Toward Community Coverage on Self-Screening, Diagnosis, and Help-Seeking Behavior for Both Gender Victims of Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) in a Kenyan Setting: The Development of IPV–Brief Self-Screener (IPV-BSS) Version of the WHO-IPV Instrument

Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a major public health concern. The prevalence of IPV in women in Kenya is in the range of 41% to 45% but has also been reported in 20% of men. The most widely used instrument for the screening and diagnosis of IPV is the World Health Organization–Intimate Partner Violence (WHO-IPV). However, it is lengthy for routine large-scale screening and is administered by a trained person, thus limiting the number it can reach for screening. There is therefore a need for a shorter screening version that can be self-administered to reach critical masses. Those who screen positive can then be subjected to the longer version. In addition, the short version should be culturally sensitive, can be used by either gender, can be used in busy clinical settings as the patients wait to be attended to, and can be used for large-scale community populations to raise awareness and promote help-seeking behavior. It should be applicable in similar cultural settings and is aligned to the longer version of the WHO-IPV instrument. This study aimed to develop such a tool. We administered the WHO-IPV to two groups: firstly, postnatal mothers attending postnatal clinics and secondly, men and women attending general clinics to which they had been referred. These referrals were by traditional healers (TH), faith healers (FH), and community health workers (CHW) who had been trained to screen for mental disorders using the Mental Health Gap Action Programme–Intervention Guide (mhGAP-IG) master checklist. Using factor analysis of the scores, we came up with questions that had the highest predictive value for different types of IPV diagnosis and which could therefore be used for self-screening purposes. We call the tool the Intimate Partner Violence–Brief Self-Screener (IPV-BSS; Adapted by the Africa Mental Health Research and Training Foundation from the WHO-IPV).
Introducing PASAVI and PANDVI Methods for Sugarcane Physiological Date Estimation, Using ASTER Images

Ecological studies based on field data have shown that vegetation phenology follows a relatively well-defined temporal pattern. This pattern, that is reflecting the cumulative temperature from the date of the beginning of the growth, can be represented by the use of a suitable model. Due to the spatial, temporal, and ecological complexity of these processes a simple method to monitor phenological behavior of the vegetation canopies through remote sensing has proven elusive. Employing ASTER images from different seasons, might make it possible to produce an algorithm for sugarcane phenological date estimation and as well to monitor different stages of the plant growth from cultivation to harvest. For this, a parameter, namely Physiological Date is employed. Based on the field collected data and selected ASTER Images, 133 Regions Of Interest (ROI) having different Phenological Dates (PD) in units of Degree-Days (DDs) were supplied. One hundred of these samples were taken for modeling and another 33 for testing the models. Such indices as NDVI and SAVI along with PDs for the ROIs were calculated. The correlation between these indices and PDs was investigated. This ended up with the
DebrisInterMixing-2.3: a finite volume solver for three-dimensional debris-flow simulations with two calibration parameters – part 1: model description

Abstract. Here, we present a three-dimensional fluid dynamic solver that simulates debris flows as a mixture of two fluids (a Coulomb viscoplastic model of the gravel mixed with a Herschel–Bulkley representation of the fine material suspension) in combination with an additional unmixed phase representing the air and the free surface. We link all rheological parameters to the material composition, i.e., to water content, clay content, and mineral composition, content of sand and gravel, and the gravel's friction angle; the user must specify only two free model parameters. The volume-of-fluid (VoF) approach is used to combine the mixed phase and the air phase into a single cell-averaged Navier–Stokes equation for incompressible flow, based on code adapted from standard solvers of the open-source CFD software OpenFOAM. This effectively single-phase mixture VoF method saves computational costs compared to the more sophisticated drag-force-based multiphase models. Thus, complex three-dimensional flow structures can be simulated while accounting for the pressure- and shear-rate-dependent rheology.
Plasma Sheet Velocity Measurement Techniques for the Pulsed Plasma Thruster SIMP-LEX

