Nutzungsdauer und Präferenzen für Videospiele und ihre Zusammenhänge mit dem Ärgerempfinden bei Fehlern in der Schule

Der vorliegende Artikel geht der Frage nach, wie sich die Nutzungsdauer von und die Präferenzen für Videospiele auf die Ärgerdisposition und das Ärgerempfinden von 16- bis 25-Jährigen auswirken, wenn sie in der Schule Fehler begehen. Hierzu beantworteten 313 Probanden aus der Schweiz einen Online- Fragebogen. Dieser umfasste Fragen zu Videospielen, eine Vor- und Nachhermessung des Ärgerzustands sowie eine ärgerinduzierende Intervention dazwischen. Zusätzlich wurden soziodemographische Angaben und dispositionelle Ärgerdimensionen erhoben. Es zeigte sich, dass das Begehen von Fehlern in der Schule nicht zwangsläufig zu einer Ärgerzunahme führte. Etwa die Hälfte der Probanden zeigte danach sogar eine Ärgerreduktion. Jugendliche, welche Rollenspiele präferierten, zeigten eine höhere Ärgerkontrolle und drückten ihren Ärger weniger offen nach aussen aus als Jugendliche, welche Rollenspiele nicht präferierten. Jugendliche, welche Ego-Shooter oder Sport Games präferierten, richteten den Ärger weniger nach innen oder unterdrückten ihn weniger als Jugendliche, welche Ego-Shooter oder Sport Games nicht präferierten. Ausserdem zeigten Jugendliche, welche Sport Games präferierten, eine geringere Ärgerkontrolle als Jugendliche, welche Sport Games nicht präferierten. Weiter zeigte sich, dass männliche Jugendliche signifikant häufiger Videospiele spielen als weibliche. Die Nutzungsdauer von Videospielen korrelierte nicht signifikant mit der Ärgerzunahme. Somit kann nicht davon ausgegangen werden, dass Videospiele zu einer fehlerfreundlicheren Haltung führen. Es kann aber auch festgehalten werden, dass Videospiele keine verstärkende Wirkung auf das Ärgerempfinden haben. Medienkritische Haltungen konnten diesbezüglich nicht bestätigt werden.
Measurement and Mechanisms of Skill Generalization and Transfer in the Rehabilitation Context

Introduction: A major goal of rehabilitation is to promote generalization and transfer of learning from the rehabilitation context to everyday life. The purpose of this thesis was to increase our understanding of the mechanisms that support generalization and transfer by examining the Cognitive Orientation to daily Occupational Performance (CO-OP) approach. COOP is a multi-faceted, performance-based, intervention that frequently reports achieving generalization and transfer. Methods: Three studies were undertaken. 1) A scoping review to describe the literature on CO-OP transfer. 2) Scale development and testing to produce a tool that allows for the quantification of the degree of difference between skills. 3) Testing of a proposed model of the CO-OP factors that contribute to generalization and transfer using multiple regression analysis. Results: It was found that a variety of approaches were used to examine transfer in CO-OP studies; in all cases evidence of transfer was reported. However, the variety of approaches used made comparisons and synthesis across studies difficult. The Generalization and Transfer Scale (the G&T Scale), was developed and found to have both good content validity and inter-rater reliability. Correlations between G&T scores and post-intervention performance on untrained goals were not significant; generalization and transfer was found to occur at all degrees of difference between trained and untrained goals. The multiple regression iii analysis found that, along with age group and pre-test performance, non-verbal negative selfefficacy was associated with post-intervention performance on untrained goals. Significance of findings: Taken together these three projects contribute to the understanding of the mechanisms of generalization and transfer. The G&T Scale, a valid and reliable tool to quantify the degree of difference between skills, supports the examination of generalization and transfer. The G&T score was found to be unrelated to the achievement of generalization and transfer suggesting that other mechanisms are at play. In addition, the findings here point to the importance of selfefficacy in this process. Future work is required to elucidate other features of CO-OP that were proposed to facilitate generalization and transfer.
Community-Centered Urban Sensing

