Puerto Rican Parenting and Acculturation in Families Experiencing Substance Use and Intimate Partner Violence

This study investigated Puerto Rican families (n = 157) that contained at least one parent with a substance use disorder to describe the impact of acculturation, parenting, and intimate partner violence on child behavioral issues. Findings indicated that parental distress, parent–child dysfunctional interactions, and parental reinforcement had direct influences on child behavior problems for Puerto Ricans. Implications for social work practice are explored, such as an increased focus on the parenting experience, decreasing the stress of the parent, and increasing reinforcement of positive child behavior.
Technology adoption and gender-inclusive entrepreneurship education and training

Purpose Drawing on social feminist theory, this paper aims to close gaps between knowledge about gender-related barriers to information, communication and technology (ICT) adoption and the provision of entrepreneurship education and training (EET) programs. Design/methodology/approach Empirical findings are drawn from 21 semi-structured interviews (22 informants) possessing differing training expertise regarding digital technology among women entrepreneurs. An open-coding technique was adopted where descriptive codes were first assigned to meaningful statements. Interpretive and pattern codes were then assigned to indicate common themes and patterns, which were reduced to higher-order categories to inform the research questions. Findings The findings specify and validate further gender influences in the digital economy. Digital skills are identified, and strategies to close gender barriers to ICT adoption with EET are described. The findings are discussed in reference to a large-scale, Canadian ICT adoption program. Research limitations/implications Perceptual data may be idiosyncratic to the sample. The work did not control for type of technology. Gender influences may differ by type of technology. Practical implications Findings can be used to construct gender-inclusive ICT supports and inform ICT adoption policies. This includes program eligibility and evaluation criteria to measure the socio-economic impacts. Originality/value The study is among the first to examine the intersection between knowledge about gender-related barriers to ICT adoption and EET. The findings can be adopted to ICT support programs targeted at small business owners and entrepreneurs.
Factors Influencing Online Purchase Intention with The Mediating Role of Customer Satisfaction

The purpose of the paper is to determine the mediating role of customer satisfaction between celebrity endorsement, brand equity, corporate social responsibility and online purchase intention in Pakistan. Some 600 questionnaires were distributed among consumers for data collection through convenience sampling. Out of these, 398 questionnaires were returned, 14 questionnaires had some missing values and were removed from the sample; only 384 questionnaires were finally used in the analysis. Punjab has a total of 36 districts and data were collected from 16 districts having the majority of the population. PLS-SEM was used for data analysis. Results reveal that only celebrity endorsement has a direct influence on online purchase intention. Furthermore, independent variables have a significant influence on customer satisfaction. Customer satisfaction significantly mediates between celebrity endorsement, brand equity, corporate social responsibility, and online purchase intention. This study contributes to practice in that online retailers can consider celebrity endorsement, brand equity, corporate social responsibility, and customer satisfaction in their decision to enhance online purchase intention. This paper is one of the pioneer studies that determine celebrity endorsement, brand equity, and corporate social responsibility at second-order with customer satisfaction as a mediating variable with online purchase intention.
Spatial trajectories in early life: Moving on or returning home?

This paper investigates the residential mobility patterns of young adults upon leaving home, with an emphasis on the role of life course events in determining return migration to the home region. Using longitudinal register data for the Netherlands, the analysis shows that parental ties serve as an anchor attracting returnees: young adults appear to return to their home region when their parents still live in the region. This is more pronounced for women. It seems that women are more likely to return to provide assistance to parents, and men's return is more motivated by receiving assistance. The return inclination of men is, for instance, primarily induced by family life events, such as having children and becoming a lone father. The propensity for return is lower for graduates, young adults with a higher income, and individuals originating from less urbanised areas.
Structured and Unstructured Regulation Priming Induction and Effects on Task Performance

