Full textAbstract:
Hawaii is unique in a variety of ways. One of these is the unusual ethnic mixture that makes up its population; under traditional definitions 76% of its population is “minority” and 24% is “White.” The performance of those of its high school students who go on to the University of Hawaii-Manoa on the SAT-Verbal is higher than the national mean, and on the SAT-Mathematical it is much higher. However, the correlation of SAT scores with first year grades has decreased to almost zero since 1982 among Hawaiian students (although among mainland students at UH it is the same as the national average). In this article we provide the facts for a mystery regarding the low and decreasing validity of the SAT at the University of Hawaii among students from Hawaiian secondary schools. Moreover, while we are unable to provide a complete solution, we do eliminate one onerous suspect and provide an evocative hint.

Full textAbstract:
Graduate students within the Tropical Plant and Soil Sciences Department at the University of Hawaii at Manoa developed a program that addressed their concerns regarding career enhancement and planned a Professional Development Seminar Series. Students identified topics related to enhancing their overall graduate experience and professional development, such as ethics in research, leadership in graduate school and beyond, interviewing skills, and writing critically for publications. Experts from the University of Hawaii and business communities presented 35- to 40-minute seminars on the various topics. Expectations of the students included participation in discussion sessions and completion of a critical thinking exercise after each presentation. Course evaluations revealed that the new seminar series was considered to be as effective as established courses within the department. On a scale from 1 = strongly disagree to 5 = strongly agree, students learned to value new viewpoints [4.2 ± 0.8 (mean ± SD)], related what they learned in class to their own experiences (4.5 ± 0.8), and felt the course was a valuable contribution to their education (4.4 ± 0.9). Students suggested offering the course during fall semesters to incoming students, reinforcing of the critical thinking exercise, and making the course mandatory for first-year graduate students.

ABSTRACT In recent decades, Korean language programs at both secondary and post-secondary levels have shown tremendous qualitative and quantitative growth in the US. According to the Modern Language Association (MLA), the number of students studying Korean in the US increased from 168 students in 1960, to 8511 students in 2009. At the University of Hawaii at Manoa (UHM), the first Korean language course was offered in 1946 to 10 students; as of Spring 2011, 582 students were enrolled in 50 Korean classes. As technology, pedagogical methods, and instructor quality have developed, language education has undergone tremendous change. And students' needs and motivations have changed enormously as well. In order to assess these changes, a needs analysis was conducted for Korean language programs in Hawaii, from high school through graduate school, in order to (i) identify Korean language learners' motivations and needs, and (ii) analyze differences among students based on (a) grade level, (b) proficiency level, and (c) status as heritage or non-heritage speaker. The results reveal the strengths and weaknesses of the current curriculum in satisfying the expectations and desires of students.

Abstract Efficacy trials were conducted from 20 Jan through 1 Feb 95 at the University of Hawaii at Manoa Waiakea Experiment Station in Hilo, Hi. Rhapis palms (approximately 3–4 ft) growing in 3 gal pots were randomly selected from an infested nursery in Mt. View, HI. Treatments consisted of 1 plant. Temperature probes were inserted in the center of each pot. Pots (not including foliage) were submerged in 49° C water until the center of the pot reached the target temperature. Pots were held in the water for 10 min after reaching the target temperature then cooled in water at ambient temperature (26° C) until the internal temperature was reduced to 30° C. Controls were submerged in water at ambient temperature (26° C) for the time equal to the longest treatment plus cooling time. Efficacy was determined by removing the media from the roots and counting the number of live and dead mealybugs on 1 Feb with the aid of a binocular dissecting microscope. The criterion for adult and nymph mortality was no movement; the criterion for egg mortality was no crawler emergence. Mortality percentages were calculated.

