviation and acronym; and 7) in writing words that stand for abbreviation. Meanwhile, in italic writing, mistakes occurred only when students were writing foreign terms that remain written with an upright letter. This numbered to 123 mistakes. The results of this analysis indicated that there were still many common mistakes made by students, so in the future, there should be a follow-up so that similar mistakes do not
Geologic gestures: A new classification for embodied cognition in geology

Abstract Gestures are physical manifestations of cognitive processes. Geology students often use gestures to describe geologic features and processes. The gestures allow students to convey 3- and 4-dimensional information about the rocks. Studying and characterizing these gestures can be useful in understanding students’ learning processes; however, previous attempts to categorize gestures used in geologic contexts by existing classification schemes have been unsuccessful. The most commonly used schemes developed by cognitive science researchers are too simplistic to capture the full range of gestures used by students and professional geologists. Therefore, we have developed a new classification scheme to categorize the most common gestures we see being used in a geologic context. This classification scheme describes both the gesture type—the shape the hands make—and the gesture function—the meaning or purpose of the gesture. We used a hermeneutical approach to interpret gesture meaning, drawing from concurrent speech and contextual surroundings when the gestures were made. We categorized 5 gesture types: point, domain, flat-hand, frame, and form gestures. We categorized 11 gesture functions: tracing, highlighting, locational, directional, rotational, constraining, sizing, emphasis, sequential, illustrative, and constructive gestures. We subdivided gesture functions into first-order and second-order gesture functions, depending on their complexity. Through this classification scheme, we are able to categorize and describe the vast majority of gestures used in a geologic context. If we want to better understand how, when, and why geology students use gestures, and how those gestures communicate their conceptual understanding of geologic features and processes, we need a consistent vocabulary to describe it. This lexicon provides a necessary tool for future work in studying embodied cognition within a geologic context and for assessing students’ understanding of geologic concepts.
ONE TEACHER’S JOURNEY IN IMPLEMENTING AND LEARNING THROUGH SYMBOLIC LANGUAGES IN A PUBLIC KINDERGARTEN- A CASE STUDY

paintings Another theme emerged through analysis of what Ms. M. referred to as the children’s “abstract paintings”, an idea similar to Arnheim’s art thoughts (1990). Inspired by looking through a calendar of Eno River pictures, children used paintbrushes and multiple paints to express their feelings on paper about these pictures so that the paintings were supposed to revel children’s emotion and their fine motor skill. This was a very quiet and thoughtful activity, and children worked on their paintings without disturbing anyone. Typically, children at this age have developed fine motor skills that enable them to portray their thoughts and feelings in specific detail (Golom 1992; Lowenfeld, & Brittain, 1964;
Preparing Teachers for Rural Appointments

Rural schools face difficulties recruiting or retaining qualified teachers. Prospective teachers need help better understanding the nature of rural teaching. Despite many pluses, collegial isolation, low salaries, multiple grade or subject teaching assignments, and lack of familiarity with rural schools and communities are challenges to new teachers in rural schools. This study examined nine mid-continent institutions for five components identified as preparing and retaining teachers to teach in rural schools. From the 120 teacher preparation institutions in the mid-continent, 17 confirmed the existence of a rural program emphasis. Nine of the 17 had three or more rural programs. Three of the nine programs offered options for teachers to receive multiple certifications. As to access, seven of the nine programs offered online courses and four offered courses at more accessible community college campuses. Four of the nine recruited students from rural communities and two programs actively sought student teaching placements in rural schools.
Marital satisfaction and its associated factors at reproductive age women referred to health centers

BACKGROUND: Marital satisfaction, as one of the elements of family health, is affected by various factors such as social norms, customs, and expectations. Sexual self-efficacy as one of the important aspects of female sexual affairs may be related to the marital relationship. The aim of this study was to evaluate the related factors of marital satisfaction in Torbat Heydariyeh, Iran. METHODS: This research was a cross-sectional study performed on 350 married women in the reproductive age referred to health centers in Torbat Heydariyeh, Iran, in 2018. The data collection tools were Evaluation and Nurturing Relationship Issues, Communication, and Happiness Marital Satisfaction Questionnaire and a sexual self-efficacy questionnaire derived from Schwarzer general self-efficacy scale. The data were analyzed with Pearson's correlation coefficient and linear regression. A P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. RESULTS: The mean age of the participants was 30.85 ± 7.56 years. Most people had high sexual self-efficacy (51%) and relative and intermediate marital satisfaction (68%). There was also a significant relationship between sexual self-efficacy and marital satisfaction (P = 0.001). According to the linear regression test, only three variables of sexual self-efficacy, dyspareunia, and socioeconomic status explain 12% of the variance of marital satisfaction in women (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: The results indicated that sexual self-efficacy, dyspareunia, and socioeconomic status have significant relationship with marital satisfaction. Due to the significant relationship between sexual self-efficacy and marital satisfaction, some interventions to improve this aspect of sexual life may increase the satisfaction of individuals from marital life.
