Essalltag und Arbeitsteilung von Eltern in Paarbeziehungen – Eine quantitative Analyse auf Basis der repräsentativen Zeitverwendungsdaten 2012/13 und 2001/02
Authors: Klünder Nina , Meier-Gräwe Uta
Published: September 2017

The article examines the division of labor for everyday food routines of two-parent households depending on their labor force participation. Using data from the representative German Time Use Survey 2001/02 and 2012/13, three different pairs were formed: dual-earner couples, couples with additional female income and male-breadwinner couples Findings show that mother’s employment influences the time used for everyday food routines: It was found that the higher the employment rate of mothers, the less time was spent on food routine activities. Furthermore, the daily time used for everyday food routines was reduced from 2001/02 to 2012/13. The largest reductions were seen in the group of mothers working fulltime. Besides that, fathers were more engaged in meal preparation on the weekends, although the responsibility was the mother’s. In addition, the age and number of children in a household influenced the time used for everyday food routines. However, none of the examined pair constellations can help determine an egalitarian division of everyday food routines. There is still a labor division by gender.

Zusammenfassung

Der Beitrag untersucht die zeitliche Gestaltung sowie die innerfamiliale Arbeitsteilung des Essalltags von Müttern und Vätern in Paarbeziehungen differenziert nach deren Erwerbsumfang. Die Sekundäranalyse erfolgt auf Basis der repräsentativen Zeitverwendungsdaten 2012/13 und 2001/02, wobei drei Paarkonstellationen untersucht werden: Doppelverdiener-Paare, weibliche Zuverdiener- Paare sowie Paare mit männlichem Familienernährer. Die Analyse des Essalltags zeigt, dass der Erwerbsstatus der Mutter die zeitliche Gestaltung des Essalltags beeinflusst. Je höher dieser ist, desto weniger Zeit wird für die Ernährungsversorgung aufgewendet. Darüber hinaus hat sich die tägliche Zeitverwendung für die Ernährungsversorgung von 2001/02 bis 2012/13 reduziert, wobei die stärksten Einsparungen bei vollzeiterwerbstätigen Müttern zu konstatieren sind. Väter engagieren sich verstärkt am Wochenende bei der Mahlzeitenzubereitung, gleichwohl liegt die Verantwortung insgesamt bei den Müttern. Ebenso beeinflussen Alter und Anzahl der Kinder die Zeitverwendung für die Ernährungsversorgung. Letztlich kann in keiner untersuchten Paarkonstellation eine egalitäre Arbeitsteilung zur Gestaltung des Essalltags festgestellt werden. Vielmehr dominieren relativ ausgeprägte geschlechtsspezifische Arrangements.
Friction Behavior of Engineering Polymers Treated by Atmospheric DBD Plasma
Authors: Al-Maliki Hayder , Kalácska Gábor
Published: September 2017

The frictional behavior of (PA6 E and PETP) engineering polymers commonly used in the industry were investigated implying 3D surface topography due to Dielectric Barrier Discharge (DBD) source, atmospheric cold plasma surface treatment and compared to the pristine surface results under the same test conditions. The 3D surface topography shows a decrease in the surface roughness after treatment and keeps good topographical stability with the function of time. The friction coefficient of treated samples were lower than the pristine one under “run-out” lubrication conditions in line with surface characterization results.
Differences in styles of thinking ‘In Light of Sternberg's Theory': A case study of different educational levels in Saudi Arabia
Authors: Aljojo Nahla
Published: September 2017

People’s styles of thinking vary; we seek to understand these differences, to refine our abilities and skills, and find new and useful ways of thinking. To develop this concept, we implement the Sternberg (1997) thinking style inventory (TSI) as part of the learning process. The main idea behind the implementation of this style of thinking is to help people understand themselves, and identify the correct completion of tasks. In this study, we investigate different ways of thinking in various academic disciplines, which may help students find the best potential use of teaching and learning, and realize the best way to develop their true abilities. This paper investigates the thinking styles of 120 female and male students from different educational backgrounds across Saudi Arabia by using an Arabic version of Robert Sternberg’s questionnaire to examine their learning performance. In addition, we compare the thinking styles of Saudi Arabian males and females, demonstrating significant differences between the sexes of participants.

