Parental mental illness is a challenging issue in child custody disputes. Mentally ill parents engaged in custody battles with former partners can be concerning for a court that must determine what is in the best interests of the child. Parental mental health is critical in custody determinations, yet New York does not require a mental health evaluation for mentally ill parents. This Note proposes that the New York legislature amend Domestic Relations Law Section 240 to require mental health evaluations for mentally ill parents when deciding what is in the best interests of the child.

U.S. policies influence worldwide responses to sexual offending and community control. Individuals in the U.S. convicted of sex offenses experience surveillance and control beyond their sentences, including public registries and residency restrictions. While the targets are the convicted individuals, many registrants have romantic partners, children, and other family members also navigating these restrictions. Findings from a qualitative study using written and interview responses from a hard-to-reach group—family members of registrants (n  =  58)—reveal legal and extra-legal surveillance and control beyond the intended target. We argue that family members are "secondary registrants" enduring both the reach of sex offense policies into their personal lives and targeted harms because of their relationship with a convicted individual, including vigilantism and a "sex offender surcharge." Family members engage in advocacy work to ameliorate sex offense restrictions to counteract their own stigmatization and social exclusion. Conceptually, secondary registration captures the unique and expansive reach of policy, state surveillance, and coercion on registrant family members and raises new concerns about spillover harm. Secondary registration demonstrates an understudied example of the neoliberal penal practice of de-centering the state but with the addition of deep stigmatization and the spread of sovereign and vigilante violence onto families.

Breakfast intake is associated with numerous positive physical and mental health outcomes, yet skipping breakfast remains common in adults. Sleep behaviors show potential as predictors of breakfast intake; the existing literature, however, has methodological limitations. The current investigation explored the association of means and intraindividual variability of a variety of sleep behaviors (bedtime, midsleep, sleep duration) as predictors of the frequency of eating breakfast and frequency of high-protein breakfast intake. Hierarchical regressions were conducted to assess direct associations between sleep behaviors and breakfast intake frequency. Variability in bedtime was a significant predictor of the frequency of breakfast intake, with greater variability associated with less frequent intake. Variability in sleep duration and midsleep was not significant predictors of the frequency of breakfast intake. Both variability and mean sleep behaviors were not significant predictors of the frequency of breakfast intake or high-protein breakfast intake. Because greater regularity in bedtimes was associated with more frequent breakfast intake, it is plausible that there should be increased education regarding the importance of regularity of sleep behaviors.

AbstractFloods, particularly urban flash floods, frequently disrupt traffic, constraining mobility and exposing motorists to danger. Flood risk managers educate the public on the dangers of driving through flooded roadways, yet losses to life and property continue to occur. This study integrates cultural psychology and risk perception theory to explore how cultural and situational factors influence motorists' behavior during flash floods. Flood risk managers in Tucson, Arizona, collaborated in the development of a questionnaire mailed to local residents in 2007. Self-reported levels of trust, self-efficacy, social incorporation, and situational factors were analyzed with respect to whether respondents stated that they have or have not driven through a flooded roadway. Respondents demonstrate complex reasoning when confronted with flooded roadways, rather than simple or consistent risk-taking or risk-avoidance behaviors. Participants indicate high levels of trust in official warning messages and share information about floods within their social networks, highlighting the success of education campaigns. However, flood conditions are not always clear, so motorists seek additional sources of information and weigh the dangers against other situational factors on a case-by-case basis. Factors that influence respondents' decisions include the prior successful crossing of other vehicles, presence of signs and barricades, presence of passengers, risk of personal injury or damage to the vehicle, and the availability of flood-related information. The results also show that individuals who know how to avoid floods, including by asking others for advice, are less likely to enter flooded roadways, and thus communicating further instructions will empower more motorists to avoid danger.

An online survey, the
Understanding Emoji Survey
, was conducted to assess how English-speaking social media users interpret the pragmatic functions of emoji in examples adapted from public Facebook comments, based on a modified version of [15]'s taxonomy of functions. Of the responses received (N = 519; 351 females, 120 males, 48 "other"; 354 under 30, 165 over 30, age range 18--70+),
tone modification
was the preferred interpretation overall, followed by
virtual action
, although interpretations varied significantly by emoji type. Female and male interpretations were generally similar, while "other" gender respondents differed significantly in dispreferring
tone
and preferring
multiple functions
. Respondents over 30 often did not understand the functions or interpreted the emoji literally, while younger users interpreted them in more conventionalized ways. Older males were most likely, and younger females were least likely, to not understand emoji functions and to find emoji confusing or annoying, consistent with previously reported gender and age differences in attitudes toward, and frequency of, emoji use.

