The efficacy of a cognitive behavioural treatment programme for students with high test-anxiety and poor study skills

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

The present study examined the efficacy of two-stage treatment programme consisting of anxiety management training and study-skills training, for students with high test-anxiety and poor coping skills. A total of nine students were divided into three groups and completed the Test Anxiety Inventory, Survey of Study Habits and Attitudes, and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory in a multiple-baseline-across-groups format. All participants also responded to an Automatic Thoughts in Simulated Situations tape both pre- and post-treatment. The results were analysed initially by comparing the pre- and post-treatment aggregated participant means on each measure. The post-treatment participant mean was then examined against normative data on each measure. Secondly, the results were analysed to detect post-treatment changes in the therapeutic direction for each participant involved in the study. The results of the group means found a significant reduction post-treatment on all subscales of the pen and paper measures. This confirmed the predictions of the information-processing model's claim that this type of treatment programme is efficacious for all students with high test -anxiety and poor study skills. Further, the assumption that both negative codes and positive codes on the Automatic Thoughts in Simulated Situations paradigm would change significantly was supported, with the exception of positive statements. The groups mean results also confirmed the assumption that a two-stage treatment programme would reduce overloading the participants' with too much information, which has been problematic in previous research. Results from the individual analyses revealed the immense variance of the participants' responses to all measures. Not all participants' showed a clear change in the therapeutic direction, which suggests that the treatment programme was not efficacious for all of the participants. Based on these findings, further research is needed to explore the individuality of students within the high test - anxious and poor study skills population. Only then can a treatment programme be designed to meet the needs of this type of test-anxious student.
Transforming Nursing Documentation

Field: Nursing (Health Sciences)

Graduate nursing education is positioned to transform nursing documentation so that it more fully describes nursing assessments, diagnoses, interventions, and outcomes to measure improvements in care. Learning to document with structured nursing terminology is an integral part of "Information Technology for Evidence-Based Practice", a required online course taken by all students in the Rutgers Doctor of Nursing Practice program. Beginning with SOAP and terminology required for billing, students create a clinical note adding elements of the Nursing Minimum Data Set, using Clinical Care Classification terms. Next, students are asked to select a nursing-related clinical practice guideline, electronic clinical quality improvement measure, and a screening tool that applies to their encounter note. Then, they identify Patient Reported Outcome Measures as well as improvement activities in the CMS Quality Payment Program. The course is well-received; many graduate students now face changes in documentation and electronic tools and can predict future evolution.
Effects of Quercetin on Reversion of Temozolomide Resistance in U87/TR Cell Line

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

Objective To generate drug resistant U87/TR cell line induced by timozolomide(TMZ),and to study the effect of quercetin on reversing temozolomide resistance in glioma cells.Methods Drug resistance of U87 glioma cells was induced with escalating concentrations of TMZ to produce U87/TR cell line.The drug resistance factor(RF) was determined by cell colony method.The cytotoxicity of TMZ to U87/TR cell line and IC50 value to U87/TMZ were evaluated by MTT method.U87/TMZ and U87 cells were treated with quercetin;the cytotoxicity and the inhibition rate were evaluated by MTT and LDH assay among the groups.Results U87/TR cell line of drug resistance was successfully induced by TMZ with stepwise revulsion method.The colony-forming efficency of U87/TR was about 1.5-8.0 times that of U251 cells in cell cloning experiment.The drug resistance factor was about 4.18 in U87/TR cell line assayed by MTT method.The cell survival rate was less than 50% in U87/TMZ group that was pretreated by quercetin combinated with TMZ at the concentration of 50 μmol·L-1.Conclusion The drug-resistant U87/TR cell line was established.Combination of quercetin with TMZ could reverse durg resistance of U87/TR cells.It suggests that quercetin combined with TMZ maybe enhances chemotherapeutical effect on glioma.
Looking Back and the Road Ahead

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

This concluding chapter summarizes the central arguments developed throughout this book. American Muslim efforts against domestic violence (DV) demonstrate powerfully that Muslim communities in the United States are indeed American, both in their affirmation of American values and in their resistance against oppressive and exclusionary laws and practices. In other words, critiques of anti-Muslim hostility, racism, and marginalization through cultural and religious domination are as much an expression of Americanness as the necessary engagement with American structures, institutions, and levels of government. Thus, one conclusion from this project is that Muslim advocates against domestic violence are no more than a specific example for American advocacy against DV. However, they are also set apart by their reference to their Muslim identity—and construction of Islam—as a powerful resource for this struggle to end DV in Muslim communities and American society. The chapter then describes an event at which the Muslim anti-DV movement was analyzed by its Muslim participants while pointing to larger frameworks of gender-based violence, anti-Muslim hostility, and racism.
Beta-arrestin2, a novel member of the arrestin/beta-arrestin gene family.