Level set framework of multi-atlas label fusion with applications to magnetic resonance imaging segmentation of brain region of interests and cardiac left ventricles
Authors: Gong Zhaoxuan , Lu Zhentai , Zhao Dazhe , Wang Shuai , Liu Yu , Song Yihua , Xuan Kai , Tan Wenjun , Li Chunming
Published: September 2017

ABSTRACT

Background and Objectives:

This paper evaluates the performance of a variational level set method for performing label fusion through the use of a penalty term, label fusion term, and length regularization term, which automatically labels objects of interest in biomedical images. This paper is an extension of our preliminary work in the conference paper. We mainly focus on the validation of the variational level set method.

Subjects and Methods:

Label fusion is achieved by combining the three terms: label fusion term, image data term, and regularization term. The curve evolution derived from the energy minimization is impacted by the three terms simultaneously to achieve optimal label fusion. Each label obtained from the nonlinear registration method is represented by a level set function whose zero level contour encloses the labeled region. In Lu et al.'s paper, they employ the level set formulation only for hippocampus segmentation.

Results:

Our method is compared with majority voting (MV), local weighted voting (LWV), and Simultaneous Truth and Performance Level Estimation (STAPLE). The method is evaluated on MICCAI 2012 Multi-Atlas Labeling challenge and MICCAI 2012 ventricle segmentation challenge. The mean Dice metric is computed using different atlases and produces results with 0.85 for the hippocampus, 0.77 for the amygdala, 0.87 for the caudate, 0.78 for the pallidum, 0.89 for the putamen, 0.91 for the thalamus, and 0.78 for cardiac left ventricles.

Conclusions:

Experimental results demonstrate that our method is robust to parameter setting and outperforms MV, LWV, and STAPLE. The image data term plays a key role in improving the segmentation accuracy. Our method can obtain satisfactory results with fewer atlases.
Order 3 Elements in G2 and Idempotents in Symmetric Composition Algebras
Authors: Elduque Alberto
Published: September 2017

Order three elements in the exceptional groups of type G2 are classiûed up to conjugation over arbitrary fields. Their centralizers are computed, and the associated classification of idempotents in symmetric composition algebras is obtained. Idempotents have played a key role in the study and classification of these algebras.

Over an algebraically closed field, there are two conjugacy classes of order three elements in G2 in characteristic not 3 and four of them in characteristic 3. The centralizers in characteristic 3 fail to be smooth for one of these classes.

Published: September 2017

Abstract. Molecular tracers in secondary organic aerosols (SOAs) can provide information on origin of SOA, as well as regional scale processes involved in their formation. In this study 9 carboxylic acids, 11 organosulfates (OSs) and 2 nitrooxy organosulfates (NOSs) were determined in daily aerosol particle filter samples from Vavihill measurement station in southern Sweden during June and July 2012. Several of the observed compounds are photo-oxidation products from biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs). Highest average mass concentrations were observed for carboxylic acids derived from fatty acids and monoterpenes (12. 3 ± 15. 6 and 13. 8 ± 11. 6 ng m−3, respectively). The FLEXPART model was used to link nine specific surface types to single measured compounds. It was found that the surface category sea and ocean was dominating the air mass exposure (56 %) but contributed to low mass concentration of observed chemical compounds. A principal component (PC) analysis identified four components, where the one with highest explanatory power (49 %) displayed clear impact of coniferous forest on measured mass concentration of a majority of the compounds. The three remaining PCs were more difficult to interpret, although azelaic, suberic, and pimelic acid were closely related to each other but not to any clear surface category. Hence, future studies should aim to deduce the biogenic sources and surface category of these compounds. This study bridges micro-level chemical speciation to air mass surface exposure at the macro level.
A coupled human–natural system to assess the operational value of weather and climate services for agriculture
Authors: Li Yu , Giuliani Matteo , Castelletti Andrea
Published: September 2017

