Social support and friendship quality across contexts: Exploring digital versus in-person relationships of emerging adults

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

The social lives of college students have expanded over the 21st century to include online spaces. Little is known about the importance of social relationships occurring online versus offline (i.e., in face-to-face situations). Prior research shows social support as generally strongly related to well-being. Social support is also found to be a motivator to use social media to connect with others. Intersecting social media use, well-being, and friendship quality provides insight into modern connections. In the present research, we hypothesized offline friendship quality will be more strongly related to wellbeing measures than online (i.e., connections through technology) friendship quality. We also hypothesized that men and women would differ in amount of offline and online social support and overall well-being. Men and women are also anticipated to differ in how social media use. Finally, we hypothesized participants to report more offline than online social interaction. Using Qualtrics to compile online questionnaires, we assessed online and offline social support, wellbeing (i.e., life satisfaction, loneliness, and perceived stress), and time spent interacting online and offline within the last two weeks. Using the Department of Psychology SONA systems, we recruited 237 participants (93 men, 149 women, 2 other). Results indicated partial support for the hypotheses. Social media usage was supported as a significant predictor for perceived stress, but not for loneliness and life satisfaction. Social support of a particular online friend was not related to well-being, but social support from a particular offline friend was. Unexpectedly, there were fewer gender differences than hypothesized. Usage of social media platforms showed the most variation between men and women. Women reported higher levels of stress than men. Lastly, we confirmed the hypothesis that women and men spend more time in offline than online social interactions.
Performance of a Psychomotor Skill following Rest, Exercise at the Plasma Epinephrine Threshold and Maximal Intensity Exercise

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of exercising at the epinephrine threshold and at Maximum Power Output on the performance of a skill that requires both decision-making and motor performance. Participants ( N=12) undertook an incremental test to exhaustion from which their epinephrine threshold and Maximum Power Output were calculated. They were then examined on a soccer skill test following rest and exercise that was previously determined to elicit their epinephrine threshold and Maximum Power Output. The soccer test examined the participants' speed and accuracy of response. Speed of response was measured by voice reaction time and whole body reaction time. No significant effects of exercise were shown for any of the variables. The need for further research using more complex skill tests and the use of discontinuous exercise protocols, rather than continuous ones, is recommended.

This three-year research project began in January 2014 and investigated whether, during the Victorian period, the professions formed a distinct self-sustaining social group with its own mores and values. The project looked at 16,000 individuals drawn from census data for Alnwick, Brighton, Bristol, Dundee, Greenock, Leeds, Merthyr Tydfil, Morpeth, and Winchester. The research project was funded by the UK Economic & Social Research Council and was based at the Universities of Oxford and Northumbria.
The Juba Peace Talks with the Lord’s Resistance Army in 2006

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

This chapter gives a detailed and dramatic account of the first year of the Juba Peace Talks between the Lord’s Resistance Army/Movement (LRA/M) and the Government of Uganda. It highlights the many tensions and contradictions that occurred, for example, the pressure to bring LRA senior commanders to the table while they feared for their security, Ugandan government insistence to put a deadline on the talks, the lack of capacity within the LRA/M delegation to deliver negotiation papers, the technical and military challenge to have the LRA fighters assemble, the contradictions within international approaches that simultaneously supported the ICC while also requesting that to back off. Ownership of the process became complex for the LRA/M who sought broad civil society participation while aiming to maintain their powerful hold on the process. In offering a narrative of the convoluted and complex events of this first year of peace talks, the chapter also argues that the developing dynamics of the talks made the pursuit of peace not just an unthankful but rather a damaging experience: For the LRA/M, the start to the negotiations was an experience of continuation, with existing political and military power relations entrenched, rather than transformed.
An exocyst component, Sec5, is essential for ascospore formation in <i>Bipolaris maydis</i>

