The effect of sex hormones on decision-making in healthy young women

Risky decision-making is associated with several mental health disorders and deleterious health behaviours. As men are known to engage in riskier behaviours, the effects of testosterone on decision-making have been extensively studied. However, few studies have been conducted in women and by extension, examined female sex hormones (progesterone and estradiol). This study aimed to understand the role of sex hormones (progesterone, estradiol, and testosterone) on decision-making. Forty healthy young women provided saliva samples to assess their sex hormones before completing the Iowa Gambling Task. The goal of this decision-making task was to maximize monetary profits by drawing cards from four decks: two with large gains and larger losses (risky decks) and two with small gains and smaller losses (safe decks). For the purposes of data analysis, card draws were separated into five blocks of 20 draws each, allowing us to quantify the learning rate of the advantageous safe decks. Multilevel linear models revealed two inverse interactions: time*testosterone and time*progesterone. Specifically, lower levels of progesterone and higher levels of testosterone were independently associated with riskier decision-making. In both cases, this effect led to slower learning of the advantageous safer decks. These data suggest that the effects of testosterone on risk-taking are not unique to men. Moreover, the results suggest that progesterone also influence risk-taking. This raises important questions regarding risk-taking tendencies in women throughout the menstrual cycle (which induces endogenous hormonal variations) and in women using hormonal contraceptives (which dampen the menstrual cycle).

Game theory--optimum strategy for drawing cards in 21 points

Blackjack is a popular casino poker game in which players make drawing decisions based on rules other than the size of their points. We found that despite the randomness of the card draw, blackjack is actually very mathematical and logical. By calculating probabilities and using game theory, we can allow players to make relatively "rational" decisions that maximize their expectations of winning, rather than relying solely on guesswork and vague feelings. Therefore, in this article, we built several models to simulate a blackjack game with different numbers of people. For players in each model, we give them a code that outputs the optimal decision, which helps them figure out the winning percentage (more specifically, the expectation, since once stakes are involved in multiplayer games, the winning percentage doesn't necessarily represent the expectation of winning money) for each decision, thus helping the player make a better decision.

The Use of Visual Learning Media in The Development Optimization of Children with Mild Mental Retardation

Children with mild mental retardation are different from normal children in general. Mild mentally retarded children have learning difficulties evident in the academic field. Therefore, to teach learning materials to children with mild mental retardation, teachers need to provide learning media. One of them is visual media. So this study aims to analyze the use of visual learning media in optimizing all aspects of the development of mild mentally retarded children. This research uses the literature review method with thematic structure data collection techniques and Critical appraisal analysis techniques. In this study, all results obtained in the reviewed literature showed that visual learning media significantly influenced the development of children with mild mental retardation. The visual learning media used in the research that has been carried out are blocks, counting boards, drawing cards, word walls, busy books, and picture crosswords. This is undoubtedly very helpful for teachers in the learning process because visual media can contain various learning materials to increase the interest and enthusiasm for learning of children with mild mental retardation.

PENINGKATAN PRESTASI BELAJAR IPS MENGGUNAKAN MEDIA KARTU BERGAMBAR (DRAW CARD)

To upgrade learning achievement in Social Studies (IPS), the authors use the media with picture cards (Draw Card), the authors choose picture cards because these media are common media and easy to understand by students. This media also has the aim of attracting students' attention, clarifying the material, illustrating facts or information that will be quickly understood if illustrated with pictures. In addition, drawing card media (Draw Card) can be made easily and used according to the creativity of educators based on the material to be delivered.After observing and evaluating, the progress of students in the study of Increasing Learning Achievement in Social Studies (IPS) Using Picture Card Media (Draw Card) in class VI students of SDN Tasikmadu 02 Palang District, Tuban Regency. It can be concluded as follows (1) The application of illustrated card media (Draw Card) can be carried out properly and structured by researchers, implementation activities are carried out through pre-cycle activities, then cycle I and continues in cycle II. (2) Student achievement continues to show a significant increase compared to before using the media, student achievement tends to be low, namely 0 or no students who complete the minimum completeness criteria that have been set. It can be seen that the social studies learning achievement of 18 students, there are 18 students or 100% who get a complete score (T) and 0 students or 0% of students get an incomplete score (TT). His class average is 90. (3) Social Studies (IPS) learning achievement by using drawing card media (Draw Card) has increased which can be seen from the average value and classical completeness presentation, the pre-cycle value shows an average of 53.89% with the percentage of students who complete 0%. After the implementation of the picture card media in the first cycle, the formative test results reached 70% with the percentage of students who completed 9 and students who did not complete 9, in the second cycle an average increase of 90% and has reached the indicator of success of classical completeness, namely at least 85% of the total number of students. This shows that the use of picture card media (Draw Card) can improve Social Studies learning achievement.

