Isomorphism and homomorphism appear throughout abstract algebra, yet how algebraists characterize these concepts, especially homomorphism, remains understudied. Based on interviews with nine research-active mathematicians, we highlight new sameness-based conceptual metaphors and three new clusters of metaphors: sameness/formal definition, changing…

Emotion dysregulation is a common social functioning deficit in children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Little is known about how teachers rate irritability in school-aged children with ADHD. We examined irritability and disruptive behaviour in clinic-referred school-aged children (n = 145) with ADHD. Children in this…

School-Wide Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports is a framework that aims to improve school culture and climate, students' behavior and attendance.
