Selecting films for sex research: Gender differences in erotic film preference
No full textThe official published version can be obtained from the link below.The aim of this study was to explore gender differences in sexual responsiveness to erotic films that had been selected for their differential appeal for men and women. A secondary objective was to identify variables that influence sexual arousal and explore whether these variables differ for men and women. Fifteen men (M age = 26 yrs) and 17 women (M age = 24 yrs) were presented with 20 film clips depicting heterosexual interactions, half of which were female- and the other half male-selected, and were asked to rate the clips on a number of dimensions. Overall, men found the film clips more sexually arousing than did the women. Gender differences in arousal were negligible for female-selected clips but substantial for male-selected clips. Furthermore, men and women experienced higher levels of sexual arousal to clips selected for individuals of their own gender. Cluster regression analyses, explaining 77% of the variance for male and 65% for female participants, revealed that men's sexual arousal was dependent upon the attractiveness of the female actor, feeling interested, and both imagining oneself as a participant and watching as an observer. For women, with all variables entered, only imagining oneself as a participant contributed to sexual arousal ratings. The findings suggest that how films are selected in sex research is an important variable in predicting levels of sexual arousal reported by men and women

A revision of the indusiate scaly tree ferns (Cyatheaceae, Cyathea subgen. Alsophila sect. Alsophila) in Madagascar, the Comoros and the Seychelles
No full textBased on the examination of herbarium specimens including numerous recent collections and on observations of most species in situ, we herein present a revision of the indusiate scaly tree ferns (Cyathea sect. Alsophila) for Madagascar, the Comoros and the Seychelles. One endemic species Occurs on the Seychelles and three taxa (one endemic) are found on the Comoros. For Madagascar, we describe 55 taxa (40 species and 15 varieties), 5 1 of which arc endemic. Among these, 11 species and 12 varieties are new. The species newly described for Madagascar comprise C basirotundata Rakotondr. & Janssen, C. conferta Janssen & Rakotondr., C. dilatata Rakotondr. & Janssen, C. emilei Janssen & Rakotondr., C hebes Janssen & Rakotondr., C lisiae Janssen & Rakorondr., C. longispina Janssen & Rakotondr., C. meridionalis Janssen & Rakotondr., C. obtecta Rakotondr. &,Janssen, C. pseudo-bellisquamata Janssen & Rakotondr., and C valdesquamata Janssen & Rakotondr. The newly described varieties are C acutula (R.M. Tryon) Janssen & Rakotondr. var. deltoidea Janssen & Rakotondr., C a. var. rufescens Janssen & Rakotondr., C. bellisquamata Bonap. var. ambrensis Janssen & Rakorondr., C. b. var. australisJanssen & Rakotondr., C boivinii Mett. ex Kuhn var. andringitrensis Janssen & Rakotondr., C A var. bevolo Janssen & Rakotondr., C A var. parahildebrandtii Janssen & Rakotondr., C decrescens Mett. ex Kuhn var. cristata Janssen & Rakotondr., C d. var. manongarivensis Janssen & Rakotondr., C. emilei var. dauphinensis Janssen & Rakotondr., C. similis C.Chr. var. leptoderma Rakotondr. & Janssen, and C s. var. montana Janssen & Rakotondr. The descriptions of previously recognized taxa have been completed and where necessary corrected. Especially such characters have been added, that can be observed only in situ, e.g. trunk morphology and measurements of the entire leaf Descriptions are accompanied by plates with detailed illustrations and by distribution maps. We thoroughly reviewed the nomenclatural status and typification of all names. We provide determination keys down to the varietal level including all taxa of Cyatheaceae of the Madagascan region. Photographic documentation of the trunk and habit of most species will facilitate determination in the field. Finally, we briefly comment on the distribution of the tree fern diversity in the Madagascan rainforests

Interview with Alan Janssen, Class of 1975
No full textJanssen reminisces about the dedicated staff and faculty who prioritized student success and navigated the university through a turbulent period marked by social and political upheaval in the early 1970s. He then he describes the “flagpole incident” that took place on ISU’s quad on May 19, 1970, as Illinois State Police squared off against student protestors demanding the flag be lowered to half-mast in honor of the recently assassinated Malcolm X.
Janssen reflects on the significance of President Gene Budig\u27s leadership in restoring stability and a focus on education after a period of controversy. In his estimation, Budig\u27s personable nature and understanding of Midwestern culture endeared him to the community. Janssen also highlights memorable professors and administrators who fostered a supportive learning environment, including William Kauth and Gary Harrison. He recalls campus life as vibrant, with diverse extracurricular activities ranging from sports and Greek life to concerts featuring renowned artists like Elton John and George Carlin. Despite being in a conservative area, Janssen notes the progressive changes at ISU over the years and emphasizes the importance of diversity and inclusion in campus culture. He discusses the affordability of education during his time as a student compared to present-day costs and fondly recalls the fashion trends and popular entertainment of the era, such as bell-bottom jeans and Braden Auditorium movie nights. The Rites of Spring, which Janssen dubs the Woodstock of Normal, caused controversy in the 1970s, but Janssen asserts that the locals tolerated the festival as long as students abided by certain rules.
At the conclusion of the interview, Janssen touches on the university\u27s leadership in more modern days, mentioning figures like coach Jean Butikker and President Larry Dietz, who he thinks contributed to ISU\u27s ethos of nurturing leadership skills and understanding the needs of students. He expresses optimism for the university\u27s future under new leadership and its potential for further growth and development in its reputation and academic standing.https://ir.library.illinoisstate.edu/aoh/1034/thumbnail.jp
Report on industrial attachment with Janssen-Cilag Singapore, Division of Johnson & Johnson Pte Ltd
No full textThis report contains a record of the 22-week attachment of a bioengineering
student, Soo Beng Beng (matric no: 071674G19) with Janssen-Cilag Singapre, a
division of Johnson & Johnson.
The 22-week attachment is an opportunity for student to learn in real life
working environment, allowing the student to gain exposure to sales and marketing
operations in the pharmaceutical industry. The attachment enriched student’s
working experience, enhanced student’s interpersonal skills and improved their
working ability.
Author witness the application of bioengineering knowledge learnt in school
to be applied in pharmaceutical industry. It could be a motivation for the student to
learn and so to find out the possibility of more advanced technology.
Author had also learnt about sales and marketing practises during the
attachment. Endless forecasts and analysis are just a fraction of work needed to be
done. Marketing in Janssen-Cilag is quite event-based. Most of the time, marketers
need to be prepared to response to critical situations as events coming up one after
another. Author is glad to find herself was able to fit in to the fully dynamic
environment.
In general, it has been a fruitful and pleasant internship with Janssen-Cilag, a
division of Johnson & Johnson. Author is glad that she was once a member of
Johnson & Johnson
