“My child would never do that”: Caregiver-child relationships regarding openness and communication about sexuality education in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa

Abstract The study focuses on caregivers’ personal reasons for not having openness in communication regarding sexuality education messages with their children. Qualitative semi-structured focus group discussions with six caregivers per school from four different socio-economic status schools in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, were conducted and analyzed using Thematic Content Analysis. Caregivers’ lack of self-confidence as a credible source of sexuality education, the powerlessness they feel and denial that their children could be sexually active; prevent them from talking to their children regarding this. The school should include caregivers in the sexuality education program to increase caregivers’ knowledge and skill in caregiver-child communication.

Feature Characterization in Some Weighted Directed Networks

The paper studies the time evolution of weighted directed networks by evaluating some of their fundamental features along time. The main concepts are illustrated by analyzing the evolution of a network which represents the call flow between the towers of a telephone operator in Senegal. Different time scales (hour, day, week, month) are considered to compute the evolution of features in order to characterize properties which may follow cyclic behaviors. A joint characterization of the features is also performed via a paired correlation analysis which also shows to be sensitive to time scales, suggesting different seasonal behaviors in the communication patterns.

PROTOCOL: Evidence and gap map protocol: Understanding pathways between agriculture and nutrition: An evidence and gap map of tools, metrics and methods developed and applied in the last 10 years

The global food price crises of 2007–2008 and 2010–2011 drew attention to the need for addressing the underlying determinants of malnutrition in low‐ and middle‐income countries (LMICs; Brinkman, de Pee, Sanogo, Subran, & Bloem, 2010; Webb, 2010). Specifically, as the primary source of food and income in LMICs, agriculture received renewed focus. Making agriculture work for nutrition—nutrition‐sensitive agriculture—has climbed the international development agenda (Ruel, Alderman, & Maternal and Child Nutrition Study Group, 2013). More recently, given the sharp increase in diet‐related chronic diseases underpinned by overweight and obesity in LMICs and the threats of climate change to diets, attention has expanded to leverage food systems to optimize nutrition, health and environmental outcomes (Johnston, Fanzo, & Cogill, 2014). Donors, researchers and implementers mobilized research agendas to invest in understanding how to strengthen agriculture and food systems to realize nutrition outcomes sustainably. Progress in this field in the last decade included three key developments:

A method of sharing Koorie narratives

I have had many contacts with people in the Koorie community for more than thirty years. As well as much personal involvement I have had contact as a school teacher and also as part of a public library service staff. Hence, I have established valuable contacts with people in the local Koorie community. I intend to build on the project which I started as part of a public library service staff. This project involved working with members of the local Koorie community in Gippsland. Stories presented by a range of people were recorded. The Chief Librarian initiated the exercise claiming that valuable information which was presently available would be lost forever if not recorded very soon. The result was a project entitled “Woor-dungin Nambur: Sharing Talk”. There is still much important work that could still be undertaken to extend the “Woor-dungin Nambur” project. The relevant research activity in progress involves developing audio recordings of local Koorie narratives. In this research project, I will be working collaboratively with Indigenous community members to: • Facilitate the recording of any available narratives of current issues, recent history and dreamtime stories from the Gippsland region, • Provide information for the general public associated with the analysis of local Gunnai/Kurnai stories, • Provide the opportunity for participants to join a suitable committee to help find the best direction of the project and also to assist with preferable research methods. By using Participatory Action Research (PAR) methodology the project attempts to achieve full benefit of available data. The research approach known as Community Based Participatory Research (CBPR) is adopted with the aim of including all participants in the research process providing participants with power to select which narratives should be saved. The adoption of PAR also attempts to recognise cultural aspects of the participant group. This method seeks the guidance of the research participants by regular consultations with appropriate people.
Exploring the dimensions of bed and breakfast (B&B) visitors’ experiences

