ABSTRACT Introduction: Online game addiction is an uncontrollable dependence on online gaming. The social skills of adolescents with online game addiction tend to be difficult to develop and will hinder social development. The purpose of this research is to determine the association between online game addition and social skills among students in Tunas Bangsa Junior High School Greenville. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study of students in Tunas Bangsa Junior High School Greenville. Social skills was measured with Matson Evaluation of Social Skills with Youngsters and online game addiction was measured with Indonesian Online Game Addiction Questionnaire. Data analysis was performed by using chi-square test. Results: There were 73 respondents in this study, most were 14 years old, female, and 9th graders. There are 82.2% of respondents with normal social skills and 60.3% of respondents with online game addiction. There are 56.2% of respondents playing online games ≥4 days/week, 65.8% of respondents playing ≤ 4 hours/day on weekdays, 57.5% of respondents playing ≤ 4 hours/day on weekends, and 27.4% respondents play shooting games. Chi-square analysis shows that there is a significant relationship between gender (p=0.048), frequency of playing online games (p=0.011), duration of playing online games on weekends (p=0.037), and types of online games(p=0.036) with online game addiction. Conclusion: There is no significant relationship between online game addiction and social skills among students in Tunas Bangsa Junior High School Greenville. Key Words: Addiction, Online Game, Social Skills, Adolescent.

This study jointly estimates the impact of school quality and school proximity on residential property values in Greenville, South Carolina. While quality is found to be capitalized into residential property values, the degree of capitalization depends on school level and proximity to each school for which the house is zoned for attendance. In general, there is positive value associated with closer proximity to schools of all levels, and negative value associated with a significantly longer than average distance to schools. In terms of quality rankings, excellence at the elementary and high school levels has the strongest impact on property values.

Context: Participation in high school sports has grown 16.1% over the last decade, but few studies have compared the overall injury risks in girls' softball and boys' baseball. Objective: To examine the incidence of injury in high school softball and baseball players. Design: Cohort study. Setting: Greenville, South Carolina, high schools. Patients or Other Participants: Softball and baseball players (n = 247) from 11 high schools. Main Outcome Measure(s): Injury rates, locations, types; initial or subsequent injury; practice or game setting; positions played; seasonal trends. Results: The overall incidence injury rate was 4.5/1000 athlete-exposures (AEs), with more injuries overall in softball players (5.6/1000 AEs) than in baseball players (4.0/1000 AEs). Baseball players had a higher initial injury rate (75.9/1000 AEs) than softball players (66.4/1000 AEs): rate ratio (RR) = 0.88, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.4, 1.7. The initial injury rate was higher than the subsequent injury rate for the overall sample (P < .0001) and for softball (P < .0001) and baseball (P < .001) players. For both sports, the injury rate during games (4.6/1000 AEs) was similar to that during practices (4.1/1000 AEs), RR = 1.22, 95% CI = 0.7, 2.2. Softball players were more likely to be injured in a game than were baseball players (RR = 1.92, 95% CI = 0.8, 4.3). Most injuries (77%) were mild (3.5/1000 AEs). The upper extremity accounted for the highest proportion of injuries (63.3%). The incidence of injury for pitchers was 37.3% and for position players was 15.3%. The rate of injury was highest during the first month of the season (7.96/1000 AEs). Conclusions: The incidence of injury was low for both softball and baseball. Most injuries were minor and affected the upper extremity. The injury rates were highest in the first month of the season, so prevention strategies should be focused on minimizing injuries and monitoring players early in the season.

Purpose: To examine associations between socioeconomic status and two forms of social capital, namely, neighborhood and network measures, and how these distinct forms of capital are associated with body mass index (BMI) among Black residents of low-income communities. Design: Respondent-driven sampling was used to engage residents in a household survey to collect data on the respondents’ personal network, perceptions about their neighborhood environment, and health. Setting: Eight special emphasis neighborhoods in Greenville, South Carolina. Participants: N = 337 black/African American older adults, nearly half of whom have a household income of less than $15 000 and a high school education, were included. Measures: Neighborhood capital was assessed via three scales on social cohesion, collective efficacy, and social support from neighbors. Network capital was calculated via a position generator, common in egocentric network surveys. Body mass index was calculated with self-reported height and weight. Analysis: Multilevel linear regression models were used to examine the association between neighborhood and network capital and obesity among respondents within sampling chains. Results: Higher household income was associated with greater neighborhood capital, whereas higher educational attainment was associated with greater network capital. Social cohesion was negatively associated with BMI ( b = −1.25, 95% confidence interval [CI]: −2.39 to −0.11); network diversity was positively associated with BMI ( b = 0.31, 95% CI: 0.08 to 0.55). Conclusion: The findings shed light on how social capital may be patterned by socioeconomic status and, further, how distinct forms of capital may be differentially associated with health among black Americans.

