    International Aquaculture Curated Database

    No full text
    The International Aquaculture Curated Database (IACD), created by the AquaFish Innovation Lab, consists of 542 articles, written by 1706 authors in 121 journals, all of which were published between 1983 and 2016. The IACD draws from peer-reviewed papers whose research was supported by four separate international aquaculture programs, which were developed by Hillary Egna including: 1. Pond Dynamics/Aquaculture CRSP (1982-1996); 2. Aquaculture CRSP (1996-2008); 3. AquaFish CRSP (2006-2013); and 4. AquaFish Innovation Lab (2013-Present). The IACD was compiled by two AquaFIsh Innovation Lab faculty and a student who reviewed both electronic and hard copies of journal articles. Every publication since 1983 was recorded with relevant publication information, including full names, gender of authors, and author position, with the percentage of unknowns being less than 1%. Gender of authors was recorded by Egna from having a personal connection to the author or by the lead authors themselves. For privacy reasons, some of the publication details were removed

    Duality of Function: Activation for Meaningless Nonwords and Semantic Codes in the Same Brain Areas

    No full text
    Studies of the neural substrates of semantic (word meaning) processing have typically focused on semantic manipulations, with less consideration for potential differences in difficulty across conditions. While the idea that particular brain regions can support multiple functions is widely accepted, studies of specific cognitive domains rarely test for co-location with other functions. Here we start with standard univariate analyses comparing words to meaningless nonwords, replicating our recent finding that this contrast can activate task-positive regions for words, and default-mode regions in the putative semantic network for nonwords, pointing to difficulty effects. Critically, this was followed up with a multivariate analysis to test whether the same areas activated for meaningless nonwords contained semantic information sufficient to distinguish high- from low-imageability words. Indeed, this classification was performed reliably better than chance at 75% accuracy. This is compatible with two non-exclusive interpretations. Numerous areas in the default-mode network are task-negative in the sense of activating for less demanding conditions, and the same areas contain information supporting semantic cognition. Therefore, while areas of the default mode network have been hypothesized to support semantic cognition, we offer evidence that these areas can respond to both domain-general difficulty effects, and to specific aspects of semantics.I paid the open access fee, so this article should be "open access" from the journal.Peer reviewe

    How womanly can a woman be — analysis of Hillary Rodham Clinton’s media imageThe world of politics did not welcome women until quite recently. Yet, the situation has changed and there are more and more star women among American politicians. Hillary Rodham Clinton, the former First Lady and the 67th United States Secretary of State serving in the administration of President Barack Obama, definitely is one of them.The major role that Ann Romney played in the 2012 presidential campaign proves how important a factor of political success in the USA are politicians’ wives. They are the key “tool” used for improving their public image. Moreover, it is not too uncommon that a politician’s wife is one of the main contributors to her husband’s victory. But are female politicians also expected to do their own laundry and iron their own shirts, just like Mitt Romney did?The aim of the author of this article is to analyze the image of Hillary Rodham Clinton in American media and to try to answer the question, whether the 67th United States Secretary of State owes her unprecedented success to manifesting traditionally male traits or maybe she has become successful as a woman.How womanly can a woman be — analysis of Hillary Rodham Clinton’s media imageThe world of politics did not welcome women until quite recently.

    Modeling Corruption in Democratic States: Using Coordination Games to Explain Observed Trends in Corruption and Democratization

    No full text
    This article examines the complex relationship between democratization and corruption, emphasizing the non-linear effects of prolonged exposure to democratic institutions. A repeated coordination game model is presented to capture the evolving political incentives in democratic systems and their impact on corruption levels. By incorporating evolving heterogeneous payoffs, the model realistically reflects individual incentives and provides insights into the rate of convergence toward a stable equilibrium. The results generally align with existing empirical findings, demonstrating that significant reductions in corruption typically emerge only after sustained exposure to democratic institutions. These findings not only support previous empirical research, but also offer a robust theoretical framework for understanding the delayed yet profound improvements in governance associated with democratization

    The role of maternal verbal sensitivity during parent-child shared book reading in socio-emotional functioning in the preschool years

    No full text
    The concept of maternal sensitivity has shifted over time to include a focus on engagement with the child at a mental level in addition to physical and emotional care. This study investigates this idea, using data from the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study-Birth Cohort. Maternal verbalization was captured using the Reading Aloud Profile–Together coding during mother-child book reading. Findings using latent class analyses showed that mothers could be classified into two distinct classes having different verbalization styles. Identified maternal verbal sensitivity was marked by bringing her child‘s world into communication and by facilitating the child to engage in communication, asking both close- and open-ended questions; whereas, less sensitivity at the verbal level was marked by focusing on the book rather than the child‘s experiences. The predictive validity of maternal verbal sensitivity was supported as it was positively associated with the child‘s social competence as rated by mothers, while at the same time being negatively associated with the child‘s externalizing behaviors as rated by both mothers and early care/education providers. This study fills a gap in the literature concerning correlates of maternal verbal interactive styles. Its findings suggest that maternal verbal sensitivity is a behavior not depending on contextual factors. Its findings also support Ainsworth‘s conceptualization of maternal sensitivity—a capacity to tailor responses to the child‘s individuality. Importantly, the overall findings showed the moderating role of maternal verbal sensitivity on the relation between mother/child background characteristics and the child‘s socio-emotional functioning, suggesting the effectiveness of interventions utilizing mother-child dyadic book-reading contexts. Furthermore, the findings imply that preschoolers have come to refine or re-organize the internal working models of the social worlds in the context of mother-child communication, which supports theoretical notions posited by attachment researchers. Finally, the findings underscore the methodological advantages of a person-level approach in investigating a new construct which is exploratory in nature and empirically driven. This study looked at the constellation of verbalizations at the person-level, thereby yielding the information about the complexity of them.Ph.

    Talking It Over with Hillary: Domestic and Global Advocacy, 1995-2000

    No full text
    In July of 1995, first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton’s first “Talking It Over” column premiered in newspapers across the country and the globe. Creators Syndicate in Los Angeles, which produced and circulated this weekly syndicated column, has archived two hundred and ninety-one columns on their website. Dropped and suspended by many publications throughout its duration, “Talking It Over” was a controversial journalistic endeavor for its author, who was simultaneously accused of writing in a fashion that was “too political” and “not political enough.” Consequently, the existing scholarly appraisals of “Talking It Over” depict this column as being either incidental or a rhetorical failure in Hillary Rodham Clinton’s first ladyship. Departing from this view, I seek to address in this dissertation the question of how Hillary Rodham Clinton used her newspaper column as a rhetorical resource for political advocacy from 1995 to 2000. To answer this question, I suggest that “Talking It Over” can be read fruitfully as an autobiographical text which made use of three complimentary rhetorical strategies: personal stories, narratives, and descriptions. Though “Talking It Over” is not an autobiography, I argue that it functions as an autobiographical text due to the various features and strategies employed in the column. I conclude that writing a weekly opinion column is both a record of political advocacy and a form of political advocacy in itself
