title: Prophets and Preference: Constructing and Maintaining a Homosexual Identity in the Mormon Church
Creators: name: Phillips, Richard D.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1993

description: This thesis is a descriptive ethnography of homosexuals and homosexuality in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, or Mormon church, The study employs the labeling perspective in sociology and uses gay Mormons to examine how an individual constructs and maintains a homosexual identity in an environment where such an orientation is stigmatized and devalued. Qualitative interviews and documentary analysis are the chief methodological tools for this study.
The contradictions between a homosexual lifestyle and Mormon theology are outlined, and a history of Mormon church policy concerning homosexual members from 1959 to the present is presented. The study finds that many homosexual Mormons have great difficulty balancing their religious beliefs and their homosexuality. These difficulties are exacerbated by several unique theological precepts of Mormonism, and by a social climate that is generally hostile or indifferent to gay people and gay rights issues. A great deal of variation between younger informants and older informants to the study was discovered with regard to the depth of these difficulties, with older informants reporting more serious problems managing their sexual preference and Mormon church membership than younger informants.
It was found that some gay Mormons choose to live celibate lives, attempt to change their sexual orientation, or marry heterosexually in order to maintain favor with the Mormon church. Others in the study strive to reform the Mormon church and seek to have gay relationships sanctioned within Mormonism.
The ramifications of these identity management strategies for the individuals employing them and for the church are analyzed. The consequences of challenging mormon ecclesiastical authority and the impact such a challenge has on the lives of gay Mormons choosing this adaptive strategy is also discussed. The future of gay rights within Mormonism as well as in American society at large is treated.

title: Culture research in foreign language teaching: Dichotomizing, stereotyping and exoticizing cultural realities?
Creators: name: Guest, Michael
Publisher: name: Universitäts- und Landesbibliothek Darmstadt
Year: 2023

description: Im vorliegenden Aufsatz untersucht der Autor eine gängige Praxis der Fremdsprachenunterrichtsforschung, sich bei Aussagen über kulturelle Aspekte des Fremdsprachenunterrichts auf Ergebnisse der allgemeinen kulturkontrastiven Forschung zu berufen. Er weist nach, dass sich viele Studien in unkritischer Weise auf teils spekulative Ergebnisse einiger weniger kulturkontrastiver Studien stützen und teils auch gänzlich unwissenschaftliche Quellen wie Sprichwörter oder essayistische Texte miteinbeziehen. Die oft reduktionistische Behandlung des Themas, die kulturelle Unterschiede essentialisiert und dichotomisiert und die Ignorierung kritischer Standpunkte tun ein Übriges dazu, dass in der kulturbezogenen Fremdsprachenunterrichtsforschung teils sehr fragwürdige Konstrukte entwickelt werden. Der Autor fordert eine differenziertere Betrachtung von Kulturen und mehr methodologisches Bewusstsein beim wissenschaftlichen Umgang mit dem schwer fassbaren Forschungsobjekt Kultur.
title: The Relative Effects of Education and Cognitive Complexity of Employment Experience on the Rate of Cognitive Decline in Elderly Women
Creators: name: Lundahl, Janet M.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2006

description: This thesis examined the life time exposure of women's employment on cognitive functioning and cognitive decline in late life.
From the Cache County Study on Memory, Health, & Aging data, a sample of 2,588 women, aged 65 and older gave retrospective occupational hi story and were screened using the Modified Mini-Mental Stale Exam at study entry and approximately 3 years later. Non-demented women were used.
Ordinary least squares regression was used cross-sectionally and longitudinally to test the association between cognitive complexity level of the longest job and baseline cognitive status, and rate of cognitive decline over approximately 3 years.
Cross-sectional analysis revealed never-employed homemakers to have cognitive status mid-range. Higher "dat a" complexity levels were significantly associated with higher cognitive status at base line net of education.
The results suggest some benefit of cognitively stimulating occupation to late-life functioning for women. Fw1her analyses with additional longitudinal cognitive testing in this population may enhance these findings.
title: "Die deutschen Lehrer reden weniger und fragen mehr ..." Zur Relevanz des Kulturfaktors im DaF-Unterricht
Creators: name: Eßer, Ruth
Publisher: name: Universitäts- und Landesbibliothek Darmstadt
Year: 2023