Full textAbstract:
The University of Hawaii at Manoa campus offers a rich diversity of plants for students, university personnel, and the public. Although providing botanical facts, a current university web site and an arboretum brochure about campus plants lack horticulturally related information. By highlighting the unique horticultural plants on campus, a web site would provide valuable information on the uses, care, and propagation of these plants. The purpose of this project was to develop a web site featuring horticulturally important plants on campus. The home page explains why plants are beneficial in interior spaces. Other sections of the web site include basic plant care, plant selection, plant names, and plant pictures. Basic plant care covers planting media, containers, watering, lighting, fertilizing, pruning, propagation, and pest control. Users can select plants using two criteria—lighting in the plant's desired location (low, medium, and high) and low plant maintenance. Information on a specific plant is accessed by common name, scientific name, or a plant's picture. Each plant's web page provides details on its background, care, and propagation. By emphasizing the important horticultural plants on campus, this web site helps students, university personnel, and the public select and grow plants for their dormitories, apartments, offices, and homes. In addition, users gain knowledge about the lush landscape environment on campus. Lastly, the web site enhances the learning experience of students in horticulture and botany courses, serves as a resource for K–12 students for their visits to the campus to learn about tropical plants, and aids tourists in planning a more informative visit to campus to see the plants they learned about on the web site.

Full textAbstract:
Field surveys were carried out from January 2010 to June 2011 to record the environmental properties of Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki and C. gestroi (Wasmann) (Blattodea: Rhinotermitidae) field sites on the island of Oahu, Hawaii; and to document seasonal patterns in C. formosanus and C. gestroi foraging activity. The two field sites selected differed in elevation, soil characteristics, vegetation, and mean temperature and humidity patterns. The C. formosanus colony was located on the Manoa campus of the University of Hawaii, near Miller Hall; while the C. gestroi colony was located 40 km away at the Barber’s Point Horse Stables in Kalaeloa, Oahu (formerly Barber’s Point Naval Housing). Mean temperature and humidity were recorded monthly at each field site using a Hobo® data logger (1000-1100h), soil samples were taken from each site and analyzed for physical properties, and vegetation type/s were observed, photographed, and samples brought to laboratory for identification. During each site visit, the number of active termite collection traps (termites present) out of a total of 22 traps per site were counted. The C. gestroi field site was generally warmer than that of C. formosanus. Both termite species exhibited irregular activity throughout the year, although C. formosanus was more active in general during cooler months (winter) than C. gestroi; while C. gestroi was generally more active during late spring and summer months. These results, as well as introduction histories, may help to explain C. gestroi distribution patterns in Hawaii.

Full textAbstract:
The incidence of metabolic and chronic diseases including cancer, obesity, inflammation-related diseases sharply increased in the 21st century. Major underlying causes for these diseases are inflammation and oxidative stress. Accordingly, natural products and their bioactive components are obvious therapeutic agents for these diseases, given their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Research in this area has been significantly expanded to include chemical identification of these compounds using advanced analytical techniques, determining their mechanism of action, food fortification and supplement development, and enhancing their bioavailability and bioactivity using nanotechnology. These timely topics were discussed at the 20th Frontier Scientists Workshop sponsored by the Korean Academy of Science and Technology, held at the University of Hawaii at Manoa on 23 November 2019. Scientists from South Korea and the U.S. shared their recent research under the overarching theme of Bioactive Compounds, Nanoparticles, and Disease Prevention. This review summarizes presentations at the workshop to provide current knowledge of the role of natural products in the prevention and treatment of metabolic diseases.