Abstract The Marina District of San Francisco, California, with its artificial fill and a thick section of sand and clay covering a northwest-trending valley in the bedrock, suffered extensive damage during the 18 October 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake. Following the earthquake, the USGS drilled a hole at Winfield Scott School at Beach and Divisadero Streets; the borehole intersects bedrock surface at a 79.5-m depth. Two three-component seismometers, one in bedrock at a 88-m depth and one located at the surface, have been installed at the site; each seismometer consists of one vertical and two orthogonally oriented horizontal geophones having a natural period of 0.5 sec. Between August 1990 and January 1991, more than 50 earthquakes have been recorded digitally. Eight among these, ranging in magnitude between 2.8 and 3.6 and originating on the Calaveras, Franklin, Greenville, and Hayward faults and on faults parallel and close to the San Andreas fault, generated seismograms with high signal-to-noise ratio. Horizontal ground-motion amplification, expressed as spectral ratio between ground motions at the surface and those in the bedrock, has been calculated for motions in two orthogonal directions (along Divisadero and Beach Street); each ground-motion spectrum has been calculated using an entire seismogram consisting of body waves, surface waves, multiply reflected and scattered coda waves, and a short section (∼ 2 sec) of pre-event ambient noise. Before calculating spectral ratio, each spectrum has been smoothed using a truncated Gaussian window 0.61-Hz wide. Except for the lowest-frequency spectral-ratio peak at ∼ 1 Hz, frequency of other peaks depends on earthquake location. Amplitude of spectral-ratio peaks also show variation depending on ground-motion direction and earthquake location. For example, amplitude of the 1-Hz spectral-ratio peak varies from 7.2 to 12.7. The surface-downhole spectral ratio therefore provides only partial information on how ground motions are amplified by sediment deposits. If we choose to use this ratio for earthquake engineering applications, the ratios from the eight earthquakes give an indication of the variation in spectral ratio to be expected from earthquakes with similar magnitudes and epicentral distances on various Bay area faults. Also noteworthy are the observations that the two horizontal-component seismograms recorded by each seismometer have similar coda amplitude and duration regardless of earthquake location and that particle-motion polarization becomes complex shortly after the P-wave and S-wave onset. The complex particle-motion polarization indicates that wave fields in the bedrock and at the surface are three-dimensional; the bedrock topography underlying the site has been delineated previously to be three-dimensional from drill-hole information. We suggest from these observations that three-dimensional effects need to be considered when modeling site amplification in the Marina District. Finally, the eight earthquakes are divided into two groups, comprising those whose epicenters are located east of San Francisco Bay and those whose epicenters are located south of San Francisco Bay. Within each group, spectral-ratio peaks from different earthquakes line up with each other, thus showing consistency in spectral-ratio peaks as a function of earthquake location.

AbstractAnxiety levels in medical students have been reported as higher than the aged-matched general population, yet medical students are less likely to seek care for mental health issues. Medical students carry high levels of self-stigma about their own mental health and fear the negative consequences of seeking care. The purpose of this study was to examine the student population at the University of South Carolina School of Medicine Greenville (UofSC SOMG) for anxiety levels and determine the self-stigma attitudes this population carries. UofSC SOMG students were surveyed using the GAD7, questions about mental health stigma, and open-ended questions on barriers to mental health care in medical students. Anxiety levels were compared to student responses. 31% of students reported moderate-severe anxiety levels. Stigma was the most frequently listed barrier to care, however, students with moderate-severe anxiety were more likely to report cost as a barrier to care than students with minimal anxiety levels. Despite free and accessible mental health care, medical students at UofSC SOMG still have anxiety at rates higher than the general population. Future work should help to provide interventions to the barriers of care, so medical students can better utilize mental health care resources.

He started working on a Haitian Creole dictionary along with several other experts in the field of Haitian Creole and linguistics and published his first Creole title “Aprann Pale Kreyòl” (Learn to Speak Creole) in 2005. This was followed with a collection of short stories in Creole and English which were the result of a creative writing contest. He solicited Haitian speakers to submit their stories and poems which he, along with others, translated into English and published as “Kreyòl Woyloyloy”(Creole Wow! O Wow!).

Dorothy Allison was born in Greenville, South Carolina, grew up in a working-class family, and was the first in her family to graduate from high school. At Florida Presbyterian College, she became involved in the women’s movement and credits this political activism with her urge to become a writer. During the 1970s and early 1980s in New York City, where she had moved for graduate study in anthropology, Allison wrote for and edited feminist and gay and lesbian publications....

Abstract James Davis, founding member of the Dixie Hummingbirds, came of age in 1920s segregated Greenville, South Carolina. The African American community nonetheless thrived there with its own institutions, businesses, schools, churches, and entertainment. Blacks and whites lived in proximity but interacted rarely and out of necessity. Davis was close to his mother, Jannie, a devoutly religious homemaker. His father, John, was constantly on the move, hustling a living as best he could. His father taught him to sing using shape notes, where the shape of a note, not its position on a staff, indicated pitch. Davis attended the all-black Sterling High School, where he and friend Barney Parks with encouragement and training from teachers organized an acapella quartet to sing at high school programs and local churches. In 1928, the group traveled to Atlanta, where at the annual Church of God in Christ Convention they performed for the first time for an audience outside their own community. Billed as the Sterling High School Quartet, they were applauded and as a self-perceived sensation set out in a borrowed car to seek their fortune as professional gospel quartet singers.
