Abstract. Several studies demonstrated that a high need for closure (NFC) is associated with higher prejudice toward the out-group. This study aims to investigate how this effect can be moderated by attributions of morality to the in-group and the out-group. A questionnaire was administered to 725 participants. The results showed a positive relationship between NFC and prejudice when the in-group was evaluated as more moral than the out-group. This relationship was weaker when the out-group was evaluated as more moral than the in-group. These findings implicated that it is possible to reduce prejudice in individuals with high NFC by manipulating perceptions of in-group and out-group morality.

SummaryRecords of 81 heifers, daughters of 6 bulls, were examined to determine the regressions of milk yield, corrected for lactation length, on initial liveweight and age at calving.Age was found to have no significant effect and was discarded in the final analysis.The regression equations were similar for the different groups of half-sibs, except for one group whose members had not been fed according to milk yield. After removal of this group, a highly significant positive relationship between lactation yield and liveweight at calving was found ‘within bull groups’. The mean values of groups of halfsibs did not show this relationship, and significant differences in milk yield still persisted between groups after adjustment for liveweight differences.It was concluded that herd improvement by choosing heifers solely on the basis of liveweight shortly after calving appears unlikely to be effective unless the sire's potential is known and the feeding during lactation takes into account the greater maintenance requirements of heavier animals.

Fat globule size and phospholipid (PL) content in human milk (HM) were investigated. HM was classified into three groups depending on fat content (A < B < C). PL content (mg/100 g HM) was significantly higher in the C group (p < 0.05), indicating its positive relationship with HM fat content. When the PL content was normalized (mg/g fat), that of group A was significantly higher (p < 0.05) and fat droplet size in group C was slightly larger, suggesting that HM fat content is affected by fat droplet numbers to a larger extent than by fat droplet size. A correlation between PC and SM content in HM was observed regardless of fat content, while correlation between PE and either PC or SM increased in the order of C > B > A, hence the composition and content of PL species in HM varied according to its fat content.

Sebagai mahasiswa biasanya banyak menghabiskan waktu di dalam kelompok-kelompok keorganisasian diluar kampus. Agar diterima kelompok, umumnya mahasiswa akan melakukan konformitas. Konformitas yang dilakukan oleh mahasiswa salah satunya dapat dilihat dari kelompok keagamaan yaitu Hizbut Tahrir (HT). Melalui kelompok tersebut itulah sesungguhnya seseorang belajar mengidentifikasikan dirinya. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan identitas diri dengan konformitas pada mahasiswa yang mengikuti HT. hipotesis dalam penelitian ini ada hubungan identitas diri dengan konformitas pada mahasiswa yang mengikuti HT. subjek dalam penelitian ini berjumlah 50 orang mahasiswa yang mengikuti HT daerah Banjarbaru dan Banjarmasin. Pemilihan subjek dengan menggunakan teknik accedential sampling. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kuantitatif, dengan menggunakan skala identitas diri dan skala konformitas. Hasil analisa data menggunakan korelasi product moment dihasilkan koefisien korelasi sebesar 0,302 signifikansi 0,033 artinya ada hubungan positif antara identitas diri dengan konformitas. Sumbangan efektif identitas diri terhadap konformitas sebesar 9,1%, artinya hubungan identitas diri dengan konformitas tidak terlalu besar, sisaya sebesar 90,9% sumbangan dari variabel-variabel lain yang tidak diteliti pada penelitian ini. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian tersebut, maka dapat disimpulkan ada hubungan identitas diri dengan konformitas pada mahasiswa yang mengikuti HT. Kata Kunci: Identitas Diri, Konformitas, Hizbut Tahrir Students usually spend more time in organizational groups outside the campus. To be accepted into a group, the students will usually do conformity. One of the conformities performed by the students can be seen in a religious group, namely Hizb ut-Tahrir (HT). Through the group a person can learn to identify himself. The objective of this study was to find out the relationship between self identity and conformity in the students joining the HT. The hypothesis was that there was a relationship between self identity and conformity in the students joining the HT. The subjects in this study were 50 students joining the HT in Banjarbaru and Banjarmasin. The subjects were selected using the accidental sampling technique. The method used in this study was a quantitative method, using a scale of self identity and a scale of conformity. The data analysis using the product moment correlation resulted in the correlation coefficient of 0.302 with significance of 0.033, indicating that there was a positive relationship between self identity and conformity. The effective contribution of self identity to conformity was 9.1%, showing that the relationship between self identity and conformity was not that strong, and the remaining 90.9% was contributed by other variables not examined in this study. Based on the results, it can be concluded there was a relationship between self identity and conformity in students joining the HT. Keywords: self identity, conformity, Hizbut-Tahrir

