description: SHERPA (System Health Enabled Real-time Planning Advisor) is an artificial intelligence (AI) decision support system for space missions that is based on formal decision making under uncertainty. SHERPA is model-based and adaptable to different types of missions and use cases. Among its other capabilities, it supports planning for vehicles/systems with degrading or faulty components.

SHERPA is currently serving as the primary strategic mission planning system on the Volatiles Investigating Polar Exploration Rover (VIPER) lunar mission (VIPER is an SMD mission to land a mobile robot in a South Pole region of the Moon to characterize deposits of water ice and other hydrogen-containing volatiles — currently in its final development phase). On VIPER, SHERPA has been used in selecting the mission area, determining the landing site, performing different types of system engineering studies, generating strategic mission plans, and evaluating these plans with respect to their scientific productivity and robustness to disruptions. During the mission, SHERPA will be used to make strategic mission plan adjustments based on the observed rover performance and scientific data collected up to that point.

The relationship between leadership competence and employee engagement
Creators: name: Stroud, Robert N.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2009

description: Employee engagement has been shown to lead to a number of meaningful business benefits, including increased productivity, improved individual and organizational performance, and heightened organizational commitment. Although considerable research has demonstrated the influence of line managers on the engagement of their direct reports, Harter, Schmidt, and Hayes (2002) suggest that companies could learn much about the management practices that drive business outcomes by studying theirown highly engaged organizational units. The present study utilized a Fortune 500 multinational corporation’s leadership competency model multi-rater feedback and employee engagement instruments to explore the relationship between the leadership competencies of senior organizational leaders (N=163) and the engagement of employees in their organizational units. The overall model of leadership competence predicted a significant proportion of variance in engagement when utilizing either the direct report or combinedrater source scores. In addition, results indicate that Integrity and Collaboration and Teaming are two specific competencies among senior leaders that appear to have meaningful positive relationships with employee engagement. Contrary to expectations, the bivariate correlation between the Self-Awareness and Adaptability competency of senior leaders and employee engagement was not significant. More surprisingly, when the other competencies were controlled statistically, the relation was negative. Finally,the direct report rater source provided competency scores that were the best predictors of employee engagement. This raises a possible concern that the relation is partly due to engaged workers providing more positive ratings and, similarly, that less engaged workers provide more negative ratings of their leaders. Results are interpreted in the context of three theoretical perspectives on employee engagement. Limitations, implications for practice, and directions for future research are also discussed.
An exploratory study of child obesity concerns among African-American children and parents

description: Childhood obesity is reaching epidemic levels in the United States with current prevalence rates at more than three times the “Healthy People 2000” goal.  African Americans, other minorities, and low SES populations are disproportionately affected, and the adverse cardiovascular, respiratory and endocrine health implications typically associated with adult obesity are now evident in children.  Developing effective child obesity communication messages and interventions to reach African Americans is critical if the prevalence trends and health disparities are to be reversed.  This exploratory study sought to add to the literature by examining the knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors of an indicated group of young overweight African American children and their parents, and by better describing their felt experience.  Principles of community psychology informed the philosophy and implementation of the study, as resulting guidance for community-based interventions was sought.  This area of psychology also offers a collaborative approach to entering and working with communities, such as African Americans, who have shown suspicion to traditional research and also in this instance may not be motivated for change.  Eighteen subjects participated in separate parent and child focus groups, and the data were analyzed using Strauss and Corbin’s (1998) grounded theory method. Nine key qualitative themes and directional implications from a parent survey are described in the results.  Additionally, in order to understand clinical implications, two hybridized case studies representing prototypical client presentations were developed from the data and analyzed using Fishman’s (1999) pragmatic case study method. The cases represent a client who might be more responsive to intervention and one whose clinical presentation and situational characteristics suggest more barriers to treatment. A detailed case comparison further explicates attendant factors that are likely to affect communication messages, outreach, and treatment outcome with these types of clients.  Study limitations are discussed, and the report concludes with implications for future community-based research and treatment, specifically with African Americans.

