Nonverbal behavior correlated with the shaped verbal behavior of children

Publisher: name: Springer
Year: 1990

description: Children under 6 years old pressed on response windows behind which stimuli appeared (star or tree). Presses occasionally lit lamps arranged in a column; a present was delivered when all lamps were lit. A random-ratio schedule in the presence of star alternated with a random-interval schedule in the presence of tree. These contingencies usually did not produce respective high and low response rates in the presence of star and tree, but the shaping of verbal behavior (e.g., "press a lot without stopping" or "press and wait") was sometimes accompanied by corresponding changes in response rate. Verbal shaping was accomplished between schedule components during verbal interactions between the child and a hand-puppet, Garfield the Cat, and used social consequences such as enthusiastic reactions to what the child had said as well as concrete consequences such as delivery of extra presents. Variables that may constrain the shaping of verbal behavior in children seem to include the vocabulary available to the child and the functional properties of that vocabulary; the correlation between rates of pressing and what the child says about them may depend upon such variables.

description: Abstract Background Medial tibial stress syndrome (MTSS) is a common lower leg injury experienced by runners. Although numerous risk factors are reported in the literature, many are non-modifiable and management of the injury remains difficult. Lower leg muscle structure and function are modifiable characteristics that influence tibial loading during foot-ground contact. Therefore, this study aimed to determine whether long-distance runners with MTSS displayed differences in in vivo lower leg muscle structure and function than matched asymptomatic runners. Methods Lower leg structure was assessed using ultrasound and a measure of lower leg circumference to quantify muscle cross-sectional area, thickness and lean lower leg girth. Lower leg function was assessed using a hand-held dynamometer to quantify maximal voluntary isometric contraction strength and a single leg heel raise protocol was used to measure ankle plantar flexor endurance. Outcome variables were compared between the limbs of long-distance runners suffering MTSS (n = 20) and matched asymptomatic controls (n = 20). Means, standard deviations, 95 % confidence intervals, mean differences and Cohen’s d values were calculated for each variable for the MTSS symptomatic and control limbs. Results MTSS symptomatic limbs displayed a significantly smaller flexor hallucis longus cross-sectional area, a smaller soleus thickness but a larger lateral gastrocnemius thickness than the control limbs. However, there was no statistical difference in lean lower leg girth. Compared to the matched control limbs, MTSS symptomatic limbs displayed deficits in maximal voluntary isometric contraction strength of the flexor hallucis longus, soleus, tibialis anterior and peroneal muscles, and reduced ankle plantar flexor endurance capacity. Conclusions Differences in lower leg muscle structure and function likely render MTSS symptomatic individuals less able to withstand the negative tibial bending moment generated during midstance, potentially contributing to the development of MTSS. The clinical implications of these findings suggest that rehabilitation protocols for MTSS symptomatic individuals should aim to improve strength of the flexor hallucis longus, soleus, tibialis anterior and peroneal muscles along with ankle plantar flexor endurance. However, the cross-sectional study design prevents us determining whether between group differences were a cause or effect of MTSS. Therefore, future prospective studies are required to substantiate the study findings.

The gifts of culture and of eloquence: An open letter to Michael J. Mahoney in reply to his article, "Scientific psychology and radical behaviorism"
Creators: name: Catania, A. Charles
Publisher: name: Springer
Year: 1991

description: In what seems to be a response to a paper by Skinner (1987), Mahoney (1989) provides evidence of unfamiliarity with and intellectual intolerance toward radical behaviorism by presenting a critique of it that includes a variety of improper and counterfactual attributions. For example, he argues that radical behaviorism is Cartesian rather than Baconian when the historical record shows the opposite, that it is fundamentally associationist when in fact it is selectionist, and that its philosophy of science is essentially that of operationalism and logical positivism when instead it moved on to other criteria decades ago. The details of Mahoney's history are sometimes flawed and sometimes unsubstantiated, as when he provides a distorted account of the origins of the Association for Behavior Analysis or when he makes undocumented claims about the banning of books. On examination, many of his arguments are couched in stylistic terms that share their rhetorical features with racial, ethnic, and religious stereotyping.