The predictions of the Multi Component Model (Van Rooy Vanhoomissen, &amp; Overwalle, 2013) regarding the interaction between Need for Closure (NfC) and social influence on the development and maintenance of illusory correlation (IC) were tested. Participants were given a series of statements about members of two groups (A and B) committing either “bad” or “good” actions. Within a classic IC design, participants formed a more negative stereotype of the minority group B compared to the majority group A, essentially showing an expected illusory correlation between group membership and desirability of behaviour. In an extension to the classic IC paradigm, Need for Closure (NfC) was then manipulated during a novel social influence phase. During this phase, participants rated statements describing the qualities of members of the groups as being true or untrue, either under time pressure (high NfC condition) or not (low NfC condition). After each rating, participants were shown feedback from either one participant (Low Social Impact Condition) or three participants (High Social Impact Condition) taking a stance opposite to the IC effect. Contrary to what was hypothesised, individuals were more likely to change their view of the majority group compared to the minority group when subjected to social influence. Additionally, hypotheses relating to the interaction between social influence and NfC were not supported. We argue that the results indicate the need for more research to explore the interactions between NfC, social influence, and the IC effect.

This article presents an in-depth discussion about cross ethnic friendship among students and teacher's role in supporting the cultural diversity that exists in school. The school which consist of students from various ethnic groups provide space and opportunities for students to interact socially with peers either from the same or other ethnic groups. On the other hand, the school that consists of only one ethnic group limits the opportunity for students to interact with friends from different ethnic groups. Students who have attended the schools that are not diverse in terms of ethnicity were reported having more friends from the same ethnic group. A positive relationship between individuals from different ethnic groups led to the reduction in prejudice, enhance the sense of common identity and closeness among individuals. Teachers as agents of unity should play an important role in assisting students to acquire the necessary social skills that enables them to interact effectively with students from different ethnic, cultural and languages which consequently create a harmony cross ethnic friendships among multi-ethnic students in school.

Injection Protocol

Streptococcal cell membrane (SCM) antiserum injected mice show a significant thickening of glomerular basement membrane (GBM) and an increase in mesangial matrix within 4 to 24 hours of antiserum administration (1,2,3). This study was undertaken to evaluate the incorporation of 3H proline into glomerular cells and GBM under normal and anti-SCM induced conditions. Mice were administered, intraperitoneally, 0.1 ml of normal or anti-SCM serum followed by a 10 µC/g body weight injection of 3H proline. Details of the preparation of anti-SCM (Group A type 12 streptococcal pyogenes) and other sera and injection protocol have been described elsewhere (2). After 15 minutes of isotope injection a chase of cold proline was given and animal sacrificed at 20 minutes, 1,2,4,8,24 and 48 hours. One of the removed kidneys was processed for immunofluorescence, light and electron microscopic radioautographic studies; second kidney was used for GBM isolation and aminoacid analysis.

Aim The purpose of this study was to develop and assess the reliability of a Hindi version of the Consensus Auditory-Perceptual Evaluation of Voice (CAPE-V). Reliability was assessed by comparing Hindi CAPE-V ratings with English CAPE-V ratings and by the Grade, Roughness, Breathiness, Asthenia and Strain (GRBAS) scale. Method Hindi sentences were created to match the phonemic load of the corresponding English CAPE-V sentences. The Hindi sentences were adapted for linguistic content. The original English and adapted Hindi CAPE-V and GRBAS were completed for 33 bilingual individuals with normal voice quality. Additionally, the Hindi CAPE-V and GRBAS were completed for 13 Hindi speakers with disordered voice quality. The agreement of CAPE-V ratings was assessed between language versions, GRBAS ratings, and two rater pairs (three raters in total). Pearson product–moment correlation was completed for all comparisons. Results A strong correlation ( r > .8, p < .01) was found between the Hindi CAPE-V scores and the English CAPE-V scores for most variables in normal voice participants. A weak correlation was found for the variable of strain ( r < .2, p = .400) in the normative group. A strong correlation ( r > .6, p < .01) was found between the overall severity/grade, roughness, and breathiness scores in the GRBAS scale and the CAPE-V scale in normal and disordered voice samples. Significant interrater reliability ( r > .75) was present in overall severity and breathiness. Conclusions The Hindi version of the CAPE-V demonstrates good interrater reliability and concurrent validity with the English CAPE-V and the GRBAS. The Hindi CAPE-V can be used for the auditory-perceptual voice assessment of Hindi speakers.
