A Study of Language Used in Magazine Reports of Rape and Sexual Assault Trials

The purpose of this study was to examine the descriptors used to describe victims and alleged perpetrators in recent articles about rape trials and sexual assault trials in popular U.S. magazines to determine whether they were significantly different in connotative meaning as perceived by the respondents. Forty-four articles were examined for descriptors. The ten most commonly used descriptors for the victims and the ten most commonly used descriptors for the alleged perpetrators were then rated on Osgood's semantic differential by 107 undergraduates from the University of Rhode Island. Results showed that descriptors for the victims and alleged perpetrators were found to be significantly different on the three semantic factors of evaluation, potency, and activity. Descriptors used to describe the victims were judged as connoting less favorability, less potency, and less activity than those used to describe the alleged perpetrators . These words may affect the way in which victims and perpetrators are perceived by their readers.
A Theory of Relativity of Cultures, Incomes, and Happiness

Cultural relativism (Boas, 1887) and hedonic relativism (Easterlin, 1974) are reference points of a theory that addresses international differences in per-capita incomes and variations in the contribution of income to happiness. The pivotal concept in this analysis is diligence. Painstaking effort, i.e., diligence, is needed to produce high quality goods and services. The downside of such efforts lies in the psychological burden that comes with the necessary high level of self-control of the individual worker and the required organizational feedback mechanisms in firms. We present two competing views concerning the determination of diligence. The first, anthropologically inspired, hypothesis states that a society’s cultural forces like cognitive styles, organizational traditions and religion determine the level of diligence. One implication of this perspective is that societies can have income levels that are either too high or too low relative to the welfare optimum. The second view holds that diligence is determined in a maximizing way balancing the gains and pains of diligence in the economic realm. Cross-country data are studied in order to assess the two competing views. The econometric evidence indicates that it is the maximizing view that can explain key aspects of the data.
Innovative approaches to assessment: develop a sense of direction to promote students learning

Assessment practices in educational settings have undergone much transformation in recent years. The innovative approach to assessment includes providing continuous feedback, correctives and enrichment to students with the goal of enhancing students’ academic performance. Classroom assessment practices have been more recently influenced by the learning process. The main purpose of this study was to gather information on assessment practices that use the mastery learning approach, which is formative assessment through which teachers in the classroom can develop a sense of direction while providing continuous feedback, correctives and enrichment to students with the aim of bridging learning gaps in what students currently know and what they should know. In this study, the semi-structured interview was conducted with six vocational teachers from vocational colleges. Discussion on the findings was based on the experience of the participants in developing a sense of direction by giving continuous feedback, correctives and enrichment to promote student learning. The outcomes could be a source reference for providing information to teachers on a new concept of assessment and how, at the same time, it can be successfully embedded in the teaching and learning process to promote student learning.
Panorama del VIH/SIDA: retos para el nuevo milenio

En el año 2001 se cumplieron dos décadas de la identificación del virus que hoy conocemos como síndrome de inmunodeficiencia adquirida (SIDA). Debido a las implicaciones y características de los mecanismos de prevención y transmisión, este mal ha repercutido, incluso, en la perspectiva que se tiene de la salud, la enfermedad, la sexualidad y los derechos humanos. El SIDA es la cuarta causa de mortalidad en el planeta y para finales del 2001 se estimaba que 40 millones de personas estarían infectadas con el virus de la inmunodeficiencia humana (VIH); de éstas, casi dos millones residirían en América Latina y el Caribe, según el resumen mundial de la epidemia del Programa Conjunto de las Naciones Unidas para el SIDA (ONUSIDA) (figura 1). La utilización de herramientas que permitan a los tomadores de decisiones intervenir de manera más eficiente y con una mejor racionalización de los recursos –a partir de estimadores económicos orientados a obtener la mayor cantidad de información disponible, con el mayor grado de precisión y exactitud posible sobre el uso de recursos–, constituye un requerimiento que la mayoría de los países latinoamericanos identifica como una actividad prioritaria en el diseño de sus planes estratégicos nacionales, y que pretende institucionalizarse en los programas nacionales de lucha contra el SIDA, como un ejercicio permanente de gestión y autoanálisis. Uno de estos instrumentos es la estimación del flujo de financiamiento y gasto, por medio de un recuento de los recursos de cada país, tanto gubernamentales como de los individuos y los de apoyo o cooperación internacional, lo cual permite conocer la mejor forma de responder de manera organizada ante esta enfermedad.

