Strata 2011 - Real world apps panel - IPUMS InternationalPete Clark
Presentation given at the O'Reilly Strata 2011 Conference as part of a panel on Real World Applications of Big Data in Education and Government. Discusses the IPUMS International project from the Minnesota Population Center, including some relevant use cases of the data.
The document discusses several topics related to genetics and human cloning:
1) It explains how dominant and recessive alleles control traits and how co-dominant alleles work.
2) It summarizes the goals and implications of the Human Genome Project, including establishing laws to prevent genetic discrimination.
3) It compares single gene disorders, chromosome abnormalities, and multifactorial disorders and how genetic counseling can help parents of children with genetic disorders.
4) It provides four arguments against human cloning related to safety issues, accelerated aging, potential psychological impacts, and viewing children as objects.
This document discusses the nature vs nurture debate in psychology and behavior genetics. It defines key concepts like chromosomes, DNA, genes and how twins and adoption studies are used to study the influences of nature and nurture. Specifically, it explains that identical twins who share 100% of their genes are more similar in traits like intelligence than fraternal twins who share about 50% of their genes, suggesting genetics plays a role. However, environment is also influential as shown by differences in identical twins and changes in adopted children's traits based on their adopted versus biological parents. Overall, both nature and nurture, along with early childhood experiences, parental influences, peers and culture all shape human behavior and development.
This document discusses the pros and cons of designer babies. It begins by explaining genetic principles like dominance, co-dominance, and how parental alleles combine in offspring. It then discusses the Human Genome Project and some of the ethical issues around genetic information. Several scientists provide opinions on both sides of the designer baby debate. The document concludes that designer babies could be acceptable to reduce genetic disorders or allow infertile couples to have children, but should not be used for non-medical reasons as it removes child autonomy and diversity.
Twin studies compare the similarity of identical twins and fraternal twins to determine the relative genetic and environmental influences on traits. Identical twins share all of their genes while fraternal twins share about half, so greater similarity between identical twins suggests a genetic influence. A twin study compares concordance rates, or how often both twins share a characteristic, between identical and fraternal twins to suggest if a trait is genetically caused. While useful, twin studies have limitations like assuming equal environments and interactions between only genes and environment rather than other factors.
The document discusses the benefits of meditation for reducing stress and anxiety. Regular meditation practice can help calm the mind and body by lowering heart rate and blood pressure. Making meditation a part of a daily routine, even if just 10-15 minutes per day, can offer improvements to mood, focus, and overall feelings of well-being over time.
This document discusses engaging students in STEM through an engineering design process. It suggests that teachers act as engineers to design hands-on activities using a 5E instructional model. Examples provided include a balloon satellite activity and challenges from NASA resources like eClips videos. The document emphasizes that today's students are "digital natives" who learn best through interactive, multimedia lessons involving real-world applications.

Young children experience significant physical, cognitive, and social-emotional development between ages 1-3. Physically, they gain improved motor skills and body proportions change rapidly. Their brains grow substantially and abilities like symbolic thought and theory of mind emerge. Socially, they begin to understand themselves as separate from others and develop gender identities. Psychodynamically, resolutions of complexes like the Oedipus help shape their relationships and sense of self.
This document discusses research on the decreasing connection between children and nature. It argues that children today spend less time outdoors in unstructured play and more time engaged with digital technology and structured activities. Some of the reasons for this disconnect include fear of both the known and unknown outdoors, the prevalence of technology, and less free time due to busy schedules and school reforms focused on standardized testing. The nature deficit has consequences for children's health, well-being, and development.
The History of Children’s Human Rights: Childism and the Impact of Coercion and Control In American Culture What
Family Scientists and Future Family Scientists Need to Know Regarding the Impact of Prejudice on Children.
In 1874 Francis Galton in his book English Men of Science: Their Nature and Nurture found
Out of 180 prominent scientists firstborns were overrepresented.
The greater chance of success for firstborns was because of their
Upbringing (In line with Victorian era understanding) : eldest sons had
A greater chance of having their education paid for by their parents,
Parents gave their eldest sons more attention as well as responsibility, and
With limited financial resources, parents might care just a little bit better for their firstborns.
All the circumstances in which a child comes into the world wealth end up making a person who they are.
Whether they’re born male or female, in war or peace,
But the birth-order effect seems to particularly enthuse and preoccupy us.
Perhaps it may be a vague interplay of personality and environment, expectations and discernment.

The document discusses solutions for teaching children the art of exercise to address rising childhood obesity rates. It recommends that children ages 2 and older participate in 60 minutes of daily moderate physical activity. The activity should be developmentally appropriate and include cardiovascular exercise and light resistance training 2-3 times per week. Effective exercise sessions are broken into age groups, include symbolic play, and provide feedback to help children develop motor skills while having fun.
The document discusses solutions for teaching children exercise and physical activity. It notes that childhood obesity rates are rising dramatically in the US. Effective exercise programs for children should include at least 60 minutes per day of moderate physical activity for children ages 2 and older. The programs should be tailored based on age, with symbolic play for ages 2-4, more complex activities for ages 4-7, and organized sports for ages 7-11. Exercise sessions should include cardiovascular exercise and some resistance training. Programs need parental and community support to be successful long-term.
The document discusses several topics related to genetics including:
- Basic principles of heredity involving dominant, recessive, and co-dominant alleles.
- The goals of the Human Genome Project including mapping genes, storing DNA data, and developing analysis tools.
