description: There is an urgent need for valid and reliable measures of physical activity (PA) participation for use among people with physical and/or sensory disabilities. This study involved adapting the Leisure Time PA Questionnaire for People with Spinal Cord Injury for use in individuals with disabilities (i.e., the LTPAQ-D) and performing a preliminary evaluation of its content validity, construct validity, and same-day test–retest reliability in people with disabilities. User interviews assessed the content validity (n = 5). A cross-sectional study assessed the construct validity and same-day test–retest reliability (n = 27, 45 ± 21 years). Participants completed the LTPAQ-D, other self-report measures of aerobic and strength training PA, as well as tests of cardiorespiratory fitness (i.e., peak oxygen consumption (V˙O2peak)) and muscular strength. LTPAQ-D measures of min/week of aerobic LTPA, aerobic moderate-to-vigorous PA (MVPA), and strength training shared medium-to-large correlations with other self-report measures of aerobic and strength training PA (r = 0.458–0.942, ps < 0.01). After controlling for age, aerobic LTPA and MVPA shared moderate partial correlations with V˙O2peak (r = 0.341 and 0.356, respectively). Min/week of strength training, measured by the LTPAQ-D, was associated with predicted maximal strength on the chest press (r = 0.621, p = 0.009). All LTPAQ-D measures demonstrated good-to-excellent test–retest reliability (intraclass correlations = 0.709–0.948, ps < 0.01). This study provides preliminary evidence of the validity and reliability of the LTPAQ-D as a measure of LTPA among people with disabilities.
Il nuovo volto delle città umbre nella restaurazione pontificia: Antonio  Mollari a Foligno

description: Il «Concorso per la Decorazione della facciata, e ristauro della Torre», bandito nel febbraio del 1834 dal Comune di Foligno, inaugura la stagione umbra delle “facciate addossate”: vere e proprie maschere di pietra e stucco che non si sostituiscono alla facciate preesistenti, ma si giustappongono ad esse in guisa di contrafforte. In questo modo, nelle zone ad alto rischio sismico, l’esigenza di rinforzo strutturale si connette strettamente alle istanze di aggiornamento di gusto nell’ornato urbano. Antonio Mollari, autore del progetto prescelto dalla commissione deputata dalla Pontificia Accademia di Belle Arti di Bologna, è un pioniere di tale strategia. Il suo progetto di concorso per la nuova facciata del Palazzo Comunale di Foligno lo inserisce a buon diritto nel novero degli architetti e degli ingegneri che, nella prima metà dell’Ottocento, cambiano radicalmente il volto delle città umbre con un lungo elenco di edifici pubblici di grande qualità: Pietro e Vincenzo Ghinelli, Luigi Poletti, Virginio Vespignani, Ireneo Aleandri.

The “Concorso per la Decorazione della facciata, e ristauro della Torre” (contest for façade decoration and tower restoration) announced in February 1834 by Foligno’s Municipality, inaugurates the Umbrian period of “leaned-against façade”: authentic stone and plaster masks that do not replace preexisting façades, but juxtapose to them as a buttress. Thus, in high seismic risk areas, the necessity of a structural support is strictly connected to the request of a revision of the urban decoration style. Antonio Mollari, author of the project selected by the appointed Bologna’s “Pontificia Accademia di Belle Arti” committee, is a pioneer of the above metioned strategy. His contest project for the new façade of Foligno’s Palazzo Comunale rightfully places him in that group of architects and engineers who, in the first half of the XIXth century, radically changed Umbrian cities aspect with a long list of high quality public buildings, namely Pietro e Vincenzo Ghinelli, Luigi Poletti, Virginio Vespignani, Ireneo Aleandri.

