  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Counseling Emerging Adults in Transition: Practical Applications of Attachment and Social Support Research Author: Lane, Joel A. Year: 2015 Today’s emerging adults (i.e., individuals between the ages of 18 and 29 in industrialized nations) navigate multiple significant life transitions (e.g., entering career life), and do so in a rapidly changing society. While these transitions pose psychological difficulties, a growing body of research has identified attachment and social support as two notably salient protective factors in emerging adulthood. The purpose of the present paper is to inform counseling work with emerging adult clients, particularly those in the midst of one or more transitions. This purpose is important given that the concept of emerging adulthood represents a relatively recent phenomenon that the counseling community has been slow to acknowledge. Specifically, this paper will review literature pertaining to emerging adulthood, attachment, and social support, and it will use this literature to provide clinicians with practical recommendations for counseling emerging adults.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: The cognitive learning styles of international students Author: Smith, Shelley L. Year: 1986 The purpose of this research was to examine the usefulness of David A. Kolb's Learning Styles Inventory (LSI) as a tool for categorization and analysis of systematic differences between American and International students. The research addressed five primary questions: 1. Are the learning styles of the International students tested different from those established by Kolb in previous studies of American students? 2. Do the learning styles of the International students tested differ among the various groups? 3. Are there differences among the groups of International students tested that can be related to gender? 4. Do the learning styles of the International students tested show any variation according to age? And if present, does that pattern differ in any way from patterns identified for American subjects tested? 5. Are the learning styles of the International students tested similar or dissimilar from the norms established by Kolb for American students in various fields of academic study?

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Die Rolle der Hexe in den Märchen der Brüder Grimm und Ludwig Bechsteins Author: Herrmann, Karin Ulrike Year: 1988 Fairy Tales have been an important part of peoples' cultural heritage since time immemorial. From a very early age on, children hear stories about witches, giants, dwarf's, and magicians which make up their first entry into the literary world. Only recently have scholars begun to research just how much influence these stories have on children and how they might have a different impact on girls than on boys. This thesis will investigate the world of fairy tales in relation to their historical context and their differing relevance for male and female readers. I will examine the fairy tales of the brothers Grimm and of Ludwig Bechstein because these three scholars count among the most important fairy tale narrators in the German-speaking region. I will limit my examination to the witch in fairy tales because of all the figures she seems to have the most impact on the audience.

This article examines the development of Real Talk, a new harm reduction-based, sexual health intervention for Black MSM. We first analyze the key themes from our formative research: (1) stigma, discrimination, and intersectionalities in the lives of Black MSM, (2) the importance of safe spaces and community provided by health promotion programs, and (3) moving beyond condoms in sexual health messaging. We then describe our agile design product development process and present an overview of the intervention's components and how they respond to the issues identified in the formative research. In conclusion, we discuss dissemination opportunities and challenges in an age of decreased prevention funding, pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), and the increased use of e-health promotion modalities.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Beliefs and Expectations of Family and Nursing Home Care Among Mexican-Origin Caregivers Author: Mendez-Luck, Carolyn A., Amorim, Clarice, Anthony, Katherine P., Neal, Margaret B. Year: 2017 This study examined perceptions of family care, nursing homes, and expectations of future care among 85 Mexican-origin women caregivers, some who lived in Mexico City and some who lived in East Los Angeles, California (East LA). Attitudes of Mexican-born women-living in Mexico City and in East LA-were more similar to each other than those of U.S.-born women. Most caregivers reported a preference for family care and had negative views of institutional care. In addition, despite the negative views about nursing homes, some caregivers expressed a willingness to seek nursing-home care for themselves so as to avoid burdening their children in the future. Findings lend support to the persistence of Mexican cultural values in this sample of Mexican-origin caregiving women, regardless of where they were born.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Gender Complex Curriculum for the Portland Public School District: Proposal Author: Hayes, Kathryn Year: 2014 GLSEN states that 43.9% of students felt unsafe in school to express their preferred gender in the year 2011. This lack of safety can be attributed to a variety of factors including peer harassment, harassment by teachers or staff, lack of support or resources, unintentionally offensive language in the classroom, and lack of gender variety in historical figures and role models. The first part of this project is an original gender-complex curriculum aimed at creating a safer space inside the classroom for elementary aged students who may identify or express as gender variant by encouraging these, and other supportive behaviors by both staff and students. This curriculum is modeled after several successful sexuality and gender education curricula (such as FLASH,Guidelines for Comprehensive Sexuality Education, and Lesson Plans for Building Allies of GLBTQ Youth) and will include activities to increase the awareness of gender and issues surrounding gender. The curriculum will also include a four-week schedule with instructions for conducting these activities in the classroom. The second part of this project is a manual for how to implement the curriculum in the classroom, specifically for use by an educational professional. This will include a background and introduction to various gender related issues and a glossary of terms to help assist the professional in understanding why this curriculum is important.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Translated poems of Hazel Hall Author: Nunez, Eva Year: 2006 As Oregon grew and prospered, it cultivated a new crop of writers, among them, Hazel Hall, born in 1886. Hall’s sensitive, lyrical poetry has been compared to Emily Dickinson’s. This extraordinary Portland poet was published and actually did gain a national reputation. But her short-lived poetic career lasted only from 1916 through 1924. She published her first poem at the age of thirty, her first book at thirty-five. In her peak publishing year of 1923, she had more than forty-five poems published in such magazines as Poetry, Dial, Harpers, Yale Review, The Nation, Literary Review, Lyric, Contemporary Verse, and Bookman. And such diverse critics as William Troy, Ridgely Torrence, Clement Stone, and Harriett Monroe found high praise for her poetry. Two collections of poems were published while she lived, Curtains (New York: John Lane Co, 1921) and Walkers (New York: Dodd, Mead Co., 1923). Dutton published her posthumous book, Cry of Time, in 1928, four years after her death.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Impact of Isothermal Aging and Testing Temperature on Large Flip-Chip BGA Interconnect Mechanical Shock Performance Author: Lee, Tae-Kyu, Chen, Zhiqiang, Guirguis, Cherif, Akinade, Kola Year: 2017 The stability of solder interconnects in a mechanical shock environment is crucial for large body size flip-chip ball grid array (FCBGA) electronic packages. Additionally, the junction temperature increases with higher electric power condition, which brings the component into an elevated temperature environment, thus introducing another consideration factor for mechanical stability of interconnection joints. Since most of the shock performance data available were produced at room temperature, the effect of elevated temperature is of interest to ensure the reliability of the device in a mechanical shock environment. To achieve a stablea interconnect pound in a dynamic shock environment, the interconnections must tolerate mechanical strain, which is induced by the shock wave input and reaches the particular component interconnect joint. In this study, large body size (52.5 x 52.5 mm(2)) FCBGA components assembled on 2.4-mm-thick boards were tested with various isothermal pre-conditions and testing conditions. With a heating element embedded in the test board, a test temperature range from room temperature to 100A degrees C was established. The effects of elevated temperature on mechanical shock performance were investigated. Failure and degradation mechanisms are identified and discussed based on the microstructure evolution and grain structure transformations.
