TL;DR: The work of the Making of America II Testbed Project represents a singular effort in digital library development to find ways to provide access to and navigate a variety of materials based on principles of object-oriented design.
Abstract: The work of the Making of America II Testbed Project reported in this paper represents a singular effort in digital library development to find ways to provide access to and navigate a variety of materials. In this endeavor, a digital library service model has been defined that encapsulates the interaction of digital objects (including their metadata), tools, and services based on principles of object-oriented design.

TL;DR: This CD-ROM, with full color digital facsimiles and documentary texts of San Marino, Huntington Library MS HM 128 (Hm, Hm2 ), is the sixth volume of "The Piers Plowman Electronic Archive", an international collaborative project devoted to electronic publication of all the medieval and renaissance witnesses to William Langland's "Piers Plowingman".
Abstract: This CD-ROM, with full color digital facsimiles and documentary texts of San Marino, Huntington Library MS HM 128 (Hm, Hm2 ), is the sixth volume of "The Piers Plowman Electronic Archive", an international collaborative project devoted to electronic publication of all the medieval and renaissance witnesses to William Langland's "Piers Plowman". Hm is a second-generation witness to the B version with extensive erasures (over 1500 instances) and heavily emended with over 700 additions to the original text in contemporary hands. Hyper-textual linkages enable display of the complex relationships of the base text to other B witnesses as well as delineating the individual contributions of the three scribes who wrote and changed this manuscript.There are colour facsimile images of every page in the manuscript, hyper-textually linked to the edited text which is itself presented in four different views: a diplomatic type-facsimile; a scribal text which includes iconic indications of scribal error; a critical text with lapsus calami corrected; and an AllTags view that shows all of the editorial interventions on one screen. Minimum system requirements are: PCs: 486 or later; Windows95, 98, Me, NT, XP +. Internet Explorer, Version 6.0. Macintosh users require high-end equipment (System 9 or later) running Windows emulation software.

TL;DR: In this paper, a two-component model of mindfulness is proposed and each component is specified in terms of specific behaviors, experiential manifestations, and implicated psychological processes, and discussed implications for instrument development and briefly describing their own approach to measurement.
Abstract: There has been substantial interest in mindfulness as an approach to reduce cognitive vulnerability to stress and emotional distress in recent years. However, thus far mindfulness has not been defined operationally. This paper describes the results of recent meetings held to establish a consensus on mindfulness and to develop conjointly a testable operational definition. We propose a two-component model of mindfulness and specify each component in terms of specific behaviors, experiential manifestations, and implicated psychological processes. We then address issues regarding temporal stability and situational specificity and speculate on the conceptual and operational distinctiveness of mindfulness. We conclude this paper by discussing implications for instrument development and briefly describing our own approach to measurement.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors test the effect of entrepreneurship programs on the entrepreneurial attitudes and intentions of science and engineering students and find that the programs raise some attitudes and the overall entrepreneurial intention and that inspiration is the programs' most influential benefit.

TL;DR: Advances in the conceptualization and measurement of life stress in the past 2 decades raise several questions concerning traditional diathesis-stress theories of psychopathology, and information is available on diatheses and stress for specific disorders to provide a foundation for more empirically based hypotheses about diathetic-stress interactions.
Abstract: Advances in the conceptualization and measurement of life stress in the past 2 decades raise several questions concerning traditional diathesis— stress theories of psychopathology. First, comprehensive measures of life stress force investigators to become more precise about the particular stressful circumstances hypothesized to interact with diatheses. Second, the influence of the diathesis on a person's life is typically ignored, which results in several types of possible bias in the assessment of life stress. Finally, information is available on diatheses and stress for specific disorders to provide a foundation for more empirically based hypotheses about diathesis—stress interactions. This possibility is outlined for depression. Such an approach provides the basis for developing broader, yet more specific, frameworks for investigating diathesis—stress theories of psychopathology in general and of depression in particular.

TL;DR: The investigation of spiritual/religious factors in health is clearly warranted and clinically relevant and the persistent predictive relationship between religious variables and health, and its implications for future research and practice are explored.
Abstract: The investigation of spiritual/religious factors in health is clearly warranted and clinically relevant. This special section explores the persistent predictive relationship between religious variables and health, and its implications for future research and practice. The section reviews epidemiological evidence linking religiousness to morbidity and mortality, possible biological pathways linking spirituality/religiousness to health, and advances in the assessment of spiritual/religious variables in research and practice. This introduction provides an overview of this field of research and addresses 3 related methodological issues: definitions of terms, approaches to statistical control, and criteria used to judge the level of supporting evidence for specific hypotheses. The study of spirituality and health is a true frontier for psychology and one with high public interest.

TL;DR: The various approaches to the validity problem are reviewed in the hope of turning this debate about what it means to do valid research in the field of qualitative inquiry into a dialogue.
Abstract: Designing and carrying out effective and valid research are the desired goals of all researchers, and demonstrating the trustworthiness of one's dissertation research is a requirement for all doctoral candidates. For qualitative researchers, reaching the desired goal and meeting the requirement of trustworthiness become particularly problematic due to the considerable debate about what it means to do valid research in the field of qualitative inquiry. This article reviews the various approaches to the validity problem in the hope of turning this debate into a dialogue. Validity is traced from its origins in the realist ontology and foundational epistemology of quantitative inquiry to its reformulations within the lifeworld ontology and non-foundationalism of interpretive human inquiry. Various recent qualitative approaches to validity are considered, and interpretive reconfigurations of validity are reviewed. Interpretive approaches to validity are synthesized as ethical and substantive procedures of validation.
