▼ Background: Risky sexual behaviour among the youth of South Africa is one of the major health concerns in the country because it is associated with negative reproductive health outcomes such as high teenage pregnancies and exposure to sexually transmitted infections including HIV/AIDS. Objective: The main objective for this study is to examine the factors influencing risky sexual behaviour among the youth in South Africa in order to make recommendations for strategies that would help reproductive health programmes in planning. Data and methods: The research uses data from the 2003 South African Demographic and Health survey. The study population comprised of 4597 female youth aged 15-34 years old. Bivariate analyses and multinomial logistic regression were used to determine the factors affecting risky sexual behaviour among the youth. The factors that were significant in the multiple regression models were regarded as the most important variables associated with risky sexual behaviour. Results: Out of 4597 female youth, 114 (2.5%) had low risk sexual behaviour, 2112 had medium risk sexual behaviour and 278 had high risk sexual behaviour. The results revealed that risky sexual behaviour varies by background variables. Risky sexual behaviour increases with age, is higher among urban than rural youth i higher among youth with secondary education than youth in other educational categories. In addition, the results showed that risky sexual behaviour vary according to province of residence. The highest risky behaviour was observed in Kwa-Zulu Natal (22.7%) and Western Cape (21.5%). whereas North West and Eastern Cape (5.1% and 3.9%) respectively, had low risky sexual behaviour. The multi-nominal analyses indicate that having a radio and marital status were significant) associated with risky sexual behavior), [OR=1.23, Cl=l.23] Conclusion: The study concludes that policies and programmes designed at reducing risky sexual behaviour among the youth should continue be supported and encouraged. Since having a radio is associated with low risky sexual behaviour. it is suggested that messages encouraging the youth on safe sex by use of condoms, reduce number of sexual partners, avoid receiving money or gifts in exchange of sex should continue to be reinforced through radio. Furthermore, parents should also be taught through a radio on how to educate their children to practice safe sex. Finally, the results show that there is still need for further research on risky sexual behaviour among the youth. Future research should, among other things focus on strategies to delay sexual debut among the youth, the role of parents and good cultural practices.

▼ This study was carried out to investigate from an ethical perspective how the “UNESCO International Guidelines on Sexuality Education” can be implemented in Zambian secondary schools. The objectives of the study were to: i) explain the debate for and against school-based sexuality education, ii) assess the current curriculum on sexuality education in Zambian secondary schools, iii) find out views from key informants concerning the implementation of school-based sexuality education in Zambian secondary schools, iv) give an ethical evaluation of how the UNESCO International Guidelines on Sexuality Education should be implemented in Zambian secondary schools. The data was collected through documentary research and also by conducting interviews with some key informants from the Ministry of Education, religious groups, Forum for African Women Educationists Zambia (FAWEZA) and parents. Different interview schedules were used to collect data from these different groups. The methodology employed was empirical research combined with an ethical analysis that applied the ethical theory of Utilitarianism and Rights Theory. The study shows that the Ministry of Education in Zambia does not have a serious policy with regard to sexuality education in schools. Although there is a statement made in the Education Policy Document Educating Our Future concerning the teaching of sexuality education, very little has been done to enforce it. Analysis of the secondary school curriculum revealed that young people learn about their sexuality in Environmental Science, Biology, Civic Education and Religious Education. Nonetheless, these subjects do not cover most of the essential information and skills that young people need. Besides, these subjects are optional except environmental science which is compulsory at grades 8 and 9. This makes young people potentially vulnerable to risky sexual behaviour which in turn affects their health and their education process. Further, very few parents discuss issues of sexuality with their children due to certain social norms or because they are too busy to do so. The views of those opposed to school-based sexuality education are that school programmes talk about sexual issues in a crude way. For instance, young people are taught to use contraceptives and condoms. This encourages them to indulge in premarital sex. Nevertheless, considering the overall results of the findings and based on human rights and utilitarianism, it is concluded that implementing the UNESCO International Guidelines is preferable because it promotes the well-being of young people better than home-based sexuality education and what is in the current curriculum for secondary schools. Based on these findings, the study made some recommendations. The prominent ones are that the Ministry of Education should reinforce a policy on the teaching of sexuality education in schools and teacher training colleges to equip teachers with the information and skills that they would later teach to the pupils. It is also recommended that the…

