description: Nationale und internationale bildungspolitische Entwicklungen sowie aktuelle fachdidaktische Erkenntnisse stellen den schulischen Fremdsprachenunterricht vor eine neue Aufgabe: Zunehmend wird eine stärkere inhaltliche, methodische und lernzielorientierte Vernetzung der einzelnen Fremdsprachenfächer und die Etablierung sprachenübergreifender Ansätze gefordert, um dadurch einen Beitrag zur Förderung von Mehrsprachigkeit bzw. lebenslangem Sprachenlernen zu leisten. Mit der Leitfrage „Same same but different?“ möchten wir das Spannungsverhältnis deutlich machen, in dem sich das Thema bewegt: zwischen Gleichmacherei einerseits und Betonung der fachlichen Differenzen andererseits. Wie eine Vernetzung des Englisch- und Spanischunterrichts in der Unterrichtspraxis konkret gestaltet werden kann, ist Gegenstand dieses Artikels. Zunächst werden Spezifika und Gemeinsamkeiten der Fächer Englisch (als 1. Fremdsprache) und Spanisch (als 2. FS) beleuchtet, um darauf aufbauend geeignete Bereiche einer sprachenübergreifenden Vernetzung vorzustellen.

description: Die vorliegende Studie untersucht die Diskrepanz zwischen mehrsprachiger Ideologie, politischer Anforderung und Lehrpraxis in Bezug auf die Mehrsprachigkeit von SchülerInnen im deutschen Klassenzimmer. In einem Vergleich zwischen offiziellen Anforderungen durch Bund und Länder und zugelassenen Lehrwerken für die 1.-10. Klasse wird deutlich, dass die Unterstützung mehrsprachiger Kompetenzen zwar erstrebt wird, jedoch noch nicht erfolgreich in die Lehrwerkpraxis eingegangen ist.

description: We propose a new methodology for selecting and ranking covariates associated with a variable of interest in a context of high-dimensional data under dependence but few observations. The methodology successively intertwines the clustering of covariates, decorrelation of covariates using Factor Latent Analysis, selection using aggregation of adapted methods and finally ranking. A simulation study shows the interest of the decorrelation inside the different clusters of covariates. We first apply our method to transcriptomic data of 37 patients with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer who have received chemotherapy, to select the transcriptomic covariates that explain the survival outcome of the treatment. Secondly, we apply our method to 79 breast tumor samples to define patient profiles for a new metastatic biomarker and associated gene network in order to personalize the treatments.

description: Mehrsprachigkeit ist ein seit dem Erstarken der Nationalsprachen in Europa in der frühen Neuzeit (u.a. Hüllen 2005: 47ff) praktiziertes Phänomen und ein seit dem ausgehenden 20. Jahrhundert insbesondere aufgrund der Forderungen des Europarats mittlerweile fest verankertes Ziel schulischer (fremd)sprachlicher Bildung. Der Definition des europäischen Referenzrahmens folgend betont Mehrsprachigkeit (plurilingualism, im Unterschied zu Vielsprachigkeit / multilingualism) die Tatsache, […] dass sich die Spracherfahrung eines Menschen in seinen kulturellen Kontexten erweitert, von der Sprache im Elternhaus über die Sprache der ganzen Gesellschaft bis zu den Sprachen anderer Völker […]. Diese Sprachen und Kulturen werden aber nicht in strikt voneinander getrennten mentalen Bereichen gespeichert, sondern bilden vielmehr gemeinsam eine kommunikative Kompetenz, zu der alle Sprachkenntnisse und Spracherfahrungen beitragen und in der die Sprachen miteinander in Beziehung stehen und interagieren (GER: Kap. 1.3).

description: The strongest absorption features with the lower-level excitation potentials $χ_{\rm low}<1$ eV are found to be split in the high-resolution optical spectra of the post-AGB star V354 Lac taken in 2007--2008. Main parameters, T$_{eff}$=5650 K, $\log g$=0.2, $ξ_t$=5.0 km/s, and the abundances of 22 chemical elements in the star's atmosphere are found. The overabundance of the $s$-process chemical elements (Ba, La, Ce, Nd) in the star's atmosphere is partly due to the splitting of strong lines of the ions of these metals. The peculiarities of the spectrum in the wavelength interval containing the LiI $λ$ 6707 Å line can be naturally explained only by taking the overabundances of the CeII and SmII heavy-metal ions into account. The best agreement with the synthetic spectrum is achieved assuming $ε$(LiI)=2.0, $ε$(CeII)=3.2, and $ε$(SmII)=2.7. The velocity field both in the atmosphere and in the circumstellar envelope of V354 Lac remained stationary throughout the last 15 years of our observations.

