How Parent Communication and the Use of Contingencies Relate to the Responding of Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder During a Compliance Task

How Parent Communication and the Use of Contingencies Relate to the Responding of Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder During a Compliance Task Elizabeth Ellen Snell I conducted a descriptive analysis of the effectiveness of how mothers communicate with their children during a compliance task and whether the mothers’ observed effectiveness related to their self-reported, self-efficacy scores. Participants consisted of 37 mother-child dyads in which the children were preschool-aged and were diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). I observed and transduced the mothers’ antecedents and consequences, as well as the children’s responses, using prerecorded videos that contained a 2-min compliance task (cleaning up after a free-play session). The procedure consisted of identifying the mothers’ antecedents and the consequences for the child’s behaviors and determining their form. Mothers’ forms were classified as being either vocal, combined, or nonvocal. The children of the study were classified by their level of verbal development using the Verbal Behavior Developmental AssessmentRevised (VBDA-R). The two levels of verbal development utilized for this study were the foundational level and the listener level. Results of the study indicated: 1) mothers of children at both the foundational and listener levels of verbal development were more likely to use a combined approach for antecedents and a vocal approach for consequences, 2) mothers did not significantly differ in their form when communicating based on their child’s level of verbal development, 3) children at both levels of verbal development emitted almost equally low levels of correct responding, 4) more antecedents emitted by mothers across both levels of verbal development were correlated with higher incorrect responding by their children, 5) for children at the foundational level of verbal development, higher incorrect responses were correlated with more combined interactions (antecedents and consequences summed), and for children at the listener level of verbal development, higher incorrect responses were correlated with more vocal interactions (antecedents and consequences summed), 6) mothers of children at either level of verbal development did not significantly differ in their use of contingent consequences, 7) contingent disapprovals were positively correlated with incorrect responses for children at the listener level of verbal development, 8) contingent corrections were positively correlated with incorrect responding for children at both levels of verbal development, 9) mothers’ reported selfefficacy was not correlated to their child’s level of verbal development, nor was it correlated with their child’s correct or incorrect responding.
Corporate Governance and Disclosure of Information on Corporate Social Responsibility: An Analysis of the Top 200 Universities in the Shanghai Ranking

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and its disclosure in the university environment is a topic of current relevance, as it makes the entities’ commitments visible and provides indicators that enable them to improve the institution management and communication with stakeholders. The goal of this study is to determine to what extent the structure and mechanisms for governance and the demands of stakeholders influence policy for disclosing CSR information, both in general (more related to a strategic perspective) and specifically (more focused on specific social, environmental, economic, and educational issues). The results of our analysis of a sample of the top 200 universities in the Shanghai Ranking show no association of the profile and gender of the university’s rector and frequency of board meetings with CSR disclosure policy, but leadership team, the size of governance board, committees in the governance board and stakeholder participation are factors determining disclosure of information on matters of CSR. The results show that proximity to the day-to-day, diversification of functions, and communication with interest groups are crucial to transparency and disclosure of CSR information.
An Investigation of the Effects of the Official Development Assistance on GDP Per Capita in Pakistan

In similar manner inflation also became negatively significant in the short and long run. Additionally, lag GDP per capita is positively significant. Population growth turned positively significant in the long run. In addition, it has become negatively significant in the short-run period of time. Furthermore, the Error Correction coefficient is –0. 83% and remained significant
THE ROLE OF VETERINARY MEDICINE IN WILDLIFE REHABILITATION

The importance of wildlife rehabilitation efforts is the subject of much controversy and discussion.2 3'5'7-'0 Many emotional and political issues of importance to humans, as well as medical and biological issues of im portance to animals, are involved. The goal of this editorial is to explore some of these complicated issues and to put them in per spective so that rational policy decisions can be made when planning to rescue or reha bilitate wildlife. Veterinarians should be part of the process of shaping this policy at all governmental levels. An important first consideration is the legality of the rehabilitation effort and the species involved. A federal permit is re quired to pick up and transport, or have in possession, any marine mammal or migra tory bird (alive or dead). Any endangered species is even more highly regulated. States usually require a permit or license to possess or care for any protected species of bird or mammal. Sometimes there are local zoning ordinances or requirements for possession or housing that ban or restrict numbers of certain species or that specify housing guidelines. If rehabilitation facilities are open to tours or viewing by the public, they may be regulated under the same USDA guidelines for animal welfare to which zoos and research facilities are subject. In gen eral, permits and licenses should not be is sued without considering the adequacy of the facilities and the abilities of the reha bilitator. Dedication is certainly an impor tant quality for a wildlife rehabilitator to
Assessment of Patient Radiation Dose during Conventional Diagnostic X-ray Examinations in Three Public Hospitals in Northern Jordan using TLDs

