A study cоmpаred аn extended intervаl between zоlendrоnic acid infusions for preventing skeletal lesions among patients with cancer to the standard of care. The standard of care is zolendronic acid every 4 weeks and the experimental extended interval is zolendronic acid every 12 weeks. The NI margin comparing the two intervals is an absolute difference of 0.28% in the skeletal morbidity rate (SMR). Which of the following is the null hypothesis for this study?

Reading Comprehension Questions What is the main idea of this essay? In paragraph 9, Dijk states, “You will certainly be judged after a mishap or transgression, but the main finding here is that a blush softens others’ judgments.” Explain what this quotation means and how it relates to the author’s main idea. Provide your own example of how someone might react when experiencing social anxiety. Hold Your Head Up. A Blush Just Shows You Care. By Benedict Carey As if splitting a pair of pants, telling a transparent lie or mispronouncing the word “epitome” weren’t humiliation enough, nature has provided humans, especially the fair-skinned kind, with a built-in scarlet letter. Jane Austen heroines may pink endearingly at a subtle breach in manners; millions more glow like a lava lamp in what feels like a public disrobing: the face, suddenly buck-naked. People who become severely anxious in social situations often swear that the blush itself is the source of their problems, not a symptom. Doctors may even perform surgery — severing a portion of the sympathetic nerve chain, which runs down the back — to take the red out. Yet even this operation usually doesn’t short-circuit the system entirely, because a blush is far more than a stigmata of embarrassment. It is a crucial signal in social interactions — one that functions more often to smooth over betrayals and blunders than to amplify them. In a series of recent studies, psychologists have found that reddening cheeks soften others’ judgments of bad or clumsy behavior, and help to strengthen social bonds rather that strain them. If nothing else, the new findings should take some of the personal sting out of the facial fire shower when it inevitably hits. “We are this hyper-social species that settles conflicts and misunderstandings face to face, and we need a way to repair daily betrayals and transgressions quickly,” said Dacher Keltner, a psychologist at the University of California, Berkeley, and the author of “Born to Be Good: The Science of a Meaningful Life” (Norton, 2009). “A blush happens in two or three seconds and says, ‘I care; I know I violated the social contract.’ ” For decades, research on blushing was itself a kind of embarrassment. In 1872, in “The Expressions of the Emotions in Man and Animals,” Charles Darwin described blushing as “the most peculiar and most human of all expressions.” Other primates may redden during sex, but to Darwin the blush mainly reflected the human capacity for imagining others’ perceptions. The expression is so variable that later researchers thought it might reflect cultural or personal differences. But the most fundamental dimension of a blush may be its effect on other people. In a study for the current issue of the journal Emotion, Dutch researchers had 66 participants read vignettes about people who were caught in some transgression, like cheating on a spouse, and after each one study a photograph of the offender. The participants saw the person wearing one of four expressions: neutral; neutral colored by a blush; shame (head down, gaze averted); or shame colored by a blush. On scales from 0 to 100, they rated how sympathetic and trustworthy they thought the person was. A blush — a slight but not obvious coloring in the cheeks — significantly improved their judgment of the offender, whether the underlying expression was neutral or downcast. The same pattern emerged in judgments of mishaps, like spilling coffee in a stranger’s lap. “You will certainly be judged after a mishap or transgression, but the main finding here is that a blush softens others’ judgments,” said the lead author, Corine Dijk, a psychologist at the University of Amsterdam, in a phone interview. Her co-authors were Peter J. de Jong of the University of Groningen and Madelon L. Peters of Maastricht University. In groups that tease their members, both to humble them and to include them, blushing appears to be both payoff and penalty. In a 2002 paper that contrasts teasing and bullying, an act of aggressive isolation, Dr. Keltner and colleagues from Berkeley discuss one experiment in which members of a fraternity at the University of Wisconsin came into his lab, four at a time, to tease one another, using barbed nicknames. Each group included two senior house members and two recent pledges. The young men ripped each other with abandon, calling each other “little impotent,” “heifer fetcher” and “another drunk,” among many other names that cannot be printed. The researchers carefully recorded the interactions and measured how well individuals got along by the end. The newer members were all but strangers to the more senior ones when the study began. “It was a subtle effect, but we found that the frequency of blushing predicted how well these guys were getting along at the end,” Dr. Keltner said. Blushing seemed to accelerate the formation of a possible friendship rather than delay it. People tease each other in part to avoid confrontations, he added, and because a blush is both obvious and hard to fake, it signals that the blusher cares about the relationship. Happy couples tease each other skillfully and continually; so do good friends. “Blushing is the fulcrum on which these interactions turn,” Dr. Keltner said. “And when it appears, hostility usually subsides.” On first dates, or in truly hostile standoffs, the person who holds his or her ground despite a blush exhibits a kind of emotional courage without speaking a word or making a move. None of which is to say that a blush is always helpful. In a recent paper, “In Praise of Blushing,” W. Ray Crozier, a professor of psychology at the University of East Anglia in Britain, concludes that it “can serve a useful social function; alternatively it can create a social predicament and be a source of shame or embarrassment for the blusher.” Anyone who has had to stand up to a bully and blushed badly knows that the expression can look like a toreador’s cape. Still, people who struggle with 'social anxiety' tend to see only the downside of their blush, said Jerilyn Ross, director of the Ross Center for Anxiety and Related Disorders in Washington and the author of “One Less Thing to Worry About” (Ballantine, 2009). “If I were to explain to them that a blush can be endearing, they would only get angry and say I didn’t understand,” Dr. Ross said. “I would risk losing my relationship with them.” In therapy, she continued, she tries to get such people to focus their attention on the conversation, on the interaction they’re having, rather than the warmth in their face — to say, “I blush when I’m anxious; what does that mean?” If recent research is any guide, it means they care about what’s happening around them. And that can be a lot better, psychologists agree, than not caring.