Abstract Efficacy trials were conducted from 20 May through 26 Sep in an existing, 4 year old ginger planting at the University of Hawaii at Manoa, Waiakea Experiment Station (Hilo), HI. Treatments consisted of 4 replicates with 5 plants per replicate arranged in a RCB experimental design. Selected insecticides were applied at the following rates: Talstar T&O; 0.1 lb AI/100 gal, Pageant DF; 0.5 lb AI/100 gal, Marathon 1G; 0.4 lb Al/acre, Mavrik Aquaflow; 0.08 lb AI/100 gal combined with M-Pede 1855 ml AI/100 gal by volume. Foliar insecticides were applied biweekly beginning 14 Jun through 25 Jul for a total of four applications using a solo back pack sprayer (Solo Inc., Newport News, VA) equipped with an 8004 Teejet nozzle at 276 KPa (702 liters/ha). A spreader sticker (Adhere, J. R. Simplot, Lanthrop, CA) was added to all foliar treatments including the control at a rate of 0.39 ml/liter solution. Marathon 1G was applied once, around and within the ginger stalks, and watered immediately after treatment. Treatment efficacy was determined by dissecting the flower bracts and terminal leaf sheath and observing for various insect pests. Flowers were considered infested if a single live (moving) insect was found. The three species of mealybugs and two ant species were each pooled for analysis. The percentages of infested flowers were transformed to arcsine square root and subjected to ANOVA. Back transformed means are presented.

Full textAbstract:
Research on work readiness indicates employers are increasingly pointing out that soft skills are as important as discipline specific knowledge and technical skills when hiring recent university graduates. However, many university students think excellent grades are the main reason they get the jobs. The disconnect between what employers expect and what students imagine is significant to the extent that many recent university graduates are unable to be employed in the jobs they want, and many employers have challenges dealing with recent university graduates who are not work ready. In 2018, a soft skills pilot study was conducted with internship supervisors who work with the Human Development and Family Studies Program at the University of Hawaii at Manoa. An online survey was sent to 65 internship supervisors, and three focus group sessions were conducted as a follow-up of the survey. In 2019, Phase 2 of this study polled 76 employers who participated in a university career fair on what soft skills they expect university graduates to have at the time of hiring. This paper reports on findings to two questions: 1) What employers think of undergraduate university students who have completed an internship with them, and 2) What soft skills employers expect of recent university graduates who are transitioning into the workplace. Findings indicate that in addition to soft skills, employers also regard personal attributes and qualities as equally important at the time of hire.

Full textAbstract:
Timothy Jay Motley was born June 4th, 1965, to Roy and Joan (née Schaeffer) Motley, in Paxton, Illinois, USA. He grew up on a farm in east-central Illinois, and attended Armstrong-Ellis Grade School. He entered Eastern Illinois University in Charleston, Illinois, where he completed a Bachelor of Science in 1987 and a Master of Science in Botany in 1989, having written a dissertation on Sweet Flag (Acorus calamus). In 1996 he earned a Ph.D. in Botany at the University of Hawaii, Manoa; his dissertation on evolutionary and reproductive biology of Labordia (Loganiaceae). While in Hawaii, he developed a particular interest for the Pacific islands flora and for ethnobotany, two passions that he pursued for the rest of his life. Shortly after finishing his doctorate, he worked at The New York Botanical Garden (NYBG) as Post-Doctoral Research Associate (1997−1998), Assistant Curator (1998−2004), Acting Chair (1999−2000; 2001−2002), and Project Head of Conservation Genetics in Island Systems (1998−2006) in the Lewis B. and Dorothy Cullman Program for Molecular Systematics Studies. While working for NYBG, he travelled widely in regions where his projects would take him, mostly in the South Pacific, and visited the Kingdom of Tonga, Rapa Iti, Bora Bora, Papua New Guinea, Guam, Pohnpei, Fiji, Mauritius, Reunion, Vanuatu, Philippines, Jamaica, New Zealand, New Caledonia, Hawaii, and Tahiti. In 2006, he was hired as the J. Robert Stiffler Distinguished Professor of Botany and Associate Professor in the Department of Biological Sciences, Old Dominion University, and as the Director of Science at the Norfolk Botanical Garden, Norfolk, Virginia. During this period, he continued his expeditions to study and collect plants in the South Pacific and beyond, including Ecuador, the Galapagos Archipelago, Singapore, Brunei Darussalam, Mexico, the Louisiade Archipelago, and yearly field trips to underexplored regions of China. Sadly, after suffering a sudden cardiac arrest, he passed away on March 28, 2013, at age 47, at the peak of his career, leaving his wife, young son, and numerous colleagues and friends. His numerous ongoing projects, which are currently being continued by his graduate students and colleagues around the world, assure that his scientific legacy, his loving character, and his integrity will never be forgotten.

