title: Developmental Stages of Preschool Teachers in Selected Arab Gulf Countries
Creators: name: Mounla, Najwa
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1996

description: The current study focused on examining the developmental stages of preschool teachers in the Arab Gulf region. Specifically, the needs and concerns of teachers were investigated using a pretest/posttest (12-month interval) design. Participants included two groups of preschool teachers, trained (n= 35) and untrained (n=122)
Contrary to expectations, the sequential nature of development stages of teachers did not emerge. Instead, the results showed that teachers become less concerned about teaching as they progress in their careers.
When data from the present study were factor-analyzed they yielded only two areas of concerns that seemed applicable cross-cultrally. When data were subjected to analysis of variance, results revealed that training had a significant main effect on teaching concerns while teaching experience did not. Further exploration of the category experience showed that, for Factor II, the trained group of teachers had a larger drop in their level of teaching concerns than the untrained group. This was especially evident with two subgroups, low (1 to 3) years of teaching experience and high (8 to 16) years of teaching experience. The trained group with medium (4 to 7) years of teaching experience maintained a consistently low score on both pretest and posttest. Teaching experience for Factor II appears to have a main effect in reducing the level of concerns of teachers over their teaching. This was especially evident between pretest and posttest for the low-and high-experience trained teachers.

description: We report preparation, x-ray diffraction, magnetic susceptibility chi(T) and heat capacity Cp(T) measurements on the undoped samples as also samples with Zn-doped (S = 0) at Cu site, Ni doped (S = 1) at Cu site, and Ca-doped (holes) at Bi site in the coupled two-leg spin ladder system BiCu2PO6. While, Zn shows complete solid solubility, Ni could be doped to about 20% and Ca to about 15%. Magnetization and heat capacity data in the undoped compound point towards the existence of frustration effects. In all the samples, the chi(T) at low temperature increases with doping content. The Zn-induced susceptibility is smaller than that due to effective S=1/2 moments possibly due to frustrating next-nearest-neighbor interactions along the leg. For Zn content x > 0.01, chi(T) deviates from the Curie-law at low temperatures. The magnetic specific heat data Cm(T) for the Zn-doped samples show weak anomalies at low temperature in agreement with chi(T) behavior. The anomalies are suggestive of spin freezing at low-T. In contrast, prominent effects are observed in chi(T) and Cm(T) on Ni-doped samples. The zero-field-cooled (ZFC) and field-cooled (FC) chi(T) data are different from each other at low temperature unlike that for Zn doped samples, clearly indicating a transition to a spin-glass like phase. No anomalies were found in Ca- or Pb-doped samples.

description: Man sieht nur mit dem Herzen gut. Das Wesentliche ist für die Augen unsichtbar - sagt der Fuchs zum kleinen Prinzen, sagte Antoine de Saint-Exupéry der Welt 1943, mitten im Zweiten Weltkrieg in seinem Werk Der kleine Prinz. Etwa ein Jahr später, am 31. Juli 1944, startet der Pilot Saint-Exupéry in einer zweimotorigen Maschine (Lightning P-38) von Korsika aus mit Ziel Lyon. Dort kommt er nicht an, ein Offizier schreibt dazu folgenden lapidaren Vermerk: Pilot did not return and is presumed lost. Opfer eines Luftangriffs, Absturz nach Kollision mit einem anderen Flugzeug, Selbstmord? An Spekulationen fehlt es nicht, aber die Aufklärung der Umstände des Todes dieses Schriftstellers, der in den Herzen von Millionen Menschen weiterlebt, gestaltet sich schwierig. Phasenweise wird sie für aussichtslos gehalten. Neue Hoffnung keimt auf, als 1998 ein Fischer im Meer bei Marseille ein silbernes Armband mit Saint-Exupérys Namenszug in seinem Netz findet. Fortan konzentriert sich die Suche auf den Küstenbereich bei Marseille. 1990 entdeckt der Meeresarchäologe Luc Vanrell bei einem Tauchgang in 80 Metern Tiefe in der Nähe der südlich von Marseille gelegenen Insel Riou die Überreste eines Flugzeuges - es ist Saint-Exupérys Maschine, wie sich herausstellt. Der Fund seines Flugzeuges klärt noch nicht das Rätsel um den Tod des Schriftstellers. Der Fund ist aber eine Spur, die zu einer weiteren Spur führt ...

