An Examination of the Influence of Stress and Coping on Psychosocial Functioning in Caregivers of Children with Sickle Cell Disease
Creators: name: Welkom, Josie
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2009

description: Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) is a genetic disorder that affects approximately 1 out of every 600
African-American newborns (NHLBI, 2006). Research suggests that caregivers of children with
SCD are at risk for maladjustment. The purpose of this current study was to build upon previous
research regarding stress and coping of parents of children with SCD. Additionally, novel
information regarding the effects of racial identity was explored. Participants included 103
caregivers (M = 41.1 years old, SD = 8.04 years) of children with SCD. Parents completed a
demographic form, the Brief Symptom Inventory-18, Pediatric Inventory for Parents, Coping
Health Inventory for Parents, and the Multidimensional Inventory of Black Identity. Results
revealed that increases in caregiver stress associated with parenting a chronically ill child were
accompanied by increases in caregiver psychosocial maladjustment. Caregiver coping did not
significantly predict functioning nor moderate the stress-adjustment relation. Exploratory
analysis revealed significant associations between parents? racial identity and parenting stress.

2008 U.S. Presidential Election: Persuasive YouTube Interactions About War, Health Care, and the Economy
Creators: name: Zimmerman, Lindsey
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2009

description: Persuasive appeals posted to United States presidential candidates' YouTube videos were coded
using a grounded theory mixed-methods design. 37,562 comments about education, energy, Iraq,
health care, the economy, and the presidential debates were randomly collected by date and time
for three studies using coding analysis: pilot, presidential primaries, and the presidential election.
Seven argument types were identified and theoretically refined according to dual process models
of persuasion: reason-based, candidate-based, emotion-based, endorsements, enthusiasmheuristic,
other-interest and self-interest. Theoretical comparisons and hypothesis testing of
argument types were conducted by issue and election event. Consistent with impression
involvement, reason-based appeals were more frequent during the primaries, whereas consistent
with value and outcome involvement, emotion- and candidate-based appeals were more frequent
during the election.

description: This study uses sour cherries (Prunes census L.) pomace extract as a reducing agent to demonstrate the creation of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and preparation of starch film via blending glycerol, polyethylene glycol, and produced starch-AgNPs in different concentrations 1, 2, 3, and 4% of AgNPs with starch film as control. The prepared starch-Ag nanocomposite films were used for packaging strawberries at 4°C. Characteristics of the composite films included FTIR, XRD, SEM, and UV-vis spectroscopy. The composite films with 4% AgNPs showed a smooth surface, as the SEM results showed. Following blending with glycerol and AgNPs, the FTIR result changed the starch’s structure. After adding AgNPs, the composite film’s flexibility improved. The starch-Ag nanocomposite films demonstrated significant antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Candida albicans. Weight loss was used to assess the impact of packing on the quality and shelf life of packed strawberries during storage, the effect time on pH, and microbial growth throughout a 14-day storage period. The results indicate that strawberry fruits may be kept fresher longer and their shelf life preserved with a 3% AgNPs starch-Ag nanocomposite. This is the first research that uses pulp extract from Prunus census L. to describe the production of AgNPs.

La valorizzazione degli spazi residuali del tessuto edilizio consolidato: una ricognizione dei più recenti progetti in Europa
Creators: name: Cecchini, Carlotta

Publisher: name: eum
Year: 2014

description: Intervenire sui tessuti marginali significa interfacciarsi con realtà complesse, nelle quali l’ identità locale, seppur non evidente o indebolita dallo stato di degrado, si è mantenuta, o addirittura rafforzata, nel tempo, andando a rappresentare una ricchezza in grado di dialogare con le risorse interne ed al contorno dell’area residuale stessa.

Il presente contributo ha lo scopo di individuare e definire le strategie di valorizzazione  maggiormente efficaci nella gestione dei tessuti periferici, attraverso un’indagine dei migliori progetti di riqualificazione in ambito europeo e l’analisi delle strategie d’indirizzo da essi applicate.