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

In this study, we identified Sec5 in Bipolaris maydis, a homologue of Sec5 in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and a possible exocyst component of the fungus. To examine how Sec5 affects the life cycle of B. maydis, we generated null mutant strains of the gene (Δsec5). The Δsec5 strains showed a strong reduction in hyphal growth and a slight reduction in pathogenicity. In sexual reproduction, they possessed the ability to develop pseudothecia. However, all ascospores were aborted in any of the asci obtained from crosses between Δsec5 and the wild-type. Our cytological study revealed that the abortion was caused by impairments of the post-meiotic stages in ascospore development, where ascospore delimitation and young spore elongation occur.
An intrinsically safe electrical tomography system

Field: Chemical Engineering (Physical Sciences)

In recent years industrial tomography has emerged as a valuable tool for interrogating the internals of a variety of process vessels. A popular approach is to inject electrical current and then from measurements of the resulting boundary voltages to reconstruct a cross-sectional image representing the distribution of materials in the vessel. In many cases the process takes place in a hazardous environment and consequently there is a need for certified safe equipment. This paper reports on the design, construction and testing of the worlds first intrinsically safe electrical tomography system. To achieve certification zener barrier diodes and intrinsically safe relay- modules provide electrical isolation from the hazardous environment. The instrument is certified for operation in a zone O environment and has been operating successfully on a production pressure filter for 2 years.
Urban Enterprise Zones: Do They Work? Evidence From New Jersey

Budgetary pressures have made it necessary to consider the effectiveness of urban enterprise zones. These geographically targeted tax incentives programs are widespread. But whether and to what extent these programs spur economic development is not known. The article presents an evaluation of urban enterprise zones in New Jersey in terms of costs and economic impacts, including industrial output, tax revenue, and job creation.
Partial deletion of long arm of chromosome 17: a specific abnormality in acute promyelocytic leukemia?

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Two patients with acute promyelocytic leukemia had an identical chromosomal abnormality detected by fluorescence banding. In each case, the clinical course was rapidly fatal, and was characterized by a lack of response to chemotherapy with cytarabine and thioguanine, and was complicated by disseminated intravascular coagulation. Bone marrow cells from each patient contained 46 chromosomes; in each instance, however, one chromosome 17 had a deletion of almost one half of the proximal portion of the long arm [del(17)(q11q21 or 22)]. (Arch Intern Med136:825-828, 1976)
Giving Credit Where Credit is Due: The Psychology of Credit Ratings

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of personality on credit ratings, measured in terms of credit scores from actual credit reports. Personality is measured in terms of an individual's locus-of-control, which is the extent to which individuals attribute important outcomes to external forces outside of their control. Using survey data from a large, national sample of consumers, an individual's credit score is modeled as a function of financial knowledge and locus-of-control, in addition to demographic characteristics and situational factors. Findings suggest that consumers with higher levels of financial knowledge and consumers with an internal locus-of-control have higher credit scores than similarly situated consumers with low credit scores, even after controlling for income, education, and the incidence of negative external life events. In addition, the extent to which knowledge affects credit scores depends on whether an individual has an external vs. internal locus-of-control.

Chapter 4 discusses musical miscellany form the point of view of the composer, who was required to master a multitude of musical styles and languages in order to achieve prominence and patronage in London. Analysis of theatrical, vocal, and instrumental works by composers active between 1700 and 1720 indicate that their experiments with stylistic miscellany helped to shape the tastes of their audiences.
ANALYSIS OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT IN THE INTERNAL FOUNDATION KHOIRU UMMAH CILACAP

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

As one type of non-profit entity, the Foundation has a mandate from the Law of the Republic of Indonesia to be able to manage its finances properly. This study was conducted related to the financial management relationship between Khoiru Ummah Cilacap Foundation and the business entities under it, which was carried out to find out the current management conditions, compare them with the ideal management principles, and provide a proposed road map for improving financial management. The research was conducted using descriptive qualitative methods by collecting data through interviews and observations, which will then be analyzed to obtain an overview of a problem. From the analysis of the data obtained, it is known that currently the financial management of the Foundation has not been fully integrated, so that it can be proposed to plan concrete steps for the integration of financial management so that the Foundation can optimize the liquidity and cash flow available for the sustainability of the Foundation's operations and all its business entities.
Measurement of Small Changes in the Velocity of Ultrasonic Waves in Solids Using an Improved ldquo;Sing-Around” System

