The effect of attachment on jury decision making
Creators: name: Meloni, Allyson
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2009

description: The proposed research had two goals: 1) to examine the effects of attachment on the decisions that jurors make and 2) to investigate and replicate findings from previous studies that have shown a relationship, though inconsistent, to jury decision making. In Study 1, participants were asked to read three real life court cases and make decisions on them. Attachment style was assessed (Bartholomew & Horowitz, 1991; Brennan et al, 1998). It was shown that attachment was related to jury decisions in that highly anxious individuals tended to be more punitive toward the defendant in the cases. In Study 2, participants were primed into differing attachment categories and their decisions were examined to see if through temporarily modifying attachment style, jury decisions might also be amended. The results suggested that priming did not function in the expected manner as there was a general increase in avoidance scores across all categories. Despite these priming issues, attachment was related to jury outcomes. In order to remedy the confound in the Study 2, Study 3 was conducted to assess the same issue but with a change in methods. Unexpectedly, there was a decrease in anxiety across all priming conditions suggesting that an opportunity to emotionally disclose about a relationship significantly impacted the priming procedure. As in Studies 1 and 2, the results of Study 3 showed a relationship between jury decisions and attachment. Finally, Study 4 tested the effects of attachment on jury decision making in a mock jury atmosphere. It was shown that highly anxious individuals were more likely to be swayed during the jury decision making process. The implications for these findings in the realm of the jury decision making literature as well as other possible variables influencing jury decisions are discussed.

Correlates of smoking behavior among older adolescents
Creators: name: Mee, Susan
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2009

description: This study developed and tested theory to gain a better understanding of smoking behavior among older adolescents.  This correlational study empirically tested theoretical relationships postulated between the dependent variable, smoking behavior and each of the independent variables of (a) depression, (b) social support and (c) smoking resistance self efficacy.  This study also tested the relationship of smoking resistance self efficacy and (a) social support and (b) depression.  In addition, this study examined two mediational models, which tested the role of smoking resistance self efficacy as a mediator in the relationship of (a) social support and smoking behavior, and (b) depression and smoking behavior. A convenience sample of 364 college students 18-21 years of age was recruited from a large urban public college in the South Eastern region of New York State.  Volunteers completed the study instrument which consisted of a demographic data sheet and three standardized instruments. There were statistically significant negative relationships between smoking resistance self efficacy and (a) smoking behavior, and (b) depression.  There was a statistically significant positive relationship between depression and smoking behavior.  Additionally, smoking resistance self efficacy was a mediator of the relationship between depression and smoking behavior.  The study did not provide evidence of a statistically significant relationship between (a) smoking behavior and social support and (b) smoking resistance self efficacy and social support.  Smoking resistance self efficacy failed to act as a mediator of the relationship between social support and smoking behavior.In summary, this study contributes to theory based nursing research in determining the role of SSE as (1) a mediator of the relationship between smoking behavior and depression, and (2) a strong correlate of smoking behavior.  Through the explication of SSE as mediator of the relationship between depression and smoking behavior, this study invites further nursing research, specifically those employing interventions designed to enhance SSE.  The findings of this study have implications for nursing interventions targeted to both current smokers and smoking initiation prevention.  In addition, this research identifies a need for further theory-driven study of the relationship of depression and smoking behavior among adolescents.

description: This talk was presented as part of a BioImaging North America hosted workshop entitled What is Image Metadata Anyway? Hands On Workshop for Cell Biology Image Data Life Cycle, which was held a the ASCB-EMBL CellBio 24 Annual Meeting.

Workshop schedule:

5 min Overview describing why to care about image metadata?

40 min Utilization of Recommended Metadata for Biological Images (REMBI)-based template spreadsheets to capture Experimental and Sample Description Metadata in a machine-readable manner.

30 min Community-developed checklists for publishing images and image analyses

15 min Tips & tricks and Questions & Answers.

Workshop summary:

The workshop included a hands-on tutorial based on a real-life scientific paper to teach attendees how to effectively and easily create both human and machine-readable documentation on how the experiment was performed. The workshop discussed all aspects of the experiment, from sample preparation to image acquisition, image analysis and publication. 

After an initial introduction providing general background on Research Data Management and Sharing, the First part of the tutorial concentrated on using REMBI-compatible template spreadsheets extracting relevant information from the paper and representing it in a Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable (FAIR). The second part of the tutorial, concentrated on how to use the published community checklists to maximize the quality of your published image figures and analysis. The target audience is cell biologists, imaging professionals, and educators using light microscopy techniques to generate quantitative image data.

