Transcultural wellness: An Exploratory Study
Authors: McDonald K. Elizabeth 
Published: December 2011

This study explored differences in wellness scores between a transcultural sample and the normative sample of the Five Factor wellness Inventory (5F‐wel; Myers & Sweeney, 2005c). Differences between the two groups were found on all scales of the 5f‐wel, with transculturals scoring higher than the normative sample. Implications for practitioners and researchers are presented for those working with transculturals.Este estudio exploró las diferencias en puntuaciones de bienestar entre una muestra transcultural y la muestra normativa de los Cinco factores del Inventario de Bienestar (5F‐wel, por sus siglas en inglés; Myers & Sweeney, 2005c). Se hallaron diferencias entre los dos grupos en todas las escalas del 5f‐wel, con las puntuaciones transculturales siendo más altas que la muestra normativa. Se presentan implicaciones para profesionales e investigadores que estén trabajando con individuos transculturales.
A STUDY OF VARIABLES RELATED TO SELECTED JOB PLACEMENT CRITERIA
Authors: Tomlin William A. , Anderson Harry E. 
Published: December 2011

AbstractA random sample of 70 training program graduates from the Georgia Rehabilitation Center was used in the present study. Three placement criteria were as follows: 1) salary; 2) number of weeks between graduation and employment; and 3) number of contacts by a field rehabilitation counselor between graduation and closure. Data were collected on 55 test and rating variables during the students' evaluation and training periods, and intercorrelations were examined to determine significant relationships between these variables and the selected criteria. The results were discussed in terms of program implications.
GROUP GUIDANCE IN AN EMPLOYMENT SERVICE SETTING
Authors: Sullivan Dorothy R. 
Published: December 2011

ABSTRACTSince socialization is a learned process, it has been hypothesized that through a group experience individuals might be assisted to develop improved interpersonal relationships, improved self‐confidence, and more relevant work attitudes and, thus, might be assisted to improve their employability. A questionnaire was devised in order to study the utilization and practice of group guidance in an Employment Service setting.
Careers for Women In Accounting
Authors: RAYBURN LETRICIA CAYLE 
Published: December 2011

Progress is being made in improving employers' attitudes toward women accountants. A few years ago, most organizations did not actively recruit women accountants. Recently, however, accounting firms have become aware of the increasing number of women accounting graduates and are sending women recruiters to college campuses to recruit prospective women applicants.To analyze the progress in employment opportunities available to women during the past five years, a follow‐up of a survey was conducted. Chi‐square contingency tests were used to analyze some of the results. The survey showed that most accounting firms are either actively trying to solve the problem of discrimination or are at least interested in seeking solutions. Some companies indicated that they would hire more women college graduates if they were qualified accountants.Women need better career planning and counseling. They should be encouraged to study job market forecasts in view of their personal abilities and goals. Many women either have not been aware of job opportunities in accounting or have been interested in the field but discouraged by the attitudes of parents, professors, or guidance counselors, or overt discrimination by employers. In the past, such attitudes may have caused many capable women to select the more traditional “feminine” professions instead.
Guide for Occupational Exploration: A New Approach in Career Planning
Authors: STROHMENGER C. TODD , PADGETT ADALINE 
Published: December 2011

The Guide for Occupational Exploration contains a new approach for presenting occupational information for use in career exploration. Its contents are in a nontechnical language and simple style intended for any reader with or without counseling help.The data are organized into 12 interest areas, 11 of which correspond directly to the interest factors in the new USES Interest Inventory currently being developed. Each area contains groups of jobs clustered according to common interests, capabilities, and adaptabilities of the workers. Jobs within each group are subgrouped for easy reading. Descriptive materials for the areas and groups focus on the characteristics of individuals as they relate to the characteristics required by the jobs.It is anticipated that this guide will provide an easy method of relating people potential to job requirements, which has not been possible with previous occupational exploration tools. In addition, it presents the student, the lay person, and others not conversant with technical language with a means of self‐exploration and job opportunities appropriate for their potential.
Staff Development as Self‐Development: Extension and Application of Russo's Humanistic‐Critical Theory Approach for Humanistic Education and Social Action Integration
Authors: Thornton Leslie J. , McEntee Mary Elizabeth 
Published: December 2011

The authors show how Russo's (1995) humanistic‐critical theory approach for social action integration requires shifting staff development focused on knowing and caring about others to self‐development that includes everyone. Rationale, resources, and successful action‐practice models support and extend Russo's theory for responsible social action education in a multicultural society.Instead of mastering and refining the use of methodologies, teachers and administrators should approach education by examining their own perspectives about society, schools, and emancipation. Rather than attempt to escape from their own ideologies and values, educators should confront them critically so as to understand how society has shaped them as individuals, to understand what it is they believe, and to understand how to structure more positively the effects they have upon students and others. Put another way, teachers and administrators, in particular, must attempt to understand how issues of class, gender, and race have left an imprint upon how they think and act. —Henry A. Giroux
Perception of Self and Scholastic Underachievement in the Academically Capable
Authors: COMBS CHARLES F. 
Published: December 2011

