Online Dating in New Zealand: Why and how do people use Tinder?

<p>Online dating is becoming increasingly popular all over the world. However there is a dearth of research investigating online dating in New Zealand. The research presented here explores the prevalence of online dating in New Zealand, examining motivations, attitudes and outcomes associated with online dating (Study 1). It also investigates mate selection in an online dating context using a simulation of the popular mobile dating app, Tinder (Study 2). In Study 1, students from Victoria University of Wellington completed a survey developed by the author along with scales measuring individual differences on ideal standards and sociosexual orientation. As predicted, Study 1 found that online dating is prevalent in this sample (especially using Tinder), attitudes towards it were generally positive, and those using it more were more likely to be single, more sociosexually unrestricted, and rate physical attractiveness as more important in potential partners. Study 2 investigated the use of Tinder more specifically through an experimental simulation of this mobile dating app. Participants were presented with series of attractive and unattractive faces and asked to indicate whether they would hypothetically seek further contact (click heart icon to the right of the face) or uninterested (click cross icon to the left of the face). Response times and selections were recorded. As expected, men selected more faces than women, and responded equally rapidly regardless of the attractiveness of the face. In contrast, women responded significantly faster to the unattractive faces than the attractive faces. Results were predicted and interpreted in light of parental investment theory and in the context of prior research on both online dating and speed dating.</p>

This research is a school action research (PTS) which raises about how teachers can use the existing learning administration in the learning process in the classroom with the intention of increasing the quality of learning carried out in the classroom and the evaluation is carried out through the supervision of the principal in the classroom during learning. This school action research activity was carried out at SDN Kedungdoro V/310 for 3 months, starting from July to September 2021 by going through cycle stages. The purpose of this school action research (PTS) is to determine the extent to which the supervision carried out by the principal followed by the provision of guidance/treatment to the target teachers can increase the competence of the low-grade teachers in preparing learning administration. In this school action research (PTS), it was carried out in 2 cycles, from the results of the actions taken it was proven to be able to increase the competence of low grade teachers by achieving ideal standards. In the first cycle, the increase in the competence of low-grade teachers in preparing learning administration reached about 33.33%, in the second cycle it could increase to 100%. The average score obtained after class supervision in the first cycle was 71.33 and increased in the second cycle to 83.33, meaning that there was an increase of 12 and the level of completeness as a group/classical in the first cycle reached 33.33% and in the first cycle it was 33.33%. II increased to 100%. The results of this school action research indicate that the coaching of the principal can improve the competence of low-grade teachers in preparing learning administration.

The Association Between Relationship Events and Experiences and Partner Evaluations: An Ideal Standards Perspective

Drawing on the Ideal Standards Model, the current study investigated whether the relationship events and experiences that occur on a given day in romantic relationships were associated with partner evaluations. Individuals in a current romantic relationship (N = 104) completed daily measures of positive and negative relationship events and experiences and partner evaluations for seven consecutive days. As hypothesized, findings demonstrated that on a given day negative relationship events and experiences were associated with evaluating partners as falling short of mate ideals, while positive relationship events and experiences were associated with evaluating partners as more closely meeting ideals. The findings demonstrate the importance of the relational context in evaluations of a partner against ideal standards.

P103 Research governance audit on quality of documentation of hyperacute ATTEST 2 stroke trial, focusing on the informed consent process

Background The time constraints of hyperacute stroke trials can make documentation challenging. 70% of acutely ill patients lack capacity, thereby requiring proxy consent, and faultless documentation of informed consent in order to avoid ambiguity. This retrospective audit looked at quality of documentation, focusing on informed consent, in the ATTEST 2 trial. The ATTEST 2 trial is a multicentre randomised controlled trial comparing the efficacy of the experimental drug tenecteplase to alteplase (which is used in current practice) for IV thrombolysis to treat acute ischaemic stroke. Methods The consent forms and hospital notes of 13 participants of ATTEST 2 recruited into the trial at the Newcastle Royal Victoria Infirmary hospital from January-August 2018 were inspected. Criteria included documentation of all research visits (day 1, 2 and 5), inclusion and exclusion criteria being met, and presence of a dated, timed and signed consent form. Adherence to 38 criteria in patient records was assessed. Standards were based on GCP guidelines for documentation, especially section 4.8 on informed consent, and on the requirements for data recording set by the ATTEST 2 trial coordinators. This was stratified by date to compare documentation earlier and later on in the trial. Results Most criteria were adequately fulfilled. However, 22% of the criteria had a compliance of less than 60%. These included recording time of consent, the day 5 follow up visit, the attempt to reconsent if patient lacked capacity earlier, the voluntary nature of the trial, the risks and benefits, and that the patient had an opportunity to ask questions. The practices with compliance less than 60% decreased from 26% from January-April 2018 to 21% from May-August 2018. Conclusions The level of documentation varied between patient records, and though most criteria were met, some did not meet ideal standards. This seemed to improve over the course of the ATTEST 2 trial. This audit findings were presented to the team involved. Inconsistency of documentation was discussed and documentation standards were reviewed. A re-audit should be carried out and it should be investigated whether the quality of documentation continued to improve over time.