Abstract. Recent advances in weather and climate (W&C) services are showing increasing forecast skills over seasonal and longer timescales, potentially providing valuable support in informing decisions in a variety of economic sectors. Quantifying this value, however, might not be straightforward as better forecast quality does not necessarily imply better decisions by the end users, especially when forecasts do not reach their final users, when providers are not trusted, or when forecasts are not appropriately understood. In this study, we contribute an assessment framework to evaluate the operational value of W&C services for informing agricultural practices by complementing traditional forecast quality assessments with a coupled human–natural system behavioural model which reproduces farmers' decisions. This allows a more critical assessment of the forecast value mediated by the end users' perspective, including farmers' risk attitudes and behavioural factors. The application to an agricultural area in northern Italy shows that the quality of state-of-the-art W&C services is still limited in predicting the weather and the crop yield of the incoming agricultural season, with ECMWF annual products simulated by the IFS/HOPE model resulting in the most skillful product in the study area. However, we also show that the accuracy of estimating crop yield and the probability of making optimal decisions are not necessarily linearly correlated, with the overall assessment procedure being strongly impacted by the behavioural attitudes of farmers, which can produce rank reversals in the quantification of the W&C services operational value depending on the different perceptions of risk and uncertainty.
El resto, la cosa y lo incondicionado: Schelling con Lacan

Published: September 2017

A partir del conocido pasaje del Vom Ich de F.W.J. Schelling (“condicionar significa la acción a través de la cual algo deviene cosa”) el texto propone una lectura del conocido como “resto irreductible” para dar cuenta del terror y de sus mecanismos de control. Se propone, en crítica a lo que Žižek hace con Hegel, una lectura lacaniana de Schelling que muestra, hasta qué punto, el “Hegel” presentado por Žižek no solo es un Hegel pasado por Lacan, sino también por Schelling.
Introducción a la noción de dignitates en orden a la comprensión de las ciencias según Tomás de Aquino (Primera parte
Authors: Mendoza José
Published: September 2017

El esquema científico escolástico del s. XIII tiene un principal componente: las traducciones de los tratados aristotélicos. En esta línea las obras de Boecio conforman un recio enclave ineludible tanto por sus traducciones del griego cuanto por la fijación de una lexicología técnica que permita interpretarlo. Dicho antecedente fue especialmente enriquecido por las traducciones y comentarios que comenzaron a circular en el s. XII y las sucesivas del s. XIII. Mas, la visión científica de Tomás de Aquino abreva en esta tradición y propulsa una determinada comprensión de los textos del Estagirita. A partir de aquí el siguiente texto persigue en la opera omnia tomística la noción de dignitates, por ser éste uno de los términos que configuran su esquema científico de raíz aristotélica, con el objetivo de mostrar su lugar, sentido y alcance en el orden de las ciencias.

Trade Facilition and Economic Growth in Developing Countries: Using A Static and Dynamic Framework
Authors: Fauzel Sheereen
Published: September 2017

Analysing the literature, it is found that empirical evidences on the link between trade facilitation and economic growth for developing countries is very scarce. The present study investigated whether trade facilitation has contributed to the economic growth of a sample of 23 developing countries over the period 2007-2014. Results from the analysis highlight the importance of trade facilitation as a crucial determinant of development. Moreover, even trade levels have demonstrated to have an important role to play in boosting growth levels. Private investment is also seen to be an important driver of growth and the importance of education, are also acknowledged by the results. The GMM estimates confirmed these results and further indicated the presence of dynamism in growth modeling. Moreover, the granger causality test shows that there is a uni directional causality flowing from trade facilitation to economic growth.

A educação inclusiva visa atender os alunos com necessidades especiais ou não de igual maneira, uns não podem se sentir menos privilegiados que os outros sendo assim conteúdos e atividades precisam ser adaptadas para atender a todos, independente da disciplina. Com o ensino de Botânica os alunos conhecem no ambiente e em sala de aula formas diferenciadas de folhas e suas estruturas percebendo que há uma variedade de formas de folhas, flores com as suas belezas e cheiros. Os trabalhos desenvolvidos com os alunos são diferenciados, pois vão de sujar as mãos até o pé, fazendo assim com que se sintam mais motivados e empolgados com o novo. É uma forma diferente de ensinar e divertida de aprender que estimula o aluno na busca pelo conhecimento. Mostrando como é possível através do lúdico e do método multisensorial despertar o interesse e facilitar o processo de ensino-aprendizagem de crianças portadoras ou não de necessidades especiais.
Qual África ensinar nas escolas? A história africana e afro brasileira nos Relatórios Finais de Estágio Supervisionado do curso de História da UDESC (2000 – 2006)
Authors: Pires Andrade Maíra
Published: September 2017

