Cross-sections for the gravitational scattering of massless particles
Creators: name: Peet, Frederick Gordon
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The purpose of this thesis is to examine the gravitational scattering of massless scalar particles, photons, four component neutrinos, and two component neutrinos by one another. A modification of the quantum theory of the weak gravitational field developed by Gupta is used as a basis for the considerations. Cross-sections are given for the gravitational scattering of scalar particles by: scalar particles, photons, four component neutrinos, and two component neutrinos; of photons by: photons, four component neutrinos, and two component neutrinos; of four component neutrinos by four component neutrinos, and of two component neutrinos by two component neutrinos. The cross-section given by Barker et al and by Boccaletti et al for the scattering of photons by photons is confirmed. The cross-section for the scattering of massive scalar particles by massive scalar particles quoted by DeWitt and the cross-section for the scattering of photons by massive scalar particles given by Boccaletti et al are found to be in error and are corrected.

description: We consider the probe of astrophysical signals through radio interferometers with small field of view and baselines with non-negligible and constant component in the pointing direction. In this context, the visibilities measured essentially identify with a noisy and incomplete Fourier coverage of the product of the planar signals with a linear chirp modulation. In light of the recent theory of compressed sensing and in the perspective of defining the best possible imaging techniques for sparse signals, we analyze the related spread spectrum phenomenon and suggest its universality relative to the sparsity dictionary. Our results rely both on theoretical considerations related to the mutual coherence between the sparsity and sensing dictionaries, as well as on numerical simulations.

Vibration Fault Diagnosis in Wind Turbines based on Automated Feature Learning
Creators: name: Meyer, Angela
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2022
Subjects: subject: Machine Learning (cs.LG)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: A growing number of wind turbines are equipped with vibration measurement systems to enable a close monitoring and early detection of developing fault conditions. The vibration measurements are analyzed to continuously assess the component health and prevent failures that can result in downtimes. This study focuses on gearbox monitoring but is applicable also to other subsystems. The current state-of-the-art gearbox fault diagnosis algorithms rely on statistical or machine learning methods based on fault signatures that have been defined by human analysts. This has multiple disadvantages. Defining the fault signatures by human analysts is a time-intensive process that requires highly detailed knowledge of the gearbox composition. This effort needs to be repeated for every new turbine, so it does not scale well with the increasing number of monitored turbines, especially in fast growing portfolios. Moreover, fault signatures defined by human analysts can result in biased and imprecise decision boundaries that lead to imprecise and uncertain fault diagnosis decisions. We present a novel accurate fault diagnosis method for vibration-monitored wind turbine components that overcomes these disadvantages. Our approach combines autonomous data-driven learning of fault signatures and health state classification based on convolutional neural networks and isolation forests. We demonstrate its performance with vibration measurements from two wind turbine gearboxes. Unlike the state-of-the-art methods, our approach does not require gearbox-type specific diagnosis expertise and is not restricted to predefined frequencies or spectral ranges but can monitor the full spectrum at once.
Fluid Therapy for the Bovine Patient

description: The purpose of this presentation is to illustrate our use of fluid therapy on bovine patients. There will not be a detailed discussion on serum electrolyte and / or pH changes. I do not wish to ignore the importance of those changes, as they were reviewed very closely in establishing our protocol for fluid therapy. However, my goal today is to keep detailed physiological information to a minimum in order to stress the very basics of how to initiate intravenous fluid therapy. Although I recognize the importance of oral fluid therapy, this paper will not address it.

title: Utilizing ACT Daily as a Self-Guided Mobile App Intervention for Depression and Anxiety in a College Counseling Center
Creators: name: Haeger, Jack A.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2016

