Attitudes Regarding Re-offense Likelihood of Sexual Offenders based on the Offender's Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Among Mental Health Professionals
Creators: name: Nowak, Weronika
Publisher: name: Midwestern University
Year: 2024
Subjects: Clinical Psychology

description:        Public attitudes toward sexual offenders are often filled with hatred, intense anger, hostility, and fear (Evans & Cubellis, 2014; Klein & Cooper, 2019). Sexual offenders are often attached to negative stigmas due to public fear that results from a moral panic. It often leads sexual offenders to be victims of vigilante attacks (Cubellis et al., 2018; Frenzel et al., 2014). Research has shown individuals who identify as part of the gender and sexual orientation minority groups are subject to negative public attitudes that results in being victims of hate crimes (Plumm et al., 2010). These minority communities were criminalized, and at one point could be part of the sexual offender registry due to their identified or perceived orientation (Levitt, 2019; Plumm et al., 2010). These two marginalized communities are often met with moral panic that leads to punitive measures for the individual (Levitt, 2019; Plumm et al., 2010). Sexual offender’s public stigma leads to increased restrictions that are meant, by law makers, to quell public fear and decrease chances for re-offending (Casey et al., 2019; Elliott et al., 2016; Jones & Brewster, 2017; Woods, 2017). Research has shown these negative and punitive views for sexual offenders do not assist in decreasing recidivism rates (Devilly & Le Grand, 2015). The purpose of this study is to examine mental health professionals’ attitudes regarding sexual offenders’ likelihood to re-offend based on the offender’s gender identity and sexual orientation. The current study utilized vignettes, two scales, and sentencing decisions to analyze re-offense likelihood attitudes. The results were analyzed utilizing one-way ANOVAs, Chi-squares, and Factorial ANOVAs. The results yielded no significant differences regarding re-offense likelihood in regard to the offender’s sexual orientation and gender identity. There was a significant difference found in the sentencing decisions, in which, bisexual transgender offenders were given the highest sentence.

description: This manuscript describes the antioxidant activity of essential oil of Cinnamon (Cinnamomum zeylanicum) bark extracted by supercritical fluid extraction (SCFE), hydro distillation and steam distillation. The cinnamon bark essential oil exhibited a wide range of total phenolic contents, total flavonoid contents, reducing power, inhibition of linoleic acid peroxidation and DPPH radical-scavenging activity (IC50). Bioactivity of cinnamon essential oil was assayed against various bacterial strains including Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, Pastrurella multocida and Straphylococcus aureus and fungal strains including Aspergillus niger and Aspergillus flavus. More essential oil yield was obtained using SCFE in comparison to other methods. The oil extracted by SCFE was dominated by cinnamaldehyde, limonene, copaene, naphthalene, heptane, bicyclo[4.2.0]octa-1,3,5-triene and 2-propenal. Due to the presence of cinnamaldehyde in the essential oil of cinnamon bark it acts as a good antioxidant and antimicrobial agent.

description: This study investigates the polyphenol content of Diplotaxis simplex extract and the biological activities of the main organ. The analysed extracts showed that polyphenol contents varied considerably as a function of organs. Furthermore, novel biological activities of this species were assessed. Flower extracts exhibit a potent in vitro antioxidant capacity using oxygen radical absorbance capacity and displayed a strong anti-inflammatory activity, inhibiting nitric oxide release, by 79.3% at 160 μg/mL. Our findings suggested that the Diplotaxis flower is a valuable source of antioxidants and anti-inflammatory agents.

description: We investigated the effect of theaflavins (TFs) on membrane barrier of Caco-2 cells. For fluorescein-transport experiments, the apparent permeability (Papp) of fluorescein in Caco-2 cells pretreated with 20 μM TFs were significantly decreased compared with that in untreated cells. Although the respective monomeric catechins did not show any Papp reduction, purpurogallin pretreatment resulted in a significant Papp reduction similar to that of TF-3′-O-gallate (TF3′G) pretreatment. This indicates that the benzotropolone moiety may play a crucial role in the Papp reduction or tight junction (TJ)-closing effect induced by TFs. In TF-3′-O-gallate-pretreated Caco-2 cells, fluorescein transport was completely restored by compound C (AMPK inhibitor). In addition, TF3′G significantly increased both the mRNA and protein expression of TJ-related proteins (occludin, claudin-1, and ZO-1) as well as the phosphorylation of AMPK. It was, thus, concluded that TFs could enhance intestinal barrier function by increasing the expression of TJ-related proteins through the activation of AMPK in Caco-2 cells.

