Children's sociometric membership group and computer‐supported interaction in school settings

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

This study analyzed what kind of role sociometric status has in non‐real time computer conversations. Computer‐supported conversations were investigated by using two local area networks. Participants were 52 9 to 10‐year‐old schoolchildren selected from three sociometric strata: rejected, average, and popular. Children's preferred friends, school project companions, and spare time companions were considered separately. Furthermore, the role of achievement was studied. Results show that boys participate in conversations more actively than girls do. Rejected children are not at a disadvantage compared to popular children. Moreover, boys in the average popularity group engage in more active computer conversations than children in other groups. Most of the diversities are obtained when sociometric grouping is based on school project companions. This study shows that group working skills are more important for boys than for girls.
The Severity of Childhood Abuse and Neglect in Relationship to Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Among Female Sex Workers in the Netherlands

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

In this article, the relationship between childhood abuse and neglect and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in adulthood is examined in a sample of 123 female indoor sex workers in the Netherlands. It was hypothesized that the severity of childhood abuse and neglect is associated with the severity of PTSD. In this study, a substantial number of sex workers had experienced abuse, neglect, or both during childhood. Furthermore, a substantial number suffered from PTSD. Results show significant differences between sex workers suffering from PTSD and sex workers not suffering from PTSD, in the extent to which they have experienced abuse or neglect. Logistic regression analysis shows emotional abuse contributes significantly to the prediction of PTSD. Our findings suggest that the high rate of PTSD among sex workers might be partially related to childhood experiences, indicating that a number of sex workers might be traumatized before entering sex work. © 2013 Copyright Taylor and Francis Group, LLC.
Fast registration of laser scans with 4-point congruent sets - what works and what doesn't

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Abstract. Sampling-based algorithms in the mould of RANSAC have emerged as one of the most successful methods for the fully automated registration of point clouds acquired by terrestrial laser scanning (TLS). Sampling methods in conjunction with 3D keypoint extraction, have shown promising results, e.g. the recent K-4PCS (Theiler et al., 2013). However, they still exhibit certain improbable failures, and are computationally expensive and slow if the overlap between scans is low. Here, we examine several variations of the basic K-4PCS framework that have the potential to improve its runtime and robustness. Since the method is inherently parallelizable, straight-forward multi-threading already brings down runtimes to a practically acceptable level (seconds to minutes). At a conceptual level, replacing the RANSAC error function with the more principled MSAC function (Torr and Zisserman, 2000) and introducing a minimum-distance prior to counter the near-field bias reduce failure rates by a factor of up to 4. On the other hand, replacing the repeated evaluation of the RANSAC error function with a voting scheme over the transformation parameters proved not to be generally applicable for the scan registration problem. All these possible extensions are tested experimentally on multiple challenging outdoor and indoor scenarios.

Tropospheric chemical composition: Overview of experimental methods in measurement

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

It is now universally acknowledged that the composition of the atmosphere has changed with time over the millenia and will continue to change as a result of human activities. The linking of changes in atmospheric composition with changes in global climate and the possibility that climate change may be induced over the next few decades as a result of humankind's affects upon atmospheric composition have been the most recent impetus for an increased interest worldwide in atmospheric chemistry. Public concerns about urban smog, the Antarctic ozone hole, other secular changes in global ozone levels, acidic deposition, and now climate change have combined to stimulate a plethora of measurement programs aimed at providing the data base on atmospheric composition and chemical processes without which theoretical models cannot be properly tested. This review aims to give some insight into methods used by experimentalists to measure various aspects of tropospheric chemical composition. The field of atmospheric chemistry is far too large to review in a single article, so selected topics have been chosen which serve to illustrate a range of the common measurement methods used and the difficulties involved in quantitatively determining trace species at levels which can be below 1 part in 10 12 in the gas, aqueous, and aerosol phases.
Human Security and Afghan Refugee Resettlement in the US: A Case Study of Camp Atterbury

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

This study examines the application of human security theory in the humanitarian operation at Camp Atterbury, which provided temporary resettlement for over 7,200 Afghan evacuees in the State of Indiana as part of Operation Allies Welcome (OAW). Afghan evacuees were admitted to the US under humanitarian parole and experienced a transitional period since their arrival on August 2021. Using the three pillars of human security: freedom from fear, freedom from want, and freedom to live in dignity, conceptualized by the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) and Kofi Annan, this analysis explores the security measures, essential services, and accommodations implemented to support Afghan refugees. This research utilizes a case study approach focused on Camp Atterbury, using open-source data from official reports and archives, government documentation, media briefings, and records from many institutions and organizations involved in the camp’s six-month operational period. Key areas of evaluation include security measures, healthcare and educational programs, and legal assistance. The analysis reveals that Camp Atterbury implemented a comprehensive human security framework which ensured freedom from fear, freedom from want, and freedom to live in dignity. The findings suggest lessons and policy implications for future humanitarian operations.
Willingness, Confidence, and Knowledge to Work with Adolescent Sex Offenders: An Evaluation of Training Workshops