An exploratory study of family of origin influences on African-American women's experiences in the workplace
Creators: name: Evans, Ebony Tamaya
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2009

description: A qualitative research methodology incorporating a case study approach was utilized in this exploratory study that investigated the impact of family of origin dynamics on African American women’s experiences in the workplace.  Ten single, African-American women participated in the study and were interviewed about their current work and past family of origin experiences. This research builds upon a previous study of White women (Philpot, 2004) and examines the extent to which individuals replicate the interpersonal patterns learned in their family of origin at work. Specifically, this study asked individuals to discuss five topics regarding their family and work-related experiences: relationships, authority dynamics, methods for dealing with conflict, role dynamics and influence of race and gender. Interviews were conducted by the same gender, same race investigator of the study. Case analyses were then completed for each interview and overlapping themes were examined across family and work domains in a side by side table. Findings from the study revealed that the participants did replicate some of the interpersonal patterns learned in their family of origin at work. Additionally, six major themes from the interviews were identified: (1) religion was important in participants’ family of origin; (2) female authority figures were dominant in participants’ family of origin and at work; (3) participants held various roles in their family of origin and at work; (4) participants dealt with conflict directly at home and at work; (5) race influenced interactions with family members and colleagues; and (6) gender influenced interactions with family members more often than colleagues. Implications for organizational professionals and managers are discussed. Due to the exploratory nature of the study, generalizability of the findings is limited. Instead, the findings should be used to contribute to future research in this area by incorporating larger samples of African- American women and exploring these issues in studies with other ethnic groups and men.
Correlates of substance use among urban Latino immigrant high school freshmen
Creators: name: Gaba, Ayorkor L.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2009

description: Substance use in immigrant youth frequently has been associated with different aspects of acculturation. There is inconsistency in the literature, however, about the direction of these relationships. Furthermore, seldom has the role of acculturation been examined in the context of other common substance use correlates, such as peer use and relationship with parents. Finally, the possible contribution of sense of school belonging previously has not been considered along with acculturation, peer use, and parent relationships, in explaining substance use and intentions to use in immigrant adolescents. Thus, the current study examined the extent to which levels of language and cultural acculturation, years in the country, sense of school belonging, relationship with parents, and friends’ use would account for their use and intentions to use substances in a sample of 166 Northeastern ninth grade urban Latino immigrant adolescents. Regression analysis revealed that language acculturation, sense of school belonging, and friends’ use were significantly associated with adolescent substance use and intentions to use. Consistent with past research in the general adolescent population, Latino immigrant youth who had fewer friends who use substances and had higher levels of school bonding/sense of school belonging were less likely to report using substances and/or having intentions to use. Contrary to previous literature examining non-clinical immigrant youth, the current study found that higher use of native language (low language acculturation) also predicted students’ use and intentions to use.

(Figg. 65-67)
Materiale tipico: Holotypus , Brasilien, Rio Grande do Sul, Umg. Sta. Maria, leg. H. Franz (NHMW).
Descrizione:
Lunghezza 5,7 mm. Avancorpo opaco, addome debolmente lucido. Corpo nero con macchia rossiccia al margine posteriore dei paratergiti e pigidio bruno-rossiccio; antenne bruno-rossicce con i tre antennomeri basali e apice dell’undicesimo giallo-rossicci. Punteggiatura del capo forte, quella delle elitre d’aspetto rugoso. Granulosità del pronoto fittissima e saliente, assente sulla fascia longitudinale mediana. Primo urotergo libero del maschio protratto all’indietro a forma di triangolo, tale espansione coperta di granulosità saliente. Granulosità del secondo urotergo libero saliente, quella dei restanti uroterghi liberi superficiale. Reticolazione del capo e del pronoto forte e finissima, quella delle elitre evidente e quella dell’addome finissima e ben visibile. Fronte con due carene salienti convergenti verso il labbro. Pronoto con debole impressione a ciascun lato e con ampia concavità mediana. Quinto urotergo libero del maschio con tubercolo mediano posteriore gradualmente saliente all’indietro. Edeago figg. 66-67.
Comparazioni:
La nuova specie è simile a M. longicollis PACE, 1986, del Perù, per avere un dente mediano al margine posteriore del primo urotergo libero del maschio. Se ne distingue per la granulosità fitta del pronoto, mentre in longicollis il pronoto è privo di punteggiatura o granulosità. Gli antennomeri intermedi della nuova specie sono trasversi, mentre in longicollis sono più lunghi che larghi. La porzione apicale distale dell’edeago, in visione ventrale, è larga nella nuova specie e in longicollis strettissima.
Etimologia: Il nome della nuova specie significa «dente unico» a motivo della presenza di un solo dente mediano saliente sul quinto urotergo libero del maschio.