This study explored differences in the ways that underachievers and achievers perceive themselves and their relationships to the world around them. Achiever and underachiever groups, each consisting of 25 high school junior boys who were 115 IQ or better, were administered an apperceptive device. Protocols were analyzed in terms of six continua of perception. The statistical analyses utilizing t and F tests (with a predetermined 5 per cent Alpha level) demonstrated very significant differences between the groups. Underachievers showed significant and consistent differences from achievers in that they:
Saw themselves as less adequate,
Saw themselves as less acceptable to others,
Saw their peers as less acceptable,
Saw adults as less acceptable,
Showed an inefficient and less effective approach to problems,
Showed less freedom and adequacy of emotional expressions.
Suggestions are made of certain factors that may produce underachievement and certain possible directions for future research.
Differences in Occupational Choice Between Ninth and Twelfth Grade Boys
Authors: MONTESANO NICHOLAS , GEIST HAROLD 
Published: December 2011

In order to test hypotheses drawn from patterns of vocational development, the Geist Picture Interest Inventory, Male (GPII:M) was administered to 60 high school boys along with a form used to collect statements about reasons for choice. Responses were assigned to vocationally relevant categories using criteria provided by expert judges.It was found that there was a discernible direction of change in occupational decision making with age. Older boys use interest less, abilities more, and cite occupational variables to a significantly greater degree than younger boys. Interest is a potent consideration in vocational decision making of both older boys and younger boys, but the older boys tend to qualify their interests. The findings suggest that tentative reliance may be placed upon the possibility of identifying steps in vocational development but that attention must also be given to qualitative and intensity factors. Implications for a descriptive body of information at various developmental levels are also suggested.
Persistence in Ability‐Achievement Discrepancies and Kuder Scores
Authors: WAGMAN MORTON 
Published: December 2011

The research questions were (a) to what extent will students who in their high school years have made grades discrepant with their abilities continue to show such discrepancies in college and (b) how are interests related to such persisting (or changing) patterns of ability‐achievement discrepancies? The population of fall, 1958, University of Illinois freshmen was studied. At each SCAT decile level the distribution of college grade‐point averages was broken into an overachieving, an averageachieving, and underachieving group. A similar procedure was used to establish high school ability‐discrepancy groups. The hypothesis that each such high school group (underachievers, averageachievers, overachievers) would tend to persist in its own characteristic discrepant pattern in college was supported by the findings.General hypotheses and specific predictions were developed relating patterns of ability‐achievement discrepancies to Kuder scales. The results were: (1) A positive relationship between scholastic overachievement and the Kuder conflict‐avoidance, ideational, computational, and literary scales; (2) A negative relationship between scholastic overachievement and Kuder mechanical (except for Engineering students) and outdoor (only for Liberal Arts women) scales.
Pterodactyls, Passenger Pigeons, and Personnel Workers
Authors: SORENSON GARTH 
Published: December 2011

If it is to survive as a significant part of the educational enterprise, school counseling must become a more rigorous and better integrated discipline. Our role in the school system must be clarified. Both our ethical and psychological assumptions must be made more explicit and subjected to logical analysis. Our psychological concepts must be tested empirically.Our major goal should continue to be that of increasing the freedom of the individual student, in a literal sense. This can best be done by helping him increase the number of significant courses of action available to him at important decision points in his life. The counselor's efforts, therefore, should focus on the decision‐making process. Counselors should teach students to search for more rather than fewer alternative solutions to their educational, vocational, and personal problems and to evaluate the probable consequences of each alternative in terms of both the external events that are likely to follow and also the individual's own internal reactions to those events. Some of the implications of this view for counselor training are explored.
The Role of Values in the Counseling Situation
Authors: ROKEACH MILTON , REGAN JOHN F. 
Published: December 2011

A client's problem can be conceptualized as a values problem. Yet there is still much confusion surrounding the concept of values, and closely related issues have not been adequately defined or researched. This article reviews various meanings of values and the authors' preferred distinction between terminal and instrumental values. A case illustration describes the usefulness of the Rokeach Value Survey and of the “method of self‐confrontation” in value therapy. Research on the Value Survey and the method are summarized, with suggestions for their use with different types of clients and in different settings.C. Gilbert Wrenn gives his personal reactions to the article. These range from “frustrating” to “most satisfying.”
The Impact of World Views on Professional Life‐styling
Authors: SMITH DARRELL 
Published: December 2011

