PROTOCOL: COURT‐MANDATED INTERVENTIONS FOR INDIVIDUALS CONVICTED OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE: A Campbell Collaboration Systematic Review

Background: Survey research and analysis of police records, hospital emergency rooms and women's shelters have clearly established the severity of the domestic violence problem and the need to find programs to address this issue. Today, court‐mandated batterer intervention programs (BIPs) are being implemented throughout the United States as one of the leading methods to address this problem. These programs emerged from the women's shelter movement and therefore contained a strong feminist orientation. They developed as group‐based programs, typically using psychoeductional methods. Their aim was to get men to take responsibility for their sexist beliefs and stop abusing their partners by teaching them alternative responses for handling their anger. Objectives: The aim of this systematic review is to assess the effects of post‐arrest court‐mandated interventions (including pre‐trial diversion programs) for domestic violence offenders that target, in part or exclusively, batterers with the aim of reducing their future likelihood of re‐assaulting above and beyond what would have been expected by routine legal procedures. Search Strategies: We plan to search numerous computerized databases and websites, bibliographies of published reviews of related literature and scrutinize annotated bibliographies of related literature. Our goal is to identify all published and unpublished literature that met our selection criteria. Selection Criteria: We plan to include experimental or rigorous quasi‐experimental evaluations of court‐mandated batter intervention programs that measured official or victim reports of future domestic violent behavior. Rigorous quasi‐experimental designs are defined as those that either use matching or statistical controls to improve the comparability of the groups. Given their importance in the literature, we will also include rigorous quasi‐experimental designs that used a treatment drop‐out comparison. Data Collection and Analysis: We plan to code characteristics of the treatment, sample, outcomes, and research methods. Findings will be extracted in the form of an effect size and effect sizes will be analyzed using the inverse‐variance method of meta‐analysis. Official report and victim report outcomes will be analyzed separately as will be the different design types (i.e, random, quasi‐experimental with a no treatment comparison, and quasi‐experimental with a treatment dropout comparison).
The Effects of Task Complexity, Strategic Planning and No Planning on EFL Students` Narrative Writing Performance

This study examined the effects of task complexity and strategic planning and no planning on written narrative production under different task complexity conditions by 120 second-year English major students from AL-Ma’aref High Institute for Languages and Translation. Task complexity was manipulated along Robinson’s (2001b) proposed task complexity dimension of Here-and-Now (simple) vs. There-and-Then (complex) in. Accordingly, three specific measures of the written narratives were targeted, i.e. complexity, accuracy and fluency (CAF). Planning was operationalized at two levels: pretask planning (PTP) and no planning (NP). Participants of this study were four groups, the pre-task planning (PTP) and Here-and-Now (HN), pre-task planning (PTP) and There-and-Then (TT), no planning (NP) and Here-and-Now (HN), or no planning (NP) and There-and-Then (TT) groups. The findings of the study indicated that with respect to complexity, accuracy and fluency, the effects of both task complexity and planning conditions were found significant. More complexity, accuracy, and fluency were found in the complex task with the participants under planned condition. Also, the findings revealed that giving students time to plan before commencing the task, leading them to better performance. The pedagogical implications are discussed with reference to the influence of task complexity and planning conditions on text quality.
Personal growth initiative: Relation to Hedonia and Eudaimonia happiness among South African university students

This study examined the relationship between personal growth initiative (PGI) and hedonic and eudaimonic happiness among a sample of South African university students (N = 235; mean age = 20.38, SD = 1.55; female = 61.70%). Students completed measures on personal growth initiative, hedonic happiness, and eudaimonic happiness. Regression analysis indicated personal growth initiative to positively predict students’ reported scores on hedonic and eudaimonic measures. The findings underscore the importance of PGI among student populations in advancing well-being among university students. It is proposed that higher education student development and support services should tap into PGI as a resource for enhancing student self-directed change and happiness.
Examining the Intersection of Addiction and Issues of Ability in Canada

Nearly 2 million Canadians report some form of ability issue. Levels of addiction among these individuals are upward of 60% greater than within the general Canadian population, yet they have significantly lower rates of treatment participation. Lower rates of treatment are due to a variety of reasons, including physical, attitudinal, and programming barriers that are often insurmountable for individuals living with disabilities who wish to access substance abuse treatment. Three areas of ability issues that overlap with addiction are examined in detail—traumatic injury, including brain and spinal cord injury; sensory disabilities that include those living with visual and hearing limitations; and mobility impairments—to highlight gaps in the current treatment continuum in Canada.