In both parts of the tutorial, examples will be drawn from Wagner, et al. Medin co-aggregates with vascular amyloid-β in Alzheimer’s disease. Nature 612, 123–131 (2022). (https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-022-05440-3).

Exploring the relation between gender politics and representative government in the Maghreb
Creators: name: Mili, Amel
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2009

description: This thesis uses analytical and empirical methods to explore the relation between gender standards and democratic standards in the Maghreb, which includes Algeria, Morocco, and Tunisia.  The analytical approach consists of considering theories that link gender standards and democratic standards, and analyzing whether and to what extent such theories would apply or not apply to the Maghreb.  The empirical approach consists of taking measurements that reflect gender standards and democratic standards across the three countries and four different milestones of their recent history (1970, 1980, 1990, 2000), and applying statistical methods to compute correlations and regressions.   Because the empirical approach yields no significant correlation between gender standards and democratic standards in the Maghreb, I analyze this statistical correlation for other sets of countries that are part of Maghrebian identity:  Arab countries, Muslim countries, African countries, and Mediterranean countries.  The combined results of these analyses give us some insight into possible explanations of the empirical observations.

Publisher: name: OAS Bologna
Year: 2024

description: Questo report si propone di esplorare le iniziative intraprese dalINAF per celebrare il decimo anniversario della missione Gaia. In particolare, questo documento si concentra su due iniziative di rilievo: la creazione di un logo commemorativo e la produzione di un video che catturi l'essenza dei primi dieci anni del satellite dell’ESA e l'importanza che questa missione ha avuto per i ricercatori e le ricercatrici impegnati nella sua realizzazione all’interno del consorzio DPAC. Il logo commemorativo, frutto della collaborazione tra i membri del DPAC, vuole rappresentare in maniera simbolica i risultati ottenuti da Gaia e gli obiettivi futuri della missione. Esso non solo celebra il passato, ma riflette anche le nuove scoperte e gli sviluppi recenti. Il video commemorativo, invece, offre uno sguardo piu’ personale sui successi e le sfide affrontate nel corso degli ultimi dieci anni di ricerca spaziale dalle persone del DPAC. Attraverso interviste, immagini d'archivio, animazioni e simulazioni, il video si propone di trasmettere l'entusiasmo e la passione dei ricercatori che hanno contribuito al successo di questa missione pionieristica. Queste iniziative non solo celebrano il passato ma fungono anche da trampolino di lancio per il futuro della missione Gaia, con un'attenzione particolare ai nuovi risultati attesi per la quarta Data Release prevista per il 2025-26. Questo documento intende sottolineare l'importanza di tali iniziative nel comunicare al pubblico i risultati della ricerca scientifica e nel mantenere vivo l'interesse per la ricerca astronomica, promuovendo così la divulgazione scientifica e l'entusiasmo per l'esplorazione dello spazio.
Re-examining the causes of corporate securities fraud

description: The stock market provides investors with opportunities for wealth creation, but also allows corporations and brokers to commit securities fraud.  To date, criminologists have paid little attention to corporate securities fraud and this dissertation is designed to shed light on the problem from a criminological perspective. It compares the extent to which the rational choice perspective and corporate structure theory can help explain corporate crime.Using a case-control design, this research compares two groups of companies, litigated and non-litigated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The comparison was made in terms of size, financial performance, top management, and board structure, while controlling for industry and geographic location. The case group consists of 188 companies litigated by the SEC for securities fraud between 1999 and 2003. Another 188 companies which never have been litigated by the SEC served as the control group. The data were drawn from the COMPUSTAT North America database and the companies’ annual reports and proxy statements which are available from the SEC website.A Chi-Square analysis was used to analyze the relationship between firm size (independent variable) and litigation status (dependent variable), which was found to be statistically significant. Given that firm size might well affect the relationship between litigation status and other independent variables, a second group of control companies was selected while controlling for one more variable, firm size. Logistic regression was conducted to compare proposed causal variables and predict litigation status between litigated group and non-litigated group. The results found that small companies are more likely to be litigated. In addition, while average age of top management and financial performance are not significantly related to litigation status, length of service for top management and board structure are strongly associated with a company’s litigation status. These results provided support for the rational choice theory-related hypotheses. In particular, although firm size is significantly related to litigation status, the direction of the relationship is not consistent with the hypothesis based on the corporate structure theory.

