The Ideal

As public consciousness of sexism is increasing in the workplace (e.g., #MeToo movement), labeling oneself as an ally (e.g., UN HeforShe campaign) is becoming more socially desirable for men. However, do women agree with such men in their assessments of being allies? In particular, how do women’s perspectives of men’s allyship affect their own inclusion-relevant outcomes? Using a multi-informant design and data from 101 men-women colleague pairs, this study considered men’s self-perceptions and women’s other-reports of men’s key allyship-relevant characteristics - justice, moral courage, emotional intelligence, civility, and allyship. Polynomial regression and response surface analyses revealed differential impacts of (in)congruence between men’s and women’s perceptions on women’s sense of inclusion and vitality. Simply, when women perceived men as higher (or the same) in justice, moral courage, emotional intelligence, and civility than men reported themselves, it positively predicted women’s outcomes. This suggests that humble self-presentation by men on characteristics that are parallel to allyship (but not allyship) may be ideal. Yet, both under- and over-estimation by men on allyship itself predicted poorer outcomes for women, suggesting that the ideal is for men to have an accurate assessment of their own strengths and weaknesses as an ally.

The Relationship

Objective: This study investigated biased self-perceptions of academic and social competence among young adolescents with a range of ADHD symptoms. The goal was to better understand how to measure agreement and disagreement between competence ratings from multiple informants. Method: The commonly used discrepancy methodology was used along with polynomial regression/response surface analyses to explore the relationship between biased self-perceptions and ADHD symptoms. Participants were 164 middle school students and their homeroom teachers. Students and teachers completed measures about academic and social competence, and teachers rated ADHD symptoms. Results: Discrepancy score and polynomial regression/response surface analyses both supported the relationship between student overestimation of competence and ADHD symptoms. Response surface analyses also suggest that some students with ADHD symptoms accurately perceive their impairments, particularly in the academic domain. Conclusion: Findings demonstrate the importance of using more advanced methods to understand the relationship between both accurate and discrepant perceptions of competence and ADHD symptoms.

This study was conducted to determine fetal biparietal diameter and abdominal circumference ratio in Bangladesh. There is still no table of this ratio in our country. A prospective, cross-sectional study was conducted on well dated, singleton fetuses of healthy pregnant women. One table and two graphs were prepared by fitting Polynomial regression model. Percentiles, mean and two standard deviations were derived of the ratio. Fetal charts of the raw data with superimposed fitted curves were constructed. The model showed a good fit to the data of 1223 subjects. It covered 95% of the population and gave 3rd, 10th, 50th, 90th and 97th percentiles. This chart can be useful for accurate assessment of fetal biparietal diameter and abdominal circumference ratio to determine the type of fetal growth abnormality, symmetrical or asymmetrical. This is the first time that this ratio has been studied in Bangladesh. Key words: Biparietal diameter; abdominal circumference.

ObjectiveFor centuries, researchers have been interested in the factors determining political preference. These four studies tested the prediction that a match between political leaders’ and voters’ implicit motives – i.e., non-conscious tendencies to strive for particular social rewards – predicts the appeal of leaders.MethodWe used student samples in all studies (Study 1a: N = 100; Study 1b: N = 52; Study 2: N = 72; Study 3: N = 62). We assessed two implicit motives: (a) the achievement motive, which refers to striving for excellence, and (b) the affiliation motive, which refers to striving for social harmony. Correlational analyses and polynomial regression with response surface analysis were used to assess the relation between implicit motives and political preference.ResultsParticipants were more likely to positively evaluate and vote for politicians whose speeches indicated a motive profile that matched their own implicit motives. Thus, people who are relatively achievement-motivated prefer relatively achievement-motivated candidates, and participants who are relatively affiliation-motivated prefer relatively affiliation -motivated candidates. Conversely, explicitly measured motives did not have these predictive effects.ConclusionsThese results indicate that individual differences in implicit motives play a significant role in political preference.

War Film

The chapter outlines the deserter narrative in American war culture, with a focus on the inherent tensions between normative ideals of masculinity and transgressive notions of cowardice. The chapter then analyzes Kimberly Peirce’s 2008 Iraq War film Stop-Loss in this context. The U.S. war film genre is regulated by certain conventions regarding masculinity, heroism and national identity, but by presenting the transgressive act of desertion as one of moral courage, Peirce challenges established notions of military masculinity and national identity. This challenge remains temporary, though: the main character retains the culturally powerful trope of the ideal male soldier. Ultimately, he is unable to turn his back on his men and his country, and the film is unable to fully undermine the potent trope that links nation, military and masculinity.

Using the phosphogypsum as adsorbent prepared from microwave modified for the removal of lead ions from aqueous solution has been investigated under optimized conditions in this study. Influences of parameters like adsorbent dose 0.5-1.5g/100mL, initial concentration of ions 20–60 mg/L , pH 5.0–7.0 and temperature 20–30°C on Pb ions adsorption were also examined, using Box-Behnken design matrix. Very high regression coefficient between the variables and the response indicates excellent evaluation of experimental data by second order polynomial regression model. The response surface method indicated that adsorbent dose 1.0g/100mL, initial concentration of ions 40mg/L , pH 7.0 and temperature 20°C were optimal for adsorption of Pb ions .

Abstract Response surface methodology (RSM) was used to model and optimize the immobilized Candida antarctica lipase B catalysed synthesis of butyl-4-methyl-3-oxopentanoate. To determine optimum conditions of the transesterification, a four-factor and five-level central composite rotatable design (CCRD) was used. The factors studied were enzyme load (A), reaction temperature (B), methyl-4-methyl-3-oxopentanoate concentration (C) and n-butanol concentration (D). A quadratic polynomial regression model was used to analyze the experimental data at a 95% confidence level (p < 0.05). The results indicated that the RSM approach gave reasonable results for the optimization of the reaction parameters in the range of tested parameters. The optimal conditions for the enzymatic reaction were obtained at 0.01 mol of methyl-4-methyl-3-oxopentanoate and 0.03 mol of n-butanol using 104 mg of Novozym 435 at 55 °C and 300 rpm for 6 h. Under these conditions, the transesterification percentage was 87 %. Further, kinetic modelling of the enzymatic synthesis was illustrated. Initial rate data and progress curve data were used to arrive at a suitable model. The kinetics was found to obey the ternary complex ordered bi-bi model with inhibition by the substrate methyl-4-methyl-3-oxopentanoate. The values of kinetic parameters obtained from nonlinear regression analysis were found to be Vmax of 0.04 mol/L.min; Km(A) 0.11 mol/L; Km(B) 2 mol/L and Ki(A) 2.2 mol/L.
