Impacts of red imported fire ants and habitat use of gamebirds in the Coastal Prairie of Texas
No full textI measured the effects of an insecticide treatment (Extinguish PlusTM) on red imported fire ants (Solenopsis invicta) and northern bobwhite (Colinus virginianus) at the point-of-use and pasture scales. I also collected data on habitat use of northern chicken (Tympanuchus cupido attwateri). This study was conducted during the breeding season (April Aug) in 2017 and 2018 on 3 ranches in Goliad and Refugio Counties, TX. Ranches served as blocks with 2 500-ha experimental units: treated (Extinguish PlusTM application in April 2018) and non-treated control. I monitored radio-marked birds and sampled used and random locations for fire ants and vegetation characteristics. I also estimated densities for bobwhite and fire ants at the pasture scale. I did not detect negative effects of fire ants on bobwhites at either the point-of-use or pasture scales. The treatment reduced fire-ant densities in some blocks, but I did not detect a difference in bobwhite survival, nest success, or density. Low sample sizes of bobwhites may have influenced these results and decreased the statistical power to detect differences. Trends in the data indicate possible effects of treatment and additional studies are needed. Regarding habitat use, bobwhites selected > 38.5% woody cover, 42% forb cover. Attwa prairie chickens selected 0% woody cover, 80% grass cover, and 62% forb cover
The Relationship of Empathy and Perspective-Taking to Social Decentering
No full textSocial decentering was coined as a term to encompass being other-oriented in the broadest sense. Piaget (Piaget & Inhelder, 1969) used the term decentering to describe the ability of children to see the physical world from another person’s perspective. For Higgins (1981), role-taking represents movement from egocentrism to decentration. Higgins describes decentration as “the ability to interrelate two or more mental elements in active memory” (p. 131) with that ability continuing to develop, thus increasing the number of mental elements that can be interrelated. Social decentering shares the same basic cognitive processes that are represented in these initial conceptualizations of decentering. However, rather than being limited to a visually oriented perspective as with Piaget, I’ve added the modifier “social” to emphasize an orientation centered on another person – of seeing and feeling the world as another person does. Social decentering is introduced as a new term to represent this other-oriented process because other terms like empathy, perspective-taking, and role-taking are used in a myriad of inconsistent ways or are restrictive in their treatment of other-orientation. However, much of the foundation for social decentering is by necessity drawn from the theory and research generated under the rubrics of empathy, perspective-taking, and role-taking.This accepted book chapter is published as Redmond, M., The Relationship of Empathy and Perspective-Taking to Social Decentering in Social Decentering: A Theory of Other-Orientation Encompassing Empathy and Perspective-Taking, Author Redmond, Mark V., Walter de Gruyter GmbH, Berlin/Boston (2018). doi:10.1515/9783110515664.

Empathy, Perspective-Taking and Social Decentering in the Context of Health Care Professionals, Teams, Organizations, and Intercultural Interactions
No full textWhenever we anticipate interacting, interact, or reflect on interactions with other people, we have the option of engaging in social decentering to help us in our planning, understanding, and adapting. We are also affected by the other person’s use of social decentering on us. So far in this book the focus has been on interpersonal interactions, specifically those with friends, romantic partners, and spouses. That discussion provides a broad and encompassing understanding of social decentering and relationship-specific social decentering (RSSD) that can be applied to any human interaction. However, some interactions are defined by specific roles and contexts that affect the use, value, appropriateness, and impact of social decentering. For example, psychotherapy is seen as a specific form of interpersonal interaction (Hatcher, 2015), where the roles of the therapist and client guide the interaction. In organizations, managers with strong social decentering abilities are likely to make different adaptations to subordinates who are late to work than they do when their children are late for dinner. The roles that managers play toward subordinates evokes different goals in using social decentering (maintaining a productive workforce) than it does in interacting with their children (teaching responsibility).This accepted book chapter is published as Redmond, M., Empathy, Perspective-Taking and Social Decentering in the Context of Health Care Professionals, Teams, Organizations, and Intercultural Interactions in Social Decentering: A Theory of Other-Orientation Encompassing Empathy and Perspective-Taking, Author Redmond, Mark V., Walter de Gruyter GmbH, Berlin/Boston Chapter 7 (2018);222-266.

Production of Personal Records in Sexual Offences Trials
No full textThis paper will investigate the position of disclosure of personal records in other jurisdictions and will discuss the lack of specific legislation on this issue in South Africa. It will also explore legal options available for complainants and record holders to resist the disclosure of this information as well as the rationale of the defence and the courts in admitting this information into evidence as relevant. The paper will attempt to reveal the flawed reasoning of the defence and the courts in justifying the use of personal records of complainants by investigating the myths and stereotypes about women, children and sexual assault that inform this reasoning, and will recommend how government must intervene to combat this phenomenon to ensure real protection of women and children in the criminal justice system

A cancer-associated, genome protective programme engaging PKCε
No full textAssociated with their roles as targets for tumour promoters, there has been a long-standing interest in how members of the protein kinase C (PKC) family act to modulate cell growth and division. This has generated a great deal of observational data, but has for the most part not afforded clear mechanistic insights into the control mechanisms at play. Here, we review the roles of PKCε in protecting transformed cells from non-disjunction. In this particular cell cycle context, there is a growing understanding of the pathways involved, affording biomarker and interventional insights and opportunities
