Abstract:
Peer pressure is influential in swaying adolescents actions and decisions. To investigate the holistic influence of peer pressure on adolescence, this paper conducts literature reviews on peer pressures influence on adolescents regarding risky behavior, romantic relationships, and academic investment. The results show that peers are capable of bringing up and down adolescents rate of engaging in risky behavior depending on the quality of the friendship. Peers influence adolescent sexual behavior and partner selection, and they have a high level of intervention in their romantic relationships, presenting both positive and negative influences. Peers influence adolescents effort exerted on academic work depending on the type of image that adolescents are trying to maintain and the degree to which an adolescents school value hard work. The paper also traces the biological and sociocultural causes of peer pressures huge influence on adolescents and provides recommendations for alleviating negative peer pressure.

Abstract:
This article outlines various inside and outside influences that organizational leadership has to deal with during decision making. Governmental regulatory agencies have the vested authority to impose sanctions upon non-compliant companies. The dictates of regulatory agencies often create legalistic mazes and bureaucratic rituals that bear little relation to a framework conducive to rational decision making. Deviation from legally codified procedures can subject an organization to a situation where its legitimacy is threatened. Socially conscious groups, from NOW to PETA, have also gained significant constituencies, as well as credibility, for their causes within society as a whole. Many such organizations use more formal methods to give various populations of workers protected legal status. The number of stakeholders relevant to an organization has also increased sharply during the past 50 years. To complicate matters further, different stakeholders are likely to have competing interests. There are cases where organizational leadership proposes actions that are reasonable and necessary for the continuation of the organization, but are resisted very strongly, even by constituencies that might benefit, either immediately or eventually, from their implementation.

Abstract:

A favourable school atmosphere, in which adolescents behave positively, is one of the greatest concerns for teachers, administrators and parents. Although there are several different pressures leading to adolescent misbehaviour at school, the most contributing factors are peer pressure and the socio-economic status of the school. As adolescents enter the school, the peer group then functions as an important socializing agent for them. As peers socialize within their different school environments, individuals are forced to conform to the practices and opinions of the group. Usually this conformity is unconstructive and clashes with the parents&rsquo
and teachers&rsquo
expectations. The aim of this study was to examine the influence of peer pressure on adolescent misbehaviour in advantaged and disadvantaged 
schools. A quantitative methodological approach was used to conduct the study. The study was conducted with adolescents aged from 
13 to 17 years in both advantaged and disadvantaged secondary (high) schools in Windhoek, Namibia. A sample of 300 participants was randomly stratified across the schools. The Exposure to Peer Pressure Control Scale (Allen &
Yen, 2002) and Child Behaviour Checklist 
questionnaires (Achenbach &
Edelbrock, 1987) were used to collect the data. Ethical considerations were carefully considered before and during the research procedure of data collection. The reliability of the instruments was checked by means of a pilot study. The data was analysed by means of the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 18 to reveal descriptive and inferential statistics. Results showed a significant positive relationship between peer pressure and adolescent misbehaviour in schools. In addition, misbehaviour was also positively predicted in both advantaged and disadvantaged schools, with disadvantaged schools being significantly more influential. When comparing peer pressure and adolescent misbehaviours in both advantaged and disadvantaged schools, adolescents in 
is advantaged schools engaged significantly more in misbehaviour activities and also responded positively more to peer pressure than their counterparts in advantaged schools. Implications for further research were suggested.

Abstract:
Passwords are the main means of authenticating users in most systems today. However, they have been identified as a weak link to the overall security of many systems and much research has been done in order to enhance their security and usability. Although, many schemes have been proposed, users still find it challenging to keep up with password best practices. Our current work is based on recent research indicating that social navigation can be used to guide users to safer, more secure practices regarding computer security and privacy. Our goal is the evaluation of a novel concept for a proactive password checking mechanism that analyzes and presents to users, information about their peer's password strength. Our proposed proactive password feedback mechanism is an effort to guide users in creating better passwords by relating their password strength to that of other system users. We hypothesized that this would enable users to have a better understanding of their password's strength in regards to the system at hand and its users' expectations in terms of account security. We evaluated our mechanism with two between-subjects laboratory studies, embedding our proactive password checking scheme in the Campus Wide Login (CWL) mechanism for changing an account's password. In our study, we compared the password entropy of participants assigned to our proposed mechanism to this of participants assigned to the current CWL implementation (no feedback) as well as to the traditional horizontal bar, employed by many web sites, which provides feedback in the form of absolute password strength characterization. Our results revealed significant effect on improving password strength between our motivator and the control condition as well as between the group using the existing motivator and the control group. Although, we found a difference between the no feedback condition and the two feedback conditions, we did not find any difference between feedback conditions (i.e., relative vs. absolute strength assessment). However, our results show that relating password strength to that of one's peers, while maintaining the standard visual cues, may yield certain advantages over lack of feedback or current practices.