description: Planning under uncertainty and planning for racial equity both require imagination. In confronting the uncertain future, regional planners often opt for exploratory scenario planning: telling multiple future stories to prepare for any outcome. For equity planning, imagination supports vision beyond the deeply unequal present condition, wherein policy tinkering is insufficient for necessary change. And yet, scenario planning and equity planning are estranged. Although regional planners wish to engage both, they lack guidance on how. I look to close this gap by providing a framework (the Framework) for using scenarios in equity planning. The Framework builds on the five types of racial equity, a six-stage hybrid scenario process, and the three outcomes of public-sector scenarios. Using the Framework, I assessed the inclusion of equity in the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission’s Dispatches From Alternative Futures scenario plan. This plan successfully raises racial equity as a concern for the future of the Philadelphia (PA) region. However, the stakeholder group was not sufficiently diverse for deliberative equity and the scenario planners did not use tools that could assess the distributional outcomes. Neither epistemic nor restorative equity were a significant part of the scenario plan, leaving open the possibility for co-designed scenarios for a racial equity future. Metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs) can use the Framework to ensure that exploratory scenarios advance equity goals. Although the Framework can supply a starting point for MPOs, the most important voices are those from Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) and other marginalized communities. Scenario planners should consider how they can reach out to community members not just as stakeholders but as co-creators of a more epistemically equitable scenario planning process, one that addresses the uncertainties and aspirations that already percolate within these communities.

description: Crossing distance is considered a factor in both pedestrian safety and behavior. However, it has seldom been quantified within or across entire cities or related to walking outcomes. Combining data encoded in OpenStreetMap and drawn from high-resolution satellite imagery, we measured formal pedestrian crossings throughout a dense European city (Paris [France]), a dense American city (San Francisco [CA]), and a less-dense, more car-centric American city (Irvine [CA]). This granular approach—covering roughly 49,000 total crossings—identified inter- and intraurban spatial patterns in the distribution of pedestrian crossing distance, including clusters of long crossings that likely deter walking and increase its risk. By overlaying recent pedestrian–vehicle collisions on these novel data sets we found that longer crossing distance correlated with increased likelihood of collisions, raising the salience of traffic-calming interventions. Quantifying pedestrian crossing distance at the scale of entire municipalities empowers transportation planners to identify pedestrian-hostile crossings (individuals and clusters), add context to collision trends, and geographically target locations for traffic calming. These cases collectively demonstrate how the increasing prioritization of the automobile in city planning quantitatively changes (and degrades) the pedestrian environment, as well as how low-tech investments, such as sidewalk extensions and refuge islands, can mitigate these trends.

description: Groundwater ecosystems have a diverse and unique fauna, often dominated by Crustacea and generally characterised by short range endemics confined to single aquifers. Much of this knowledge has come from studies conducted either in fractured rock aquifers or alluvial aquifers. Karstic subterranean environments are present in the Cambrian Limestone Aquifer (CLA) in the Northern Territory, Australia, a freshwater aquifer which spans an area of ~28,000 km2. The presence of underground caverns and channels potentially allows extensive connectivity within this groundwater system. The emerging shale gas industry in the Beetaloo region, which underlies the CLA, provided the impetus to undertake the first survey of the potential existence of a stygofaunal community. Twenty-six groundwater wells (bores) and two springs were sampled in August and October 2019, across a distance of ~500 km, from the sub-tropical Mataranka region in the north to the semi-arid Barkly Tablelands in the south. Plankton nets and motorised pumps were used to collect water samples and conventional microscope-based morphological examinations in conjunction with environmental DNA (eDNA) were used to determine the presence of stygofauna. COI barcoding and 16S rRNA regions were also used for phylogenetic analysis. All stygofaunal communities were dominated by crustaceans, namely shrimps, amphipods, ostracods, copepods and syncarids. This fauna showed little affinity with the stygofauna recorded from more extensively sampled aquifers in north-western Australia, with new genera and species present in the CLA. eDNA analysis showed the presence of diverse biota at sites where direct water sampling for intact animals was difficult. COI and 16S analysis confirmed that a species of blind shrimp, Parisia unguis, occurred extensively throughout the aquifer, over a distance of at least ~300 km. The presence of Pa. unguis at widely separated sites across the CLA is consistent with substantial connectivity within the aquifer. This connectivity indicates that the risk of groundwater contamination from fracking chemicals needs to be adequately mitigated to prevent widespread effects.