Vengono a questo proposito individuati due gradi di intervento: uno a livello generale, nel quale l’approccio con il tessuto antropico/naturalistico esistente fornisce un primo orientamento strategico nella gestione del “progetto complesso”, realizzandosi nella definizione degli ambiti di valorizzazione del tessuto di riferimento; uno a scala ravvicinata, nel quale vengono definite le modalità di gestione della materia (sia naturale che artificiale), che si concretizza nelle scelte di carattere operativo.

Intervening in marginal areas means to interface with complex realities, in which the local identity survived (or even increased), even if hidden or weakened by decline condition. They become an asset able to dialogue with its own internal and environmental resources.

The present study is aimed at identifying and defining the most effective strategies in periphery management, through an investigation on European best practices and the definition of common designing criteria.

At this purpose, two levels of intervention are defined: a general approach, in which the relationship between anthropic/natural existing tissue analysis gives a first orienting about the strategies to be applied in the complex project. This phase is aimed at defining the values of the reference areas; a close-scale approach, in which the “materia” (both artificial and natural) management is defined, involving operative choices.

Investigating the Role of Emotion Perception in the Adaptive Functioning of Individuals on the Autism Spectrum
Creators: name: Hudepohl, Margaret
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2009

description: Cognitive functioning has historically been used to predict adaptive outcomes of individuals with autism spectrum disorders; however, research shows that it does not adequately predict these outcomes. Therefore, the current study explored the role of emotion perception in the adaptive functioning of individuals with ASDs. Emotion perception was assessed using the DANVA-2, which has audio and static face stimuli, and the DAVE, dynamic, audio-visual emotion movies. Adaptive functioning was assessed using the Vineland-II Socialization, Communication, and Daily Living domains. Results indicated that individuals with ASDs demonstrated significant impairments in both adaptive functioning and emotion perception compared to typical individuals. Findings did not demonstrate a relationship between emotion perception and adaptive functioning, controlling for IQ. Future research should broaden the approach when investigating possible mechanisms of change for adaptive outcomes to include
exploration of social perception more broadly, of which emotion perception is one component, and its relationship with adaptive outcomes.

Transgeografia. Le nuove esperienze dell’abitare tra i paesaggi mediatici dell’arte
Creators: name: Savini, Mario
Publisher: name: eum
Year: 2014

description: Le pratiche artistiche in rete, sempre più relazionali, sembrano aver mutato la complessità del territorio, annullando definitivamente ogni differenza tra centro e periferia. In generale, le concezioni relative alla natura dello spazio sono messe continuamente in discussione in quanto si è avviato un grande processo di unificazione e globalizzazione. Le nuove esperienze dell’abitare fanno parte di un’infrastruttura culturale che definirei “Transgeografia”, un insieme di ecosistemi informativi che trasformano il territorio urbano in ambienti interattivi: il paesaggio è in grado di immagazzinare, scambiare e modificare dati attraverso le reti informatiche, facilitando l’accesso alla sfera pubblica. Nella riflessione proposta si cerca di delineare, anche attraverso rilevanze socio-antropologiche, la nuova cognizione del territorio suggerita da opere interattive dove ogni singolo contributo diventa patrimonio comune.

The constant evolution of online artistic practices, that are increasingly relational, seem to have changed territorial complexity, eliminating any difference between center and periphery. In general, the different views on spacial nature are continually questioned due to the major unification and globalisation process. The new living experiences are part of a cultural infrastructure that I would define as “Transgeography”, i.e. a collection of information ecosystems that transform the urban territory into interactive environments: the landscape is able to store, exchange and modify data through computer networks, facilitating access to the public sphere. The purpose of this analysis is to outline, also from a socio-anthropological viewpoint, a new knowledge of the territory as suggested by interactive works, in which, every single contribution becomes common heritage.