The authors examine the problem of integrating urban sensing into engaged planning. The authors ask whether enhanced urban data and analysis can enhance resident engagement in planning and design, rather than hinder it, even when current urban planning and design practices are dysfunctional. The authors assess the outcomes of a planning and design effort in Charlottesville, Virginia, USA. Community-Centered Urban Sensing is a participatory urban sensing initiative developed by urban planners and designers, architects, landscape architects, and technologists at the University of Virginia to address the need for actionable information on the urban environment through community-engaged urban data collection and analysis. These findings address how technological urbanism moves from data to action, as well as its potential for marginalization. Finally, the authors discuss a conceptualization of smart and engaged planning that accounts for urban dysfunction. The smart cities paradigm should encompass modes and methods that function even when local urban systems are dysfunctional.
Wat leert onderzoek over overtuigende teksten over het ontwerpen van overtuigender teksten? : Een overzicht van meta-analytische studies

Persuasive communication is designed to elicit certain thoughts and feelings in order to change the audience’s attitudes and intentions, with the ultimate goal of influencing behavior. This paper addresses the question what meta-analyses in the field of persuasion can tell us about the effects that persuasive communication can have on the audience’s behavior and on the steps leading up to that behavior. A review of these meta-analyses shows that changing intentions does not automatically lead to similar sized behavioral effects, that communicative interventions only have small to medium effects, that these effects can be obtained through ethos, pathos, and logos, and that these effects are to some extent susceptible to message design characteristics. The (small to medium) size of the effects of communicative interventions has implications for the design of research on persuasive communication as well as for the advice for practitioners.

Thyroid function in patients with breast cancer

Objective To explore the relationship between thyroid function and breast cancer.Methods Breast cancer patients(n=68),benign breast diseases(n=111),and healthy controls(n=45) in our hospital from Jan,2009 to Mar,2011 were included in the study.The levels of thyroid hormones(FT_4,FT_3,TSH-3) and the levels of thyroid antibodies(aTPO and aTG) were determined by direct RIA in serum.Statistical analysis was performed by Independent Samples T-Test. (P0.05). Results Although in breast cancer patients the levels of FT_4(16.32±3.32) and the levels of aTPO(51.30 + 39.14) were in the normal range,but the levels of FT_4 were lower and the levels of aTPO were higher than those in patients with benign breast diseases or healthy controls respectively(P0.05). Conclusion Thyroid function is associated with the growth and progression of human breast cancer.These data suggest that thyroid hormone and thyroid autoantibodies are significant in clinical monitoring or predicting the prognosis of breast carcinoma.
The efficacy and safety of telbivudine in blocking intrauterine hepatitis B viral transmission

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of telbivudine in blocking intrauterine HBV transmission.Methods 28 pregnant women with chronic hepatitis B were treated by telbivudine(600mg/d)since 28 weeks of gestation to 4 weeks after delivery,and 30 pregnant women with HBV infection were without antiviral teatment.The newborn were given active/passive immunization.Results The HBV DNA levels in treatment group before delivery were significantly declined[7.5±0.6 lg copies/ml to 3.3±1.6lg copies/ml(t=9.59,P0.001)],while the serum HBV DNA levels in control group didn't change;the incidence of intrauterine HBV infection in control was 13.3%(4/30,x2=4.15,P0.05),much higher than that in the treatment group(0%);the untoward effect of telbivudine was mild and not different between the two group.Conclusion Telbivudine can reduce the incidence of intrauterine HBV infection in the late pregnant women with chronic hepatitis B viral infection.
Validation of an artificial tooth-periodontal ligament-bone complex for in-vitro orthodontic research