Exploring the Role of Culture and Race in African American Adolescents
Creators: name: Cartman, Obari
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2007

description: There are myriad definitions of the terms race, ethnicity and culture in social
sciences literature. Often these terms are used interchangeably with no conceptual
rationale. This study aims to contribute to our greater understanding of the similarities
and differences between the conceptualization and use of race and culture as they are experienced by African American adolescents. Multiple regression analyses and factor analysis were conducted for 223 African American high school aged students who
completed a survey about racial and ethnic identity and a variety of positive youth
development outcomes. Results showed preliminary support for race and culture being
distinguishable yet intricately related. Results are also presented that compares the
relationship of either a racial or cultural orientation on various youth development
outcomes.

Gate Control Theory and its Application in a Physical Intervention to Reduce Children's Pain during Immunization Injections
Creators: name: Mennuti-Washburn, Jean
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2007

description: Vaccinations provide protection against deadly diseases and children are scheduled to receive many immunization injections before the age of six. However, painful procedures, such as immunizations cause negative short- and long-term consequences for children. The Gate Control Theory of Pain suggests that physical interventions may be helpful, but they have not yet been validated as an effective intervention to manage children?s acute pain. This randomized trial examined the effectiveness of the ShotBlocker?, a physical intervention designed to decrease children?s injection pain, in a sample of 89 4- to 12- year-old children receiving immunizations at a pediatric practice. An ANOVA revealed no significant effect of treatment group (Typical Care Control, Placebo, and ShotBlocker?) on any measure of child distress. Clinical and theoretical implications are discussed.
Mediational Effects of Perceived Child Control and Parental Coping Assistance on Peer Problem Outcomes in Families of Children with Developmental Disabilities
Creators: name: Snead, Kara
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2007

description: Literature to date suggests that child coping is often a direct result of coping assistance provided by parents. Findings have not considered aspects of the stressor that may impact what the parent suggests; specifically, the child?s role, and the controllability of the stressor particularly for children with intellectual disabilities. The current study examines how the child?s disability status and parental perceptions of the child?s control over a peer problem influence the type of coping suggestions parents offer and how specific types of coping assistance affect the outcome of the coping situation. Results indicated that mothers of children with mental retardation provided more passive coping assistance and perceived their children as having less control over peer problems. Coping assistance was not directly linked to problem outcomes which suggests future studies should incorporate measures of factors such as direct parent and teacher assistance and child?s willingness or ability to implement coping suggestions.
Tre protagonisti dell’architettura neoclassica a Trieste:  Matteo Pertsch, Antonio Mollari, Pietro Nobile

description: Dopo un breve excursus sui caratteri dell’ urbanistica neoclassica di Trieste, ci si concentra sull’apporto di alcuni dei protagonisti della progettazione architettonica, tra fine Settecento e prima metà dell’Ottocento, e sui principali edifici pubblici e privati edificati (Borsa, Teatro, chiese, ospedale, palazzi e palazzetti) che hanno dato risalto all’omogeneità visiva dell’imprinting neoclassico: espressione di una classe emergente che associa l’utilità al decoro, ma non indulge all’ostentazione e agli sprechi, la nuova borghesia dei commerci marittimi. Quella stessa alta borghesia cresce per dimensioni e attività finanziarie e poi innesta lo sviluppo storicistico ed eclettico della Trieste borghese del secondo Ottocento, non trascurando però l’aspetto neoclassico che coinvolge in nuove dimensioni.

After a brief excursus on the characters of the Neoclassical town planning in Trieste, the author analyzes the contribution of the main architects who were there active between the second half of the 18th century and the first half of the 19th century. The attention is paid to the main public and private buildings (the Stock Exchange, the Theatre, the churches, the Hospital, the palaces and the houses). All of them gave a sort of visual homogeneity of the Neoclassical imprinting; they are expression of an emergent class that lies utility to decorum, but does not cease to the ostentation and wastes: the new bourgeois class of commerce. In the second half of the 19th century, this same bourgeois class enlarges its financial activities and gives beginning to the Eclecticism and Historismus, without forgetting the Neoclassical aspects in a new large dimension.

