Prompt-facilitated learning: The development of unprompted memory integration and subsequent self-derivation
What are the boundaries that limit expansion of semantic knowledge across development? One striking contender is the necessity of a prompt to integrate and self-generate new information. The present research was an investigation of 7–9-year-olds’ and 18–22-year-olds’ prompted versus unprompted memory integration and subsequent self-derivation of new knowledge. Children and adults (Experiments 1 and 2, respectively) were exposed to sets of novel, true facts that could be integrated to self-derive new knowledge. On some trials they were prompted to integrate and self-derive and on others they were not. Both children and young adults capitalized more effectively on prompted opportunities to self-derive compared with unprompted opportunities, and the mechanism of this difference in performance likely underlies memory integration. Thus, the current work illustrates the importance of the conditions under which memory integration occurs, regardless of age. Results also offer evidence consistent with developmental change in unprompted integration and self-derivation performance, such that children and adults may engage the process of self-derivation differently. This work is particularly important in highlighting the necessity of appropriate scaffolding to foster successful learning opportunities and understanding the conditions under which semantic knowledge is accumulated.

Autumn Migration to Higher Latitudes in Seminole Bats (Lasiurus seminolus) Redefines Seasonal Ranges: Evidence From Stable Isotopes and Fatality Data From Wind Energy Facilities
The linkages between individual migrations and population‐level distributions are essential for understanding ecological dynamics. Here we describe how an unconventional migratory strategy in the Seminole bat (Lasiurus seminolus) results in an extended autumn range, both north and west of its currently described range. Awareness of this redefined distribution will likely reduce possible misidentification with a similar species, the eastern red bat (L. borealis), during any form of monitoring for purposes of conservation and management efforts. At wind energy facilities during the autumn seasons of 2019–2022 in Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, and Maryland, we discovered 49 Seminole bat carcasses as fatalities in autumn. All were outside of the species' currently described range in the southeastern United States. For 10 carcasses, we confirmed species identification using molecular techniques. We then modeled the geographic origins of viable fur samples from 17 carcasses using stable hydrogen isotope analysis. Finally, we synthesized current and historical records of the species to redefine seasonal range boundaries. Genetic analysis confirmed that carcasses were Seminole bats, and stable isotope analysis revealed that all bats sampled had migrated north between summer and autumn, leaving the previously defined species range. Our seasonally explicit range delineation for Seminole bats shows that this species expands its range northward in summer and again expands its range in autumn to the north and west to a region that is 1.3 million km2 larger than previously recognized. Northward migration in autumn, and the corresponding range extension, were previously undetected in Seminole bats. Our findings also demonstrate that this species, like its congeners, is susceptible to wind turbine fatality. Although the breadth of conservation risk is unknown, this study highlights the importance of obtaining an accurate understanding of migratory movements and the distribution of species to aid in species identification, management, and conservation. We found 49 Seminole bats (Lasiurus seminolus) hundreds of kilometers outside of their currently accepted range boundary in autumn. Using a combination of genetic and molecular techniques, we determined that individuals had migrated north from the interior of their core range to well outside of the range. The abundance and consistency in these observations support the redefinition of seasonal range boundaries.

Kiki Smith : procession
Artist Kiki Smith has produced an astoundingly varied body of work that deals powerfully with the political, social, philosophical, and spiritual aspects of human nature-especially in the way they relate to women. Smith's earlier works reflect the social discourse of the 1980s, particularly focusing on death and the AIDS epidemic. She later turned to issues of feminism, abortion rights, and animal rights. This comprehensive book provides an overview of Smith's artistic development, focusing on her sculpture, from the early 1980s to the present day. Images of her radical, unflinching work reveal an artist who is not afraid to explore subjects such as the human body or a society's archetypes. Filled with the beauty, vitality, and charm that are the hallmarks of Kiki Smith's art, this book urges viewers to think and feel.

Exploring Self-Care, Anxiety, Depression, and the Gender Gap in the Software Engineering Pipeline
Software engineers may experience burnout, which is often caused by the anxieties and stresses of the workplace. Understanding the well-being and resilience practices of software engineers and evaluating their knowledge of mental health is one factor to understand our current, diverse, multi-generational workplaces. Here, we present preliminary results of a study examining the self-care practices of software engineers, a general overview of the state of mental health of software engineers, and correlations between expressions of mental health and demographic factors. Among 224 respondents, positive correlations between imposter syndrome and happiness, anxiety, and depression were identified. We also identified negative correlations between mental health literacy and imposter syndrome, happiness, anxiety, and depression. Well-being had a positive correlation with self-efficacy, as well as with happiness. We also present the Gender Gap in mental health and our findings in relation to that construct. Our findings suggest increasing mental health support services.

Larry Crowne
\"An amiable Navy veteran loses his comfortable job at a big-box store, enrolls in community college, and seeks to reinvent himself while falling for his apathetic speech professor in this romantic comedy re-teaming Academy Award-winning Charlie Wilson's War co-stars Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts. Larry Crowne (Hanks) has just been downsized. The unfortunate victim of a failing economy, Larry decides that his best option to avoid becoming idle is to take some classes at his local community college. In no time, Larry befriends a colorful group of moped-obsessed outcasts on the road to self-improvement, and begins working to sharpen his communication skills in a public speaking class taught by Mercedes Tainot (Roberts). Disenchanted with her job and bored in her marriage, Mercedes has begun to feel as if she's missing out on life. But whenever she's with Larry, all of her problems seem to disappear. Now, just as Larry and Mercedes are feeling as if their lives have been put on hold, they both discover that fate sometimes has a way of giving us exactly what we need, at precisely the right time\"--Allmovie.com, December 27, 2019.

Guest editorial: Social informatics and designing for social good
“Designing for social good” has a strong interest in understanding how information and technology professionals explore issues in theory and practice through theory development, working groups and working in collaboration with users. [...]Lihle and Kalisz discuss strategic implementation of digital transformation as an approach to organizational resilience in their paper “Establishing organizational resilience through developing a strategic framework for digital transformation.” [...]the authors present a framework that can be applied to many organizational contexts.