description: Am 22. September 2013 haben in Deutschland Wahlen zum deutschen Bundestag stattgefunden. Dabei ist eine kleine Partei, die jahrzehntelang, aber mit gelegentlich wechselnden Regierungspartnern, in der Bundesregierung und damit an der Macht war, an der sogenannten Fünfprozenthürde gescheitert und so in der kommenden Legislaturperiode nicht mehr im Parlament vertreten. Eine neue Partei, deren Programm sich im Wesentlichen darauf beschränkt, den Euro zu bekämpfen, hat auf Anhieb fast ebenso viele Stimmen wie die bisherige kleine Regierungspartei erreicht; sie ist aber ebenfalls an der Fünfprozenthürde gescheitert. Fast, aber eben nicht ganz, die absolute Mehrheit der Parlamentssitze hat die konservative „C-Union“, das C steht für „christlich“, für sich verbuchen können. Über 15 Prozent weniger Stimmen erhielt die zweitgrößte Partei in Deutschland, eine Partei, die die Bezeichnung „sozialdemokratisch“ in ihrem Namen trägt. Auf etwa jeweils die Hälfte der Stimmen dieser Partei kamen zwei weitere Parteien, zum einen eine ökologische, zum anderen eine linke Partei. Rein rechnerisch könnten die drei zuletzt genannten Parteien koalieren und eine neue Bundesregierung bilden. Sozialdemokratisch, ökologisch und links, warum nicht, müssen doch alle zu den Bundestagswahlen zugelassenen Parteien auf dem Boden des Grundgesetzes stehen und sind damit grundsätzlich untereinander koalitions- und damit regierungsfähig. Diese Parteien sind sich aber nicht grün, das heißt, sie vertrauen sich nicht. Das über die gemeinsamen Grundvorstellungen Verbindende an einer solchen linken Regierung wäre indessen die wohl angenehme Vorstellung, nicht mit der größten Partei regieren zu müssen, die es in der Vergangenheit perfekt verstanden hat, Erfolge für sich und wenig Ruhmreiches für den kleineren Koalitionspartner verbuchen zu lassen.

description: Der Beitrag untersucht anhand von drei leitfadengestützten Experteninterviews mit Englischlehrerinnen, wie Englischunterricht die Entwicklung individueller Mehrsprachigkeit („M+2“) anregen kann. Dabei werden die derzeit auf fachdidaktischer Ebene verhandelten Vorschläge zur Ausgestaltung der dem Englischunterricht zugeschriebenen Wegbereiterrolle der Sichtweise der beteiligten AkteurInnen gegenübergestellt. Über eine Rekonstruktion der Einstellungen und Erfahrungen der befragten Praktikerinnen wird ermittelt, welches Potential die Lehrerinnen dem Englischunterricht für das Lern- und Bildungsziel Mehrsprachigkeit zuschreiben. Die Ergebnisse der Untersuchung verdeutlichen, dass Mehrsprachigkeit im Englischunterricht auf der Grundlage realistischer, sich aus theoretischen und praktischen Perspektiven speisenden Zielvorstellungen implementiert werden sollte.
title: Clinician Perceptions of Media Use by Male Sex-Offending, Conduct-Disordered, and Normal Youth
Creators: name: Vogel, Melissa A.

description: Sexual offenses by youth have been increasing. The literature recognizes media as a socializer, yet few studies examine nonpornographic media and youthful sex-offending. The purpose of this research was to survey the perceptions of clinicians as to the use of media type and content for male sex-offending, conduct-disordered, and normal youth. The questionnaire was completed by 78 American clinicians from 30 states specializing in the treatment of youthful sex offenders.
Means, standard deviations, and percentages were calculated, which provided descriptive data. Male sex-offending and conduct-disordered youth are believed by clinicians to be more frequent consumers of aggressive, explicit, and sexually violent media than are normal youth. Conduct-disordered youth are seen as preferring aggressive media, while sex-offending youth are viewed as more likely to choose explicit or sexually violent media.