Abstract:
“Peer pressure” is associated in the scientific literature with a range of risky sexual behaviors and with undermining public sexual health messages. Interventions are instituted encouraging young people to resist peer pressure or to model positive peer norms. Taking a discursive psychology perspective, we show how young people themselves use the discourses of “peer pressure to have sex” and “peer normalization of sex” to explain and justify youth sexual activity. Using data from focus group discussions about youth sexualities with students at a South African further education and training college, we show how participants outlined a need for young people to be socially recognizable through engaging in, and talking about, sex and how they implicated peer norms in governing individual sexual behavior. Both discourses pointed to a gendering of peer-endorsed sexual norms: masculine virility, the avoidance of shameful virgin or gay positions, and multiple sexual partners were emphasized for men, while the necessity of keeping a boyfriend and avoiding a “slut” position were foregrounded for women. These discourses potentially undermine the aims of public sexual health programs targeting youth. Nuanced engagement with peer group narratives, especially how sexual activity is explained and justified in a gendered fashion, is indicated.

Existing models of information diffusion assume that peer influence is the main reason of the observed propagation patterns. This work examines the role of authority pressure on the observed information cascades. We model this intuition by characterizing some nodes in the network as "authority" nodes. These are nodes that can influence large number of peers, while themselves cannot be influenced by peers. We propose a model that associates with every item two parameters that quantify the impact of peer and the authority pressure on the item's propagation. Given a network and the observed diffusion patterns of the item, we learn these parameters from the data and characterize the item as peer- or authority-propagated. We also develop a randomization test that evaluates the statistical significance of our findings and makes our item characterization robust to noise. Our experiments with real data from online media and scientific-collaboration networks indicate that there is a strong signal of authority pressure in these networks.

Abstract:
Synchronisation is an important process for different kinds of systems, such as biological, chemical, physical and social. Among the related synchronisation problems, consensus has received high attention because of the distributed properties shown by its models and the possibility they offer for controlling complex systems. When dealing with consensus processes in social networks, we known from empirical evidence that the formation of opinions is not free from being influenced by people around every actor, and more, it is well known that some of the actors may play a leading role and guide a social system to a final state different from the pure average consensus. A main paradigm while modelling interactions among actors in social networks is that every actor receives and transmits information from and to her nearest neighbours, thus implicitly assuming that the decisions of a given actor only are influenced by their directly connected peers, and not tking into account indirect influences coming from not directly connnected peers in the same social network, for example, the influence coming from the friend's friend of a friend. Our work studies consensus processes in the presence of influence coming from not only those directly connected actors, but from other ones in the same network. We call this influence peer pressure (PP). We propose a consensus model that takes into account direct and indirect PP modelled as a function of the social distance among actors. We apply this consensus model to different real social networks assuming three different decay laws for the strength of PP, and in the presence of leaders and without them. We choose those nodes acting as leaders according to different centrality criteria, as well as randomly, and compare thier performance for driving the system. Since it is natural that different leaders may diverge in their positions, we introduce a divergence parameter among the initial states of the leaders with respect to the avreage consensus of the system, to take the feature into account in our model. We then analyse the effects of PP on two different real cases of diffusion of innovation processes. We show that as the strength of indirect PP increases, the centrality criteria used to select the leaders has a decaying effect on the effectiveness of such leaders to better drive a consensus process, allowing random leaders to be as good as those with better centrality. Our work also shows that, despite divergence among leaders induces higher times for reaching consensus, this effect is reduced for stronger levels of PP present in the system. For the case of diffusion innovations our model reproduces the behaviour of the empirical data, and we demonstrate that certainlevels of PP are necessary to match the results coming from two different studies, supporting our hypothesis that indirect PP is an important factor to be taken into account when modelling opinion formations in social networks. Leaders emerging by global centrality criteria in networks with tightly connected groups can be counterproductive. This can be tackled by selecting node-leaders in a local basis. This effect is also reduced when indirect PP is allowed to be higher. This finding points to the fact that distance among nodes is an important characteristic for consenus processes. For the purpose of studying this structural feature, we propose a distance-sum heterogeneity index based on a fictional consensus process. We conjecture that an special type of graph, that we call complete split graph, is related with the maximization of the index, and based on this conjecture we study the relative distance-sum heterogeneity of random graphs and different real-world networks, which allows us to characterise them. We propose a spectral representation of the distance-sum heterogeneity index for networks that we call S-plots. We also study the relation between the time for consensus and the distance-sum heterogeneities in complex networks from different nature.

This safe pressure can result in fewer excavations needed in response to ILI-identified areas of metal loss. Benefits/Learning Outcomes: - Review of the Psqr Model and how it was formulated and validated - An understanding of how the increased accuracy of the Psqr model can lead to fewer excavations - Peer reviewed suggestions for implementing the Psqr Model Target audience: - Pipeline corrosion personnel - Pipeline integrity management personnel Recommended reading: PR-218-183607-Z01 Peer Review of the Plausible Profile (Psqr) Corrosion Assessment Model