This paper presents the design exploration of a studio conducted at the University of Hawaii at Manoa. The study began with the premise that high-rise housing in Honolulu is not a viable solution within such a unique natural and urban setting. Students have challenged the issue by testing and experimenting on a variety of distinct housing alternatives within the studio. The studio then introduced some pedagogical agenda of housing to students and required an analytical project that focused on the dwelling and its collective form to elucidate fundamentals of housing design. This study laid the groundwork of each student's design development throughout the project, upon completion a variety of different designs and solutions were proposed responded to distinct themes and problems. In this article, different types of housing prototypes and their distinctive clustering as a unique urban village as a whole are shown, and the final model of the studio as a collective form is presented. In conclusion, the pedagogical value of the design studio is discussed.

View, HI, and transported to the Experiment Station for subsequent tests. Flower stems were divided into 18 groups arranged in 6 treatments with 3 replicates of 10 stems each and held in 19 liter buckets containing 11 liters of tap water. Flowers were treated on 3 Apr (rep 1) and 8 Apr (reps 2 and 3). Treatment consisted of placing the bucket of flowers in the hot air chamber at 44.4 °C, 60% r.h., 0.23 m3 s-1 fan circulation at 26 °C (measured) for 1-5 h at 1 h interval. The check was not treated. Immediately after treatment, flowers were enclosed in bags made from spunbonded polyester (Reemay 2006 UV [20 g/m2], DuPont Wilmington, DE) to prevent cross contamination. Twenty-four hours after treatment, thrips were extracted from 10 flowers (1 flower per stem) using Berlese funnels heated with a 60 watt incandescent light bulb. Thrips were collected in a 8:2:1:1 solution of ethanol, distilled H2O, acetic acid and glycerin. The number of adults and nymphs were counted and pooled for analysis. Data were subjected to ANOVA and means separated by Waller Duncan k-ratio t test k = 100.

Full textAbstract:
Over the past twenty years, changes in the nation's labor market have increased the importance of possessing a postsecondary degree. Students who continue their education after high school maximize their preparedness for careers in today's changing economy as they learn the higher order thinking and technical skills to take advantage of current and future job market trends. For individuals with disabilities, completion of some type of postsecondary education, including vocational-technical training, significantly improves their chances of securing meaningful employment. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure that youth with disabilities are fully prepared in secondary school to continue on to and to meet the challenges of postsecondary education. The successful use of technology and other supports plays a critical role in this preparation. The purpose of this article is to (a) describe findings from a five-year research project at the University of Hawaii at Manoa that demonstrate the importance of postsecondary school for individuals with disabilities and highlights the current status of postsecondary access for these individuals, (b) discuss barriers to the successful transition between secondary school and postsecondary school for youth with disabilities, and (c) explore the implications of these findings for secondary school preparation.

Full textAbstract:
This paper examines Thai-English code-switching by eight Thai students at the University of Hawaii at Manoa by taking into account Bell’s audience design factors (Bell 1984), speech accommodation theory (Giles & Smith 1979; Giles & Coupland 1991 ), and other psychosocial factors. Code-switching is defined here as an alternation between one language and another made by a speaker within a sentence, sentences, or a conversation. This paper proposes that code-switching is essentially an accommodative phenomenon; that is, speakers will switch into one language if they think it is appropriate to the topic or to their notions of self and addressee. Conversely, some speakers appear to actively resist code-switching, depending on their evaluation of their own linguistic skills and their perceptions of others. By bringing together observations about who favors code-switching and who resists it, the topic of conversation, among other factors, emerges as the most important social variable across individuals. The result runs counter to the audience design model proposed by Bell (1984), who claims that audience design factors are more influential than non-audience design factors in bilingual code choice.

