The interpersonal psychological theory of suicide (IPTS) was used to examine suicidal thoughts and behaviors among 129 transgender gender nonconforming (TGNC) youth. Youth were categorized according their identities: female male (FTM), (MTF), different (FTDG), (MTDG). Higher percentages ideation reported by FTDG FTM youth; higher attempts MTDG Perceived burdensomeness thwarted belongingness significantly related and/or attempts. Experiences painful, provocative, harmful events acquired...

Participants were 143 sixth-grade who divided into 2 groups (experimental n = 71, control 72), experimental group receiving PSD treatment. responded times Siperstein’s Adjective Checklist and Block’s Children’s Attitudes Toward Integrated Physical...

The purpose of this study was to examine parental responses transgender and gender nonconforming [TGNC] youths' identities explore associations parent support with abuse, depressive symptoms, LGBT-identity disclosure stress. TGNC youth (N = 129), ages 15–21 (M 18.00, SD 1.74), completed surveys (2011–2012); experiences transfeminine (TF; n 58) transmasculine (TM; 71) were analyzed separately. Among mothers TF youth, 42.0% initial 45.3% current positive; among fathers, 30.0% 36.0% positive....

Framed by the concept of critical language awareness, this study validated a survey to assess teachers' ideological beliefs and attitudes toward English learners (ELs)/multilingual (MLs) in content classrooms. Employing exploratory factor analysis (EFA), identified three major constructs from relatively large sample across U.S. (N = 307). The further examined whether differences can be explained teacher's primary role (ESOL vs Content), teaching grade (elementary secondary), subject (STEM,...

Item response theory (IRT) has been increasingly utilized in psychiatry for the purpose of describing relationship among items psychiatric disorder symptom batteries hypothesized to be indicators an underlying latent continuous trait representing severity disorder. It is common find zero-inflated (ZI) data such that a large proportion sample none symptoms. argued standard IRT models symptoms may problematic due unipolar nature many clinical traits. In current article, authors propose address...

To evaluate the association between severity of endometriosis and preoperative neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) serum level cancer antigen 125 (CA 125).Data were obtained from medical records 419 patients who underwent laparoscopic conservative surgery for ovarian endometrioma April 2005 March 2013. Each patient's complete blood count was recorded score assessed.The not associated with either NLR or CA 125. The negatively related to hemoglobin, hematocrit, mean corpuscular volume,...

The purpose of this study was to examine the variables associated with attitudes students without disabilities toward inclusion in physical education setting as a result taking part Paralympic School Day (PSD) programme. Participants were 143 sixth-grade students, divided into 2 groups (experimental n = 71, control 72), experimental group receiving PSD treatment, and regularly scheduled classes. responded twice Siperstein's Adjective Checklist Block's Children's Attitudes Toward Integrated...

Adaptive learning systems have received an increasing attention as they enable to provide personalized instructions tailored the behaviors and needs of individual learners. In order reach this goal, it is desired assessment system, monitoring each learner's ability change in real time. The Elo Rating System (ERS), a popular scoring algorithm for paired competitions, has recently been considered fast flexible method that can assess progress online environments. However, argued standard ERS...

Pregnancy is a major risk factor of thromboembolism, and the patients with preeclampsia (PE) are known to have higher thromboembolic complications than normal pregnant women. D-dimer well-established laboratory marker for screening venous thromboembolism (VTE), but concentrations d-dimer tend increase physiologically in women throughout gestational age. We performed this study evaluate clinical significance hypertensive disorders (GHD) according severity.Retrospective cohort was one...

The objective of this study was to determine whether prenatal ultrasound findings and cord blood N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT pro-BNP) cardiac troponin T (cTnT) can predict neonatal mortality in single ventricle congenital heart disease.The association between findings/cord biomarkers evaluated neonates delivered with a diagnosis disease. presence suggesting systemic outflow obstruction (ascending aorta < 2.5 percentile) or ventricular dysfunction (the cardiomegaly hydrops)...

Efficient and interpretable spatial analysis is crucial in many fields such as geology, sports, climate science. Tensor latent factor models can describe higher-order correlations for data. However, they are computationally expensive to train sensitive initialization, leading spatially incoherent, uninterpretable results. We develop a novel Multiresolution Learning (MRTL) algorithm efficiently learning patterns. MRTL initializes the factors from an approximate full-rank tensor model improved...

The purpose of this study was to address contact theory as the theoretical basis Paralympic School Day (PSD) disability awareness program using a newly created fidelity implementation instrument (fidelity criteria) measure single construct (contact theory), seeking control and explain manner in which PSD satisfied four components theory. Participants were 145 sixth-grade students who took part PSD. Results determined that intervention supported theory, with statistically significant...

This study explored whether the Dating Anxiety Scale for Adolescents (DAS-A), which was originally developed in United States to assess dating anxiety adolescents, is appropriate use samples of young adults from Poland and States. The factor structure, measurement invariance across country, gender relationship status, degree precision latent levels DAS functioning individual items, convergent validity were examined a sample 309 Polish 405 U.S. adults. confirmatory analysis (CFA) supported...

Fab-level discrete-event simulation is an important practical tool for the analysis and optimization of semiconductor wafer fabricators. In such facilities, a clustered photolithography (CPT) by far most expensive often capacity bottleneck. this paper, we consider linear, affine, flow line, detailed models CPTs use in fab-level simulation. We develop extensions to affine line demonstrate exactly how convert raw CPT data into various models. Using model based on industry as baseline,...

The purpose of this study was to determine if taking part in a Paralympic Skill Lab (PSL) would have positive impact on the cognitive attitudes college students toward inclusion individuals with disabilities lifetime fitness and sport activities, including campus recreation. final sample comprised 192 students. were enrolled course sections that randomly assigned experimental control groups. Adjective Checklist used collect data. Results indicated when pretest attitude score controlled,...

In Erikson's model of development, intimacy and isolation denote polar outcomes psychosocial crisis in young adulthood. Drawing on this model, the present study used three-wave longitudinal data to examine patterns success lack resolution Eriksonian relation romantic loneliness as a negative outcome crisis, compared across Poland United States. The were collected from Polish U.S. individuals aged 18-40 for Wave 1 (N = 763). Four identified: (a) stable partnered status; (b) single (c)...

In semiconductor wafer fabricators (fabs), clustered photolithography tools (CPTs) are often the bottleneck. With a focus on fab-level simulation, we propose new class of equipment models for CPTs called exit recursion (ERMs). These inspired by concepts from flow line theory. We describe intuition behind ERMs and provide parameterization simulation equations. data-driven empirical develop three types based different data perspectives: 1) tool log; 2) 3) lot log. To assess quality proposed...