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

Homologous or agonist-specific desensitization of beta 2-adrenergic receptors (beta 2AR) is mediated by the beta-adrenergic receptor kinase (beta ARK) which specifically phosphorylates the agonist-occupied form of the receptor. However, the capacity of beta ARK-phosphorylated beta 2AR to stimulate Gs in a reconstituted system is only minimally impaired. Recently, a protein termed beta-arrestin, was cloned from a bovine brain cDNA library and found to quench phosphorylated beta 2AR-coupling to Gs. Utilizing a low stringency hybridization technique to screen a rat brain cDNA library, we have now isolated cDNA clones representing two distinct beta-arrestin-like genes. One of the cDNAs is the rat homolog of bovine beta-arrestin (beta-arrestin1). In addition, we have isolated a cDNA clone encoding a novel, beta-arrestin-related protein which we have termed beta-arrestin2. Overall, beta-arrestin2 exhibits 78% amino acid identity with beta-arrestin1. The primary structure of these proteins delineates a family of proteins that regulates receptor coupling to G proteins. The capacity of purified beta-arrestin1, beta-arrestin2, and arrestin to inhibit the coupling of phosphorylated receptors to their respective G proteins were assessed in a reconstituted beta 2AR-Gs system and in a reconstituted rhodopsin-GT system. beta-Arrestin2 was equipotent to beta-arrestin1 and specifically inhibited beta 2AR function. Conversely, arrestin inhibited rhodopsin coupling to GT, whereas beta-arrestin1 and beta-arrestin2 were at least 20-fold less potent in this system. beta-Arrestin1 and beta-arrestin2 are predominantly localized in neuronal tissues and in the spleen. However, low mRNA levels can be detected in most peripheral tissues. In the central nervous system, beta-arrestin2 appears to be even more abundant than beta-arrestin1. Immunohistochemical analysis of the tissue distribution of beta-arrestin1 and beta-arrestin2 in rat brain shows extensive, but heterogenous, neuronal labeling of the two proteins. They are found in several neuronal pathways suggesting that they have relatively broad receptor specificity regulating many G protein-coupled receptors. Furthermore, immunoelectron microscopy shows that the beta-arrestins are appropriately situated at postsynaptic sites to act in concert with beta ARK to regulate G protein-coupled neurotransmitter receptors.

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

This paper examines the differences in consumers' intention to purchase travel online across Millennials and Baby Boomers. The Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology 2 (UTAUT2) is extended by including attitude, compatibility, innovativeness, perceived trust, and perceived risk variables. Data is collected using online questionnaires from Millennials (N=322) and Baby Boomers (N=318) in Australia. Overall, the empirical results revealed that factors affecting Australian consumers' intention to purchase travel online differ across generations. This study contributes to the literature by extending and testing the comprehensive research model to understand consumers' online travel purchase behavior better.
Taking Employment Discrimination Seriously: Chinese and European Perspectives

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Employment discrimination is present in any society. However, this severe social problem has escalated in the post-Mao era in China. The imbalance between supply and demand in the labour market, combined with a lack of general consciousness regarding labour rights, have contributed to the swift spread of discrimination. This book contains the most recent research on the reality of discrimination in China, and advocates for effective employment equality protection through law and specialised equality institutions. The study of equal treatment in the legal systems of the EU illustrates the important contribution law, together with general policies, can make to the improvement of equality in employment. While both systems face a distinctive range and degree of problems, employment discrimination ought to be taken seriously in China and the countries of the EU.
Pecking up Optimism: Learning Opportunities Improve Mood for Sanctuary-Living Cornish Cross Chickens

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Understanding what influences mood (optimism/pessimism) is crucial in determining whether environments are conducive to positive welfare. This study explores the impact of learning opportunities on mood in Cornish Cross chickens (also known as "broiler chickens"), of which over nine billion individuals are raised annually for meat in the United States. We predicted that access to learning opportunities promotes optimism in these chickens. We conducted yoked-control design experimental trials and two judgment bias tests (baseline and post-experimental) with eight adult sanctuary-living hens. There were significant post-experimental between-group differences in mood, with those who had access to learning opportunities experiencing greater optimism than those who did not. These results suggest that learning and the ability to control access to rewards may contribute positively to the welfare of Cornish Cross chickens.
Tumor margin assessment using frozen sections can be improved by paired-agent imaging (Conference Presentation)

