description: Crown Cheloniidae contains five extant genera of hard-shelled sea turtles that exhibit diverse diets tied directly to their feeding ecomorphology. Relationships between extant and stem cheloniids, which together comprise Pan-Cheloniidae, remain enigmatic, impeding the ability to pinpoint the timing and evolution of key ecomorphological features. 

Previously undescribed turtle fossils from the Tortonian (11.6–7.2 Ma) Santa Margarita Formation in Santa Cruz County, California, may help reveal how ecomorphology evolved in the Pan-Cheloniidae. In this thesis, the age of these fossils is estimated, and their anatomical characters are described. The turtle fossils and several pan-cheloniid taxa were examined in character-by-character assessment matrices and chronostratigraphic analysis. The matrices were analyzed by maximum parsimony and Bayesian statistical analysis. This produced revised phylogenies for the group, upon which ecomorphology was plotted for examination in an evolutionary context. 

The newly described turtle material includes an articulated skull that likely represents a new taxon and possesses a shearing ecomorphology. Postcranial elements are unassignable to the skull and exhibit a suite of derived and plesiomorphic characters. Phylogenetic analyses recover the skull taxon within or sister to crown Cheloniidae. The revised phylogeny supports the iterative evolution model for shearing in pan-cheloniids such that it evolved independently at least three times. However, the uncertainty of the position of the skull taxon obfuscates exactly how shearing evolved in crown Cheloniidae. Even so, the presence of a derived fossil sea turtle skull in the Santa Margarita Formation indicates that similarly derived postcranial material should be expected among future discoveries from this unit.

description: Latino men experience cultural, societal, and peer pressures that affect their academic performance, and there continues to be a lack of institutional support for this student group. This study examined the impact of support services on math persistence particularly for the population of Latino male community college students. A sample of 2,275 Latino male students from a Southern California community college was obtained. Results from three separate logistic regression tests indicated that Latino male students who participated in support services increased their odds of persisting in math by 32-49%. Results from multiple regression tests yielded a statistically significant relationship between support service participation and cumulative units completed. However, there was no relationship between support service participation and cumulative GPA. One of the three services included in the support service participation variable was a learning community model, while all three services provided hands-on personal counseling interactions. Recommendations from the findings include (1) implement learning community models, (2) collaborate with counseling department, and (3) send community college counselors and faculty into high schools.

Decreasing Entropy in Thoughts and Evolution: Main Ability Related to Inside Nature

description: Abstract: In general, religious Gods have been considered for phenomena that cannot be objectively explained, based on the concept that humans are either believers or nonbelievers. However, science-based Gods prevent the existence of religious alleles, since they do not discriminate these two types of humans. Thus, the purpose of the present study is to mathematically explain phenomena by classifying them into the following six categories: infinity, no, complete fixed, incomplete fixed, chaotic solutions, and random solutions. It also examines the relationship between incomplete fixed and chaotic states (which is continuous and can be explained by chaos theory) as well as the relationship between other solutions (which is not continuous). It has been shown that the necessary conditions in chaos theory include continuous covariation and three or more variables. Moreover, in phenomena that involve physical bodies, there is a relationship with gravitational waves, while in chaotic phenomena, electromagnetic waves exist. The results, based on the second law of thermodynamics, showed that phenomena can be explained not as an act of a religious God, but that of a science-based God. In addition, it indicated that science-based Gods can prevent the existence of religious alleles, since they do not discriminate these two types of humans (i.e., believers and nonbelievers).