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

Interest in the anharmonic properties of solids has resulted in the development of instruments capable of resolving extremely small changes in the velocity of ultrasonic waves (∼1 part in 107). A “sing-around” system, initially designed for use in studies of the third-order elastic constants of solids, has been developed from the system described by Forgacs [IRE Trans. on Instr. 9, 359 (1960)]. The new apparatus appears to overcome the main limitation of the Forgacs system (viz., its sensitivity to the amplitude of the acoustic signal) by using a zero crossing discriminator to convert the acoustic signal, which consists of a series of echoes, into a number of constant amplitude pulses. The instrument has been used to examine stress-induced velocity changes in some 3–5 semiconductors, especially indium antimonide, and there is some evidence of curvature in the functional relation between transit time and stress at low stress levels.

Delta-training: Simple Semi-Supervised Text Classification using\n Pretrained Word Embeddings

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

We propose a novel and simple method for semi-supervised text classification.\nThe method stems from the hypothesis that a classifier with pretrained word\nembeddings always outperforms the same classifier with randomly initialized\nword embeddings, as empirically observed in NLP tasks. Our method first builds\ntwo sets of classifiers as a form of model ensemble, and then initializes their\nword embeddings differently: one using random, the other using pretrained word\nembeddings. We focus on different predictions between the two classifiers on\nunlabeled data while following the self-training framework. We also use\nearly-stopping in meta-epoch to improve the performance of our method. Our\nmethod, Delta-training, outperforms the self-training and the co-training\nframework in 4 different text classification datasets, showing robustness\nagainst error accumulation.\n
Exercise Prescription for People With Metastatic Cancer of the Skeleton

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

ABSTRACT Exercise is increasingly accepted as a therapy in the management of cancer, and is now described as a medicine, giving rise to a new discipline in clinical practice and research termed exercise oncology . Exercise medicine has been evaluated in clinical trials and implemented in patient care at all phases of disease and treatment trajectory. Advanced disease involving bone metastases presents considerable challenges in terms of patient assessment and exercise prescription. Over the past decade research evidence has accumulated attesting to the safety and efficacy of appropriately designed exercise medicine interventions. Combined with a need for well-developed guidelines, an expert consensus has been developed. Through a rigorous process the overarching recommendation was that exercise professionals should work with the patient and their health care team to balance the risk of adverse events due to participation in exercise therapy against the risk of more rapid patient decline through not exercising, as well as the potential loss of health benefits that could be realized through exercise. This is the basic tenet of health care and withholding or not offering a therapy that is likely to provide greater benefit than the potential risk it may cause for fear of that risk is untenable.
Pathogenic camouflage as defense mechanism against autophagic recognition

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

Autophagic recognition of S. flexneri is based on the recognition of the bacterial surface protein VirG by the human protein ATG5. As a countermeasure S. flexneri secretes the protein IcsB which binds competitively and with higher affinity to VirG. Hence, recognition of VirG by ATG5 is blocked, thus masking S. flexneri from the autophagic system. The objective of this work was the characterization of this camouflage mechanism by structural biology and biochemistry methods. The ESPRIT system was deployed to screen for soluble constructs of the VirG α-domain. One of the resulting constructs was VirGE76 (340-758) that covered most of the IcsB/ATG5 binding domain. It was expressed solubly and was used in interaction studies but did not crystallize. VirGE94 (419-758) was another construct that covered the last 15 aa of the IcsB/ATG5 binding domain. It was crystallized and its structure was solved by X-ray crystallography. The VirGE94 structure contained a previously unknown domain that resided N-terminal on the β-helix. It had a fold similar to the autochaperone domains of different autotransporter proteins which indicated that it might act as a second autochaperone domain nucleating the fold of a continuation of the β-helix. IcsB could not be crystallized, but the IpgA binding site was mapped to IcsB residues 26-125, in contrast to the previously published binding site between residues 171-247. Furthermore, indications for an interaction of IcsB and N-WASP were observed. The crystal structure of individual human ATG5 was solved and showed two ubiquitin-like fold domains and an α-helical bundle region. ATG5 T75 phosphorylation had been shown to inhibit autophagy. Here the molecular mechanisms have been investigated by the crystallization of the phosphomimetic mutant T75E. However, no differences in the structural or biochemical properties of the different ATG5 variants were observed. Interaction studies between the three proteins involved in the Shigella camouflage mechanism showed indications for a direct interaction between IcsB and VirGE76, but no interaction between ATG5 and any VirG-construct was observed.
Brachioradialis Re-Routing for the Restoration of Active Supination and Correction of Forearm Pronation Deformity in Cerebral Palsy