description: A method, wireless device and computer program product for expanding the coverage of a cellular network. A wireless device (e.g., cellular telephone) is able to communicate with a base station in a cell of the cellular network over a non-cellular interface via another wireless device in a cell through the use of multi-hopping. A wireless device may request permission to communicate with the base station over a non-cellular interface via hopping off another wireless device when its signal strength is below a threshold. Alternatively, a wireless device may receive a request to communicate with the base station over a non-cellular interface via hopping off the wireless device that sent the request when that wireless device has excess capacity in its bandwidth with the base station. By enabling wireless devices to communicate with a base station in such a manner, the effective capacity of the cellular network is expanded and the effective capacity of the cellular network is improved.
Influence of social factors on mothers in treatment for substance use disorders

Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2009

description: Consideration of women-specific issues in addictions treatment requires attention be given to the subset of women who are also mothers. For these women, the repercussions of substance use are often profound and far-reaching. Impaired decisions and parenting skills may increase risk for child abuse and neglect. This dissertation sought to better understand how the quality of a mother’s social resources and her substance use behaviors are influenced by her primary drug of choice (heroin, cocaine/crack, marijuana, alcohol). Social network characteristics and substance use behaviors were characterized at treatment entry, treatment discharge, and six months post-treatment in a sample of 246 women, with minor children, who received addictions treatment based on involvement with the New Jersey Division of Youth and Family Services. Nearly half of these women had not achieved the equivalent of a high school degree and the majority was unemployed and unmarried. At treatment entry, primary heroin users reported more frequent primary drug use, more poly-drug use, and less abstinence in the past thirty days than women with other drug preferences. However, heroin using mothers improved most during treatment, reporting similar frequencies of substance use and use-related problems at both follow-up assessments as women with other drug preferences. At treatment entry, all participants reported extensive contact with family dense social networks that supported general well-being, abstinence and treatment seeking. Primary marijuana users, however, reported networks that were more neutral towards their continued substance use than women with other drug preferences. Over time, marijuana using women reported an increase in the frequency of substance use by their network members whereas women with heroin and cocaine preferences reported decreases. Importantly, frequency of substance use by network members was the social network characteristic most highly correlated with concurrent and subsequent substance use and use-related problems. The reason for these marijuana-specific social network differences is not immediately clear, but may reflect a broad societal belief that marijuana is less physiologically, psychologically, and socially harmful than other drugs. Nonetheless, these results suggest that treatment may not adequately address the importance of social factors in the maintenance of marijuana use disorders.

Program evaluation of an early intervention outreach program for toddlers with autism
Creators: name: Lee, Stephanie A.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2009

description: This dissertation focuses on the process involved in the formulation and implementation of a program evaluation plan in relation to a University-based early intervention outreach program for toddlers with autism. In addition, results from the initial application of this program evaluation plan are reported and discussed. The framework which was used to guide this approach to program evaluation was Maher’s Program Planning and Evaluation Framework (Maher 2000). The program on which the evaluation occurred provides a range of early intervention services for toddlers and their families using the principles and procedures of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). The kind of program evaluation reflected in this dissertation, specifically in relation to the type of early intervention outreach program, is important because although there is encouraging evidence suggesting the value of both early intervention and the use of ABA principles for children with autism, very few reports have described how to design and conduct a systematic program evaluation that would provide information for continued programmatic development and improvement.  As part of the dissertation, the program evaluation consultant established a professional relationship with the director of the program. In conjunction with the director, the consultant proceeded to delineate the kind of information that the director could use to further develop and improve the program. Subsequently, the program evaluation consultant and the program director determined specific program evaluation questions to which program evaluation protocols were linked and placed into a completed program evaluation plan. The program evaluation plan was then implemented and a program evaluation report was provided to the director and reviewed with that individual by the consultant. Finally, an evaluation of the program evaluation process itself was undertaken. The dissertation concludes with recommendations for both the development and improvement of early intervention outreach programs for toddlers with autism as well as recommendations for further implementation of this kind of program evaluation approach with early intervention outreach and related types of programs.