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Abstract Increasing attention is being paid to best practice in mental health sciences. One crucial aspect of this is the extent to which the mental health workforce has the knowledge and skills to implement state-of-the-art interventions. Recently, evidence has indicated that sexual offending often begins in adolescence, can be a persistent disorder when left untreated, and is associated with a range of other mental health problems in the perpetrator and subsequently in victims. A small number of evaluations of treatment programs are appearing but little work has appeared addressing the issue of how the workforce is equipped, or can be trained, to work with this challenging population. In this paper we present data on the effects of training on knowledge, skills, confidence, and willingness, to work with this client group. Trainees were 107 mental health workers who attended training workshops provided throughout Queensland, Australia by the Griffith Adolescent Forensic Assessment and Treatment Centre. Results showed that the measures developed for assessing training effects were change sensitive and valid. Training was associated with increases in self-rated skills, confidence, knowledge, and willingness to work with this population, and these changes were maintained for the follow-up sample.
Calcium Sources for Milk Production in Holstein Cows Via Changes in Dry Matter Intake, Mineral Utilization, and Mineral Source Buffering Potential

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Three supplemental sources of inorganic calcium (calcite flour, aragonite, albacar), each differing in particle size and rate of reactivity, provided .6 or .9% calcium in corn silage:grain (1:1 dry matter) diets of high producing dairy cows. All cows were fed calcite flour at .6% calcium during the first 4 wk of lactation. On d 29 of lactation 5 cows were assigned to each of the six diets. Peak milk yield paralleled dry matter intake and was higher when calcite flour and aragonite provided .9% calcium, intermediate when all sources provided .6% calcium, and lower when albacar provided .9% calcium. However, adaptations to calcium source and to particle sizes of a calcium source (.35 to 1190 mu) were made within 40 d by lactating Holsteins. Starch increased and pH decreased in feces of cows fed albacar. Increasing calcium in the diet provided more buffering capacity in the gastrointestinal tract. True absorption of calcium did not differ from linearity due to source when fecal calcium was regressed on ingested calcium but did vary as a function of diet percentage. Thus, calcium retention was increased when cows were fed .9 vs. .6% calcium. These data suggest that a slow reacting (coarser) inorganic calcium source should be fed at a higher amount to optimize feed intake and milk production.

Interleukin-8 Activates Breast Cancer-Associated Adipocytes and Promotes Their Angiogenesis- and Tumorigenesis-Promoting Effects

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

Increasing evidence supports the critical role of active stromal adipocytes in breast cancer development and spread. However, the mediators and the mechanisms of action are still elusive. We show here that cancer-associated adipocytes (CAAs) isolated from 10 invasive breast carcinomas are proinflammatory and exhibit active phenotypes, including higher proliferative, invasive, and migratory capacities compared to their adjacent tumor-counterpart adipocytes (TCAs). Furthermore, all CAAs secreted higher level of interleukin-8 (IL-8), which is critical in mediating the paracrine procarcinogenic effects of these cells. Importantly, ectopic expression of IL-8 in TCA cells activated them and enhanced their procarcinogenic effects both in vitro, in a STAT3-dependent manner, and in vivo In contrast, inhibition of the IL-8 signaling using specific short hairpin RNA, anti-IL-8 antibody, or reparixin suppressed the active features of CAAs, including their non-cell-autonomous tumor-promoting activities both on breast luminal cells and in orthotopic tumor xenografts in mice. IL-8 played also an important role in enhancing the proangiogenic effects of breast adipocytes. These results provide clear indication that IL-8 plays key roles in the activation of breast CAAs and acts as a major mediator for their paracrine protumorigenic effects. Thus, targeting CAAs by inhibiting the IL-8 pathway could have great therapeutic value.
The Creativity of Artificial Intelligence in Art

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

New technologies, especially in the field of artificial intelligence, are dynamic in transforming creative space. AI-enabled programs are rapidly contributing to areas such as architecture, music, the arts, science, and so on. The recent Christie&rsquo;s auction on the Portrait of Edmond has transformed the contemporary perception of AI art, giving rise to questions related to the creativity involved in this art. This research paper acknowledges the persistent problem, &ldquo;Can AI art be considered as being creative?&rdquo; In this light, this study draws on the various applications of AI, varied attitudes on AI art, and the processes of generating AI art to establish an argument that AI is capable of achieving artistic creativity.
3D Characterization of Spatiotemporally Coupled High Harmonic Attosecond Pulses