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

During resection of head and neck cancers, surgeons collect multiple small tissue samples from the excision wound bed for "frozen section" analysis by a clinical pathologist to determine clear margins. However, this process is disruptive to work flow, time-consuming, and expensive. We have validated Paired-Agent Imaging (PAI) in in vivo xenograft models using epidermal growth factor receptor and demonstrated that PAI exhibits higher diagnostic accuracy targeted agent alone – tested in both fresh tissue (~3-mm) and frozen sections (10-m). Here PAI will be extended to screening of tissue biopsies to quantify tumor burden in comparison to standard frozen section pathology.
Effectiveness of positive psychotherapy intervention on psychological wellbeing and positive- negative affects of mothers with Autistic children

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

The present study has been carried out to study effectiveness of positive psychotherapy intervention program on psychological wellbeing and positive- negative affects of mothers with Autistic children. This research was experimental research with pre post and follow up tests. Through an experimental design, 24 mothers with autistic children in Tehran autism rehabilitation centers(April2 Autism center) were selected as statistical sample and randomly divided into two groups: experimental (n=12) and control(n=12) groups. The research assessment was Riff (1989), psychological wellbeing scale and Watson etc. (1988) positive and negative affects scale (PANAS). Rashid and Seligman Positive psychotherapy intervention program (2013), were implemented in ٩ sessions (two sessions each week) for experimental group. The data were analyzed by using MANCOVA and repeated measures tests. Finding confirms that positive psychotherapy intervention program lead to increased psychological wellbeing and positive affect and also cut down negative affect of mothers with autistic students (P
The Changing Role of the Enterprise Architect

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

Enterprise architecture is practiced in different ways, and there are different types of enterprise architects with quite different roles. This paper looks closer at the role of enterprise architects and the importance of the enterprise architects' understanding of boundary issues in their practice. The paper suggests that enterprise architects must focus on problem-finding more than problem-solving, and should develop not just more dialectic skills, but also dialogic skills. The paper also argues that the enterprise architects must gain a deeper understanding of the enterprise, and need to start working with other enterprise disciplines.
The 800 year long ion record from the Lomonosovfonna (Svalbard) ice core

Field: Earth and Planetary Sciences (Physical Sciences)

We present a high‐resolution record of water‐soluble ion chemistry from a 121 m ice core spanning about 800 years. The core is well dated to 2/3 depth using cycle counting and reference horizons and a simple but close fitting model for the lower 1/3 of the core. This core suffers from modest seasonal melt, and so we present concentration data in decadal running means to minimize percolation effects. Sea‐salt ions (Na + , Cl − , Mg 2+ , and K + ) account for more than 70% of all ions. In general, sea‐salt ion concentrations are rather variable and have no clear association with climatic variations. Sulfate, with 74% being from non‐sea‐salt sources, has higher concentrations than seen on Vestfonna ice cap but lower than in Ny‐Ålesund aerosols, suggesting central Spitsbergen receives more marine (westerly) air masses than Ny‐Ålesund but more sulfate enriched (easterly) air masses than Nordaustlandet. Clear anthropogenic impacts are found for sulfate, nitrate, and ammonium (and probably excess chloride) after the mid twentieth century, with sulfate showing a significant rise by the end of the nineteenth century. Sulfate and methanesulfonate concentrations correlate well during the twentieth century, and it is clear that most of the preindustrial sulfate is of biogenic origin. Terrestrial component (Ca 2+ ) has the highest concentrations in the coldest part of the Little Ice Age, suggesting more windy conditions, transporting local terrestrial dust to the ice cap. All ion concentrations decrease at the end of the twentieth century, which reflects loss of ions by runoff, with non‐sea‐salt magnesium being particularly sensitive to melting.
Growth of SiC nanorods at low temperature

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

Cubic-phase SiC (β-SiC) nanorods were synthesized through a one-step reaction under pressure at 400 °C by which the crystalline product can be obtained directly without annealing at high temperature. The reaction was carried out in an autoclave by using SiCl4 and CCl4 as reactants and metal Na as coreductant. The x-ray diffraction pattern indicates the formation of β-SiC and x-ray photoelectron spectra display the stoichiometric relation between Si and C. Transmission electron microscopy images reveal that the product consists of nanorods with diameters from 10 to 40 nm and lengths up to several micrometers.
Twin Concordance for DSM-III Schizophrenia

