The effect of ego development, gender, and depression on adolescents\u27 progress toward individuation
No full textThe role of ego development, gender, and depression in adolescents\u27 progress toward individuation was explored using a sample of high school students who participated in a longitudinal study of adolescent development conducted at Pace University. For this investigation, data from two years of the study were used and included approximately 549 participants who completed the Loevinger\u27s Sentence Completion Test (SCT), the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale for Children (CES-DC), and the Pace Profile of Adolescent Depression and Individuation (PPADI), a new measure developed on an earlier sample from the same school. The nine stages of ego development derived from Loevinger\u27s SCT were divided into four categorizes commonly used in research: Preconformist, Conformist, Transitional/Self-Aware, and Postconformist. The CES-DC determined whether adolescents were significantly depressed. It was also used to validate the depression scales of the PPADI as well as depressive equivalents and positive adaptation. Depression as it relates to individuation was measured by the PPADI, which made up the outcome variables. The relationship between these variables was measured by an Ego by Gender by Depression Analysis of Variance. The central hypothesis was that ego development, gender and depression would account for adolescents\u27 progress toward individuation, as measured by the Pace Profile of Adolescent Depression and Individuation. Results from the ego development by gender by depression ANOVAs revealed significant differences on the PPADI scales. These findings suggest that these variables do in fact account for differences in adolescents\u27 progress toward individuation and identity formation. In addition, those who scored higher than I6 on the CES-DC (i.e. those who are significantly depressed) were higher on the different depression PPADI scales. These findings indicate that the PPADI is a useful measure for assessing adolescent depression and development. Results were further evaluated and discussed in terms of limitations, implications for school/clinical child psychology and ideas for future research
Gender differences in the relationship between depression, internalizing /externalizing problems, and personality styles in adolescents
No full textThe present study examined gender in relationship to depression, internalized/externalized problems, and personality styles in an adolescent population attending a suburban high school. This study explored differences in female and male experiences in adolescence, using scales that measure personality styles, expressed concerns, behavioral problems, and depression. The present investigation used data that were drawn from a larger longitudinal study of adolescent depression and development conducted at Pace University. The participants attended a Westchester public high school and were in grades 9th to 12th. The measures that were administered for this study were the following: The Center for Epidemiological Studies of Depression Scale for Children (CES-DC), which determines the presence and the severity of depression; the Millon Adolescent Personality Inventory (MAPI), which assesses personality styles and adolescents\u27 expressed concerns; and the Achenbach Youth Self-Report (YSR), which assesses behavioral problems of adolescents and categorizes them into internalizing and externalizing styles. The first hypothesis stated that female adolescents would report greater depressive symptomatology than the male adolescents on the CES-DC. As was expected, this finding was supported. The females reported almost twice as much depression than the males. The second hypothesis stated that female adolescents would have more internalizing problem, anxiety, somatic, and depression than male adolescents. This hypothesis was also confirmed for all variables. The third hypothesis stated that male adolescents would report more externalizing problems, aggression and delinquency than females. The delinquency was the only behavior that was significant. In summary, the analyses do partially support gender differences in the relationships between MAPI subscales and YSR internalizing and externalizing scales. When the analysis included the internalizing scale of the YSR, gender differences are found on five of the MAPI subscales. When the analysis included the externalizing scale of the YSR, gender differences are found on eight of the MAPI subscales. Combining internalizing and externalizing YSR scales, gender differences are found on half the MAPI subscales. (Abstract shortened by UMI.
The institutionalization and pace of fertility in American stepfamilies
No full textThis paper compares nonparametric fertility rates for American women in stepfamilies and intact families using data from the June 1995 Current Population Survey. Results show that childbearing behaviors in stepfamilies resemble those in intact families. Regardless of stepfamily status, timings and levels of fertility for second and third marital births are identical for all women at the same lifetime parity. Fertility patterns are also similar for all first marital births, with the exception of a constant difference of three years in the pace of fertility. These findings are consistent with (1) the institutionalization hypothesis of stepfamily processes; (2) the hypothesis that lifetime parity is the primary determinant of female fertility; and (3) a speculation that women in stepfamilies attempt to catch up on lost fertility outside of marriage.fertility, nonparametric method, stepfamily, USA
Changes in gait during constant pace treadmill running.