The velocity of the first plasma sheet was determined between the electrodes of a pulsed plasma thruster using three measurement techniques: time of flight probe, high speed camera and magnetic field probe. Further, for time of flight probe and magnetic field probe, it was possible to determine the velocity distribution along the electrodes, as the plasma sheet is accelerated. The results from all three techniques are shown, and are compared for one thruster geometry.
Smart Garbage Monitoring System for Waste Management

Piles of rubbish are one of the major problems faced by most people in Malaysia, especially those who live in flats, as the number of bins is limited and shared among all residents. It may cause pollutions, which may lead to sanitary issues and diseases. This project presents the development of a smart garbage monitoring system in order to measure waste level in the garbage bin in real-time and to alert the municipality, in particular cases, via SMS. The proposed system is consisted by the ultrasonic sensor to measure the waste level, the GSM module to send the SMS, and an Arduino Uno which controls the system operation. It supposes to generate and send the warning messages to the municipality via SMS when the waste bin is full or almost full, so the garbage can be collected immediately. Furthermore, it is expected to contribute to improving the efficiency of the solid waste disposal management.
Impact of interannual variations in aerosol particle sources on orographic precipitation over California's Central

2. The first paragraph of the introduction part tries to discuss the impact of CCN and IN on precipitation comprehensively. Again this paper discusses about the insoluble fraction of aerosol. It needs to be emphasized in the introduction as well. 3. The last paragraph of the introduction tried to outline the purpose of the manuscript, but the order of the two goals seems to be reversible. It makes better sense to me to first identify the temporal variation of sources and then find the linkage between source variation and precipitation. 4. In the second paragraph of the discussion part, there is one statement: “A modeling study of aircraft measurements from 2011 presented by Martin et al. (2014) show the presence of organic carbon residues at lower cloud levels during prefrontal storm conditions in the Sierra Nevada”. It would be a poor citation to support the presence of a chemical species using a model study, especially in a paper discussed about measurement results. It would be great to infer the significance of a measurement study by a model study though. 5. Conclusion part could be more concise and better organized. The last paragraph seems like a future study plan for a bigger project, not an indispensible part of this paper. The whole paragraph could be replaced by one sentence indicating the significance of this study in future modeling studies. The detailed discussion of how the result could be used in model studies seems to belong to the discussion session rather than the conclusion session. 6. Please check grammar inaccuracies in the manuscript. There are a few. Interactive comment on Atmos. Chem. Phys. Discuss. , 15, 931, 2015.
Do others bring out the worst in narcissists? The "Others Exist for Me" illusion

The cognitive revolution gave social and personality psychology a heuristically useful metaphor, the central processing unit (CPU) (Foddy & Kashima, chap. 1, this volume). The CPU was considered a robust, powerful, and efficient controller of mental processes-so efficient, in fact, that it was assumed to process information about the self in a virtually identical manner as information about other persons, non-human animals, and inanimate objects (Ostrom, 1984). It was this one-controller-fits -all notion that permeated theorizing on the self in the late 1970s, 1980s, and even early 1990s. The assumption asserted the relative invariance both of the self as a cognitive structure (Greenwald & Banaffl, 1989; KihIstrom et al., 1988; Rogers, Kuiper, & Kirker, 1977) and of the sources of incoming in-
The Effect of Trace Addition of Strontium and Zinc on the Creep Properties of Mg-6Sn-5Al-2Si Alloys

Mg alloys containing Mg 2 Si and Mg 2 Sn phases are promising inexpensive heat-resistant magnesium alloys for automobile engine applications. This study examined the microstructure and creep properties of Mg-6Sn-5Al-2Si alloys. The microstructures of these alloys were characterized by the presence of thermally stable Mg 2 Si and Mg 2 Sn and thermally unstable Mg 17 Al 12 precipitates. Creep tests were performed at 30, 50 and 70MPa at 150, 180 and 200°C. Trace amounts of Sr and Zn were added to these alloys to improve the mechanical properties by modifying the precipitates in the matrix. The influence of the combined addition of Sr and Zn on the microstructure and mechanical properties was also studied. Analyses of the mechanical properties indicated that Sr and Zn addition improved the tensile strength but decreased the creep resistance.
Increased levels of soluble Receptor for Advanced Glycation End-products (RAGE) are associated with a higher risk of mortality in frail older adults.