The appropriation of traditional media content in online contexts: A South Korean textbook case

ABSTRACT This study explores the appropriation of traditional media content in an online protest context and highlights the significance of legacy media to activists’ communication practices online. Appropriation refers to the direct transfer of content originally produced in traditional media into social media posts. Focusing on the massive 2015 South Korean protests in opposition to the government’s decision to issue a single state-history textbook, a content analysis of activists’ posts on three social media platforms finds that activists utilize traditional media content to a greater degree than personalized action frames. Interviews suggest that activists are motivated to appropriate legacy media’s content by their need for legitimacy and expediency. Platform type was closely associated with the frequency and type of activists’ appropriation.
Comparing Two Methods of Education on First Aid Knowledge among SaudiFootball Players: An Experimental Study Design

Background: Football injuries account for more than half of all sports injuries, of which 10% require inpatient hospital management. Athletes in general and football players in specific are more prone to injuries since football is considered to be a contact sport. Thus, first aid management helps to treat common football injuries like bruises, sprains, and strains, none of which are particularly serious. However, although severe injuries are rare, knowing how to recognize them is essential so that appropriate action can be taken. The aim of this study is to assess and compare first aid knowledge among Saudi football players before and after the administration of two methods of education (lecture versus lecture and hands-on training). Methods: A representative clustered stratified sample of football players from football clubs in 10 regions across Saudi Arabia between August 2017 and July 2018 were recruited. First, a pre-tested self-administered questionnaire was filled by all participants; then players were randomly assigned either to lectures and hands-on training (experimental group) or lectures only (control group). A well-structured questionnaire consisting of 44 questions in addition to the demographic profile. Both groups were evaluated and compared in terms of first aid knowledge just after completion of the two educational methods. Results: A total of 321 football players (mean age: 26.52 ± 10.31 years) were included. Furthermore, the total mean knowledge score of the study group (81.45 ± 12.05) was significantly higher (p<0.001) in comparison with that of the control group (65.92 ± 21.24). Conclusion: The first aid training program was overall effective in enhancing the knowledge of football players. The combined intervention including lectures and hands-on training had a better impact as compared to lectures only.

Authentic Assessment Awareness for Assessing Students’ Speaking Ability in a Suburban Indonesian EFL Classroom

The postponed implementation of 2013 curriculum in several regions in Indonesia has made some schools have implemented authentic assessment while other schools have not. This study aimed to investigate English classroom speaking assessment along with the teacher's perceptions of the authentic assessment and to observe the feasibility of fostering authentic assessment to assess students’ speaking ability. The qualitative method has been used in this study. Field note classroom observation, document observation, and semi-structural interview with the teacher was used to obtain the data. The findings show that even though the classroom has not implemented authentic assessment to assess student speaking ability, the classroom has used authentic material in some topics of learning. Moreover, issues such as time constraint and classroom time management, students learning motivation, teacher teaching practice and the demand of current curriculum become some challenges as well as opportunities need to be contemplated and reflected to implement authentic speaking assessment effectively. Keywords—2013 curriculum; authentic assessment; authentic material; speaking task; students center; teacher’s perceptions
Self-efficacy among Special Education Teachers Who Teach Students Diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder

The purpose of this quantitative study is to determine the relationship between perceived self-efficacy and work engagement among teachers of students diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Self-Efficacy data will be gathered using the Ohio version of the Teachers’ Sense of Efficacy Scales (TSES-T) and the student engagement, classroom management and the instructional strategies sub-scales. Work engagement will be evaluated using the Utrecht Work Engagement Total Scale. Participants will be 66 special education teachers who teach students diagnosed with ASD. A bivariate correlational design employing a Pearson correlation analysis was used to determine if there is a significant relationship between work engagement and perceived self-efficacy as measured by the TSES-T subscales consisting of; instructional strategies, classroom management, and student engagement, among special education teachers who teach students with ASD. The results revealed that special education teachers believed that they have the ability to cope with teaching ASD students (self-efficacy) and that they have significant influence on the workplace environment (the agentic aspect of social cognitive theory).
Do Work Ethics Improves Employee Job Satisfaction? Insights from Jordanian Banks

Ethics is a very crucial to understand how well an employee is doing. Ethics of work shows how much an employee value them. Thus, this study examines the impact of strong work ethics on job satisfaction among banking employees in Jordan. There has been growing evidence supporting the association between work ethics and job satisfaction of employees. However, it is not clear why such association exists. This paper argues that in order to provide a clear understanding and convincing explanation of this association there is a need to improve the theoretical and analytical framework. Quantitative method with survey questionnaire was administered to collect information on work ethics and job satisfaction from 89 employees working in Jordanian banks. The finding of the study revealed that work ethics are positively associated with job satisfaction. These findings imply that work ethics is one of the key attributes to increase employee’s job satisfaction together with other organizational outcomes. Most importantly, it is crucial for the managers to be aware that increasing employee’s job satisfaction can lead to increased organizational commitment, lower labor turnover and improve productivity.
On closings: Diners, porn theaters, & schools

The names all seem a bit mundane: Little Pete’s; The Big Apple; University City High School; Cup & Saucer; Variety Playhouse; Jamaica High School; Market Diner; Cats; and Key Elementary. To the unaffiliated, they might just sound like the everyday names of everyday institutions. Their evocations resonate with the quotidian rather than the spectacular. And, I believe, that is an important part of this story. These were the names of everyday places for everyday people, their specialness a result of their prosaic asceticand aesthetic-ness, rather than glitz, glamor, or gimmick. Some were spaces that people attended everyday, others with ritual itinerancy, others just whenever possible. They were places that, for many (though not for all), provided important modes of orientation and sanctuary in a world often disorienting and, truly, without sanctuary. These diners, porn theaters, and schools were places that often exceeded their pragmatic surfaces of food, desire, and education, providing pasture for belonging and pleasure. Were, as they are now closed. The past tense conditions a mode of orientation toward these three kinds of institutions that might seem like unlikely company. That they have been and continue to be shuttered as victims in the current regime of “urban development” and gentrification is only one shared aspect of the story as to how and why they emerged in my life as a trio. The other reason stems from the responses that were said, written, made, and offered about them during and after their eventual closure. In their wake, the communities that
The Correlation Between Manager Work-life Balance and Employee Engagement

The Correlation Between Manager Work-life Balance and Employee Engagement by Keith Murvin MA, Webster University, 1990 BA, North Carolina Central University, 1987 Proposal Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Management Walden University May 2019 Abstract Globalization, 24-hour connectivity, and the expectation that members of the organization commit increasingly more time to work are the reality in an ever-changing environment. Research shows, however, that these demands have resulted in a significant work-life imbalance that produces the opposite effect of reducing productivity. The purpose of this study was toGlobalization, 24-hour connectivity, and the expectation that members of the organization commit increasingly more time to work are the reality in an ever-changing environment. Research shows, however, that these demands have resulted in a significant work-life imbalance that produces the opposite effect of reducing productivity. The purpose of this study was to examine the correlation between work life balance satisfaction of front-line managers and the engagement of employees whom they supervise. The variables of these study were: work life balance satisfaction of frontline managers measured by Work life Balance and Emotional Support Scale and engagement perception employees measured by Employee Engagement Survey. Survey data from front-line managers and front-line employees from different industries across the United States were analyzed using a Bivariate Pearson Correlation test to understand the strength of the correlation. The study results r (89) = 0.115, p>. 01showed no statistically significant correlation between managers work life balance satisfaction and employee engagement. Work-life imbalances create a significant internal conflict as the manager tries to cope with the stress and pressure that affect his/her overall ability to effectively lead and manage. Their work behaviors can promote or destroy a positive work environment where employees strive to meet the organization’s mission and vision. The organization and front-line managers benefit from understanding the findings because the organization may adopt innovative ways to support manager work-life balance and front-line managers may improve employee engagement. Positive social change is realized in less stress for managers and employees whom interact in an environment that demands more time and flexibility. Considering the amount of time, we spend at work, less stress can improve the overall quality of the work environment and productivity.