Ideal standards for policy on student self-harm: What research and practice tells us

School communities face challenges in responding effectively to the rising incidence of student self-harm. Evidence-informed guidelines may provide a platform for schools to provide better responses and improve the outcomes of students who engage in self-harm. This paper critically reviews policies published in English targeted for schools or education settings on effective early identification and intervention for children and adolescent self-harm. A grey literature search was conducted using Start Page web search engine with a documentary analysis approach applied to review polices that met criteria. The review identified 16 policies that aim to help school and education staff to identify and respond to student self-harm. The key themes include identification and risk assessment, intervention, roles and responsibilities, as well as addressing issues surrounding evidence-based psychological education and intervention. An evidence-informed policy that addresses multiple aspects of responding to and reducing student self-harm may be a vital foundation of a school’s response to this growing public health issue. This paper outlines key points that will help inform the development of evidence-informed guidelines for schools to respond to student self-harm and presents an exemplar policy framework for use by schools.

Synergetic approach in the design of architectural systems for harsh climatic conditions

Architecture is characterized by a correction of design approaches that take into account new discoveries. Changing scientific paradigm also influences this process by introducing extra details into the architectural objects workflows. The synergistic paradigm that influences mostly appears in the tendency to create architecture that meets the ideal standards of sustainable design, capable design which is of self-development and self-regulation. A unique feature of the synergistic paradigm that can fundamentally change the approach to design is its relation to the evolutionary process. According to this concept, evolution in its path passes through points of bifuciation – special states of instability – when possible ways of further development are clear and it becomes possible for us to choose and follow one of them. This approach takes into account changing data and corrects decisions during the process. This is especially relevant when designing architectural objects for harsh climate conditions, as additional difficulties may arise in the process of construction and operation, and the unexpectedly arising issues, which may unanticipated arise itself during the usage of the object and can have a disastrous effects on it.

Introduction

What is the relation between political theory and political practice? In what ways can political philosophy help people to address real injustices in the world? John Rawls argues that an important role of political philosophy is to identify the ideal standards of justice at which we should aim in political practice. Other philosophers challenge this approach, arguing that Rawls’s idealizations are not useful as a guide for action or, worse, that they are an impediment to addressing actual injustices in the world. They argue, instead, that political philosophy ought to be focused on theorizing about the elimination of existing injustice. Still others argue that principles of justice should be identified without any constraint concerning the possibility of implementation or regulation in the real world at all....

PENGUASAAN MODEL PENILAIAN HASIL BELAJAR DALAM MERAIH MUTU SEKOLAH OLEH KEPALA SEKOLAH MELALUI SUPERVISI AKADEMIK DI SMPN 41 MEDAN

This study aims at determining the extent of the application of academic supervision in improving the performance of school principals in applying the learning outcomes assessment model at SMPN 41 Medan. Assessment consists of external assessments and internal assessments. External assessments are assessments made by other parties who do not carry out the learning process. External assessments are carried out by an institution, both domestic and foreign, intended among other things to control quality. While internal assessments are assessments planned and carried out by the teacher during the learning process. Class assessment is part of an internal assessment (internal assessment) to determine student learning outcomes towards mastery of competencies taught by the teacher. The aim is to assess the level of achievement of student competencies that are carried out when learning takes place and the end of learning. The assessment of student learning outcomes is carried out by the teacher to monitor the process, progress, development of student learning outcomes in accordance with their potential and expected abilities on an ongoing basis. Assessment can also provide feedback to teachers in order to improve planning and learning processes. In this surveillance action research carried out in 3 cycles, the results of the actions taken are proven to improve the quality of schools by achieving ideal standards. From 64.25% in Cycle 1, it can be increased to 73.75% in Cycle II, and in the third cycle to 83.25% and has met the ideal standard.