description: Die Beiträge des vorliegenden Sammelbandes spiegeln Ergebnisse der 35. Jahrestagung der Gesellschaft für Angewandte Linguistik wider, die im September 2004 in Wuppertal stattgefunden hat. Dem „breiten“ Verständnis (7) der Forschungslinien Angewandter Linguistik treu bleibend umreißen die beiden Hauptvorträge der Tagung das Thema ‚Mehrsprachigkeit’ zum einen aus sprachenpolitischer und zum anderen aus spracherwerbstheoretischer Sicht. Theo van Els wendet sich der immer wieder neu diskutierten Frage zu, wie das Sprachenproblem der Europäischen Union, gerade nach der Aufnahme neuer Mitgliedsstaaten 2004 (und 2007) gelöst werden könne. Nach Einblicken in den Status quo plädiert er dafür, „alle Mythen, die namentlich der Mehrsprachigkeit anhaften, [...] zu bekämpfen“ (29) und stattdessen einen auf empirischen Befunden beruhenden Pragmatismus bei der Wahl domänenspezifischer Arbeitssprachen (vgl. 24) zu unterstützen.

description: The origin of electromagnon excitations in cycloidal \textit{R}MnO$_3$ is explained in terms of the Heisenberg coupling between spins despite the fact that the static polarization arises from the much weaker Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya (DM) exchange interaction. We present a model that incorporates structural characteristics of this family of manganites that is confirmed by far infrared transmission data as a function of temperature and magnetic field and inelastic neutron scattering results. A deep connection is found between the magnetoelectric dynamics of the spiral phase and the static magnetoelectric coupling in the collinear E-phase of this family of manganites.

Forward-backward multiplicity correlations in the wounded nucleon model

description: The forward-backward multiplicity correlation strength is calculated for arbitrary nucleus-nucleus collision in the framework of the wounded nucleon model. Discussion of our results in the context of the recent STAR data in Au+Au collisions at sqrt{s}=200 GeV is presented. It is suggested that the observed (i) growth of the correlation coefficient with centrality and (ii) approximately flat pseudorapidity dependence of the correlation strength for central collisions are due to the fluctuations of the number of wounded nucleons at a given centrality bin.

On the influence of non-thermal pressure on the mass determination of galaxy clusters

description: (Abridged) The main purpose of this paper is to consider the contribution of all three non-thermal components to total mass measurements of galaxy clusters: cosmic rays, turbulence and magnetic pressures. To estimate the thermal pressure we used public XMM-\textit{Newton} archival data of 5 Abell clusters. To describe the magnetic pressure, we assume a radial distribution for the magnetic field, $B(r) \propto ρ_{g}^α$, to seek generality we assume $α$ within the range of 0.5 to 0.9, as indicated by observations and numerical simulations. For the turbulent component, we assumed an isotropic pressure, $P_{\rm turb} = {1/3}ρ_{\rm g}(σ_{r}^{2}+σ_{t}^{2})$. We also consider the contribution of cosmic ray pressure, $P_{cr}\propto r^{-0.5}$. It follows that a consistent description for the non-thermal component could yield variation in mass estimates that vary from 10% up to $\sim$30%. We verified that in the inner parts of cool-core clusters the cosmic ray component is comparable to the magnetic pressure, while in non cool-core cluster the cosmic ray component is dominant. For cool-core clusters the magnetic pressure is the dominant component, contributing with more than 50% of total mass variation due to non-thermal pressure components. However, for non cool-core clusters, the major influence comes from the cosmic ray pressure that accounts with more than 80% of total mass variation due to non-thermal pressure effects. For our sample, the maximum influence of the turbulent component to total mass variation can be almost 20%. We show that this analysis can be regarded as a starting point for a more detailed and refined exploration of the influence of non-thermal pressure in the intra-cluster medium (ICM).