Este artigo investiga quais são as representações sobre a História Africana e Afro brasileira que são expressas pelos estudantes de Graduação em História da UDESC na condição de estagiários na Educação Básica que irão ressoar nos Relatórios Finais da disciplina de Estágio Supervisionado do ano 2000 até 2006. Nesse sentido, o objetivo é perceber como os estagiários e os estudantes da Educação Básica dão significado a esta temática. Como aporte teórico usarei principalmente autores como Fanon, Quijano e Mbembe para pensar a colonialidade e o racismo na atualidade e Hall para mobilizar o conceito de representação. Nesse aspecto, irei abordar os trechos dos relatórios em que a África ou as populações negras são invisibilizadas. Irei atentar para a visão eurocêntrica articulada pelos estagiários através das suas categorias e por final salientarei os trechos em que estas populações são tratadas como objetos, colocadas no lado oposto da ação humana. Este artigo é um recorte de uma dissertação em desenvolvimento na UDESC que perceberá as rupturas nestes relatórios antes e depois da aprovação da lei 10.639/03, estabelecendo relações entre as apropriações dos estagiários e o que é compreendido pelos estudantes das escolas que são campo de estágio.

This paper introduces a method to realize dynamic interface, and designs a database storage model based on XML field technology to realize convenient data storage, any combination condition retrieval function and how to improve the retrieval speed in this kind of storage model. Usually a business system needs to provide information entry and retrieval functions, software designers have to design the appropriate entry items, input interface and retrieval functions for each business system and spend too much time on the repetitive works. And later engineers have to maintain the changing needs of the entry project, so we can apply the dynamic interface technology to achieve the customize needs of input items by the user, reducing the time of the repetitive works. Dynamic interface technology includes the realization of database storage and high performance data retrieval. This paper explores a storage model based on XML database to realize common and efficient storage and discuss on how to improve the retrieval speed in this kind of storage model.

Objetivo: Determinar la implementación de los servicios de atención de la Salud de las personas ostomizadas en Minas Gerais. Métodos: estudio transversal realizado en 28 centros de salud del estado de Minas Gerais - Brasil. Los datos fueron recogidos a partir de encuestas que forman la base del Sistema Integrado de Gestión de la Atención Farmacéutica de la Secretaría de Estado de Salud. El grado de implementación fue definido por medio de una matriz de análisis y juicio de valor, validada para el estudio con diferentes puntuaciones para cada indicador evaluado. Resultados: se analizaron los datos de estructura y proceso de los servicios de salud. Se observó que el 11% alcanzó el grado de implementación completa; 42% implementación satisfactoria; 36% incipiente y 11% se clasificó como no implementado. En la organización del programa, la estructura fue mejor evaluada que el proceso. Cabe destacar la ausencia de orientación y formación profesional, atención en grupo, organización de la demanda de atención y la escasez de enfermeros cualificados. Conclusión: Los servicios están enfocados en suministrar equipos colectores en detrimento de servicios dirigidos a la atención integral de la salud, amplia y en red.

Se buscó descubrir la percepción de los trabajadores de enfermería sobre la violencia física laboral en los servicios de urgencias y emergencias de un hospital. Estudio cualitativo desarrollado a través de 16 entrevistas individuales. Los datos se recogieron entre marzo y mayo de 2015 en dos hospitales de mediana complejidad ubicados en el norte del estado de Paraná. Los discursos se interpretaron según el análisis de contenido y el interaccionismo simbólico como referentes metodológico y teórico, respectivamente. Se identificó que los actos agresivos fueron cometidos, sobre todo, por pacientes y profesionales de otras áreas de la salud, y sus motivaciones estaban estrechamente vinculadas con la manera cómo se comunicaban las personas involucradas en el hecho. Otro aspecto dado a conocer fueron las reacciones de los trabajadores en función de sus características personales y de la manera cómo habían desarrollado su propia conciencia. La comprensión de la violencia física laboral desde la perspectiva de los distintos personajes reveló la complejidad y la importancia de implementar acciones no sólo por parte del personal de enfermería, sino también por los equipos multidisciplinarios e intersectoriales, con miras a prevenir y combatir la violencia laboral.