Self-regulation has been investigated on the past decades in many fields, and even though contributions have enlightened the understanding of a vast array of behaviors, the development of general explanatory models hardly reaches a consensus. Even relatively consensual theories like ego depletion have been recently questioned, and researchers are still in search of better models to describe the self-regulatory processes. A recent contribution on the field suggests that the presence or absence of goals may lead to different self-regulatory states, named as structured and unstructured regulation. No further attempts on this line of research have been made, even though it has potential to give significant contributions. The main objective of this thesis is to develop an explanatory model of self-regulation, based on the suggested self-regulatory states, which is hereby named structured and unstructured self-regulation model (SUSR). To develop the model, a sequence of experiments was designed and executed to test if the model is feasible and which variables are important to the process as moderators (experiments 1 and 2). Also, the information processing and the subsequent responses were investigated (experiment 3), and, as an attempt to verify a practical use of the model, its effects on sports performance were evaluated (experiment 4). Results suggest that the model is feasible, goal presence had different kinds of effects throughout the experiments and some of the moderators need to be further investigated, such as self-control and self-efficacy.
Equipping Youth with Agripreneurship and Other Valuable Life Skills by Linking Secondary Agricultural Education to Communities for Improved Livelihoods: A Comparative Analysis of Project-based Learning in Uganda

This study sought to assess how a project-based learning (PBL) approach involving agripreneurship enhanced students’ understanding and application of poultry science knowledge and concepts and related entrepreneurial competencies learned at school to real-world settings. Further, the participants’ experiences were described regarding school-based, agripreneurial projects (SAPs) and their potential for improving agricultural practices and livelihood opportunities. This study employed an embedded mixed methods design (Creswell & Plano Clark, 2011). Quantitative data from 280 participants were analyzed and reported. Further, an ANCOVA was conducted (Cook & Campbell, 1979) to determine if statistically significant interactions or differences existed between the treatment and counterfactual groups, including differences between sexes. Seven of the study’s 10 null hypotheses were rejected. A statistically significant (p < .01) interaction with a medium effect size was found between students’ group and sex for posttest scores of poultry science knowledge depending on the instructional approach used. A statistically significant (p < .01) main effect existed between groups for perceived agripreneurship competencies depending on instructional approach. Statistically significant (p < .01) main effects with a small effect size existed between the groups and sexes regarding the students’ likelihood to become agripreneurs in the future. A significant (p < .05) association with a small effect size was found between the treated students’ sexes and their intent to become agripreneurs in the future, among other significant relationships. More females than males in the treatment group indicated being either likely or highly likely to become agripreneurs. Regarding the qualitative data, the themes emanating from the students’ and adult facilitators’ experiences with the treatment also indicated improvements in students’ poultry science knowledge as well as their understanding of agripreneurial concepts. Further, qualitative findings indicated the treated students acquired a variety of technical and life skills. A need exists to integrate PBL approaches in the curriculum to increase the likelihood of students’ better understanding agricultural and entrepreneurial concepts and apply such to solve challenges in their communities. Due to contradictory results, additional research should examine the impact of using various teaching approaches on students’ performance by sex regarding their acquisition of poultry science knowledge.
The Role Of Job Satisfaction On The Relationship Between Self-Leadership And Organizational Citzenship Behavior

The analysis used is the test of validity, reliability test, multiple regression,sobel test, and hypothesis testing. The results of the study show that job satisfaction canmediate between self leadership and organizational citizenship behavior
The Initial Development of Voice Onset Time in Early Successive French-Swedish Bilinguals

This chapter explores the initial development of VOT in three Swedish-speaking learners of French (age of onset: 3;0-3;5). Swedish uses long lag and short lag/lead to differentiate voiceless and voiced stops word-initially (Helgasson & Ringen 2008; Sundberg & Lacerda 1999). In French this distinction is made using short lag and lead (Kessinger och Blumstein 1997). Through a memory game word-initial stops were elicited in three vocalic contexts. French and Swedish productions from three recordings were analysed (at 10, 19 and 29 months of exposure). Data was also collected from age-matched simultaneous bilinguals (n = 3) and French-speaking monolinguals (n = 2). The successive bilinguals separate the two languages in the first recording. Initial French productions appear influenced by Swedish VOT but later align with the data from the monolinguals and simultaneous bilinguals. The successive bilinguals’ Swedish VOT indicates a delay compared to monolingual development as reported in the literature. This was also the case for the simultaneous bilinguals. Results are discussed with regards to factors such as bilingual frequency and markedness (see Lleo & Cortes 2013).
Participative leadership and hierarchical structures in multiple perpetrator rape: replicating and extending a scale of influence among offenders