▼ Sex offender treatment, policy, and perception are greatly intertwined in the numerous policies in place. Current policies tend to reflect negative perceptions toward both sex offenders and treatment and an inaccurate view of the effectiveness of current sex offender policies. The source of these inaccurate views, however, is not entirely clear, with some researchers linking it to a simple lack of exposure to accurate information. Additionally, the broadly negative perceptions, emotions, and beliefs may be leading individuals to utilize more superficial routes of processing, as explained by the Elaboration Likelihood Model. Given the potential for the public’s opinion to make a significant impact on the direction of future policies and treatment support, understanding what influences these perceptions could offer valuable information for the future. Three hundred twenty-three UND students were randomly assigned to six groups receiving information on either sex offender treatment or policies using difference presentation styles to examine how presentation style and accurate information may influence their understanding and support of sex offender treatment and policies. Scales were created or used from existing measures that reflected attitudes toward sex offenders, sex offender treatment, knowledge or support of sex offender policies, and need for cognition. These scales were completed prior to and following the information sections to determine if the provided information influenced their understanding, perceptions, and support. A series or ANOVAs were conducted and significant main effects found such that policy information led to greater policy support, those who were presented with information in a non-narrative, statistics based presentation style had a significant increase in policy awareness, support, and belief in policy effectiveness, and those that were high in need for cognition exhibiting a decrease in negative attitudes toward sex offenders. The findings indicate that providing accurate information about sex offenders, even in persuasive ways, may not change their beliefs, and that further research on those more intrinsically invested in research or this particular topic or with those more notably different in their route of processing may provide more conclusive information on how to persuade the public to believe the research instead of their long-standing inaccurate perceptions.

▼ Sex offender policy, treatment, and public perception are greatly intertwined in the numerous policies in place regarding sex offenders. These policies tend to reflect the underlying perceptions and myths about sex offenders than the reality of sexual offenses and treatment. These perceptions have also had a role in shaping psychological treatment of sex offenders through enacted policies and public support, or dissent, for community treatment centers, half-way houses, or residency restriction laws. With the sizeable potential impact of the public's perceptions of these issues, examination of their perceptions of sex offenders, sex offender policies, and sex offender treatment, and whether accurate information can change these perceptions, will offer valuable information for the future. Two hundred sixty UND students were randomly assigned to 8 different groups receiving varying amounts of information on sex offender information, policies, and treatment to examine how receiving accurate information may influence their perceptions and understand of sex offenders and agreement with sex offender policies. Scales were created that reflected understanding of policies, policy effectiveness, treatment support, and support of punitive policies. There were significant main effects for policy information on understanding of policies and treatment support. Significant interactions were also found on the understanding of policies scale and support of punitive policies. There were also significant findings on the Positive and Negative Affect Scale for statistics information indicating that providing statistics information to individuals may decrease positive affect. The findings indicate that providing individuals with information about current policies in place may be effective way to increase their understanding and support for policies and treatment methods, but the inclusion of other types of information (such as treatment information or statistics information) may lead to a more realistic assessment of their understanding.