Abstract Bioassay tests were conducted from 10 Mar through 8 Apr (study 1) and 31 Aug through 22 Sep (study 2) at the University of Hawaii at Manoa, Waiakea Experiment Station in Hilo, HI. Established plants ‘Uniwai Supreme’ (study 1), and ‘Uniwai Pearl’ (study 2) growing in 0.5 inch crushed basalt rock under a Conley cold frame greenhouse (6 mil. clear FVG 3HLFI polyethylene film covering) were used in this study. Insecticides were applied once at 1,375 liters/ha using a compressed air sprayer with a 8004 Teejet nozzle at 40 psi. Sixteen leaves per treatment, 4 leaves per replicate, were removed weekly from the plant and placed into 12.0 × 10.5 cm unwaxed paper containers. Ten orchid weevils, field collected on bamboo orchids, Arundina graminifolia (D. Don) Hochr., were added to each container and covered with organdy. In study 1, leaf residues were assayed 7, 14, and 21 d after treatment. Weevil mortality and the number of feeding marks (injury) were assessed using a 5d exposure period. In study 2, residues were bioassayed 7 and 14 d after treatment and mortality and injury were assessed after a 2 d exposure period.

Abstract
 This study is devoted to investigating dynamic motivational construct about learning structures in an immersion context. Because of ever-changing motivational construct in particular driven by learning structures in a new environment, this study assumes that the preferred learning structure which is commonly in favor in their home countries might shift which eventually affects their learning motivation. This study takes place at the language training center of the University of Hawaii at Manoa, USA, and employs a survey. The research participants are mostly graduate students taking English courses to bridge their language skill. After doing correlation, the researcher has found several surprising findings. The first finding is that although cooperative learning has the highest contribution to intrinsic motivation, they don’t show any significant correlation (r=.279). On the other hand, competitive learning negatively correlates to intrinsic motivation (r=.-407), suggesting that if competitive learning is enacted, students’ intrinsic motivation even decreases. In terms of learning preference, individualistic learning is favored most which might be affected by learning cultures commonly adopted in graduate programs in the US.
 Keywords: Self-Determination Theory, learning types, extrinsic and intrinsic motivations.

Full textAbstract:
In this article the authors discuss on topics arising from globalization issues that should be included in public administration education. Globalization is a pervasive force for the foreseeable future, and both public administrators and public administration education must adapt and respond to that force. Factors assocated with globalization are having, and are likely to continue to have, profound effects on the public institutions. And the institutions will play a critial role in determining who benefits and who loses from globalization, both within nations and between them. How public institutions engage globalization issues will depend upon a number of factors, some of which are seemingly beyond anyone's control. One of the factors we can control is how we educate people in public roles. Paying careful attention to the content of public service education, as well as the more subtle but powerful proces issues associated with that education, can gave large public benefits.

Thirty-three years ago, futurist Sohail Inayatullah and MIT Senior Lecturer Otto Scharmer participated in a seminar focused on macrohistory at the University of Hawaii at Manoa held by peace activist and futurist Johan Galtung. In the years that followed, each developed a body of work that provides an integrated theory and method that supports individuals, groups and organizations to sense, vision and co-create the future. Dr. Inayatullah’s Causal Layered Analysis (CLA) draws on and integrates empiricist, interpretive, critical, and action learning modes of knowing at inner and outer levels to cultivate transformative spaces for the creation of alternative futures. Dr. Scharmer’s Theory U provides a framework and process for building essential leadership capacities needed to address the root causes of today’s social, environmental, and spiritual challenges by shifting individual and collective consciousness from ego-system to eco-system awareness. Recently the two came together in dialogue, joined by the Presencing Institute’s Emma D. Paine, Editorial Coordinator and recent graduate from the London School of Economics, to explore the role of futuring in societal transformation. In the context of our current polycrisis, and drawing from a wealth of personal and professional experience, the three engage in a multi-generational conversation about bringing the future into being.