description: College counseling centers (CCCs) have experienced funding and staffing setbacks in recent years, resulting in higher caseloads, counselor burnout, and bloated waitlists. Mobile Health (mHealth) interventions may offer a cost-effective and innovative solution. The authors developed ACT Daily, a prototype mHealth app based in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). This study examined the feasibility and possible efficacy of ACT Daily as a brief intervention for individuals placed on CCC waitlists.
A sample of 11 depressed/anxious clients waitlisted at a local CCC enrolled in the study, which followed a pre-post, open trial design. Participants received a brief online training that covered the basics of ACT and introduced the app’s functions and features. For the following 2 weeks, participants were asked to use ACT Daily every day. Results displayed high acceptability, usability, and satisfaction ratings across users. Significant improvements were observed on most ACT process measures, including overall psychological inflexibility. Findings from app usage and self-report measures supported ACT Daily’s ability to promote skill use in the moment. Analyses of in-app data indicated that ACT Daily’s skills were potentially effective in the moment and increased in strength over time. Furthermore, ACT Daily appeared to serve as a helpful pre-therapy tool due to significant reductions in depression and anxiety symptoms, as well as improvements in emotional self-awareness. Finally, the online training appeared to equip users with a sufficient comprehension of core ACT components and app training.
While this pilot study suffered from a low sample size, this pattern of results encourages the application and dissemination of ACT mHealth apps as an added support for waitlisted CCC clients suffering from depression or anxiety. Moreover, it appears that ACT Daily may have enabled users to acquire, strengthen, and potentially generalize useful ACT skills. It is theorized that the app facilitated in-the-moment learning of skills that could then be applied directly to real-world contexts. Future research is advised to target larger, more diverse samples, implement a randomized controlled trial design, add objective behavioral and physiological measures, incorporate all six ACT processes, and integrate client feedback into future iterations of ACT Daily.

description: Planet formation is often considered in the context of one circumstellar disk around one star. Yet stellar binary systems are ubiquitous, and thus a substantial fraction of all potential planets must form and evolve in more complex, dynamical environments. We present the results of a five-year astrometric monitoring campaign studying 45 binary star systems that host Kepler planet candidates. The planet-forming environments in these systems would have literally been shaped by the binary orbits that persist to the present day. Crucially, the mutual inclinations of star-planet orbits can only be addressed by a statistical sample. We describe in detail our sample selection and Keck/NIRC2 laser guide star adaptive optics observations collected from 2012 to 2017. We measure orbital arcs, with a typical accuracy of ~0.1 mas/yr, that test whether the binary orbits tend to be aligned with the edge-on transiting planet orbits. We rule out randomly-distributed binary orbits at 4.7$σ$, and we show that low mutual inclinations are required to explain the observed orbital arcs. If the stellar orbits have a field binary-like eccentricity distribution, then the best match to our observed orbital arcs is a distribution of mutual inclinations ranging from 0-30 degrees. We discuss the implications of such widespread planet-binary alignment in the theoretical context of planet formation and circumstellar disk evolution.

title: Best Practices for Volume Flow Rate Measurements Using PIV at the Exit of a Turbulent Planar Jet
Creators: name: Cressall, Rick
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2016

description: Particle image velocimetry (PIV) is used to make volume-flow-rate measurements at the exit of a turbulent, planar nozzle. The objective of this report is to assess a range of data acquisition and processing parameters. Data is acquired for volume flow rates of Reynolds numbers between 10,000 and 100,000 for both two-component (2C) and stereo PIV. The parameters are systematically changed one at a time and evaluated using differences in uncertainty, calculation time, and volume- flow-rate deviation. Data acquisition parameters follow the trends of previous work. A multitude of processing parameters were varied for several PIV processing methods. Recommendations for each method are developed and listed with potential drawbacks. 2C PIV was found to underestimate volume-flow-rate by 3-4% depending on the integration scheme and stereo PIV underestimated volume-flow-rate by 2%.

An American Jeremiah in Rome

description: In "An American Jeremiah in Rome: A Study of Margaret Fuller's Tribune Dispatches," Paola Gemme offers a new interpretation of Fuller's account of the Roman Republic, which has traditionally been read as a defense of Italian republicanism and an indictment of American democracy. She argues instead that Fuller's critique lies within the tradition of the jeremiad, a lament on the nation's failure to live up to its original promise which reaffirms national dreams while deploring that they are not being pursued, and that as such it confirms rather than denies the United States' identity as unsurpassed republican model.

description: We present 5201 radial-velocity measurements of 1144 stars, as part of an ongoing study of the young (150 Myr) open cluster M35 (NGC 2168). We have observed M35 since 1997, using the Hydra Multi-Object Spectrograph on the WIYN 3.5m telescope. Our stellar sample covers main-sequence stars over a magnitude range of 13.0=3 measurements, we derive radial-velocity membership probabilities and identify radial-velocity variables, finding 360 cluster members, 55 of which show significant radial- velocity variability. Using these cluster members, we construct a color-magnitude diagram for our stellar sample cleaned of field star contamination. We also compare the spatial distribution of the single and binary cluster members, finding no evidence for mass segregation in our stellar sample. Accounting for measurement precision, we place an upper limit on the radial-velocity dispersion of the cluster of 0.81 +/- 0.08 km/s. After correcting for undetected binaries, we derive a true radial-velocity dispersion of 0.65 +/- 0.10 km/s.

