Do the Kallikaks look "menacing" or "retarded?"

To extend R. E. Fancher's (see record 1987-31600-001) review of claims that photographs of the Kallikak family in H. H. Goddard's (1912) study had been retouched to make them look more menacing and retarded, 29 Ss (aged 18–69 yrs) were surveyed for their impressions of the photographs. Overall, Ss were strongly inclined to view the photographed individuals as "kind" and "very bright." (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)     

More on Goddard and the Kallikak family photographs.

Discusses retouching of the Kallikak family photographs in H. H. Goddard's (1912) study of mental retardation and heredity, with reference to analyses by R. E. Fancher (see record 1987-31600-001) and S. J. Gould (1981), and concurs with Fancher that the retouching was probably not done for deceitful purposes.

Single-machine parallel-batching scheduling with family jobs to minimize weighted number of tardy jobs

We consider the problem of scheduling n jobs in batches on a single parallel-batching machine, where the jobs are partitioned into jobs families and the jobs in each family have the same due date. The objective is to minimize the weighted number of tardy jobs. We first devise an efficient pseudo-polynomial time and a fully polynomial time approximation scheme for the weighted problem. Then we present $O(n^2)$-time and $O(n\log n)$-time algorithms for the case where the jobs have the same weight and for the case where the jobs have the same processing time, respectively.

A hybrid tabu search for batching and sequencing decisions in a single machine environment

This paper proposes a hybrid tabu search (HTS) to minimise the total weighted tardiness (TWT) for the batching and sequencing of jobs originating from incompatible families in which sequence dependent family setup times exist on single machine. The developed HTS includes distinguished features such as the strict arc based tabu classification along with dynamic tabu tenures, hybrid neighbourhood structures and iterative phases which consist of job and batch sequencing phases. The authors developed a testing methodology to determine the quality of the HTS solution. A mixed integer linear programing (MILP) model was developed to evaluate the optimality of the solution of the HTS for a small-size instance that consists of 640 problems. In addition, three dispatching rule heuristic combinations (EDD–EDD, EDD–BATCS and ATC–BATCS) were developed to test the HTS for large-size instances that deals with 1440 problems. The HTS provided comparable results with the MILP for small-size instances and outperformed the developed dispatching heuristics.     

Face Threat and Facework Strategies When Family (Health) Secrets Are Revealed: A Comparison of South Korea and the United States

This study examined face threat and facework strategies when people witness family members disclosing sensitive health information to family outsiders. Korean and U.S. participants were expected to view these situations differently based on Confucian versus individualist identity and in‐group privacy norms. Korean and U.S. college samples evaluated vignettes in which health information was disclosed to family outsiders. Koreans regarded the situations as more face threatening and endorsed dominating facework in these situations to a greater extent than did Americans. The 2 cultures also showed strong similarities. Results confirmed the cultural basis of privacy expectations but contradicted some accounts of culturally based facework. Koreans did not consistently endorse indirect facework, nor did Americans show notable directness in response to privacy violations.     

An interpretation of the changes in demographic behaviour at a sub-national level using spatial measures in post-socialist countries: A case study of the Czech Republic and Slovakia

The transformation of fertility and family behaviour in post-socialist countries was quick and the changes were striking. An account of the changes is the subject of dispute and the mechanisms have still not been explained in a fully satisfying manner. Relatively little attention has been paid to the changes in spatial aspects concerning the broadening of changes in family behaviour. The aim of this paper is to answer the question as to whether changes spread stochastically in post-socialist countries or if there are obvious spatial patterns. The study tries to answer the questions whether there are any cores of changes which may be understood as innovations, if there is any spatial clustering and if the extent is hierarchically arranged.     

The indoor environment and the integrated design of homes for older people with dementia

There are currently about 6 million – mainly older – people with dementia in the European Union. With ageing, a number of sensory changes occur. Dementia syndrome exacerbates the effects of these sensory changes and alters perception of stimuli. People with dementia have an altered sensitivity for indoor environmental conditions, which can induce problematic behaviour with burdensome symptoms to both the person with dementia and the family carer. This paper, based on literature review, provides an overview of the indoor environmental parameters, as well as the integrated design and implementation of relevant building systems. The overview is presented in relation to the intrinsic ageing of senses, the responses of older people with dementia and the impact on other relevant stakeholders through the combined use of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health, and the Model of Integrated Building Design. Results are presented as indicators of the basic value, functional value and economic value, as well as a synthesis of building-related solutions. Results can help designers and building services engineers to create optimal environmental conditions inside the living environments for people with dementia, and can be used to raise awareness among health care professionals about of the influence of the indoor environment on behaviour of the person with dementia.
