Scaling Properties of Proton and Antiproton Production in √S NN = 200 GeV Au + Au Collisions

Abstract: We report on the yield of protons and antiprotons, as a function of centrality and transverse momentum, in Au+Au collisions at rootS(NN)=200 GeV measured at midrapidity by the PHENIX experiment at the BNL Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. In central collisions at intermediate transverse momenta (1.5

Is Incompatibilism Intuitive

Abstract: Incompatibilists believe free will is impossible if determinism is true, and they often claim that this view is supported by ordinary intuitions. We challenge the claim that incompatibilism is intuitive to most laypersons and discuss the significance of this challenge to the free will debate. After explaining why incompatibilists should want their view to accord with pretheoretical intuitions, we suggest that determining whether incompatibilism is in fact intuitive calls for empirical testing. We then present the results of our studies, which put significant pressure on the claim that incompatibilism is intuitive. Finally, we consider and respond to several potential objections to our approach. Incompatibilists believe that the freedom associated with moral responsibility is impossible if determinism is true, and they often claim that this is the natural view to take given that it is purportedly supported by ordinary intuitions. In this paper, we challenge the claim that incompatibilism is intuitive to most laypersons, and we discuss the significance of this challenge to the free will debate. In doing so, we first argue that it is particularly important for incompatibilists that their view of free will is intuitive given that it is more metaphysically demanding than compatibilist alternatives (§1). We then suggest that determining whether incompatibilism is in fact intuitive calls for empirical testing of pretheoretical judgments about relevant cases (§2). We therefore carried out some empirical studies of our own, and the results put significant pressure on the claim that incompatibilism is intuitive to the majority of laypersons (§3). Having examined the relevant data, we consider several potential objections to our approach and show why they fail to get incompatibilists off the hook (§4). We conclude that while our preliminary data suggest that incompatibilism is not as intuitive as incompatibilists have

Exercise level and energy expenditure in the TAKE 10! in-class physical activity program.

Abstract: This study evaluated the effectiveness of an innovative, classroom-based physical activity prevention program designed to integrate academic curriculum elements along with a physical activity program in providing moderate-to-vigorous intensity physical activity. A convenience sample of three public school classrooms (one first, third, and fifth grade class) was observed implementing the TAKE 10! program while monitored by either CSA accelerometers or digital pedometers. Pedometer step counts and CSA data were recorded for each student and activity. As calculated from CSA data, average MET levels during the activities were 5.72-7.05 (first grade), 5.51-6.77 (third grade), and 4.98-7.19 (fifth grade), and levels were not different between grades (p > 0.05). Average caloric expenditure (Kcal) per 10-minute session was 25.6-27.8 (first grade), 27.6-33.9 (third grade), and 29.7-42.9 (fifth grade). Measured pedometer step counts per session ranged from 644-931 in first grade, 659-1, 376 in third grade, and 1002-1041 in fifth grade. TAKE 10! sessions for all three grades produced exercise levels in the moderate intensity range throughout full duration of the session. Classroom-based physical activity promotion provides a useful strategy to promote meaningful physical activity among school children.

Lost Childhoods: The Plight Of The Parentified Child

Abstract: Part I Understanding: mapping the territory a causal model of destructive parentification consequences - parentified children and their families. Part II Treatment: evaluating childhood parentification - the I-D-C model treating destructively parentified children and their families - systematic and ethical perspectives breaking the deadlock - the case of Jamie parentified children grown up - treating destructive parentification in couples wounded healer - from parentified child to helping professional preventing destructive parentification.