description: The aim of current investigation was to study the relationship among emotional intelligence, mindfulness and emotional self-regulation in high school intelligent students. in line with the objectives of the study, using sectional method 144 intelligent students (77male and 67 female) of intelligent schools were selected in random sampling method. They were asked to fill Bar-On EQ-i, FFMQ, and Self-Regulation Questionnaire (SRQ) Data were analyzed using chi square, t-test, and Pearson’s moment correlation and multivariate regression statistical tests. chi square tests revealed that the two studied male and female intelligent students have no significant difference in the demographic variables. Moreover results of the t-test indicated that the two groups have significant difference in emotional intelligence. Results of stepwise regression indicated that variables of acting with awareness and no reaction from mindfulness variable explains about 17% of emotional self-regulation variance. Moreover, the components of problem solution and optimism about emotional intelligence explain 38% of emotional self-regulation. According to the results, it can be concluded that from components of mindfulness, acting with awareness and no mental reaction and from components of emotional intelligence, problem solution and optimism play a major role in emotional self-regulation of the intelligent students. Hence it seems necessary to pay much attention to the role of such components in emotional self-regulation and decreasing negative emotions of such students.

description: Background: Literature underline that attachment styles can be considered as an important factor that facilitates exploration of the self and environment, and influences individual’s thoughts, feelings and behavior, above all during adolescence.


The purposes of the present study were the following: to investigate the relation between parenting, alexithymia and adult attachment styles; to measure the predictive variables of the adult attachment-related anxiety and avoidance, and the predictors of the level of alexithymia.


Method: The participants were 217 students, of which: a group of 97 Andalusian academic students (44.7%), aged between 18 and 29 (M = 19.47; SD = 2.23); a group of 120 students from Sicilian academic students (55.3%), aged between 18 and 23 (M = 18.85; SD = 1.11).


The participants were assigned to complete the following questionnaires: the Parental Bonding Instrument, the Toronto Alexithymia Scale, and the Experience in Close Relationships.


Results: Findings suggest that there are differences between Italy and Spain in adult attachment styles: in particular, Italian students appeared to manifest a higher tendency to use the avoidance style than Spanish ones, which manifested a higher level of anxiety. Furthermore, belonging to the Andalusian culture, and above all, having an elevated perception of the paternal and maternal overprotection could represent possible predictive variables to the general level of alexithymia.


Conclusions: The results of this study support the research hypothesis that alexithymia is associated with the perceived parental bonding and attachment style.

description: Vegetation structure plays an important role in determining the abundance and community composition of grassland animals. This is especially relevant in the shortgrass steppe, where grazing by large herbivores may mediate potential climate change-induced increases in the abundance of woody shrubs, potentially altering habitat for rodents. Because rodents are known nest predators, increases in shrub cover that increase rodent abundance may negatively affect nesting birds. My research aim was to determine how rodents respond to vegetation changes caused by herbivores and if these changes increase predation on songbird nests. Over two years, I conducted fieldwork in north-central Colorado within five replicates of long-term experimental plots that manipulated access by large (livestock, pronghorn) and medium-sized mammals (rabbits, prairie dogs). I quantified vegetation cover and herbivore activity in plots, live-trapped rodents to estimate relative abundance, and monitored the survival of artificial nests, some with cameras. Plots that excluded herbivores had higher shrub densities and cover and taller vegetation. Although rodent abundance did not differ significantly between treatments, nocturnal species tended to be more abundant in plots with higher shrub density. Nocturnal species also preferred plots with less shortgrass vegetation, more cacti cover, and taller vegetation. Ground squirrels, mice and, surprisingly, kangaroo rats, preyed upon artificial nests, and rates of nest predation were higher in plots with more rodents. My results may improve our understanding of the indirect effects of shrub encroachment on interactions between rodents and nesting grassland birds in the shortgrass steppe.