Urban Art: l’arte per il riscatto delle favelas. Il caso di Vila Brasilândia
Creators: name: Di Sirio, Angela Sofia
Publisher: name: eum
Year: 2014

description: Sotto il nome di Urban art si indica una nuova ondata creativa che ha scelto come luogo privilegiato delle proprie espressioni le periferie delle città di tutto il mondo. Il binomio centro-periferia fa parte di quella terminologia che, nata agli inizi degli anni Settanta del Novecento, fu adoperata, prima di tutto, per descrivere le relazioni economiche fra aree più o meno sviluppate del sistema capitalistico. La periferia di oggi, invece, non è più “l’ombra” della città storica, essa è diventata sia luogo di accoglienza e convivenza di culture differenti, sia manifestazione di una volontà di riscatto dalla condizione di “non luogo” o di “luogo altro” rispetto ai centri storici. L’Urban art si affranca dagli interessi economici e urbanistici di cui sono espressione i centri cittadini, per rivolgere la propria attenzione a quelle zone strutturalmente più degradate e funzionalmente deboli attraverso operazioni di trasformazione, sviluppo e abbellimento. È quello che avviene per esempio in alcune aree del Brasile, note come favelas – vere e proprie concrezioni abitative, realizzate con semplici mattoni e altri materiali poveri o addirittura di scarto – dove negli ultimi anni vengono messi in atto interventi che mirano al miglioramento di queste realtà, semplicemente sul piano estetico. In quest’ottica di cambiamento si pongono gli interventi artistici del collettivo Boa Mistura, nato a Madrid nel 2001 dal lavoro di cinque artisti: Arkon, Derko, Pahg, Purone, rDick.

It goes by the name of Urban Art which in recent years has broken a new wave of creativity of which to express itself has chosen the outskirts of all the cities in the world as its privileged locations. Its byname central border is part of the terminology born in the 1970's and adopted first and foremost to describe the areas somewhat developed under capitalistic system. Todays outskirts are no longer in the shadow of the city in fact they have become welcoming and multicultural places that manifest themselves by a voluntary rebuff against the terms “unidentified place” or “other area” as oppose to the history and economy of the central city. Urban art redeems itself in both economic and urban expression where the main residents, to turn attention to the degraded and dysfunctional zones either undergoing development, transformation or embellishment that for example are happening in certain areas of Brazil, often called slums which are genuine concrete habitations made from simple bricks and other materials including those excavated where in recent years actual works are being undertaken aimed at improving the areas simply based on the esthetic appearance. With these changes in mind, it has placed the collective artist Boa Misture, born in Madrid in 2001 with work from the 5 artists: Arkon, Derko, Pahg, Purore, rDick.

The Double Deficit Hypothesis in a College-Level Sample: Sex Differences, Comorbid ADHD, and Academic/Neuropsychological Profiles
Creators: name: Stern, Susan
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2010

description: The Double Deficit Hypothesis posits that four mutually exclusive subgroups can be identified in a reading disabled (RD) sample. These subgroups are predicted to differ on reading measures, and further evidence suggests they may differ on other academic achievement (AA) and neuropsychological (NP) measures, as well as sex ratios and rate of ADHD diagnosis. Two hundred twenty six college-level adults identified as RD were evaluated, and subgroup comparisons were analyzed. Significant subgroup differences were observed in each domain. No subgroup differences were observed for sex or ADHD diagnosis. Findings suggest that patterns of linguistic ability affect the profiles of reading, AA, and NP performance that characterize adults with RD. These findings have implications for evaluations and academic accommodations.

The Reduction of Anti-Gay Bias through Interpersonal Contact: The Moderating Roles of HIV Stigma and Motivation to Respond without Prejudice.
Creators: name: Elliott, Lisa
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2009

description: The intergroup contact effect is well-documented in the research literature (for a meta-analysis see Pettigrew & Tropp, 2006). Although researchers have identified a few moderators of the contact effect, the constraints under which the contact effect is optimally effective are not well understood. The current research explored two individual difference measures related to anti-gay attitudes, AIDS stigma and motivation to respond without prejudice (internal and external motivation), as potential moderators of the contact effect on heterosexual men?s attitudes towards gay men. Results indicated that increased external motivation and AIDS stigma hinder the benefits of contact for anti-gay attitudes. Implications of these findings for understanding how intergroup contact serves as a prejudice-reduction technique are discussed.
From Centre to Periphery. The Propagation of the Virgo virga motif and the Case of the 12th Century Høylandet Tapestry
Creators: name: Hodne, Lasse
Publisher: name: eum
Year: 2014