Abstract:
Purpose/Background Direct laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation after induction of anesthesia can cause a reflex sympathetic surge of catecholamines caused by airway stimulation. This may cause hypertension, tachycardia, and arrhythmias. This reflex can be detrimental in patients with poor cardiac reserve and can be poorly tolerated and lead to adverse events such as myocardial ischemia. Fentanyl, a potent opioid, with a rapid onset and short duration of action is given during induction to block the sympathetic response. With a rise in the opioid crisis and finding ways to change the practice in medicine to use less opioids, dexmedetomidine, an alpha 2 adrenergic agonist, can decrease the release of norepinephrine, has analgesic properties, and can lower the heart rate. Methods In this scoping review, studies published between 2009 and 2021 that compared fentanyl and dexmedetomidine during general anesthesia induction and endotracheal intubation of surgical patients over the age of 18 were included. Full text, peer-reviewed studies in English were included with no limit on country of study. The outcomes included post-operative reviews of decrease in pain medication usage and hemodynamic stability. Studies that were included focused on hemodynamic variables such as systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, mean arterial pressure, heart rate, and use of opioids post-surgery. Result Of 2,114 results from our search, 10 articles were selected based on multiple eligibility criteria of age greater than 18, patients undergoing endotracheal intubation after induction of general anesthesia, and required either a dose of dexmedetomidine or fentanyl to be given prior to intubation. Dexmedetomidine was shown to effectively attenuate the sympathetic surge during intubation over fentanyl. Dexmedetomidine showed a greater reduction in heart rate, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, mean arterial pressure than fentanyl, causing better hemodynamic stability in patients undergoing elective surgery.Implications for Nursing Practice Findings during this scoping review indicate that dexmedetomidine is a safe and effective alternative to fentanyl during induction of general anesthesia and endotracheal intubation in attenuating the hemodynamic response. It is also a safe choice for opioid-free anesthesia.

Full text
Abstract:
FAST Pipe is a new pipeline technology that was developed by ConocoPhillips Company (ConocoPhillips). It has been proposed as an alternative to high strength steel (grade X80 or higher) for high pressure gas transmission pipelines. FAST Pipe is manufactured by tightly wrapping multiple layers of dry fibreglass (or other fibres like carbon fibre) circumferentially around a conventional steel pipe and then covering the fibreglass with a thermoplastic jacket, such as a high density polyethylene (HDPE) coating. By utilizing the steel pipe to carry axial and bending loads and the fibreglass to augment the pressure carrying capacity of the steel pipe, FAST Pipe offers performance and cost advantages. ConocoPhillips has made a substantial effort to experimentally and analytically assess the feasibility and performance of FAST Pipe. PRCI has set up an industry Steering Committee (SC) to provide input and enable peer review to address the technical challenges as well as research and development objectives for obtaining regulatory approval for this new technology. The objective of this project was to assist PRCI's SC to achieve the goals of assessing technology readiness, identifying requirements for obtaining regulatory approval, and developing short and long term plans to meet these requirements.

Abstract:
Agribusiness incubators play an important role in developing the technology and value chains that let small agricultural businesses thrive in developing countries and emerging markets. Incubators are, therefore, a key contributor to these economies, boosting prosperity and reducing poverty, and there is increased interest in supporting interventions aimed at accelerating or incubating agribusinesses. The topic is especially important now, as public funding is likely to come under pressure in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, scant evidence has been collected on the effectiveness of such interventions at generating additional investments in the sector. This paper remedies this lack. The objectives of this paper are to: (i) identify examples of incubators of small and mediumsized enterprises (SMEs) that have successfully catalysed investment into the agricultural sector over the last 10 years; (ii) identify and analyse types of agribusiness incubators; (iii) provide evidence on the results and impact of the different incubation models and, where applicable and information is available, on gendered impacts; and (iv) draw conclusions on whether interventions aimed at accelerating and incubating SME agribusinesses are effective in supporting increased investment in the sector. There is a dearth of comparative data and peer-reviewed literature around these questions. The Commercial Agriculture for Smallholders and Agribusiness programme (CASA) has therefore collected evidence via primary research (websites, annual reports and phone calls with key experts and incubator managers), as well as secondary research where appropriate.

Taylor. L51724 Fiber Optic Pressure Sensor Development. Chantilly, Virginia: Pipeline Research Council International, Inc. (PRCI), January 1995. http://dx.doi.org/10.55274/r0010368.

Full text
Abstract:
Fiber optic sensors have been under development in industrial and government laboratories around the world for over a decade The commercial market for fiber sensors for measuring parameters such as temperature, displacement, and liquid level is now estimated to exceed $50 M/year Aside from the commercial interest, the U S. Department of Defense has vigorously pursued the development of fiber gyroscopes and hydrophones In spite of the high level of research and devleopment activity, however, fiber sensors were not successfully applied in the relatively harsh environment of engine combustion chambers prior to 1991. The goal of this development is to demonstrate the utilization of a new fiber optic sensor technology in engines used for natural gas transmission. Presently, there is no way to continuously measure pressure in these engines over extended periods of operation. Reliable fiber optic sensor networks supplying data to computerized control systems for on-line engine balancing could lead to major reductions in the emission of NO, and other harmful combustion products. Fuel economies in the millions of dollars per year for companies in the natural gas transmission industry could also be realized.