ABSTRACT With the rapid development of the experience economy and sharing economy, bed and breakfast (B&B) accommodation, favoured by more and more tourists, has become an indispensable component of tourism. Gaining knowledge of the experiential features of tourist activities at B&Bs is paramount for B&B operators to understand and satisfy tourists’ wide-ranging needs. With this concern in mind, the purpose of this study was to develop a multiple-item scale to measure tourists’ experiences of staying at B&Bs. We developed an experiential scale with 24 embedded items in six dimensions: entertainment, aesthetics, escapism, education, relationship development, and folk custom. The data support this dimensional structure, as well as its internal consistency and validity. This research bridges the gap in measuring the experiential stay at B&B and puts forward directions for future research. The findings offer important practical implications for B&B operations in relation to experiential product development and marketing.
Developing an online continuing professional development course for busy healthcare professionals: 12 tips for course developers

This article was migrated. The article was marked as recommended. Health professionals are finding it increasingly hard to attend Continuing Professional Development (CPD) that involve time away from work. Short CPD courses offered as eLearning can help meet the flexible needs of these busy professionals. Framework and guidelines for developing these courses is lacking. This article aims to provide readers with practical advice based on the author’s personal experiences and the literature available to help course developers construct an engaging course for this specific audience. Tips are offered from the initial scoping exercise, to developing the course, carefully considering the specific differentiation and technical support that is required for developing online learning activities and assessments compared to face to face CPD courses for a diverse range of learners.
Human control of mobile robots using hand gestures

The field of autonomous systems is receiving a great attention from both academia and industry in the recent years. Together with the advances in artificial intelligence (AI) and signal processing, this has led to dreams of motion controlled autonomous vehicles and robots. This bachelor’s thesis aims at the implementation of a prototype for human control of mobile robots using gesture recognition via radar. The project paves the way toward more complex projects in facilitating applications such as autonomous warehouses and delivery systems. In this project, we use a radar for recognizing hand gestures, and for localizing a mobile robot. A machine learning algorithm is used to classify the gestures. The robot is supposed to follow the control commands manually issued by the operator, and drive autonomously from a starting point to a destination. Although this project considers a basic implementation as a proof of concept, it is scalable and flexible to accommodate more robots and more complex tasks.
Solving Partially Observable Stochastic Games with Public Observations

In many real-world problems, there is a dynamic interaction between competitive agents. Partially observable stochastic games (POSGs) are among the most general formal models that capture such dynamic scenarios. The model captures stochastic events, partial information of players about the environment, and the scenario does not have a fixed horizon. Solving POSGs in the most general setting is intractable.Therefore, the research has been focused on subclasses of POSGs that have a value of the game and admit designing (approximate) optimal algorithms. We propose such a subclass for two-player zero-sum games with discounted-sum objective function—POSGs with public observations (POPOSGs)—where each player is able to reconstruct beliefs of the other player over the unobserved states. Our results include: (1) theoretical analysis of PO-POSGs and their value functions showing convexity (concavity) in beliefs of maximizing (minimizing) player, (2) a novel algorithm for approximating the value of the game, and (3) a practical demonstration of scalability of our algorithm. Experimental results show that our algorithm can closely approximate the value of non-trivial games with hundreds of states.
Enabling smart behavior through automatic service composition for Internet of Things–based Smart Homes

This article presents an Internet of Things architecture for Smart Homes that specifically targets service composition and reconfiguration as enablers for the actuation and smart behavior capabilities. To this end, the main challenge that has to be addressed is the support to a seamless integration, composition, and reconfiguration of Internet of Things objects. Two enabling technologies are proposed here: a planning strategy based on a common-sense reasoning approach for service composition and a virtual-network protocol for Inter-Domain Messaging. The planner will identify the services that, properly connected, will cater for arisen, and therefore, unexpected needs. The virtual-network protocol will provide the support for this interconnection to take place in a transparent and orthogonal manner. This is particularly important to enable autonomous systems to instantiate composite services. To demonstrate the capabilities of the resulting framework, two use cases are presented, which under real circumstances demonstrate the potential of the proposed approach.
Rashba Triggered Electronic and Optical Properties Tuning in Mixed Cation–Mixed Halide Hybrid Perovskites