description: The Høylandet Tapestry is a medieval wall hanging from central Norway that depicts scenes from the infancy of Christ and the arrival of the Magi. We do not know exactly when it was made. Scholars have attempted to date it on stylistic and technical grounds. In this article I will try to do the same on an iconographical basis. Concentrating on the flower that the Virgin holds in her hand, I will trace the origin of the Virgo virga theme in central European art of the early 12th century and examine how this motif can have found its way from there to the outskirts of Norway. In addition, I will discuss the symbolic meaning of Mary holding a flower or a twig, which, in my view, refers to the Jesse root theme from Isaiah and the word play on virgo (Virgin) and virga (twig, branch), and alludes to Jesus’ ancestry as a member of the House of David.

Høylandsteppet è un tessuto ricamato medievale, proveniente dalla Norvegia centrale, i cui decori rappresentano scene della Natività di Cristo e l'arrivo dei Magi. Non si conosce con esattezza la sua data di origine. Gli studiosi hanno tentato di datarlo basandosi sia sulla tecnica di tessitura che sull'analisi dello stile delle figure. In quest'articolo cercherò di fare lo stesso attraverso un'analisi dettagliata dell'iconografia. Partendo dal fiore che la Vergine tiene in mano, vorrei tracciare le origini del soggetto Virgo virga nell'arte dell'Europa centrale della prima metà del XII secolo e indagare sulla diffusione dello stesso fino ad approdare in un posto alquanto periferico della Norvegia centrale. Inoltre analizzerò il significato simbolico di questo soggetto che, alludendo al tema della radice di Iesse e al gioco di parole tra virgo (vergine) e virga (ramo, verga), fa riferimento alla discendenza di Gesù dalla tribù di Davide, re d'Israele.

description: Background: The use of electronic cigarettes has become increasingly popular in recent years. However, the impact that electronic cigarettes have on the ocular surface is not well known. Therefore, the aim of this review is to explore the current literature on the acute and chronic sequelae of electronic cigarettes on the ocular surface. Methods: A systematic review of the literature was undertaken by keyword searching on the Embase, Medline, and Web of Science databases. Articles identified through the search underwent title/abstract screening, full-text screening, and data extraction. Results: A total of 18 studies were included in this review. Non-intended ocular surface exposures and intended exposures on the ocular surface were found to be associated with the use of electronic cigarettes. Conclusions: The impact of vaping on the ocular surface is not benign. There are significant risks that vaping can pose to the ocular surface. Hence, it is necessary to develop appropriate risk communication tools given the increasing popularity of this activity. Additionally, future long-term studies are needed to better understand the long-term impacts of vaping on the ocular surface given the lack of current data.

Gaze Fixation during the Perception of Visual and Auditory Affective Cues
Creators: name: McManus, Susan
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2009

description: The accurate integration of audio-visual emotion cues is critical for social interactions and requires efficient processing of facial cues. Gaze behavior of typically developing young adults was measured via eye-tracking during the perception of dynamic audio-visual emotion (DAVE) stimuli. Participants were able to identify basic emotions (angry, fearful, happy, neutral) and determine the congruence of facial expression and prosody. Perception of incongruent videos resulted in increased reaction times and emotion identification consistent with the facial expression. Participants consistently demonstrated a featural processing approach across all tasks, with a significant preference for the eyes. Evidence of hemispheric lateralization was indicated by preferential fixation to the left (happy, angry) or right eye (fearful). Fixation patterns differed according to the facially expressed emotion, with the pattern that emerged during fearful movies supporting the significance of automatic threat processing. Finally, fixation pattern during the perception of incongruent movies varied according to task instructions.
Relation entre l’environnement politique et économique et la production architecturale dans la ville de Dubrovnik aux XVIIème et XVIIIème siècles

description: Durant les debuts dé la période moderne, Dubrovnik (Ragusa en latine), une ville entre l'Orient et l'Occident, fonda sa richesse sur le commerce. Malgré sa position géographique favorable, la ville se situe dans une zone sismique complexe. Le grand séisme qui ravagea Raguse en 1667 tua environ 2000 de ses habitants et détruisit un grand nombre de bâtiments.