OBJECTIVE to evaluate the relationship between serum levels of the soluble Receptor for Advanced Glycation End-products (sRAGE) and mortality in frail and non-frail older adults. METHODS we studied 691 subjects (141 frail and 550 non-frail) with a median age of 75 years from two population-based cohorts, the Toledo Study of Healthy Aging and the AMI study, who were enrolled to the FRAILOMIC initiative. Multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression and Kaplan-Meier survival analysis were used to assess the relationship between baseline sRAGE and mortality. RESULTS during 6 years of follow-up 101 participants died (50 frail and 51 non-frail). Frail individuals who died had significantly higher sRAGE levels than those who survived (median [IQR]: 1563 [1015-2248] vs 1184 [870-1657] pg/ml, P = 0.006), whilst no differences were observed in the non-frail group (1262 [1056-1554] vs 1186 [919-1551] pg/ml, P = 0.19). Among frail individuals higher sRAGE levels were associated with an increased risk of death after adjustment for relevant covariates (HR = 2.72 per unit increment in ln-sRAGE, 95%CI 1.48-4.99, P = 0.001). In contrast, in non-frail individuals sRAGE showed no association with mortality. Survival curves demonstrated that among frail individuals the incidence of death was significantly higher in the top sRAGE quartile compared to the three lower quartiles (P = 0.002). Area under the ROC curve analysis demonstrated that for frail individuals, inclusion of sRAGE in the hazard model increased its predictive accuracy by ~3%. CONCLUSIONS sRAGE is an independent predictor of mortality among frail individuals. Determination of sRAGE in frail subjects could be useful for prognostic assessment and treatment stratification.
Five Levels of Sustainable Design Aesthetics Perceiving and appreciating developmental complexity

Aesthetics is a major concern for designers operating from the 'experiences perspective' on sustainable design. This paper applies human developmental theory to propose a progression of five increasingly inclusive levels, i.e., stages of sustainable design aesthetics, illustrated with built examples. New levels require increasing integration of understandings as well as representations of phenomena revealed from different sources, methods and tools. Visual aesthetics values visual experience and order, where objects always show up as objective form. Phenomenological aesthetics refers to the experiential side of process; that is, what is beautiful is how we experience something with our whole being in multiple senses, such as the aesthetic experience of riding a bicycle. Process aesthetics recognizes the 'patterns that connect,' the elegant fitness and interplay between form and process. Something is beautiful if it reveals a process and if the patterns of space help resolve the inner forces present in its contextual situation. Ecological aesthetics appreciates the beauty of things whose patterns create ecological health and are thus aligned to ecological principles and order. Evolutionary aesthetics perceives the 'order' of process. Something is beautiful if it reveals how
Edinburgh Research Explorer Population substructure, local density, and calf winter survival in red deer (Cervus elaphus)

Population substructure and the effects of scale have recently received much theoretical attention, but few studies have examined these factors in free-living populations of vertebrates. We used > 200 000 sightings of recognized females recorded over a con- tinuous 20-yr period to explore population substructure and spatial heterogeneity in red deer on the Isle of Rum, Scotland. We used hierarchical cluster analysis to group individuals together by their proximities in space, and we explored the influence of scale, considering scales ranging between the whole population and groups of one or two individuals. Intermediate scales were isolated as being the best at describing calf winter survival, the key factor in determining future population density. The most statistically explanatory scale isolated a population substructure related to vegetation, with higher local densities occurring around herb-rich Festuca-Agrostis grassland. Calves at high local density were most likely to die. Patterns of local population density varied between seasons in relation to food availability. High-resolution scales were the best descriptors of calf winter survival in summer; coarser scales were better in winter. In both summer and winter, local population density was more important than total population density in influencing calf winter survival. The effects on calf survival of local population density during the summer interacted significantly with calf sex and the mother's reproductive status. In this study, the technique of grouping animals by their proximity in space was more realistic and informative than discrete spatial divisions of the study area.
The Effect of Information on Financial Markets: A Survey