Asian American Perceived Racism: Acculturation, Racial Identity, Social Context, and Sociopolitical Awareness as Predictors of Asian American Perceived Racism
Creators: name: Lee, Jae Hyun
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2007

description: Asian Americans are believed to be immune to social barriers and challenges, because of their successes in the U.S. society. This belief, also known as the model minority myth, has caused Americans including Asian Americans themselves to believe that they are not faced with social challenges such as racism. The goal of this study was to examine the relationship among acculturation, racial identity, social context and sociopolitical awareness. Series of multiple regressions were conducted to examine the predictive model. The findings suggested three plausible models of perceived racism among Asian Americans. First two models suggested that racism should be distinguished from stereotypes. Third possible model suggested that racial identity and social context may mediate the relationship between assimilation and perceived racism. The study?s psychological and societal implications are discussed.

Organizational Characteristics and Adolescent Political Development: Exploring the Experience of Youth Activists in Youth Development Organizations
Creators: name: Armstrong, Michael
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2007

description: Interest in youth civic engagement continues to increase and a small but growing group of organizations are seeking to get young people involved in political activism. At the same time, researchers are giving more attention to the features of adolescent settings and how they relate to the overall development of young people. What remains to be absent is a contextual understanding of how the characteristics of adolescent settings contribute specifically to political development.

The purpose of this study is to identify organizational level characteristics of youth organizations that promote the political development of adolescents. Semi-structured interviews and grounded theory analysis with 15 young activists revealed a ?Big Six? of organizational characteristics and properties that influence participation in societal involvement behaviors. Post hoc analyses also revealed potential relationships between political development and the Big Six. Implications for both theory and practice are discussed and directions for future research are delineated.
Nonverbal Evidence of Displaced Intergroup Affect

description: This study examined the effects of racial insult on the propensity to either categorize or individuate outgroup members. Reaction times and self-reports measures were employed to gauge reactions to an insulting video. White and African American participants heard an insult, and then completed the Go/No-Go Association Task (GNAT), as well as the Internal Motivation to Control Prejudice Scale (IMS) and the External Motivation to Control Prejudice Scale (IMS), the Motivation to Control Prejudice Scale (MCPRS) the Social Distance Scale (SDS), and made ratings on a feeling thermometer about the people in the insult video. African Americans showed more negative responses to outgroup members than Whites on the explicit measure, but Whites showed more negative responses to outgroup members than African Americans on the implicit measure.

description: People living with HIV (PLWH) can exhibit impaired immune responses to vaccines. Accumulating evidence indicates that PLWH, particularly those receiving antiretroviral therapy, mount strong antibody responses to COVID-19 vaccines, but fewer studies have examined cellular immune responses to the vaccinations. Here, we used an activation-induced marker (AIM) assay to quantify SARS-CoV-2 spike-specific CD4+ and CD8+ T cells generated by two and three doses of COVID-19 vaccines in 50 PLWH receiving antiretroviral therapy, compared to 87 control participants without HIV. In a subset of PLWH, T-cell responses were also assessed after post-vaccine breakthrough infections and/or receipt of a fourth vaccine dose. All participants remained SARS-CoV-2 infection-naive until at least one month after their third vaccine dose. SARS-CoV-2 infection was determined by seroconversion to a Nucleocapsid (N) antigen, which occurred in 21 PLWH and 38 control participants after the third vaccine dose. Multivariable regression analyses were used to investigate the relationships between sociodemographic, health- and vaccine-related variables, vaccine-induced T-cell responses, and breakthrough infection risk. We observed that a third vaccine dose boosted spike-specific CD4+ and CD8+ T-cell frequencies significantly above those measured after the second dose (all p < 0.0001). Median T-cell frequencies did not differ between PLWH and controls after the second dose (p > 0.1), but CD8+ T-cell responses were modestly lower in PLWH after the third dose (p = 0.02), an observation that remained significant after adjusting for sociodemographic, health- and vaccine-related variables (p = 0.045). In PLWH who experienced a breakthrough infection, median T-cell frequencies increased even higher than those observed after three vaccine doses (p < 0.03), and CD8+ T-cell responses in this group remained higher even after a fourth vaccine dose (p = 0.03). In multivariable analyses, the only factor associated with an increased breakthrough infection risk was younger age, which is consistent with the rapid increase in SARS-CoV-2 seropositivity that was seen among younger adults in Canada after the initial appearance of the Omicron variant. These results indicate that PLWH receiving antiretroviral therapy mount strong T-cell responses to COVID-19 vaccines that can be enhanced by booster doses or breakthrough infection.
Memory for "What", "Where", and "When" Information by Rhesus Monkeys (Macaca Mulatta) and Adult Humans
Creators: name: Hoffman, Megan
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2007