Reproductive efficiency 4. Optimum ventilation and housing 5. Parasite control 6. Infectious disease control 7. Sick animal medicine and surgery B. Administration In order for a herd health program to be effective we believe the veterinarian should have, at least, major input and, and best, total control over all the above areas. The inter-relationships among the areas require the attention of one supervisory person for total success. C. Goal The goal of our Total Herd Health Program is very simply stated: "The most milk with the least cost per day of life." We have failed to find any of the component goals which cannot be encompassed in this overall goal. The goal of the veterinarian is to be associated with maximizing profits, not merely minimizing losses.

title: Laboratory Experiences in Mathematical Biology for Post-Secondary Mathematics Students
Creators: name: Lewis, Matthew
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2016

description: In addition to the memorization, algorithmic skills and vocabulary which is the default focus in many mathematics classrooms, professional mathematicians are expected to creatively apply known techniques, construct new mathematical approaches and communicate with and about mathematics. We propose that students can learn these professional, higher level skills through Laboratory Experiences in Mathematical Biology (LEMBs) which put students in the role of mathematics researcher creating mathematics to describe and understand biological data. LEMBs are constructed so they require no specialized equipment and can easily be run in the context of a college math class. Students collect data and develop mathematical models to explain the data. In this work examine how LEMBs are designed with the student as the primary focus. We explain how well-designed LEMBs lead students to interact with mathematics at higher levels of cognition while building mathematical skills sought after in both academia and industry. Additionally, we describe the online repository created to assist in the teaching and further development of LEMBs. Since student-centered teaching is foreign to many post-secondary instructors, we provide research-based, pedagogical strategies to ensure student success while maintaining high levels of cognition.
Implementing a behavioral modification program to prevent diabetes progression
Creators: name: Locklear, Itohan Cindy
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2025

description: Purpose of Project: This project aimed to improve diabetes prevention efforts by streamlining referrals to the Diabetic Prevention Program (DPP) in a primary care setting. The objective was to raise awareness of behavior modification measures among prediabetic patients.Method: This quality improvement project included all patients aged 18-60 years of age with A1c levels of 5.7% to 6.4% and focused on providing education regarding lifestyle modifications and facilitating the Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) referral. Participant engagement occurred via the patient schedules of primary care practices; office personnel were trained to recognize patients who might benefit from DPP services and offer informational resources related to behavior change, nutrition, exercise, sleep, and stress reduction. The engagement of the patient and effectiveness of the DPP program was assessed over a period of six weeks through surveys, medical records, and attendance sheets. The initiative included referral process training for staff, diabetes preventive education for patients, and improved communication between primary care doctors and the DPP. Results: Increased referral rates to the DPP, higher patient involvement in diabetes preventive programs, and verifiable improvements in health indicators such as weight loss and healthy lifestyle behaviors were among the anticipated benefits. Implications for Practice: The successful completion of this project has the potential to establish a sustainable paradigm for diabetes prevention in primary care settings. It may lead to faster identification of prediabetes, improved patient involvement in preventive treatments, and lower long-term healthcare expenditures associated with type 2 diabetes management.