Researchers in finance have since long ago been attempting to quantify information, and assess its impact on financial markets. Recent advances in computational linguistics, natural language processing, machine learning and econometrics, along with improved data access to media articles, online discussions and social networks, have enabled researchers to apply such techniques in multiple fields of financial research. The applications include (but are not limited to): the effect of media columns and online discussions on stock prices, the relationship between media coverage and institutional trading, the effect of media during mergers and acquisitions (M&As), and initial public offerings (IPOs). The paper surveys a key part of the literature, and discusses possibilities for further research.
Evaluation of the Resistance of Mungbean Lines to Sprout Rot Caused by Pseudomonas species

Mungbean sprout rot is one of the most serious problems of the commercial mungbean sprout industry. In this study, 70 strains of mungbean sprout rot pathogens were isolated from rotten sprouts at different time intervals. The pathogenicity of the isolated pathogens was tested. The highly pathogenic strain (YV-St-033) was identified as Pseudomonas sp. by 16S rRNA gene sequencing. In phylogenetic analysis, the YV-St-033 strain was grouped with P. mosselii, P. putita, P. fluorescens, P. entomophila, and P. lecoglossicida. The results of the 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis revealed that the YV-St-033 strain shared the highest sequence identity (more than 99%) with the P. mosselii R10 strain. The mungbean lines of Yeungnam University germplasm were screened against the YV-St-033 strain. Based on the growth rate of the sprouts after 3 days of inoculation with the pathogen, the YV148 line was highly resistant to the pathogen. The remaining lines were either partially or fully infected. The highly resistant line YV 148 is suitable for future breeding programs due to their thin sprouts and fast growing nature.

Space–Time Relationship between Short-Term Exposure to Fine and Coarse Particles and Mortality in a Nationwide Analysis of Korea: A Bayesian Hierarchical Spatio-Temporal Model

Previous studies have shown an association between mortality and ambient air pollution in South Korea. However, these studies may have been subject to bias, as they lacked adjustment for spatio-temporal structures. This paper addresses this research gap by examining the association between air pollution and cause-specific mortality in South Korea between 2012 and 2015 using a two-stage Bayesian spatio-temporal model. We used 2012–2014 mortality and air pollution data for parameter estimation (i.e., model fitting) and 2015 data for model validation. Our results suggest that the relative risks of total, cardiovascular, and respiratory mortality were 1.028, 1.047, and 1.045, respectively, with every 10-µg/m3 increase in monthly PM2.5 (fine particulate matter) exposure. These findings warrant protection of populations who experience elevated ambient air pollution exposure to mitigate mortality burden in South Korea.
EFFECT OF PEER EDUCATION MODEL ON KNOWLEDGE AND SELF-EFFICACY OF CHILDREN IN THE PREVENTION OF PHYSICAL SEXUAL VIOLENCE