description: We study how the surface states in the strong topological insulator Bi$_2$Se$_3$ are influenced by finite size effects, and compare our results with those recently obtained for 2D topological insulator HgTe. We demonstrate two important distinctions: \textit{(i)} contrary to HgTe, the surface-states in Bi$_2$Se$_3$ display a remarkable robustness towards decreasing the width $L$ down to a few nm, thus ensuring that the topological surface states remain intact, and \textit{(ii)} the gapping due to the hybridization of the surface states features an oscillating exponential decay as a function of $L$ in Bi$_2$Se$_3$ in sharp contrast to HgTe. Our findings suggest that Bi$_2$Se$_3$ is suitable for nanoscale applications in quantum computing or spintronics. Also, we propose a way to experimentally detect both of the predicted effects.

title: Homework, a bridge Between Therapy and Life: Therapeutic Methodology in the Assignment of Homework and Homework Compliance
Creators: name: Elkins, Darren R.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2005

description: The aim of this research was to investigate the relationship between homework methodology and compliance. The "Clinical Perception of Homework Style and Compliance Survey" was developed to measure compliance, methodology, and relating variables. A convenience sample consisted of 121 participants in this study. Participating therapists were asked to rate the likelihood of using various examples of homework methodologies and estimate the compliance they have received over the past 3 months. The results show that items used on the survey factored into two groups, which can be called direct and collaborative. Neither of the groups (i.e., direct and collaborative) was significantly correlated with homework compliance. Further conceptualization of the collaborative methodology was proposed. Implications for future research were highlighted.

Year: 1986

description: This study is a revision of the Marital Inventories so that both self-perception and perception of other data can be collected. The revised inventory, titled the Couples Inventories, was administered to a population of 183 couples comprised mainly of university students from communities across the United States. From the collected data, principal components factor analysis with varimax rotation was used to analyze the items addressing couple communication . This study analyzed data from self-perception and perception of other, as well as including the variables of the respondent's age and gender as a test for structural equivalence. As a test of reliability Theta, a special case of Cronbach Alpha, was calculated for the identified factors.
The major findings of this study were: (a) perception of other is critical to the understanding of relationship communication; (b) structural equivalence enables researchers to identify those items that have utility for heterosexual couples at various ages; (c) openness, understanding, problem solving, and conflict management are crucial dimensions of communication; (d) openness is comprised of at least two dimensions; namely, general openness and emotional openness; and (e) understanding is unidimensional as opposed to a continuum ranging from understanding to misunderstanding.

description: The purpose of this study was to determine if therapist age and gender have a relationship with the influence tactics used by the therapist in marital therapy, and if this relationship influences the communication behaviors of couples m marital therapy. There has been much research conducted on couples' communication behaviors in therapy, yet n one of the research relates the relationship of the age and the gender of therapists with couples' communiCation behaviors in therapy. This is an exploratory study to examine this relationship.
Forty-four to-minute videotaped segments of marital therapy were coded to examine the influence tactics used by the therapists, as well as the communication behaviors of the couples in session. Results indicate that therapist age and gender do no t have a statistically significant relationship with the influence tactics used by the therapist in mutual therapy. In addition, the influence tactics that were used by therapists do not have a statistically significant relationship with the communication behaviors of the couple in marital therapy.
title: The Effect of Social Network Disapproval on Partners' Dating Relationship: The Romeo and Juliet Effect Revisited
Creators: name: Rawlins, Rebecca
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2006

description: By using online self-report data provided by 41 undergraduate students and their dating partner (N = 82), this study examined the potential curvilinear relationship between four social network sectors (own parents, own friends, partner's parents, and partner's friends) and romantic dating partners' relationship characteristics (perceptions of partner's agreeableness, love, satisfaction, commitment, and ambivalence). After controlling for the effects of age, relationship duration, and social network overlap, the hierarchical regression analyses provided little support for the Romeo and Juliet Effect, that is, the negative association between social network approval and characteristics of the dating relationship. Instead, the study mostly replicated the positive linear relationship of social network approval with various relationship characteristics reported in the literature on social network approval. A few curvilinear relationships between social network approval and characteristics emerging from the relationship with the dating partner were found, however. A curvilinear association existed between perceptions of the partners' agreeableness and perceived social network approval from own parents, own friends, and partner's parents.

