Whyis it prevalent?Methods used questionnaires and interviews among biostatisticiansT A S K 21Because they routinely work closely w ith physicians and scientists in many branches o f medical research and have unique insight into data. In addition, they have the methodological competence to detect fraud and could be expected to have a special professional interest in the validity o f results. Biostatisticians therefore could provide unique and reliable information on the characteristics o f fraud in medical research.2To ensure the validity and reliability o f the data.3 Career and power instead o f financial reward.4 Most responders have expertise and opportunity to contact data.

Therefore not many people are fam iliar w ith its characteristics, frequency and impact on medical research.2 Biostatisticians cooperate frequently w ith physicians and scientists in many branches o f medicalresearch and have a unique opportunity to understand data. Furthermore, they have expertise todiscover fraud and interest in checking the validity o f results.3 As biostatisticians can access inside information and confidential data, they have a betterunderstanding o f the implications o f data. Hence they know the detailed process before the result is published.T A S K 6Science fraud or scientific misconduct is detrimental to scientific progress in many ways.T A S K 7The paper is to conduct a survey o f biostatisticians, who were members o f the International Society fo r C linical Biostatistics. The objective is to assess the characteristics o f fraud in medical research. [the objective] The survey was performed between A p ril and July 1998. The participation rate was only 37%. We report the results because a m ajority (51%) o f the participants knew about fraudulent projects, and many did not know whether the organization they w ork fo r has a form al system fo r handling suspected fraud or not. D ifferent forms o f fraud (e.g., fabrication and falsification o f data, deceptive reporting o f results, suppression o f data, and deceptive design or analysis) had been observed in fa irly sim ilar numbers. [the methods used] We conclude that fraud is not a negligible phenomenon in medical research, and that increased awareness o f the forms in which it is expressed seems appropriate.

[explain the unexpected result]2 The pattern that emerged between participants,self-reports o f cheating behaviors and theirdishonesty ratings revealed that participants were w illin g to say that behaviors in which they had not engaged were “extremely wrong,” but behaviors in which they had engaged were rated as “not wrong” or “somewhat wrong.” It could be that the participants were trying to ju stify their behaviors by saying that they only engaged in the more acceptable types o f cheating and never took part in anything that was really dishonest. [explain the result]3Participants who cheated on the puzzle task also had higher self-efficacy scores, which means that they feel like they have more control over their success. Perhaps participants who have higher levels o f self-efficacy are more confident that they w ill succeed. The puzzle task in this experiment, however, was designed so that the participants could not successfully solve all o f the puzzles without cheating. Refusing to fa il such a simple task, they decided cheating was an acceptable tactic fo r success. [explain the result]4 This study contained only 34 participants, hence it is important to note that all o f these findingsshould be approached w ith caution. Further investigation is necessary in order to strengthen the significance o f the findings. However, the findings o f this study could be the first steps to uncovering the motivations behind academic dishonesty. A suggestion fo r future research is closer examination o f the differences in academic motivations o f people who cheat and those who do not. [lim itations and future research]H ealth-related Q u a lity o f L ife and H ealth R isk Behaviors Am ong SmokersDiscussion1This is the first national population-based study o f U.S. adults examining associations among smoking status, HRQOL (Health-related Quality o f Life), and health risk behaviors. The relationship between smoking and impaired physical health is corroborated by the results o f this study. Specifically, compared to persons who never smoked, current smokers are more likely to report fairly poor general health, frequent physical distress, frequent activity lim itations, and frequent pain. [M ajor findings] W hile previous research suggests that people w ith poor mental health are more likely to smoke than those without, few previous studies have examined whether those who smoke are more likely than those who do not to report poor mental health. Additionally, previous research in this area has yielded inconsistent results. In particular, while some prior studies reported mental health impairments among smokers, others found associations in women but not men or found no association. These results suggest that there is a significant association between smoking and impaired mental health among both men and women residing in