Anogenital warts in childhood     

R M Hanson  M Glasson  I McCrossin  M Rogers  B Rose  C Thompson 《Child abuse & neglect》1989,13(2):225-233

Fifteen children with anogenital warts are presented. Twelve cases were referred for assessment of sexual abuse which was established in six cases, strongly suspected in one, and excluded in three. In two, the source was unclear. Papillomavirus typing was carried out by HPV DNA dot and Southern blot hybridization using mixed HPV 6/11, 16/18, and 2/3 DNA probes on 15 specimens from 12 of the children. Seven biopsy specimens were positive for HPV 6 or 11 and one hybridized with both HPV 6/11 and 16/18 mixed sets of probes. Two specimens were positive for HPV 2, and a further two hybridized with both HPV 18 and 2. Three wart specimens could not be typed with the available genital or skin probes. The viruses causing genital tract papillomata are the same for children and adults. The identification of HPV 16/18 raises the concern of potential oncogenicity and stresses the need for long-term assessment. The diagnosis of sexual abuse was made on history rather than examination, as only two cases showed additional physical signs of sexual abuse. It is advocated that the presence of anogenital warts alone be sufficient grounds to pursue the possibility of sexual abuse. Nonsexual transmission, although possible, is far less likely.  相似文献   

Naming speed deficits in adults with reading disabilities: a test of the double-deficit hypothesis     

Vukovic RK  Wilson AM  Nash KK 《Journal of learning disabilities》2004,37(5):440-450

The present study investigated the persistent nature of naming speed deficits within the context of the double-deficit hypothesis in a university sample of adults with reading disabilities (RD). Twenty-five university students with RD were compared to 28 typically achieving readers on measures of reading skill, phonological processing, and naming speed. The results indicated that both naming speed and phonological processing deficits characterized the RD group. In a regression analysis, neither naming speed nor phonological processing were important variables in explaining comprehension when reading rate was in the model. The results of the present study are mixed at best and are consistent with earlier conclusions that support for the double-deficit hypothesis of dyslexia remains limited.  相似文献   

A Review of Children's,Teachers' and Parents' Influences on Children's Drawing Experience     

Sarah E. Rose  Richard P. Jolley  Esther Burkitt 《The International Journal of Art & Design Education》2006,25(3):341-349

In this article we argue that research into children's drawings should consider the context in which drawing occurs and that it is crucial to investigate the attitudes and practices of teachers, parents and children themselves that shape children's drawing experience and the drawings which they produce. We review the findings of seven empirical studies reporting data collected through direct observations, interviews and questionnaires from the three main players (teachers, parents and children) on the attitudes and practices shaping children's drawing. Issues covered include teachers' perceptions of the purposes and importance of drawing, support offered by teachers, parents and children for children's drawing endeavours, and possible factors that may lead to an age‐related decline in the amount of drawing children choose to do. We end the review by reporting some preliminary findings from our own large‐scale interview and survey study of 270 5–14 year old children, their parents and teachers, that provides a comprehensive assessment of attitudes and practices influencing children's drawing experience at home and at school. The findings provide further insight into the aforementioned issues, particularly children's, teachers' and parent's explanations of why children's drawing behaviour might decline with age. It is hoped that by reporting these preliminary findings some additional understanding of the context in which children produce their drawings can be gained and new areas for debate opened up.  相似文献   

Enhancement of Mentor Selection Using the Ideal Mentor Scale   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Rose  Gail L. 《Research in higher education》2003,44(4):473-494

Doctoral students seeking faculty mentors have few tools available to assist them. The Ideal Mentor Scale (IMS) is a new measure designed to help graduate students consider the qualities they as individuals most value in a potential mentor. Ph.D. students at 3 different universities (Ns = 82, 250, 380) contributed to the development and cross-validation of the 34-item IMS. Item frequencies indicated that 2 universal qualities were central to graduate students' definitions of a mentor: communication skills and provision of feedback. Principal factor analysis of the IMS indicated that 3 individual differences dimensions reliably underlaid graduate students' importance ratings of mentor attributes: Integrity, Guidance, and Relationship. In one sample, Guidance and Relationship were significantly related to student satisfaction with their mentor. The IMS is an assessment tool that could individualize the initiation and maintenance of mentoring relationships, enhance communication, and ultimately improve the satisfaction of students with their doctoral education.  相似文献   