Crouching bacteria, hidden tetA genes in natural waters: intracellular damage via double persulfate activation (UVA/Fe2+/PDS) effectively alleviates the spread of antibiotic resistance

description: In this study, we elucidated the chemical and biological inactivation mechanisms of peroxydisulfate (PDS) activated by UVA and Fe2+ (UVA/Fe2+/PDS) in wild-type antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB) isolated from a river in Inner Mongolia. Among the screened wild-type ARB, the relative abundance of unidentified Enterobacteriaceae, Stenotrophomonas, and Ralstonia was high. A ratio of 1:1 for Fe2+ and PDS under 18 W·m-2 UVA radiation (sunny days) completely inactivated the environmental ARB isolates. In the macro view of the inactivation process, Fe2+ first activates PDS rapidly, and later the UVA energy accumulated starts to activate PDS; HO then becomes the main active species at a rate-limiting step. From a micro perspective, damage to the cell wall, intracellular proteins, inactivation of antioxidant enzymes, and genetic material degradation are the inactivation series of events by UVA/Fe2+/PDS, contributing to the 97.8% inactivation of ARB at the initial stage. No regrowth of sublethal ARBs was observed. The transfer of tetracycline resistance genes from ARB to lab E. coli was evaluated by horizontal gene transfer (HGT), in which no HGT occurred when ARB was completely eliminated by UVA/Fe2+/PDS. Moreover, the sulfate and iron residuals in the effluents of treated water were lower than the drinking water standards. In summary, PDS, UVA, and Fe2+ activation effectively inactivated wild ARB with a low concentration of reagents, while inhibiting their regrowth and spread of resistance due to the contribution of intracellular inactivation pathways.

Reentry after the maximum expiration of a state custodial term in New Jersey

description: This dissertation investigates the phenomenon of inmates voluntarily forgoing early release from prison via parole and instead spending the remainder of their time behind bars.  The study highlights how these individuals fare in the community in regards to recidivism after their eventual release.  This research allows for a first look into the characteristics of this population, adds to the growing body of knowledge about parole supervision, and illuminates for New Jersey policy makers the effects of allowing inmates to refuse parole.   The investigation was accomplished through an analysis of archival data from the New Jersey Department of Corrections (NJDOC) and the New Jersey State Parole Board (NJSPB).  Data were utilized to explore a cohort of previously incarcerated persons returning to New Jersey communities in the year 2005.  The analysis compared three different groups within this cohort.  Groups include: (1) those who are released from the custody of the NJDOC before the expiration of their sentence via the discretion of the NJSPB and are subjected to a period of parole, (2) those who are not released to parole because of parole denial, and (3) those who are not released to parole supervision because of a voluntary denial of parole consideration on the part of the inmate.  The primary outcome, recidivism, was measured in three ways: (1) rearrest, (2) reconviction, and (3) reincarceration for new crimes.Results indicate that those who were paroled were less involved in post release criminal activity when compared to the other two groups.  However, those who voluntarily spent the rest of their sentence in an incarcerated setting were not significantly more involved in post release criminal activity than those who maxed out of prison due to parole denial.  Voluntary and involuntary max outs evidenced similar characteristics in regards to several important variables used to predict recidivism.  This evidences that if the ability to decide to forgo parole consideration were taken away from New Jersey inmates, it is unlikely that this population would be granted parole by the releasing authorities of the NJSPB.  Policy issues for both the NJSPB as well as the local criminal justice system are discussed.