The inherent spin–orbit coupling (SOC) effect in non-centrosymmetric crystal structure has laid the foundation of Rashba splitting phenomena. This Rashba splitting directly governs the charge carrier recombination, which eventually controls the carrier lifetime and diffusion length and therefore the solar cell efficiency for such hybrid perovskite materials. In this work, we have performed a rigorous structural search prediction of the mixed cation–mixed halide hybrid perovskites FA0.83MA0. 17Pb(I0.83Br0.17)3 and FA0.875MA0. 125Pb(I0.875Br0.125)3, which are the two nearest neighbor structures of record efficiency (22.1%) holder FA0.85MA0. 15Pb(I0.85Br0.15)3 in the structural composition phase space. We have found the prediction routes for a structural search such as the mixed perovskite structure govern the Rashba splitting energy value, depending on whether it has been predicted from FPI (FAPbI3) or MPB (MAPbBr3) as parent structure, which are leading to the mixed phase FA0.83MA0. 17Pb(I0.83Br0.17)3 and FA0.
Two-dimensional nanotriangle and nanoring arrays on silicon wafer

Gold and tungsten were deposited on silicon wafer and/or glass substrates by using random incidence sputtering deposition and thermal vapor deposition techniques. Two-dimensional tungsten nanotriangle and gold nanoring arrays were obtained on the silicon wafer substrate and examined using scanning electron microscope and atomic force microscope analysis. The size of the equal tungsten nanotriangles is within 100 nm per side and 210 nm apart from each other. The size of gold nanorings is 220 nm diameter, 40 nm wide, 10 nm thick, and 560 nm apart from each other. No nanorings were found on the glass substrate. Mechanisms for the formation of nanoring arrays are discussed.
Construction of a nomogram for the prediction of prognosis in patients with resectable gastric cancer undergoing fewer than sixteen lymph node biopsies

Background Lymph node metastases evaluation is important for assessing gastric cancer prognosis. In patients not undergoing adequate lymph node biopsy, lymph node stage migration occurs with the use of the existing staging system. This study established a prediction model to improve prognostication in patients undergoing fewer than 16 lymph nodes biopsy. Patients and methods In total, 3036 eligible patients from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program database were evaluated. They were randomized into development and validation sets in a 1:1 ratio (n=1520 and 1516, respectively). To avoid model overfitting and loss of important factors, prognostic factors related to overall survival (OS) were screened according to the Akaike information criterion. The nomogram was assessed using discrimination and consistency tests in the development and validation sets; the concordance index (C-index), calibration curves, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were also evaluated. Comparison with the 7th American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system was based on Kaplan–Meier curves, ROC, risk stratification, and decision curve analysis (DCA). Results Age, race, degree of differentiation, invasion depth, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and lymph node ratio were independent prognostic factors in OS. C-indices of the development and validation sets were 0.759 (95% CI: 0.741–0.777) and 0.742 (95% CI: 0.713–0.771), respectively; calibration curves were approximately 45° diagonal, indicating good predictive ability of the nomogram. In contrast to the 7th AJCC staging system, the Kaplan–Meier curves and risk stratification of the nomogram had better discrimination ability, the ROC curves of the nomogram achieved more predictive accuracy, and the DCA indicated that the nomogram conferred higher net benefit. Conclusion Our constructed nomogram predicts the prognosis of patients with resectable gastric cancer undergoing biopsy of fewer than 16 lymph nodes more precisely and has better clinical applicability than the 7th AJCC staging system.
Non-GAAP earnings metrics and its effect on sell-side analysts’ earnings forecasts

This thesis looks at the relation between non-GAAP earnings metrics and several analyst attributes. These analyst attributes are analyst following, analysts’ earnings forecast accuracy and dispersion. Furthermore, I make a distinction between the informative and misleading motive for disclosing non-GAAP earnings metrics. I find that analyst following is higher for firms that disclose non-GAAP earnings metrics, but accuracy of the analysts’ earnings forecasts is lower. When zooming in on the incentive, I find that analyst following is lower for firms that disclose informative non-GAAP earnings metrics. Based on these findings, it seems that analysts are not able to fully incorporate the motive of firms for disclosing nonGAAP earnings metrics.
Intersectionality of Lesbian, Gay, and Bisexual International Students: Impact of Perceived Experiences on Campus Engagement