description: The purpose for the present study was to examine working memory for what, where, and when information in rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta) and adult humans using a computerized task.  In Experiment 1, monkeys and humans completed three delayed matching-to-sample (DMTS) tasks: 1) identity DMTS, 2) spatial DMTS, and 3) temporal DMTS.  In Experiments 2, the identity and spatial tasks were combined so that monkeys had to report both what and where information about an event.  In Experiment 3, the identity, spatial, and temporal tasks were combined in order to examine what-where-when memory integration.  In Experiment 4, monkeys and humans were presented with two sequential events, and a memory cue indicated which event they were required to report.  The rhesus monkeys and human participants were able to report all three components of the events and there was some evidence suggesting that these components were integrated in memory for the rhesus monkeys.

description: The persistent shortage of affordable housing in the United States, coupled with aging infrastructure and rising energy costs, disproportionately impacts low-income households, particularly in historically disinvested communities. Addressing this challenge requires innovative, scalable solutions that balance affordability, energy efficiency, and climate resilience. This study introduces the BUILT2AFFORD dashboard, an integrated tool leveraging machine learning (ML) and Google Street View (GSV) imagery to pre-identify low-cost passive retrofit strategies for preserving and improving affordable housing. The dashboard assesses existing building conditions, evaluates energy retrofit potential, and mitigates heat-related health risks. The research involved on-site audits of single-family homes and Section 8 apartments, combined with continuous monitoring of indoor environmental conditions such as temperature, humidity, and CO2 levels. Preliminary results reveal significant opportunities for energy savings and improved thermal comfort, with scenarios like infiltration reduction and insulation upgrades achieving substantial reductions in energy use. The dashboard’s validation through eight testbeds demonstrates its potential to address housing challenges in South Bend, Indiana while advancing carbon-neutral and equity goals. This paper highlights how integrating advanced technologies into retrofit planning can enhance housing quality, reduce displacement risk, and foster climate resilience in vulnerable communities.

Estimating the Capacity of Visual Short-Term Memory: A Transcranial Doppler Sonography Study
Creators: name: Barrett, Natasha
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2007

description: Estimates of the capacity of visuospatial short-term memory (VSTM) have ranged from less than 1 item to 4 +/- 1 items.  The purpose of the present study was to find the capacity of VSTM by looking at the contribution of the other working memory systems (phonological loop and central executive) and determine the factor that limits VSTM capacity (either number of objects or object complexity).  In this study, the psychophysiological measure of cerebral blood flow velocity also was incorporated to determine whether changes in cerebral blood flow velocity were indicative of VSTM performance and capacity.  Both performance measures and cerebral blood flow velocity indicate that capacity for random polygons is approximately one object.  Complexity of the objects affected capacity, such that simple objects had higher capacities and lower cerebral blood flow velocity than complex objects.  Other working memory systems were not found to have an effect on performance.
Effects of a High Fructose Diet on Physiology and Cognition in Male Sprague-Dawley Rats
Creators: name: Ross, Amy
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2008

