I CARE: Development and Evaluation of a Campus Gatekeeper Training Program for Mental Health Promotion and Suicide Prevention     

Marian Reiff  Meeta Kumar  Batsirai Bvunzawabaya  Soumya Madabhushi  Alaina Spiegel  Benjamin Bolnick 《Journal of College Student Psychotherapy》2019,33(2):107-130

Addressing the need for suicide prevention on campus, I CARE training, developed and facilitated by counseling center clinicians, trains students, staff, and faculty to provide support to students experiencing distress or mental health problems. We assessed its impact using a mixed-methods approach. Quantitative analyses demonstrated significant increases in knowledge of intervention skills and readiness to intervene from pretraining to posttraining. Knowledge and readiness remained significantly higher than preworkshop for the entire follow-up evaluation period, extending 15 months posttraining. Qualitative analyses revealed the value of experiential activities and emotional processing in increasing participants’ comfort and preparedness to intervene in challenging situations.  相似文献   

Effect of processing parameters on the electromagnetic radiation emission during plastic deformation and crack propagation in copper-zinc alloys     

KUMAR Rajeev  MISRA Ashok 《浙江大学学报(A卷英文版)》2006,7(11):1800-1809

INTRODUCTION The physics of plastic deformation and crack propagation at atomic level is complex but is essential for the development of new materials. This requires an understanding of the atomic level phenomena associated with the plastic deformation. In this con- text, emission of electromagnetic radiation (EMR) during plastic deformation and crack propagation in metals and alloys, and generation of transient mag- netic fields during crack initiation in ferromagnetic materials are rep…  相似文献   

Identification of strategy parameters for particle swarm optimizer through Taguchi method     

KHOSLA Arun KUMAR Shakti AGGARWAL K.K. 《浙江大学学报(A卷英文版)》2006,7(12):1989-1994

INTRODUCTION The particle swarm optimization (PSO) method is a member of the broad category of swarm intelli- gence techniques for finding optimized solutions. The PSO algorithm is based on the social behavior of animals such as flocking of birds and schooling of fish, etc. PSO has its origin in simulation for visual- izing the synchronized choreography of bird flock by incorporating concepts such as nearest-neighbor ve- locity matching and acceleration by distance (Par- sopoulos and V…  相似文献   

Theorema aureum — 2     

Shivam Kumar 《Resonance》2007,12(10):18-29

In the first part of this article, we had introduced the notion of quadratic reciprocity and dwelt briefly on its history, which goes back all the way to the work of Fermat. Then we discussed the Law of Quadratic Reciprocity (‘QRL’), which Gauss named Theorema Aureum. Following this, we gave a not too well known proof of the QRL, due to G Rousseau. Now we give two more proofs of the QRL, drawing respectively from ideas in linear algebra and field extensions; they too are not very well known. Shivam Kumar graduated from Indian Statistical Institute, Bangalore and is joining the London School of Economics for MSc in applicable mathematics. His interest lies in expanding the existing applied paradigm of mathematics from stock market to unchartered subjects such as sociometrics.  相似文献

Chemistry at the Nanoscale     

Ashwin B. R. Kumar  Ram Ramaswamy 《Resonance》2018,23(1):23-40

Traditionally the kinetics of a chemical reaction has been studied as a set of coupled ordinary differential equations. The law of mass action, a tried and tested principle for reactions involving macroscopic quantities of reactants, gives rise to deterministic equations in which the variables are species concentrations. In recent years, though, as smaller and smaller systems – such as an individual biological cell, say – can be studied quantitatively, the importance of molecular discreteness in chemical reactions has increasingly been realized. This is particularly true when the system is far from the ‘thermodynamic limit’ when the numbers of all reacting molecular species involved are several orders of magnitude smaller than Avogadro’s number. In such situations, each reaction has to be treated as a probabilistic ‘event’ that occurs by chance when the appropriate reactants collide. Explicitly accounting for such processes has led to the development of sophisticated statistical methods for simulation of chemical reactions, particularly those occurring at the cellular and sub-cellular level. In this article, we describe this approach, the so-called stochastic simulation algorithm, and discuss applications to study the dynamics of model regulatory networks.  相似文献   

Scalars vectors in physics - II     

A.?W.?JoshiEmail author  Alok?Kumar 《Resonance》2004,9(11):56-67

In Part I, the nature of scalars and vectors was discussed for the Newtonian world. However, in the relativistic world, physical quantities follow Lorentz transformations. This change of transformation from Galilean to Lorentz results in interesting distinctions in their properties: mass and time are no longer scalars, time and space become intertwined, etc. This part discusses the nature of scalars and vectors in the relativistic world.  相似文献   

Priority Education Zones in Mauritius     

Mahadeo Santosh Kumar  Mahomed Aniff Gurrib 《Prospects》2008,38(2):227-235

This article discusses the Priority Education Zones project (ZEP) in Mauritius. The original and innovative dimensions of the project are described, together with the difficulties encountered during the setting-up of the ZEP schools. The article covers five main issues: the status of the ZEP project; the minimal conditions for success; the implications concerning the teachers; the obstacles faced; and the strategy devised to implement the ZEP project, while overcoming the obstacles.

Assessment of expert-novice chemistry problem solving using HyperCard: Early findings     

David D. Kumar 《Journal of Science Education and Technology》1993,2(3):481-485

Results of a HyperCard method for assessing the performance of expert and novice high school chemistry students solving stoichiometric chemistry problems (balancing chemical equations) have been reported. The assessment involved the use of a HyperCard instrument (Hyperequation) developed on a Macintosh platform to administer a set of five chemistry problems, register student responses, and collect data related to student performance. The chemistry problems have been previously tested and validated in traditional (pen-paper) assessment settings by other researchers. MANOVA results indicate a significant difference between the performance of expert and novice students solving the five stoichiometric chemistry problems using the Hyperequation. The study shows promise in that a HyperCard assessment method could differentiate between the performance of experts and novices in problem solving. The implication is that HyperCard might be a suitable technology for developing performance assessment methods not only in chemistry but also in other science disciplines.  相似文献   

Quality assurance strategies for affiliated institutions of HE: a case study of the affiliates under National University of Bangladesh   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Gazi Mahabubul Alam  Pradip Kumar Mishra  Mirja Mohammad Shahjamal 《Higher Education》2014,68(2):285-301

Presently, education is considered as the main weapon for national development. However, this tenet has been challenged by several economists. Their findings give rise to a further question: whilst expansion of education increases globally, what is it exactly that continues to hinder a country’s progression? There is no short answer, but one major area of concern is the quality and relevance of the education available. Research for this paper, the first of its kind in Bangladesh, has been carried out by interviews and observation in the affiliates of the National University of Bangladesh, where 80 % of the students in higher education are the underprivileged. The findings show that the legislators ignore the fact that quality of education in the affiliates is perceived as important.  相似文献