description:       Homelessness is an unfortunate societal problem, with some estimates suggesting that  there are over a quarter million homeless individuals in the United States (Annual  Homeless Assessment Report to Congress, 2021). Consequences of homelessness are  wide ranging and can include the development or increase in mental health symptoms  and even a significant decrease in life expectancy. A significant amount of research has  been conducted on the issue of homelessness in the United States. Much of the research  attempts to discover specific factors that are associated with homelessness, such as substance use, poor family support, mental illness, etc. Research has also been conducted  on the effectiveness of programs that are designed to curb homelessness. The majority of  the previous research focuses primarily on describing the programs and identifying  factors associated with failure to complete programming, which in turn results in future  episodes of homelessness. Little attention has been paid to identifying specific factors  that homeless programs themselves view as deficits in their ability to provide adequate  services. The purpose of this study was to complete a needs assessment with homeless  shelter providers in the Midwest, in order to examine their perceptions of programming in  the following domains: housing, employment, mental health services, substance abuse  and general funding. Due to the overrepresentation of veterans among the homeless,  services for this population were also assessed. Respondents described a lack of overall  funding for homeless services, as well as funding deficits in most of the specific  programming domains. Deficits were most pronounced for mental health and substance  abuse programming. Implications of these findings as well as limitations and suggestions  for future research are detailed.

description: Two genes encoding RelA/SpoT homologs, PpRSH2a and PpRSH2b, which are involved in the synthesis of bacterial alarmone guanosine 5′-diphosphate 3′-diphosphate (ppGpp) for the stringent response, were isolated from the moss, Physcomitrella patens. A complementary analysis of PpRSH2a and PpRSH2b in Escherichia coli showed that these genes had ppGpp biosynthetic activity. The recombinant PpRSH2a and PpRSH2b were also shown to synthesize ppGpp in vitro. Both proteins were localized to the chloroplasts of P. patens. Expression of the PpRSH genes was induced upon treatment with abscisic acid or abiotic stresses, such as dehydration and UV irradiation. Overexpression of PpRSH2a and PpRSH2b caused suppression of the growth in response to 1% (w/v) of glucose. The present study suggests the existence of a mechanism to regulate the growth of P. patens, which is governed by plant RSH in chloroplasts

description: Chitinase hydrolyzes the β-1,4-glycosidic bond in chitin. In higher plants, this enzyme has been regarded as a pathogenesis-related protein. Recently, we identified a class III chitinase, which functions as a calcium storage protein in pomegranate (Punica granatum) seed (PSC, pomegranate seed chitinase). Here, we solved a crystal structure of PSC at 1.6 Å resolution. Although its overall structure, including the structure of catalytic site and non-proline cis-peptides, was closely similar to those of other class III chitinases, PSC had some unique structural characteristics. First, there were some metal-binding sites with coordinated water molecules on the surface of PSC. Second, many unconserved aspartate residues were present in the PSC sequence which rendered the surface of PSC negatively charged. This acidic electrostatic property is in contrast to that of hevamine, well-characterized plant class III chitinase, which has rather a positively charged surface. Thus, the crystal structure provides a clue for metal association property of PSC.

description: Tulipalin B (α-methylene-β-hydroxy-γ-butyrolactone, PaB) is an antimicrobial natural product occurring in tulip (Tulipa gesneriana). PaB is directly formed from the precursor glucose ester 6-tuliposide B (PosB) by endogenous Pos-converting enzyme (TCE). Despite the potential usefulness of antibacterial PaB in various industrial applications, lack of facile synthetic schemes hampers its practical use. Herein, we describe an environmentally benign and facile process for the preparation of PaB using tulip biomass materials based on one-step enzyme reaction catalyzed by TCE without the use of petroleum-derived solvents. By screening 115 tulip cultivars, we found three elite cultivars, which accumulated PosB almost exclusively in flower tissues. The flower extracts with aqueous ethanol were partially purified with activated charcoal and subjected to the enzyme reaction with reusable immobilized TCE prepared from bulb crude extracts. The reaction was completed in a few hours at room temperature, and PaB was purified with activated charcoal and ethanol in a batch-wise manner.