description: Fructose consumption has increased exponentially during the past four decades. The physiological effects of a high fructose diet include obesity and insulin resistance. In animal models, the effects of a high fructose diet on fat distribution are inconclusive in that some studies find increases in body mass and lipids while others find no effect. Recent findings indicate that a high fructose diet causes hippocampal insulin resistance in hamsters, raising the possibility that the diet causes impairments in cognition. The following experiments tested the hypotheses that a high fructose diet alters fat distribution rather than total body mass and impairs hippocampal-dependent memory. Results indicated that the high fructose diet did not affect fat distribution, but did increase plasma triacylglycerides. Interestingly, the diet also impaired spatial reference memory in the Morris water maze, and this effect was correlated with plasma triacylglycerides. These results indicate that a high fructose diet impairs brain function.
title: The Effect of the Equation of State on the Properties of Disc-Instability Planets
Creators: name: Fenton, Adam
Publisher: name: University of Central Lancashire
Year: 2024

description: The discs around young stars may be massive enough to trigger gravitational instability and fragmentation. This process may form a number of bound objects that collapse to form protoplanets. In this thesis I run hydrodynamic simulations to investigate the effect of the thermodynamics of the disc on the properties of planets that form by gravitational instability.

I model the thermodynamics of a gravitationally unstable disc with the Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics code PHANTOM, using a barotropic equation of state (EOS) combined with a locally isothermal EOS to provide a minimum temperature floor. In doing so, I mimic the effect of radiative feedback from the central star. I explore a parameter space wherein the critical density (i.e. the density at which the EOS switches from isothermal to adiabatic), the adiabatic index and the initial disc temperature are varied. I discuss the effect of these variations on the properties of protoplanets.

Most of the fragments, regardless of the equation of state used, form second cores (i.e. protoplanets) with masses below the planetary mass threshold (13 MJ) and initial radii of 2-8R⊙. The mass of the first core increases with steeper equations of state, with the most massive fragments (> 80MJ) forming with equations of state with γ = 1.8. Broadly speaking, the fragments that form in discs governed by steeper equations of state have wider first core accretion shocks and higher specific angular momentum. Equations of state with shallow adiabatic zones (γ = 1.2) form fragments that do not reach sufficiently high temperatures in their centres to trigger the dissociation of hydrogen and so do not form a second core. These fragments fall in to one of two morphological groups: those with very small first cores with radii of ∼ 0.005 − 0.01AU and those first cores with larger radii of ∼ 0.1AU. The latter group often exhibit evidence of spirals centred on the fragment. 

A key finding of this work is that though the fragments that form by gravitational instability are approximately axisymmetric, they show evidence of being flattened and are oblate spheroids rather than spherical objects as has previously been assumed. I also find that fragments accrete gas from the disc from polar-aligned inflows (along with flows on the the disc mid-plane).

I have shown that the fragments that form in gravitationally unstable discs are sensitive to the specific equation of state, with their final mass having a strong dependence on the adiabatic index. I have also found that they are not spherically symmetric and their 3D structure must not be overlooked.
Self-concept in Children with Intellectual Disabilities
Creators: name: Donohue, Dana
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2008

description: Self-concept, or feelings about oneself, encompasses various areas including social and academic domains and has been suggested to be a predictor and mediator of other outcomes (Bryne, 1996). In this study, the relationships between achievement, intelligence scores, and self-concept in children with mild intellectual disabilities were examined. Self-concept and WISC verbal intelligence scores evidenced significant relationships. Additionally, relationships were demonstrated between gains in achievement and higher ratings of self-concept. These results suggest that relationships exist between intelligence, achievement, and self-concept in elementary school children with MID. Specifically, a positive relationship was demonstrated between achievement gains and self-concept. Associations between intelligence and self-concept also were demonstrated, where higher intelligence scores were related to both lower nonacademic self-concept and higher cognitive self-concept.
Relationships between Religion and Prejudice:  Implicit and Explicit Measures.
Creators: name: Denney, Horace
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2008