▼ Introduction: The World Health Organization (WHO) defines adolescent people as those between the ages of 10 to 19 years. These age groups are often characterized as being at a life stage of increased experimentation and exploration associated with a range of risky behaviors, including risky sexual behaviors. Moreover, adolescents are less likely than adults to have the information, skills and support to protect themselves against HIV/AI DS and other consequences of premarital sex. Objective: To assess the prevalence of premarital sex and unprotected sexual intercourse practice and associated factors among secondary school adolescent students in Sebeta Town, 2014. Methods and Materials: A questionnaire based cross sectional study design was used to conduct this study on 284 secondary school adolescent students in Sebeta Town from April to May 2014. The data was processed and analyzed by using Epi Info 3.4.3 and SPSS version 16.0. Frequency distribution, charts, figures and tables were used to present the results. Odd ratio and logistic regression were used to determine association between specified factors and to control cofounders respectively. Results: The prevalence of premarital sex among the study participants of this study was 28.3% and 90.1% of them were utilized condom during their sexual intercourse. The premarital sex was strongly associated with grade level and their family income. Grade ten students were 7.99 times high risk to be practiced premarital sex than others (AOR=7.99, CI= (2.2-28.5)) and grade eleven students were 7.81 times high risk to be involved in premarital sex than others grade level students (AOR= 7.81, CI= (2.4-25.4)). Students belong to family earned 500-1000 ETB were viii 2.47 times high risk to be experienced premarital sex than others students (AOR= 2.47, CI= (1.01-6.07)) Conclusion: The prevalence of premarital sex among the study participants was higher than the studies conducted in different parts of Ethiopia and almost all of the students who have had history of sexual practices utilized condom during their sexual intercourse. Premarital sex among the study participants of this study was strongly associated with students‘ grade level and family monthly income status. Recommendation: Ministry of Health, Ministry of Education and schools in collaboration should provide psychosexual services for adolescent students at secondary school level. Key words: premarital sex, unprotected sex, adolescent students, Ethiopia. Advisors/Committee Members: BAZE MEKONNEN (BSc, MSc) (advisor).

▼ De partner van de vrouw met borstkanker wordt geconfronteerd met vele veranderingen en stressoren, die beïnvloedend werken op de (seksuele) kwaliteit van leven. Om te komen tot adequate begeleiding is kennis van het perspectief van de partner van essentieel belang. Door middel van literatuurstudie is een inventarisatie gemaakt van de huidige kennis over de seksuele kwaliteit van leven van partners met borstkanker. Aansluitend zijn met behulp van kwalitatief onderzoek mogelijke verschillen in de seksuele kwaliteit van leven van partners van vrouwen met een pre- en postmenopauzale diagnose onderzocht. De combinatie van literatuurstudie en daaruit volgend kwalitatief onderzoek hebben tot doel inzicht en kennis over de seksuele kwaliteit van leven van partners van vrouwen met borstkanker te vergroten. Vanaf 1993 is er een beginnende ontwikkeling in het onderzoek naar het perspectief van de partner. Op dit moment is er brede erkenning voor de belangrijke rol van seksualiteit binnen de relatie. Borstkanker en de behandeling hiervan kan een vergrote kans geven op onder meer seksuele aanpassingsproblemen. Naast stress- en stemmingsinvloeden spelen hierbij ook andere factoren een rol zoals leeftijd, communicatie, coping en kwaliteit van de pre-diagnostische relatie. Hoe de impact van de verschillende factoren precies is en welke onderlinge beïnvloeding er plaats vindt, is niet altijd duidelijk. Er is geen onderzoek gevonden dat expliciet gericht is op mogelijke verschillen in seksuele kwaliteit van leven tussen partners van pre- en postmenopauzale vrouwen. Uit verschillende onderzoeken komt wel naar voren dat leeftijd van invloed is op beleving van seksualiteit. Bij jongere stellen heeft seksualiteit vaak een grotere prioriteit dan bij oudere stellen, waardoor de impact van borstkanker op seksualiteit verschillend kan zijn. Daarnaast kunnen zorgen over verminderde vruchtbaarheid aanleiding geven tot stress. Oudere stellen hebben vaak meer ervaring met het omgaan met problematische situaties en kunnen mede hierdoor een zekere stressbestendigheid hebben opgebouwd. Uit het kwalitatieve onderzoek blijkt dat de partners van vrouwen met pre- en postmenopauzale borstkanker op overeenkomstige wijze reageren als het gaat om de concrete lichamelijke veranderingen die de borstkanker teweeg heeft gebracht. Ook de reacties over de omgang met de veranderde seksualiteit en de waardering van seksualiteit zijn voor beide groepen overeenkomstig. De twee groepen reageren echter verschillend als het gaat om de emotionele reactie op de diagnose. Op de premenopauzale groep lijkt de emotionele impact groter. Bij de premenopauzale groep lijkt eerder sprake van aanvaarding. De twee groepen verschillen ook in hun reactie op de waargenomen veranderingen in seksualiteit. Partners uit de premenopauzale groep noemen een afgenomen frequentie van geslachtsgemeenschap. Partners uit de postmenopauzale groep geven aan geen veranderingen in de seksuele relatie waar te nemen. Uit de literatuurstudie is gebleken dat borstkanker en de behandeling…

