Self-regulated learning and intercultural competence
This mixed-methods study examines how 15 preservice teachers’ self-regulated learning (SRL) skills relate to their ICC development in a teacher education course. ICC was assessed using a standardised exam and an open-ended cultural dilemma. Participants’ SRL was assessed along 7 dimensions: planning, goal orientation, task strategies, self-efficacy, self-monitoring, self-evaluation, and adaptiveness. Quantitative analyses demonstrate that partici…
Cardiac and Mental Benefits of Mediterranean-Dash Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay (Mind) Diet plus Forest Bathing (FB) versus Mind Diet among Older Chinese Adults
(1) Background: The Mediterranean-DASH intervention for neurodegenerative delay (MIND) diet and forest bathing (FB) are first-line therapies for controlling hypertension. This study aimed to investigate the combined effects of a MIND diet and FB and MIND diet alone among older Chinese patients with hypertension. (2) Methods: Seventy-two participants aged >50 with stages 1 or 2 hypertension were randomly assigned to the MIND group ( n = 23), MIND-…
Learning to be silent
Prior research often attributed Chinese students’ classroom silence to their previous schooling experiences, yet rarely provides evidence of exactly how these experiences shaped students into silent learners. Through surveys and in-depth interviews with Chinese 6th graders, our study examined how students ‘learned to be silent’. Guided by the theory of planned behaviour (TPB) framework, our analysis showed that students’ non-participating behavio…
Differential predictors of ART adherence among HIV-monoinfected versus HIV/HCV-coinfected individuals
Although adherence is an important key to the efficacy of antiretroviral therapy (ART), many people living with HIV (PLWH) fail to maintain optimal levels of ART adherence over time. PLWH with the added burden of Hepatitis C virus (HCV) coinfection possess unique challenges that potentially impact their motivation and ability to adhere to ART. The present investigation sought to (1) compare ART adherence levels among a sample of HIV/HCV-coinfecte…
Los modelos basados en el Capm valoran adecuadamente los emprendimientos familiares
El presente artículo intenta mostrar la pertinencia del modelo VPN-CAPM (valor presente neto que adopta la tasa de descuento prescrita por el capital asset pricing model) para valorar emprendimientos familiares (EPF). Este análisis se realiza bajo dos ópticas: (a) la revisión de los supuestos del CAPM y su adecuación a las características de los emprendimientos, y (b) la eficacia en la prescripción de un conjunto de emprendimientos gestionados po…
Spontaneous Self-Concept Among Chinese Undergraduates in Hong Kong
We explored spontaneous self-concept among 227 Chinese undergraduates at a university in Hong Kong. Participants' responses to the Twenty Statements Test (TST) were compared with those of North American college students from the 1950s to the 2000s. The results showed that only 13.7% of the Chinese students described themselves in terms of social roles, status, or group membership. In contrast, 84.6% perceived themselves in terms of personality tr…
Confucian Political Philosophy
Confucianism is an ethics tied intimately with political philosophy. According to the text that is the most reliable guide to the teachings of Confucius, the Analects ( Lunyu ), he took the Mandate of Heaven ( tianming ) as a guide. The Mandate was formulated during the early period of the Zhou dynasty to justify the overthrow of the Shang dynasty and to legitimate the rule of the Zhou kings. The Confucian diagnosis of China's troubles suggests t…
The Structure of Witnessed Community Violence amongst Urban African American Mothers
The prevalence of witnessed community violence (WCV) amongst urban populations in the USA is striking. WCV can be harmful to one′s psychological health, and for mothers, the consequences may be more far‐reaching as their mental health affects parenting and child development. This study used telephone interviews ( n = 209) to explore the patterns and covariates of WCV amongst a sample of urban, African American mothers of infants. Mothers reported…
Wong and Higgins Respond
We thank Auld et al. for underscoring the important distinction between formal health education and health information dissemination. As a pilot program, the main objective of the Public Health in the Parks grants initiative1 was to assess the feasibility and acceptability of including public health–focused programs in park curricula. The response to our initiative was overwhelmingly positive, and in fact, we funded 5 new parks (US $5000 or less)…
Zoonotic Disease Risk Perception and Use of Personal Protective Measures among Wildlife Biologists
In November 2007, a National Park Service (NPS) wildlife biologist died from pneumonic plague after unprotected contact with an infected mountain lion. To begin to assess perceptions of zoonotic disease risk and attitudes toward personal protective measures among NPS biologists, two focus-group discussions were held in September 2008 with 12 biologists from 10 parks. Each facilitator-led discussion lasted approximately 75 minutes. Common themes w…
Park Rangers as Public Health Educators
Health education in nontraditional settings can supplement messages received in more traditional venues, such as schools and health care facilities, and can reach new populations. In 2007, the US National Park Service awarded one-time seed grants of $10 000 or less to 16 parks in 16 states to fund the development of public health–focused programs for visitors. These programs used a wide variety of formats and addressed topics such as air pollutio…
The Modifiable Areal Unit Problem (Maup)
Student engagement in distance learning environments
The purpose of this study was to improve the quality of students' online discussion of assigned readings in an online course. To improve the focus, depth, and connectedness of online discussion, the first author designed a text-focused Wiki that simultaneously displayed the assigned reading and students' comments side by side in adjacent columns. In the text-focused Wiki, students were able to read the assigned text in the left column and type th…
The Impact of Work-related Risk on Nurses During the Sars Outbreak in Hong Kong
Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) is a highly infectious disease, with high potential for transmission to close contacts, particularly among healthcare workers. This is the first systematic study investigating hospital nurses' physical and psychological health status and the kinds of healthcare used-stratified by the level of contact with SARS patients-during the 2003 outbreak in Hong Kong. Nurses in moderate-risk areas appeared to have mo…

Improving village‐level processing in developing countries
Many developing countries seek to increase trade, income, employment, and agricultural production in more isolated areas. Improvements in postharvest technology are often seen as a key element in such initiatives. This paper analyzes attempts to develop small‐scale, village‐level processing techniques for potatoes drawing on the recent experience in Peru and a number of other countries. Transfer of the technology through a rural development proje…
Understanding the Chinese Mind
These essays represent an attempt to understand the Chinese mind through its philosophy. The first volume of its kind, the collection demonstrates how Chinese philosophy can be understood in light of techniques and categories taken from Western philosophy. Eight philosophers, each of whom is a recognized authority in Western philosophy as well as in some area of Chinese philosophy, contribute chapters from perspectives that indicate the uniquenes…
Type a Behavior, Personality, and Sympathetic Response
This study examined, under two types of stress and during a typical workday, the moderating effects of the personality trait dependence/independence on the hemodynamic and catecholaminergic response in Type A individuals. During the mental stressor, Type As with strong dependency needs showed elevated heart rates and higher levels of epinephrine. During the physical stressor, they showed elevated heart rates and higher levels of norepinephrine. D…

COLONIZATION AND TRADE By the early fifteenth century, a new socioeconomic system already was evidently emerging in Western Europe. The system was capitalism at its commercial or mercantile stage. The main thrust of this new system of socioeconomic o…
Leibniz's Theory of Relations
D ISCUSSION of Leibniz's theory of relations has focused on the question of whether he thought that propositions about relations between substances are reducible to propositions containing nonrelational predicates only. Russell and Rescher have interpreted his doctrine that relations between substances are ideal mental entities as entailing the reducibility of relational propositions to nonrelational ones. Hintikka and Ishiguro have argued that t…