Cet article porte sur les relations entre la production artistique et l’environnement économique dans la ville de Dubrovnik après le grand séisme qui fournit l’occasion de procéder à une rénovation architecturale de grand envergure. Jusqu'à présent, la vaste bibliographie pourtant sur ce sujet n’a pas encore mis l'accent sur ce rapport.

La question se pose de savoir combien et comment furent payés les architectes qu’y vénèrent à l’instigation d'ambassadeurs et d'agents commerciaux ragusain. En outre l’article cherche à éclairer la situation économique de Dubrovnik à partir du milieu du 17ème jusqu'au début du 18ème siècle.

During the Early Modern period, Dubrovnik (Latin Ragusa) managed to benefit from its geographical position between the East and the West, making trade the base of its wealth.  Unfortunately, the city was also in the zone subject to seismic activity, and the strong earthquake that struck the city in 1667 killed around 2000 people and physically damaged most of its architecture.

Therefore, this article discusses the relationship between artistic production and the economic environment in the city of Dubrovnik after 1667. The consequences of the so called “Great Earthquake” have been partially investigated in terms of importation of architectural projects and architects, but there is no scholarly work on the economy of rebuilding of the city on the periphery of catholic Europe.

The article includes a list of repaired and rebuilt architecture as well as information about the payments for it and the general economic situation in Dubrovnik from the middle 17th until the beginning of the 18th century.

Periferie dello spazio e periferie dello sguardo: Catania e la produzione di Canecapovolto
Creators: name: Alfieri, Roberta
name: Pompili, Katiuscia
Publisher: name: eum
Year: 2014

description: Il saggio intende analizzare la produzione del collettivo artistico catanese Canecapovolto. L’analisi evidenzia il ruolo di Catania come luogo di produzione artistica nel panorama del mercato dell’arte contemporanea durante gli anni Novanta del secolo scorso. Nel decennio in cui si è formato il collettivo Canecapovolto, la città etnea fu protagonista di una fase di grande sperimentazione e produzione artistica, nonostante la sua posizione periferica. La distanza dal centro della periferia, in alcuni casi all’origine del suo ritardo culturale, può costituire un fattore positivo per la ricerca di nuovi linguaggi artistici.

Nel lavoro dei Canecapovolto il paradigma centro-periferia si sposta dalla geografia al linguaggio: la frammentarietà del messaggio decentra il ruolo dell'artista ponendo al centro dell’opera il pubblico, avvicinandosi così all’arte relazionale teorizzata da  Bourriaud, che vede l’opera come "interstizio", cioè spazio di relazione umana. Come le periferie urbane sfuggono al controllo sociale e politico del centro, così i Canecapovolto svelano e ribaltano i meccanismi di potere alla base del flusso comunicativo. Il reimpiego di immagini e suoni compone i punti di una “cartografia mobile”, di una rete che apre alla continua riappropriazione di forme e alla loro ricontestualizzazione.

The objective of this essay is the analysis of the artistic collective from Catania, Canecapovolto. This analysis remarks the role of Catania as a place of artistic production in the Nineties of the last century. Despite of its peripheral position, the city had period of great experimentation and artistic production. The distance from the center, which in some cases is the cause of the periphery’s cultural gap, can be a positive factor for the search of new artistic forms of expression.