description: This study was designed to assess the concurrent validity of the Family Profile II (FPII). The FPII is an instrument designed to measure 13 areas of family functioning. Matches for II of the 13 subscales of the FPII were identified from the literature. These comparison subscales were used to confirm the concurrent validity of the FPII. The sample consisted of 229 undergraduate students enrolled in summer classes at Utah State University. The factor structure of the FPII was also assessed. Four of the 13 subscales factored exactly as previously reported. Five factored with only minimal differences. The remaining four subscales were substantially different. All of the correlations between the FPII subscales and the comparison subscales were statistically significant. Five of the pairs shared 42% or more of their variance. Results indicate that the FPII has promise as an easy-to-score-and-interpret measure of the 13 aspects of family functioning it assesses.

description: A cross-cultural examination of a selected group of Indian and American adolescents was conducted to understand the influence of cultural expectations, gender, and identity on adolescents' niche-building behavior. For the purpose of the present study, adolescents' niche was limited to their bedrooms. Data were collected from 285 American adolescents of which 151 were females and 134 were males. The Indian sample consisted of 198 adolescents of whom 75 were females, 118 were males, and 5 adolescents who did not mention their gender. Participants from both cultures were from eighth and ninth grades, with an age range of 12.17 to 16.50 years. The results of the study showed that adolescents' niche-building behavior differed based on culture, gender, and identity. Indian adolescents possessed/desired a greater variety of electronic equipment, furniture, and decorative items in their bedrooms as compared to their American counterparts. Females had/desired a larger variety of items in their bedrooms as compared to males. Females had/desired more relationship items like pictures of family members and make-up accessories in their bedrooms, whereas males had/desired more instrumental items like athletic equipment or sporting goods. Interestingly, more females than males had/desired pictures of themselves that reflected "who they were." A higher percentage of diffused/avoidant adolescents had/desired items and possessions in their bedrooms as compared to achieved/moratorium or foreclosed adolescents. Achieved/moratorium as well as diffused/avoidant adolescents were more likely to have/desire computers, internet access, globes or maps in their bedrooms as compared to foreclosed adolescents who were more likely to have/desire religious items. Interaction effects showed that Indian females were mostly likely to have/desire possessions in their bedrooms followed by American females, Indian males, and American males.

description: This research project presents data on practitioner profiles and practice patterns for marriage and family therapists living in Utah. A sample of 77 clinical members and six associate members of the American Association for Marriage and family Therapy living in Utah gave descriptive facts on their demographics, training, years of experience, and specific information about their practice of marriage and family therapy. The findings indicate that marriage and family therapists in Utah are a mostly male, Caucasian, and highly educated group of practitioners compared to marriage and family therapists practicing in other states. The findings also indicate that marriage and family therapists living in Utah treat a wide range of serious mental health problems in a relatively short amount of time for a reasonable fee.

description: Die attraktive Idee der Interkomprehension, formal nicht erlernte Sprachen zu verstehen, hat vor allem innerhalb der romanischen Sprachen beeindruckende Ergebnisse in der Umsetzung gezeigt. Auch im schulischen Kontext konnten gute Resultate in den rezeptiven Kompetenzen von z.B. Spanisch- und Italienischlernenden mit guten Französischkenntnissen nachgewiesen werden. Für das Russische ist das in dieser Form leider nicht übertragbar, da die SchülerInnen maximal eine slawische Sprache in der Schule lernen. Will man dennoch zumindest Elemente der Interkomprehension auch für die slawischen Schulfremdsprachen nutzen, bleibt nur die sprachfamilienübergreifende Interkomprehension. In diesem Artikel werden Ergebnisse eines Interkomprehensionsexperiments vorgestellt, das mit 123 SchülerInnen der 8. Klasse an acht sächsischen Gymnasien durchgeführt wurde, die Russisch als dritte Fremdsprache begonnen und zum Zeitpunkt der Erhebung – wenige Wochen nach Schuljahresbeginn – gerade die kyrillische Schrift gelernt hatten.

