    Children's opinions on effective strategies to cope with bullying: the importance of bullying role and perspective

    No full text
    In order to find out what children would suggest as useful interventions to stop bullying, we designed a questionnaire administered to 311 children (155 boys and 156 girls; mean age = 11 years). Thirty-six items were employed to ask children how effective, in their opinion, retaliation, nonchalance and assertiveness could be in stopping bullying. Items were presented to children from three different perspectives (imagine you are the victim, the bully or a witness). We used peer reports to assess children's role in bullying. Children were grouped into bullies, followers of the bully, defenders of the victims, outsiders, victims and those not involved. The strategy most frequently chosen by all children was to cope with bullying through assertiveness. Bullies considered retaliation effective more often than their classmates, especially when they adopted the perspective of the victim or witness. Bullies did not consider assertive strategies as efficient in stopping the bully. Defenders, outsiders, victims and children not involved, on the other hand, were very much in favour of strategies aimed at solving the conflict through nonchalance or assertiveness, especially when they imagined being the bully. Girls chose assertive strategies more often than boys and younger children preferred nonchalance more often than older children, who tended to choose retaliation more often. Suggestions for intervention are made. © 2005 NFER

    New insights on accretion in supergiant fast X-ray transients from XMM-Newton and INTEGRAL observations of IGR J17544-2619

    No full text
    XMM–Newton observations of the supergiant fast X-ray transient IGR J17544?2619 are reported and placed in the context of an analysis of archival INTEGRAL/IBIS data that provide a refined estimate of the orbital period at 4.9272?±?0.0004?d. A complete outburst history across the INTEGRAL mission is reported. Although the new XMM–Newton observations (each lasting ?15 ks) targeted the peak flux in the phase-folded hard X-ray light curve of IGR J17544?2619, no bright outbursts were observed, the source spending the majority of the exposure at intermediate luminosities of the order of several 1033?erg?s?1 (0.5–10 keV) and displaying only low level flickering activity. For the final portion of the exposure, the luminosity of IGR J17544?2619 dropped to ?4?×?1032?erg?s?1 (0.5–10 keV), comparable with the lowest luminosities ever detected from this source, despite the observations being taken near to periastron. We consider the possible orbital geometry of IGR J17544?2619 and the implications for the nature of the mass transfer and accretion mechanisms for both IGR J17544?2619 and the supergiant fast X-ray transients (SFXTs) population. We conclude that accretion under the ‘quasi-spherical accretion’ model provides a good description of the behaviour of IGR J17544?2619 and suggests an additional mechanism for generating outbursts based upon the mass accumulation rate in the hot shell (atmosphere) that forms around the neutron star under the quasi-spherical formulation. Hence, we hope to aid in explaining the varied outburst behaviours observed across the SFXT population with a consistent underlying physical model

    Multi-neighbourhood simulated annealing for the ITC-2007 capacitated examination timetabling problem

    No full text
    We propose a multi-neighbourhood simulated annealing algorithm for the ITC-2007 version of the capacitated examination timetabling problem. The proposed solver is based on a combination of existing as well as newly proposed neighbourhoods that better exploit the disconnected structure of the underlying conflict graph and that explicitly deal with the assignment of exams to rooms. We use a principled tuning procedure to determine the parameters of the algorithm and assess the contribution of the various neighbourhoods by means of an ablation analysis. The resulting algorithm is able to compete with existing state-of-the-art solvers and finds several new best solutions for a variety of well-known problem instances

    Co-extruded multilayer polymer films for photonic applications

    No full text
    \u3cp\u3eCo-extrusion through a series of layer-multiplying die elements enables the production of polymer films containing tens to thousands of layers with individual layer thicknesses from the micro- to the nanoscale. The use of polymers with different refractive indexes allows to fabricate, with a simple and inexpensive process, narrowband one-dimensional photonic crystals. Tunability of the photonic gap can be achieved by proper choice of the materials or of the dies, varying the contrast in refractive indexes or the number and thickness of the individual layers. The use of elastomeric polymers offers the opportunity to modify the UV–VIS spectral response of the 1-D photonic crystals simply by deformation of the film. Finally, co-extrusion of multi-layer polymeric films revealed to be an enabling technology, which allows the realization of new polymeric optical devices, going from flexible lasers to gradient refractive index lenses.\u3c/p\u3