In the Canecapovolto’s work, the center-periphery paradigm is moved from the geography to the language: the fragmentation of the message puts the public in a central position and approaches the concept of “relational art” theorized by Bourriaud, which sees the work as an “interstice”, a space of human relationship. As the urban peripheries go beyond the center’s social and political control, the artists of the Canecapovolto go beyond the mechanisms of power which rule the communication flow. The reuse of sounds and images creates the points of a “mobile cartography”, a network that opens to the continuous re-appropriation of forms and their recontextualization.

description: HLA-matched allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) is a curative therapy for many patients. Unrelated HLA-matched donors are the most frequently used donor for HCT. When more than one donor transplant option is available, transplant centers can select donors based on non-HLA factors. With improved ability to prevent and treat immune complications, such as graft-versus-host disease and infections, it may be possible to proceed more often using HLA-mismatched donors, allowing greater consideration of non-HLA factors, such as donor age, CMV serostatus, and ABO blood group matching, which have demonstrated important impacts on transplant outcomes. Additional factors to consider are donor availability rates and the usage of domestic donors to optimize outcomes. A review of non-HLA factors and considerations on the selection of optimal unrelated donors for HCT are provided within this updated current context.
Experiment of construction - Innovation in the form. The Cathedral of St. James in Šibenik and «Freedom of creation in peripheral milieu»
Creators: name: Marković, Predrag
Publisher: name: eum
Year: 2014

description: The Cathedral of St. James in Šibenik represents the most important architectural achievement of the Renaissance on the eastern coast of the Adriatic Sea. Its exceptional, in many respects unusual and still enigmatic structure, characterized primarily by the peculiar stone barrel vaults, designed and for the most part built by Niccolo di Giovanni Fiorentino (1475-1506/1536). If we consider that such unique combination of structural and formal solutions has never reoccurred, not even in smaller-size regional religious or secular architecture, it is obvious that before us stands a great and so far insufficiently researched experiment. Therefore, this article will try to reveal the origin of these specific construction techniques, and will try to answer the question of how such a technological experiment contributed to the formal innovations, namely their pure all'antica appearance. It will also analyse these issues in the context of what has been called “the creative freedom of the peripheral milieu” – a theoretically specified framework defined by the Croatian art historian Lj. Karaman (1963).

Il Duomo di San Giacomo di Sebenico rappresenta la più importante realizzazione architettonica del Rinascimento sulla sponda orientale dell’Adriatico. La sua eccezionale e per molti versi inconsueta ed enigmatica struttura si distingue soprattutto per le particolari volte a botte costruite in pietra, progettate e per la maggior parte costruite da Niccolò di Giovanni Fiorentino (1475-1506/1536). Alla luce del fatto che questa singolare combinazione di soluzioni costruttive e formali non è stata più riutilizzata, neanche in dimensioni ridotte, risulta chiaro che il Duomo di Sebenico costituisce un eccezionale, creativo ed audace sperimento architettonico. Lo scopo di questo lavoro è quello di indagare l’origine di queste specifiche tecniche costruttive, e di offrire una risposta alla domanda sul contributo che questo esperimento tecnologico avrebbe potuto avere alle innovazioni formali, soprattutto al loro carattere all’antica. Infine, questi problemi vengono affrontati pure nel contesto della cosiddetta “libertà di creazione in periferia”, concetto teorico definito dallo storico dell’arte croato Lj. Karaman (1963).

Impact of Training on Parent Knowledge and Behavior
Creators: name: Bearden, Donald
Publisher: name: Georgia State University

description: Immunizations are an essential part of children?s healthcare; however, the associated distress can have short- and long-term negative ramifications for children. Parents? procedural behavior is one of the strongest predictors of children?s distress. The current study evaluated whether an interactive computer training program influenced parents? knowledge of the impact that their behavior has on their children or their actual procedural behavior during children?s immunizations. 90 parents and their 4- to 6-year-old children receiving immunizations participated. Overall, findings suggest that using a computerized training module to enhance parent knowledge and behavior is helpful but requires improvements in some areas to optimize training.
Differences in Parental Expectations and Interactions of African American Mothers with a History of Substance Dependence
Creators: name: Perkins, Ayana
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2010