Abstract The active ingredient in Spin Out is copper hydroxide. Spin Out is incorporated into Supercover Plus, Amoco RFX, and Texel TEX-R ground cover fabrics to deter root development by means of chemical root pruning. Efficacy against the two-stripped slug were conducted from 2 Dec through 9 Dec 96 at the Panaewa Farm Lots in Hilo, HI (study 1) and from 23 Dec through 27 Dec at the University of Hawaii at Manoa, Waiakea Research Station in Hilo, HI (study 2). In study 1, Supercover Plus, Texel Tex-R, and an untreated ground cover (PAK, Wallacoochee, GA) were cut to 12 ft2 pieces and randomly placed in a slug infested area. Treatments were replicated 4 times. The number of live slugs on or beneath the ground covers were recorded daily. During the test period (study 1) the average daily rainfall was 0.6 ± 0.4 inches at a pH of 4.7 ± 0.3. In study 2, 1.0 ft2 wooden boxes were lined with Texel Tex-R, Amoco RFX, and untreated (PAK, Wallacoochee, GA) ground cover fabrics. Fifteen grams of ‘iceberg’ lettuce were placed in each box. Ten field collected slugs (a 2.54 cm in length) were added to each box, then covered with a Plexiglas cover. Treatments were replicated 4 times. Mortality was accessed 1 and 4 days after the slugs were added.

Although boron is a ubiquitous element found in rocks, soil and water, little has been determined about its physiological role in plants and animals. Comparing the effect of sublethal boron exposure on 3 species yields a broader view of the toxicity of boron compounds in termites. Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae) were collected from colonies maintained in at the University of Hawaii at Manoa campus in Honolulu, HI (United States); C. acinaciformis (Froggart) from Darwin, North Territory (Australia); and Mastotermes darwiniensis Froggart (Isoptera: Mastotermitidae) from Darwin, North Territory (Australia). Termites were exposed to untreated composite board or board containing zinc borate and anhydrous boric acid (ZB/B2O3 in a 60/40 ratio, 0.75% BAE) in a no-choice test for 5 d, either in Honolulu (C. formosanus) or Australia (C. acinaciformis and M. darwiniensis); survival rates, wet weight, and boron content of the termites were determined. Inductively Coupled Plasma-Atomic Emission Spectrometry (ICP-AES) was used to determine boron content in field-caught and experimental termites. There was a significant (P < 0.01) decrease in survival of the boron-treated Coptotermes in comparison with the untreated termites, although no mortality was observed in M. darwiniensis. All 3 species showed a significant (P < 0.01) increase in boron content in boron-treated individuals, and there were no significant differences observed between the field-caught and untreated termites.