Revision of Wabularoo, an early macropodid kangaroo from mid-Cenozoic deposits of the Riversleigh World Heritage Area, Queensland, Australia. Alcheringa 39, xxx–xxx. ISSN 0311-5518Since its original description, the phylogenetic relationships of the macropodoid Wabularoo naughtoni Archer, 1979, from the Riversleigh World Heritage Area have remained a mystery. We have recovered new material representing the upper dentition previously unknown for this late Oligocene taxon, and new early Miocene specimens representing the upper and lower dentition of a second species, W. prideauxi sp. nov. We assessed their phylogenetic relationships using matrices from two previous studies, and recovered both species of Wabularoo as basal macropodids. Wabularoo is characterized by having bilophodont molars, large sectorial P3/p3 with coarse ridges, presence of a forelink, neometaconule and postlink on M1–3, well-developed anterior cingulum, precingulum, postparacrista and premetacrista on all upper molars, and retention of StC on M1–2. Although the subfamilial affinities of Wabularoo are unresolved, we propose that several morphological features of the dentary and the upper and lower third premolar suggest affinity with Sthenurinae. These features include short diastema, posteriorly positioned digastric eminence, presence of posterior mental foramen, and similar molar and premolar morphology. If our interpretations are correct, sthenurines arose from basal macropodids between the early and middle Miocene.Kenny J.

y wt%-TiH2 1 wt% foams produced by powder metallurgy, five distinct compositions including Al-Si7-SiC3, Al-Si7-SiC5, Al-Si7-TiB23, Al-Si7-SiC3-TiB23 and Al-Si7-SiC7-TiB27 were prepared. The effects of adding SiC and TiB2 particles, together and separately, on attainable density, cell structure and compressive behavior of such foam were examined. It was found that increasing the amount of SiC and TiB2 particles in Al-Si foams improves yield strength. The results also showed that addition of ceramic particles increases non-uniformity of cell structure. Furthermore, increasing TiB2 does not significantly affect maximum expansion and therefore does not affect the minimum density.

description: The ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) was employed to extract geniposide from Gardenia jasminoides, and the effects of extraction temperature, extraction time, ultrasound power, solvent/sample ratio, and particle size on the concentration of geniposide were investigated. A kinetic model was proposed to describe the extraction process based on Fick’s first law and the medicinal herb extraction mechanism, and the calculated values were in good agreement with the experimental data. The results indicated that the model could be used to better comprehend the ultrasound-assisted extraction of geniposide from Gardenia jasminoides and systematically optimize the process.

We use conical diffraction in a thin biaxial crystal to generate illumination patterns that are more compact than the classical Gaussian beam, and use them to generate a super-resolution imaging modality.While there already exist several super-resolution modalities, our technology (biaxial super-resolution: BSR) is distinguished by the unique combination of several performance features. Using BSR super-resolution data are achieved using low light illumination significantly less than required for classical confocal imaging, which makes BSR ideal for live-cell, long-term time-lapse super-resolution imaging. Furthermore, no specific sample preparation is required, and any fluorophore can be used. Perhaps most exciting, improved resolution BSR-imaging resolution enhancement can be achieved with any type of objective no matter the magnification, numerical aperture, working distance, or the absence or presence of immersion medium.In this article, we present the first implementation of BSR modality on a commercial confocal microscope. We acquire and analyze validation data, showing high quality super-resolved images of biological objects, and demonstrate the wide applicability of the technology. We report live-cell super-resolution imaging over a long period, and show that the light dose required for super-resolution imaging is far below the threshold likely to generate phototoxicity.