description: We consider a free real vector field propagating in a five dimensional flat space with its fifth dimension compactified either on a strip or on a circle and perform a Kalaza Klein reduction which breaks SO(4,1) invariance while reserving SO(3,1) invariance. Taking into account the Lorenz gauge condition, we obtain from the most general hermiticity conditions for the relevant operators all the allowed boundary conditions which have to be imposed on the fields in the extra-dimension. The physical Kaluza-Klein mass towers, which result in a four-dimensional brane, are determined in the different distinct allowed cases. They depend on the bulk mass, on the parameters of the boundary conditions and on the extra parameter present in the Lagrangian. In general, they involve vector states together with accompanying scalar states.

title: Perceived Children's Characteristics and Other Factors Relating to Parents' Psychological Well-Being in Midlife
Creators: name: Stogner, Catherine D.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1996

description: This research examined child-parent relationships from the perspective of the psychological well-being of parents during midlife and while launching children. A subsample of 1,253 parents from the National Survey of Families and Households was studied using variables from both waves (1988 and 1993) of longitudinal data. Fathers and mothers were analyzed separately for depression and self-satisfaction at the second wave (1993) in relation to their< perceptions of child, adjustment and child-parent relationships in 1988, and parents' employment and their marital status in 1993. Analyses showed that fathers' depression scores in 1 g93 were significantly related to fathers' perceptions of child adjustment (total and positive), and fathers' age, marital, and employment status. Mothers' depression scores were associated with their marital and employment status and with mothers' perceptions of child adjustment. iii Analyses demonstrated that fathers' self-satisfaction was related to all children having departed and to fathers' marital status, but not to fathers' perceptions of child adjustment. Mothers' self-satisfaction was more frequently related to their marital status and to perceptions of child adjustment but not to children having departed. The small number of significant associations between launching and parents' well-being suggests that either launching is not as highly associated with parental well-being as previously believed, or that launching is a more elusive concept than reflected by the measures used in this study. Age, employment, and marital status appear to be more salient to parents well-being than the departure of children as measured in these studies. The findings also suggest that some aspects of the role of parenting may not change significantly when children leave home. From the findings of this research, future research endeavors should reconsider the concept of launching per se as well as its relation to parents' wellbeing in mid life. Other factors such as marriage and employment should be more closely studied as being more strongly related to well-being in mid life than children's departures from home.

description: To model isotropic homogeneous quantum turbulence in superfluid helium, we have performed Direct Numerical Simulations (DNS) of two fluids (the normal fluid and the superfluid) coupled by mutual friction. We have found evidence of strong locking of superfluid and normal fluid along the turbulent cascade, from the large scale structures where only one fluid is forced down to the vorticity structures at small scales. We have determined the residual slip velocity between the two fluids, and, for each fluid, the relative balance of inertial, viscous and friction forces along the scales. Our calculations show that the classical relation between energy injection and dissipation scale is not valid in quantum turbulence, but we have been able to derive a temperature--dependent superfluid analogous relation. Finally, we discuss our DNS results in terms of the current understanding of quantum turbulence, including the value of the effective kinematic viscosity.

We present the method and describe the procedure used to obtain the numerical results. At first, our technique is tested for geometries with known solutions, such as concentric and eccentric cylinders. Then, we apply the point-matching technique to compute the Casimir interaction energy for new geometries such as concentric corrugated cylinders and cylinders inside conductors with focal lines.

description: We present a study of the local strain effects associated with vacancy defects in strontium titanate and report the first calculations of elastic dipole tensors and chemical strains for point defects in perovskites. The combination of local and long-range results will enable determination of x-ray scattering signatures that can be compared with experiments. We find that the oxygen vacancy possesses a special property -- a highly anisotropic elastic dipole tensor which almost vanishes upon averaging over all possible defect orientations. Moreover, through direct comparison with experimental measurements of chemical strain, we place constraints on the possible defects present in oxygen-poor strontium titanate and introduce a conjecture regarding the nature of the predominant defect in strontium-poor stoichiometries in samples grown via pulsed laser deposition. Finally, during the review process, we learned of recent experimental data, from strontium titanate films deposited via molecular-beam epitaxy, that show good agreement with our calculated value of the chemical strain associated with strontium vacancies.