ABSTRACT This paper replicates and extends Porter and Alison’s (2001. A partially ordered scale of influence in violent group behavior: An example from gang rape. Small Group Research, 32(4), 475–497) method of leader identification in Multiple Perpetrator Rape (MPR). The study examined 216 MPR offences (totalling 712 different offenders), collected from archival sources (predominantly law reports). Porter and Alison’s original coding scheme was refined and Multidimensional Scaling identified a partially ordered scale of influence based upon the decisions, actions and orders made by the offenders at each chronological offence stage. The updated scale identified leaders in 97% of the sample groups. The hierarchical structures of the groups were also examined through the distribution of influence among co-offenders. While the majority (68%) of cases exhibited a dichotomous leader/follower structure, some “followers” also exhibited influence tactics to varying degrees with the presence of “lieutenants” and linear hierarchies. The findings are discussed in relation to group dynamics as well as the reliability and validity of the influence scale.
Relationships between self-efficacy beliefs, engagement and academic performance in math lessons

This study investigated secondary school sixth, seventh and eighth graders’ self-efficacy beliefs, engagement and disaffection in Math lessons and academic achievement in relation to learning Mathematics and Math performance. The study was conducted with the voluntary participation of 651 sixth, seventh and eighth graders attending secondary school. Research data were collected with the help of ‘Engagement and Disaffection Scale’, ‘Self-Efficacy sub dimension’ of ‘Motivation Scale’ related to learning and performance and students’ Math first semester grades. It was identified in the study that students’ self-efficacy beliefs in learning and performance in Math significantly and positively predicted their Math achievement. Behavioural and affective disaffection in Math lessons were found to predict Math achievement negatively. It was determined in the study that students’ self-efficacy beliefs related to learning and performance in Math significantly predicted their behavioural and affective engagement in Math positively while predicting their behavioural and affective disaffection negatively. Keywords: Math, engagement, self-efficacy, academic achievement.
Routine Influences on Aquaculture News Selection: A Q Method Study With New England Journalists

Environmental journalists, as gatekeepers, often become arbiters of risk and benefit information. This study explores how their routine news value judgments may influence reporting on marine aquaculture, a growing domestic industry with complex social and ecological impacts. We interviewed New England newspaper journalists using Q methodology, a qualitative dominant mixed-method approach to study shared subjectivity in small samples. Results revealed four distinct reporting perspectives—“state structuralist,” “neighborhood preservationist,” “industrial futurist,” and “local proceduralist”—stemming from the news value and objectivity routines journalists used in news selection. Findings suggest implications for public understanding of, and positionality toward, natural resource use and development.
Global Liquidity, Money Growth and UK Inflation

This paper uses tools from the classical theory of inflation for UK Consumer Price Inflation from 1970Q1 to 2017Q4. In particular, we adopt augmented Phillips curve type equations within a linear and regime-switching framework where regimes are governed by previous inflation rates. Our non-linear models show that a monetary explanation of inflation is prominent during periods of high inflation. However our models imply that during periods of high inflation, The Bank of England should monitor monetary conditions in conjunction with monetary policy stance; as these can help dampen inflation persistence.
Goalkeepers’ rating, evaluation and classification, according to the number of games, participation time and effectiveness at the Women’s European Handball Championship in 2018

ABSTRACT Nowadays there is a rapid growth in female handball but little research data. This study aimed to rate, evaluate and classify the goalkeepers according to the number of games, participation time and effectiveness of 33 female goalkeepers during Women’s European Championship (2018). The variables were the throws received by the goalkeepers and the saves they made. Based on criteria goalkeepers were categorised into three categories of performance: Class A, Class B and Class C. The method applied was descriptive and inferential statistics. The Kruskal–Wallis test was used to compare the differences among the three performance classes. The Mann–Whitney U test was applied to compare the differences among the three performance classes for the aforementioned variables. The final ranking of the 33 goalkeepers, differed from the official ranking. Kruskal–Wallis analysis revealed significant differences among the classes A, B and C (p < 05). Mann–Whitney U test revealed that Class A differed significantly from B and C classes (p < 05). Class B differed significantly from Class C (p < 05). In conclusion, in order to rate goalkeeper’s performance, not only the effectiveness should be measured, but also the number of games and the exact playing time.