Abstract This study aims to measure entrance surface doses during routine chest and abdomen x-ray examinations of adult and child patients. Radiation dose measurements were performed using thermoluminescent dosimeters TLD-100s in three major public hospitals in northern Jordan on a total of 100 patients. Wide variations in entrance surface doses were observed within and between hospitals, which might be attributed to significant variations of the selected exposure parameters. For adult patients, the results have shown that the majority of entrance surface dose values from both chest and abdomen examinations were within recommended values of diagnostic reference levels. For child patients, the mean entrance surface dose from chest examinations in three age groups were 0.131 mGy (0–1 y), 0.136 mGy (1–5 y), and 0.191 mGy (5–10 y). These values were considered relatively high compared to the European reference levels and published results in the literature. However, for abdomen examinations, entrance surface dose values were relatively lower than European reference levels. Patient effective doses were estimated using a PCXMC 2.0 Monte Carlo program. The results for both adults and children were found to be relatively lower than the values reported by international publications. Due to the wide variations of entrance surface dose and the higher radiation doses delivered to child patients, this study recommends implementing a quality assurance program in such hospitals to achieve optimization between good image quality and minimum dose according to the as low as reasonably achievable principle. Moreover, the results of this work will provide a useful base for establishing local diagnostic reference levels for chest and abdomen examinations in Jordan.

Broadcast Media and Their Social Network Sites: The Case of Palestinian–Israeli Representations and Capabilities

This study examines how media representations of Palestinian–Israelis differ between broadcast media outlets and their social networking sites, using the “capabilities approach” as the theoretical framework. The study presents a quantitative content analysis comparison of the frequency and context of appearances of Palestinian–Israeli interviewees on all news and current affairs programs broadcast on the five major Israeli broadcast networks over twelve months, as well as the simultaneous appearances of the interviewees on the programs’ Facebook and Twitter accounts. The results suggest that social networking sites of broadcast media are more enabling of capabilities for Palestinian–Israelis relative to the broadcast media themselves. Thus, with changing consumption patterns and technological developments, this analysis points to the importance of examining social networks in addition to traditional broadcast platforms, for a more comprehensive understanding of which capabilities are enabled through traditional mass media as they expand their reach to new technologies.

Hardware-Compliant Compressive Image Sensor Architecture Based on Random Modulations and Permutations for Embedded Inference

This work presents a compact CMOS Image Sensor (CIS) architecture enabling embedded object recognition facilitated by a dedicated end-of-column Compressive Sensing (CS), reducing on-chip memory needs. Our sensing scheme is based on a combination of random modulations and permutations leading to an implementation with very limited hardware impacts. It is designed to meet both theoretical (<italic>i.e.</italic>, stable embedding, measurements incoherence) and practical requirements (<italic>i.e.</italic>, silicon footprint, power consumption). The only additional hardware compared to a standard CIS architecture using first order incremental Sigma-Delta (<inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\Sigma \Delta $ </tex-math></inline-formula>) Analog to Digital Converter (ADC) are a pseudo-random data mixing circuit, an in-<inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\Sigma \Delta ~\pm 1$ </tex-math></inline-formula> modulator and a small Digital Signal Processor (DSP). On the algorithmic side, three variants are presented to perform the inference on compressed measurements with a tunable complexity (<italic>i.e.</italic>, one-vs.-all SVM, hierarchical SVM and small ANN with 1-D max-pooling). An object recognition accuracy of <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\simeq 98.8$ </tex-math></inline-formula>% is reached on the COIL database (COIL, 100 classes) using our dedicated Neural Network classifier. We stress that the signal-independent dimensionality reduction performed by our dedicated CS scheme (1/480 in <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$480 \times 640$ </tex-math></inline-formula> VGA resolution case) allows to dramatically reduce memory requirements mainly related to the remotely learned coefficients used for the inference stage.

The purpose of this correlational study was to examine the relationship among compensation, benefits, intrinsic motivators, and potential referral recruiting in transportation organizations. Herzberg’s 2-factor theory was the theoretical framework for this study. Secondary data were collected for 566 Class A truck drivers from an Illinois-based partner organization’s 2018 employee satisfaction survey. The results of the multiple linear regression analyses indicated a significant relationship exists, F(3,562) = 258.323, p < . 001, R = . 580, among compensation (β = .231, p < .001), benefits (β = .101, p < .002), intrinsic motivators (β = .554, p < .001), and potential referral recruiting in transportation organizations. Overall, the independent variables accounted for 58% of the variance in the dependent variable with intrinsic motivators having the largest effect. The implication of these findings for positive social change includes equipping business leaders with information about motivational factors for recruiting drivers through referrals, which might increase community employment levels to improve the standard of living.