Estimation of Monotone Functions via P-Splines: A Constrained Dynamical Optimization Approach
Creators: name: Shen, Jinglai

Publisher: name: SIAM
Year: 2011

description: Estimation of monotone functions has broad applications in statistics, engineering, and science. This paper addresses asymptotic behaviors of monotone penalized spline estimators using constrained dynamical optimization techniques. The underlying regression function is approximated by a B-spline of an arbitrary degree subject to the first-order difference penalty. The optimality conditions for spline coefficients give rise to a size-dependent complementarity problem. As a key technical result of the paper, the uniform Lipschitz property of optimal spline coefficients is established by exploiting piecewise linear and polyhedral theories. This property forms a cornerstone for stochastic boundedness, uniform convergence, and boundary consistency of the monotone estimator. The estimator is then approximated by a solution of a differential equation subject to boundary conditions. This allows the estimator to be represented by a kernel regression estimator defined by a related Green's function of an ODE. The asymptotic normality is established at interior points via the Green's function. The convergence rate is shown to be independent of spline degrees, and the number of knots does not affect asymptotic distribution, provided that it tends to infinity fast enough.

description: The global rise of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) phenotypes is an exemplar for rapid evolutionary response. Resistance arises as a consequence of humanity’s widespread and largely indiscriminate use of antimicrobial compounds. However, some features of this crisis remain perplexing. The remarkably widespread and rapid rise of diverse, novel and effective resistance phenotypes is in stark contrast to the apparent paucity of antimicrobial producers in the global microbiota. From the viewpoint of evolutionary theory, it should be possible to use selection coefficients to examine these phenomena. In this work we introduce an elaboration on the selection coefficient s termed selective efficiency, considering the genetic, metabolic, ecological and evolutionary impacts that accompany selective phenotypes. We then demonstrate the utility of the selective efficiency concept using AMR and antimicrobial production phenotypes as ‘worked examples’ of the concept. In accomplishing this objective, we also put forward cogent hypotheses to explain currently puzzling aspects of the AMR crisis. Finally, we extend the selective efficiency concept into a consideration of the ongoing management of the AMR crisis.

description: We present a variational quantum eigensolver (VQE) algorithm for the efficient bootstrapping of the causal representation of multiloop Feynman diagrams in the loop-tree duality or, equivalently, the selection of acyclic configurations in directed graphs. A loop Hamiltonian based on the adjacency matrix describing a multiloop topology, and whose different energy levels correspond to the number of cycles, is minimized by VQE to identify the causal or acyclic configurations. The algorithm has been adapted to select multiple degenerated minima and thus achieves higher detection rates. A performance comparison with a Grover’s based algorithm is discussed in detail. The VQE approach requires, in general, fewer qubits and shorter circuits for its implementation, albeit with lesser success rates.

description: Since the introduction of the three-wheeler which is popularly known as keke, into the Nigeria transportation system, they have gained very wide acceptance as a convenient mode of transportation across the country. The regulation of their operation is barely non-existent in many urban and semi-urban towns. It is an all-comers affair, with the states and local authorities merely concerned with the token levy they collect from the operators on daily basis. The operators are mainly unemployed youths but in recent times, this is fast changing. The economic situation in the country which has worsened over time has made many artisanal practitioners leave their craft for keke transport business. It has also drawn secondary school leavers and even under aged individuals into the pool of keke transport operators. 