description: We study the effect of topology for a random matrix model of QCD at nonzero imaginary chemical potential or nonzero temperature. Non-universal fluctuations of Dirac eigenvalues lead to normalization factors that contribute to the $θ$-dependence of the partition function. These normalization factors have to be canceled in order to reproduce the $θ$-dependence of the QCD partition function. The reason for this behavior is that the topological domain of the Dirac spectrum (the region of the Dirac spectrum that is sensitive to the topological charge) extends beyond the microscopic domain at nonzero imaginary chemical potential or temperature. Such behavior could persist in certain lattice formulations of QCD.

description: We show that the five-dimensional Maxwell theory with the Chern-Simons term is tachyonic in the presence of a constant electric field. When coupled to gravity, a sufficiently large Chern-Simons coupling causes instability of the Reissner-Nordstrom black holes in anti-de Sitter space. The instability happens only at non-vanishing momenta, suggesting a spatially modulated phase in the holographically dual quantum field theory in 3+1 dimensions, with spontaneous current generation in a helical configuration. The three-charge extremal black hole in the type IIB superstring theory on AdS_5 x S^5 barely satisfies the stability condition.

title: The Relationship Between Postretirement Activity and Life Satisfaction
Creators: name: Nelson, Dorothy Jane Gould
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1995

description: The purpose of this study was t o examine the relationship between the types o f activities people engage in after they retire, how often they participate , how or with whom they participate , and how these independent variables influence the dependent variable of life satisfaction. The majority of the research done to date on postretirement activity focuses primarily on recreational activities. This study examined the effects of including some type of substantive or service activity in addition to hobbies and recreational activity. Participants were surveyed concerning their health, mobility, and financial conditions so that these variables could be controlled for in determining life satisfaction. They were questioned about their activities, and given the Life Satisfaction Index to measure life satisfaction. The results indicate that those who have no activities t hat they participate in on a regular basis--no hobbies, no forms of recreation , and no service-related activities-have a relatively high level of life satisfaction. Also those who have a high level of hobby and recreational activity combined with regular service activities have a higher level of satisfaction. Those who only occasionally engage in hobby and recreational activity and have no service-related activity have a moderate level of satisfaction. The results of this study confirm the hypothesis that life satisfaction is positively influenced by both hobbies and service activities. Age and gender of respondents are not important variables, but the issues of mobility, health, and economic status do impact life satisfaction. The importance of hobby and recreational activity has been frequently studied under the guise of activity theory, and found to be of significance in feelings of well-being and in life satisfaction. The role of service activity has not been thoroughly explored, but is believed to fill the need for exchange as postulated in exchange theory.

description: Die Bestrebungen, einen institutionalisierten Fremdsprachenunterricht im Bildungssystem in Taiwan zu implementieren, reichen in der multilingualen Gesellschaft Taiwans bereits mehr als 100 Jahre zurück. Die ersten Ansätze einer Bildungspolitik gehen auf die Kolonialzeit der Niederländer und Spanier im 16. und 17. Jahrhundert zurück. Beide Besatzungsmächte verfolgten das Ziel der Alphabetisierung und Christianisierung. Jedoch gelang es erst Zheng Chenggong (im Westen bekannt als Koxinga) nach der Vertreibung der Niederländer, ein allgemeines Bildungssystem zu etablieren. Während der Qing-Zeit (1644-1911) wurde die Insel 1648 der Provinz Fujian als Präfektur eingegliedert und die Bildungspolitik unterstand fortan der Provinzregierung auf dem chinesischen Festland. Das wohl wichtigste Problem der damaligen Schulbildung war das Sprachenproblem: Aufgrund der damaligen chinesischen Gesetzgebung durften Regierungsbeamte nicht in ihren Heimatprovinzen eine Stellung antreten. So entstand die Situation, dass die für die Erziehung zuständigen Beamten und Lehrer mündlich nicht mit ihren Schülern kommunizieren konnten, da sie in aller Regel einen anderen als den in Taiwan üblichen Minnan-Dialekt sprachen. Damit man sich von dieser Situation ein Bild machen kann, sei mir folgendes Beispiel erlaubt: Man redet zwar von chinesischen Dialekten und stellt sich dabei gemeinhin den Unterschied zwischen Kölsch und Öcher Platt vor, allerdings sind chinesische Dialekte in ihrer gesprochenen Form so ähnlich wie Deutsch und Russisch.