thecommunity. Specifically, those who currently smoked were significantly more likely than those who formerly smoked or never smoked to report frequent mental distress, frequent depressive symptoms, frequent anxiety symptoms, and infrequent vitality. [Comparison w ith previous studies]2 Respondents who currently smoked were more likely than former smokers or never smokers to beheavy or binge drinkers, but were less likely to be obese. It is w ell known that smoking is frequently associated w ith alcohol consumption, and that smoking cessation is often associated w ith weight gain. Research suggests that fears about weight gain may motivate the initiation or continuation o f smoking, especially among women. However, cognitive behavioral therapy techniques have been demonstrated to improve smoking cessation rates among smokers concerned w ith gaining weight.3Most notably, these results reveal that in addition to being associated w ith increased alcohol consumption and affective disturbance, smoking among community dwellers is also associated w ith physical inactivity, sleep impairment, and inadequate consumption o f fru it and vegetables.Thus, smoking appears to be associated w ith a constellation o f health behaviors, potentially further compounding its adverse effects. As physical inactivity, inadequate sleep, and low consumption o f fru it and vegetables have each been associated w ith increased morbidity and mortality, the presence o f smoking should alert physicians to the possible coexistence o f other adverse health behaviors that may compound its deleterious consequences. In short, smoking may represent the “tip o f the iceberg” o f a number o f modifiable risk factors meriting intervention. [Explanation of the result]4 This study has several limitations. First, it is d ifficu lt to estimate the association between HRQOLand smoking without assessing physical and psychiatric comorbidities (并发症).Because the survey did not assess medical comorbidities, adjustments could not be made for these factors.Second, because the study was cross-sectional, causality cannot be inferred. Nonetheless, these findings demonstrate a strong association between smoking and HRQOL, suggesting that clinicians should be alert to the potential presence o f psychiatric comorbidities among their patients who smoke as w ell as to the presence o f smoking among patients w ith psychiatric disorders. Third, these analyses are based on self-reported data, and therefore these results could be influenced by reporting biases. However, the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) data on cigarette smoking measures have moderate to high validity and high reliability, and self-reports o f smoking have been found to be valid in other population based surveys.Fourth, because the analysis was based on data from 23 states and the D istrict o f Columbia, the results may, conceivably, not be representative o f the entire United States. Finally, while psychiatric symptoms were assessed, there was no assurance that these symptoms necessarily met diagnostic criteria fo r affective or anxiety disorders.5 These results indicate that in addition to implementing smoking cessation efforts among patientswho smoke, physicians should view smoking as a marker o f a potential array o f health risk behaviors. The results o f this investigation also suggest that physical activity, sleep, and dietary characteristics may be important areas fo r physician assessment and, potentially, intervention among patients who smoke. [Implication]T A S K 51-5 D C B A E FW r itin g an a b s tra c tT A S K 2A cadem ic D ishonesty A m ong C ollege StudentsA bstractThe present study investigated the effects o f academic m otivation, academic integrity, attitude toward cheating, and self-efficacy on cheating behaviors o f college students. [the objective] Participants completed a puzzle-solving task in which some puzzles were not solvable unless a participant cheated. One group was offered a 20 dollar reward fo r the highest score, the second group’s scores were made public, and the third group served as the control. [methods employed] There was not a significant difference in the cheating behaviors o f the three groups. A significant negative correlation was found between participants’ self-reports o f cheating behaviors and how dishonest they rated those behaviors. Participants who cheated on the puzzle task had significantly higher self-efficacy scores than those who did not cheat. Im plications fo r these findings are discussed. [m ajor findings]Laypeople’s U n derstand ing o f R a d io a c tiv ity and R a d ia tio nA bstractIt may be argued that the population should have sufficient understanding o f radiation phenomena to secure individual safety as w ell as democratic decisions. To attain this, it is necessary fo r the communicators o f radiation inform ation to be fam iliar w ith the lay person’s perceptions o f these phenomena. [the objective]A questionnaire survey was conducted to examine non-experts’ conceptions o f radiation phenomena. [the method] The survey revealed incomplete understanding o f concepts such as radioactive decay, h