A protein purification card game develops subject knowledge and transferable skills

ABSTRACT Games can help learners of all ages retain knowledge and build skills such as critical thinking. As such, they could be a useful tool in supporting practical training at the university level. This paper describes the development, use, and evaluation of a card game based on protein purification techniques, for a large cohort of undergraduates studying Molecular Biology and related subjects. Game materials are available and can be adapted for a different audience. Players collect cards representing chromatography columns, buffers, and elution methods by drawing cards from a common deck, and discard them in order to separate a single protein from a mixture of molecules with different properties (represented by a separate set of cards). Surveys showed that the game met its three goals: to assess, increase, and apply subject knowledge; to develop skills in communication and experimental planning; and to provide a fun experience. It was more successful for those students who enjoy games and puzzles in their spare time than for those who do not, correlating with the ‘gamer’ group finding it easier to understand and remember the rules of the game. Thus, games can form a useful part of biochemistry teaching practice.

Destination vs event attributes: Enduring spectators’ loyalty

Endurance athletes need social and emotional support from family and friends, who act as spectators at the event in which they participate. Although spectators fulfill a supportive role, does their loyalty lie with the event, the event destination or a combination of both? The case study was the Ironman Triathlon hosted in South African cities. Questionnaires were distributed to spectators on the race days, and 748 completed questionnaires were obtained. Three factor analyses were performed on the spectators’ travel motives, perception of destination attributes and perception of sport event attributes. Linear regression analyses were performed with event loyalty as the dependent variable, whereas the remaining motives, dimensions and attributes were the independent variables. The results revealed that a combination of factors was statistically significant and that a different set of determinants were observed for the two events. The results revealed that sport event organizers and destination management organizations should make use of both the event and the host destination attributes as drawing cards and act with local tourism and travel organizations to offer spectators a reduced fee for tourism offerings at the destination.

The Use of Drawing Cards Media to Increase the Skill of Gaining Vocabularies Among Deaf Students in Slb B Prima Bhakti Mulia Bandung

Deaf children find information and audio of delivery of information. According Haenudin (2013, p. 67) states that and is the result of a process of imitation, which is in a distinct language, which is very limited in vocabulary, it is difficult to interpret metaphorically and words are abstract. Media effective alternative to acquiring information (vocabulary) that use visual media. The method used in this research is qualitative research methods class action. The data obtained by means of work, interviewing, reporting and questionnaires as the data amplifier. In this research, there is the concept and implementation of learning a fun learning method, which focuses on vocabulary skills deaf students. Media used in this study is a picture card media (visual). The process of improving vocabulary skills deaf students with media picture cards include: (1) understanding of deaf students to images that have been, (2) mentions three existing words or related to the image you have selected, (3) the announcement of the picture with a vocabulary that is understood deaf students, (4) the researchers describe the image that has not been told by deaf students, (5) a decision deaf students to tell the whole picture is selected. The results of data analysis deaf students study vocabulary using picture card media that deaf students are still generalizing about objects that have the same characteristics. Students are many things that are concrete than the abstract. Acquiring vocabulary of deaf children by word classes nouns and adjectives word class a little understanding.

Personal Universes: revealing community college students’ competences though their organization of the cosmos

In this article I present a study on learners’ conceptions in cosmology by situating the results in the context of broader historical and sociocultural themes. Participants were community college students in California from non-dominant cultural and linguistic backgrounds finishing their first semester of astronomy. Data were collected through a drawing activity and card sort given during clinical-style interviews. This type of work is typically done from the perspective of conceptual change theory, using drawings to reveal student “misconceptions.” I argue that in analyzing this kind of data, we need to come from the perspective that students are competent, and put their conceptions in context. I begin by presenting traditional frameworks for evaluating and describing learning, all of which rely on an outdated “banking” or “transmission” model of learning that puts an over-emphasis on the performance and attributes of individuals. Not only do these theories provide an incomplete picture of what learning looks like, they create and reify unnecessary divides between “scientific” and “unscientific” that can contribute to student alienation from the world of science. To illustrate this, I present my own results as a window into the logic of learners’ assumptions within a sociocultural context, and suggest ways to support their learning trajectories, rather than figuring out how to unlearn their misconceptions. Through this analysis, I hope to show how taking student conceptions out of sociocultural context can potentially exclude students from non-dominant cultural and linguistic backgrounds from science.

Tourism product development and product diversification in destinations

Primary tourism products are key draw cards which attract tourists to particular destinations. The diversification, intensification and linkage of these products can be crucial for the competitiveness and sustainable development of destinations. Yet these diverse features and relationships of primary tourism products in destinations are neglected in existing research. This paper develops two conceptual frameworks which assist with analyzing and understanding the features, relationships and strategic options associated with tourism product development, concentration, diversification and intensification in destinations. Tourism product features and options considered here include the development of niche and mass tourism products, parallel and integrative diversification, and thematic and spatial synergies between products. A typology of strategic options for tourism product development and assembly in destinations is presented which is based on the degree of intensification and of concentration and diversification of tourism products.