▼ The study was undertaken in three provinces in Zambia namely: Central, Copperbelt and Western Provinces. The study sought to investigate the absence of sex education in Zambian secondary schools as a missed opportunity in the prevention of HIV infection. The objectives of the study were; to explore the consequences of lack of sex education in secondary schools in Zambia, examine if lack of sex education is a missed opportunity in the prevention of HIV, explore the views of secondary school graduates concerning sex education and establish whether secondary education in Zambia promotes the ability to protect oneself against HIV infection. In this particular study, both qualitative and quantitative designs were used. The combined approach provided an opportunity of using tools such as questionnaires, interviews and focus group discussions. The research was necessitated by the general lack of knowledge about sex education as a way of preventing HIV infections in Zambia. The study was guided by two theories: socialisation theory and social learning theory. The elements of socialisation theory in this study are primary and secondary socialisation with a main focus on secondary socialisation as the study investigated the education system in Zambia. The elements of the social learning theory are awareness, self-control, self-efficacy and social support.The results from the study showed that lack of sex education in secondary schools was a missed opportunity in the prevention of HIV infections in Zambia. Furthermore, the study revealed that relationships among the youths which led to sexual intercourse had affected most of the youth both in secondary schools and at times in tertiary education due to the lack of comprehensive understanding of human sexuality. The study revealed that the pupils had observed the need for sex education in schools to be taught so that they could know how to handle and protect themselves. The study further revealed that the means of educating the pupils in secondary schools to protect themselves from HIV infections were misleading as pupils had not reached the maturity to assess the media critically. From the findings of the study it was recommended that there was need for an intervention in the education system so that the education provided attended to the social needs. It is further proposed that there should be an innovation in the curriculum, that is, life skills, based in order to equip the pupils to protect themselves from HIV infections and manage their sexuality in a healthy way. The innovations should build on what is in place looking at both the strengths and weaknesses of the current approaches of education. The study further recommended rethinking or reorganising the content of the education system in order to deliver the skills and make the content learner participatory. Innovation such as sex education may be novelty and considering that curriculum innovation is complex, the study proposes a careful planning for the development and implementation of the curriculum that…

▼ This study was undertaken to investigate the role of sex education in mitigating teenage pregnancy in selected secondary schools in Namwala district of Zambia. The researcher employed qualitative research strategies to collect data from 42 respondents through interviews. The respondents included school administrators (Head teachers, Deputy Headteachers Heads of Departments), teachers and pupils. The Head teachers. Deputy Head teachers. Heads of Department and teachers responded to the one to one interview guides. The pupils responded to focus group discussions. The findings of the study were that through sex education, learners acquired skills in dealing with their sexuality and knowledge about how human bodies function and how to deal with their sexuality. Sex education also helped to change learners' attitudes and values in dealing with their sexuality which had resulted into the reduction in teenage pregnancy and transmission of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs. Additionally, sex education helped learners to make informed and responsible decisions about their sexuality and helped them to become responsible adults. However, in school, sex education was not very much emphasized. Thus, learners did not receive enough knowledge and skills on sexuality education due to lack of materials designed specifically for sex education. There was also lack of trained teachers to teach the subject. The findings also showed that traditional beliefs and values hindered the effective delivery of sex education. This was so because of the traditional myths associated with sex education and because discussions of sexual matters in were viewed as a taboo in the African traditional society. The other findings also showed that sex education was integrated in other subjects and as a result it received little attention or no emphasis compared to the other subjects. This is so because sex education was not a standalone subject and was not allocated on the school time table. Sex education was not examinable and as a result most teachers did not put much attention during lesson delivery as they did with other subjects. Based on these findings, the researcher made some recommendations. The prominent ones were that the Ministry of General Education through Curriculum Development Centre should come up with relevant teaching and learning materials for sex education and also make sex education a standalone subject so as to allocate more time to teaching it. Furthermore, the researcher recommended that the Ministry of General Education should allocate resources to support the training of sex education teachers and schools through the office of Guidance and Counseling should maximize the sensitization of learners on tradition beliefs and values that hindered the effective teaching of sex education.