a lf-life and absorption o f radiation and a lack o f differentiation o f between radiation and radioactive material. Many respondents did not distinguish between sources o f ionizing radiation and other environmental hazards. Nuclear power plants and submarines were the most feared sources o f radiation. There are indications that the lay understanding o f radiation phenomena and risk is to a large extent formed by mass media and that “school knowledge” o f these phenomena is not applied in situations belonging to the “real w orld”[m ajor findings] To resolve this problem, new teaching and inform ation procedures are needed. These should take into account the learners’ perceptions and should integrate ‘school knowledge’ w ith considerations belonging to the “real w orld”.[the suggestion]U sing In te ra c tiv e Technology to S u p p o rt S tudents’ U nderstand ing o fthe G reenhouse E ffe ct and G lo b a l W a rm in gAbstractIn this work, we examine middle school students’ understanding o f the greenhouse effect and global warming, [the objective]We designed and refined a technology-enhanced curriculum module called G lobal Warming: V irtu al Earth.In the module activities, students conduct virtual experiments w ith a visualization o f the greenhouse effect. They analyze data and draw conclusions about how individual variables effect changes in the Earth’s temperature. They also carry out inquiry activities to make connections between scientific processes, the socio-scientific issues, and ideas presented in the media.[the method]Results show that participating in the unit increases students,understanding o f the science. We discuss how students integrate their ideas about global climate change as a result o f using virtual experiments that allow them to explore meaningful complexities o f the climate system. [major findings]In flu e n ce o f G e netically M o d ifie d Soya on the B irth W e ig h t and S u rviva l o f R at PubsA bstractInvestigation o f the influence o f GM soya on the birthrate and survival o f the offspring o f W istar rats were performed in this paper. [the objective] A group o f female rats were fed GM soya flo u r before mating and pregnancy. The control group o f females were fed traditional soya and the third group o f females, the positive control group, received feed w ithout any soya. The weight and the m ortality rate o f the newborn pups were analyzed. [the methods employed]The study showed that there was a very high rate o f pup m ortality (55.6%) in the GM soya group in comparison w ith the control group and the positive control group (9% and 6.8% respectively). Moreover, death in the firs t group continued during lactation, and the weights o f the survivors are low er those from the other two groups. [findings] It was revealed in these experiments, that GM soya could have a negative influence on the offsprings o f W istar rats. [the conclusion]The Im p a ct o f U rb a n iza tio n and Socioeconom ic Status onIn fa n t-fe e d in g P ractices in Lagos, N ig e riaA bstractBreast-feeding, a traditional infant-feeding practice in Nigeria, has undergone a serious decline recently. [the background] In order to explore the factors responsible fo r the negative change and offer some suggestions based on the result, a survey was conducted among N igerian women resident in Surulere [the objective].The feeding practice and attitudes o f 558 mothers were examined via questionnaires and personal interview. [the methods employed]The result showed that despite the women’s awareness o f the importance o f breast-feeding practice which should continue fo r up to one year (38 %) according to their expressed opinion, only about 24.6 % o f the mothers practiced breast-feeding fo r that long and 81 % used supplementary foods fo r infants from birth to three months. It is suggested that economic and social pressures were responsible fo r the change in traditional infant feeding practices. [findings]Hence unless the poverty o f urban women was solved any nutrition education program was meaningless.

W hile scientific study in Antarctica was once the main purpose fo r humanpresence there, science seems to have given way to tourism. In fact, from1990, the number o f tourists began to increase to a point where their numbers now exceed the number o f scientists (Shaik, 2010). In itia lly, this was welcomed by research staff whose projects saw a potential finding boost through an increase in visitors, and scientists who stay in Antarctica all year round welcomed the idea o f more human contact (Larson, 2012). However, it quickly became apparent that the large number o f tourists was beginning to have negative impacts on the scientists. According to American U niversity, which funds research in the Antarctica, independent tour companies are often unaware o f research schedules and bring hundreds o f tourists to scientific sites requesting explanations and tours (G rall, 1992). In addition, scientists staff sometimes have to stop their w ork to aid tourists who have either ignored the risks or underestimated the extreme conditions o f Antarctica.ReferencesG rall, J. (1992).