description: Soil organic amendment addition is an effective practice in Mediterranean areas due to its associated high agricultural benefits and its potential to reduce the pesticide impact on water resources. However, their metabolites have received scarce attention, even when they may pose more risk than their parent compounds. Two winery vermicomposts obtained from spent grape marc (V1) and the mixture vine shoot-biosolid vinasses (V2) have been investigated as low cost organic amendments to minimize the leaching of diuron, imidacloprid and their metabolites in columns packed with a sandy loam (S1) and a silty-clay loam soil (S2) under steady state flow conditions. In the unamended soil columns, leached amounts of diuron were 75% and 53% in S1 and S2, respectively. Its metabolites (3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1-methylurea, DPMU; and 3,4-dichlorophenylurea, DPU) percolated less than 35% of the total applied amount. The amount of the metabolite 3,4-dichloroaniline (DCA) was 2% and 30% for S1 and S2, respectively. Leaching of imidacloprid was 79% and 96% for S1 and S2, respectively, while its metabolite 6-chloronicotinic acid (CNA) was entirely leached. In the vermicompost-amended columns, the leaching of diuron was reduced 2 to 3-fold. DPMU and DPU were also significantly reduced (more than 6-fold). DCA did not appear in any of the leachates of the amended soil columns. Imidacloprid leaching was reduced 1 to 2-folds in the amended columns. The amendments did not affect the transport of CNA. The dissolved organic carbon (DOC) from the vermicomposts did not enhance pesticide transport throughout the soil in any case. This qualitative study presents these vermicomposts as an effective potential low-cost tool in reducing pesticide and metabolite leaching. The next step would be to test them under more realistic conditions.

description: The Ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) was employed to extract geniposide from Gardenia jasminoides, and the effects of extraction temperature, extraction time, ultrasound power, solvent/sample ratio and particle size on the concentration of geniposide were investigated. A kinetic model was proposed to describe the extraction process based on Fick’s first law and the medicinal herb extraction mechanism, and the calculated values were in good agreement with the experimental data. The results indicated that the model could be used to better comprehend the ultrasound-assisted extraction of geniposide from Gardenia jasminoides and systematically optimize the process.

description: A sensitive and efficient method has been developed for the simultaneous determination of 73 multi-class acidic pesticides, such as phenoxy acid and sulfonylurea herbicides, in vegetables and fruits. The sample preparation procedure was carefully optimized for the efficient removal of co-extracted matrix components. The method involves extraction of acidic pesticides with acetonitrile containing hydrochloric acid, removal of water from crude extract by salting out, and sequential cleanup by octadecylsilyl silica gel and silica gel columns. For samples containing high amounts of pigments, such as spinach, additional cleanup using a graphitized carbon column was performed prior to liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS) analysis. Recovery tests were performed for five times for each sample of cabbage, spinach, potato, eggplant, orange, and apple fortified at 0.01 mg kg−1. Out of the 73 tested pesticides, 70 for cabbage, 67 for spinach, 69 for potato, 67 for eggplant, 64 for orange, and 70 for apple were within the range of 70–120%, with relative standard deviations below 25%. Nitenpyram and pyrasulfotole showed low recoveries for all the samples tested, probably due to low recoveries from silica gel column. The developed method effectively removed co-extracted matrix components and was highly selective, with no interfering peaks found in the chromatograms of blank samples. The overall results indicate that the developed method is suitable for the quantitative analysis of acidic pesticide residues in vegetables and fruits.

description: Multiliteracies theory extends the notion of literacy well beyond the traditional linear text-based definition of reading and writing (New London Group, 1996). It addresses the saliency of cultural and linguistic diversity and the multiplicity of communication channels and media available in our rapidly changing world. Multiliteracies involve engagement with multiple design modes, linguistic, visual, audio, gestural, spatial, and multimodal being a combination of the different modes. This research emerged from the need to open a space for students in an international languages school teaching Arabic language to engage in creative, aesthetic, alternative, and multimodal forms of literacy that involve the integration of the various semiotic resources in their meaning-making and design of texts. It is about a lived teaching-learning journey that draws on the concept of living pedagogy and dwelling in the in-between spaces of curriculum-as-plan and curriculum-as-live(d) (Aoki, 1991). In this research journey, I share the possibilities that opened up when students between the age of eleven and fourteen years old engaged with multiliteracies in an international languages classroom that teaches heritage language. This research journey also presents how the participative type of inquiry and collaboration between the researcher and classroom teacher contributed to the enhancement of their knowledge and learning about multiliteracies practices. After listening to and discussing a literary text presented by the teacher, students responded by creating their own texts to show their understanding of the narrative genre. They produced multimodal arts-based (Barton, 2014; Sanders & Albers, 2010) and digital based texts (Knobel & Lankshear, 2013). Through a multiliteracies/multimodalities theoretical, epistemological, and methodological perspective (Albers, 2007; Jewitt & Kress, 2008; Morawski, 2012; Rowsell, 2013), and drawing from approaches such as participatory action research (Chevalier & Buckles, 2013), and bricolage (Kincheloe, 2004), I developed this research story through a process of braiding and interweaving of various modes of texts and genres to produce a métissage (Hasebe-Ludt, Chambers, & Leggo, 2009) of the live(d) narratives of my research praxis. This inquiry offers a glimpse as to how opening the space for creative approaches in the teaching of literacy engages students in the design of texts using both linguistic and non-linguistic semiotic resources and incorporating multiple modes of representation from which they produce arts, digital, and multimodal texts.