Value co-creation processes at sustainable music festivals: a grounded theory approach

Purpose One of the most significant shifts in contemporary business thinking in the tourism and event industry is co-creation and the framework for adopting this collaborative approach is integral for achieving the fundamental goal of value creation. The purpose of this paper is to enhance the understanding of sustainable events by analysing value co-creation processes from the attendees’ perspective. Design/methodology/approach The methodical framework comprises two steps. First, the study analyses the literature related to festivals and value co-creation, with a focus on sustainable festivals. Second, data rooted research based on grounded theory is conducted, using 12 semi-structured interviews with music festival attendees. Findings Three distinct festival attendee categories were identified: the sustainable co-creation type, the calculating type and the experience type. Within each category, attendees have different attitudes, personal values and experiences as well as individual assessments of what exactly constitutes value and value creation. These three categories are regarded as key factors in describing different kinds of value co-creation processes in the festival context. Research limitations/implications Considering these three types and addressing their personal values, beliefs and value perceptions will allow festival organisers to better manage the development of sustainable festivals and their role as value co-creators. Originality/value This paper addresses the need to better understand how value is created in a festival context. The application of grounded theory also considers scholarly calls for a deeper search into the meaning and essence of value for festival attendees.
Postprandial studies of moderate exercise and triacylglycerol metabolism

Exaggerated postprandial lipaemia has been implicated in the development of atherosclerosis. Thus, by reducing postprandial TAG concentrations, exercise may play a role in delaying atherogenic progression. This thesis sought to explore the qualitative nature of, and the mechanisms behind, the moderate exercise-induced attenuation to postprandial lipaemia. Before the experimental studies commenced, a reproducibility study was undertaken. This showed that in a group of eight middle-aged men, the postprandial plasma TAG response differed by only 1.9 ± 5.1 % (mean ± standard error) on a testretest basis, indicating that the oral fat tolerance test had enough precision to detect the effect of exercise on TAG metabolism. Previous work suggested that the exercise-induced reduction to lipaemia was linked to the energy expended by exercise. As the attenuation may have been mediated by energy deficit, rather than exercise per se, a study comparing the effect of a 90-minute moderate exercise session with an equivalent dietary-induced energy deficit on postprandial lipid metabolism was undertaken, in a group of eleven postmenopausal women. This showed that the reduction in postprandial lipaemia elicited by exercise was far greater than that elicited by intake-restriction (20 % vs. 7 %). The second experimental study aimed to establish the effect of a 90-minute moderate exercise session on postprandial chylomicron- and very-Iow-density lipoprotein (VLDL)-TAG concentrations, and its effect on exogenous (through use of a l3e-Iabelled lipid) and endogenous fat oxidation, in a group oftwelve middle-aged men. Exercise reduced postprandial lipaemia by 23 %, and over three-quarters of this reduction was due to lower VLDL-TAG concentrations. Increases in endogenous fat oxidation accounted for over half of the increase in postprandial fat oxidation. In the third experimental study, the effect of a 90-minutes moderate exercise session on Intralipid clearance, and postprandial lipaemia, was determined in a group of eight middle-aged men. Exercise attenuated postprandial lipaemia by 18 %, but did not increase Intralipid clearance. Taken together, these data imply that moderate exercise predominantly reduced postprandial TAG concentrations by reducing hepatic VLDL secretion, rather than increasing TAG clearance, and this effect is not mediated by whole-body energy deficit. In addition, this work has shown that moderate exercise is effective at attenuating postprandial lipaemia in middle-aged men and postmenopausal women.
Sexploitation of Children: Exploratory analysis of data availability and reliability