description: Der Begriff der 'Kultur' ist in den letzten 20 Jahren zu einem—inflationär gebrauchten—Schlüsselbegriff innerhalb des Faches Deutsch als Fremdsprache geworden. Dennoch mangelt es bis heute an einer DaF-bezogenen Kulturdefinition und -theorie ebenso wie an empirischen Untersuchungen zur Wirksamkeit des 'Kulturfaktors' in DaFUnterrichtskontexten. Dieser Beitrag verfolgt daher drei Ziele: 1. einen ersten Versuch einer DaF-bezogenen Kulturdefinition als Ausgangsposition sowohl für die Unterrichtspraxis als auch für Forschungszwecke zu unternehmen; 2. eine Beschreibung der DaF-Kontexte, in denen der Kulturfaktor—nach heutigem Kenntnisstand und Ermessen—eine Rolle zu spielen scheint, zu liefern: nämlich a) als Lerninhalt im DaF-Unterricht und b) als kulturspezifische Form des Lehrens und Lernens im DaF-Unterricht; 3. im Zuge der Beschreibung dieser beiden Relevanzbereiche erste Konsequenzen bzw. Desiderata für Unterrichtsinhalte und Lernziele für den DaF-Unterricht, für die DaFLehreraus- und -fortbildung als auch für die DaF-Forschung zu skizzieren.
The infrared spectra of crystalline calcium and sodium formates
Creators: name: Charlton, Thomas Laurie
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The infrared absorption spectra of single crystals of calcium and sodium formate have been recorded between 4OOO and 500 cm⁻¹. With the aid of polarized radiation it was possible to carry out an analysis of the spectra. Factor group splitting was observed for the molecular modes of calcium formate. It was possible to assign the origin of the components of any given molecular fundamental to one of the two sets of symmetrically non-equivalent formate ions in the Calcium formate unit cell. This assignment was made on the basis of the relative Intensities of the components of the fundamentals. For the sodium formate single crystal spectrum, a combination of factor group and site group analysis was required to satisfactorily interpret the results. The results obtained in this case helped to resolve the controversy surrounding the assignment of the √₂ and √₅ molecular modes for the formate ion. Lattice mode frequencies of 36, 61, 90, 128, 154 and 192 cm⁻¹ for calcium formate and 58, 91, 112, 128 and 231 cm⁻¹ for sodium formate are inferred from combinations with molecular modes. The analysis was completed by the assignment of several modes to formate ion fundamentals and to combination and overtone modes of molecular fundamentals.

description: Zu den zentralen Themen des aktuellen Globalisierungsdiskurses zählt die Kontroverse, ob grenzüberschreitende Vernetzungsdynamiken in der Lage sind, nationalstaatlich geprägte Identitätsräume aufzubrechen und die Legitimität des Nationalstaates in Frage zu stellen, oder ob sie nicht vielmehr in umgekehrter Weise wirken und zu einer Stärkung nationaler Identitäten als "Fluchträume" beitragen. Träfe ersteres zu, müsste dies logischerweise mit einem sukzessiven brüchig Werden von Nationalstereotypen einhergehen. Diese These soll im Rahmen einer internationalen Langzeituntersuchung zum Deutschlandbild ausländischer Studierender verfolgt werden. Dargestellt werden die Ergebnisse der ersten Befragung, die im Frühsommer 2005 unter Studierenden in 21 Ländern durchgeführt worden ist.
title: Defining Predatory Mortgage Lending in Utah: A Professional's Perspective
Creators: name: Erickson, Luke V.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2006

description: The purpose of this study was to define and describe the nature of predatory mortgage lending in the state of Utah . Twelve professionals from the state who work in the mortgage lending market participated. Data consisted of interviewee comments and were analyzed qualitatively using a multi-step method of coding for concepts and themes.
Through coding and analysis it was determined that the term predatory mortgage lend ing is defined as an act of abuse that is targeted towards a borrower with one or more vulnerable characteristics. It was al so found that users of this term do not always adhere to this strict definition, but rather use it as a catch-all term for any general mortgage abuse, rather than only for those that are targeted. The term is al so used when referring to instances of fraud, and nearly all other forms of unfair lending.
To help increase the measurability of predatory lending, the interviews also gave descriptive detail in terms of its magnitude, underlying factors, commonly occurring practices, victim characteristics, impacts, and suggestions for reduction. Suggestions for reduction of predatory lending include increasing accountability of actors, both legally and by the industry itself bridging state and national jurisdictional gaps, and increasing fun ding for consumer education and neighborhood revitalization. Education was especially emphasized as a tool for preventing occurrences of predatory mortgage lending. not only in the form of pre-homebuyer education but especially in the form of financial education as a requirement in the public school s, beginning at a very young age.