Background: The rate of incidence of physical assault on school children increases from year to year. Efforts to prevent child sexual violence can be done through school-based education with student empowerment. Objective: To identify the effect of education by peers on the knowledge and self-efficacy of primary school children in preventing sexual violence in Grabag Sub-district, Magelang regency. Methods: This study was a quasi experimental study with pretest and posttest non-equivalent control groups. A total of 84 school-aged children were purposively recruited from two different primary schools. Each group consisted of 42 respondents. Children's Knowledge of Abuse Questionnaire-Revised III (CKAQ-RIII) instrument was used to measure knowledge and self-efficacy questionnaire was measured for self-efficacy. Data were analyzed using Wilcoxon and Chi-square test Results: The study showed that a statistically significant difference both in the variables of knowledge (P=0.008) and self-efficacy (p=0.000) in the intervention group after given peer education treatment. Conclusion: Educational interventions by peers can improve the knowledge and self-efficacy of primary school-aged children in preventing sexual violence. Peer education can be used as an effort to prevent sexual violence in children through school empowerment programs.
EMITTANCE AND BETA FUNCTION MEASUREMENTS FOR THEMAX IV LINAC

We plan to determine transverse beam emittance and Twiss parameters for the MAX IV linac using multiplequadrupole scans. We investigate the possibility to perform such scans using matching section quadrupoles combined with beam profile measurements on fluorescent YAG screens. Beam pipe size, resolution and screen saturation limits and strengths of quadrupoles are taken into consideration. Our approach to this problem using a Kalman filter is presented.
Adaptive Modeling ofWorkforce Domain I<nowledge

Workforce development is a multidisciplinary domain in which policy, laws and regulations, social services, training and education, and information technology and systems are heavily involved. It is essential to have a semantic base accepted by the workforce development community for knowledge sharing and exchange. This paper describes how such a semantic base-the Workforce Open Knowledge Exchange (WOKE) Ontology-was built by using the adaptive modeling approach. The focus of this paper is to address questions such as how ontology designers should extract and model concepts obtained from different sources and what methodologies are useful along the steps of ontology development. The paper proposes a methodology framework "adaptive modeling" and explains the methodology through examples and some lessons learned from the process of developing the WOKE ontology.
Enrichment of G4DNA and a Large Inverted Repeat Coincide in the Mitochondrial Genomes of Termitomyces

Abstract Mitochondria retain their own genome, a hallmark of their bacterial ancestry. Mitochondrial genomes (mtDNA) are highly diverse in size, shape, and structure, despite their conserved function across most eukaryotes. Exploring extreme cases of mtDNA architecture can yield important information on fundamental aspects of genome biology. We discovered that the mitochondrial genomes of a basidiomycete fungus (Termitomyces spp.) contain an inverted repeat (IR), a duplicated region half the size of the complete genome. In addition, we found an abundance of sequences capable of forming G-quadruplexes (G4DNA); structures that can disrupt the double helical formation of DNA. G4DNA is implicated in replication fork stalling, double-stranded breaks, altered gene expression, recombination, and other effects. To determine whether this occurrence of IR and G4DNA was correlated within the genus Termitomyces, we reconstructed the mitochondrial genomes of 11 additional species including representatives of several closely related genera. We show that the mtDNA of all sampled species of Termitomyces and its sister group, represented by the species Tephrocybe rancida and Blastosporella zonata, are characterized by a large IR and enrichment of G4DNA. To determine whether high mitochondrial G4DNA content is common in fungi, we conducted the first broad survey of G4DNA content in fungal mtDNA, revealing it to be a highly variable trait. The results of this study provide important direction for future research on the function and evolution of G4DNA and organellar IRs.
Effect of stabilizers on stiffness modulus of soil layers: A review

Subgrade layer has a significant contribution in the pavement structure, and the quality of this layer has a great impact on the subsequent pavement design. Pavement design guide as specified in the AASHTO (2002), incorporates engineering properties of unbound and stabilized subgrade soils, since in many cases fatigue or rutting failure in pavements are due to insufficient stiffness modulus in soil layers. Subgrade materials are characterized by common engineering properties including stiffness and strength. Appropriate treatment using different additives is considered an effective way to achieve a more durable pavement structure and also to increase the stiffness modulus. In this paper, the importance of using proper stiffness for underlying layers and the effects of common additives such as lime, cement and fly ash on improving the strength and stiffness modulus of soil layers are highlighted. Key words: Stiffness modulus, cementitious stabilization, soil properties.
