Benign Environmental Distractors Modulate the Anxiolytic Effects of Marijuana Administration in HumansMartens, Kristina Marie 01 December 2010 (has links)
One experiment examined the relationship between smoked marijuana and anxiety generated by the anticipation of a stressor paired with a salient, benign distractor. It was hypothesized that smoking one marijuana cigarette with an estimated &delta9-THC content of 26.25 mg, relative to placebo, would reduce anxiety generated by an anticipatory stressor paired with a benign distractor. In the experiment 14 marijuana users with a mean frequency of marijuana use per week of 2.07 (Range = 1-3) were administered one marijuana cigarette (active vs. placebo) per experimental session. A significant Drug × Session interaction was observed such that during the first experimental session, participants administered active marijuana reported non-significant decreases in negative affect, relative to placebo, while those administered active marijuana during the second experimental session reported significant increases in negative affect. This finding indicates that large individual differences in response to drug type (active vs. placebo) occurred within the participant sample. The results are discussed in terms of the influence of individual differences and contextual factors on the observed differential affective responses to &delta9-THC in order to identify which participants experienced the greatest benefit in negative affect reduction from &delta9-THC.

The purpose of this study is to find the motivation to use of Facebook, the social presence of Facebook and the popular network media now, and verifying how the major motivations on Facebook and social presence on Facebook and the other popular network media affect to the frequency of use on these platforms. It tested hypotheses through questionnaire. By the random sampling method, 202 returned online questionnaires in total were regarded as valid (64.74% response rate).
The findings have been summarized as the following:
1. The male to female ratio of Facebook users are close, the students are majority job, and many users are also workers.
2. If Facebook and internet community media characteristics are different, it will affect the user's social presence.
3. If there are Facebook users have different motivations to use, it won¡¦t influence the frequency of use of the Internet community media.
4. The higher level of social presence when the more biased nature of personal communication medium of the Internet community.

Elderly people's use of and attitudes towards assistive devicesYeh, Hui-Ching (Anita) January 2009 (has links)
People in developed countries are living longer with the help of medical advances. Literature has shown that older people prefer to stay independent and live at home for as long as possible. Therefore, it is important to find out how to best accommodate and assist them in maintaining quality of life and independence as well as easing human resources. Researchers have claimed that assistive devices assist in older people’s independence, however, only a small number of studies regarding the efficiency of assistive devices have been undertaken of which several have stated that devices are not being used. The overall aim of this research was to identify whether the disuse and ineffectiveness of assistive devices are related to change in abilities or related to the design of the devices. The objective was to gather information from the elderly; to identify what assistive devices are being used or not used and to gain an understanding on their attitudes towards assistive devices. Research was conducted in two phases. The initial phase of the research was conducted with the distribution of questionnaires to people over the age of fifty that asked general questions and specific questions on type of devices being used. Phase One was followed on by Phase Two, where participants from Phase One who had come in contact with assistive devices were invited to participate in a semi-structured interview. Questions were put forth to the interviewee on their use of and attitudes towards assistive devices. Findings indicated that the reasons for the disuse in assistive devices were mostly design related; bulkiness, reliability, performance of the device, difficulty of use. The other main reason for disuse was socially related; elderly people preferred to undertake activities on their own and only use a device as a precaution or when absolutely necessary. They would prefer not having to rely on the devices. Living situation and difference in gender did not affect the preference for the use of assistive devices over personal assistance. The majority strongly supported the idea of remaining independent for as long as possible. In conclusion, this study proposes that through these findings, product designers will have a better understanding of the requirements of an elderly user. This will enable the designers to produce assistive devices that are more practical, personalised, reliable, easy to use and tie in with the older people’s environments. Additional research with different variables is recommended to further justify these findings.