description: Ein Jahrzehnt neue Rechtschreibung. Ein denkwürdiges kleines Jubiläum, aber gibt es etwas zu feiern? Der Reihe nach und zur Erinnerung: Mitte der neunziger Jahre des vergangenen Jahrhunderts hat die Politik eine neue deutsche Rechtschreibung verordnet. Bereits ein, zwei Jahre vor ihrem Inkrafttreten am 01.08.1996 stand sie in den Schulbüchern - in Lesebüchern in vollem Kontrast zu den literarischen Texten, die zu fast 100 Prozent in alter Rechtschreibung gedruckt werden mußten, weil die Schriftsteller einer Umstellung ihrer Texte nicht zustimmten. Schüler wurden schon nach den neuen Regeln unterrichtet, in Klassenarbeiten bzw. Schulaufgaben wurde die neue Schreibung eingefordert, alte Schreibweisen aber nur als überholt und nicht als Fehler markiert. Verlage versprachen sich von rascher Umstellung ihrer Werke Wettbewerbsvorteile, Kultusministerien ließen nurmehr Werke zu, die die neuen Regeln umsetzten, auf den Schulbüchern erschienen Aufkleber mit dem Hinweis auf die neue Schreibweise: Schon in neuer Rechtschreibung, NR ok!, NR mit Häkchen. Bald stellte sich heraus, daß die Aufkleber keineswegs als Gütesiegel wirkten, obwohl mancher sich das erhofft hatte. Als sich im Herbst 1995 einzelne Kultusminister höchstpersönlich mit einigen Details der Reform auseinandersetzten, kam es zur ersten Revision noch vor Inkrafttreten der Reform. Hatten die Reformer zuvor für eine konsequente Kleinschreibung von Adjektiven mit dem Argument votiert, der Eigenschaftscharakter verlange die Kleinschreibung, so mußten sie angesichts feststehender Begriffe wie etwa Heiliger Vater erstmals zurückrudern.

description: Ein weites Feld—das Interesse am Kennenlernen und Verstehen der eigenen oder einer fremden Kultur führt sehr schnell über diese hinaus zum Anderen, zum Eigenen, zu weiteren Kulturen und einer Vielzahl von Wechselbeziehungen zwischen Kulturen. Was liegt dem Erkenntnisinteresse da näher, als Vergleiche zwischen Kulturen anzustellen? Jeder Mensch vergleicht im Rahmen seiner alltäglichen Weltorientierung intuitiv, macht sich seinen Reim auf Gesehenes, Gesprochenes und Erlebtes. Heraus kommen dabei oft vorläufige Erkenntnis, Vorurteile, Klischees und Stereotypen so wie, in Verbindung damit, immer wieder standardisiertes, aber auch modifiziertes alltägliches Handeln. Gesicherte Erkenntnis hingegen ist vom wissenschaftlichen Vergleichen zu erwarten, handelt es sich nun um vergleichende Sprach-, Literatur-, Kultur-, Geschichts-, Politik-, Rechtswissenschaft(en) oder andere vergleichende Wissenschaften. Von diesen wiederum profitiert ein zeitgemäßer, wissenschaftsbasierter Fremdsprachenunterricht, ganz speziell naturgemäß der als Landeskunde verstandene Anteil.

title: The development and Writing of a Children's Story to Promote an Awareness of Deaf Culture and American Sign Language
Creators: name: Taylor, Blaine J.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1993

description: Many advocates of the deaf fear that a whole generation of deaf children will be lost emotionally. socially. and educationally. This fear stems from the fact that many children who are deaf are not having their linguistic. sociocultural. and communicative needs met at home or at school (King, 1993). Their needs are not met primarily for three reasons. First. the hearing culture is often inaccessible to them because they do not understand most of the spoken language around them. When children lack the communicative abilities to interact with the hearing culture. they can not be expected to be knowledgeable of that culture, to participate in that culture. or to establish an identity as a part of that culture. Secondly. Deaf culture is unknown to many children who are deaf. Ninety percent of children who are deaf are born into hearing families who are unaware of Deaf culture (Moores . 1987). Most children who are deaf and hard of hearing do not know about Deaf culture until they become involved in it through a residential school for the deaf or the Deaf community (Padden & Humphries, 1988). Thirdly, Deaf culture, history, heritage, and American Sign Language are not taught as part of the curriculum in most schools nor in the mainstreamed or self-contained classrooms (Gannon, 1990).