L’habitus della nuova specie è molto simile a quello delle specie del sottogenere Diaulaconia BERNHAUER, 1928, diffuso nella regione orientale ed etiopica, come Zyras compressicornis FAUVEL, 1905, di Giava, tuttavia la spermateca della nuova specie è del tutto differente da quella delle specie note: avvolta a matassa nella nuova specie e a capsula allungata nelle altre specie. Antennomeri quarto a decimo più lunghi che larghi nella nuova specie e trasversi o lunghi quanto larghi nelle specie a me note. Sia le antenne della nuova specie che quelle delle altre specie sono compresse lateralmente.
Etimologia: La nuova specie prende nome di «con labbro carenato» per la presenza di una vistosa carena mediana del labbro superiore.

description: This study investigates the relationship of caller follow-up evaluations to standardized measures of symptom reduction, caller characteristics, and interventions made during calls. Within a national multi-site evaluation of hotline centers, a sample of 710 adult crisis callers and 349 adult suicide callers completed a 21-item quantitative satisfaction measure through a structured phone interview. How callers evaluated their hotline experience two weeks after their call related significantly to standardized measures of their psychological state during and after the calls. The strongest relationships were found between callers’ answers to a one-item self-evaluation of Overall Improvement and positive changes in psychological states between the beginning of the call and the two-week follow-up, and between the end of the call and the two week follow-up. For crisis callers, their two-week follow-up single-item evaluations of Overall Improvement related the most to improvements in their mood from the beginning of the call to the two-week follow-up, as measured by a modified version of McNair, Lorr, and Droppleman’s (1992) shortened POMS. Secondly, their follow-up evaluation of Overall Improvement related inversely to their current state of Hopelessness, as measured by quantitative responses to two questions regarding “hope for improvement” and “ability to go on” at the time of follow-up. For suicide callers, their single-item follow-up evaluation of Overall Improvement related the most to degree of reduction in their Hopelessness from the end of the call to the two-week follow-up. Secondly, it also related to the degree of reduction in Psychological Pain (Shneidman, 1993) from the beginning of their call to the two-week follow-up. Smaller but also significant relationships were found between predictors and follow-up evaluations of factor-analyzed categories of Improved Problem-Solving and Emotion Regulation. Thus, hotline client follow-up evaluations of Improvement showed some validity, in that they had relationships with pre- and post-psychological measures. The meaning and usefulness of follow-up caller feedback as an outcome measure are discussed.

description: A qualitative, exploratory study was conducted to investigate the challenges faced by Muslim adolescents who attend public school in America.  Participants included four female and six male Muslim adolescents between the ages of 14 and 17, of varying ethnic backgrounds, who currently attend public high schools throughout central New Jersey.  Participants were primarily recruited through the Muslim Center of Middlesex County Mosque in Piscataway, NJ.  Focus group interviews were conducted separately, among the males and females, where the role of family, peers, and the practice of Islam in the public school setting was explored.  Additionally, the study sought to examine the coping strategies and resources utilized by these Muslim teens.  An interview with the imam from a local New Jersey mosque was completed to gain further insight on the obstacles faced by Muslim adolescents in America.  Analysis of the focus group interviews was completed using the grounded theory approach (Strauss & Corbin, 1997).  Although results indicate some similarities to obstacles faced by typical adolescents, such as peer pressure and parental expectations to perform well academically, Muslim teens must contend with a host of other challenges largely due to the ethno-religious backgrounds of these individuals.  The role of identity, peers, family, community, and school in relation to the challenges faced by participants are highlighted.  More specifically, adherence to Islamic beliefs, experiences in dealing with peers, parental expectations, and the practice of Islam in a post 9/11 era, are revealed.  Consistent with other work in this area, participants indicated that access to peers, especially Muslim peers within the community setting, are essential in providing a strong support network for coping with the aforementioned challenges.  Other specific themes and commonalities are presented. Implications of these findings are discussed and recommendations are made for parents, school, community members, and clinicians as well as for future research.
“I get by with a little help from my friends"

description: Prior to federal law PL-94-142, children with disabilities typically were excluded from regular, mainstream classes. This law emphasized the least restrictive environment since research had shown that all children benefited from inclusive learning environments. In the late 1990s, New Jersey was cited as having too high a proportion of children with disabilities in segregated placements. New Jersey received a State Improvement Grant (SIG) to increase the number of students with disabilities in regular education classes. This dissertation was designed to evaluate one aspect of local school districts’ program initiatives to achieve this end: teachers’ attitudes and perceptions regarding inclusion. Teachers are responsible for the daily implementation of inclusion practices. Their attitudes, perceptions, and beliefs are crucial for the success of inclusion. Although findings from previous research have indicated that teachers favor inclusion, their willingness to implement inclusive practices depends on the availability of supports and resources, as well as the attitudes of school personnel. A total of 856 general education, special education, and special area teachers from seven districts in New Jersey were surveyed regarding: (a) their attitudes and beliefs about inclusion; (b) their perceived administrative support; (c) their perceived ease in meeting the needs of students with disabilities in their classroom; and (d) the factors that have helped or hindered their ability to include students with disabilities in their classroom. Quantitative (Pearson product-moment correlation, multiple regression, independent samples t test) and qualitative (content analysis) methods were used to analyze the survey data. Special education teachers had more positive attitudes toward inclusion than did general education teachers. Relationships between teachers' attitudes and perceptions, and administrative support were found for general education teachers but not for special education teachers. Years of experience working with students with disabilities did not influence these relationships. Teachers identified training, positive attitudes, and support from colleagues, administrators, and other school personnel as factors facilitating inclusive practices. Barriers to implementation included large class size, insufficient planning time, lack of support from colleagues and school administrators, student behavior and ability, and teachers' negative attitudes. Implications for practice are discussed for administrators and school psychologists.