- Types of genetic disorders like single gene, chromosome abnormalities, and multifactorial disorders.
- Scientific advancements in cloning extinct species like mammoths and debates around human cloning and genetic engineering.
Theories of Potential and the Creation of InequalityDanny Dorling
This document discusses theories of potential and how inequality is created. It touches on several topics:
- How individual characteristics like looks, sex, height can affect snap judgments and influence potential but societal factors matter most.
- Potential is influenced by many factors from early life through adulthood, including family circumstances, where one lives, and access to opportunities like internships.
- While some argue only a few have great potential, the document argues potential is collective and not realizing everyone's potential perpetuates inequality. Genes may provide small advantages but no "super genes"; environment and society are larger influences on one's path in life.
This study examined differences in cortical connections of the primary somatosensory cortex (S1) between prairie vole offspring that received high levels of tactile contact from parents (HC offspring) versus low levels of tactile contact (LC offspring). The study found that HC offspring had greater intrinsic connections within S1 compared to LC offspring. Additionally, HC offspring had more restricted ipsilateral connections to other areas, while LC offspring had more widespread connections to parietal and frontal cortex. Finally, LC offspring had broader callosal connections between hemispheres and more labeled callosal neurons than HC offspring. This suggests that natural variations in parental rearing styles involving tactile contact are associated with differences in cortical organization and connectivity.
- Babies are born with innate predispositions that influence what they pay attention to in the environment, especially human communication, but these are shaped by experiences like interactions with caregivers.
- Both nature (innate biases and constraints) and nurture (environmental experiences) influence child development in complex ways, with development resulting from an interaction between the two.
- Certain periods in early childhood, like ages 6-18 months, are particularly sensitive for aspects of development like attachment, language acquisition, and intellectual development. Experiences during these times can have lasting impacts.
The document discusses sleepwalking and summarizes several key points:
1) Sleepwalking occurs when there are "hypersynchronous bursts of delta activity" in the brain compared to normal sleep, along with increased blood flow to certain brain regions and decreased flow to others.
2) Several social factors can influence sleepwalking, including stress, lack of sleep, substance abuse, hormone changes, and illness.
3) Both stress and sleep loss can negatively impact physical and mental health, especially in children, by impairing cognitive function and increasing illness risk.
4) Genetic factors are involved in sleepwalking, which is more likely to be manifested in children whose parents also experienced sleepwalking as children.
Outdoor play is essential for children's healthy development of mind, body and spirit. However, American children now spend much less time playing outside and more time engaged with electronic media and indoor activities. This shift has profound health impacts, including higher rates of obesity, vitamin D deficiency, myopia, and attention issues. Regular unstructured outdoor play, in contrast, is associated with improved concentration and school performance, stronger physical fitness, and reduced risk of various diseases. Reconnecting children with nature is critical for their well-being.
This document summarizes research on early intervention for autism, focusing on joint attention and symbolic play skills. It finds that children with autism have significant impairments in joint attention, including referential looking, pointing, and showing. They also have deficits in symbolic play involving pretending, object substitution, and role play. The document reviews evidence that joint attention and symbolic play skills are predictive of later language development in typical children. It explores whether interventions can improve these core deficits in children with autism early on, when the brain is most malleable. Preliminary data is presented on an experimental intervention targeting joint attention and symbolic play skills.
Educating the other half... for research gate 3 9-2017Dr. Ron Rubenzer
This document provides an overview of left/right brain research and its implications for education. It discusses the history of brain research and methods of investigating cerebral dominance. Generally, the left hemisphere is more involved in language processing and convergent thinking while the right hemisphere handles spatial and divergent thinking. The document examines how factors like age, sex, handedness, and learning styles impact dominance. It also explores the effects of relaxation and diet on brain functioning. Implications are discussed for assessing learning styles, teaching whole-child education, and developing strategies that integrate both hemispheres. The document concludes that understanding brain research can help close the gap between left-brain teaching and the learning styles of right-brain students.
This document summarizes research showing that babies have an early sense of morality:
1) Studies found that toddlers will help or punish puppets based on whether they were "naughty" or "nice" in a puppet show.
2) Further experiments revealed that babies as young as 9 months old prefer characters that help over those that hinder, showing they distinguish between helpful and harmful actions.
3) Additional research suggests babies feel empathy and distress at others' pain, and will try to comfort those in distress, indicating compassion is innate from an early age.
This document provides an overview of several theories of child development, including psychoanalytic theory, behaviorism, social learning theory, cognitive development theory, attachment theory, and ecological systems theory. It discusses key aspects of each approach, such as Freud's concepts of the id, ego and superego; Pavlov's classical conditioning; Bandura's social learning theory; Piaget's stages of cognitive development; Bowlby's attachment theory; and Bronfenbrenner's ecological systems theory. The document emphasizes that no single theory can fully explain child development and that an integrated understanding of the influences of nature, nurture and environment are needed.
Mary Rodwell - Russian Human Genome Project Discovers our Extraterrestrial DNAExopolitics Hungary
The document summarizes research from Russian scientists that discovered DNA can be influenced and reprogrammed using words and frequencies, suggesting DNA acts as data storage and communication. It discusses how some children are exhibiting advanced abilities and behaviors that are signs of evolving group consciousness, including using unknown sign languages. It raises the possibility these children may be communicating telepathically with extraterrestrials and reprogramming their DNA through these "soul languages". The document questions whether these phenomena provide evidence that human origins and genetic heritage involve extraterrestrial intervention.