No full textTreadmills are often used by runners when weather conditions are adverse or a specific training effect is desired. Athletes might respond to fatigue differently when running on a treadmill compared with overground conditions, where pace is typically more variable. The purpose of this study was to measure changes in gait parameters over the course of a 10-km treadmill run. Fifteen male competitive runners ran at a constant pace for 10 km at 103% of season's best time on an instrumented treadmill with in-dwelling force plates, and data were analyzed at 5 distances. Kinematic data were derived from high-speed videography and results compared between the early and late stages. Before halfway, step length increased and cadence decreased, whereas during the latter stages, there were significant decreases in impulse and maximum force. Contact time decreased and flight time increased continually, but otherwise most gait variables did not change. The changes in contact and flight times suggested that athletes altered their gait so that more time was spent airborne to allow the treadmill to pass under them. In general, however, the runners maintained their techniques throughout the run. Constant pace treadmill running might therefore be useful with the aim of running for a particular distance and speed with a consistent technique unaffected by factors such as gradient or fatigue. However, the increase in flight time might have aided the runners because of the nature of treadmill running, and athletes and coaches should note that this training effect is impractical during overground running
Common Mode Currents in DC Power Routers
No full textThe grid reinforcement and energy redirection needs have led to the emergence of Back-To-Back Voltage Source Converter (BTB-VSC) based dc power routers. This paper investigates the low frequency Common Mode Currents (CMCs) that arise in the system if the employed BTB-VSCs have an un-isolated ac path connected in parallel to their output ports. Simulation results are presented to show a sensitivity analysis of lower order harmonics in CMC with respect to the operating active and reactive power of the dc router, dc link voltage, link resistance, modulation method and pole capacitance. Experimental results are shared to show existance of lower order CMC in 3-wire ac link operating in parallel with the dc power router and these are mitigated using zero sequence controller
Modeling, Control, and Operation of an M-DAB DC-DC Converter for Interconnection of HVDC Grids
No full textFuture high-voltage direct-current (HVDC) networks based on voltage source converters (VSCs) will have different structures (asymmetric monopolar, bipolar, or symmetric monopolar), voltage levels, control, and protection schemes. Therefore, dc-dc converters are needed to interconnect those VSC-HVDC grids and several technical issues on their control and operational systems must be adequately addressed. A dc-dc converter based on a modular-dual active bridge (M-DAB) converter is suggested to reach a desirable interconnection of the HVDC grids and regulate power flow (PF) between them. A dynamic averaged model is proposed for the M-DAB converter and its stability is analyzed using the Lyapunov function. Moreover, a new local controller based on nonlinear control theory is proposed for the M-DAB. The new M-DAB local controller is integrated with the energy management system (EMS), by updating the PF equations, to create a complete control structure. Considering the CIGRE DCS3 HVDC test system and the studied M-DAB, static, dynamic simulation, and experimental studies are conducted and the dc-dc converter and the performance of the designed controllers and the EMS are examined and validated.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository 'You share, we take care!' - Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Intelligent Electrical Power Grid
Escape from the List: Courage, Sacrifice, Survival
No full textAnne Frank has been described as Hitler’s most famous victim. By virtue of her diary, which was in fact a heavily revised memoir that today might be considered to belong to the genre of creative non-fiction, Anne Frank has attained a kind of immortality that the art form of writing frequently provides. This should not, of course, trivialize her fate, nor the suffering of the multitudes of other victims of the Nazi regime, a group comprised of Jews, as well as non-Jews. Some of these stories have been told in great detail, while many others have not. What follows is the story of Elisabeth Rodrigues Lopes de la Peña, a Jewish girl whose family had fled the Spanish Inquisition to settle in the Netherlands. During the German occupation of Amsterdam during the Second World War, this family faced yet another existential threat, one that some of them did not survive. Elisabeth may well have ended up as yet one more entry in the long list of the Nazi’s victims, if not for the intervention and courageous efforts of her non-Jewish neighbors—efforts that were based in large part on their own deeply held religious beliefs and sense of morals. Elisabeth’s rescuers are known to Holocaust historians, and their names are enshrined in the Yad Vashem World Holocaust Remembrance Museum in Israel, as well as in the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, DC. Along with my Research Assistant Angelica Roman, I have conducted personal meetings and interviews with Elisabeth’s daughter, Carolyn Stewart. Ms. Stewart has graciously shared many heretofore unknown details of her mother’s story of rescue, as well as photographs and documents, including some that have been unseen by anyone in over sixty years. What follows is new insight into Elisabeth Rodrigues’ escape from the list: a true story of courage, sacrifice, and survival.