Aim/Purpose: While there are studies that examine the experience of LGB or international students, we are not aware of any study that examines both intersectionalities. In this study, we attempt to be the first to examine the experiences of international LGB students and the resources they utilize on campuses. Background: This research provides an understanding of how this population of students interact with the campus environment, how they perceive the campus climate, and what impact their interaction and perceptions have on their performance and overall outcomes. Methodology: This narrative qualitative research study was guided by the unifying model of sexual identity development and the model of multiple dimensions of identity. This study conducted semi-structured interviews with eleven participants from two states to attain a deeper insight and perspective on the experiences of LGB International students. Contribution: With this population of students being understudied in the larger body of literature, the result of this research will allow for institutional staff and future researchers to gain additional insight into the experiences and outcomes of international students that identify as a member of the LGB community. Findings: The respondents indicated a mixture of experiences based on their sexual orientation and national identity. Emerging themes for RQ1 were Fear, Isolation, and Openness. Respondents expressed the utilization of a wide variety of resources from campus based on online resources. Emerging themes for RQ2 were Campus Based Resources, Online Resources, and Negative Experiences. Recommendations for Practitioners: Based on these findings, institutions of higher education can promote the resources available to students within these populations. Institutions should be intentional in supporting the spiritual and religious needs of international LGBTQIA students to aid in the holistic development of their students. Recommendation for Researchers: It is recommended for researchers to explore how international students who identify as LGBTQIA students experience community colleges. Future Research: Future research should explore how staff, administrators, and faculty attempt to support students from regions of the world that are very conservative as they recruit students from those regions.
A Framework for Predicting Personalized Product Packages

A package is to sell more than one product together to consumers in a single order and price, which is offered to customers for various purposes, like discount offer, to increase sales of new and old products. Most often, it is very hard for customers discovering their need among billion of products by browsing a lot of menus. Since, consumers always do not have enough time to add items to the basket and that is why, they expect to buy with a single click. It has been found that the current package building technologies are not enough to fulfill e-commerce marketers’ demand because these are not able to hold customers tightly in the every step of purchase life cycle. Meanwhile, shopping merchants invest more than billion dollars to make right tools to sell packages by encouraging customers. On the other hand, in the existing bundle methods where users are forced to buy extra products, though which are not their exact needs. So, this is very high time offering the personalized packages. Still, there many aspects such as price, brand, size and etc. can be considered for making real time and dynamic package based on individual user’s preferences. In this paper, we propose a package building design framework based on the interest of the each consumer. The initial packages are made by incorporating the clickstream, purchase history, products rating and etc. as well as the contextual data (such as time, place and etc.) can be used to predict and recommend a more relevant number of packages. Later on, the early package has been changed by the final order during the different stages of purchase life cycle since in different steps customer mind may change. Our motivation to alleviate the obligatory buying the unnecessary products with a package as well as user friendly packages are offered to customers, which also help them to save browsing time to add products to the online shopping cart.
A Steganography Technique Based on the Huffman Codes and PM1 Technique

In this age of technology, everyday huge amount of data is transferred across the network. The higher the amount of data transmission the larger the amount of security is needed. In this scenario security of the data stands as the basic need and it needs to be addressed and solved first. In this paper combination of a standard table and Plus minus 1 (PM1) steganography using Genetic Algorithm (GA) is proposed which would not only allow transmission of a large amount of data but would also eliminate the need of embedding the look-up table along with the image.
The “Readiness” of Timor-Leste: Narratives about the Admission Procedure to ASEAN

This article is based on an empirical research with an inductive approach about the admission of Timor-Leste (TL) to Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). We examined a corpus of international newspapers (n = 48) which forms a debate over this case on the Internet. The articles are reproduced in English and are currently the most representative form of debating the membership delay which takes place since 2011. Throughout the observation of our gathered data, we discovered one main narrative that is reproduced by several authors: The Readiness of TL to join the Southeast Asian grouping. Hence, built through three rationalities (preparedness, ambivalence, and conflict), the Narrative of Readiness reveals a common sense among the agents. Built on two constructs, scattered agents and International Online Media, we propose an eventual International Imagined Community in the making. This article raises the possibility that TL plays a test role in the identity of ASEAN, even though the delay of the TL admission to ASEAN still raises further questions.