Like microprocessors, we human beings carft actually concentrate on two thoughts at the same exact time. Multitasking is just an illusion both in computersand human beings.Differences:·The concept of multitasking originated in computer science.·At best, human beings can juggle only a handful of thoughts in a multitasking manner, but computers can do much better.·The more thoughts human beings juggle, the less human beings are able to attune fully to any given thought, but computers can do much better.6、·7 medical issues to consider·5 separate thoughts, at least, for each issue·7 x 5 = 35 thoughts·10 patients that afternoon·35 x 10 = 350 thoughts·5 residents under the authors supervision·4 patients seen by each resident·10 thoughts, at least, generated from each patient·5 x 4 x 10 = anther 200 thoughts·350 + 200 = 550 thoughts to be handled in total·If the doctor does a good job juggling 98% of the time, that still leaves about 10 thoughts that might get lost in the process.7、Possible solutions:·Computer-generated reminders·Case managers·Ancillary services·The simplest solution: timeUnit21、The author implies:? Peoples inadequate consciousness about the consequence of neglecting the re-emerging infectious diseases·Unjustifiability of peoples complacency about the prevention and control of theinfectious diseases·Unfinished war against infectious diseases2、Victory declarations:·Surgeon General William Stewart's hyperbolic statement of closing “the book on infectious disease”.·A string of impressive victories incurred by antibiotics and vaccines·The thought that the war against infectious diseases was almost overWhat followed ever since:·Appearance of new diseases such as AIDS and Ebola·Comeback of the old afflictions:? Diphtheria in the former Soviet Union? TB in urban centers like New York City? Rising Group A streptococcal conditions like scarlet fever·The fear of a powerful new flu strain sweeping the world3、Elaborate on the joined battle:·WHO established a new division devoted to worldwide surveillance and controlof emerging disease in October 1995.·CDC launched a prevention strategy in 1994.·Congress raised fund from $6.7 million in 1995 to $26 million in 1997.4、The borders are meaningless to pathogenic microbes, which can travel fromone country to another remote country in a very short time.5、TB:·Prisons and homeless shelters as ideal places for TB spread·Emerging of drug-resistant strain or even multi-drug-resistant strain·A ride on the HIV w^on by attacking the immunocompromisedGroup A strep:·A change in virulence·Mutation in the exterior of the bacteriumFlu:Constant changes in its coat (surface antigens) and resultant changes in its levelof virulence6、Examples:·Experiment in England is seeing the waning immunity because of no vaccination. ·Du e to poor vaccination efforts, the diphtheria situation in the former Soviet Union is serious. '? The vaccination rates are dropping in some American cities, and it will lead to more diphtheria and whooping cough.7、The four areas of focus:·The need for surveillance·Updated science capable of dealing with discoveries in the field·Appropriate prevention and control·Strong public health infrastructure8、The infectious diseases such as TB, flu, diphtheria and scarlet fever will never really go away, and the war against them will never end.Unit31、Terry's life before·She loved practicing Tae Kwon Do·She loved the surge of adrenaline that came with the controlled combat of tournaments.·She competed nationally, even won bronze medal in the trials for the Pan American Games.·She attended medical school, practiced as an internal medicine resident, and became an academic general internist.·She got married and got a son and a daughter.2、The symptoms of MS and autoimmune disease:·Loss of stamina and strength·Problems with balance·Bouts of horrific facial pain·Dips in visual acuity3、Terry did the following before she self-experimented:·She started injections.·She adopted many pharmacotherapies.·She began her own study of literature:? She read articles on websites such as PubMed.? She searched for articles testing new MS drugs in animal models.? She turned to articles concerning neurodegeneration of all types — dementia,Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, and Lou Gehrig's disease.?