Published: September 2017

El objetivo de este estudio fue identificar la vulnerabilidad familiar de los niños con necesidades especiales de cuidados múltiples, complejos y continuos. Se trata de un estudio transversal realizado con familias de 68 niños. Los datos fueron recogidos en el período de junio a septiembre de 2015, por medio de entrevistas realizadas en el domicilio. Se utilizó un muestreo no probabilístico por conveniencia y los datos fueron analizados por medio de estadística descriptiva y correlación de Pearson. Todas las familias se mostraron vulnerables, el 8,8% presentó hasta un 40% de vulnerabilidad. En este estudio se identificó una notable vulnerabilidad individual debido a la fragilidad clínica del niño, social por la exclusión, y programática en cuanto a la precariedad de acceso a los servicios de salud. Es necesario que las redes de atención a la salud sean reevaluadas por sus gestores a fin de proporcionar acceso y atención a dicha población. Se destaca la importancia de invertir en la capacitación de profesionales calificados para actuar en la atención primaria, que comprendan el contexto de las familias y consideren su vulnerabilidad en la implementación de acciones de cuidado.

Published: September 2017

El objetivo del presente estudio fue descubrir cómo el paciente oncogeriátrico percibe la funcionalidad familiar. Se trata de un estudio descriptivo, exploratorio, de naturaleza cualitativa llevado a cabo con 21 adultos mayores. Los datos fueron recogidos de octubre a diciembre de 2016, utilizando la Escala de Apgar familiar y entrevistas semiestructuradas realizadas en la consulta de oncología. Las entrevistas fueron transcritas en su totalidad y sometidas al análisis de contenido, modalidad temática. Los resultados muestran que la mayoría de los adultos mayores percibe buena funcionalidad familiar, incluso que la enfermedad promovió la aproximación entre ellos. Algunos, sin embargo, se sienten insatisfechos con el tiempo compartido en familia, con la necesidad de recibir atención y con el comportamiento autoritario de algunos familiares en cuanto al tratamiento. Es importantes que los profesionales de la salud reconozcan y valoren las relaciones familiares de los pacientes oncogeriátricos porque tales relaciones influyen directamente en el tratamiento propuesto y en el combate de la enfermedad.

I mange år er humaniora blevet beskrevet som studiet af det menneskelige. Men som bl.a. videnskabsteoretikeren Donna Haraway har gjort opmærksom på, er ordet "humaniora" ikke alene forbundet med det latinske ord for "menneskelig" (humanus), men også for "muldjord" (humus). Med Passage 77 forsøger vi at styrke denne forbindelse mellem humaniora og det materielle grundlag, som menneskets eksistens bygger på. Under overskriften "Materialitet" bringer nummeret 9 artikler, der på forskellig vis anlægger materielle perspektiver i studiet af litteratur: Hvad kan H.C Andersens tingseventyr fortælle os om menneskets forhold til sin omverden? Hvordan kan man læse vejret i J.P. Jacobsens novelle "Mogens"? Hvilken rolle spiller bakterier i modernistisk litteratur? Og hvordan skaber apostrofen forøget sensibilitet for de materielle ting omkring os? Ved at stille sådanne og lignende spørgsmål bidrager Passage 77 til de seneste års teoretiske diskussioner om det ikke-menneskelige, posthumanisme, klima og biopolitik, hvor nye og alternative idéer om materialitet har indtaget en helt central rolle.
Litteratur og materialitet. En teoretisk overflyvning
Authors: Gregersen Martin , Skiveren Tobias
Published: September 2017

Martin Gregersen & Tobias Skiveren: “Literature and Materiality: A Theoretical Overview”In recent years, the slogan of materialism has resonated across the Humanities. Concepts like “language”, “culture”, and “discourse” are increasingly going out of fashion as practices of denaturalization no longer provoke the shock and awe they did in the early heydays of poststructuralism. Meanwhile, the language of “matter”, “life”, and “the nonhuman” is spreading rapidly, accompanied by the promise of alternative ways of thinking and new modes of inquiry. This article outlines some of the main tenets of this turn toward materiality. Bringing together theories of Bruno Latour, Jane Bennett, and Graham Harman, the main aim is to sketch out similarities and differences within this new philosophical trend and identify some of its potential for transforming literary criticism.