Problem: Child sexploitation data are difficult to find and often of questionable validity. To understand the scope of the problem and examine criminal patterns, data needs to be charted across time on a large scale and analyzed in context with structural explanatory factors. Methods: To determine what data are available, six countries were examined, and a data set developed. The data were quantitatively compared to national structural factors (ex: infant mortality rates). Results: There was very little accurate data. Very rough estimates were obtained, but cannot be construed as scientifically reliable. Conclusions: Accurate research with replicable methodology will lead to a better understanding of the problem so that patterns and predictors can emerge from valid and reliable data.
Monitoring the economy

ABSTRACT This article argues that individuals should monitor the economy most during times of economic and political uncertainty or hardship. To test the argument, we investigate macrolevel factors that shape individuals’ attention to, and retention of, economic information in the U.S. Beyond economic indicators, including unemployment, inflation, and stock prices, we investigate political and electoral changes, international crises, and media coverage. In addition, we ask if individuals monitor the economy in fundamentally different (and politically consequential) ways, depending on their level of education. We test the hypotheses with over 80,000 survey respondents in the national, monthly Surveys of Consumers from 1979 to 2013. The findings reveal that respondents from all educational backgrounds respond in remarkably similar ways to changing national political and economic conditions. We conclude by discussing the findings’ implications for our conventional understanding of opinion formation.
High Active Anti-retroviral Therapy for HIV/AIDS, Progresses and Drawback

AIDS (acquired immune deficient syndrome) is a human infectious disease. AIDS patients, if not be treated, commonly suffer a gradual loss of human immune-defensive functions and finally die of infectious complications within 2 years after AIDS symptoms occur in patients. AIDS patients can be treated with a series of anti-viral drugs to decrease the virus-load and slow the pace of occurrence AIDS and ameliorate the symptoms of immune deficient and prolong the life-spans of patients by high active anti-retroviral therapy (HAART). Even though HAART is very effective, HIV/AIDS patients cannot be cured by HAART. And there are a lot of precautious for this therapy. There are a plethora of reasons behind these phenomena. In this review, we will detail address this problem and try to give new directions.

Linguistic Analysis of Science Teachers' Narratives Using AntConc Software

This chapter presents the linguistic analysis of science teachers’ narratives regarding their worldviews in the digital age and their views of technology. The analysis was performed using Laurence Anthony’s software AntConc, which is suitable for analyzing large data corpora. The language behavior of the following groups of teachers was analyzed by exploring three distinctive linguistic markers: personal pronouns to study participants’ foci of attention; emotion words, to measure the extent of their emotional immersion in the discourse; and semantic fields of specific word collocations. The results, based on the variations in the language behavior, indicated differences between the three groups of teachers’ worldviews. In addition, the examination of the degree of descriptive elaboration, expressed through the use of sense, motion, and exclusion words, revealed similar levels of truthfulness in all three groups. The linguistic analysis, enhanced by various computational linguistic technologies available through the AntConc software, made it possible to identify implicitly conveyed thoughts and feelings, thereby affording a better understanding of complex education-related processes and phenomena.
Working Elements of Music Therapy for Children and Young People with Autism

Music therapy is used in the treatment of children and young people with autism. Several studies show that it has positive effects, especially in the areas of social behavior and communication. However, there has been no research into which elements are responsible for these effects. This study explores which elements facilitate a change in social behavior. To research this, a combination of the Grounded Theory and the Stimulated Recall Method was used. Therapies with 14 clients were analyzed and the music therapists were interviewed using the Stimulated Recall Method. After the data analysis, five element categories were presented that stimulated a change in social behavior in children and adolescents with autism: Format, Communication, Musical Elements, Connecting and Challenging. Those categories were then incorporated into a first working model, which demonstrates how changes in the social behavior of children and young people with autism occur during the music therapy process. The therapist’s continuous adaptation to the client proves to be an important element of this process.
An evaluation of the Adams forward bend test and the scoliometer in a scoliosis school screening setting.

