What\u27s so bad about hooking up?: Factors predictive of more positive perceptions following a hookup

The purpose of the study was to examine factors predictive of a more positive perceptions following a hookup. The participants included 188 students from Illinois State University. Participants completed a demographics questionnaire, the Hookup Scale, the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, the Sexual Self-Esteem Inventory, religiosity questions, attitudes toward hooking up questionnaire, emotional reactions to hooking up questionnaire, and the Social Academic, Romantic, and Sexual Hooking Up Reactions Scale. The current study found that participants who reported high global self-esteem, high sexual self-esteem, and positive attitudes toward hooking up reported less regret, more positive reactions, and fewer negative reactions following a hookup

Is Response-to-Intervention Good Policy for Specific Learning Disability?

The reauthorized Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act (IDEA, 2004) established new provisions for specific learning disability (SLD) identification, including: (a) no longer requiring consideration of IQ-achievement discrepancy, and (b) permitting response-to-intervention (RTI) as part of SLD evaluation procedures. We discuss several policy implications of these new regulations by considering the original construct of SLD, the still “experimental” status and implementation of RTI, the closer alignment of RTI objectives with No Child Left Behind (NCLB, 2001) than former IDEA regulations, and the shift in focus from serving as a special education identification procedure to a general education instructional procedure. We conclude by proposing several recommendations for the appropriate inclusion of both RTI and psychometric evaluation within the continuum of SLD identification procedures

Veterinary Hygiene

The late Charles Henry Stange. said, During the past fifteen years, the prevention and control of the infectious diseases of animals has become a state and national problem, the work being organized on the basis of state and national cooperation. Livestock owners have available to them much information concerning animal diseases and the public is becoming increasingly conscious of the possibilities of disease transmission from animals to man. At present, there is little information available in the epidemiology of the contagious diseases of animals which would make their successful control and eradication very much easier. In the midst of the transition period in which we now find ourselves, it is apparent that veterinarians need considerable information, much of which may seem of a diverse nature, but all having a significant bearing on the most important problem confronting the veterinary profession today viz., disease prevention and control