Modifying the distribution of attention in infants     

Jankowski JJ  Rose SA  Feldman JF 《Child development》2001,72(2):339-351

In three experiments, the distribution and malleability of infant visual attention were studied in 5-month-olds (N = 72) while they inspected large geometric designs. In Experiment 1, we established that infants maintained their distribution of attention from a pretest to a familiarization phase. We also replicated and extended our previous findings that infants who examined targets with briefer, more numerous looks and shifts-short lookers-had novelty scores above chance, whereas long lookers demonstrated chance responding. In Experiment 2, different portions of the display were successively illuminated with red light. This manipulation induced long lookers to scan like short lookers during familiarization; they then showed novelty scores well above chance. A third experiment ruled out the simple presence of a red light as the source of this effect. In sum, then, these results suggest that the distribution of attention is malleable, and that a broader distribution of attention, as reflected in briefer and more numerous looks and shifts, can improve processing.  相似文献   

Influence of Verbal Working Memory Depends on Vocabulary: Oral Reading Fluency in Adolescents With Dyslexia     

L. Todd Rose  Parisa Rouhani 《Mind, Brain, and Education》2012,6(1):1-9

Most research on dyslexia to date has focused on early childhood, while comparatively little is known about the nature of dyslexia in adolescence. The current study had two objectives. The first was to investigate the relative contributions of several cognitive and linguistic factors to connected‐text oral reading fluency in a sample of adolescents with dyslexia (n = 77). The second was to test the hypothesis that the effect of verbal working memory on connected‐text oral reading fluency is moderated by word‐level skills and/or vocabulary knowledge. The results suggest that many deficits associated with childhood dyslexia remain prominent in adolescence, but the nature of the relationships between key cognitive and linguistic predictors (i.e., word‐level reading, vocabulary, verbal working memory) and reading fluency appear to be different in adolescence. For example, while word‐level skills remain a significant predictor, the strength of the effect is relatively weak. In contrast, the data support an increased role for vocabulary and verbal working memory, including an interaction between these factors. The presence of an interaction can be interpreted as evidence that the influence of verbal working memory on connected‐text oral reading fluency in adolescents with dyslexia depends on individual differences in vocabulary knowledge. These results offer support for the changing nature of dyslexia across development, and suggest that researchers should study dyslexia in adolescents on its own terms, rather than treating it as an extension of reading problems in early childhood.  相似文献   

Effective practices for creating transformative informal science education programs grounded in Native ways of knowing

Kawagley  Melissa Little Plume-Weatherwax  Lisa Lone Fight  Gene Meier  Tachini Pete  James Rattling Leaf  Elvin Returns From Scout  Bonnie Sachatello-Sawyer  Hi’ilani Shibata  Shelly Valdez  Rachel Wippert 《Cultural Studies of Science Education》2012,7(1):49-70

There are a growing number of informal science education (ISE) programs in Native communities that engage youth in science education and that are grounded in Native ways of knowing. There is also a growing body of research focusing on the relationship between culture, traditional knowledge, and science education. However, there is little research documenting how these programs are being developed and the ways in which culture and Western science are incorporated into the activities. This study outlines effective practices for using Native ways of knowing to strengthen ISE programs. These effective practices may also be used to promote change in formal education. The authors combine an overview of current research in informal science education with personal interviews with educators engaged in ISE programs offered to youth both on and off tribal reservations as well as experts in Indigenous education. Participating individuals and programs included Native communities across the United States, including Alaska and Hawai??i. Keeping in mind that each community is unique, ISE programs that are grounded in Native ways of knowing will benefit by utilizing the effective practices outlined here as a guide for starting or strengthening existing ISE programs relevant to the needs of their communities.  相似文献   

Meeting needs assessment challenges: Applying the performance pyramid in the U.S. Army     

Linsey M. Barker Steege  Rose M. Marra  Keri Jones 《Performance Improvement》2012,51(10):32-41

This article describes an application of the Performance Pyramid, a needs assessment framework that supports a holistic view of an organization allowing assessors to identify how organizational culture may affect performance. We illustrate use of the Performance Pyramid for a needs assessment with human systems integration practitioners in the U.S. Army. We describe how the Performance Pyramid guided our methods, data collection, and results interpretation and discuss advantages and disadvantages of the methodology.  相似文献   

Insight into performance improvement in action: Inspiration from mobile apps     

Matthew Donovan  Rose Benedicks  Pil Kang 《Performance Improvement》2012,51(10):5-11

Mobile apps are a potentially powerful medium for performance technologists. In this piece we analyze four selected apps‐Coach's Eye, for amateur athletes; EpicMix, for skiers; Cloth, a wardrobe manager; and FLPR, a home‐theatre management tool‐to show the connection between app design and performance support. With user ratings and anecdotal feedback built into the review of the apps, training professionals have a front‐row seat on this expanding arena of problem‐solving products.  相似文献