Eva Magelund Krarup: “(New)Material Fusions. On the Representation of Bodies and the Conception of Love in Works by Amalie Smith, Josefine Klougart and Bjørn Rasmussen”The article examines how the representation of the characters in three contemporary Danish literary works can be understood and analysed through new materialist theory, especially through Jane Bennett’s concept of vibrant matter and her theory of assemblages. I examine how, and to what extent, the characters can be conceived of as open systems of (vibrant) materiality, and furthermore which role love plays in this representation of the characters’ feelings of connectedness to others and the world.
Asymmetric responses to simulated global warming by populations of Colobanthus quitensis along a latitudinal gradient
Authors: Acuña-Rodríguez Ian S. , Torres-Díaz Cristian , Hereme Rasme , Molina-Montenegro Marco A.
Published: September 2017

The increase in temperature as consequence of the recent global warming has been reported to generate new ice-free areas in the Antarctic continent, facilitating the colonization and spread of plant populations. Consequently, Antarctic vascular plants have been observed extending their southern distribution. But as the environmental conditions toward southern localities become progressively more departed from the species’ physiological optimum, the ecophysiological responses and survival to the expected global warming could be reduced. However, if processes of local adaptation are the main cause of the observed southern expansion, those populations could appear constrained to respond positively to the expected global warming. Using individuals from the southern tip of South America, the South Shetland Islands and the Antarctic Peninsula, we assess with a long term experiment (three years) under controlled conditions if the responsiveness of Colobanthus quitensis populations to the expected global warming, is related with their different foliar traits and photoprotective mechanisms along the latitudinal gradient. In addition, we tested if the release of the stress condition by the global warming in these cold environments increases the ecophysiological performance. For this, we describe the latitudinal pattern of net photosynthetic capacity, biomass accumulation, and number of flowers under current and future temperatures respective to each site of origin after three growing seasons. Overall, was found a clinal trend was found in the foliar traits and photoprotective mechanisms in the evaluated C. quitensis populations. On the other hand, an asymmetric response to warming was observed for southern populations in all ecophysiological traits evaluated, suggesting that low temperature is limiting the performance of C. quitensis populations. Our results suggest that under a global warming scenario, plant populations that inhabiting cold zones at high latitudes could increase in their ecophysiological performance, enhancing the size of populations or their spread.
Can squirrel monkeys learn an ABnA grammar? A re-evaluation of Ravignani et al. (2013)
Authors: Ghirlanda Stefano
Published: September 2017

Ravignani et al. (2013) habituated squirrel monkeys to sound sequences conforming to an ABnA grammar (n = 1, 2, 3), then tested them for their reactions to novel grammatical and non-grammatical sequences. Although they conclude that the monkeys “consistently recognized and generalized the sequence ABnA,” I remark that this conclusion is not robust. The statistical significance of results depends on specific choices of data analysis, namely dichotomization of the response variable and omission of specific data points. Additionally, there is little evidence of generalization to novel patterns (n = 4, 5), which is important to conclude that the monkeys recognized the ABnA grammar beyond the habituation patterns. Lastly, many test sequences were perceptually similar to habituation sequences, raising the possibility that the monkeys may have generalized based on perceptual similarity rather than based on grammaticality.
The Parenting to Reduce Adolescent Depression and Anxiety Scale: Assessing parental concordance with parenting guidelines for the prevention of adolescent depression and anxiety disorders
Authors: Cardamone-Breen Mairead C. , Jorm Anthony F. , Lawrence Katherine A. , Mackinnon Andrew J. , Yap Marie B.H.
Published: September 2017

Background

Despite substantial evidence demonstrating numerous parental risk and protective factors for the development of adolescent depression and anxiety disorders, there is currently no single measure that assesses these parenting factors. To address this gap, we developed theParenting to Reduce Adolescent Depression and Anxiety Scale (PRADAS)as a criterion-referenced measure of parental concordance with a set of evidence-based parenting guidelines for the prevention of adolescent depression and anxiety disorders. In this paper, we used a sample of Australian parents of adolescents to: (1) validate the PRADAS as a criterion-referenced measure; (2) examine parental concordance with the guidelines in the sample; and (3) examine correlates of parental concordance with the guidelines.

