The role of sex and family status on the relationship between exposition to violence and child-to-parent violence

The objective of this study was to analyze the relationship of the exposition to violence and justification of violence with child-to-parent violence (CPV) towards father and mother. Sample comprised 748 high school students (413 male and 335 female), between 13 and 20 years old. Childto-Parent Aggression Questionnaire (CPAQ) was employed to assess CPV. Exposition to violence in high school, home, street and television was assessed using the Violence Exposure Questionnaire (VEQ), whereas expostion to violence in videogames was assessed through a questionnaire prepared by the authors. Justification of violence was analyzed using the Justification of Violence subscale of the Irrational Beliefs Scale for Adolescents (ECIA). Regarding violence towards mother, results showed that, in the case of female participants, there was a significant relationship with exposition to violence at street, home and an inverse relationship with videogames, as well as with violence justification, whereas in the case of male participants there was a significant relationship with the same variables except violence in videogames. Converserly, with regard to violence towards father, there was a significant relationships with violence at home and violence justification in the case of females, as well as with violence at home and street and violence justification in the case of male participants. With regard to the role of the type of family, in the case of non-divorced families there was a significant relationship with exposition to violence at street, home and an inverse relationship with videogames, as well as with violence justification, whereas in the case of divorced families the only significant variable was violence justification. Finally, with regard to violence towards father, there was a significant relationships with violence at high school, street and home, along with violence justificacion in the case of non-divorced families, as well as violence at street and violence justification in the case of divorced families. The present study shows the role of participant sex and family status the relationship of exposition to violence and violence justification with CPV violence. These findings indicate the importance of taking into account those variables in preventing violence towards parents.
Cononsolvency of water/methanol mixtures for PNIPAM and PS-b-PNIPAM: pathway of aggregate formation investigated using time-resolved SANS

We investigate the cononsolvency effect of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) in mixtures of water and methanol. Two systems are studied: micellar solutions of polystyrene-b-poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PS-b-PNIPAM) diblock copolymers and, as a reference, solutions of PNIPAM homopolymers, both at a concentration of 20 mg/mL in D2O. Using a stopped-flow instrument, fully deuterated methanol was rapidly added to these solutions at volume fractions between 10 and 20%. Time-resolved turbidimetry revealed aggregate formation within 10–100 s. The structural changes on mesoscopic length scales were followed by time-resolved small-angle neutron scattering (TR-SANS) with a time resolution of 0.1 s. In both systems, the pathway of the aggregation depends on the content of deuterated methanol; however, it is fundamentally different for homopolymer and diblock copolymer solutions: In the former, very large aggregates (>150 nm) are formed within the dead time of the setup, and a concentration gradient appears at the.
Investigation of the Geochemical Composition and Paleo-Depositional Environment of Ubo and Ikpeshi Marble Deposit, Southwestern Nigeria: A Comparative Study

The marble deposits at Ubo and Ikpeshi areas of Edo state, Southwestern Nigeria, were studied in order to determine the major elements and the paleo-depositional environment of the original sediments using standard methods. Results obtained using test of difference between Ubo and Ikpeshi marbles showed that CaO (51.977±0.922 & 54.726±0.23), MgO (3.034±0.829 & 0.499±0.115), