Family with domestic violence

What is domestic violence? When someone speaks of domestic violence what goes through your mind? Domestic violence, which is also known as domestic abuse or spousal abuse, is when a family member, partner or ex-partner attempts to physically or psychologically dominate another. But domestic violence has many forms other than physical violence. There are sexual abuse, emotional abuse, intimidation, economic deprivation, stalking and threats of violence (Domestic Violence). There are four types of violence within domestic violence: Common couple violence (CCV), Intimate terrorism (IT), violent resistance (VR), and Mutual violent control (MVC) (Johnson & Ferraro, 2000). There are three basic phases that characterized the cycle of violence: Honeymoon phase, Tension building phase, and Acting-out phase (Domestic Violence). Domestic violence effects the whole family in very many and different ways

Listing of Inherited Disorders in Animals (LIDA) for cats: an on-line relational database, using non-technical descriptions written by veterinary students

The Listing of Inherited Disorders in Animals (LIDA) for cats has implemented research-led approaches to learning and teaching and used these to showcase student output of high quality. The Listing of Inherited Disorders in Animals (LIDA) is a leading example of how learning outcomes can be aligned with assessment and the students’ deliverables then developed into a learning resource. Exemplifying the high standard of work students can produce when thoughtfully guided and advised, LIDA began as a library-based activity offered to Veterinary Science undergraduate students. The exercise was designed for students to develop an appreciation of the variety of congenital and inherited disorders in cats, and to reflect on the impact of these on cat welfare, describing their effects in clear, plain English. Much of the written work submitted by students for this assignment was incorporated, with their permission and acknowledgment, into the LIDA database. It now constitutes an online relational database, using non-technical descriptions, almost all credited to individual students

The relations among speed of information processing, intelligence, and strategy use

grantor: University of TorontoThis thesis examines the relation between IQ and inspection time (IT; the minimum time required to reliably identify a highly evident feature of a stimulus) among university students. Experiment 1 introduces a same/different letter discrimination task conducted with the IT procedure. The letter IT task was found to successfully eliminate the use of systematic strategies, such as apparent movement and flash cues; in the past, such strategies have made the IT-IQ correlation difficult to interpret. Results of Experiment 2 indicate that when tested over five consecutive days, the letter IT task is as reliable as the typical 2-line procedure. Experiments 3 and 4 begin examining the extent to which higher order cognitive processes affect performance on the letter IT task. Results of these experiments further support the view that cognitive factors such as attention continue to be at least partly responsible for IT performance, suggesting that the IT task is more cognitively complex than previously believed.M.A