I rivelatori ad alto counting rate risultano di grande interesse nell'ambito della medicina nucleare, perchè garantiscono immagini dinamiche ad alta risoluzione statistica, pur a fronte di una consistente riduzione dell'intensità della dose radiogena minima e del conseguente tempo di esposizione. E'stata svilupppata quindi una gamma camera ad elevata velocità riempita di una miscela di Xenon gas ultrapuro ed Etano; il sistema è utilizzato ad una pressione di esercizio compresa tra i 5 ed 10 bar abs. La superficie attiva è di 250x250 mm^2. Al fine di garantire condizioni di esercizio stabili per tempi lunghi, senza degradazione dell'efficienza, è stato progettato un sistema di purificazione in continua del gas, integrato a bordo del rivelatore. E' stato realizzato un prototipo funzionante da ormai sei mesi presso L'Ecole Superieure de Physique et Chimique di Parigi, ed un secondo prototipo è in fase di allestimento presso la INFN Sezione di Padova e sarà utilizzato presso l'Ospedale Niguarda di Milano.

description: Gas absorption rates were experimentally determined for a number of tworphase gas-liquid systems in co-current horizontal flow through circular tubes. Sparingly soluble gases were used in order to determine the liquid phase resistance to mass transfer. A series of experiments was designed to separate the effects of gas density, liquid-phase diffusivity, viscosity, surface tension, and tube diameter, on the mass transfer rates. The gas-liquid systems employed, in a single tube 1.757 cm. in diameter, were CO₂-water, He-water, CO₂-ethanol, and CO₂-ethylene glycol. Two additional tube sizes, 1.228 and 2.504.cm. in diameter were employed with the C02-water system to determine the effect of tube diameter. The gas and liquid flow rates used produced four different flow regions, bubble, plug, slug, and annular flow. The gas, and liquid, superficial velocities ranged from 0.1 to 40 fps, and 0.5 to 3.6 fps, respectively. Two correlations were developed for predicting mass transfer rates in two-phase flow. The first, based on a theory that each bubble represents a "mixing stage", is applicable to the bubble and plug regions of flow, and correlates the experimental' data for a wide range of liquid physical properties, as well as gas and liquid flow rates, with a probable error of approximately 15%. The second correlation, applicable to slug flow, empirically correlates the data for this region, over the same wide range of physical properties and flow rates, with a probable error of approximately 10%. The surface renewal or "penetration theory" mechanism of transfer is shown to be consistent with the experimental results obtained in the bubble and plug regions. In the slug region, on the other hand, evidence is available to indicate that another mechanism (probably that proposed by Kishinevskii), becomes increasingly important as the degree of turbulence increases.

title: Assessing Family Strengths Using the Family Profile: Study to Validate and Evaluate Constructs Across Four Models of Family Functioning
Creators: name: Randall, Troy D
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1995

description: The concurrent criterion-related validity of the Family Profile (FAMPRO) was investigated using the Family Adaptability and Cohesion Scales II (FACES II), the Self-Report Family Inventory (SFI), and the Family Assessment Device (FAD) as criterion measures . Further analysis was conducted through a principal component factor analysis with a varimax rotation and correlations with a Family Satisfaction Scale. The Family Profile is an easy-to-administer, -score, and -interpret instrument designed for use in family life education. It is a 35-item instrument that measures seven areas of family functioning: Family Fun, Family Decisions, Family Pride, Family Values, Family Caring, Family Communication, and Family Confidence. The total scores of the Family Profile had strong correlations with the total scores of the three criterion instruments. Additionally, the individual constructs of the Family Profile showed moderate to strong relationships with the corresponding subscales found in the criterion instruments. Factor analysis of the FAMPRO with this sample indicated that the most important factor explaining the largest portion of the variance is the ability of family members to display positive regard to one another in an open and warm manner. The Family Satisfaction Scale created for this project was moderately to strongly correlated with all of the Family Profile's Subscales. The sample used for this study was taken from undergraduate Family and Human Development classes at Utah State University and had a total N of 194. This nonrandom sample was mostly young, single, and female. The religious preference for 80% of the sample was Mormon (LDS). While the sample limits generalization of the results, these preliminary results provide sufficient evidence to warrant further research using the Family Profile. Because the FAMPRO is easy to use and interpret, it holds promise as an effective tool for family life educators and clinicians alike.

