Abstract Projected sea‐level rise (SLR) is expected to cause shoreline erosion, saline intrusion into the water table and inundation flooding of beaches coastal areas. Areas most vulnerable these physical impacts include small, tropical low‐lying islands, which are often key habitat for threatened endemic species, such as sea turtles. Successful conservation species relies upon ability managers understand current threats quantify mitigate future species. This study investigated how might...

The construction, validation, and application of a device constructed in terms indigenous Sierra Leone culture to measure Traditional versus Western attitudes value change, is described. theoretical framework outlined some detail, together with the controlling for exposure influences, two different research studies.
This paper is concerned with theoretical and scaling problems involved in the development research application of Chinese T-M Scale, used to test Traditional-Modern consistency theory attitude change. considers that individuals exposed conflicting traditional modern cognitions resolve traditional-modern conflict either by compromise attitudes or alternate modes inconsistency reduction. The formed as a result this process, are held be more adaptive for satisfactory adjustment situations rapid...
Abstract Coral cays are low-lying (typically 2 mm grain size) and the relative abundances of foraminifera coral grains. Gravelly coral-dominated sediment is concentrated at reef margins, whereas facies on around leeward cay dominated by sand-size tests benthic foraminifera. Mud absent in sediments reflects prevailing high-energy wave-dominated setting as well a paucity mud producers. Benthic major component, constituting an average proportion 39% (range: 2–77%). Sediment derived from...
Sea turtles rely on reef islands for key parts of their reproductive cycle and require specific sediment characteristics to incubate eggs dig nests. However, little is known about the sedimentological sea turtle rookeries, how these affect vulnerability rookeries climate change, ecological implications different or altered turtles. Therefore, we described identified reef-building organisms seven most important used by northern Great Barrier Reef (nGBR) green population. We then reviewed...
The effects of urbanization on Aboriginal attitude change and unresolved attitudinal conflict were studied using 3 samples selected for varying degrees exposure to modern influences. These a semi-traditional Arunta sample, semi-modern Wallaga Lake modem Sydney sample. study was carried out in terms T-W consistency theory. An version the Scale developed test main hypotheses which generally confirmed. One conclusions drawn that extremely permissive socialization process lack political...

A developmental model is presented relating to the expected age trends in acquisition of Three-Dimensional Pictorial Perception (3DPPI as well related sex differences. The Hong Kong Chinese data support increase 3DPP with ages from three seventeen and male superiority after eight, thought stem increased testosterone output that age, stimulating development cholinergic inhibitory perceptual processes, interacting appropriate cultural/educational stimuli result higher 30PP Ss.

Hong Kong Chinese developmental results are presented to test cross-cultural theories relating changes in illusion susceptibility with age. The Muller-Lyer (M-L) and Sander-Parallelogram (S-P) data confirm the expected decrease age from 3-12 (Walter, 1942), later increase 21 due exposure a more sophisticated environment (Wapner Werner, 1957). also supported Piaget Morf's (1956) hypotheses regarding contiguous noncontiguous versions of Horizontal-Vertical (H-V) illustions.

Involuntary outpatient treatment (IOT) is used as a tool to promote stability among people with psychotic disorders. The authors drew on quantitative research surveys, qualitative studies, and official guidelines describe clinicians' views of IOT reported practices in England, Canada, Australia, New Zealand. Overall, clinicians prefer scheme that not overly bureaucratic clearly enforceable. Medication supervision are core elements, but most mandate only works can be delivered minimal...
The present experimental data provide some cross-cultural support for Bruner and Goodman's (1947) hypothesis about perceptual accentuation. 20 Hong Kong Chinese children from a lower socio-economic level overestimated valued coins more than 15 high level. two Primary Class VI samples used were matched education age, both spoke the Cantonese dialect. There was also evidence Tajfel's (1957) ‘interserial’ ‘intraserial effects’ particularly children, although similar trends apparent smaller...