description: Novel luminescent polystyrene-based organoborane polymers were synthesized via facile silicon-boron exchange reactions with boron tribromide. The Lewis acidity as well as the photophysical properties of the polymers were then fine tuned by variation of the organic pi-system. The key step is a selective boron-tin exchange that allows for controlled and selective replacement of one of the bromine substituents by the chromophoric system, followed by substitution of the second bromine by a sterically hindered aryl group. The polymers and model compounds were fully characterized by multinuclear NMR spectroscopy. Molecular weights were determined by GPC. DSC and TGA were used to determine their thermal properties. Both polymers and model systems are highly emissive and UV-visible and fluorescence spectroscopy were used to ascertain their photophysical characteristics. To probe the use of the polymers as potential anion sensors, they were subjected to complexation with fluoride ([Bu4N]F in THF) and their complexation was studied by 11B NMR as well as UV-vis and fluorescence spectroscopy.To counter the oxidative degradation of the systems a new strategy was adapted in which we prepared stannylcarbazole precursors which would act as chromophores. To further enhance the stability of the boron center in these systems the mesityl group was replaced by the bulkier 1,3,5-triisopropylphenyl group. The models and polymers synthesized show superior stability as compared to the compounds synthesized earlier. The compounds are also highly emissive in the blue region.Systems that contain electroactive ferrocenyl groups in the side-chain of polystyrene were also synthesized. Cyclic voltammetry studies confirm the electroactive nature of these polymers. A quasi-reversible boron redox couple and a ferrocene-centered redox process were observed.Finally, a trimethylsilyl-functionalized vinyl bithiophene monomer was prepared. This monomer was polymerized by a variety of methods including standard free radical polymerization (BPO, AIBN), via nitroxide-mediated polymerization (NMP) and also by anionic polymerization. Moderate molecular weights in the range of 4000 – 9000 were obtained.

description: H. vigisi Savinov, 1960
Type host. Greater scaup, Aythya marila (Linnaeus) (Anseriformes: Anatidae).
Type locality. Russian Federation; specific type locality unknown.
Remarks. Savinov (1960) could not be obtained; however, McDonald (1969a, 1969b, 1981) has provided a limited amount of additional information concerning this species, including an illustration (Fig. 17.2), but gave no measurements. McDonald (1981) indicated that there was a bean-shaped supplementary body attached to the posterior end of each testis. Such a structure would be unusual, but in senescing adult flukes it is not unusual to have the peripheries of the testes separate from the parenchyma leaving a space that might be construed as an additional structure. As far as we can determine this species was never adequately described and should be considered a species inquirenda and it was not included in our key to the species currently assigned to Hyptiasmus. No oral or ventral sucker described—McDonald, (1981).

description: Described herein is a mercury sample that has an isotopic composition that differs from the naturally occurring distribution of isotopes. In various configurations of an isotopically tailored mercury sample, the fraction of one or more isotopes is increased or decreased with respect to the natural fraction(s). A example of a lighting device comprises an envelope, a buffer gas enclosed within the envelope, a isotopically tailored sample of mercury vapor, and a current injection mechanism configured to excite the mercury vapor to emit light. In various configurations, the lighting device emits radiation at a wavelength of 254 nm and/or at a wavelength of 185 nm. In various configurations, the lighting device envelope includes a fluorescent coating that is excited by ultraviolet (UV) light emitted by the mercury vapor. In various configurations, the lighting device provides improved efficiency as compared to lamps employing mercury with a naturally occurring isotope distribution.

description: H. consimile Nicoll, 1914
Type host. Spur-winged lapwing or plover, Vanellus spinosus (Linnaeus) (Syn. Lobivanellus lobatus Linnaeus) (Charadriiformes: Charadriidae).
Type locality. Queensland, Australia.
Remarks. This species was originally described as Haematotrephus consimilis Nicoll, 1914. It was incompletely described by Nicoll (1914), who provided only a range of body length (10,000–12,000), a body width (2,000) and an egg size (200 x 80), and he did not illustrate the species. However, this species has the longest egg reported for any species in the genus where the rudimentary oral sucker is present with only H. lanceolatum (Wedl, 1885) (oral sucker absent) having a larger egg size in the genus. This unusual egg size allowed us to tentatively place this species in our key to species assigned to Haematotrephus. It should be noted that this species has a similar egg size to H. jaenschi (Johnston & Simpson, 1940) n. comb. (195 x 94), both have a rudimentary oral sucker and both species were described from Australia. This species was considered to be a synonym of H. simile Stossich, 1902 (= Uvitellina simile [Stossich, 1902] n. comb.) by Joyeux & Baer (1927), of H. lanceolatum by Dubois (1959) and of Cyclocoelum (H.) vanelli (Rudolphi, 1819) (= Uvitellina vanelli [Rudolphi, 1819]) by Dubois (1965). Nicoll (1914) described the area around the mouth as “a globular cup almost resembling an oral sucker. This cup is surrounded by a considerable mass of muscle fibers, but there is no external limiting membrane.” Rudimentary oral sucker present—Nicoll (1914).