description: The measurement of the scattering(S) matrix inside the coaxial-wire technique is an entry parameter for the calculation of the coupling impedance of an accelerating machine.In order to optimize the method of measuring S-matrices we propose, first, a mathematical technique which allows us to know in advance the most precise coefficients of this matrix for a simple and realistic case. Keeping this as reference point we then describe a measuring procedure which gave results in a very good agreement with the theory.
The effect of physical conditioning on the motor fitness and cardiovascular condition of college freshmen.
Creators: name: Scott, Harvey Alexander
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a twice-weekly thirty-minute 'physical conditioning class' in improving the Cardiovascular Condition and Motor Fitness of male college freshmen at the University of British Columbia. It was hypothesized that selected measurements of the physical fitness of the sample would be improved significantly by the programme. Fifteen subjects, selected randomly from a larger number in the conditioning class, were given a fitness test battery prior to and at the end of the eight week conditioning programme. The gains in fitness measured were evaluated in terms of statistical significance and in terms of standard scores previously established for normal young college men. A statistical comparison of the experimental group and a large sample of first year students tested in 1962 was made for the variables height, weight and motor performance. The two groups were found to be sufficiently alike to consider the experimental group as reasonably representative of male college freshmen enrolled in the Required Programme at the University. In almost all of the variables studied, approximately two-thirds of the subjects showed changes which were in the direction of increased physical fitness. All but one of the twenty-two variables used showed small mean changes in the direction of increased physical fitness although only twelve of these were statistically significant. Most of the mean gains were too small to be considered biologically or practically important. In the cardiovascular items, several subjects with relatively high scores on their first tests had lower scores when they were retested and several subjects who had relatively low scores on their first test had higher scores when they were retested. Most of the other subjects increased some of their scores slightly when they were retested but also some of their scores decreased slightly. The following conclusions were made. For improvement of Cardiovascular Condition, the training programme was too easy for the initially fit students, reasonably adequate for the initially unfit students and only slight stimulus for the majority. For improvement of Motor Fitness the training programme was not sufficient either in duration or intensity (or both) to produce practical or biologically important changes.

description: George Barr McCutcheon’s Graustark series was an American take on the “Ruritanian” genre that was immensely popular in the United States in the early twentieth century. By comparing Graustark (1901), the first novel in the series, with East of the Setting Sun (1924), the second to last Graustark novel and the first to be written after World War I, we can see how a growing consciousness of America’s relationship to Europe on the world stage shaped the fate of an imaginary jewel-box principality somewhere on the Balkan peninsula. By examining these novels in relation to Maria Todorova’s theory of “balkanism,” we can see how the Southeastern European setting allowed McCutcheon to cultivate an image of American masculinity that aligned with a post World War I vision of American influence abroad.

Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1998

description: This exploratory study focused on the use of positive, negative, and neutral enactments in couple therapy and the effectiveness of each type of enactment in immediate changes in specific communication behaviors. The sample consisted of 37 videotaped segments of the 10 minutes before and the lO minutes after an enactment. Communication behaviors were coded using the Marital Interaction Coding System-Global (MICS-G). Paired! tests were used to test the differences between pre- and post-enactment scores. Positive enactments (n = 20) were not related to positive nor negative communication behaviors. There were not enough negative enactments (n = 2) to test whether they were related to negative or positive communication behaviors. The null hypothesis that neutral enactments (n = 15) would not affect the positive nor the negative communication behaviors was supported. The lack of statistical significance may be due to the small, homogeneous sample (religion, race, and time married).

description: To date, III–V semiconductor-based tandem devices with GaInP top photoabsorbers show the highest solar-to-electricity or solar-to-fuel conversion efficiencies. In photoelectrochemical (PEC) cells, however, III–V semiconductors are sensitive, in terms of photochemical stability and, therefore, require suitable functional layers for electronic and chemical passivation. GaN films are discussed as promising options for this purpose. The band alignment between such a protection layer and the III–V semiconductor should be aligned to minimize corrosion and nonradiative interfacial recombination and to promote selective charge carrier transport. Here, we investigate the band alignment between GaN passivation layers and n-type doped GaInP(100) photoabsorbers and grew n-type GaInP(100) epitaxially by metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy on oxidized GaAs(100) substrates to mimic a realistic preparation sequence. We prepared 1–20 nm GaN films on top employing atomic layer deposition and studied the band alignment at the GaN/GaInP(100) heterointerface by X-ray and ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy. Due to the limited emission depth of photoelectrons, we determined the band alignment by a series of measurements, in which we increased the thickness of the GaN films successively. The n-GaInP(100) surfaces, prepared with a well-known phosphorus-terminated p(2 × 2)/c(4 × 2) reconstruction, show an upward surface band bending (BB) of 0.38 eV and a Fermi level pinning due to the present surface states. Upon oxidation, the surface states are partially passivated, resulting in a reduction of the BB to 0.16 eV and a valence band offset (VBO) between the GaInP(100) and the thin oxide layer of 2.01 eV. Applying Kraut’s approach, we identified a VBO of 1.90 eV and a conduction band offset of 0.44 eV between GaInP(100) with a thin oxide layer and the GaN passivation layer. We conclude that the GaN is a well-suited passivation layer for PEC cells and facilitates selective transport of photogenerated electrons.
Anthropometric, cardiovascular and motor performance characteristics of university ice hockey players