Methods

Seven hundred eleven parents completed the PRADAS, as well as two established parenting measures, and parent-report measures of adolescent depression and anxiety symptoms. Six hundred sixty adolescent participants (aged 12–15) also completed the symptom measures. Concordance with the guidelines was assessed via nine subscale scores and a total score. Reliability of the scores was assessed with an estimate of the agreement coefficient, as well as 1-month test-retest reliability. Convergent validity was examined via correlations between the scale and two established parenting measures.

Results

One proposed subscale was removed from the final version of the scale, resulting in a total of eight subscales. Reliability was high for the total score, and acceptable to high for seven of the eight subscales. One-month test-retest reliability was acceptable to high for the total score. Convergent validity was supported by moderate to high correlations with two established measures of parenting. Overall, rates of parental concordance with the guidelines were low in our sample. Higher scores were associated with being female and higher levels of parental education. Greater parental concordance with the guidelines was associated with fewer symptoms of depression and anxiety in adolescent participants.

Discussion

This initial validation study provides preliminary support for the reliability and validity of the PRADAS. The scale has potential for use in both clinical and research settings. It may be used to identify parents’ strengths and potential targets for intervention, and as an outcome measure in studies of preventive parenting interventions.

Ocean heat content (OHC) evolutions calculated from the data sets (WOA, MyOcean, ORAS4, and SODA) were examined at different depth ranges in this study. According to the OHC changes, the subsurface and deeper ocean (SDO, 300–2000 m) heat content rapidly increased over the world's ocean basins during 1998–2013, indicating significant warming in the SDO during the recent global surface warming hiatus. Almost all the ocean basins warmed up, but with various contributions to the global SDO warming tied to the recent hiatus. The role of the Indian Ocean is particularly important as it has accounted for about 30% of global SDO heat uptake during the hiatus. The combined use of multiple data sets can reveal inconsistencies in SDO warming analysis results, and improve our understanding of the role of the SDO in the recent hiatus. The heat uptake in global SDO during the hiatus was about 2.37, 5.44, 3.75, and 2.44 × 1022 joules with trends of 0.40, 0.70, 0.77, and 0.48 W m−2 according to WOA, MyOcean, ORAS4, and SODA respectively, presenting obviously inconsistent SDO warming signals. MyOcean shows OHC overestimates in different ocean basins, while ORAS4 presents more reliable SDO OHC analysis. In general, the global SDO has sequestered a significant amount of heat—about 3.50 × 1022 joules with trends of 0.59 W m−2 on average among the four data sets—during the recent hiatus, demonstrating widespread and significant warming signals in the global SDO. There remain substantial uncertainties and discrepancies, however (especially in the PO and SO), in the available SDO warming information due to insufficient subsurface observation coverage and variations in the data set generation techniques used among different researchers.

Winter 2012–2013 was a particularly intense and well‐observed Dense Water Formation (DWF) event in the Northwestern Mediterranean Sea. In this study, we investigate the impact of the mesoscale dynamics on DWF. We perform two perturbed initial state simulation ensembles from summer 2012 to 2013, respectively, mesoscale‐permitting and mesoscale‐resolving, with the AGRIF refinement tool in the Mediterranean configuration NEMOMED12. The mean impact of the mesoscale on DWF occurs mainly through the high‐resolution physics and not the high‐resolution bathymetry. This impact is shown to be modest: the mesoscale does not modify the chronology of the deep convective winter nor the volume of dense waters formed. It however impacts the location of the mixed patch by reducing its extent to the west of the North Balearic Front and by increasing it along the Northern Current, in better agreement with observations. The maximum mixed patch volume is significantly reduced from 5.7 ± 0.2 to 4.2 ± 0.6 × 1013 m3. Finally, the spring restratification volume is more realistic and enhanced from 1.4 ± 0.2 to 1.8 ± 0.2 × 1013 m3 by the mesoscale. We also address the mesoscale impact on the ocean intrinsic variability by performing perturbed initial state ensemble simulations. The mesoscale enhances the intrinsic variability of the deep convection geography, with most of the mixed patch area impacted by intrinsic variability. The DWF volume has a low intrinsic variability but it is increased by 2–3 times with the mesoscale. We relate it to a dramatic increase of the Gulf of Lions eddy kinetic energy from 5.0 ± 0.6 to 17.3 ± 1.5 cm2/s2, in remarkable agreement with observations.
Scaling the Ion Inertial Length and Its Implications for Modeling Reconnection in Global Simulations