description: Eotetranychus rubiphilus Reck 1948
Material examined — 3 ♀♀, 3 ♂♂: 2 ♀♀ (Kabadüz, N40°49′33.83″ E37°52′43.94″, 698 m, 14. VI.2018), 1 ♀ 3 ♂♂ (Perşembe, N41°4′29.02″ E37°43′52.77″, 455 m, 26. VII.2018)
Remarks — Eotetranychus rubiphilus was first discovered on Rubus sp. (Rosaceae) in Georgia by Reck (1948). So far, this phytophagous mite has been recorded in several Palearctic countries such as Armenia, Azerbaijan, France, Georgia, Italy, Korea, Portugal, the Russian Federation, Serbia, Spain, Syria, Türkiye, and Ukraine. According to Migeon and Dorkeld (2024), it has been found on various host plants worldwide, including those from the families Brassicaceae, Geraniaceae, Rosaceae, and Vitaceae. In Türkiye, it was first reported on Prunus domestica L. and Prunus cerasus L. (Rosaceae) in Ordu by Altunç and Akyazı (2020). Little is known about the biology of E. rubiphilus. It was considered as the most important phytophagous mite affecting blackberries, particularly in greenhouses (Naves et al. 2021). Altunç and Akyazı
(2020) found this mite along with some predators such as P. finitimus, Euseius finlandicus (Oudemans), Typhlodromus (Typhlodromus) tiliae Oudemans (Mesostigmata ; Phytoseiidae), Cunaxoides lootsi Den Heyer & Castro (Trombidiformes: Cunaxidae) and Tydeus californicus (Banks), T. goetzi Schruft (Trombidiformes: Tydeidae) (predator tydeoid mites according to Baker and Wharton 1952 ; Gerson et al. 2003 ; Walter and Proctor 2013). Among phytoseiid predators, P. finitimus and E. finlandicus were also found in the kiwi vines of Ordu in the present study.

A postmodern critique of psychology's representation of Asian Americans
Creators: name: Liaw-Gray, Jane
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2009

description: The way American modernist psychology approaches research on Asian Americans raises problematic issues regarding national race relations and oppression. Under modernist psychology, race is typically treated as a nominal, present-versus-absent category, such as on a census checklist or demographics questionnaire, and the complexity of racial experience and racism is all but ignored. As psychologists, our participation in the construal of race as a stable, essentialized entity serves to collude with societal inequities, allowing many facets of race and racism to remain unconscious and operate unchallenged. This dissertation uses postmodern methodology to highlight the ambiguity of Asian American race within the currently dominant black and white paradigm. In accordance with the scholarship of Laura Uba, Michael Omi, Howard Winant, and Dana Takagi, the author argues that race operates as a verb, in which individuals can be racialized or deracialized depending on their context and location vis-à-vis others in society, explores how racism operates via the construction of a racial “other” that differs depending on the specific racial group in question, exposes how race operates in our society simultaneously as a sociobiological reality and as an illusion, and analyzes the strong link between the racial “other” and American ideology. Specifically, with respect to Asian Americans, their racial “other-ness” comes not in the form of race per se but in the form of “Orientalizing” narratives of culture and ethnicity which operate largely unchallenged in the psychology literature. Viewed through deconstructive methods, these dominant psychological narratives point to how America constructs a national ideological identity, preserves ideological (humanistic) values in the face of social inequities, and justifies current power hierarchies between groups. These points illustrate the complexity of racial dynamics that need to be acknowledged and examined in psychology via postmodern methodologies. The author further investigates how American ideological identity is transmitted and embodied in us, explores the relationship between an internalized ideological identity and psychological health, and comments on how these ideological values operate within clinical practice.