This chapter discusses the transition from high school to college for student‐athletes. The concepts of athlete identity and leadership development are discussed through the lens of the high school athlete who attends college as a collegiate athlete and those students who are dealing with a loss of their high school athlete identity.

ABSTRACTThe development of groundwater modelling techniques is reviewed, from analogue and early digital models to current commercial software packages. The parallel development of the application of groundwater modelling as a tool for evaluating the impact of developments and structures on hydrogeological systems is also examined. Formerly, new model programs were written for each application, requiring that the user had programming skills as well as hydrogeological expertise, and model development periods were measured in months or years. Now, a knowledge of the program details is not necessarily a prerequisite for a satisfactory model, which may be designed, constructed, calibrated and used in days or weeks. However, a thorough understanding of the conceptual model underlying a software package, and of the numerical methods used to generate the output, is as important as ever. Examples are given in the paper of the exploitation of commercial packages to produce rapid assessments of the impact on groundwater of proposed mineral workings and similar developments.

Since discovering SARS-CoV-2 (previously known as nCoV-19), an emerging infectious disease caused by a new virus under the family Coronaviridae, the number of reported occupational-related violence among frontline healthcare workers has been increasing. This study used a qualitative design that employed a random selection of fifteen (15) respondents from the five (5) DOH Hospitals in Central Luzon (Region 3). The data were analyzed to determine the codes/labels and the themes of the study. Analyses of the interviews identified four (4) significant themes, namely: (1)Awareness of Maltreatment, (2) Optimistic Perspective, (3) Spiritual Positivism, and (4) Proactive Health & Information Drive. Thesefindings suggested that government officials, hospital administrators, and community leaders should provide a concrete policy guideline on the safety of health care workers during the COVID-19 pandemic and impose necessary sanctions on those who pose a risk to their safety under the governing laws.In addition, the findings of the study also providethe need to address pressing issues on lack of support from different institutions especially in cases of communicable diseases such as COVID-19. It also suggests additional investment in health, science & technology, advancement in laboratory assays and medicine, and additional human resources accommodate increasing cases of emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases.

Abstract. We replicated and extended research on implicit simplicity: the tendency for personality judgments of acquaintances to be of lower dimensionality than those made for self or well-known others. Three hundred participants completed the Big Five Inventory for themselves, two well-known others, and two casual acquaintances, the latter four in a social and an academic/work setting. Correlations among the Big Five traits were higher for casual targets and close academic/work targets than for self or close social targets. Multidimensional scaling (MDS) analyses of BFI items showed that casual and close academic/work targets were predominantly defined by an evaluative dimension. MDS revealed that judgments of Conscientiousness and Openness were rendered in finer detail – perceived trait granularity – for self and close social targets.

THIS ARTICLE IS ON SPEAKING THE LANGUAGE OF EXILE. IT STATES THAT EXILE IS IN ITSELF A FORM OF DISSIDENCE, SINCE IT INVOLVES UPROOTING ONESELF FROM A FAMILY, A COUNTRY OR A LANGUAGE. MORE IMPORTANTLY, IT IS A IRRELIGIOUS ACT THAT CUTS ALL TIES, FOR RELIGION IS NOTHING MORE THAN MEMBERSHIP OF A REAL OR SYMBOLIC COMMUNITY WHICH MAY OR MAY NOT BE TRANSCENDENTAL, BUT WHICH ALWAYS CONSTITUTES A LINK, A HOMOLOGY, AN UNDERSTANDING. THE EXILE CUTS ALL LINKS. AMBIGUITY, UNCERTAINTY, AND THE CEASELESS QUESTIONING OF IDENTITY-THESE ARE RESOURCES OF THE EXILES. THE PURPOSE OF THE ARTICLE IS TO PROVIDE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR A PUBLIC CELEBRATION OF WHAT DISSIDENT WORKS OF THOUGHT ALREADY CELEBRATE IN COUNTLESS SCATTERED LOCALES OF RESEARCH LABOR: DIFFERENCE, NOT IDENTITY; THE QUESTIONING AND TRANSGRESSIONS OF LIMITS, NOT THE ASSERTION OF BOUNDARIES AND FRAMEWORKS; A READINESS TO QUESTION HOW MEANING AND ORDER ARE IMPOSED, NOT THE SEARCH FOR MEANING AND ORDER ALREADY IN PLACE; THE UNRELENTING AND METICULOUS ANALYSIS OF THE WORKINGS OF POWER IN MODERN GLOBAL LIFE, NOT THE LONGING FOR A SOVEREIGN FIGURE THAT PROMISES DELIVERANCE FROM POWER; THE STRUGGLE FOR FREEDOM, NOT A RELIGIOUS DESIRE TO PRODUCE SOME TERRITORIAL DOMICILE TO CALL HOME.