Full textAbstract:
Several species of Metrosideros (Myrtaceae), referred to as ohia in Hawaii, are endemic trees that comprise as much as 80% of the native Hawaiian forests. For centuries, these trees have provided niches for many indigenous and endangered plants and animals and are treasured by Hawaiians for their beauty and role in folklore and legends. During April 2005, a cultivated ohia plant was diagnosed by the Agricultural Diagnostic Service Center at the University of Hawaii at Manoa as infected by a rust fungus. Rust pustules containing abundant urediniospores were observed on leaves, stems, and sepals, causing discolored spots and severe deformity of young leaves and growing tips. By July 2005, a similar rust disease was observed on other plants in the family Myrtaceae; namely Syzygium jambos (L.) Alston, Eugenia koolauensis Degener, E. reinwardtiana (Blume) DC, and Psidium guajava L. Microscopic examination of the uredinia and urediniospores showed that the rust was morphologically similar to Puccinia psidii, which is reported as the guava or eucalyptus rust in Florida and Central and South America (1,2). To confirm the identity of this fungus, DNA was extracted from urediniospores of two isolates collected from ohia plants, and their nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS) was amplified with two universal primers, ITS4 and ITS5 (3). Sequences of the ITS region of these isolates from ohia were identical to the P. psidii isolates provided by A. Alfenas in Brazil and M. Rayachhetry in Florida. Koch's postulate of the isolates, obtained from ohia, was performed using 1 × 108 spores/ml of urediniospores suspension in distilled water. The suspension was sprayed onto 6-month-old ohia seedlings. These inoculated seedlings were placed in clear plastic chambers maintained at 100% relative humidity and 22°C with a combination of 10-h fluorescent light period and a 14-h dark period. After 48 h of incubation, the seedlings were removed from the chambers and transferred to a greenhouse where the ambient temperature ranged from 20 to 24°C. Rust pustules appeared after 1 to 2 weeks of incubation. Symptoms first appeared as tiny, bright yellow, powdery eruptions that developed into circular, uredinial pustules on the stem and foliage. These pustules later expanded, coalesced, and became necrotic, spreading over the entire leaf and stem surfaces, and then leaves and stems were deformed and tip dieback ensued. These symptoms were the same as those observed on the naturally infected cultivated ohia plant mentioned above. P. psidii is reported to be native to South and Central America that later spread to some Myrtaceous plants in the Caribbean countries (1). It has a very wide host range within the family Myrtaceae (2). To our knowledge, this is the first report of P. psidii in Hawaii. This rust disease may pose a formidable threat to Myrtaceous species that make up the native Hawaiian forests and are grown as ornamental plants or for the production of wood chips.

TPS12124 Background: Obesity and weight gain are significant concerns for breast cancer survivors. Obesity at diagnosis is an established negative prognostic factor and studies suggest that post-diagnosis weight gain may increase risk for recurrence and decrease disease free survival. Various interventions such as dietary modification, physical activity, individualized counseling, cognitive behavioral therapy, and combinations of these interventions have been studied in order to identify strategies for weight loss in breast cancer survivors. However, one of the main challenges have been to show sustainability in these interventions. Given the adverse consequences of weight gain after diagnosis, continued efforts to identify appropriate weight management interventions aimed at promoting overall health and long term survivorship are needed. Methods: We have opened an investigator initiated Breast Cancer Exercise Study that provides a tailored exercise program and body health assessments for breast cancer patients along their treatment journey. We are enrolling women diagnosed with breast cancer up to 2 years after their diagnosis into a two 12-week exercise program. Participants’ biometrics and physical assessments will be assessed at baseline to determine the appropriate exercise intensity to implement. Women will attend private 1:1, 90min sessions, 3 days/week. At the end of the initial 12-week program, biometric assessments are again performed and participants are then randomized to either: a) continue with individual exercise classes, 2 days/week or b) continue with group exercise classes, 2 days/week. The study follows their long term outcomes including cancer recurrence, exercise adherence as well as quality of life symptoms. The functional health assessment and subsequent personalized exercise program utilizes kinesiology students from University of Hawaii-Manoa during their clinical practicum and is based at our community partner facility the Rehabilitation Hospital of the Pacific. Body assessments and other biomarkers are evaluated through expertise at University of Hawaii Cancer Center. Collectively, our study exemplifies our partnership with community facilities, utilizes cutting edge research and incorporates local students, to provide an important health program for cancer patients all the while enriching our understanding of the unique patient population. The results of this project may help to develop standardized exercise protocols for breast cancer survivors and provide insights to other important health concerns.