[en] METHODS FOR ASSESSMENT OF THE RADIO SPECTRUM USE EFFICIENCY / [pt] MÉTODOS PARA A AVALIAÇÃO DA EFICIÊNCIA DE UTILIZAÇÃO DO ESPECTRO RADIOELÉTRICOJOSE AFONSO COSMO JUNIOR 27 October 2006 (has links)
[pt] Nesta dissertação é proposto um novo método para a
avaliação da eficiência
de uso do espectro a ser aplicado para os sistemas de
telecomunicações pontoárea,
incluindo radiodifusão, e ponto-a-ponto. A definição
proposta para o índice
de eficiência é baseada nos aspectos técnicos, mas outros
aspectos que podem
influenciar na determinação da eficiência dos sistemas de
telecomunicações, como
os econômicos, sociais, políticos e estratégicos também
são discutidos. O método
é testado com dados reais de sistemas disponibilizados
pela Anatel e no sítio dos
prestadores de serviços de telecomunicações no Brasil. É
muito importante avaliar
a eficiência dos sistemas de telecomunicações, pois sendo
o espectro de
radiofreqüências um recurso limitado, pela tecnologia e
capacidade de
gerenciamento, a introdução de novos serviços de
telecomunicações somente será
possível com a substituição, pela realocação ou extinção,
de determinadas
aplicações menos eficientes. Apesar da regulamentação
nacional e internacional
constantemente referir-se à importância do uso eficiente
das faixas de freqüências,
não existe um método harmonizado de avaliação, o que
impede a verificação deste
aspecto pelos órgãos reguladores. As novas tecnologias e
as oportunidades de
desenvolvimento social que elas proporcionam demonstram a
necessidade da boa
gerência do espectro de radiofreqüências e de que cada uma
de suas porções seja
utilizada de forma eficiente e adequada a cada tipo de
aplicação. / [en] In this work a new method for the assessment of the
spectrum use efficiency
is proposed to be applied to point-area, including
broadcasting, and point-to-point
telecommunications systems. The proposed definition of the
efficiency index is
based in technical aspects, but other subjects that affect
the determination of a
telecommunications system efficiency, as economics,
social, political and
strategic issues are also discussed. The method is tested
with data of real systems
available from the Brazilian Regulatory Agency (Anatel)
and at the
telecommunications service providers web sites. It is very
important to assess the
telecommunications systems efficiency, because being the
radio spectrum a scarce
resource, limited by technology and management capacity,
the introduction of
new telecommunications services will only be possible by
replacement, refarming
or suppression of some less efficient applications.
Despite national and
international regulations usually refers to the importance
of efficient use of the
frequency bands, there is no harmonized assessment method
to be applied and
verified by the regulators. The new technologies and the
opportunities for social
development provided by them, bring to the light the need
for a good radio
spectrum management and how each part of it must be used
efficiently and
assigned properly for each type of application or
telecommunications service.

'n Linguistiese ondersoek na die tradisionele kleurterme van Noord-Sotho (Afrikaans)Kellerman, Esther Elizabeth 25 October 2004 (has links)
In this study a linguistic investigation of the traditional colour terms of Northern Sotho was carried out. The research comprised three separate phases. In all three phases two aspects were emphasised, namely, the nature of the concept underlying each colour term and the nature and extent to which the selection requirements of the term affected the antecedent. In the first phase, the definitions of selected colour terms, as given in three standard Northern Sotho dictionaries, were studied and compared. These dictionaries included: Pukuntšu, The New Sesotho Dictionary and the Groot Noord-Sotho Woordeboek. Special reference was made to (a) the description of colour as given in the definition, and (b) the selection requirements with regard to the antecedent. The concept “colour term” itself is problematic as the definitions of these terms encompass more than mere references to colour. When comparing the definitions of these terms in Northern Sotho dictionaries, however, little unanimity could be found regarding: (a) the the concept underlying the colour terms, and (b) the selection requirements of these terms in respect of the antecedent. In phase two, six mother-tongue speakers of Northern Sotho were interviewed. The descriptions of the colour terms provided by these respondents were then analysed in the same manner as that of the dictionaries. The informants were all professional people with notable linguistic ability and knowledge of livestock. An Electronic Data Base (compiled by the Department of African Languages, University of Pretoria) was consulted in the third phase of study. The objective of this phase was to collect data on the frequency of use of these colour terms and in light of this to make deductions on their selection requirements. Finally, a synthesis was made of the information collected during the three phases. As indicated above, this is a practical study falling within the ambit of the science of language-usage. At most it can be claimed that the conceptualisation of colour and the manner in which it is reflected in language, has a psycho-linguistic basis. As a result of the nature of the study, it could not always be carried out within a strict theoretical framework. / Dissertation (M A (African Languages))--University of Pretoria, 2005. / African Languages / unrestricted

Mediace v českém právním řádu a komparativní analýza se zahraniční právní úpravou / Mediation in the Czech legal framework and comparative analysis with foreign legislationBřízová, Iva January 2020 (has links)
In the diploma thesis titled "Mediation in the Czech legal framework and comparative analysis with foreign legislation", the author aims to analyze how the basic principles of mediation are legislated in the legal systems of the Czech Republic, the Federal Republic of Germany and the United States of America. By applying a combination of methods of quantitative and qualitative comparative analysis, the author deals with the question of how the legal regulation of mediation affects the usage of court-ordered mediation and the success of such a mediation process. The author focused mainly on the legal grounding of the main principles of mediation, the historical and cultural context of their origin and the form of the mediation process for court-ordered mediation. The author based her work on the authentic wording of legal regulations and used officially available data for the quantitative comparative analysis, which related the usage of court-ordered mediation in the analyzed countries.