Opportunities and Challenges in the Development of Micro-Brewing and Beer Tourism: A Preliminary Study from Alabama

Very recent changes in legislation of the state of Alabama over the consumption of beer at a higher alcohol by volume (ABV) are creating more favourable conditions for the establishment of a micro-brewing sector. The present exploratory study examines these current developments from the perspective of six “nascent” entrepreneurs. Participants' responses suggest the promising potential that a state craft-beer sector represents a niche market, also using locally brewed craft-beer in combination with food as drawing cards that may additionally lead to the development of beer tourism in the state. Respondents are in agreement, however, that more changes are needed in the current legislature, but continue to occur very slowly, thereby limiting their potential, growth and ultimately their success. Given the paucity of research on micro-brewing from an entrepreneurial perspective, the study provides new insights that could be further explored in future studies.

From the Midway to the Hall of State at Fair Park: Two Competing Views of Women at the Dallas Celebration of 1936

From the Midway to the Hall of State at Fair Park:Two Competing Views of Women at the Dallas Celebration of 1936 Light Townsend Cummins (bio) This essay will examine two conflicting and mutually exclusive roles that women played in the Central Centennial Celebration held at Fair Park in Dallas during the summer and fall of 1936.1 On one hand, the predominantly male planners of the fair exploited female beauty as a selling point for the exposition. On the other hand, women also played significant and more enduring roles in planning and implementing the Dallas exposition. This was most especially the case for women who advanced the cause of art at the exposition. Exposition planners exploited female beauty by means of publicity, advertising copy, and the creation of public attractions at Fair Park designed to increase attendance by objectifying beautiful women as drawing cards. In so doing, the celebration glorified women as purveyors of sex appeal and created an atmosphere at the centennial exposition that presented them to the public as embodiments of largely male-defined characterizations of femininity. New technical advances by the 1930s in the practices of photojournalism, including more portable cameras and the cost-effective printing of photographic images, along with the widespread [End Page 225] coverage of the Dallas exposition by radio broadcasting, sound motion pictures, and other mass circulation media helped to make the objectification of women more explicit than it had previously been in the realm of Texas public relations. This portrayal reinforced the prevailing notions of female beauty of the era. The impact of women at the Central Centennial Celebration was felt in ways other than through the exploitation of female beauty, too. Female artists, many of them highly educated women of social standing and civic accomplishment, existed apart from the beauty culture objectification of the exposition's public relations and, in retrospect, were a historical contradiction to it. In the larger arena of Texas history, this was consistent with the role that women played in the development of the visual arts in Texas. Female artists in the state during the 1930s used their art and their standing in the state's artistic community as a means to empower themselves socially, politically, and civically, thus advancing all women in the process. They certainly did so at Dallas's Fair Park during the Texas Centennial of 1936 as the exposition served as one of many venues during the 1930s for this evolving process of female empowerment undertaken by women artists during that decade. The centennial at Dallas in 1936 thus presents to the historian a stark example of two mutually exclusive, if not conflicting, roles that women played in the Fair Park exhibition and, by extrapolation, in Texas society at large. Beyond manifesting two different and self-contradictory viewpoints about women, on a larger canvass the Texas Centennial of 1936 marked a significant, generally positive moment in the economic and cultural development of the state. As historian Patrick Cox has noted, its "multiple events embodied a new 'Texan' image and myth that combined factual and fictional material."2 These activities would prove to be especially significant for Dallas because a combination of state and federal funds was allocated to revamp Fair Park into an Art Deco architectural monument for a grand celebration that would be the statewide centerpiece of the centennial. Officially known as the Central Centennial Exposition, this exposition ran from June to November 1936 at Fair Park, east of downtown, constituting one of the major statewide centerpieces of that year's events. Retailer Stanley Marcus, who personally played a role in supporting the exposition, later remarked that the Dallas exposition became a turning point not only in the history of the city, but the entire state. Recalling the tens of thousands of visitors who came to Dallas from the rest of the nation and abroad, Marcus observed: "They came, they looked, they liked it." He further remembered: "They returned to New York and to Chicago and to New Jersey with a clear understanding of where Texas was located and what [End Page 226] it was all about."3 The dozens of books and articles written in the intervening three quarters of...

Application of ice-breaking action in the construction of nurse team

Objective To discuss the application of ice-breaking action in the construction of nurse team, strengthen the cohesion of nurse team, therefore, to improve nursing quality. Methods First, let all nurses working in the same ward area to participate an action, namely ice-breaking action or secret angel action, in which every nurse chose secretly one of other nurses by drawing cards, then she often cared for that nurse secretly, namely she became a secret angel for that nurse. In return, she was also chosen and cared by one of others secretly. That means every nurse would become a secret angel, and owned a secret angel in the same time. Second, to test the change of happiness index of every nurse, the change of team's cohesion, and the change of patients' contentment indexes, before and after the secret-angel action was taken. Results Happiness indexes of 37 participants improved distinctly, and so did the contentment indexes of their patients after the secret-angel action was taken. Conclusions The secret-angel action can strengthen the cohesion of nurse team, improve happiness indexes of nurses, contentment indexes of their patients, and improve nursing quality. Key words: Ice-breaking action; Construction of nurse team; Application