Favor, Trevor E. M.S.M.E. , Purdue University, August 2015. Validation of an Artificial Tooth-Periodontal Ligament-Bone Complex for In-Vitro Orthodontic Research. Major Professor: Jie Chen. Orthodontics research investigates the methods in which tooth displacement may be directed in the tooth-periodontal ligament-bone-complex. In the biological environment, the periodontal ligament is the soft tissue responsible for the absorption of forces on teeth and has a direct connection to tooth mobility. Current research is limited in that it must be conducted in an in-vivo capacity. A major advancement in orthodontics research would be a testing method that allows for the development and analysis of orthodontic devices without a patient present. This study outlines the development and testing methods for the validation of an artificial periodontal ligament to be used in conjunction with an artificial-toothperiodontal ligament-bone-complex. The study focused on finding the criteria in which consistent results were produced, the mixture that best simulated the human periodontal ligaments mechanical behavior, and the robustness of the artificialperiodontal ligament-bone-complex. This study utilized a geometrically accurate denture mold filled with varying compositions of an artificial periodontal ligament for testing. Experiments focused on findings of viscoelasticity, curing times, and instantaneous responses of the teeth under direct orthodontic loading, as well as the changes in response from different teeth within the denture mold. Tests confirmed that a mixture composed of 50% Gasket Sealant No. 2 and 50% RTV 587 Silicone produced a substance that could adequately serve as an artificial periodontal ligament.
Obesity Prevalence Among Reproductive-Aged Women by Number of Live Births: United States, 2001–2010

INTRODUCTION: Despite intense clinical and public health attention, the high prevalence of obesity among U.S. women has persisted over the past decade. How childbirth may contribute to obesity prevalence at the population level is unclear. We evaluated a 10-year trend in obesity prevalence among women stratified by number of live births. METHODS: Using the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, a nationally representative, cross-sectional survey, we examined trends in obesity prevalence in women from 2001 to 2010. Women aged 18–50 years at the time of survey who were nulligravid, primiparous, or multiparous were included (unweighted n=6,857; weighted n=279,151,456). The primary outcome was the proportion of obese women in 2001–2002 compared with 2009–2010 based on exposure to live births (0, 1, 2+). Multivariate logistic regression was used to determine the odds of obesity (compared with healthy weight) across the study period. RESULTS: Overall, the proportion of obesity among all women aged 18–50 years did not change significantly from 2001 to 2010. Similarly, proportions of obesity among nulligravid (26.8–31.2%) and multiparous women (39.4–42.4%) aged 18–50 years did not vary significantly across the study period. However, among primiparous women, the proportion of obesity significantly increased from 30.4% in 2001–2002 to 39.9% in 2009–2010 (P=.02). This increase remained significant even after controlling for women's age (odds of obesity in 2009–2010 compared with 2001–2002: odds ratio 1.80, 95% confidence interval 1.04–3.00). CONCLUSION: Over the last decade, increasing obesity prevalence among primiparous women is concerning. First-time mothers may represent a key target for interventions to reduce and prevent obesity among reproductive-aged women.
Shugan Tiaoyinyang Fang in Ameliorating Symptoms Caused by Tamoxifen after Breast Cancer Surgery and Improving the Quality of Life:a RCT

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the clinical effects of Shugan Tiaoyinyang Fang on treatment of symptoms caused by oral Tamoxifen.METHODS 80 patients with breast cancer who had been treated with Tamoxifen for more than one year and had obvious endocrine disorders were randomly and equally divided into two groups,namely the treatment group of 40 cases orally taking Shugan Tiaoyinyang Fang and Tamoxifen twice a day for 60 days and the control group of 40 cases only orally taking Tamoxifen.The amended kuppermann scores were adopted to evaluate the improvement of the symptoms,KPS was adopted to evaluate patients' quality of life and laboratory tests were used to evaluate drug safety.RESULTS The Kuppermann scores of the treatment group degreased significantly after 15-day treatment to the end of the study(P0.05~0.01),while only some of the symptoms of patients in the control group were improved,such as vertigo,joint pain,headache,palpitation(P0.05~0.01). The Kuppermann scores of the treatment group degreased significantly with statistical differences after treatment compared with those before treatment(P0.05),while those of the control group were not changed obviously(P0.05). The KPS scores of the treatment group improved significantly,compared with the control group(P0.05). The laboratory test results showed that the blood test and hepatic and renal function test were normal for all the patients and there was a significant decrease of the triglyceride level in the treatment group(P0.01). CONCLUSION Shugan Tiaoyinyang Fang can effectively ameliorate the symptoms caused by Tamoxifen improve patients' life quality reduce the blood lipid level and lessen the side effects of Tamoxifen in clinic.
TYPES AND MAIN SOURCES OF FOREIGN LANGUAGE ANXIETY POSSESSED BY SECOND AND SIXTH SEMESTER STUDENTS OF ENGLISH DEPARTMENT IN FACULTY OF LETTERS, JEMBER UNIVERSITY

