Effect of religiosity on the selection of life long mate in Pentecostal adult church attendees

This study was undertaken to examine whether a relationship existed between biblical teachings, religiosity, professional status, age and faith and mate selection among adult Pentecostal church attendees. A secondary finding of the study was the exploration of whether Pentecostals belief in their relationship with God and the Holy Spirit affected the kind of mate they chose as measured by the 5-point desirability scale. A modified version of the Gough\u27s Marital Preference Questionnaire was made available through the World Wide Web, including a link that solicited participation in the study. The researcher also made the survey available on a social interest website and by solicitations through electronic mail. A total of forty-seven persons responded, of which five declined to participate in the study. Forty-seven persons volunteered for the study that included thirteen males and thirty-four females. The findings of this study showed that faith was a significant variable and that females ranked faith higher than males although both groups identified this variable as desirable or at least somewhat desirable . There was no significant difference in professional status, age, biblical teachings and mate selection among the adult Pentecostals in this study

Gang Affiliation in Adolescence and Attachment in Infancy

According to Attachment Theory (Bowlby, 1969, 1973, 1980), infants become attached to their primary caregiver for protection and security. Gang literature reports that individuals join gangs for the companionship and protection a gang can offer (Hochhaus & Sousa, 1987-88; Friedman, Mann, & Friedman, 1975). The aim of this present study was to examine the proposition that individuals who eventually become gang members in adolescence have an insecure attachment to caregivers, a secure attachment to peers, and will have lower scores on constructs related to attachment. The participants in this study were 90 individuals, divided equally into gang and non-gang members. All participants were given four separate attachment measures to assess attachment classification (The Security Scale, The Inventory of Parent and Peer Attachment, The Behavioral Systems Questionnaire, and the Attachment Style Scale) for both parents and peers, as well as three measures of attachment correlates. There was minimal support for the proposed hypotheses relating to insecure attachment. The results are discussed from the perspective of attachment theory

The Interplay of Multiple Influences on the Development of Sexuality in Late-Adolescence—A Grounded Theory Study

The aim of this grounded theory study was to explore late-adolescents’ process of sexual development along with their information- and support-seeking behaviors in a Swedish context. Data were collected in semi-structured interviews with late-adolescents aged between 18 and 21 years in high schools in central Sweden. The results showed that late-adolescents’ sexual development involved seeking for knowledge, discussing norms and attitudes, learning through interactions, and growing through practice and experience. Information- and support-seeking behaviors were observed throughout their developent. This study highlights that, in order to be able to provide adequate help and support, healthcare professionals need to have an awareness of the changing information and support needs of adolescents in our constantly changing and diverse society.The Interplay of Multiple Influences on the Development of Sexuality in Late-Adolescence—A Grounded Theory StudypublishedVersio

GANs para detecção de anomalias em séries temporais : um estudo de caso

O problema geral da detecção de anomalias se manifesta em diversos campos e se relaciona intimamente com inúmeros problemas específicos. A formulação habitual totalmente não supervisionada gera dificuldades adicionais na obtenção de representações relevantes para o problema, e restringe os métodos aplicáveis. Nesse contexto, o grande sucesso recente de soluções baseadas em GANs na modelagem de distribuições e processos arbitrários a partir de dados não supervisionados suscita grande interesse na sua aplicação ao problema de detecção de anomalias. Com objetivo de abordar esse tema, a aplicação de soluções baseadas em GANs para detecção de anomalias no contexto não supervisionado em séries temporais foi estudada. A partir de uma revisão da literatura dos princípios gerais de GANs e detecção de anomalias, trabalhos recentes aplicando GANs à séries temporais foram compilados e apresentados. Em sequência, um método específico, TadGan (GEIGER et al., 2020), foi selecionado para experimentação e estudos aprofundados sob o formato de estudo de caso. Uma implementação foi obtida e verificada, e uma metodologia para demonstrar o funcionamento e os princípios gerais do método e da aplicação de GANs às séries temporais sobre dados sintetizados a partir de funções analíticas desenvolvida e executada. Avaliou-se, em sequência, possíveis limitações do método, extraídas da literatura e propostas com base nos ensaios executados. Explorou-se a instabilidade do treinamento, e os possíveis impactos da entropia e características do processo de interesse na capacidade de detecção de anomalias. Sinais foram então sintetizados com a adição de tipos específicos de anomalias, a fim de verificar a generalidade do método quanto à natureza das anomalias, e uma coleção de sinais reais de domínios diversos compilados do conjunto UCR Anomaly Benchmark, de maneira a serem aplicados ao método. Por fim, alterações no método foram propostas, com maneiras alternativas de quantificar a anormalidade a partir dos modelos obtidos, e brevemente avaliadas. Os resultados obtidos permitiram a verificação e corroboração da grande aplicabilidade de GANs para detecção de anomalias em séries temporais, bem como da utilidade de experimentação com dados sintéticos analíticos para desenvolvimento de compreensão e validação de modificações. A exploração das limitações efetuadas permitiu o desenvolvimento de intuições sobre seus impactos no método, e sugeriram a possibilidade de influência de características do processo alvo na performance, e as modificações propostas apresentaram potencial de ganhos de performance, e apontaram a necessidade de estudos futuros aprofundados para a investigação posterior.The general problem of unsupervised anomaly detection in time series has applications in several different fields and is related to many specific problems. In the context of time series data, however, expert knowledge in the target application is often required in order to extract meaningful features of the process, which can be expansive and at times not possible. The field of Deep Learning provided techniques to tackle such problems with the possibility of automatic features extractions techniques, and present great potential in time series anomaly detection. The need for labeled data, however, restricts the direct application of several methods. GAN-based solutions have recently presented great performance in modeling arbitrary data distribution in unsupervised problems, showing a considerable conceptual potential in anomaly detection. In that context, with the goal of exploring the potential and applicability of GAN-based solutions for time series anomaly detection, the literature was reviewed for GAN and anomaly detection principles, and recent works specifically on GAN-based methods for time series anomaly detection summarized and presented. In sequence, a method was selected, TadGan (GEIGER et al., 2020), due to the presence of the main principles of GAN application to anomaly detection and its good reported performance in public benchmarks, for detailed investigation and exploration. An implementation of the method was obtained, and verified over a partial reproduction of the original article results. A series of experiments over synthetic generated data from analytical functions were then proposed and executed in order to verify the method’s principles in a controlled environment, as well as to raise intuitions of possible limitations. Limitations raised by the literature were then explored, and a new limitation, based on the influence of the signal entropy in the method performance, was informally formulated and investigated. Time series containing different types of anomalies were then synthesized, in order to verify the generality with respect to the nature of the anomalies, and data from real applications compiled from the UCR Anomaly Benchmark, and applied to the method. Finally, some modifications and suggestions of new scores derived from the method were presented, implemented and superficially analyzed. The results allowed to verify the great potential of the application of GAN-based techniques for unsupervised anomaly detection, as well as the benefits from exploring the method in synthetic data. The experimentation showed evidence of the explored limitations, in particular the influence of the target process entropy, and the proposed metrics showed potential of improvements and the need for further investigations