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

A brachioradialis muscle rerouting procedure was used to restore active supination in five children with cerebral palsy and a pronation deformity. Following release and lengthening of the pronator quadratus and pronator teres muscles, respectively, the brachioradialis tendon was divided as a Z plasty and the distal part of the tendon was passed through the interosseous space in a dorsal to palmar direction, and then sutured to its proximal end. The procedure resulted in a gain of 81° of active supination.
The air and noise situation in the alpine transit valleys of Fréjus, Mont-Blanc, Gotthard and Brenner

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

The environmental consequences of road transport with regard to air and noise in the transit valleys of Fréjus, Mont-Blanc, Gotthard, and Brenner have been analysed and compared with each other for the year 2004. In respect of the share of transport passing through the Alps in transport as a whole, there are in part considerable differences between the valleys under investigation as well as within the individual valleys. The air pollution produced per emission unit of road transport is two to three times higher than in the open country, mainly because of the topography and the climate. At numerous monitoring points, the thresholds for the air pollution were exceeded. With regard to noise, the valleys are affected equally bad: The “amphitheatre effect” carries the noise to the higher reaches that would not be exposed to so much acoustic irradiation if the source of noise was situated at the same distance in the open country; furthermore, protection from the noise reflected by the slope is difficult. In aggregate, all transit valleys under investigation can be considered as sensitive regions.
Disorder points of the IRF and checkerboard Potts models

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

Conditions are given for a general 'interactions-round-a-face' (IRF) model in statistical mechanics to have a disorder point, and expressions obtained for the free energy and intra-low correlations. These are applied to the checkerboard Potts model, thereby verifying a recent conjecture by Jaeckel and Maillard (1984).
The Limitations of Our Knowledge About Social Influences on Memories of Sexual Abuse over the Long Term

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

Summary Fagin, Cyr, and Hirst provide an informed and insightful application of the social memory literature to the important question of how memories of sexual abuse may be re‐shaped, both over the short term and long term, by communication with others, as well as with oneself. In the following commentary, we outline several respects in which we believe that the application of this literature to memories of sexual abuse, particularly over the long term, is still open to debate. In particular, we focus on induced forgetting and social contagion for such memories, as well as the application of the social memory literature to intrusive involuntary memories of trauma. Where applicable, we offer suggestions for future research that may contribute towards addressing the limitations of the existing literature. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Decline in Breast-feeding: What are the factors responsible?

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Objective: Breast-feeding is on decline (1,2). The objective of this study is to determine factors responsible for discontinuation of continued breast-feeding among mothers. Design: Community-based, Descriptive and cross sectional household survey. Place and Duration of Study: This study was carried out in different localities of urban area of city, Dera Ismail Khan during month of July 2003. Subjects and Methods: It is cross-sectional study, interviewing one hundred and seventy six samples consisting of mothers who discontinued breastfeeding before 2 years. Questionnaire was constructed on basis of focuss group discussion. Informations was collected and then analyzed. Statistical Analysis: Descriptive statistical methods. Results: The result of this mini-survey showed a major reason behind the discontinuation of breastfeeding at early period is having not enough milk in their breasts (54%). The second major reason say that their babies were not feeling well after receiving their breast milk (23%). Other reasons discovered in this study is that their babies were still feeling hungry after breast fed (10%), difficult to give enough time for lactation as doing work outside home (6%), fear of loss of physical attraction (4%) and milk dried up (3%). Conclusion: Breastfeeding is important determinant of nutritional status of child which in turn influences growth and development of child. In future, breastfeeding promotion campaign may include stress on continued breastfeeding and underlying barriers as explored in this study should be fully addressed.