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

DSM-III diagnoses were applied to 26 monozygotic (MZ) and 34 dizygotic (DZ) probands and their co-twins from the Maudsley Hospital (1948 to 1965) schizophrenic series of Gottesman and Shields. DSM-III criteria for schizophrenia were found to be highly reliable and valid, and to have a broad heritability of 0.85, which is comparable with the Research Diagnostic Criteria and Feighner criteria from which they were derived. When the full range of DSM-III diagnoses were considered, both affective disorder and schizophrenia were found in genetically identical individuals. The effect of DSM-III nosology on the twin series was also explored by adding other diagnoses to that of schizophrenia and observing the effect on the MZ/DZ concordance ratio. The addition of affective disorder with mood-incongruent delusions to the schizophrenia spectrum produced the largest increase in the ratio and, by implication, a "more genetic" combination than schizophrenia alone. The maximum MZ/DZ concordance ratio (7.68) was produced by schizophrenia, plus affective disorder with mood-incongruent delusions, plus schizotypal personality disorder, plus atypical psychosis. The effect of adding paranoid disorder (paranoia) and all other affective categories was a reduction in the ratio.
Estimation in a growth study with irregular measurement times

Field: Decision Sciences (Social Sciences)

Between 1982 and 1988 a growth study was carried out at the Division of Pediatric Oncology of the University Hospital of Groningen. A special feature of the project was that sample sizes are small and that ages at entry may be very different. In addition the intended design was not fully complied with. This paper highlights some aspects of the statistical analysis which is based on (1) reference scores, (2) statistical procedures allowing for an irregular pattern of measurement times caused by missing data and shifted measurement times.
Dilated cardiomyopathy-related stroke mimicking large-artery atherosclerosis-related stroke: report of two cases

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

The clinical characteristics and treatment of stroke caused by dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) are not clear, especially in patients with large-artery atherosclerosis (LAA)-related stenosis, which commonly causes acute ischemic stroke (AIS); therefore, the diagnosis and treatment of such patients are challenging. Herein, we summarize the clinical characteristics and suggest clues to guide the diagnosis and treatment of two cases. Case 1: A 67-year-old woman with a history of DCM presented with sudden-onset slurred speech and left limb weakness (>2 hours duration), which worsened after intravenous thrombolysis. Repeated brain computed tomography showed no hemorrhage; thus, cerebral artery occlusion or embolism was suspected. Emergency magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and angiography (MRA) revealed acute multiple bilateral cerebral infarctions and severe left middle cerebral artery stenosis, respectively. We considered a DCM-related stroke and administered anticoagulation therapy. Subsequently, the patient’s symptoms improved significantly, and she was discharged on day 9, after showing no abnormal neurological signs. Case 2: A 49-year-old man with a history of DCM presented with acute headache and blurred vision for 4 days. MRI and MRA revealed multiple acute cerebral infarctions and left vertebral artery stenosis, respectively. We considered an LAA-related stroke and administered antiplatelet and cholesterol-lowering drugs. Eventually, the patient was discharged on day 13, after his right-sided hemianopia improved significantly. Both patients had LAA, which can be easily misdiagnosed as a stroke. LAA-related and DCM-related stroke need to be differentiated. DCM-related AIS lesions are often distributed in the areas supplied by the different cerebral arteries. It is necessary to carefully analyze the shape, location, and scope of the lesions, and identify the main causes of stroke. Anticoagulant therapy is preferred for DCM-related AIS.
Risk Evaluation of Loss in Professional Efficiency, Health, and Work Safety Using Psychophysiological Factors

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

Introduction: A transformation in modern production and an increase in workload requires an improvement in the occupational psychophysiological selection, the search for new approaches for its implementation, and the creation of special ways for the evaluation of the psychophysiological state of workers. The aim of this investigation is to develop an approach for the quantitative evaluation of the efficient reduction in risk in worker’s occupational activity, and the probability of health and safety depletion during the entire life period of work. Materials and Methods: The investigation is based on the data of 110 psychophysiological indicators, received from a survey that encompassed the workers of operative service in electric power engineering industry of Ukraine. The data was examined using statistical tools, factor analysis, and multivariate regression models. Results: The developed technique made it possible to determine the statistical significance and to estimate the impact of the important phychophysiological factors on the level of success in the occupational activity of workers under dangerous circumstances. The model includes the variable that describes the age of the worker and provides analysis for 4 categories of ages. Conclusion: The important factors that influence the risk of reduction in occupational efficiency of the workers are variability, the total error, and the number of positive values according to the pendulum methodology; the average reaction time according to the square-circle technique; variability according to the square technique; and adaptability and time of the task performance according to the adaptability methodology. The workers belonging to the same age group do not significantly change the risk of depletion in their occupational efficiency.