description: Substance dependency can affect a mother's health and her ability to parent. A cross sectional study was implemented to better understand resources of African American mothers in recovery from substance dependence. A convenience sample of 38 African American mothers at two drug treatment centers in Atlanta, Georgia completed the Michigan Screening Profile of Parents (Helfer, Hoffmeister, & Schneider, 1978). Results indicated that women who perceived that their emotional needs were being met were less likely to use maladaptive coping skills. Mothers who used less maladaptive coping skills were less likely to report negative interactions with their children. Results have implications for the needs of African Americans mothers in substance abuse treatment. Follow up studies may benefit from the use of longitudinal and qualitative research methods in order to comprehensively explain the impact of lifetime social supports on maladaptive coping and negative parenting behaviors for African American mothers in recovery.
Cool Girls, Inc. and Self-Concept: The Role of Social Capital
Creators: name: Thomason, Jessica
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2010

description: Social capital and self-concept were measured in a sample of 86 primarily African American female adolescents before and after participating in the Cool Girls, Inc. program, and in 89 comparison girls. Two dimensions of social capital (the diversity of girls? social networks and the number of life domains in which girls were able to access help) were examined. It was hypothesized that participation in Cool Girls would be associated with increases in social capital and that this would mediate the relationship between participation in Cool Girls and increases in self-concept. Cool Girls participants experienced increases in social capital. Cool Girls and comparisons both experienced gains in most domains of self-concept, except for behavioral conduct, that were related to increases in number of help domains. Furthermore, there was a significant indirect effect of participation on social acceptance, global self-worth, and body image mediated through number of help domains. Implications are discussed.
Building toward an Intervention for Alcohol-Related Aggression: A Cognitive and Behavior Test of the Attention Allocation Model
Creators: name: Gallagher, Kathryn
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2010

description: This study provided the first direct test of the cognitive underpinnings of the attention-allocation model and attempted to replicate and extend past behavioral findings for this model as an explanation for alcohol-related aggression. Men were randomly assigned to a beverage (Alcohol, No-Alcohol Control) and a distraction (Moderate Distraction, No Distraction) condition. All men were provoked by a male confederate and completed a dot probe task and a laboratory aggression task without distraction or while presented with a moderate distraction task. Results indicated that intoxicated men whose attention was distracted displayed significantly lower levels of aggression bias and enacted significantly less physical aggression than intoxicated men whose attention was not distracted. However, aggression bias did not account for the lower levels of alcohol-related aggression in the distraction, relative to the no-distraction, condition. Discussion focused on how these data inform intervention programming for alcohol-related aggression.
Environmental Worldview and Faith in Science as Moderators of the Relationship between Beliefs about and Attitudes toward Nuclear Energy

description: Global climate change (GCC) may be the most pressing social and environmental issue of our time. The use of fossil fuels tops the list of human behaviors that contribute to GCC. Several ?alternative? energy sources are now being considered in an effort to mitigate GCC, including?controversially?nuclear energy. Examined here were environmental worldview and faith in science as moderators of the relationship between beliefs about and attitudes toward nuclear energy (ATNE). Participants were 272 college students who completed an on-line survey. Predictor variables were beliefs about whether nuclear energy contributes to GCC (GCC-beliefs) and to energy independence (EI-beliefs). Results indicated that environmental worldview moderated the negative relationship between GCC-beliefs and ATNE. Results implied that the effectiveness of arguments salient to the current nuclear energy debate concerning GCC have a medium effect on ATNE except when people are more ecocentric in their environmental worldviews.

