BACKGROUND Young men are particularly vulnerable to suicide, drug, and alcohol problems and yet fail to seek appropriate help. An alternative or adjunct to face-to-face services has emerged with widespread uptake of the Internet and related communication technologies, yet very little evidence exists that examines the capacity of the Internet to engage young men and promote help seeking. OBJEC...

in a recent paper, de baets et al. have characterized the fuzzytolerance and fuzzy equivalence relations that a given strict order relation iscompatible with. in this paper, we generalize this characterization by consideringan arbitrary (crisp) relation instead of a strict order relation, while payingattention to the particular cases of a reflexive or irreflexive relation. the reasoninglargely ...

In an attempt to assist proctors to prevent test takers from academic dishonesty in remotely administrated exams, this study investigated the ability of test takers’ behaviors during online assessments to predict their cheating decisions. Specifically, this experimental study focused on the role of students’ time delay and certainty rating during lab based online testing sessions. The analysis ...

In recent work, we proposed a simple functional language S-graph-n to study metaprogramming aspects of self-applicable online program specialization. The primitives of the language provide support for multiple encodings of programs. An important component of online program specialization is the termination strategy. In this paper we show that such a representation has the great advantage of sim...

This study examined college students’ use of online media for political purposes in the 2008 election. Social media attention, online expression, and traditional Internet attention were assessed in relation to political self-efficacy and situational political involvement. Data from a Web survey of college students showed significant positive relationships between attention to traditional Intern...

In this paper, we consider the problem of scheduling distributed biological sequence comparison applications. This problem lies in the divisible load framework with negligible communication costs. Thus far, very few results have been proposed in this model. We discuss and select relevant metrics for this framework: namely max-stretch and sumstretch. We explain the relationship between our model...

The purpose of this study was to explore the influence of the design-quality of current online K-12 learning applications on student learning via three learning-related variables (student enjoyment, motivation, and anxiety level when using those online applications). Nine hundred online K-12 applications (WebQuests, online drills, games, tests, and other applications) were evaluated in terms of...