This development is having some negative impact on the social and economic life of the country. The artisans are having difficult times recruiting young people into their apprenticeships. While some of those artisans are abandoning their crafts for keke transport business as a quick means of income generation for their economic survival. This has created dearth in apprentices in artisanal field. 

This work examined the nexus between the lure for quick income and the dearth in artisanal apprentice in Aba, a hob of Micro, Small and Medium Scale enterprises in the country. Raw data through questionnaire and in-depth interviews were generated. The collected data were analysed and presented using chi-square and tables.it was established that the quick income generating nature of the three-wheeler has huge attraction for the youths which is contributing to dearth in artisanal apprentices. From the findings, one of the recommendation for proper government regulation of the sector for balanced development and economic sustainability.

description: Antibacterial photodynamic therapy (PDT) is one of the emerging methods for curbing multidrug-resistant bacterial infections. Effective fluorescent photosensitizers with dual functions of bacteria imaging and PDT applications are highly desirable. In this study, three cationic and heteroleptic cyclometalated Ir(III) complexes with the formula of [Ir(CˆN)2(NˆN)][PF6] are prepared and characterized. These Ir(III) complexes named Ir(ppy)2bP, Ir(1-pq)2bP, and Ir(2-pq)2bP are comprised of three CˆN ligands (i.e., 2-phenylpyridine (ppy), 1-phenylisoquinoline (1-pq), and 2-phenylquinoline (2-pq)) and one NˆN bidentate co-ligand (bP). The photophysical characterizations demonstrate that these Ir(III) complexes are red-emitting, aggregation-induced emission active luminogens. The substitution of phenylpyridine with phenylquinoline isomers in the molecules greatly enhances their UV and visible-light absorbance as well as the photoinduced reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation ability. All three Ir(III) complexes can stain both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria efficiently. Interestingly, even though Ir(1-pq)2bP and Ir(2-pq)2bP are constitutional isomers with very similar structures and similar ROS generation ability in buffer, the former eradicates bacteria much more effectively than the other through white light-irradiated photodynamic inactivation. This work will provide valuable information on the rational design of Ir(III) complexes for fluorescence imaging and efficient photodynamic inactivation of bacteria.

description: The concepts of reinforcement and of higher-order classes of behavior are reviewed and applied to analyses of self-reinforcement, self-efficacy, the causal status of private events, and the role of verbal behavior in human action. The analyses support the case that Bandura's criticisms of behavior analytic thought rest upon several misunderstandings, the most important of which are the distinctions between theories and phenomena and a neglect of the process of ontogenic selection. Bandura's persistence in promoting these misunderstandings is puzzling, because over a period of at least two decades he has repeated without substantial correction arguments that were refuted at the time he first made them. Bandura's views on these concepts can be interpreted as a contemporary variety of creationism in behavioral science.

description: Tropical cyclones are among the most damaging extreme weather events. An increase in Atlantic tropical cyclone activity has been observed, but attribution to global warming remains challenging due to large inter-annual variability and modeling challenges. Here we show that the increase in Atlantic tropical cyclone activity since the 1980s can be robustly ascribed to variations in atmospheric circulation as well as sea surface temperature (SST) increase. Based on a novel weather-pattern-based statistical model, we find that the forced warming trend in Atlantic SSTs over the 1982–2020 period has doubled the probability of extremely active tropical cyclone seasons. For the year 2020, our results suggest that such an exceptionally intense season might have been made twice as likely by ocean surface warming. In our statistical model, seasonal atmospheric circulation remains the dominant factor explaining the inter-annual variability and the occurrence of very active seasons. However, our study underscores the importance of rising SSTs that lead to more extreme outcomes in terms of cyclone intensity for the same seasonal atmospheric patterns. Our findings provide a new perspective on the contribution of ocean warming to the increase in recent hurricane activity and illustrate how anthropogenic climate change has contributed to a decisive increase in Atlantic tropical cyclone season activity over the observational period.