A world view expresses the presuppositions a person makes about his or her world. These basic presuppositions center on the nature of ultimate reality, of the universe, of mankind, the meaning of death, the basis of ethics, and the meaning of human history. The four perspectives of theism, deism, agnosticism, and atheism summarize views regarding these six issues. Then the influence of each of the four perspectives on certain counseling issues that are seen as the warp and woof of a counselor's value system are analyzed. These special counseling issues are the counselor‐client relationship, motives for counseling, counseling goals, the method of dealing with special problems, and the choice of counseling strategies. One implication of this analysis is that counselors‐in‐training should study all the perspectives and also formulate for themselves a personal counseling approach that reflects thinking on both the six world issues and the special counseling issues. The second implication of the analysis is that the authentic counselor can work with others in a climate of respect for world views that differ from his or hers. The counselor does not threaten their beliefs—even when helping them to explore, clarify, and develop personal values.Jeffry Tindall reviews the philosophical approach that Smith proposes and urges that the emphasis of counselors be focused in the philosophical area of axiology.

Authors: Metcalf Sylvia Frances 
Published: December 2011

An instance of the remarkable results of vocational guidance in solving a handicapped case which had appeared to be both baffling and hopeless.Here was a hard and unusual problem to be met by the usual methods of vocational guidance. This boy, with both arms gone, wished to paint. But he had no fingers with which to hold a brush,—or even to indicate whether or not be possessed artistic talent!! The results have been remarkable, and prove that the vocational counselor can find a solution for the most seriously handicapped cases, as well as those not disabled.
A COUNSELOR AND A VISITING TEACHER DESCRIBE THEIR JOBS*
Authors: McCradie Annie , Ferguson Bertha 
Published: December 2011

When, a year and a half ago, counselors were appointed in the Minneapolis High Schools, there was some concern lest the counselor and the visiting teacher might tread on each other's toes. However, both these people realized that there were more than enough problems to keep them very busy and that it would be merely a matter of studying what types of problems each could handle most effectively. Much consideration was given to this matter during the first year.A few months ago, at the request of Philip E. Carlson, Principal of Roosevelt Junior‐Senior High School, the visiting teacher and the counselor of that school made a study of the tasks and types of cases that were being handled in their respective offices and formulated the following job analyses.

THE GOOD LIFE AND THE WORLDS WORK
Authors: Keller Franklin J. 
Published: December 2011

History is one New Deal after another. Society has to check its purposes and performances as conditions change. The American problem of today is still the equalization of opportunities. The National Occupational Conference, of which Dr. Keller is executive director, desires to help, as much as possible, in the solution of this problem. The first step in the solution, so far as occupational opportunities are concerned, is making them known. But these opportunities depend not alone on the occupation but on the individual. The individual, to make use of them, must have knowledge of his own abilities and be aware of the occupations into which they fit. The methods and techniques of guidance come into the picture as a means of bringing these two kinds of knowledge together. Dr. Keller, in this article, discusses the three phases of the problem in terms of a chart of abilities and occupations adapted from F. M. Earle, and amplified to show the fields in which the National Occupational Conference may function in gathering up the results of previous studies and furthering needed additional researches, in order that the whole field of knowledge and research may be better coordinated, with the ultimate aim of the better adjustment of the individual to occupational life.Theory and practice are considered as merely two different aspects of the problem as a whole. In conclusion, the program of NOC activities and services is briefly outlined.
Delivery of Active DACH‐Pt Anticancer Species by Biodegradable Amphiphilic Polymers Using Thiol‐Ene Radical Addition

Published: December 2011

AbstractA biodegradable and amphiphilic copolymer, mPEG‐b‐P(LA‐co‐MAC/TMA) that contains pendant 1,2‐bidentate carboxyl groups is synthesized by thiol‐ene radical addition and is further used to chelate with the active anticancer species (DACH‐Pt) of oxaliplatin to form an mPEG‐b‐P(LA‐co‐MAC/TMA‐Pt‐DACH) complex. The polymer platinum complex can self‐assemble into micelles. In vitro studies show that the DACH‐Pt micelles display enhanced or comparable cytotoxicity against SKOV‐3 and MCF‐7 cancer cells, while they show reduced toxicity to HeLa cells compared with oxaliplatin.magnified image
An enhanced protein crosslink identification strategy using CID‐cleavable chemical crosslinkers and LC/MSn analysis
Authors: Liu Fan , Wu Cong , Sweedler Jonathan V. , Goshe Michael B. 
Published: December 2011

AbstractWe describe a novel two‐step LC/MSn strategy to effectively and confidently identify numerous crosslinked peptides from complex mixtures. This method incorporates the use of our gas‐phase cleavable crosslinking reagent, disuccinimidyl‐succinamyl‐aspartyl‐proline (SuDP), and a new data‐processing algorithm CXLinkS (Cleavable Crosslink Selection), which enables unequivocal crosslink peptide selection and identification on the basis of mass measurement accuracy, high resolving power, and the unique fragmentation pattern of each crosslinked peptide. We demonstrate our approach with well‐characterized monomeric and multimeric protein systems with and without database searching restrictions where inter‐peptide crosslink identification is increased 8‐fold over our previously published data‐dependent LC/MS3 method and discuss its applicability to other CID‐cleavable crosslinkers and more complex protein systems.

