The decision to intervene in a potential drunk driving situation is examined survey administered two upper-division university classes. In this sample of 192 students, 61 percent whom are female and 53 persons color, 51 report having intervened at least once the last year. A stage model making developed by Latane Darley (1970) was modified reflect DUI used interpret data. We tested set hypotheses examining four-step decisionmaking process intervention individual situationalfactors that...
The present study evaluates the treatment acceptability and preference for behavioral interventions feeding problems with parents of children Autism Spectrum Disorder other developmental disabilities. impact severity on was also evaluated by comparing results who responded respect to a vignette child food refusal those selectivity. Overall, rated differential reinforcement alternative behavior as most preferred acceptable strategy across both selectivity groups. Escape extinction least...
Abstract We report the analysis of additional multiband photometry and spectroscopy new adaptive optics (AO) imaging nearby planetary microlensing event TCP J05074264+2447555 (Kojima-1), which was discovered toward Galactic anticenter in 2017 (Nucita et al.). confirm nature light-curve anomaly around peak while finding no feature this event. also presence apparent blending flux absence significant parallax signal reported literature. The AO image reveals contaminating sources, making it most...
Context: We report the discovery of TOI-519 b (TIC 218795833), a transiting substellar object (R = 1.07 RJup) orbiting faint M dwarf (V 17.35) on 1.26 d orbit. Brown dwarfs and massive planets short-period orbits are rare, but more have already been discovered than expected from planet formation models. is valuable addition into this group unlikely systems, adds towards our understanding boundaries formation. Aims: set out to determine nature Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS )...
Hereditary spastic paraplegias (HSPs) are characterized by progressive spasticity and weakness in the lower extremities that result from length-dependent central to peripheral axonal degeneration. Mutations non-imprinted Prader-Willi/Angelman syndrome locus 1 (NIPA1) transmembrane protein cause an autosomal dominant form of HSP (SPG6). Here, we report transgenic (Tg) rats expressing a human NIPA1/SPG6 mutation neurons (Thy1.2-hNIPA1G106R) show marked early onset behavioral electrophysiologic...
We report the discovery of TOI 263.01 (TIC 120916706), a transiting substellar object (R = 0.87 RJup) orbiting faint M3.5~V dwarf (V=18.97) on 0.56~d orbit. set out to determine nature TESS planet candidate using ground-based multicolour transit photometry. The host star is faint, which makes RV confirmation challenging, but large depth suitable for validation through Our analysis combines three transits observed simultaneously in r', i', and z_s bands MuSCAT2 imager, LCOGT-observed light...

Information technology skills are becoming more and important to the success of students teachers. These acquired in many ways, including education, home use computers, on-the-job training. Literature has shown that computer access integration computers into curricula have been significantly lower student populations from ethnic minorities K-12 public schools. Studies also ethnic-minority households own at a rate than majority households. However, universities seldom stop determine if...
Research examining the age of diagnosis autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and its influencing factors mostly originate from developed Western countries, providing little to no systematic information about understanding management ASD in rest world. The present exploratory study examined influence child family characteristics on Saudi Arabia. median at was 3.0 years associated with some characteristics. A 1 year increase child's a 0.1 (95% CI 0.05, 0.12). Children who did not respond their name...
Haiti has the highest prevalence of HIV/AIDS in Caribbean. Before 2010 earthquake, Haitian women bore a disproportionate burden HIV/AIDS, had lower HIV knowledge, less capacity to negotiate for safer sex, and limited access testing risk-reduction (RR) counseling. Since 2010, there been an increase sexual violence against women, characterized by deliberate vaginal injuries non-intimate partners, increasing victims' risk sexually transmitted infections including HIV/AIDS. Needed is adaptation...
The decision to intervene prevent an inebriated peer from driving drunk is examined in a survey administered one lower division and two upper university classes. Of the 303 students who had been situation which someone was too drive, 65% reported having intervened. Differences likelihood of intervention are through log-linear analysis age, race sex respondent potential driver. seen as naturally occurring form helping behavior. Two hypotheses derived literature on behavior examined: (1)...
We tested the cross‐national similarity of additive and interactive variants Contingent Consistency Hypothesis in regard to antinuclear activist behavior. predicted that attitudinally consistent behavior is influenced (a) more by specific than general attitudes, (b) facilitation between normative support personal attitudes an manner, (c) a fundamental or basic social‐psychological process can be demonstrated people from different countries cultures. These three hypotheses were for (pacifist)...
The types and frequency of interventions used to prevent drunken driving across four different locations is examined. A drinking survey 247 students provided 97 subjects who indicated that someone had attempted them from under the influence (DUI). Results suggest location modestly influences type intervention, more assertive intervention has a higher success rate private or intimate gatherings promote less interventions. Given failure deterrence, further understanding how, why, when does not...
The recent advances in neural network-based machine learning algorithms promise a revolution prediction-based tasks variety of domains. Of these, forecasting user activity social media is particularly relevant for problems such as modeling and predicting information diffusion designing intervention techniques to mitigate disinformation campaigns. Social seems an ideal context applying network techniques, they provide large datasets challenging prediction objectives. Yet, our experiments find...
Objective: This study examined personal characteristics and contextual factors among college students who had made an attempt to prevent someone from driving drunk. The was guided by findings prior research the arousal/cost-benefit model of helping. Both passive assertive interventions their efficacy were considered. Method: Questionnaire data obtained 388 students: 206 (68%) intervened in a DUI situation (63% women). Self-reports person (e.g., moral obligation), perceived danger) type...
Using a nuclear attitudes questionnaire (NA Q) developed by Newcomb (1986), we attempted to replicate the factor structure found in studies of Americans. Data were collected from American, British, and Swedish students. We predicted that (1) fears regarding issues cross national boundaries; (2) women are more concerned about than men; (3) salient are, fear students feel. Confirmatory analyses revealed hypothesized was similar across three student groups. Two-way variance some mean...
Abstract Designing Effective Project-based Learning Experience using Participatory Design ApproachIn recent years, (PBL) has been widely adopted in engineering educationas a useful pedagogy to enhance student motivation, improve understanding of engineeringprinciples, and develop practical design skills. However, it is also well recognized that theeffectiveness PBL depends on the way implementation as characteristics thelearners. In 2013, California State University Los Angeles (CSULA)...
Introduction Sepsis is the leading cause of hospital mortality nationwide. Early recognition has been shown to improve outcomes. This research investigates use monocyte distribution width’s (MDW) ability detect sepsis and clinically correlate outcomes in COVID-19 infection. Methods a retrospective, single-center cohort study adult patients with confirmed requiring admission over 14-month period (September 2020 November 2021). MDW was evaluated as cytomarker predict disease severity,...
Objective: Survey research suggests that there are few, if any, gender differences in the types and frequency of informal drunk-driving intervention. This contrasts sharply with laboratory studies helping behavior which report men more likely to help than women. The present study examined success rate several different intervention for women men. influence intervenor intoxicated individual intervenor's familiarity on use interventions were also examined. Method: Students (N = 388) at a major...