Hot versus Cold Processing in Moral Judgment and the Role of Cognitive Capacity
Creators: name: Cavrak, Sarah
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2010

description: In this study I first examined whether the cognitive processes (hot versus cold cognition) underlying judgments to traditional moral situations are universal to situations that are morally neutral, and whether individual differences in cognitive ability moderate these judgments. Second, I tested whether it was possible to modify the impact of hot versus cold processing systems on judgment deliberation by shifting the focus of attention during the decision-making process. I conclude that moral judgment is not simply the product of cognitive ability and is not sufficiently motivated by hot cognitive experiences alone. The role of cognitive abilities on moral valuation requires further examination.
Is Clindamycin a Good Antibiotic for Dental Infections?
Creators: name: Therapeutics Initiative (University Of British Columbia)
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2024

description: Background: Clindamycin is frequently prescribed by dentists in British Columbia (BC) for dental infections despite its significant propensity for harm, particularly in causing Clostridioides difficile colitis. Clindamycin accounts for 12% of antibiotic prescriptions from BC dentists, compared to 5% in Australia and a mere 0.5% in the UK. These disparities cannot be explained solely by differences in dental health. Aims: This Therapeutics Letter highlights the risks associated with clindamycin use in dental practice, provides guidance on antibiotic use in dental infections, and recommends alternatives for patients with reported penicillin allergies. Recommendations: Dentists are advised against using clindamycin for prophylaxis or initial treatment of dental infections due to its high risk of causing Clostridioides difficile colitis, increased mortality compared to amoxicillin, and potential for severe adverse reactions. Given the high prevalence of reported penicillin allergies, dentists are encouraged to consider cefuroxime as a safe alternative for most patients. The Bugs & Drugs program offers updated guidance for pre-operative dental prophylaxis and treatment of active infections, aligned with the guidance from the American Dental Association (ADA) and other authoritative bodies.
Associations between Maternal Positive Affect and Mother-Child Reminiscing about Happiness
Creators: name: Schroth, Elizabeth
Publisher: name: Georgia State University

description: Little is known about how maternal positive affect (PA) relates to maternal patterns of emotion socialization about positive emotions. The current study examined the hypothesis that mothers? self-reported PA, independent of their negative affect (NA), is associated with increased and more appropriate modeling of verbal and nonverbal expressions of positive emotions in mothers. I examined associations between self-reported maternal PA and behaviors during video-taped discussions of times when the mothers and children were happy in 53 healthy mother-child dyads. These tapes were coded using standard observational coding schemes. Results suggest that mothers with higher ratings of PA, independent of NA, positively predicted levels of observed maternal positive involvement and communication while reminiscing. Maternal PA was unrelated to observed dyadic mutual enjoyment, positive emotion words and teaching during mother-child reminiscing. Results add to the existing literature on positive psychology in important ways.  Theoretical implications for understanding positive emotions are discussed.
Evaluating Changes in Attentional Biases following Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Social Phobia
Creators: name: Calamaras, Martha
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2010

description: The purpose of the current study was to evaluate changes in attentional biases following CBT for Social Phobia. It was found that 1.) consistent with previous investigations, the overall sample displayed vigilance toward threatening facial stimuli prior to receiving treatment, and 2.) participants? pattern of responding to threatening facial stimuli changed following treat-ment, but only when the sample was divided into those who were vigilant and those who were avoidant prior to treatment. Findings provide support for the presence of two distinct sub-groups with differing attentional styles, one with a tendency for vigilance toward social threats, and a second with a tendency to avoid threat cues.  These findings have important implications for how individuals may differentially respond to treatment and may help explain some of the mixed findings in the extant literature on Social Phobia and attention bias.
The Early Parent-Child Relationship and Aggression: The Mediating Role of Language
Creators: name: Harper, Christopher
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2011

description: Multiple theories suggest that the early parent-child relationship plays an important role in development. Past research has shown linkages between parenting style and aggression as well as between language and aggression. Emerging evidence suggests that attachment security is an important predictor of language development. It was hypothesized that there would be an effect of parent-child relationship quality at 36 months on aggression at school entry via language ability at 54 months. To test this hypothesis, path analysis in M-Plus was used. Data for this study were collected as a part of the NICHD, Study of Early Child Care and Youth Development (N = 1,364). Mediation was tested with bootstrapped estimates of indirect effects. The results did not support the hypothesized m