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

Abstract Manipulation of ultrafast laser fields across the temporal, spatial, and spectral domains can result in a spatiotemporally coupled structure of light, which cannot be mathematically decomposed into the product of spatial and temporal profiles. However, this spatiotemporal coupling effect may degrade the focusability of ultrafast laser pulses at large‐scale laser facilities. As ultrafast science has advanced from femtosecond to attosecond time scales, coherent attosecond optical pulses have become accessible through high harmonic generation, an extremely nonlinear optical process that produces an enhanced spatiotemporal coupling effect. Limited studies have explored the spatiotemporal coupling of high harmonic attosecond pulses owing to the lack of 3D characterization of attosecond optical fields. This study addresses this limitation by providing a 3D characterizing of the spatiotemporal optical field profiles of high harmonic attosecond pulses and investigating their physical spatiotemporal coupling effects. The spatiotemporal coupling of high harmonic attosecond pulses is quantitatively evaluated via a newly defined parameter that incorporates phase contributions in the time‐space domain, which may likely correlate with the inhomogeneous intrinsic atomic dipole phase determined by the driving laser intensity. This physical insight, combined with the 3D optical field metrology, can potentially benefit extreme UV nonlinear optics and attosecond dynamic imaging.
Responding to Crop Failure: Understanding Farmers’ Coping Strategies in Southern Malawi

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Malawi is a country in southern Africa facing high climate variability and many agricultural challenges. This paper examines farmers’ coping strategies for crop failure and the determinants of their choices using household level data from rural southern Malawi. The results highlight that farmers are not responding directly to climate variability, but to crop failure, which is influenced by climate stress, as well as other constraints, such as poor soil fertility and lack of agricultural inputs and technologies. The coping strategies adopted by households are mostly ex-post measures, including engaging in casual labor, small businesses and the sale of forest products. The main determinants of the adoption of these coping options are education, gender of the head of household, soil fertility and frequency of crop failure. This study concludes by recommending, among other things, that policies for the more efficient communication of climate change threats should emphasize the risk of crop failure. Furthermore, initiatives to assist households to better cope with climate change should take into consideration the local context of decision-making which is shaped by multiple stressors.
Conversion of Viramidine to Ribavirinin Vivoby Adenosine Deaminase and its Inhibition by 2′-Deoxycoformycin

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

Previously we reported that viramidine is a prodrug of ribavirin and that adenosine deami-nase catalyses viramidine deamination to ribavirin in vivo. This in vivo study explores this prodrug conversion in rats and inhibition by a potent adenosine deaminase inhibitor, 2′-deoxyco-formycin. We found that conversion of viramidine to ribavirin was viramidine dose-dependent in rat plasma. A single intravenous dose of 0.25 mg/kg 2′-deoxycoformycin suppressed orally administered viramidine conversion to ribavirin in plasma by 50%. The inhibition was 2′-deoxycoformycin dose-dependent and a single dose of 2 mg/kg decreased the ribavirin/viramidine area under the concentration—time curve between 0 h and 6 h ratio by 2.5-fold. These findings provide strong evidence that adenosine deaminase plays a major role in converting viramidine to ribavirin in vivo.
Gender and Theomorphic Signs of the "Earth-Mother" Mythologeme in Russian Linguistic Culture

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

The research featured the "Earth-Mother" mythologeme within the "Earth" macroconcept structure. Earth-Mother is a well-known mythologeme widely distributed in different cultures. The present study was based on the National Corpus of the Russian Language and employed descriptive and conceptual analyses. The mythologeme proved to be embodied in the language as a whole set of metaphors that implement codes of Russian linguistic culture. They include vital, somatic, anthropomorphic, and theomorphic metaphors. The linguistic concept of Earth appeared to have the following cognitive signs: mother; caring parent; bestowal / benefactor; wet-nurse; parent; wife; mistress; lady; goddess. The theomorphism of the Earth concept was proved by its status as "the wife of God" expressed by the language formula "Mother-Wet-Earth". This name reflects the beliefs of the ancient Mokosh cult. The gender and theomorphic characteristics of the Earth-Mother overlap. As a result, the demiurgic act of creation is described by the metaphor of birth. After the adoption of Christianity, the name of the Virgin Mary began to be used instead of the name of the Mother-Wet-Earth. Moreover, the function of birth as an act of creativity was found to be preserved in the language consciousness of the Russian people. The research identified several clusters of images of the Earth-mother in the modern Russian language culture that can be classified as folklore, mythological, religious, and linguacultural.
Updating ‘stockpiling as resilience’ in the context of the cost-of-living crisis: tracking changes in resilience strategies in the U.K

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Using the seven resilience strategies identified in the previous paper entitled "Stockpiling as Resilience," this study offers an update on the previous study 1 year later with interviews with the same households. The first paper was the result of interviews with 19 households held between April and May 2020 across the UK, and explored how these households managed lack of access to food during the COVID-19 lockdowns. This paper presents the same participants' experiences following the UK lockdowns in the context of the sharp rise in the cost-of-living in the UK Taken together, both phases of interviews bring into clear relief the influences affecting the UK food system, one characterized by increasing inaccessibility of food. This follow-up paper establishes that four of seven resilience strategies are still actively used, whereas three have become unnecessary. Two further themes are made salient in the interview data: weight management and convenience. Overall, this paper acts as a preliminary investigation into strategies that households are likely to utilize in the coming months and years in the context of the cost-of-living crisis.