description: This study examined the relationship among implicit and explicit measures of prejudice (against African-Americans, homosexuals, and Muslims), Right-Wing Authoritarianism (RWA), Religious Fundamentalism (RF), and Christian Orthodoxy (CO). The implicit measure of prejudice was Facial EMG, which is the measurement of the activity of key facial muscles when participants were exposed to pictures of members of the minority groups, as well as to pictures of the corresponding group. The explicit measure of prejudice was the Social Distance Scale, which measures how willing people are to have someone in a variety of close relationships. The primary hypothesis was that one?s score on the implicit (and some of the explicit) measures of prejudice can be predicted using RF, CO, and RWA. The analyses revealed that RWA was predictive of prejudice against homosexuals and Muslims, but not against African-Americans.

The Association between Social Context and Phase of Recovery among Drug Court Clients: A Gender Comparison
Creators: name: Zorland, Jennifer
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2008

description: The association between drug court clients? pro-drug and pro-recovery social context at multiple ecological levels, and phase of recovery was assessed, and gender comparisons were evaluated. Drug courts provide alternatives to incarceration for substance abusing offenders, providing treatment within clients? social environments. The findings indicated that social context is associated with recovery, and that this relation differs by gender. Specifically, increased favorable attitudes toward drug use among social referents were associated with men being in an earlier phase of recovery and women being in a later phase of recovery. Furthermore, perceived encouragement to use drugs was associated with being in earlier phases of recovery, while positive outcome beliefs related to recovery were associated with being in later phases of recovery. Therefore, drug courts may lead to positive long-term outcomes, as social context can be addressed during the recovery process. Additionally, these courts might benefit from incorporating gender-specific components into treatment.
Fidelity-Outcomes Relationships in the Expect Respect Program

Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2008

description: The effects of program fidelity, gender, socioeconomic status, and school level were tested on various outcomes of a dating violence prevention program, Expect Respect.  Fidelity data was collected from program facilitators, and individual posttest scores were gathered for individuals nested within each programmatic site.  Multiple HLM models indicated that main effects for fidelity were present for the knowledge gained outcome scale, such that higher program fidelity led to higher posttest scores for participants. No other site level predictors affected outcomes or the fidelity-outcome relationship.  Results from this study point towards the importance of implementing program fidelity when cognitive gains are a central goal of the program, whereas a more flexible program approach may be more optimal in conveying other programmatic components.

description: Abstract

La base dell’odierna Galleria Strossmayer dei maestri antichi dell'Accademia delle Scienze e delle Arti di Zagabria è costituita dalla donazione dei quadri rinascimentali e barocchi acquistati dal vescovo Josip Juraj Strossmayer (1815-1905) dall'inizio degli anni Sessanta fino agli anni Ottanta dell’Ottocento, prevalentemente in Italia. La corrispondenza del vescovo rivela i rapporti che egli aveva intrapreso con i suoi agenti per gli acquisti delle pitture.

L’agente e il consigliere del vescovo, Imbro I. Tkalac (1824-1912), politico e giornalista, visse in esilio in Italia dal 1863 e diventò un impiegato del Governo dell’Italia unita. Fu tramite Tkalac che Strossmayer iniziò a comprare dai maggiori mercanti d’arte e da affermati antiquari, con l’aiuto di consiglieri di fama, come ad esempio Giovanni Morelli e Giovanni Battista Cavalcaselle.

Uno degli acquisti di Tkalac è La Crocifissione, oggi attribuita al Maestro di San Verecondo. Questo frammento delle "Marche disperse" era di proprietà del cardinale Carlo Luigi Morichini (1805-1879). Le ricostruite circostanze della sua provenienza e dell’acquisto riflettono i requisiti e le aspettative riposte sul mercato dell’arte nella seconda parte dell’Ottocento e dimostrano preferenze e limiti del gusto prevalente tra i collezionisti d’arte di una certa posizione nell’epoca e nell’area prese in considerazione.

