aim: considering the fundamental role of parents' function and family dynamics including the importance role of family communication pattern on preventing early-onset substance use in children, the present study aimed to determine the correlation between family communication pattern and mothers' preventive behavioral intention regarding preventing early-onset substance use in children...

Thin plates with arbitrary shapes and stiffeners find wide usage in construction, aerospace, marine, etc. industries. In the present work a parametric investigation of thin structural steel has been carried out. The design parameters considered were subtended angle aspect ratio to account for different used various applications. Another parameter that was is stiffener its orientation. impact va...

Abstract This article discusses the potential of Christoph Schwöbel’s relational theology for a reconsideration Christian faith between church teaching and dynamic praxis love. Faith is approached as phenomenon that always already inspired by confronted with shifting human expectations.

The present study was conducted to validate an adaptation of the Implicit Relational Assessment Procedure (IRAP) as an indirect latency-based measure of sexual orientation. Furthermore, reliability and criterion validity of the IRAP were compared to two established indirect measures of sexual orientation: a Choice Reaction Time task (CRT) and a Viewing Time (VT) task. A sample of 87 heterosexua...

Designed to close the ubiquitous gap between law on the books and law in action, management systems locate the standard-setting and implementation of regulation within the regulated organization itself. Despite efforts to more closely couple aspirations and performance, the gap reemerges because the exigencies of practical action exceed the capacity of system prescriptions to anticipate and con...

Relational particle dynamics include the dynamics of pure shape and cases in which absolute scale or absolute rotation are additionally meaningful. These are interesting as regards the absolute versus relative motion debate as well as discussion of conceptual issues connected with the problem of time in quantum gravity. In spatial dimension 1 and 2 the relative configuration spaces of shapes ar...

Snowden, Wichter, and Gray (2008) demonstrated that an Implicit Association Test and a Priming Task both predicted the sexual orientation of gynephilic and androphilic men in terms of their attraction biases towards pictures of nude males and females. For both measures, relative bias scores were obtained, with no information on the separate response biases to each target gender. The present stu...
