Evaluating the efficacy of electric fields on invasive crayfish based on observed behavioral changes

A contributing vector for the influx of invasive species into the Great Lakes has been via the system of channels and canals that make up the Chicago Area Waterway Systems (CAWS). This system provides a continuous artificial aquatic connection between the Great Lakes and Mississippi River Basins. Currently, the continued expansion of invasive carp species (Hypophthalmichthys nobilis & molitrix) has been slowed by a system of electric barriers operated by the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers. There is limited work on the effectiveness of this barrier against other invasives. In this study, observations were recorded for invasive/potential invasive invertebrates to gain insight into the efficacy of this control method for invasive crayfish species

The Effects of Internalized Shame and Self-Blame on Disordered Eating and Drive for Muscularity in Collegiate Men

Purpose The purpose of the present study was to explore the relative contributions of self-blame and internalized shame to variability in disordered eating and drive for muscularity scores in collegiate men. Method One hundred and sixty-eight male college students in the Rocky Mountain region of the USA completed valid and reliable self-report survey measures: the Drive for Muscularity Scale, the Internalized Shame Scale, the Shame and Guilt Eating Scale to assess self-blame, and the Eating Attitudes Test. Cross-sectional data were analyzed through descriptive, correlation, and regression statistics. Results Men who reported higher levels of self-blame, r = 0.39, p \u3c 0.001, and internalized shame, r = 0.38, p \u3c 0.001, also reported higher levels of eating disorder symptomology. Similarly, men who scored higher on internalized shame, r = 0.20, p \u3c 0.01, reported higher scores on drive for muscularity. Regression analyses revealed that internalized shame was the sole contributor to variability in drive for muscularity scores, β = 0.20, p \u3c 0.01, whereas both self-blame, β = 0.27, p \u3c 0.001, and internalized shame, β = 0.24, p \u3c 0.001, contributed to scores on disordered eating attitudes and behaviors in men. Conclusions Our study was the first to examine how internalized shame and self-blame relate to drive for muscularity and disordered eating in collegiate men. Our results suggest that both self-blame and internalized shame may contribute to disordered eating in men. Additionally, internalized shame appears to relate to drive for muscularity in men. Clinicians may wish to consider how they approach treatment given the potential contributions of internalized shame and self-blame to disordered eating in their male clients.

An Examination of Ethnic Subgroup Score Differences Between Different Types of Situational Judgement Tests

Situational Judgement Tests (SJTs) are assessments which place the respondent in a situation where they are asked to select, rate, or respond with the best given answer for a given scenario. One current issue for the use of SJTs today is finding ways to reduce levels of ethnic subgroup differences in scores which can lead to adverse impact. The purpose of the current study is to examine the components of SJTs having potential in reducing ethnic subgroup differences in scores. While there is ample research suggesting there are differences in ethnic subgroup scores that can be found using different formats of SJTs (e.g., written, audio, and multimedia), more research is still needed. There is also ubiquitous support suggesting cognitive loading significantly leads to greater ethnic subgroup differences in SJT scores, but more research should be conducted to compare differences between SJTs analyzing either cognitive ability or interpersonal ability (e.g., teamwork facilitation), while additionally examining differences in scores between SJT formats. The first hypothesis involves examining score differences between two types of SJTs (one written and read normally, and one with an audio enhancement). The second hypothesis involves examining subgroup differences between SJTs assessing interpersonal ability and cognitive ability. The participants will consist of undergraduate psychology students and individuals from the Amazon Mechanical Turk (M-Turk). The study is a between-subjects design and cross-sectional, with participants placed randomly into one of two groups for the two different formats of SJTs. The measures will include three SJTs. One will assess interpersonal ability, and the other two will be used to assess cognitive ability. These three SJTs will be administered to every participant. The full questionnaire containing the three SJTs will be administered through Qualtrics and the SONA pool. The audio enhanced SJTs will be created using an external software program, and each audio-visual item will be uploaded or linked to Qualtrics for each item. Data will be analyzed using a t-test and analysis of variance

Del movimiento de los entes naturales a la dinámica transpersonal del viviente humano: ¿quién es el sujeto de percepción?

Phénoménologie de la perception is undoubtedly one of the most powerful works of French 20th century thought. It poses an ancient and new question at the same time, at the crossroads of phenomenological-existential philosophy with various disciplines that works on the living human being: who is the subject of perception? Merleau-Ponty will answer in this already classic work: the lived body. There, the lived body will be characterized as a particular type of movement, which, in the path of existential phenomenology, acquires the form of an intentional movement, of a transcendence and, finally, of a movement of temporalization that is, in Husserlian terms, the very subjectivity. Taking these analyses as a starting point, we will try to develop in this paper the thesis according to which the lived body must be understood, in Phénoménologie de la perception, as a transpersonal subjective movement. In order to develop this idea, I will start with a general overview of the problem of the relationship between body, movement and life, in front of which Phénoménologie de la perception is presented as a continuity and as a rupture. In the second place, I will present the fundamental concepts that lead to the Merleau-Pontyan conception of the lived body as a subjective movement. In the third place, I will focus my reading on the possibilities opened by this analysis of the body experience that I call transpersonal.Phénoménologie de la perception es, sin duda, una de las obras más potentes del pensamiento francés del siglo XX. Allí se plantea una pregunta antigua y novedosa al mismo tiempo, en el cruce de la filosofía fenomenológico-existencial con diversas disciplinas que se ocupan del viviente humano: ¿quién es el sujeto de percepción? Merleau-Ponty responderá en esta obra ya clásica: el cuerpo vivido. Éste será, a su vez, caracterizado como un tipo particular de movimiento, que, en el camino de la fenomenología existencial, adquiere la forma de un movimiento intencional, de una trascendencia y, finalmente, de un movimiento de temporalización que es, en términos husserlianos, la propia subjetividad. Tomando como punto de partida estos análisis, buscaremos desarrollar en este trabajo la tesis según la cual el cuerpo vivido debe comprenderse, en Phénoménologie de la perception, como un movimiento subjetivo transpersonal. Para desarrollar esta idea, partiré de un panorama general sobre el problema de la relación entre cuerpo, movimiento y vida frente al cual Phénoménologie de la perception se presenta como una continuidad y como una ruptura. En segundo lugar, presentaré los conceptos fundamentales que conducen a la concepción merleau-pontyana del cuerpo vivido como movimiento subjetivo para, en tercer lugar, centrar mi lectura en las posibilidades abiertas por este análisis de la experiencia corporal que denomino transpersonal