Victims’ experiences and satisfaction with a family justice center

Purpose The family justice center (FJC) model centralizes social and legal services available to intimate partner abuse (IPA) victims in order to facilitate their help-seeking and improve their experiences and the response to IPA. Little, yet promising, research has highlighted the effectiveness of this model. The purpose of this paper is to explore experiences of victims of IPA at one FJC. Design/methodology/approach In total, 24 respondents who utilized a FJC in a western county in the USA were interviewed using a survey that included both descriptive quantitative and qualitative questions. Descriptive analysis was performed on the quantitative portion and content analysis on the qualitative portion. Findings Most of the respondents used the FJC multiple times and for multiple services. Most were referred by a shelter or a hotline. The most common services used were housing services, followed by counseling. Overall, these respondents felt supported by FJC staff and were satisfied. However, some of the respondents who did indicate satisfaction in the quantitative portion of the survey expressed concerns in the qualitative portion. Research limitations/implications The study is limited by a small sample size; however, it has implications for recruitment, outreach and training as well as methodological implications for how FJCs should be evaluated. Originality/value This paper adds to the scant literature on FJCs and the FJC model.
Screening of problem gambling among a homeless population in Warsaw

Background: While homelessness and problem gambling are both recognised as social and public health concerns and the prevalence of addictive disorders among homeless populations tends to be high. These questions have been studied predominantly independently. Aim: The aim of the study was to explore the co-occurrence of the two phenomena among the homeless population using shelters and night shelters in Warsaw, and, more specifically, to provide information about the forms and frequency of gambling in this homeless population. Method: Homeless persons (N = 690) were interviewed in rehabilitation-shelters (n = 17) and night-shelters (n = 2) in Warsaw from November 2015 until January 2016. The core component of the questionnaire was a screening test (Problem Gambling Severity Index). In addition, data regarding the intensity of gambling and various types of games or settings were collected. Results: The prevalence of problem gambling in this population of homeless people was 11.3%, whereas the prevalence of problem gambling in the general population in Poland is much lower (0.7%). Similarly to the general population, the most prevalent gambling games in the homeless population were lotteries; however, homeless people gambled in lotteries almost three times more often compared to the general population. Conclusions: This is the first study examining the prevalence of problem gambling in the homeless population in Poland. The findings of the study suggest that problem gambling among the homeless is a significant social and public health concern. High rates of problem gambling in the homeless population show the need to identify and monitor this problem in shelters and consequently to provide easier access to gambling treatment or prevention programmes.
Semantic feature dissociation: A new hypothesis concerning autism

ABSTRACT In this paper, I outline a new candidate hypothesis concerning autism: Semantic Feature Dissociation (SFD). This is the claim that, in some cases of autism, connections between feature representations in semantic memory may be weaker. More specifically, connections representing low-strength correlations may be disproportionately lost. I demonstrate the wide-ranging effects this change would have by introducing two analytical categories, concept narrowing (CN) (a tendency to make fewer inferences from the same concepts) and concept specialization (CS) (a tendency to be sensitive to fewer cues in categorization). Presenting the results of a novel qualitative study of autism autobiographies, I show that SFD can plausibly explain many common autism traits, as described by autistic autobiographers. I conclude by considering how far this account might generalize, and how it might be related to existing theories of autism.

Is Momentum an Echo?

Abstract In the United States, momentum portfolios formed from 12 to 7 months prior to the current month deliver higher future returns than momentum portfolios formed from 6 to 2 months prior, suggesting an “echo” in returns. In 37 countries excluding the United States, there is no robust evidence of such an echo. In portfolios that combine securities in developed and emerging markets, or across three major geographic regions (Americas excluding United States, Asia, and Europe), there is also no evidence of an echo. Any echo in the United States appears to be driven largely by a carryover of short-term reversals from month − 2.