Vor allem gelegentlich der Tempora, die zu den komplexesten Lerngegenständen im Bereich Deutsch als Fremdsprache gehören, stoßen Lernende häufig auf Konstruktionen, die im Unterricht und Lernmaterial dann zureichende Erklärung finden. Aber gerade die Verwendungen der Vergangenheitstempora kann nicht als idiosynkratis che Randerscheinungen klassifiziert, sondern muss systematisch erklärt werden, soll der Unterricht zu Fortschritten führen.

description: Knowledge of a species’ distribution is important for developing effective conservation programs. In Pakistan, little is known about the status or distribution of most carnivores coexisting in the same landscape. To address this knowledge gap, we studied distribution patterns of coexisting carnivores in Margalla Hills National Park, using both conventional as well as DNA-identified scats, and other signs. Although scat surveys remain a popular approach to study carnivores, scat identification based on morphology alone is error-prone. As part of our study, we therefore evaluated accuracy of morphological identification of scats using genetic techniques. Field surveys were conducted from September 2015 to December 2018. Using 593 direct (sighting, camera trapping, road kills) and indirect (scats, footprints) field signs, we detected total 11 carnivore species in the park, including 10 that were represented in the subset of 248 (47.7%) scats identified from DNA. The molecular analyses confirmed that the misidentification rate was highest for red fox (Vulpes vulpes) (8.47%), followed by Asiatic jackal (Canis aureus) (7.66%), but least for small Indian civet (Viverricula indica) (3.63%). For investigating habitat association of carnivores, and to test for the associations between species presence and Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), we compared the mean and standard deviation of NDVI of each species’ presence locations with the mean and standard deviation of NDVI along the 23 sampling transects. Based on DNA-verified and all scats, carnivore species showed a range of mean NDVI, suggesting, preliminarily, some species may utilize a greater diversity of habitat types than others.

An electron spin resonance study of nitrogen heterocyclic anions and ion pairs
Creators: name: Paulus, Kurt Friedrich Gerhard
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The purpose of this investigation has been to make a comparison of the experimental and theoretically calculated electron spin resonance spectra of nitrogen heterocyclic radical ions. Because of the recent nature of the field, and because of recent advances in theoretical aspects, the theory of ESR and of the calculation of spin density distributions is reviewed in some detail in Chapter I. In Chapter III the ESR spectra of methyl substituted pyrazine and pyridine anions prepared by chemical reduction with alkali metals are described. Huckel and McLachlan calculations have been performed using various theoretical models and it has been found that presently used simple theories of spin density distributions give a reasonably good explanation of the ESR spectra of these aromatic radical ions. The modified ESR spectra of the ion-pairs of methyl substituted pyrazine, pyridine, and benzene anions with alkali metal cations are examined in Chapter IV. Factors influencing the stability of the ion-pairs are discussed and the theory of alkali metal hyperfine interaction is considered in some detail. It is found likely that in future work attention will have to be directed at the estimation of the energy of excitation from the anion to the cation. Finally, the ESR spectra of some aromatic heterocyclic N-oxide anions generated electrolytically are examined in Chapter V and the results of Huckel and McLachlan calculations of the spin density distributions in the ions are discussed. Because of the perturbed nature of the molecules agreement with the experimental distributions is found to be not quite as satisfactory as with the pyrazine anions. The mechanism of the nitrogen hyperfine interaction in N-oxide anions is investigated and it is suggested that this interaction is overwhelmingly due to the spin density on the nitrogen itself. This last aspect of the ESR spectra of N-oxide anions awaits more complete experimental confirmation.

