The modification of schizophrenic performance by drugs and by positive reinforcement
Thesis (Ph.D.)--Boston UniversityThe purpose of the present study was to determine whether
positive reinforcement, chlorpromazine and secobarbital alter
the ability of chronic schizophrenics to maintain sustained
attention and whether these affect their psychomotor functioning.
Eight male, chronic schizophrenic patients, with an age
range of 25-50 and in good physical health, served as the
subjects. All subjects had been hospitalized continuously
for at least three years. Medication was discontinued for
all subjects two months before the study started. In the
course of the study, each subject was tested twice under all
of the following conditions: no-drug, placebo, chlorpromazine
100 mg, chlorpromazine 200 mg, secobarbital 100 mg, secobarbital
200 mg. The drugs were given once weekly in single doses.
A testing day consisted of four sessions: 1/2, 1 1/2, 2 1/2,
and 3 1/2 hours post-medication. The different drug conditions
were administered according to a modified Latin Square design
with each active drug following each other active drug an equal
number of times. Half of the trials in each session were reinforced
by candy and cigarettes and the other half were not.
Two tests were employed: The Continuous Performance Test
(CPT), and the Subject Paced Test (SPT). On the CPT, a test
of sustained attention, a subject is required to respond, by
pulling a lever, to one of twelve letters which are randomly
exposed at the rate of 1.10 sec. for a period of .10 second.[TRUNCATED
ANALISIS DAN PERANCANGAN INFRASTRUKTUR KEAMANAN JARINGAN (Studi Kasus: Universitas Negeri Manado)
The network security has become more important since people spend most of their
time to get connected through computer network. The quick development of Internet
and internal networking requires the security towards internal network from external
network attacks or even by the internal network itself. Universitas Negeri Manado
(UNIMA) is one of the universities in North Sulawesi that has been implementing and
adapting information technology and communication. The related problems about
the issue of network security, such as, hacker activity, virus attacs, denial of service
attack (DoS), spyware, malware, and the other attacks may threaten the network
security anytime when there is no good management and control because of the
limitation of experts in that infrastructure and network security. In order to
overcome and prevent the network security problem, it needs to do the network
infrastructure analysis and to design the infrastructure that is suitable with the recent
and future demands by using Access/Distribution/Core Architectural Model as the
basic research development that will be done. The result of this research is the
programming of short term and long term network security