description: Viperin is a gene with a broad spectrum of antiviral functions and various mechanisms of action. The role of viperin in herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) infection is unclear, with conflicting data in the literature that is derived from a single human cell type. We have addressed this gap by investigating viperin during HSV-1 infection in several cell types, spanning species and including immortalized, non-immortalized and primary cells. We demonstrate that viperin upregulation by HSV-1 infection is cell-type-specific, with mouse cells typically showing greater increases compared with those of human origin. Further, overexpression and knockout of mouse, but not human viperin significantly impedes and increases HSV-1 replication, respectively. In primary mouse fibroblasts, viperin upregulation by infection requires viral gene transcription and occurs in a predominantly IFN-independent manner. Further we identify the N-terminal domain of viperin as being required for the anti-HSV-1 activity. Interestingly, this is the region of viperin that differs most between mouse and human, which may explain the apparent species-specific activity against HSV-1. Finally, we show that HSV-1 virion host shutoff (vhs) protein is a key viral factor that antagonises viperin in mouse cells. We conclude that viperin can be upregulated by HSV-1 in mouse and human cells, and that mouse viperin has anti-HSV-1 activity.

description: By breaking sensitive associations between attributes, database fragmentation can protect the privacy of outsourced data storage. Database fragmentation algorithms need prior knowledge of sensitive associations in the tackled database and set it as the optimization objective. Thus, the effectiveness of these algorithms is limited by prior knowledge. Inspired by the anonymity degree measurement in anonymity techniques such as k-anonymity, an anonymity-driven database fragmentation problem is defined in this paper. For this problem, a set-based adaptive distributed differential evolution (S-ADDE) algorithm is proposed. S-ADDE adopts an island model to maintain population diversity. Two set-based operators, i.e., set-based mutation and set-based crossover, are designed in which the continuous domain in the traditional differential evolution is transferred to the discrete domain in the anonymity-driven database fragmentation problem. Moreover, in the set-based mutation operator, each individual’s mutation strategy is adaptively selected according to the performance. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed S-ADDE is significantly better than the compared approaches. The effectiveness of the proposed operators is verified.

description: The ODISSEE (Online Data Intensive Solutions for Science in the Exabytes Era) project aims to develop more efficient, less energy-intensive and more flexible solutions for processing the deluge of data that will be generated by upcoming planetary research infrastructures such as CERN LHCb and SKAO. To achieve this goal, the project will notably design Prove of Concepts of data stream processing.

An essential step will be the Dissemination, Exploitation, and Communication Plan aimed at guaranteeing a significant uptake of the results. The communications and dissemination activities will target each of the identified stakeholder groups. The stakeholder groups presented in this deliverable reflect and further expand upon the priority target audiences identified during the proposal phase, namely key research infrastructures (e.g. SKA, LHC, SLICES-RI), other data-intensive RIs, the European ICT industry, ICT experts, R&I initiatives, and the general public.

To ensure sufficient result exploitation, the applied methodology will include the creation of relevant content for each stakeholder group and their engagement. Some of the tools that will be used include press releases, mailing, social media, events, and webinars and will lead to the project website to monitor efficiently all the dissemination and communication activities.

Preliminary exploitation measures have been conceived, but feedback from stakeholders and the maturation of the project's KERs will contribute to the elaboration of the exploitation plan, which will be updated during the next iterations of this document.

description: In concurrent-chains schedules, pigeons prefer terminal links that provide two keys correlated with reinforcers (free choice) over those that provide only one key (forced choice), terminal-link reinforcement rates being equal. With same-size keys, free choice provides a larger area available for pecking. Preferences were examined using terminal links that differed in key number only (one or two) or key size only (small and medium or medium and large), or that equated the area of the two free-choice keys with that of the forced-choice key. Medium (standard) keys were typically preferred to small keys, but indifference was typically obtained between medium and large keys. The size preference usually overrode free-choice preference with one medium key pitted against two small keys, but free-choice preference was reliably observed with one large key pitted against two medium keys. In other words, preferences were a joint function of key number and key area, implying that free-choice preference is not reducible to preference for larger key areas. Free-choice preference requires separate keys rather than larger areas; the relevant behavioral units are the discriminated operants correlated with each terminal-link key rather than classes defined by topographical features such as area or perimeter.