The basis of today's Strossmayer's Gallery of Old Masters in Zagreb is a donation of Renaissance and Baroque paintings, collected by bishop Josip Juraj Strossmayer (1815-1905) from the early 1860s until the 1880s, mostly in Italy. Bishop's correspondence with his agents for painting acquisitions abound in descriptions of artworks, their state of conservation, the course of their buying and selling and the negotiations on prices and costs.

Bishop's agent and adviser Imbro I. Tkalac (1824-1912), politician and journalist, lived in Italian emigration from 1863 onwards and became an official of the United Italian government. It was through Tkalac that Strossmayer began purchasing from high profile professional art and antiques dealers, with the help of respected advisors among which were Giovanni Morelli and Giovanni Battista Cavalcaselle.

Here we are presenting one of Tkalac’ acquisitions, a fragment from "Marche disperse", a large Crucifixion today attributed to Maestro di San Verecondo, used to be the property of cardinal Carlo Luigi Morichini (1805-1879). The reconstructed circumstances of its provenance and purchase depict the requirements and expectations on the art market in the second half of the 19th Century and show the preferences and boundaries of taste prevailing among art collectors of a certain position at a given time and in a particular area.

description: Biochar application is considered a potential approach to mitigating greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) from the agricultural sector and improving soil physicochemical properties. Thus, we conducted a field experiment to examine the efficacy of biochar application rates in combination with water management practices on soil methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions and carbon increment in the Vietnamese Mekong Delta (VMD). Rice husk biochar (RB) and Melaleuca biochar (MB) were incorporated in the topsoil (0–20 cm) at 5 and 10 Mg ha−1, followed by the water management regimes of continuous flooding (CF) and an alternative wetting and drying (AWD). The results identified that biochar application rates and water management measures were major factors in decreasing CH4 and N2O emissions. Compared with the conventional practice, the RB and MB amendment in the rice fields under CF practices reduced 12.9–21.3% of total GHGs (tGHGs), while biochar incorporation under the AWD management practice reduced from 22.3% to 30.5% tGHGs. Compared to CF treatments, biochar amendment concerning the AWD regime lowered from 25.4% to 31.6% tGHGs. Increasing biochar from 5 to 10 Mg ha−1 did not reduce tGHGs considerably. We identified that biochar application significantly increased grain yields from 12.8% to 20.6% under the CF management practice, while the percentage varied from 2.5% to 3.8% for the AWD practice. Similarly, higher grain yields were achieved from 4.9% to 13.7% by applying AWD compared to the CF treatments. Our findings showed that although higher biochar application rates could reduce the tGHGs, the difference in biochar types and water management applications in connection with the tGHGs was neglectable. Incorporating biochar enhanced soil bulk density and porosity under AWD and CF practices. Going forward in further studies, we recommend a long-term biochar application in the VMD’s low-lying paddy fields with a broader range of biochar rates under different soil types.
The Posterior Bed Nucleus of the Stria Terminalis Mediates Opposite-Sex Odor Preference in Male Syrian Hamsters (Mesocricetus Auratus)

description: In Syrian hamsters, social behavior is mediated exclusively by chemosensory cues and circulating gonadal steroid hormones. Where these two signals are processed in the brain is unknown, but the posterior bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (pBNST) has been suggested as a candidate site. Therefore, we tested male hamsters? preference for opposite-sex odors following excitotoxic lesions of the pBNST. Lesions of the pBNST (pBNST-X) eliminated male hamsters? preference for opposite-sex odors. Furthermore, pBNST-X males spent significantly less time investigating female odors than clean odors and significantly less time investigating female odors than control males did. Lesions of the pBNST did not change male hamsters? investigation of male odors. The deficits observed in pBNST-X males were not due to a failure to discriminate between odors, as pBNST-X males were able to distinguish between odors. Together, these data suggest the pBNST is critical for opposite-sex odor preference in male hamsters.
Violence Outside to Violence Within: The Experience of Sexual Minorities in Schools and Intimate Relationships