description: Background: Mobile health (mHealth) has the potential to bring preventive healthcare within reach of populations with limited access to preventive services, by delivering personalized support at low cost. Although numerous mHealth interventions are available, very few have been developed following an evidence-based rationale or have been tested for efficacy. This article describes the systematic development of a coach-supported mHealth application to improve healthy lifestyles for the prevention of dementia and cardiovascular disease in the United Kingdom (UK) and China. Methods: Development of the Prevention of Dementia by Mobile Phone applications (PRODEMOS) platform built upon the experiences with the Healthy Aging Through Internet Counseling in the Elderly (HATICE) eHealth platform. In the conceptualization phase, experiences from the HATICE trial and needs and wishes of the PRODEMOS target population were assessed through semi-structured interviews and focus group sessions. Initial technical development of the platform was based on these findings and took place in consecutive sprint sessions. Finally, during the evaluation and adaptation phase, functionality and usability of the platform were evaluated during pilot studies in UK and China. Results: The PRODEMOS mHealth platform facilitates self-management of a healthy lifestyle by goal setting, progress monitoring, and educational materials on healthy lifestyles. Participants receive remote coaching through a chat functionality. Based on lessons learned from the HATICE study and end-users, we made the intervention easy-to-use and included features to personalize the intervention. Following the pilot studies, in which in total 77 people used the mobile application for 6 weeks, the application was made more intuitive, and we improved its functionalities. Conclusion: Early involvement of end-users in the development process and during evaluation phases improved acceptability of the mHealth intervention. The actual use and usability of the PRODEMOS intervention will be assessed during the ongoing PRODEMOS randomized controlled trial, taking a dual focus on effectiveness and implementation outcomes.
Southern Progressivism in Historical Perspective

Publisher: name: RSAJournal
Year: 2000

description: Since the pioneering essays of Arthur Link (1946) and Anne Firor Cott (1963) until the most recent interpretations (George Tindall, Dewey Grantham, William Link and others), Southern Progressivism has challenged historians and sociologists who have tried to dissect the many paradoxes of the post-Civil War years, until the 1920s. My essay focuses on some of the most important interpretations, such as the issue of continuity/discontinuity between populism and progressivism, regionalism in the Southern progressive movement, the idea of Southern Progressive leaders to create a sort of reconciliation between tradition and progress. William Link on the other hand emphasises the contradictions of a society in need of reforms, but resisting change in order to maintain old privileges. The historiographical debate is ongoing and today new books offer interesting insights on the role of women in supporting community welfare and social reforms.

description: We present a spherical version of the grand-canonical minority game (GCMG), and solve its dynamics in the stationary state. The model displays several types of transitions between multiple ergodic phases and one non-ergodic phase. We derive analytical solutions, including exact expressions for the volatility, throughout all ergodic phases, and compute the phase behaviour of the system. In contrast to conventional GCMGs, where the introduction of memory-loss precludes analytical approaches, the spherical model can be solved also when exponential discounting is taken into account. For the case of homogeneous incentives to trade epsilon and memory loss rates rho, an efficient phase is found only if rho=epsilon=0. Allowing for heterogeneous memory-loss rates we find that efficiency can be achieved as long as there is any finite fraction of agents which is not subject to memory loss.

The book exhibits typical modes and aspects of autobiographical writing, and becomes the exemplary story of a 'fostered imagination'.

Our main new result is the computation of the general mesonic operators. We prove that the generalized Konishi anomaly equations with flavors are satisfied at the non-perturbative level. This yields in particular a microscopic, first principle derivation of the matrix model disk diagram contributions that must be included in the Dijkgraaf-Vafa approach.

description: The Halpha emission of a set of southern gamma-Cas stars was monitored since 2019, with the aim of detecting transition events and examining how their peculiar X-ray emission would react in such cases. Two stars, HD119682 and V767Cen, were found to display slowly decreasing disk emissions. These decreases were not perfectly monotonic and several temporary and limited re-building events were observed. For HD119682, the emission component in Halpha disappeared in mid-July 2020. In X-rays, the X-ray flux was twice smaller than recorded two decades ago but of a similar level as observed a decade ago. The X-ray flux decreased over the campaign by 30%, but the hardness remained similar in datasets of all epochs. In particular, the gamma-Cas character remained as clear as before even when there was no trace of disk emission in the Halpha line. For V767Cen, the full disappearance of disk emission in Halpha never occurred. We followed closely a disk rebuilding event, but no significant change in flux or hardness was detected. These behaviours are compared to those of other gamma-Cas stars and their consequences on the X-ray generation are discussed.