This research is focused on the main types of foreign language anxiety that second semester students and sixth semester students have and the main sources of their foreign language anxiety. To gather the data, this research uses questionnaire. The methods that are use to analyze the questionnaire are descriptive statistical analysis and content analysis. Descriptive statistical analysis is used to measure the scale of foreign language anxiety and to find out the types of students’ foreign language anxiety. Then, the second method is content analysis which is used to investigate the main sources of students’ foreign language anxiety. The result of this research shows that both of second and sixth semester students feel anxious when learning English in the classroom. Although both of them feel anxious when learning English in the classroom, they do not share the same main types of foreign language anxiety. Meanwhile, the sources of their foreign language anxiety were identified as: 1) they feel that their English skill is not good; 2) they rarely practice their English; 3) they have low self-confidence; 4) they are not well-prepared for the class; 5) they are afraid to make mistakes; 6) they lack of vocabulary; 7) they have not been accustomed to English environment.

The Amusement Park Theoretical (APT) Model of Creativity

The question of whether creativity is general or domain-specific is a frequently debated and discussed issue. No theory or model in creativity has attempted to bridge the gap between these differing views of creativity; most theories either implicitly or explicitly take a generalist perspective. The APT model uses the metaphor of an amusement park to explore creativity. There are four stages: Initial requirements, general thematic areas, domains, and micro-domains. This model attempts to integrate both general and domain-specific views of creativity. The first level (initial requirements) is very general, and each subsequent level gets more and more domain-specific. By the final level (micro-domains), the theory is very domain-specific. We also will discuss errors and variations within the model.
The scale of market quakes

We define a methodology to quantify market activity on a 24 hour basis by defining a scale, the so-called scale of market quakes (SMQ). The SMQ is designed within a framework where we analyse the dynamics of excess price moves from one directional change of price to the next. We use the SMQ to quantify the FX market and evaluate the performance of the proposed methodology at major news announcements. The evolution of SMQ magnitudes from 2003 to 2009 is analysed across major currency pairs.
Soviet Psychology of Character Training

The beginning of the 20th century is marked by the striving of progressive-minded pedagogues to be guided by the data of psychological science. It is at this time that pedagogical psychology emerges as an independent branch of scientific knowledge. In elaborating the principles of organizing the "new school," which would ensure complete and free development of the personality in each child, N. K. Krupskaya stressed that the child is "a living human individual with a complex inner life," who must be treated seriously and with respect.
Controls and Cooperation in Interactive and Non-Interactive Settings

This study investigates the effects of formal controls on trust and reciprocity within organizations. Prior research finds a positive effect of controls on trust-based cooperative behavior in settings where people work together and may benefit from each other’s behavior. Other work suggests that this result could be driven by control-induced reciprocity rather than control-induced trust. If this is the case, then controls may have less of a positive effect, or no effect, in relationships that do not involve direct interaction. We test the extent to which controls improve trust and reciprocity by comparing the effect of controls in a setting where people do not work together directly, but where behaviors can be observed (in other words, a setting where reciprocity is less likely to influence behavior), to a setting where people work together and can benefit from each other’s work. We find that controls increase cooperative behavior in both settings, but that controls increase this behavior significantly more in the setting where participants work together and can benefit from each other’s work (i.e., where reciprocity is more likely to occur). This suggests that both trust and reciprocity are enhanced by controls, and that controls will enhance cooperative behavior more in more interactive settings.