Optimal scheduling and real time voltage control method for unbalanced distribution systems

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

This paper presents an optimal scheduling and real time voltage control of tap changing transformers and converters interfaced with Distributed Generators (DGs) in unbalanced three-phase distribution systems. The DGs considered in this paper are supposed to be Photovoltaic (PV) generators, due to the growing demand of renewable energies. However, high penetration of DGs may cause considerable voltage fluctuations and deviations from the statutory limits. Thus, based on predicted values of load demand and PV generation, a set of voltage references of tap transformers and DGs is optimized, using Genetic Algorithms (GA) optimization method, to reduce the losses while keeping the distribution voltage within an acceptable range. For that, the three phase power flow equations, which must be satisfied, are solved using Newton-Raphson method. The voltage control references are optimized for every preset period of time. However, in the meanwhile the voltage may fluctuate due to the PV power nature. Thus, a real time voltage control is applied on the DGs inverters exploiting their available reactive power based on the voltage drop. According to local voltage measurements at each node containing DG, fuzzy logic controllers adjust the voltage references of the optimal schedule. Twenty-four-hour data are used to simulate a 14-bus distribution system with unbalanced three-phase loads in 6 nodes to verify the effectiveness of the method.
PHOSPHORUS FERTILIZATION OF ALSTROEMERIA FOR CUT FLOWERS

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Alstroemeria xhybrida `Parigro Pink' divisions planted in 1 peat: 1 granulated rockwool medium were grown in a greenhouse maintained at 10 C minimum night temperature. Fertilizer solution containing 10 mM KNO 3 , 5 mM NH 4 NO 3 , 5 mM Ca(NO 3 ) 2 , 1 mM MgSO 4 , 20 μM Fe, 10 μM Mn, 20 μM B, 2 μM Zn, 1.5 μM Cu, and 1.0 μM Mo, plus 0, 0.15, 0.30, 0.6, 1.2 or 2.4 mM KH 2 PO 4 , with 0 to 1.2 mM K 2 SO 4 used to balance K + , was applied at 7 to 10 day intervals. Plants were irrigated with tap water as needed between fertilizer applications. Plants supplied 2.4 mM P produced approximately 20% more total flowers and 33% more grade 1 flower stems (total length at least 80 cm, and bearing 4 or more cymes per stem) than plants supplied 1.2 mM P, and more than 4 times as many grade 1 flowers as plants supplied 0.3 mM P or less. In leaf tissue samples comprising the uppermost leaves of flowering stems, P concentration tended to increase with P supply but to decrease with time. During the period from 60 to 120 days from first harvest, tissue concentrations in the range 3.3 to 4.1 mg P / g dry wt were associated with highest yield.
Fugue from Beethoven’s Piano Sonata Op. 110: About that Quaint ‘Poetic Ideas’

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

본 논문은 베토벤의 후기 피아노소나타 op. 110 마지막 악장의 ‘비탄의 노래’와 푸가를 시적 아이디어의 관점으로 바라본다. 그리고 그 악장에 스며있는 시적 아이디어에서 과거의 자취가 묻어남을 감지한다. 하지만 그 자취는 과거로의 회귀가 아니라 과거, 특히 바흐와의 동행이다. 푸가를 쓰기 때문이 아니라 ‘비탄과 (승화적) 위로’의 담론을 되짚기 때문에 그 동행이 성립한다. 그리하여 베토벤의 푸가 피날레는 이제 더 이상 소나타의 영웅적 승리가 아니라 더 높은 뜻의 명시, 그것에의 순응을 의미한다. 그곳으로의 길은 투쟁이 아니라 고통의 길이다. 이렇듯 op. 110에서 결실을 맺은 푸가에 대한 베토벤의 거듭된 고민은 그가 이전에 이루어놓은 새로운 푸가 전통에서 더 나아간 전진이었다. 푸가 본질의 포기와도 맞닿아 있는 전진이다. 베토벤은 그러나 대위법적 성부 조직, 푸가의 규칙 및 구성 등에 있어 바흐의 틀을 와해하지 않는다. 옛 유산에 스며있는 시적 아이디어의 기반 위에 세워진 베토벤의 푸가가 특별한 이유다.