description: Robotic arms have been increasingly used in different application areas such as manufacturing, automobility, and the medical industry. Research is also ongoing into how to utilize robotic arms to improve the lives of ordinary citizens who suffer from various forms of disabilities. For instance, it is often difficult for physically impaired individuals to complete tasks such as obtaining food or drink from the refrigerator and picking a needed item from a drawer. In such cases, a robotic arm could potentially be used to assist the visually impaired individual to pick up items. This work builds on existing research that utilizes audio commands, natural language processing, and object detection to determine the object of interest and potential grasp point in an image. This thesis builds on that work in multiple dimensions. First, the system is extended to work with streaming video from an Intel RealSense D455 camera and we propose and implement a technique to dynamically adjust the image data sent to the grasp detection module. Thirdly, we translate the grasp point coordinates from the camera coordinate system to the robotic arm coordinate system and finally integrate the solution with a Dobot Magician robotic arm. We successfully tested the solution and showed that given the relevant command e.g. pick a blue bottle, using the camera and robotic arm our solution can identify the blue bottle, a grasp point, and pick the bottle when it is placed randomly in a given area.
A REVIEW OF ASYLUM SEEKERS AND REFUGEES IN ITALY:  WHERE IS THE PSYCHOLOGICAL RESEARCH GOING?

description: According to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), nowadays, 65,3 million individuals have been forcibly displaced worldwide. In Europe, Italy is one of the countries with the highest number of asylum seeker arrivals per year and the emergency nature of the present-day migratory flows are increasingly involving researchers and clinicians to come up with and develop new models of research and interventions. This article aims to conduct a review of the Italian psychological research in the field of forced migration in order to systematise the Italian studies, to compare the Italian situation with the international one and to define limits, resources and future directions of current Italian research. A literature review in the databases Scopus, PubMed and Web of Knowledge for documents published from 2012 to 2017 was conducted. From the analysis, twelve articles emerged principally following two main trajectories of investigation: a clinical and mental health-related trajectory and a psychosocial and community-based one. Compared with the wider international field of research, a general underdevelopment of Italian research emerged. Research into protective factors with regard to the development of psychopathological outcomes and on interventions is highly recommended. Results highlighted support for future research on the theme of asylum seekers and refugees. Some cause for reflection as regards levels of criticality, the direction of future research and specific links between research and Italian social policies were given.

Research is also ongoing into how to utilize robotic arms to improve the lives of ordinary citizens who suffer from various forms of disabilities. For instance, it is often difficult for physically impaired individuals to complete tasks such as obtaining food or drink from the refrigerator and picking a needed item from a drawer. In such cases, a robotic arm could potentially be used to assist the visually impaired individual to pick up items.

This work builds on existing research that utilizes audio commands, natural language processing, and object detection to determine the object of interest and potential grasp point in an image. This thesis builds on that work in multiple dimensions. First, the system is extended to work with streaming video from an Intel RealSense D455 camera and we propose and implement a technique to dynamically adjust the image data sent to the grasp detection module. Thirdly, we translate the grasp point coordinates from the camera coordinate system to the robotic arm coordinate system and finally integrate the solution with a Dobot Magician robotic arm. 

We successfully tested the solution and showed that given the relevant command e.g. pick a blue bottle, using the camera and robotic arm our solution can identify the blue bottle, a grasp point, and pick the bottle when it is placed randomly in a given area.

description: Objectives: In this work we tried to infer some important information in psychotherapeutic process from different measures. The primary aim was to obtain a better assessment of strengths and weaknesses of two patients during the first evaluation sessions and generally in psychotherapy. Methods: We used two main measures, the Adult Attachment Interview and the SWAP-200. The first assessed adult mental representations regarding relationships, while the latter assessed personality disorders and traits. We also measured reflective functioning through the Reflective Functioning scale applied on the AAI. As for the SWAP-200, the Personality Health Index and the RADIO were calculated. Results: We tried to explain in descriptive terms some unusual results from the measurements, comparing the data. Discordances in the different levels of reflective functioning of the two patients were explicated through the in-depth analysis of the SWAP indices, showing different ways to deal with personal and relational difficulties. Conclusions: Comparing two different patients that share similar scores in the assessment can be confusing. In order to better envision strengths and weaknesses of the patients it is sometimes necessary to go in depth of the different indices. Also, we tried to stress some of these results in order to better orient the therapeutic program.

I was proud and very stimulated to deal with something that links different aspects of my life: math and analytic psychology.