▼ Studies confirming adaptive sex allocation, or a flexible relative investment in males and females, have been extensive in Hymenoptera, and have been used to predict the quality of biological control agents, to theorize how eusociality is maintained, and to predict population dynamics. Most hymenopterans are haplodiploid, in which females are derived from fertilized eggs and males from unfertilized eggs, so haplodiploid mothers may have a greater ability to adaptively adjust sex allocation. Thysanoptera and Aleyrodidae are also haplodiploid organisms, many of them being important agricultural pests, but less comprehensive studies on sex allocation have been performed with these taxa. Both taxa are also mostly herbivorous, drawing in new elements that may affect sex allocation patterns. This review is a summary of all studies of Aleyrodidae and Thysanoptera sex ratios as affected by temperature, host plant and nutrition, conspecifics, competitors, bacterial and viral endosymbionts, predators, parasitoids and other pathogens. Sex ratio influences were found in studies testing effects of temperature, host plant, conspecifics, competitors, bacterial endosymbionts and a fungal pathogen. Viruses, predators and parasitoids were not found to affect sex ratios in Aleyrodidae and Thysanoptera, although not many studies have collected the data to assess these potential factors. Because sex ratio studies in Thysanoptera and Aleyrodidae have only recorded secondary, adult or operational sex ratios instead of primary sex ratios, differential developmental mortality is left as a confounding variable, and it is difficult to determine whether sex ratio changes are due to sex allocation. To conclude whether sex allocation of mothers is taking place, the primary sex ratios need to be recorded, so we have also included methods for tools, including cytogenetics and survival assays, to find primary sex ratios or confirm differential developmental mortality in these haplodiploid organisms. Future discoveries of sex allocation in Aleyrodidae and Thysanoptera may lead to better predictions of pest populations.

▼ The purpose of this research is to examine the attitudes of undergraduate students at a California State University regarding their experiences with sex education in the K-12 school setting. Parents and school administrators are polled regularly to find out what they think should be in sex education curriculum (Constantine, Jerman, & Huang, 2007; Eisenberg, Madsen, Oliphant, & Resnick, 2012; Greenblatt, 2008; Kantor & Levitz, 2017; McKee, Ragsdale, & Southward, 2014; Turnbull, van Schaik, & van Wersch, 2010), but adolescents and young adults are rarely asked what they want from their sex education (Forrest et al., 2004). There is a significant gap in academic literature that asks young adults to first reflect on their experience of receiving sex education, but even fewer studies have then asked those same young adults what they think should be taught (Walcott, Chenneville, & Tarquini, 2011). In addition to this, virtually no research exists that views those answers through the lens of gender to find out if there is a disproportion in the topics taught to, or preferred by, males or females. This research could potentially add to the ongoing conversation about how instructors teach sex education, and what is included in that instruction. It is the hope of the researcher that the outcome of this research will positively impact the breadth of knowledge that young people receive in their sex education curriculum. The research study was designed using a quantitative approach by gathering data through online surveys. The survey questions examined students??? previous experiences of their own sex education, their attitudes about those experiences, and their current attitudes about sex education. Because the research questions ask students to explore their current attitudes about sex education curriculum, this cross-sectional survey design enabled the researcher to measure the current beliefs and attitudes of the students surveyed (Creswell, 2012). Surveys were sent to students enrolled in specific classes within the College of Education at a California State University. Survey topics included basic demographic information, when/if participants were taught sex education, what topics they received instruction on, and what topics they would recommend be included in future curriculums. Through frequencies and crosstabulations, the researcher was able to compare specific data sets and responses based on participants??? gender and experience with sex education curriculum. Conclusions Reached Overall results of this study revealed that there is very little relationship between the type of sex education students received when they were an adolescent, and what kind of instruction they support and recommend as adults. The ratio of participants that received abstinence curricula and recommend it was not positively consistent, nor was the relationship between learning and recommending comprehensive sex education, since most participants recommended comprehensive education regardless of what they received growing up.