Published: December 2011

AbstractThe use of Enterococcus faecalis in the food industry has come under dispute because of the pathogenic potential of some strains of this species. In this study, we have compared the secretome and whole‐cell proteome of one food isolate (E. faecalis DISAV 1022) and one clinical isolate (E. faecalis H1) by 2‐DE and iTRAQ analyses, respectively. Extracellular protein patterns differed significantly, with only seven proteins common to both strains. Notably, only the clinical isolate expressed various well‐characterized virulence factors such as the gelatinase coccolysin (GelE) and the extracellular serine proteinase V8 (SprE). Moreover, various other putative virulence factors, e.g. superoxide dismutase, choline‐ and chitin‐binding proteins and potential moonlighting proteins, have been detected exclusively in the secretome of the clinical isolate, but not in the food isolate. The iTRAQ analysis of whole‐cell proteins of the two strains highlighted a stronger expression of pathogenic traits such as an endocarditis‐specific antigen and an adhesion lipoprotein in the pathogenic strain E. faecalis H1. Subsequently, six food isolates (including E. faecalis DISAV 1022) and six clinical isolates (including E. faecalis H1) were tested for the presence of gelatinase and protease activity in the culture supernatants. Both enzymatic activities were found in the clinical as well as the food isolates which clearly indicates that protease expression is strain specific and not representative for pathogenic isolates. Genetic analyses revealed that not only the gelatinase and serine protease genes but also the regulatory fsr genes must be present to allow protease expression.
Electron Ionization of Dimethylphenylsilane – Appearance Energies of Selected Ionic Fragments

Published: December 2011

AbstractElectron ionization (EI) to dimethylphenylsilane (DMPS) is studied in crossed electron‐molecular beams experiment. Using this technique with improved energy resolution of the electron beam, the positive mass spectra and the relative partial cross sections for EI to DMPS are obtained. The ionization energy of DMPS of 9.04 ± 0.06 eV and the threshold energies for dissociative ionization channels are estimated. The bond dissociation energies for single bond cleavage channels are also estimated on the basis of experimental observations. The detection of doubly charged ions of DMPS2+ (AE = 26.3 ± 1 eV) as well as several other doubly charged fragments is discussed in detail.magnified image
Interaction Mechanisms between ArO2 Post‐discharge and Biphenyl
Authors: Dal'Maz Silva Walter , Belmonte Thierry , Duday David , Frache Gilles , Noël Cedric , Choquet Patrick , Migeon Henri‐Noel , Maliska Ana Maria 
Published: December 2011

AbstractInteractions between a late ArO2 post‐discharge and biphenyl (C6H5)2 are studied. Thin films grown by spin‐coating are efficiently etched by the post‐discharge to get a clean surface after treatment. Thin films are strongly preferentially oriented. But this orientation does not depend on the way the sample is pretreated. The pretreatment can create cracks and modify the etching rate. The etching of the biphenyl occurs by interaction with the singlet state of molecular oxygen O2(a1Δg). [4 + 2] cycloaddition is assumed to be the main process leading to ring opening. Next, a large variety of compounds including alcohols, ketones, acids, and aldehydes are created. Atomic oxygen does not seem to play a significant role in the etching process but it functionalizes the biphenyl by creating alcohol groups.magnified image
GaN‐based Schottky barrier ultraviolet photodetector with a 5‐pair AlGaN–GaN intermediate layer
Authors: Lee Kai Hsuan , Chang Ping Chuan , Chang Shoou Jinn , Wu San Lein 
Published: December 2011

AbstractA GaN‐based Schottky barrier diode (SBD) with a 5‐pair AlGaN–GaN intermediate layer for ultraviolet (UV) photodetector (PD) was fabricated and investigated. It was found that we could achieve a smaller dark leakage current and noise level by using the 5‐pair AlGaN–GaN intermediate layer. For our device biased at −5 V, the responsivity at 360 nm was found to be 0.26 A/W and the UV‐to‐visible rejection ratio was estimated to be 1.83 × 104. At the same bias, it was found that minimum noise equivalent power and normalized detectivity of our device were 1.00 × 10−9 W and 1.45 × 109 cm Hz0.5 W−1, respectively. This indicates a simple and effective way to fabricate high‐performance PDs for UV detection.