An experimental and analytical study of tip clearance effects in axial flow compressors
Creators: name: Moyle, Ian N
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: An analytical and experimental study of the performance changes and flow effects of rotor tip clearance variation in axial flow compressors is presented. The analyses demonstrate that previously unrecognized loss characteristics and flow behavior trends can be identified in a wide range of published tests of clearance effects. The performance and flow data are correlated at constant power conditions or nondimensionally in terms of the test compressor's geometry and wall flow conditions to observe the trends. Flow field changes caused by increasing the tip seal clearance of a low speed, large scale axial compressor having a symmetric velocity diagram were examined experimentally. The measurements were made at several clearances for one rotational speed. Synchronized blade-to-blade measurements of case wall static pressure and skin friction under the rotor tip of the second stage were collected. The detailed surveys showed the tip local blade-to-blade flow pattern to be dependent on the rotor blade's position relative to the upstream stator. Preliminary case wall skin friction traces showed a similar dependence and indicated a region of stagnant flow several blade thicknesses wide exists on the case wall beside the blade suction side. The stagnant region's position corresponds with a minimum wall static pressure trough standing off the blade suction surface. The blade loading at the tip was found to alter its form depending on the passage throughflow, stator relative position and tip clearance height Detailed measurements and correlative results are presented. The detailed measurements were evaluated in the context of the flow mechanisms causing the efficiency losses, the models typically used to quantify tip clearance effects, computations of the tip local flow field and the possibilities for improved tip local blade and case wall geometry design for axial flow compressors.

description: We present the results obtained from broadband X-ray timing and spectral analysis of black hole candidate MAXI J1803-298 using an AstroSat observation on May 11-12, 2021. Four periodic absorption dips with a periodicity of $7.02 \pm 0.18$ hour are detected in the light curve. AstroSat observe the source when it was undergoing a transition from hard-intermediate state to soft-intermediate state. Our timing analysis reveals the presence of a sharp type-C quasi periodic oscillation (QPO) in the power density spectra (PDS) with an evolving QPO frequency ranging from $5.31 \pm 0.02$ Hz to $7.61\pm 0.09$ Hz. We investigate the energy dependence of the QPO and do not find this feature in the PDS above 30 keV. The combined $0.7-80$ keV SXT and LAXPC spectra are fitted with a model consisting of thermal multi-colour blackbody emission and Comptonized emission components. We perform time-resolved spectroscopy by extracting spectra during the dip and non-dip phases of the observation. A neutral absorber is detected during the dip and non-dip phases though a signature of an ionized absorber is also present in the dip phases. The spectral and temporal parameters are found to evolve during our observation. We estimate the mass function of the system as $f(M) = 2.1-7.2~M_{\odot}$ and the mass of the black hole candidate in the range of $M_{\rm BH} \sim 3.5-12.5~M_{\odot}$.

Towards the Responsible Use of Veterinary Drugs

Year: 1983

description: The citizens of this world are immersed in a chemical society, a social fabric largely held together by the intelligent use of agricultural chemicals, drugs, and other useful compounds. Paradoxically, the world order is today threatened by the irresponsible use of certain of these substances. The first step in the fact-finding process was the imposition of an import alert ordering U.S. Customs inspectors to specifically look for the unauthorized importation of veterinary drugs. The import alert confirmed our suspicions-unapproved drugs were being imported for use in various species of animals in the U.S. The second step involved an FDA survey of cattle feedlots. Twenty-five percent of surveyed feedlots stocked unapproved drugs on a routine basis including prescription compounds. A survey conducted under the aegis of USDA's Residue Avoidance Program drew the same essential conclusions. Third, diversion of prescription drugs, unapproved chemicals, drugs approved for other species, and other similar deviations as reported to BVM / FDA were increasing at an appreciable rate.