▼ The Ministry of Education has shown commitment to ensure that female pupils get the same equal and quality education as their male counterparts in high schools since the 1990s. Unfortunately studies have shown that the performance of girls in these institutions is below that of boys at both grades 9 and 12 national examinations. Recent studies by Kelly (1999) and Kasonde-Ngandu (2003) have cited rampant peer sexual harassment of girls as a factor creating a hostile learning environment for girls and consequently resulting in poor performance. This study therefore sought to assess the prevalence and extent of sexual harassment as well as control measures and their effectiveness. Specific objectives were: to assess the extent of peer harassment in high schools; assess the relationship between group behaviour (due to peer pressure) and the prevalence of sexual harassment; investigate measures put in place by the schools to control peer sexual harassment and their effectiveness; establish the actions taken by the schools against perpetrators of sexual harassment.My study sites are Mindolo and Chamboli high schools in Kitwe. The study employed cross section survey design to collect data at one point in time. Data was collected using semi-structured interview guide, focus group discussion guide and self administered questionnaires. Random stratified sampling was used to choose participants from the population of 1340. A total of 102 girls, 20 boys and 16 teachers and administrators participated from the two schools. The District co-ordinator and the District Education Board Secretary also participated, bringing the total number of the sample to 138. Questionnaires were distributed to the girls, the teachers and administrators. 2 focus group discussions were conducted at each school one for girls and another for boys.In-depth interviews were conducted with administrators, grade teachers, school counsellors and pupils. Both qualitative and quantitative data was collected. The findings indicated that the prevalence rate to 8 counts of sexual harassment at school A was 90% and school B was 96%, giving us and average of 93%. Girls at both schools had experienced more harassment from groups of boys than individuals. In spite of the high prevalence rate only 35% of the girls perceived their school to have a lot of sexual harassment while another 35% know. Further findings revealed that 68% of the girls described their school atmosphere as welcoming and 32% said it was hostile. 47% said they experienced sexual harassment in class, 22% a few metres from the school fence while the rest (23%) mentioned corridors and school hall. Girls are not safe either in or outside their classrooms. They argued that this had a negative impact on their academic performance. The study also established that pupils do not feel free to report sexual harassment to teachers and the few who reported did not get good responses. 52% confide in their friends while 39% tell anyone. Some of the reasons for not…

▼ To be male or female, that is the question. In Drosophila melanogaster, all aspects of somatic sex determination are under the control of the binary switch gene, Sex lethal (Sxl). The primary determinant of the activity state of Sxl is the number of X-chromosomes. XX embryos develop as females, while XY embryos develop as males. Sxl is stably expressed in females via autoregulatory mRNA splicing that occurs as a consequence of a brief pulse of transcription from establishment promoter SxlPe. Female-specific expression of SxlPe requires a two X chromosome dose of the X-signal elements sisA, sc, upd and runt. Males fail to express SxlPe as they carry a single dose of the X-signal elements (XSEs). Understanding regulation of SxlPe demanded an advanced quantification tool to monitor Sxl activity in vivo. The Sxl transgene system thus developed enables the monitoring of endogenous Sxl activity, both as nascent transcripts and as mature mRNA. The key feature is that intron sequences are swapped between related species to allow allele-specific detection, by in situ hybridization, of expression from mutant and wild type transgenes side-by-side in every nucleus of the embryo. The transgene system is fully functional and helps exploit classical Drosophila genetics to monitor the biological effects of engineered Sxl mutations. Using this powerful system, I have characterized the cis interactions of the X-signal elements Sc/Da, repressor Dpn and also defined the regulatory regions of SxlPe, to discover the means by which this sensitive promoter switch operates. In defining the different regulatory units our results validated the previous findings of Estes et al., using SxlPe lacZ fusions. The 3.0kb enhancer is indeed an equivalent of the full length endogenous SxlPe enhancer and drives a robust, wild type expression. In addition, studying the promoter deletions in context of full length Sxl transgenes confirmed that the minimal, 400bp enhancer that drove low lacZ expression in Estes et al., does activate SxlPe and is both necessary and sufficient for SxlPe activation. In studying how binding site interactions impacted SxlPe regulation, my findings revealed that the loss of the single canonical E-box, Sc/Da 3 turned the SxlPe switch off, killing females. This not only led to the discovery of a prominent regulatory site critical for female-specific regulation but also challenged the previous notion that multiple Sc/Da are responsible for proper operation of SxlPe switch. Additionally, Sc/Da 3 proved that canonical E-box sites are important or even more so to SxlPe regulation, compared to the non-canonical sites. Mutating repressor Dpn binding sites triggered ectopic SxlPe expression in males and subsequently male lethality. The non-canonical site 3 had the strongest effect on SxlPe regulation than the canonical Dpn sites 1 and 2. The surprising finding is that Dpn binding site mutation is not only capable of initiating SxlPe expression from the mutant bearing transgene, but also activating the wild-type Sxl from the control… Advisors/Committee Members: Erickson, James (advisor), Lekven, Arne (committee member), Hardin, Paul (committee member), Bondos, Sarah (committee member).