description: The ATLAS Barrel Toroid (BT) consists of 8 superconducting coils of 25 m length and 5 m width, it provides the magnetic field for the muon spectrometer of the ATLAS detector, one of the experiments of the Large Hadron Collider, under construction at CERN. The cable used for the coils is an Aluminum stabilized NbTi rutherford cable and the coils are built with the double pancake technique, so a resistive joint between the cables of the two single pancake is present. The transverse magnetic field induces eddy currents, during the ramping of the main current, whose intensity can sometimes exceed the transition limit. B0 is a one third length, full large scale model of one of the eight magnet composing the ATLAS barrel toroid. The B0 construction was decided to test the technical construction solutions and reproduce the behaviour of the final coils. In this paper the behaviour of the interpancake joint is analyzed and compared with theoretical models describing the current distribution at the joint. Measurements of the joint resistance are reported.
title: Academic Goals, Achievement, and Age at First Sexual Intercourse: Reciprocal Influences

description: This study examined the reciprocal relationship between the age of first sexual intercourse and academic goals and achievement. It was hypothesized that lower educational goals and achievement were likely to be associated with an adolescent who initiated sexual intercourse at a younger age than those with higher educational goals and achievement. It was also hypothesized that initiating sexual activity early would be associated with a decrease in subsequent academic achievement and goals. Possible explanations are that the costs of engaging in sexual intercourse (pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases) may deter adolescents from initiating intercourse. Weak attachment to parents and future goals may increase the influence of negative peer associations as well. It is also possible that adolescents who engage in sexual intercourse experience a change in mind set against community standards, one being high academic achievement and goals. This project analyzed data from the National Survey of Children (NSC), which is a national longitudinal sample of children aged 7 to 11 beginning in 1976, with additional data collection points in 1981 and 1987. A regression analysis examined the correlation of selected educational variables with the age of first sexual intercourse. The sample was then divided into two groups: those who had experienced voluntary sexual intercourse prior to the time of a data collection point and those who had not. I tests were performed examine the difference in educational variables for virgins and nonvirgins in 1981 and 1987. To examine the change in educational goals and achievement that could have resulted due to the onset of sexual activity, an analysis of covariance was performed on educational variables that were measured at two points in time. The results of this research confirm that reciprocal relationships exist between adolescent sexual activity and educational achievement and goals. Lower educational achievement and goals, measured at an earlier point in time, were related to a younger age of first sexual intercourse. Also, engaging in sexual intercourse was related to a decrease in subsequent educational goals and achievement. The relationship between lower academic achievement and goals and the age of first sex varied by race and gender. Black females showed the strongest association with educational variables and black males the least association. White females and white males both showed significant relationships between education and sexual activity. Sexual activity had the most impact on subsequent academic achievement, followed by educational goals.

