. . van, d. B. (2007). The association between conduct problems and the initiation and progression of marijuana use during adolescence: A genetic analysis across time. Behavior Genetics, 37(2), 314-25. doi:http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s10519-006-9124-1 The researchers raise the question of how largely genetic factors play a role in the influence of marijuana use on the individual. Previous research suggests that there is not just one factor, but individuals are more likely to be environmentally influenced. The researchers challenge these findings and suggest that genetics has just as much influence on the individual. Using a longitudinal research design the authors investigated both genetic and environmental influences on the association between earlier conduct problems and the initiation and progression of marijuana use during adolescence. Bivariate genetic analyses were conducted to establish whether marijuana initiation and progression represented a single liability of risk or alternatively, whether these behaviors were more accurately represented as independent liabilities. These findings mark an important shift away from documenting cross-sectional associations between conduct problems and substance use, from which it is impossible to determine the direction of effects, toward the use

Specifically, the authors looked at the effect that the red to far red light ratio had on branching in Arabidopsis. The authors ultimately found that the effect that phytochromes had on branching varied significantly depending on the environment that the plant was in. Through the observations of the authors, this primary literature will be useful in helping me assess the effects that phytochromes have in the development of branches in

Thesis Statement: Research suggests that attending a smaller school is a better choice than attending a larger school because of more meaningful connections between teachers and students, more parental involvement, increased safety, and higher graduation rates.

Harknett and McLanahan (2004) assess the racial disparities in marriage and family formation among diverse ethnic groups to explain the differences in child rearing practices. Their study utilizes data from the Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing study composed of 3,700 children whose parents were unmarried at the time of their births as well as the 2000 U.S. Census. Initial interviews were conducted with the mothers after child’s birth and follow up surveys took place during their child’s 30 month follow up. The authors found that race, ethnicity, age,

Ph.D. degree acquired authors, Ronald L. Blount, Ronald T. Brown, and Natalie C. Frank, conducted a study focused on predictors of the overall psychological adjustment in children who are battling cancer. They concentrated on anxiety and depression levels and how the child externalizes behavior. There were 83 children who participated in this study of ages ranging from 7 to 18 years. After obtaining parental and child consent, the researchers proceeded to give each

This article is commentary to Justice's (2005) article on the effects of EBP and RTI on reading instruction. Both RTI and EBP can be used to promote effective change in the way services are provided in the school setting. As a response to the original article, Ukrainetz (2006) stated that utilizing RTI and EBP can provide opportunities as well as challenges for SLPs. Using these techniques can make considerable changes in the way children are identified for services as well as refining language intervention.

There are various issues arising from the patriarchal interpretation of Quranic verses that have prompted much debate about the status of women in the Muslim society and the use of Quranic verses by Islamic jurists to determine Shariah law formations. The classical ways of reading and interpreting the Quran and hadith were patriarchal that extensively contribute to developing sexual and gender discrimination within Muslims and are the core source behind this male-dominant Islamic thinking tradition.

The week when working on the annotative bibliography I found it easy to identity the strongest research materials that I had collected over the past 7 weeks and use those resources first. I believe all of us had a few journals and/or books that really provided a wealth of information on our topics, which were the start of our annotative bibliography work.
