Abstract: Music listening is an activity that nearly every young adult engages in. Research on the psychological effects of music listening show varying results. This study’s purpose was to explore possible relationships between young adults’ listening habits and psychological well-being. A survey, completed by 192 young adults between the ages of 18 and 25, was used to identify the participants’ music listening habits, level of psychological well-being, and demographic information. A series of statistical analyses were conducted to determine relationships between several music factors, demographic factors, and psychological well-being. The results of these analyses show that there is a statistically significant positive relationship between young adults’ music listening habits and their psychological well-being. More than any other factor measured, how an individual engaged in music listening determined their level of psychological well-being. In addition, the lyric content of music had a significant relationship to higher or lower psychological well-being. These results suggest that music listening habits and the lyric content of music may have an impact on young adults’ psychological well-being.

Wie haften Vermittler fur Urheberrechtsverletzungen ihrer Nutzer? Laura Jones zieht auf Grundlage einer rechtsvergleichenden Untersuchung die Grenze zwischen unmittelbarer und mittelbarer Haftung. Dabei entwickelt sie ein eigenes Haftungskonzept, das den ausufernden Tatbestand der offentlichen Wiedergabe einfangt und daneben ein Haftungskonzept fur die Verletzung europaischer Verkehrspflichten enthalt. Danach fallen nur solche Vermittlungshandlungen, die eine zentrale Rolle bei der Auffindbarkeit von Werken im Netz spielen, dabei auf die Verletzung von Urheberrechten durch ihre Nutzer abzielen und hieraus einen Profit ziehen, unter das Recht der offentlichen Wiedergabe. Anderen Geschaftsmodellen hingegen sollen im Rahmen der mittelbaren Haftung Verkehrspflichten obliegen, deren Intensitat insbesondere von der Nahe des Vermittlers zur Rechtsverletzung abhangen soll.

"Activation of the transcription factor Stat3 has been reported in numerous human cancers and is often correlated with poor prognosis. In particular, Stat3 activation has been reported in 30-60% of human breast cancers. Indeed, Stat3 regulates numerous targets involved in the processes of proliferation, angiogenesis, migration/invasion and immune response, all of which are essential to cancer progression. Furthermore, Stat3 activity has been specifically linked to metastasis, immune suppression and resistance to therapy. However, the use of genetically engineered mouse models (GEMMs) to examine the role of Stat3 in these processes has been limited. Utilizing a novel inducible PyVmT-driven mouse model of mammary tumourigenesis, we have highlighted an essential role for Stat3 in immunosuppression during early stages of tumour progression. Indeed, Stat3 loss results in a robust anti-tumourigenic immune response against early hyperplasic lesions in this model, driven primarily, but not exclusively, by activated cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) and M1 macrophages. This immune response was successful in the complete and rapid elimination of these early lesions. Furthermore, this model allowed us to examine a proportion of Stat3 ablated tumours that were able to eventually circumvent this immune surveillance, but lacked the ability to further metastasize. Here we report a down regulated Stat3-dependent inflammatory gene signature in these non-metastatic tumours and a corresponding lack of infiltrating macrophages, essential to metastasis. This firmly supports a role for Stat3 in modulating the tumour immune microenvironment at various stages of tumour progression. Differences in the immune microenvironment, however, did not fully account for a Stat3 dependent decrease in metastasis. Thus, we further examined the cell intrinsic roles of Stat3 in promoting breast cancer cell metastasis. Here we have shown that Stat3 ablation in breast cancer cell lines results in increased focal adhesion formation and a dysregulation of focal adhesion dynamics. This was correlated with impaired cellular migration and metastasis. Together, this suggests that Stat3 works through various mechanism to promote tumour progression and metastasis, and is thus an interesting target for potential therapeutic intervention. Nevertheless, important consideration should be given to how these transgenic mice are modeling breast cancer and if phenotypes are reproducible across models. In this vein, we have generated two novel inducible mouse models of breast cancer, driven by the human version of HER2 as well as a potentially activating, naturally occurring, alternatively spliced isoform. These models will allow for the investigation into differences between the signaling of the two HER2 isoforms, whose relative importance to human cancer is debated. With these new additions to our tool box, we can further examine these reported roles of Stat3 in an increasingly robust manner, parse differences between models, and gain a better understanding of how these models represent the cancers we are attempting to study. In summary the work presented here strongly implicates Stat3 in promoting mammary tumourigenesis at various stages of tumour progression through both cell intrinsic and extrinsic processes with an emphasis on its role in modulating the immune system to the benefit of the cancer. However, it also stresses the importance of varied models to gain an improved understanding of these processes and potentially highlights context specific considerations related to Stat3-targeted therapies." --

And what if Jack the Ripper was actually Florence Maybrick, a woman having existed in 1888? Combining biography and real events, could this novel be a key?A theory on the identity of Jack the Ripper, having as a central idea that the murderer was none other than a woman.Here is the life of Florence Chandler, from the age of eighteen when she meets James Maybrick, her future English husband, herself being an American.How was this 'foreigner' driven in a corner? An insecure childhood, a castrating mother of easy virtue, an unfaithful husband and the puritanical Victorian era are all elements leading us towards the answer. This story is a blend of psychology, of facts concerning the criminal who terrorized England and of an authentic biography."

The purpose of this systematic grounded theory study was to explore the process of change in teacher attitudes toward including Roma (Gypsy) students in non-segregated schools in Romania. The theories guiding this study included Mezirow''s (1991, 2000) theory of transformation, Gay''s (2002, 2013) theory of culturally responsive teaching, and Bandura''s (1977, 1997) theory of self-efficacy. These three theories guided this research inquiry into how attitudes change, how teacher attitudes affect beliefs and actions, and how self-efficacy affects teacher attitudes. This study sought to answer the following questions: What is the process of transforming Romanian teacher attitudes toward including Roma students? What factors influence attitude change of Romanian teachers toward the Roma? How do Romanian teachers use their transformed attitudes in working with Roma students? What role does self-efficacy play in developing Romanian teacher attitudes toward Roma students? Interviews, observations, and timelines of 23 current teachers took place in Romania. The Model of Transformation: Awakening to Empowering was constructed to show the process of transformation that was revealed during this study. The greatest influences discovered for affecting attitude change were personal reflection, childhood experiences, role models, and ongoing education courses. Teachers who chose to see their classroom as a familial unit, becoming like a foster parent for their students, and incorporated new teaching strategies, worked most successfully with their Roma students. Based on the data, self-efficacy was important for empowering the teachers and helping them to empower others in working with the Roma.

This groundbreaking book explores the current state of doctoral education in the United States and offers a plan for increasing the effectiveness of doctoral education. Programs must grapple with questions of purpose. The authors examine practices and elements of doctoral programs and show how they can be made more powerful by relying on principles of progressive development, integration, and collaboration. They challenge the traditional apprenticeship model and offer an alternative in which students learn while apprenticing with several faculty members. The authors persuasively argue that creating intellectual community is essential for high-quality graduate education in every department. Knowledge-centered, multigenerational communities foster the development of new ideas and encourage intellectual risk taking.