description: In ihrer kulturkontrastiven Untersuchung stellt Gundula Gwenn Hiller die Frage, wie die Kommunikation zwischen Deutschen und Polen im Alltagsleben einer deutsch-polnischen Institution verläuft. Das Quellenkorpus bilden zwanzig Interviews mit deutschen und polnischen Studierenden der Europa-Universität Viadrina in Frankfurt/Oder, die sich selbst als eine „Schnittstelle zwischen Ost und West“ bezeichnet. Kritische Beobachter der Viadrina- Universität heben die tiefe Diskrepanz zwischen dem politischen Auftrag bzw. dem Selbstverständnis der Hochschule und dem Alltag in Frankfurt/Oder hervor. Hillers Doktorarbeit basiert auf der Hypothese, dass das Scheitern der interkulturellen Kommunikation (IK) oft auf subtile kulturelle Unterschiede zurückzuführen ist, derer sich die Interaktionspartner nicht bewusst sind. Hierzu gehören vor allem Werte, Normen, Verhaltensstandards oder auch Kommunikationsstile. Die Arbeit konzentriert sich auf die bekannten kritischen Interaktionssituationen (‚critical incidents’), die sich auf sieben Themenbereiche beziehen: Religion, Moralvorstellungen, Familie, soziale Netzwerke/Gruppensolidarität, Rollenverständnis der Geschlechter, Witze – Tabus – Fettnäpfchen – gemeinsame Themen und den Umgang mit Hierarchien. An diesen Beispielen wird die Kommunikation zwischen einer ‚Low-Context-’ und einer ‚High-Kontext-Culture’ – um sich der Kategorien von Edward Hall zu bedienen – veranschaulicht und anschließend werden „zehn Thesen zu interkulturellen Konfliktsituationen zwischen deutschen und polnischen Studierenden“ formuliert. Die Autorin stellt zum Beispiel die These auf, dass Moralvorstellungen in Polen überwiegend als konservativ wahrgenommen würden oder dass der Stellenwert der Familie in Polen höher als in Deutschland sei. Des Weiteren sei das „Denken und Agieren in Gruppen/Netzwerken“ für polnische Studierende selbstverständlicher als für deutsche und Professoren seien für Polen anders als für Deutsche Respektpersonen auch außerhalb der Universität. Andere Thesen beschränken sich leider auf reine Feststellungen der Unterschiede, ohne zu versuchen, diese inhaltlich zu füllen.
title: Issues of Consensus and Concern: Family Relationships of the Elderly in the United States and Japan
Creators: name: Yamamoto, Takashi
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1995

description: The purpose of this study was to explore cultural differences between America and Japan concerning four domains: past family relationships, current family relationships, the support network, and well-being.
Concern and consensus in the family are the principal background issues in this study. In America there has been a change from consensus (sharing basic similarity of values or attitudes and interests) to concern (an intense emotional involvement and affectional closeness). In contrasting the American and Japanese societies, consensus and concern constitute different orders from a more traditional context to the current societal context. This cultural difference impacts the relationship between the dynamics of the family in the early formative years, and how the individual responds within the current family. Ramifications are apparent in the quality of the current relationships, use of informal and formal support networks, and individual well-being.
The Family of Origin Scale was used to measure past family relationships. The Positive Affect Index and Interaction Index were used to measure current family relationships. The support network was measured by questions selected from the Older Americans Resources and Services Program. The revised version of the Philadelphia Geriatric Center Moral Scale, the Life Satisfaction Index A, and the LSI-K (1990) constituted the measurement devices for personal well-being. The sample consisted of elderly individuals 70 to 79 years of age, 77 from America and 42 from Japan.
The major finding in America was that this society has changed from a consensus to a concern orientation. For example, autonomy is positively related to personal well-being. The relationship holds true in terms of past family experiences as well as current family relationships.
The data also show the impact of rapid social change in the nation of Japan. Japanese culture reflects an orientation change from traditional family concern to more of a consensus perspective. Family and personal well-being are related to perceived family intimacy in the past. A positive perception of current family relations was related to solidarity. It was concluded that rapid social change and modernization in Japan have brought about these major changes in terms of consensus and concern. Shifts on these two dimensions have implications for the adjustment and well-being of the elderly in a family context.

description: We study electromagnetic streaming instabilities in thermal viscous regions of rotating astrophysical objects, such as, protostellar and protoplanetary magnetized accretion disks, molecular clouds, their cores, and elephant trunks. The obtained results can also be applied to any regions of interstellar medium, where different equilibrium velocities between charged species can arise. We consider a weakly and highly ionized three-component plasma consisting of neutrals and magnetized electrons and ions. The vertical perturbations along the background magnetic field are investigated. The effect of perturbation of collisional frequencies due to density perturbations of species is taken into account. The growth rates of perturbations are found in a wide region of wave number spectrum for media, where the thermal pressure is larger than the magnetic pressure. It is shown that in cases of strong collisional coupling of neutrals with ions the contribution of the viscosity is negligible.