We investigate the use of artificially increased ion and electron kinetic scales in global plasma simulations. We argue that as long as the global and ion inertial scales remain well separated, (1) the overall global solution is not strongly sensitive to the value of the ion inertial scale, while (2) the ion inertial scale dynamics will also be similar to the original system, but it occurs at a larger spatial scale, and (3) structures at intermediate scales, such as magnetic islands, grow in a self‐similar manner. To investigate the validity and limitations of our scaling hypotheses, we carry out many simulations of a two‐dimensional magnetosphere with the magnetohydrodynamics with embedded particle‐in‐cell (MHD‐EPIC) model. The PIC model covers the dayside reconnection site. The simulation results confirm that the hypotheses are true as long as the increased ion inertial length remains less than about 5% of the magnetopause standoff distance. Since the theoretical arguments are general, we expect these results to carry over to three dimensions. The computational cost is reduced by the third and fourth powers of the scaling factor in two‐ and three‐dimensional simulations, respectively, which can be many orders of magnitude. The present results suggest that global simulations that resolve kinetic scales for reconnection are feasible. This is a crucial step for applications to the magnetospheres of Earth, Saturn, and Jupiter and to the solar corona.

Numerous studies of the current sheets (CS) in the Earth's magnetotail showed that quasi‐adiabatic ion dynamics plays an important role in the formation of complicated multilayered current structures. In order to check whether the similar mechanisms operate in the Martian magnetotail, we analyzed 80 CS crossings using MAVEN measurements on the nightside of Mars at radial distances ~1.0–2.8RM. We found that CS structures experience similar dependence on the value of the normal component of the magnetic field at the neutral plane (BN) and on the ratio of the ion drift velocity outside the CS to the thermal velocity (VT/VD) as it was observed for the CSs in the Earth's magnetotail. For the small values of BN, a thin and intense CS embedded in a thicker one is observed. The half‐thickness L of this layer is ~30–100 km ≤ ρH+ (ρH+ is a gyroradius of thermal protons outside the CS). With the increase of BN, the L also increases up to several hundred kilometers (~ρO+, ρO2+), the current density decreases, and the embedding feature disappears. Our statistical analysis showed a good agreement between L values observed by MAVEN and the CS scaling obtained from the quasi‐adiabatic model, if the plasma characteristics in Martian CSs are used as input parameters. Thus, we may conclude that in spite of the differences in magnetic topology, ion composition, and plasma thermal characteristics observed in the Earth's and Martian magnetotails, similar quasi‐adiabatic mechanisms contribute to the formation of the CSs in the magnetotails of both planets.

We present MMS observations during two dayside magnetopause crossings under hitherto unexamined conditions: (i) when the bow shock is weakening and the solar wind transitioning to sub‐Alfvénic flow and (ii) when it is reforming. Interplanetary conditions consist of a magnetic cloud with (i) a strong B (∼20 nT) pointing south and (ii) a density profile with episodic decreases to values of ∼0.3 cm−3 followed by moderate recovery. During the crossings the magnetosheath magnetic field is stronger than the magnetosphere field by a factor of ∼2.2. As a result, during the outbound crossing through the ion diffusion region, MMS observed an inversion of the relative positions of the X and stagnation (S) lines from that typically the case: the S line was closer to the magnetosheath side. The S line appears in the form of a slow expansion fan near which most of the energy dissipation is taking place. While in the magnetosphere between the crossings, MMS observed strong field and flow perturbations, which we argue to be due to kinetic Alfvén waves. During the reconnection interval, whistler mode waves generated by an electron temperature anisotropy (Te⊥>Te∥) were observed. Another aim of the paper is to distinguish bow shock‐induced field and flow perturbations from reconnection‐related signatures. The high‐resolution MMS data together with 2‐D hybrid simulations of bow shock dynamics helped us to distinguish between the two sources. We show examples of bow shock‐related effects (such as heating) and reconnection effects such as accelerated flows satisfying the Walén relation.