Propuestas musicales para modular la memoria verbal emocional de adultos jóvenes con o sin entrenamiento musical

En los últimos años, los estudios sobre el efecto cognitivo de la música, se han focalizado en la búsqueda de actividades y estimulaciones que permitan modular las funciones cognitivas, entre ellas la memoria. El objetivo del presente artículo fue indagar el efecto del aprendizaje musical y el uso de intervenciones musicales focales sobre la memoria de tipo verbal, para lo cual se contó con la participación voluntaria de adultos jóvenes músicos y no músicos, los cuales aprendieron una lista de palabras, seguido de la participación en una actividad musical de reproducción o improvisación musical, contando con un grupo control de descanso. Finalmente, se evaluó la memoria a través de dos tareas de evocación (recuerdo libre y reconocimiento) de manera inmediata y diferida (7 días después). Los resultados obtenidos, a través del análisis de covarianza, indicaron que las propuestas musicales modularon positivamente la memoria, encontrando diferencias entre la reproducción y la improvisación musical. Por otra parte, se halló que las personas consideradas músicos exhibieron un mejor rendimiento en la tarea mnémica. Estos hallazgos permiten identificar las potencialidades de la música, específicamente el aprendizaje musical y la exposición a propuestas focales, como moduladores de la cognición humana.
Immersive Virtual Reality as an Adjunctive Non-opioid Analgesic for Pre-dominantly Latin American Children With Large Severe Burn Wounds During Burn Wound Cleaning in the Intensive Care Unit: A Pilot Study

Background/Aim: Using a within-subjects, within-wound care design, this pilot study tested for the first time, whether immersive virtual reality (VR) can serve as an adjunctive non-opioid analgesic for children with large severe burn wounds during burn wound cleaning in the ICU, in a regional burn center in the United States, between 2014–2016. Methods: Participants included 48 children from 6 years old to 17 years of age with >10% TBSA burn injuries reporting moderate or higher worst pain during no VR on Day 1. Forty-four of the 48 children were from developing Latin American countries. Patients played adjunctive SnowWorld, an interactive 3D snowy canyon in virtual reality during some portions of wound care, vs. No VR during comparable portions of the same wound care session (initial treatment condition randomized). Using Graphic Rating scales, children's worst pain ratings during “No VR” (treatment as usual pain medications) vs. their worst pain during “Yes VR” was measured during at least 1 day of wound care, and was measured for up to 10 study days the patient used VR. Results: VR significantly reduced children's “worst pain” ratings during burn wound cleaning procedures in the ICU on Day 1. Worst pain during No VR = 8.52 (SD = 1.75) vs. during Yes VR = 5.10 (SD = 3.27), t(47) = 7.11, p < 0.001, SD = 3.33, CI = 2.45–4.38, Cohen's d = 1.03 (indicating large effect size). Patients continued to report the predicted pattern of lower pain and more fun during VR, during multiple sessions. Conclusion: Immersive virtual reality can help reduce the pain of children with large severe burn wounds during burn wound cleaning in the Intensive Care Unit. Additional research and development is recommended.
