The Relationship Between Attitudes Toward Women, Rape Myth Acceptance, and Sexual Coercive Experiences of Male and Female Students at Religious and Public Colleges

Problem. The purpose of this study was to find the prevalence of sexual coercion and to explore relationships between sexual coercion, attitudes toward women, and rape myth acceptance of men and women on Seventh-day Adventist and public college campuses. Method. Three scales furnished scores for sexual coercive experiences, attitudes toward women, and rape myth acceptance. Multiple- and step-wise regression analyses were used to discover relationships between attitudes toward women, rape myth acceptance, and religious affiliation, college affiliation and sexual coercion. One-way analysis of variance was used to analyze the influence of age, religious affiliation, college affiliation, religion, type of coercion, and admitting coercion on attitudes toward women and rape myth acceptance. A total of 893 freshman and sophomore students was used in the final analysis. Results. Half as many SDA females reported being date/acquaintance raped as Protestant, Catholic, and no-religion groups. More SDA females reported being sexually molested before age 14 than did nonSDA females. For the male, female, and complete samples, religious and college affiliation were the strongest predictors for verbal, physical, and any coercion. The only exception was rape myth acceptance which more strongly predicted male physical perpetration. While all the female groups scored toward the nontraditional end of the AWS, SDA females were more traditional than were nonSDA females. Noncoerced females were more traditional than were verbally coerced females. Males who admitted perpetrating sexual coercion more strongly accepted rape myths than did nonperpetrators. Conclusions. Patriarchy within the SDA community seems to account for many of the traditional attitudes toward women which SDA women reported. SDA environments tend to be more closed, and public environments more open, which may account for less rape reported by SDA females. Furthermore, SDA females are socialized to be sexually avoidant. A closed environment with more patriarchy and sexual repression may create both sexual frustration and opportunity to sexually molest minors. Religious and college affiliation were barriers to sexual coercion in a closed SDA context. Finally, patriarchy, in the form of rape myths, still impacts male socialization, especially in those who physically perpetrate and admit perpetration

Effect of differentiating exercise guidance based on a patient's level of low back pain in primary care:a mixed-methods systematic review protocol

IntroductionLow back pain (LBP) is one of the health conditions that lead to the most disability worldwide. Guidelines aimed at management of LBP recommend non-invasive and non-pharmacological management, including patient education, advice to stay active and exercise therapy; however, the guidelines offer no recommendation as to the allowable level of pain during exercise or how specific levels of pain should be reflected in the stage and progression of exercises or activities. The purpose of this review is to study the effect of differentiation of exercise guidance based on the level of LBP in patients in primary care.Methods and analysisA systematic search will be performed on PubMed, EMBASE, The Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), PsycINFO, Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDRO), Cochrane and PROSPERO from their inception until September 2017. Published peer-reviewed human experimental and observational studies with quantitative or qualitative designs will be included. Two independent reviewers will identify papers by reviewing titles and abstracts. Papers passing the initial selection will be appraised by two reviewers, based on their full texts. Furthermore, the reference lists of included studies will be snowballed for identification of other relevant studies. Data will be extracted using a standard extraction sheet by two independent reviewers. Disagreements will be resolved by discussion and consensus with a third reviewer. The methodological quality of studies will be assessed using the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation risk of bias tool, or the Critical Appraisal Skills Programme. Results will be reported narratively. Search histories will be documented on EndNote X8 (Clarivate Analytics).Ethics and disseminationEthical approval for this review was not required as primary data will not be collected. The results will be disseminated through a peer-reviewed international journal and conference presentations.PROSPERO registration numberCRD42017074880.</jats:sec

The future of journalism: risks, threats and opportunities

Today journalism, as an industry and a profession, is characterised by everincreasing turbulence and change, for better and for worse. Profound transformations affect every aspect of the institution, including the economic health of journalism, the conditions and self-understandings of its practitioners, its ability to serve as a watchdog on concentrations of power, its engagement with and relationship to its audience, and its future prospects. This emerging and dynamic ecology can be viewed as a unique constellation of challenges and opportunities. For these reasons, the fifth Future of Journalism conference, held in Cardiff on 10–11 September 2015, focused on the theme of Risks, Threats and Opportunities. The conference saw over 120 papers from around the world presented across 34 sessions, with keynote speeches from Dan Gillmor, Stephen Reese and Jean Seaton. This introduction briefly outlines some of these key risks, threats and opportunities, drawing on work presented at the conference, as well as insights from the field of journal- ism studies

Endeudamiento y riesgo: Un modelo del premio por riesgo de la deuda externa peruana en el siglo XIX

Editada en la Universidad Carlos IIIEste artículo desarrolla un modelo empírico de premio por riesgo para la deuda extena peruana del siglo XIX. El modelo relaciona el premio por riesgo a un conjunto de variables macroeconómicas de deuda total y liquidez. Explica el éxito del gobierno peruano en los mercados financieros británicos, el comportamiento de los tenedores de bonos respecto al riesgo y cómo interpretaban la cambiante situación macroeconómica mientras la deuda crecía cerca a la fecha del cese de pagos. El uso del método de componentes principales ayuda a evitar problemas de multicolinealidad así como permite extraer la mayor información de las diferentes variables agriadas.This article develops an empirical model of risk-premium for the Peruvian external debt of die nineteenth century. The model relates the risk-premium to a set of macroeconomic variables of total indebtedness and liquidity. It explains the success of the Peruvian government in the British financial market, the behaviour of the bondholders towards risk, and how they interpreted the changing macroeconomic data as the debt was growing, near the default date. The use of the Principal components method helps to avoid multicolinearity problems as well as extracting most of the information from die different aggregate variables.Publicad

A thermosyphon-driven hydrothermal flow-through cell for in situ and time-resolved neutron diffraction studies

A flow-through cell for hydrothermal phase transformation studies by in situ and time-resolved neutron diffraction has been designed and constructed. The cell has a large internal volume of 320 ml and can operate at temperatures up to 573 K under autogenous vapor pressures (ca 8.5 106 Pa). The fluid flow is driven by a thermosyphon, which is achieved by the proper design of temperature difference around the closed loop. The main body of the cell is made of stainless steel (316 type), but the sample compartment is constructed from non-scattering Ti–Zr alloy. The cell has been successfully commissioned on Australia’s new high-intensity powder diffractometer WOMBAT at the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organization, using two simple phase transformation reactions from KAlSi2O6 (leucite) to NaAlSi2O6H2O (analcime) and then back from NaAlSi2O6H2O to KAlSi2O6 as examples. The demonstration proved that the cell is an excellent tool for probing hydrothermal crystallization. By collecting diffraction data every 5 min, it was clearly seen that KAlSi2O6 was progressively transformed to NaAlSi2O6H2O in a sodium chloride solution, and the produced NaAlSi2O6H2O was progressively transformed back to KAlSi2O6 in a potassium carbonate solution

Chronic myeloid leukemia stem cells are not dependent on Bcr-Abl kinase activity for their survival

Recent evidence suggests CML stem cells are insensitive to kinase inhibitors and responsible for minimal residual disease in treated patients. We investigated whether CML stem cells, in a transgenic mouse model of CML-like disease or derived from patients, are dependent on Bcr-Abl. In the transgenic model, following re-transplantation, donor-derived CML stem cells in which Bcr-Abl expression had been induced and subsequently shut off, were able to persist in vivo and re-initiate leukemia in secondary recipients upon Bcr-Abl re-expression. Bcr-Abl knockdown in human CD34+ CML cells cultured for 12 days in physiological growth factors achieved partial inhibition of Bcr-Abl and downstream targets p-CrkL and p-STAT5, inhibition of proliferation and colony forming cells, but no reduction of input cells. The addition of dasatinib further inhibited p-CrkL and p-STAT5, yet only reduced input cells by 50%. Complete growth factor withdrawal plus dasatinib further reduced input cells to 10%, however the surviving fraction was enriched for primitive leukemic cells capable of growth in long-term culture initiating cell assay and expansion upon removal of dasatinib and addition of growth factors. Together these data suggest that CML stem cell survival is Bcr-Abl kinase independent and suggest curative approaches in CML must focus on kinase-independent mechanisms of resistance