▼ Strict regulatory mechanisms ensure that the cell’s genome is perfectly duplicated. In eukaryotic cells, origins of replication fire once and only once per cell cycle. In the fungus gnat Sciara coprophila, polytene chromosomes of the salivary glands undergo locus-specific DNA re-replication, leading to DNA amplification which are visible along the polytene chromosomes as DNA puffs. The Sciara genome and transcriptome resources are new, allowing exploration of Sciara differential gene expression for the first time. Validation of RNA transcripts that correspond to developmental events during salivary gland stages and life cycle stages may point towards biological factors critical to DNA amplification. More specifically, qPCR validation of transcripts that are abundant at the start of re-replication and decrease thereafter during salivary gland development may encode potential amplification factors that play a significant role in DNA amplification. Conversely, RNA transcripts that increase during the eye-spot stages through the end of larval development may encode proteins encoded by the DNA puffs. Sex-specific differential gene expression was also investigated. The X’ inversion is a large paracentric inversion on the X chromosome; the X’ inversion is only found in females. Sciara female adult containing the X’ inversion (XX’) produce only daughters, while XX female adults produce only sons. There is no Y chromosome in Sciara. Inspection of the transcriptome maps might indicate which genes resides near the X’ inversion breakpoints or span the breakpoints. Additionally, differences in transcript levels between male and female Sciara at different stages may point towards genes involved in sex determination pathways. The Sciara transcriptome data will be compared to Drosophila where the pathway for sex determination involves differential splicing of mRNA, which may be encoded by genes on autosomes, and not just on the sex chromosomes.

▼ Topics related to sexual offending and sex offenders can provoke a great deal of fear and anxiety in society. Sex offenders are a group of people who are considered to be especially unpleasant and harmful compared to other types of offenders. Over the past two decades, academic researchers and clinical professionals have developed a variety of assessment methods and treatment programmes to reduce recidivism rates of sex offenders. Public attitudes toward sex offenders are proposed to play an important role in the effectiveness of treatment for sex offenders. Thus, general community members’ attitudes have been widely studied in western countries. However, there is little cross-cultural research exploring Asian people’s attitudes toward sex offenders. The three keys purposes of this study were to examine university students’ knowledge of and attitudes toward sex offenders, explore how their knowledge and attitudes were formed, and compare the similarities and differences between New Zealand and Chinese university students. A total of 62 participants were included in this study; 29 from New Zealand and 33 from China. It was hypothesized that New Zealand university students would be more knowledgeable of and positive toward sex offenders, treatment of sex offenders and released sex offenders than Chinese university students. The results supported hypotheses that New Zealand students had greater knowledge of and positive attitudes toward sex offenders and treatment of sex offenders. However, no difference was found in people’s attitudes toward released sex offenders between two groups of students. The results also indicated that the news media was the most common source of information on sexual offending and sex offenders in both countries. However, there is a great difference in people’s attitudes toward veracity of information provided by the media between New Zealand and Chinese students. The results are considered in light of current research. Implications and future research directions are briefly discussed.