description: Es mag auf den ersten Blick etwas seltsam anmuten, ein so offensichtlich der Soziologie zuzurechnendes Buch wie das vorliegende in einer Zeitschrift zu besprechen, die sich doch eher mit Fr agen des Lernens und Lehrens von Fremdsprachen beschäftigt. Inwiefern, so fragt man sich vielleicht, ist ein solches Buch für die Fremdsprachenwissenschaften überhaupt relevant? Dazu mag eingangs vielleicht der Hinweis auf die auch in den Fremdsprachenwissenschaften seit einiger Zeit immer deutlicher werdende Notwendigkeit genügen, sich auf einem reflektierteren Niveau mit den Problemen von Kommunikation und Kultur auseinander zu setzen, als dies derzeit noch geschieht. Insbesondere brauchen wir Konzepte, die über die in den Fremdsprachenwissenschaften bis heute üblichen und gängigen Formeln von ‚interkultureller Kommunikation’ und ‚interkulturellen Missverständnissen’ hinausführen und im Hinblick auf die internationale und interdisziplinäre Diskussion in den Gesellschaftswissenschaften anschlussfähig sind. Die Etablierung einer eigenen kulturwissenschaftlichen Forschungstradition innerhalb der Fremdsprachenwissenschaften wird auf Dauer nur gelingen, wenn wir die theoretischen und forschungsmethodischen Konzepte und die Forschungsresultate, die an anderer Ste lle zu vergleichbaren Problemen und Fragestellungen entwickelt und vorgelegt werden, zur Kenntnis nehmen und produktiv verwenden. Zu den sozialwissenschaftlichen Forschungstraditionen, die für die Kulturwissenschaft innerhalb der Fremdsprachenwissenschaften interessante neue Perspektiven versprechen, gehören unter anderem auch die Wissenssoziologie, die Diskurstheorie sowie die diese beiden Ansätze miteinander verbindende wissenssoziologische Diskursanalyse, die Gegenstand des vorliegenden Buches ist.

title: The Role of Multifamily Real Estate Investments in Retirement Planning
Creators: name: Fernandez, Miguel A.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2006

description: By using data from the 1995 Property Owners and Managers Survey (POMS), this study explores the role of owner characteristics (socioeconomic and behavioral) and ownership characteristics in predicting the likelihood of using multifamily property for retirement purposes. In addition, this study examines the likelihood of reporting a profit in the prior year among those who purchase multifamily properties for retirement purposes. The sample consists of property owners who own multifamily real estate other than their primary residence (N = I ,3 19). Property owners with retirement savings motive (RSM) were more likely to be male, White, have income more than $100,000, own more than 30 units, and be located in the Midwest. Property owners who reported a profit in the prior year were more likely to be male, White, own property more than 10 years, own 30 or more units, and be located in the Midwest.
The results of logistic regression analysis indicate that gender, income, the amount of time contributed to maintenance by the owner, owner living at the property, individual ownership, and the number of units in the property were significantly related to the likelihood of owning real estate for retirement purposes. Being older, White, having higher income, contributing to maintenance, being an individual owner, owning the property for more than 10 years, and owning more than live units were significantly related to the likelihood of reporting a profit in the prior year.
By identifying who is purchasing multifamily properties for retirement purposes and their likelihood of success, educators, researchers, financial planners, and economists can gain a better understanding of the multifamily housing market. Individual investors, financial planners, lenders, and researchers can utilize this information to expand, develop, or reline models that measure the quality of a financial deal (i.e., the probability of making a profit and/or risk of default).

Creators: name: Strong, William Eric
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1990

description: This review of the literature was in investigation of informal measures used to assess syntax in normal-language and language-impaired, school-aged children. From the eighteen studies that were researched in this review of the literature, 86 measures and their variants were reviewed. Data concerning the T-unit, the most widely used measure for determining syntactic maturity was reviewed as well. Any findings uncovered regarding the syntactic skills of normal - language and/or language-impaired, school - aged children were summarized (typically on the basis of ability level, age or grade level, and sex). In addition, the strengths and weaknesses in previous studies of oral syntactic maturity in either normal-language or language - impaired, school- aged children was discussed. This was done by systematically reviewing indicators of study quality.
Next generation long baseline experiments on the path to leptonic

Year: 2003

description: In this paper we quantify the trade-off between setups optimized to be ancillary to Phase II Superbeams or Neutrino Factories and experiments tuned for maximal sensitivity to the subdominant terms of the neutrino transition probability at the atmospheric scale (``maximum discovery potential''). In particular, the theta(13) sensitivity is computed for both Phase I superbeams (JHF-SK and NuMI Off-Axis) and next generation long baseline experiments (ICARUS, OPERA and MINOS). It is shown that Phase I experiments cannot reach a sensitivity able to ground (or discourage in a definitive manner) the building of Phase II projects and that, in case of null result and without a dedicated antineutrino run, this capability is almost saturated by high energy beams like CNGS, especially for high values of the ratio Delta m2_{21}/Delta m2_{31}.