description: The purpose of this study was to describe characteristics of physique, motor fitness and cardiovascular fitness of University ice hockey players. Fourteen University of British Columbia varsity ice hockey players were given selected tests of physique, motor fitness and cardiovascular fitness. The tests were administered during the last month of the competitive season. In the physique area the subjects were characterized by extreme mesomorphy, average endomorphy, low ectomorphy, low fat measurements, had relatively long trunks, wide hips, slightly above average shoulder width and arm proportions that are mechanically suited for efficient mechanical manoeuvering of a light instrument such as a hockey stick. The motor fitness tests ranged from average to good and could not be considered excellent for a group of athletes. The cardiovascular measurements ranged from good to excellent. These results were attributed to the nature of the sport and the demanding interval-like training program which the hockey team had undergone during the season.

description: Für die deutsche Sprache sind Fügungen, also Kombinationen von mehreren Wörtern zu zusammengesetzten Wörtern, sogenannten Komposita, charakteristisch. Besonders häufig finden sich Zusammensetzungen bei Hauptwörtern, auch Gegenstandswörter, Substantive und Nomina genannt. Sind Texte durch viele Nomina und Nominalkomposita geprägt, so sprechen wir vom Nominalstil, und das ist kein Kompliment. Solche Texte gelten als wenig bis nicht lebendig und allemal als unliterarisch. Auch der Begriff Verdachtsberichterstattung steht nicht im Verdacht, ein literarischer Begriff zu sein. Er setzt sich aus drei Substantiven zusammen: die Erstattung, der Bericht, der Verdacht. Ganz spannend dabei ist, dass alle drei Wortbestandteile substantivierte Handlungen bezeichnen, gleichsam zu Sachen gewordene Tätigkeiten: jemanden verdächtigen, etwas berichten, etwas erstatten, herausgeben. Wenn Handlungen, Tätigkeiten zu Sachen - Tatsachen - werden, so erhalten sie besondere Bedeutung, sie werden berichtenswert. Der Berichtende selbst stellt sich nicht in den Vordergrund, er gibt sich sachlich, er gibt Nachricht von etwas, er erstattet Bericht über etwas. Im Zentrum steht damit die Sache, die Nachricht und der Berichtende dienen der Sache, einem Geschehen, einer Tatsache, einem Vorgang, einem Faktum, das in der Welt, in der Wirklichkeit ist. Nachricht geben, Informationen übermitteln, von Tatsachen berichten, also Bericht erstatten: so weit, so gut. Wir verstehen Berichterstattung in diesem Sinn als Tatsachenberichterstattung. Und nur bei diesem für gewöhnlich unausgesprochenen Wortverständnis stellt sich die Irritation ein, wenn das in Rede stehende Wort auftaucht: Verdachtsberichterstattung. Das macht die Irritation aus: Wenn Berichterstattung Nachrichten zu Tatsachen sind - und ein Verdacht ist ja gerade keine Tatsache, sondern eine Vermutung, eine Annahme, aber gerade kein Fakt -, dann kann Verdachtsberichterstattung eigentlich nicht sein, sie ist ein Unding, macht sich diese Art Berichterstattung doch nachgerade verdächtig, keine Berichterstattung im Grundverständnis von Tatsachenberichten und damit keine seriöse Berichterstattung zu sein.
title: Effects of Infant Massage on Aspects of the Parent-Child RElationship: An Experimental Manipulation

description: Benefits of attachment security have been demonstrated in the realm of socioemotional development. Studies have investigated some of the antecedents associated with the development of secure attachments. This study looked uniquely at the impact of touch, and more specifically, infant massage, on the development of attachment security in infants
Fifty-seven mother-infant dyads were randomly assigned to either a treatment or control group. Infants were less than 8 months of age at the time of recruitment. The treatment group received training in infant massage as well as education about infant development. The control group received similar education about infant development. Mothers completed a set of questionnaires prior to the intervention and when their infants were 12 months old. In addition, attachment security was assessed using the Attachment Q-set at the 12-month followup.
Comparisons indicated that mothers who massaged their 12-month-old infants more than one time per week had infants who were statistically significantly more securely attached than infants of mothers who massaged their infants less than once per week, and were more securely attached than infants in the control group. Underlying mechanisms of change were not detected through the questionnaires used in this study.