Cuestiones fundamentales de fenomenología clásica: un acercamiento a su método y a sus posibles aplicaciones

Phenomenology is a philosophical perspective first established at the beginning of the twentieth century andremains being developed. It was shaped during the first quarter of that century, diversified during the secondone, and took multiple roads since the 1950s. As a result, it is not possible to talk of ‘the one’ phenomenology, but instead it is necessary to speak of a phenomenological ‘project’. The article presents an approach to the issues, method, and possible applications of phenomenological philosophy. First, it addresses the meaning of the generalphenomenological project and that of the project of three of its classical representatives: Edmund Husserl, Martin Heidegger and Maurice Merleau-Ponty. Secondly, it introduces some of the key concepts of these philosophers, highlighting the continuities and breaks. Finally, it suggests a concrete example of a possible application of the phenomenological approach and method through our contemporary experience of corporeal distance.La fenomenología es una corriente filosófica que nace en los albores del siglo XX y continúa hasta nuestros días, enmarcada en un proyecto que toma forma durante el primer cuarto del siglo pasado, se diversifica en el segundo y prosigue múltiples caminos a partir de la década 1950. Resulta, por tanto, imposible hablar de “la” fenomenología, y necesario, en cambio, referirnos a un “proyecto” fenomenológico. En este artículo, ofrecemos un acercamientoa los problemas generales, la metodología y las posibles aplicaciones de la filosofía fenomenológica. En un primer momento, se abordará el sentido del proyecto fenomenológico general y el de tres de sus representantes clásicos y fundamentales: nos referimos a Husserl, Heidegger y Merleau-Ponty. En un segundo momento, buscaremos desplegar algunos de los conceptos más significativos en las propuesta de estos autores, destacando sus continuidades y rupturas. Finalmente, propondremos una ejemplo concreto de aplicación de la perspectiva y método fenomenológico a partir de nuestra experiencia contemporánea de la distancia corpórea

Phenomenology of the institution, between philosophy and the humanities: Life, time and the common

El presente trabajo busca desarrollar dos hipótesis en paralelo: por un lado, afirma la idea de que no es posible comprender la noción fenomenológica de institución sin comprender la relación que ésta guarda con el pensamiento social francés. Por otro, sostiene la idea según la cual es posible reconducir discusiones actuales de las ciencias humanas, centradas fuertemente en la categoría de institución, a un marco metodológico y teórico riguroso a través de su elaboración desde la perspectiva de una fenomenología de la institución. Para justificar ambas hipótesis intentaremos mostrar, por un lado, cómo la noción merleau-pontiana de institución se nutre de los problemas y soluciones tentativas abiertos por el pensamiento social francés, al mismo tiempo que le aporta un nuevo marco teórico y productivas perspectivas.This article seeks to develop two parallel hypotheses: on the one hand, it affirms the idea that it is not possible to understand the phenomenological notion of institution in the absence of an understanding of its relation to French social thought; on the other, it sustains the idea that it is possible to redirect current discussions in the human sciences –that currently center strongly on the category of institution– towards a rigorous methodological and theoretical framework by elaborating them from the perspective of a phenomenology of the institution. To justify these two hypotheses, we intend, first, to show how the Merleau-Pontian notion of institution feeds on the problems and tentative solutions offered by French social thought while, second, providing a new theoretical framework and productive perspectives.Fil: Larison, Mariana Isabel.

Renaud Barbaras e a vitalidade da fenomenologia

A fenomenologia de Renaud Barbaras é uma das poucas que continua hoje tentando aprofundar, de maneira original, o caminho aberto pela fenomenologia husserliana. Mas qual é, precisamente, o caminho escolhido por Barbaras para se inscrever na tradição fenomenológica? De que modo se insere no diálogo aberto por esta tradição? Neste texto, tentaremos repor os problemas e conceitos principais que nos permitem compreender a continuidade e a ruptura que apresenta a fenomenologia barbarasiana em relação a esta tradição, assim como alguns dos limites de sua própria proposta.The phenomenology of Renaud Barbaras is one of the few that continues today trying to deepen, in an original way, the path opened by Husserlian phenomenology. But which is, precisely, the way chosen by Barbaras to enter in the phenomenological tradition? How does he introduces himself in the dialogue opened by this tradition? In this paper, we will try to restore the key issues and concepts that allow us to understand the continuity and rupture of the barbarasian phenomenology in relation to this tradition, as well as some of the limits of its own proposal