description: The method developed for the calculation of the West Area Neutrino Beam used by NOMAD at the CERN SPS for the υ_μ -> υ_τ and $ υ_μ ->υ_e oscillation searches is described. The calculation is based on particle production computed using a recent version of FLUKA suitably tuned to SPY and NA20 results on hadron production. The neutrino fluxes were predicted with an uncertainty of about 8% for υ_μ and υ_e, 10% for v ̅_μ, and  12% for v ̅_e. The energy-dependent uncertainty achieved on the v_e v_μ ratio ranged from 4 to 7% whereas its  normalization uncertainty was 4.2%.

Demographic and mortgage variables were used to create the profile of clientele and examine the utilization of services. Specific variables key to the study included: loan type, time of delinquency when clients sought counseling, how clients were referred to the FLC HFC, and the point in counseling when an outcome was achieved (keeping the home or losing the home to foreclosure). The sample consisted of all closed mortgage default cases at the FLC HFC (N = 213) and covered the years between July 1999 and September 2004. Descriptive statistics were used to create a profile of clients and survival analysis was used to examine the utilization of services.
Clientele were on average 36 years old, married, had 2.3 dependents, and were Caucasian. The majority of clientele had no savings, was behind on other debt, reported a reduction in income or job Joss as the cause of default, and sought counseling early on in the delinquency. Clients reaching an outcome of counseling in one to four appointments were statistically significantly different than those reaching an outcome in five or more appointments.
Tn the context of survival analysis, clients were divided into three groups: survival (positive outcome of counseling), foreclosure/bankruptcy (negative outcome of counseling), or lost-to-follow up. The findings indicate that clientele with government loans use the services more than clientele with conventional loans. Among the clientele who kept their home, there were no statistically significant differences by Joan type. The FLC HFC can use this information to better tailor the services offered to mortgage default clientele.

description: Biferrocenyi, C₅H₅,Fe,C₅H₄. C₅H₄ .Fe.C₅H₅., crystallises in the monoclinic system with a = 10.35, b = 7.87, c = 12,63Å and β = 131.72˚. The space group is P2₁/c and there are two molecules per unit cell, thus a molecular centre of symmetry is required which occurs at the mid-point of the carbon-carbon bond joining the ferrocene derivatives hence the molecular configuration is trans. The intensities of 1,111 reflections were measured by means of a scintillation counter using Mo K∝ radiation. The structure determination was based on heavy atom Patterson and Fourier methods and refined by least squares and differential syntheses. The final discrepancy, R, for the 896 observed reflections is 0.16. Each iron atom is sandwiched between two five-membered rings which are planar, almost parallel and 3.32Å apart. Their relative conformations are approximately midway between the staggered and the eclipsed. The two bonded rings are coplanar, the bond between the two being 1.48Å long. The mean bond lengths are Fe - C = 2.04 Åand C – C in the rings 1.40Å However there are deviations from five-fold symmetry in the rings which may be significant, furthermore these deviations are the same in both crystallographically independent rings, are similar to those found in ferrocene and may be related to the iron-carbon bonding pattern. All intermolecular contacts correspond to normal van der Waals interactions.

description: In this note we discuss in general how to test the implementation code of statistical tests, and then we treat in detail the case of the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. It will be shown that some 'obvious' expected properties, like the flatness distributions of p-values from repeating drawings from the same parent distribution, are not indeed reproduced even in absence of bugs in the code, due to either asymptotic approximations in the formulas used to compute the p-value, or to the discreteness of the distance distribution in the case of direct Monte Carlo evaluation of the p-value. This makes the code-testing more  complicated. Some practical advice is presented anyhow.
title: Training Seminars for Regular Education Teachers: Preparing to Teach Students who are Deaf in the Hearing Classroom

description: "Increased numbers of children who bear the medical label 'deaf' or 'hard of hearing' are being integrated today into regular classes with their hearing peers in preschool, elementary and secondary schools of the United States" (Northcott, 1980, p. 1). Luckner (1992) related that approximately 79% of deaf and hard of hearing students have been served in mainstream settings. Regular education teachers were being asked to educate students who are deaf and hard of hearing with those who have no hearing difficulty.
Deaf students who are mainstreamed may find difficulty fitting in if regular education teachers do not know how to help them. Finn (1989) studied drop-out rates and developed a "participation identification model" to explain the causes of dropping out. His study concluded that students need to feel a part of the school early in their education in order to actively participate in the schooling process. A participation-identification model "when applied to deaf students in local public school programs would suggest that early negative encounters with unrewarding communication situations would decrease a sense of identification with school already stressed by an inability to communicate with the environment" (Kluwin & Kelly, 1992, p. 295). Since identification is so important, regular education teachers need to receive specialized training in teaching children with hearing losses in order for the deaf student to have the opportunity to feel like he/she is a part of the school.