description: The possibility of detecting the v ̅_e burst from the collapse of a neutron star into a black hole is discussed for an existing SN neutrino detector.The expected signal has been evaluated on the basis of the model predictions on the v emission and compared with the detector background. The experimental conditions are discussed in order to maximize the signal to noise ratio.A fraction up to 10% (depending on the v energy spectrum) of the stars of our Galaxy, distributed through distances which extent up to the Galactic Center, could be observed by a 1 kt liquid scintillator detector such as the Large Volume Detector at Gran Sasso.

title: Cognitive Autonomy in Adolescence

description: This study examined the relationship between areas of cognitive autonomy and adolescent development. Differences in cognitive autonomy between age groups were analyzed. Students attending Grades 7, 9, and 11, and college students in Northern Utah participated in this study. Three hundred and ninety-six participants responded to the Cognitive Autonomy and Self-Evaluation(CASE) inventory, which examined the subcategories of evaluative thinking, voicing opinions, comparative validation, decision making, and self-assessment. Scores were compared by grade and by gender. Results showed that college students scored significantly higher in three of the five areas of cognitive autonomy. Additionally, females in both ninth grade and college scored themselves significantly higher in two areas of cognitive autonomy. Areas of academic grades, time watching television, time spent reading, and weekly computer use were also analyzed. Implications of these findings for future programs and future research are also discussed.

description: HD 65949 is a late B star with exceptionally strong Hg II at 3984[A], but it is not a typical HgMn star. The Re II spectrum is of extraordinary strength. Abundances, or upper limits are derived here for 58 elements based on a model with Teff = 13100K, and log(g) = 4.0. Even-Z elements through nickel show minor deviations from solar abundances. Anomalies among the odd-Z elements through copper are mostly small. Beyond the iron peak, a huge scatter is found. The abundance pattern of the heaviest elements resembles the N=126 r-process peak of solar material, though not in detail. We find a significant correlation of the abundance excesses with second ionization potentials for elements with Z > 30. This indicates the relevance of photospheric or near-photospheric processes. We explore a model with mass accretion of exotic material followed by the more commonly accepted differentiation by diffusion. That model leads to a number of predictions which challenge future work. Likely primary and secondary masses are near 3.3 and 1.6 M(solar), with a separation of ca. 0.25 AU. New atomic structure calculations are presented in two appendices.

title: Preschool Children's Expectations for Parental Discipline

description: Many factors influence preschool children's expectations for parental discipline. Parent characteristics such as personality, values, social class, and disciplinary methods can affect the expectations children have for parental discipline. Children's ability to understand and interpret parental messages can also influence how they will respond. All of these factors need to be taken into consideration in order for effective communication between parents and children to occur.
In this study, preschool children's expectations for parental discipline were examined by using puppets to reenact three different types of disciplinary situations: prudent, moral, and social-conventional. Children, acting as their mother, used puppets to role play six disciplinary puppet vignettes. Their responses to each vignette were then categorized. Mothers' views on child-rearing issues were also garnered by their responses to the Parental Authority Questionnaire. Forty children (20 males, 20 females), ranging in age from 4-l to 66 months. along with their mothers ili = 40). participated in the study. The children were currently attending the Child Development Laboratory at Utah State University
An analysis of variance test (child's gender [2) x child 's response to puppet vignette [3 or 4)) for each maternal PAQ subscale (permissive, authoritarian, authoritative) for each puppet vignette was performed (three subscale scores x six puppet vignettes). A statistically significant relationship between mothers' scores on the authoritative subscale and children's responses to the lighting matches vignette was revealed. The second statistically significant difference emerged between PAQ scores for mothers of boys and mothers of girls on the authoritarian sub scale for the bedtime vignette. The adjusted mean score was significantly higher for mothers of boys than for mothers of girls. Finally, a chi-square analysis was computed comparing children's responses to prudent, moral, and social-conventional vignettes. A statistically significant relationship emerged between children's responses to the prudent, moral, and social-conventional puppet vignettes. Correctional responses were used most frequently for the prudent and moral vignettes, and positive responses were used most frequently for the social-conventional vignettes.