The Syntax and Semantics of Light Attitudes

description: This dissertation argues for the existence of functional attitude predicates, light attitudes, such as light say and light see. Two phenomena are identified as functional attitudes: evidentiality and logophoric say-complementizers. I propose that reportative evidential markers and logophoric licensing complementizers are cross-linguistic variations of overt morphosyntactic realizations of the same light attitude: a functionalized predicate say. The parallel between evidentiality and logophoricity drawn here highlights their properties that have not been discussed or formally accounted for until now, and explains why they are in a typological complementary distribution across the world's languages. At the same time, direct and reportative evidentials even within the same language exhibit a number of syntactic and semantic differences that have not been noticed in the literature before. I derive them from the analysis of reportative and direct evidentials as different kinds of functional predicates: say and perceive, respectively. After establishing the nature of evidentials, I develop their syntactic and semantic properties formally. I claim that light attitudes are hosted by a projection cP, which selects CP and has properties similar to that of the light verb projection vP, such as argument structure, thematic roles, and `flavors'. The semantic composition of light attitudes is based on that of lexical attitudes, for which I am following and expanding ideas from de-compositional semantics. This allows for a simple and conceptually motivated analysis that does not need any additional theoretical primitives. I develop novel methodology to test for evidential challengeability and newness of evidentials that take the between-evidential differences into account. The results support the representation of the evidential contribution as a presupposition.

description: The pressure of environmental sustainability and the introduction of strict transnational and local environment laws, regulations and targets have catalysed the emergency of Green IT. On individual level, Green IT can be achieved through environmentally responsible behaviour to purchase, use and disposal of products and services without damaging the environment. This research aims to investigate the Green IT behaviour of young consumers including their day-to-day Green IT practices, buying behaviour of mobile and computer devices and subscription behaviour of streaming services. The findings show that: 1) Understanding of Green IT practices (specific knowledge) has a positive influence on PBC, 2) Consumer’s PBC has a positive influence on Green IT behaviour and 3) The communication strategy has a positive influence on PBC. Research results also show that young consumers’ buying and subscribing decision are strongly influenced by factors such as appearance, specification, features, content and price than Green IT factors.

description: Leveraging miRNA-Seq data and the 1000 Genomes imputed genotypes, we identified rs174561-C as a strong miRQTL for circulating miRNA-1908-5p (P=4.8x10-31) which has an inverse relationship with circulating LDL-C, fasting glucose and A1c. Here I investigated the molecular mechanism(s) linking miR1908-5p to cholesterol metabolism. First, by overexpression experiments in HuH-7 cells demonstrate that the presence of the C allele, associated with lower LDL-C levels, significantly increases miR-1908-5p by 2.15-fold relative to the T allele. Further experiments revealed that 72-hour cholesterol depletion increases miR-1908-5p expression (2.11-fold) whereas cholesterol loading decreases miR-1908-5p expression (0.69-fold). Differential miR-1908-5p expression was then used to profile genes involved in lipoprotein signaling and cholesterol metabolism using a PCR array to identify LDLR as a gene of interest. Although total RNA and protein expression of LDLR was unchanged in response to differential miR-1908-5p expression, the ratio of the mature form to the cleaved form of LDLR decreased following miR-1908-5p inhibition (0.85-fold) and conversely, increased with mimic treatment (1.63-fold). Cleavage of the mature LDLR is known to reduce cell surface affinity for LDL. These findings uncover a potential mechanism linking miR-1908-5p to lower LDL-cholesterol levels through reduced LDLR cleavage.