description: The current study explored the association between sexual minorities? experiences in schools and relationships. Socio-political-psychological theory provided a framework for the exploration of how retrospective reports of sexual orientation violence in school (SOVS) and school environment predicted the experience and perpetration of sexual minority intimate partner violence (SMIPV). Because of its relation to both school and interpersonal violence, alcohol was also hypothesized to predict rates of experiencing and perpetrating SMIPV. Group differences for all scales were explored on the basis of sexual orientation, gender, race/ethnicity, and education. Chi-square and analysis of variance analyses revealed several significant differences. Logistic regressions revealed that the experience of SOVS was not found to significantly affect the risk of experiencing or perpetrating SMIPV. However, a negative school environment was found to affect the risk of experiencing and perpetrating SMIPV differentially by gender and race, respectively. Results also revealed that alcohol significantly predicted the perpetration of SMIPV.

description: Nell’era della globalizzazione, esistono imprese che valorizzano il patrimonio culturale periferico? Se sì, quali? Qual è il loro modello di business? Quali i processi organizzativi chiave? Con l’obiettivo di rispondere a queste domande, si è dapprima svolta un’indagine desk sulla base della quale, in funzione di proxies quali la longevità e il radicamento territoriale, si sono selezionate tre imprese italiane operanti in tre differenti settori manifatturieri tradizionali e sulle quali si è focalizzata la ricerca on field. L’indagine ha portato alla mappatura dei processi organizzativi core attraverso i quali le imprese selezionate danno voce e visibilità all’unicità del patrimonio culturale in cui sono immerse. A partire dalle evidenze empiriche, si è elaborato un modello idealtipico d’impresa metaforicamente definito arbor vitae. In una cornice dialettica tra deduzione e induzione, il modello proposto offre ai policy makers un possibile strumento per identificare e incentivare comportamenti d’impresa orientati alla valorizzazione del patrimonio culturale periferico e altresì ai decision makers aziendali un originale frame teorico per interpretare strategicamente l’ologrammatico rapporto impresa-territorio.

In the era of globalization, are there are companies that enhance the peripheral cultural heritage? Which ones? What is their business model? What are their key organizational processes? With the aim to answer these questions, we first carried out a desk survey on the basis of which, according to the proxies “longevity” and “territorial roots”, we selected three Italian companies operating in three different traditional manufacturing sectors. Field research has led to map the core organizational processes through which the selected companies give voice and visibility to the uniqueness of the cultural heritage in which they are embedded. Starting from the empirical evidence, we developed an ideal-typical firm model metaphorically called arbor vitae. In a dialectic frame between deduction and induction, the model offers policy makers a tool to identify and encourage firm behaviors oriented to the enhancement of peripheral cultural heritage and also to the business decision makers an original theoretical framework to strategically interpret the hologramatic relationship firm-territory.

Normative Violence? The Impact of Gender-neutral Language on Self-reported Rates of Sexual Violence Victimization and Perpetration
Creators: name: Anthony, Elizabeth
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2008

description: The effect of gender-neutral language in a survey designed to measure unwanted sexual experiences was examined. Methodological issues pertaining to survey design and significant variability in prevalence estimates of sexual violence demonstrate that further refinement of self-report instruments is necessary. As a variety of macrolevel forces influence individual behavior, the current study contends that coercive tactics used to obtain sex in mixed-gender interactions are normalized by the traditional heterosex script and conveyed through gender-specific language. Reference to respondents? sexual partners in gender-neutral, as opposed to gender-specific terms, was hypothesized to result in more disclosure of sexually coercive victimization and perpetration experiences. Logistic regression analyses revealed no statistically significant differences in disclosure between language conditions. Null findings are interpreted with reference to the broader gender-neutral language literature and implications for future research are suggested.