description: Die Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit der Analyse der Anwendbarkeit des Controllingsystems - Integrierte Zielverpflichtungsplanung und Kontrolle - (INZPLA) für Bauprojekte. Dazu werden die für die Adaptierung notwendigen allgemeinen und spezifischen Anwendungsbedingungen erarbeitet, um das System für den Gebrauch im Bauwesen nutzbar zu machen.Im Rahmen dieser Analyse werden verschiedene branchenspezifische Instrumente vorgestellt, durch die eine Überführung aller wesentlichen Informationen aus der Kalkulation und der Leistungsmeldung in das System der Integrierten Zielverpflichtungsplanung und Kontrolle gewährleistet werden soll.Der Einsatz des Systems hat gegenüber existierender anderer Modelle unter anderem den Vorteil, dass der INZPLA-Ansatz gute Kostenabbildungs-Konzepte vorsieht, die flexible Ausgestaltungsmöglichkeiten und branchentypische Fertigungsbedingungen berücksichtigen. Das besondere Augenmerk der Arbeit gilt der Frage der verursachungsgerechten Gemein-kostenzuteilung, für die INZPLA vor allem unter dem Aspekt der im Bauwesen häufig vorkommenden Mengenänderungen eine adäquate und flexible Lösung bietet.Bezüglich der Steuerung, Überwachung und Kontrolle einzelner Baustellen kann die Integrierte Zielverpflichtungsplanung und Kontrolle für die Vergleichsrechnung und eine damit einhergehende Abweichungsanalyse genutzt werden.Nicht zuletzt stellt die Ausarbeitung einen ersten Versuch einer umfassenden Übersicht über die Rahmenbedingungen dar, die für die Entwicklung einer auf die Baubranche angepassten integrierten Zielplanung mit anschließender Kontrolle notwendig sind. Denn die hier beschriebenen und in INZPLA verwendeten Prinzipien lassen sich auf alle wesentlichen Bereiche der Baubranche übertragen.

description: It is crucial to explore knowledge, attitudes and perceptions (KAP) about rabies among the people in the community, the personnel dealing with animal bite management and suspected rabies patients, including humans and animals, to facilitate intervention in improving rabies elimination strategies. In 2016, we conducted an interactive face-to-face survey in three different districts of Bangladesh to understand the extent of KAP towards rabies in the community peoples (CPs), human healthcare professionals (HCPs) and veterinary practitioners (VPs). A set of prescribed questions was employed to measure what proportion of each group possessed sufficient knowledge, positive attitudes and adequate perceptions about rabies. A total of 1133 CPs, 211 HCPs and 168 VPs were interviewed by using a standard questionnaire comprising both closed and open-ended questions. Of the CPs, 49% identified the disease correctly (i.e. rabies is caused by an animal bite or a scratch). Only 29% of the CPs were aware that a wound should be washed immediately with soap and water after an animal bite or a scratch. However, only 49% of the CPs, 65% of the HCPs and 60% of the VPs felt that it is important to consult a physician and receive post-exposure vaccine as the first line of treatment following an animal exposure. Among the HCPs, 23% of the respondents did not possess sufficient knowledge about animal bites as categorised by the World Health Organization (WHO), and 12% of the respondents did not possess the knowledge on how to manage an animal bite properly. Out of 52% of the VPs who previously treated suspected rabid animals, only 29% had a history of taking rabies pre-exposure prophylaxis (PEP). Lack of formal education and rural subsistence were found to largely contribute to poor rabies KAP level among the CPs (P ≤ 0.01). There has been a high demand for proper training to be provided to HCPs and VPs for the effective management of an animal bite incidence in human and animals, respectively. Multi-sectoral collaboration through integrated One Health initiatives including community education, awareness programmes, facilitation of rabies PEP, and dog vaccination as well as its population control are critical in the way forward to control rabies in Bangladesh.