A Sustainable Industrial Development Approach: Enterprice Risk Management in View

The need to improve upon organizational performance and operational effectiveness call for sustainable industrial development and Risk management initiatives to deliver new corporate business models. An organizations interest to integrate and implement strategic approaches to identify, access and prepare against uncertainties through its business activities hold more benefits as per increased productivity. The authors’ investigation via an in-depth interview comprising of the senior and mid-level management staff of a steel-product manufacturing company in Nigeria subscribes to a single case study. We explore the implementation challenges of Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) in the supply chain of manufacturing firms. The research infers the case firm; having implemented and succefully demonstrated the ISO90001 and ISO13000 (quality and environmental standard), struggles to register any benefits with the ERM-ISO31000 operative. The findings further point at the managerial disconnect to effectively communicate the objective and the changing cultural practice. Also, notable was the worker’s perception of lacking the necessary information communication assistance to influence the ERM execution. The investigation contributes to the case firm understading of ERM and successful approach towards its implementation.
Active fluids - Interactions and collective dynamics in phoretic suspensions

Diffusiophoresis is a physico-chemical mechanism by which certain microscopic colloids drift through gradients of a solute concentration field in a fluid. This mechanism is exploited by autophoretic particles, which are chemically active synthetic colloids, to achieve self-propulsion. These particles influence each others' motion through chemical and hydrodynamic interactions and are hence known to exhibit collective behaviour. Modeling these interactions is a subject of intense research over the past decades, both from a physical perspective to understand the precise mechanisms of the interactions, as well as from an experimental point of view to explain the observations of formation of coherent large-scale structures. However, an exact modeling of is difficult due to multi-body interactions and surface effects. Most efforts so far rely on the superposition of far-field approximations for each particle's signature, which are only valid asymptotically in the dilute suspension limit. A systematic and unified analytical framework based on the classical Method of Reflections (MoR) is developed here for both Laplace and Stokes' problems to obtain the multi-body interactions and the resulting velocities of phoretic particles, up to any order of accuracy in the radius-to-distance ratio of the particles.A system comprising only of chemically- and geometrically-isotropic autophoretic particles is then considered in detail. It is known that such isotropic particles cannot self-propel in isolation; however, in the presence of other identical particles, the symmetry of the concentration field is broken and the particles spontaneously form close packed clusters. Remarkably, these clusters are observed to self-propel based on their geometric arrangement. This result thus identifies a new route to symmetry-breaking for the concentration field and to self-propulsion, that is not based on an anisotropic design, but on the collective interactions of identical and homogeneous active particles. An argument for origin of this self-propulsive behaviour of clusters is made based on MoR. Furthermore, using full numerical simulations and theoretical model for clustering, we characterize the statistical properties of self-propulsion of the system.
Autochthonous chikungunya and dengue fever outbreak in Mainland France, 2010-2018

Aedes albopictus, vector of dengue and chikungunya viruses, is implanted in mainland France, exposing to the risk of autochthonous transmission. Since 2006, epidemiological and entomological surveillance activities aim to prevent or limit the occurrence of autochthonous cases. We aimed to describe episodes of transmission and control measures implemented in order to reflect on surveillance activities. We reviewed all publications and documents produced on autochthonous transmission episodes in France and surveillance protocols. We reviewed surveillance activities, investigation methods and control measures implemented. Between 2010 and 2018, eight episodes of autochthonous dengue fever transmission and three of chikungunya were recorded in mainland France. All of them occurred in the South east of France, between July and October, when vector density was the highest. Transmission areas were limited to single domestic houses located in discontinuous urban areas. Only two episodes happened in two distinct areas. Chikungunya episodes led to 31 cases and dengue fever episodes to 23 cases. Most cases were identified by door-to-door investigations set-up in transmission areas. We isolated serotypes 1 and 2 for dengue and East Central South Africa lineage for chikungunya in autochthonous cases. Adulticide vector control measures were effective in controlling transmission. Seven episodes of transmission were due to failure in identifying primary imported cases. Four episodes occurred because of the absence or the lack of vector controls measures around primary imported cases. Surveillance activities, and autochthonous cases investigations, were effective in limiting the extent of transmission, but were highly demanding for surveillance actors. Identified causes of transmission highlight the need of regular awareness campaigns targeting physicians and biologists. Effectiveness of the surveillance system of dengue, chikungunya and zika viruses, and autochthonous cases investigations. Needs of awareness and training courses targeting health professionals to the risk represented by these viruses.