Study of a Pure Object Programming Language for Reliable System Development

description: In nuclear physics the use of object oriented programming languages is continuously growing. Object programming is used in the development of data analysis frameworks such as ROOT from CERN and the SMI++ one used by DELPHI experiment. The object programming languages allow a rapid and flexible development of the data analysis software and acquisition control code, and a reduction of development and maintenance costs, because each system is viewed as a collection of objects. However the use of object oriented programming in the development of dependable systems introduces the reliability problem. To solve this problem a Pure Object Language Core (POLC) has been studied, based on the formal theory of the objects. In the present work this study is discussed. An example of application based on an optimum digital filter for gamma high resolution spectroscopy is presented.
title: The Relation Between Religiosity and Late-Life Depression in a Community Sample of Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints

description: A secondary analysis of extant data from The Cache County Study on Memory Health and Aging (CCSMHA), this study examines the association between religiosity and new-onset depression between baseline and 4-year follow-up interviews in a sample of 1,439 community-dwelling elderly members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS), aged 65 to I 00. Logistic regression models found that church attendance, voluntarism in religious groups, and direct experiences of God occurring more often than weekly were (statistically and practically) significantly associated with lower depression risk. No evidence was found for moderator effects of gender or prior depression history; however, there was some evidence of a mediator effect of social network on the religiosity/depression association. These findings are consistent with similar studies but represent the first such study in an elderly LDS population. Future directions include determining whether individual religious behaviors moderate the effect of stressful life events in this population.

description: Die weltweiten Globalisierungstendenzen und der rasante technologische Fortschritt zwingen fast alle Länder der Welt, sich mit Fragen der Mehrsprachigkeit auseinanderzusetzen. Unangefochten ist Englisch die Sprache der überregional-internationalen und der geradezu raumlosen wissenschaften Kommunikation. Zum Englischen gibt es es für diese Funktionen auf lange Sicht keine realistische Alternative, etwa das Esperanto. Das bedeutet aber nicht, dass Englisch die einzige - oder auch die erste - Fremdsprache sein muss, die im öffentlichen Schulsystem gelehrt wird. Für Deutsch als Fremdsprache ergibt sich daraus, dass es zumeist als zweite Fremdsprache gelernt wird - in der Regel nach Englisch. Das Leben in einer multikulturellen und multilingualen Gesellschaft, wie es heute überall realisiert wird, erfordert die gleichzeitige Beherrschung mehrerer Fremdsprachen. Um dem Rechnung zu tragen, muss die Sprachenpolitik der einzelnen Staaten "Diversifizierungen" aufzeigen (vgl. Christ 1996, S.186). Gemeint ist, dass nicht nur eine Fremdsprache für alle angeboten werden soll, sondern dass mehrere Fremdsprachen zur Wahl gestellt werden sollten, damit Kenntnisse in möglichst vielen - möglichst in allen für die Gesellschaft relevanten - Sprachen vermittelt werden.

title: Multiple Mentors and Family Involvement in Mentoring At-Risk Youth
Creators: name: Woodbury, Christine W.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2004

description: This study examined whether higher family involvement plus additional mentoring relationships had a greater positive effect than a one-on-one relationship with a mentor and low family involvement. The study demonstrated, in this sample, that having two mentors does not have a greater impact on academic motivation, social competency, family unity, self-esteem, and deviance than having one mentor. It was also shown, in this sample, that higher family involvement does not have a greater impact on academic motivation, social competency, family unity, self-esteem, and deviance than lower family involvement. Although additional studies are needed to fully understand the impacts of mentoring and family involvement, this study suggests that the multiple components of two mentors and increased family involvement do not have a greater impact on at-risk youth than a traditional mentoring program utilizing only one-on-one mentoring. The information from this study could prove useful in designing comprehensive support programs for families of at-risk children.