I find very interesting the analogies, not just linguistic but also structural, between these disciplines, both products of the human mind.

description: Surfperches are a family of predominantly marine fishes with a reproductive mode that is uncommon in teleosts (i.e., viviparity). Investigating spermatogenesis and sperm packaging is important to gain a complete understanding of viviparity. My study characterized the testicular development of black perch (Embiotoca jacksoni), dwarf perch (Micrometrus minimus), and walleye surfperch (Hyperprosopon argenteum) using paraffin histological techniques. The testes of reproductive dwarf perch accounted for 6.1 ± 2% of their body weight (i.e., gonadosomatic index), black perch testes were 1.3 ± 0.7%, and walleye surfperch testes were 1.4 ± 0.9% of their body weight. Surfperch sperm cell development was similar to spermatogenesis described in other teleost and vertebrate species. Spermatozeugmata formation occurred within the cysts of the surfperch testes. Upon release into sperm ducts, spermatozeugmata were associated with a periodic acid-Schiff-positive substance that may serve a protective function for spermatozoa and enhance sperm longevity. Spermatozeugmata also had a collagen component that may assist in maintaining the integrity of spermatozeugmata during transfer into the female reproductive tract. Male black perch and walleye surfperch were found to be reproductive during the fall whereas dwarf perch were reproductive during spring and summer. The difference in reproductive seasonality between the three species may be a result of extended sperm storage of female dwarf perches which does not appear to occur in black perch or walleye surfperch. Overall, my study provides details on spermatogenesis and formation of the spermatozeugmata that is transferred into the female reproductive tract, thus providing insight into the reproduction of marine viviparous surfperches.

description: This paper presents the correlation between Intermittent Explosive Disorder (IED), listed in the domain of Disruptive, Impulse-Control and Conduct Disorders in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders Fifth Edition (DSM 5), and metabolic alterations. A 64-years-old man with no previous history of major psychiatric disorders, presenting an onset of IED almost concomitant with the diagnosis of diabetes mellitus and dyslipidemia, is assessed upon a clinical and neuropsychological evaluation. Authors emphasize the influence of metabolic alterations and liver disease in the manifestation of impulsive aggression and violent behaviour, suggesting a multidisciplinary approach of those patients who present IED and concomitant metabolic alterations.

description: As cookies are commonly used on websites, they can constitute a significant threat to user’s privacy by tracking surfing behaviour. The browsers provide a variety of options for cookie settings, thereby potentially enabling the user to execute some control over the extent of being tracked. However, studies show that the interfaces for these settings are often deemed too confusing or complex for lay users, often failing to provide necessary explanations, and therefore preventing the users from properly using these setting interfaces to protect themselves against tracking. In this paper, we present a concept for a privacy-friendly cookie setting interface that is meant to support the user in configuring their cookie settings. The setting  interface in our concept (1) uses an assistant to guide the user towards their preferred cookie settings via a series of questions; and (2) enables the user to set their cookie settings manually, providing explanations for each of the options available to the user, including the potential advantages and disadvantages of each option. To gauge the viability of the proposal, the concept has been implemented as a Chrome extension and evaluated in a user study with 21 participants. The results have shown, that the extension is well received by the participants and provides better usability than the standard cookie settings interface in Chrome.

The symbol theory in S. Freud, C. G. Jung and C. S. Peirce

Publisher: name: University of Messina
Year: 2017

description: The work is aimed at studying three points of view, whose convergences and conflicts deepen the theme of the symbol, where the same faces to the psychic life full of meaning. The process of signification of objects in fact, provides an opportunity for knowledge of the psychic life of the subjects. As the product of mind, therefore, the attention falls, from semiotics, on the meanings of the dynamic psychology, whether it is psychoanalysis or analytical psychology. In this sense, from a phenomenological and semiotic approach, based on Peirceiane mode of existence of the sign, the analysis continues with the theme of the return of the Freudian symbol to converge to the common and different aspects of Jungian analytic theory. The convergent products of the different approaches, in fact, provide the ability to grasp what regardless of theory and hermeneutics, remains in the clinical context through the possibility of profound contact with the subject.