description: Strongly magnetic, rapidly rotating B-type stars with relatively weak winds form centrifugal magnetospheres (CMs), as the stellar wind becomes magnetically confined above the Kepler co-rotation radius. Approximating the magnetic field as a dipole tilted by an angle $β$ with respect to the rotation axis, the CM plasma is concentrated in clouds at and above the Kepler radius along the intersection of the rotational and magnetic equatorial planes. Stellar rotation can bring such clouds in front of the stellar disk, leading to absorption of order 0.1 magnitude ($\sim 10 \%$ of continuum flux). However some stars with prominent CMs, such as $σ$ Ori E, show an emission bump in addition to absorption dips, which has been so far unexplained. We show that emission can occur from electron scattering toward the observer when CM clouds are projected off the stellar limb. Using the Rigidly Rotating Magnetosphere model, modified with a centrifugal breakout density scaling, we present a model grid of photometric light curves spanning parameter space in observer inclination angle $i$, magnetic obliquity angle $β$, critical rotation fraction $W$, and optical depth at the Kepler radius $τ_{\text{K}}$. We show that $τ_{\text{K}}$ of order unity can produce emission bumps of the magnitude $\sim 0.05$ seen in $σ$ Ori E. We discuss the implications for modeling the light curves of CM stars, as well as future work for applying the radiative transfer model developed here to 3D MHD simulations of CMs.

Crosstalk in image plane beam combination for optical interferometers

description: Image plane beam combination in optical interferometers multiplexes the interference fringes from multiple baselines onto a single detector. The beams of starlight are arranged in a non-redundant pattern at the entrance of the combiner so that the signal from each baseline can be separated from one another in the frequency domain. If the signals from different baselines overlap in the frequency domain, this can give rise to a systematic error in the fringe measurements known as baseline crosstalk. In this paper we quantify crosstalk arising from the combination of atmospheric seeing and beam propagation over distances of order hundreds of metres. We find that in idealised conditions atmospheric wavefront errors and beam propagation do not contribute to crosstalk. However, when aperture stops are included in the optical beam train we observe that wavefront errors can result in squared visibility errors arising from crosstalk as high as $ΔV^{2} = 6.6\times10^{-3}$ under realistic observing conditions.

Profile measurements of the lines HeI 4471 and 4922 in a dense plasma
Creators: name: Nelson, Robert Howard
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Detailed measurements were made of the profiles of the lines HeI 4471 and 4922 Å in a pulsed arc plasma, for electron densities in the range 3 x l0(16) to l0(17) cm(-3) and at a temperature of 4.5 eV. Photoelectric detection was employed in a rapid scan spectrometer. The relative intensities agreed well with the computed values, but the component peaks for each line were closer together.
Women’s Education and the Flourishing of the Arts in Eighteenth-Century America
Creators: name: Ossato, Cristina
Publisher: name: RSAJournal
Year: 1999

description: This paper focuses on the debate over women's education in the eighteenth century. Articles from journals, but also treaties, pamphlets, essays, and literary books are taken into consideration in order to give the controversial, often ambiguous atmosphere of the debate. Special emphasis is given to the role of the fine arts in the development of female education: on the one hand, they represented a remedy against her vanity, and a way to express her intellectual side, on the other hand, they represented a threat to the stability of traditional domesticity.

description: We present a simultaneous periodic and aperiodic timing study of the accreting millisecond X-ray pulsar SAX J1808.4-3658. We analyze five outbursts of the source and for the first time provide a full and systematic investigation of the enigmatic phenomenon of the 1 Hz flares observed during the final stages of some of the outbursts. We show that links between pulsations and 1 Hz flares might exist, and suggest they are related with hydrodynamic disk instabilities that are triggered close to the disk-magnetosphere boundary layer when the system is entering the propeller regime.

title: Parenting Styles and Child Outcomes in Puerto Rican Families
Creators: name: Colón, Jeisianne Rosario
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2016

description: The purpose of this study was to evaluate observed parenting styles among Puerto Rican parents living in Puerto Rico. Participants included 51 families with a child between the ages of 6 and 11. Families engaged in different behavioral observational tasks. Observations were coded for parenting dimensions and family parenting styles in order to determine its relationship to child outcomes. The Parenting Styles Observation Rating Scale was used to code the observations and the Child Behavior Checklist was used to assess for behavioral problems. Overall, parents received high ratings on warmth, demandingness, and autonomy granting. Supportive demandingness was negatively associated with internalizing, externalizing, and total child problems. The majority of the sample was categorized as authoritative (68.6%), while 23.5% was categorized as “cold.” Authoritative parenting was significantly associated with lower child problems across the board in comparison to “cold” and permissive families. Limitations of the current study were considered. Lastly, the implications of the results and directions for future research in regards to Puerto Rican parenting for families living in Puerto Rico were discussed.