Full textAbstract:
Research on human–human communication has identified that people apply different constraints in communication with each other. Application of such constraints as social concerns over feeling, imposition, and disapproval and task concerns over clarity and effectiveness has also been found to be influenced by people's self-construal, being independent or interdependent. Do these constraints and individual difference in self-construal matter in communication with humanoid robots? This study uses the theoretical framework of communication constraints to compare whether or not people of different self-construals apply social-oriented and task-oriented constraints differently to humanoid social robot targets. A total of 161 students from the University of Hawaii at Manoa participated in the study. The participants completed a questionnaire that determined their concern for the five communication constraints (feelings, nonimposition, disapproval, clarity, and effectiveness) in situations involving robots, as well as scales measuring self-construal. The results show interdependent self-construal related significantly with the concerns over avoiding hurting the humanoid's feelings, avoiding inconveniencing the humanoid robot, and avoiding being disliked by the humanoid robot. On the other hand, independent self-construal related significantly with the concern over clarity in communicating with the humanoid robot. However, self-construal did not influence one's concern of effectiveness (a task-oriented constraint) in interaction with humanoid robots. The results of the research offer new insight into the linkage between self-construal, a cultural concept at the individual level, and how human–robot communication is psychologically structured and constrained.

Abstract First language (L1) transfer is a common phenomenon in second language (L2) acquisition. However, it will be argued in this article that although there are indeed pervasive influences of learners’ L1 in L2 acquisition, L1 transfer is not everywhere and it can be directional. We compare data from Chang’s (2001b. Discourse effects on the second language acquisition of English and Chinese dative structures. Honolulu: University of Hawai’i at Manoa PhD dissertation, 2004. Discourse effects on EFL learners’ production of dative constructions. Journal of Kaohsiung University of Applied Sciences 33. 145–169.) studies of Chinese-speaking learners of English with data of our study of English-speaking learners of Chinese to examine whether their L2 English discourse and L2 Chinese discourse are equally influenced by their L1 discourse rules. We focus on learners’ answers to wh-questions with a double object construction or a prepositional object construction. The results demonstrate that L1 transfer takes place in Chinese-speaking learners’ L2 English discourse but not in English-speaking learners’ L2 Chinese discourse. This directionality of L1 transfer is accounted for on the basis of computational complexity of linguistic structures involved and on an economical consideration.

<p><strong>Background:</strong> Prickly poppies (genus <em>Argemone</em>, Papaveraceae) epitomize well-defended plants. With high prickle densities and exudation of bright yellow latex from glaucous leaves, there are few reports of herbivore damage on these plants. Yet, little ecological work has examined within-plant or among-species variation in levels of anti-herbivore defenses in prickly poppies.</p><p><strong>Questions:</strong> Are prickly poppies well defended against generalist herbivores? Does chemical defense vary within prickly poppy plants in a pattern consistent with optimal defense theory?</p><p><strong>Species study:</strong> <em>Argemone glauca, A. mexicana</em>, <em>A. ochroleuca, A. platyceras</em> were examined in bioassays using generalist caterpillars, <em>Agrotis ipsilon</em> Hufnagel and<em> Chrysodeixis eriosoma </em>Doubleday (Noctuidae).</p><p><strong>Study sites and dates:</strong> Seeds were collected from field populations in Mexico (2015) and Hawaii (2011); experiment was conducted at the University of Hawaii at Manoa, Fall 2015.</p><p><strong>Methods:</strong> Using a pair of no-choice bioassays, variation in the quality of whole-leaf and chemical extract infused artificial diets for caterpillar development was assessed.</p><p><strong>Results:</strong> Survivorship was lowest on the control lettuce diet, and varied little between poppy diets although pupal mass was marginally lower for caterpillars reared on <em>A. platyceras </em>than <em>A. ochroleuca</em>. Isolating the effects of plant chemistry, <em>C. eriosoma </em>performance was most strongly reduced by seed extracts, with an extension in pupal development time by one week compared to herbivores reared on other diets, as well as a significant reduction in mean adult mass.</p><p><strong>Conclusions:</strong> These results are consistent with optimal defense theory, reflecting greater allocation of defense in tissues of high fitness value (<em>i.e.,</em> seeds). Future work with native herbivores, chemical analyses, and investigations into alternative functions for these plant traits would shed new light on this interesting group of plants.</p>