: We examined the ability of the Adams forward bend test and the scoliometer to detect truncal rotation or asymmetry in a school screening setting. Of 954 sixth graders examined with each test independently, 123 and 13 [using an angle of trunk rotation (ATR) of > 5 and 7 degrees, respectively] were found to be abnormal on scoliometer examination but appeared normal on the Adams test. Selecting children for scoliometer examination on the basis of the Adams test is not supported by our data and may not be consistent with generally accepted principles of public health screening.
Antegrade Cross K-Wire in Distal Radius Fractures: An Alternative Technique

Summary: K-wire ﬁxation is a simple, minimally invasive technique to maintain the reduction in unstable fractures. Traditionally, 2 retrograde cross K-wires are used, one through the radial styloid and another through the dorsoulnar rim of the radial cortex. Dorsoulnar K-wire has minimal purchase in the distal fragment. We describe an alternative technique of antegrade cross K-wire which provides a better purchase. First K-wire is inserted retrograde through radial styloid as standard. Second K-wire is inserted dorsoradially at the level where ﬁrst K-wire exits in an antegrade direction. K-wire is directed toward lunate in AP and lateral view. In our experience, compared with dorsoulnar K-wire, antegrade cross K-wire will provide a better purchase in the distal fragment.
The Continuing Significance of Race : Antiblack Discrimination in Public Places

Much literature on contemporary U.S. racial relations tends to view black middle-class life as substantially free of traditional discrimination. Drawing primarily on 37 in-depth interviews with black middle-class respondents in several cities, I analyze public accommodations and other public-place discrimination. Focus on three aspects: (1) the sites of discrimination, (2) the character of discriminatory actions; and (3) the range of coping responses by blacks to discrimination. Documenting substantial barriers facing middle-class blackAmericans today, I suggest the importance of the individual's and the group's accumulated discriminatory experiences for understanding the character and impact of modern racial discrimination.
Use of Small-Wire External Fixation as a Minimally Invasive Technique for Calcaneus Fractures: Surgical Technique

Intra-articular calcaneus fractures continue to challenge the surgeon to find the best treatment method to obtain the best function with the least complications. Indications for surgical fixation include intra-articular fractures of the posterior facet displaced >2 mm, >25% of calcaneocuboid joint involvement, and fracture dislocation. However, although there is evidence supporting operative fixation, there still may be high complication rates and persistent functional deficits. The extensile lateral approach has been quoted to have wound complications as high as 42.5%. Using the open and direct fixation methods, the time to surgery is often delayed to accommodate soft tissue swelling. We present an alternative treatment method using small-wire external fixation, as augmented by minimally invasive techniques for reduction. Advantages of this technique include the improved maintenance of the soft tissue envelope, improved access to wound care in open fractures, quicker times to definitive surgical fixation, early weight-bearing, and useful stabilization for very difficult and comminuted fractures.

Socio-emotional development in high functioning children with Autism Spectrum Disorders using a humanoid
 robot

The use of robots had already been proven to encourage the promotion of social interaction and skills lacking in children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), who typically have difficulties in recognizing facial expressions and emotions. The main goal of this research is to study the influence of a humanoid robot to develop socio-emotional skills in children with ASD. The children’s performance in game scenarios aiming to develop facial expressions recognition skills is presented. Along the sessions, children who performed the game scenarios with the robot and the experimenter had a significantly better performance than the children who performed the game scenarios without the robot. The main conclusions of this research support that a humanoid robot is a useful tool to develop socio-emotional skills in the intervention of children with ASD, due to the engagement and positive learning outcome observed.
Developing Affective Engagement in Science Education through Performative Pedagogies: The Performing Sciences

The project The Performing Sciences engaged teaching staff from biomedical sciences and theatre to design an assessment activity in which second year students at the University of Melbourne were required to explicate a biochemical concept or process using embodied modes of performance. Here we provide an extended narrative on affective engagement, offering this previous work as a case study, and describing how this innovative work advances approaches to teaching, learning and assessment in science education through theatrical performance. The case study provides evidence of the potential for creative and multi-disciplinary forms of teaching, learning and assessment to foster student engagement and increase their motivation to learn science. Our extended narrative focusses on the potential for performance-based pedagogical approaches to facilitate affective forms of learning. We argue that by employing strategies from theatre and performance studies, science educators can engage students in emotional and corporeal ways that complement their cognitive processes, as well as facilitate opportunities for collaborative and social learning.
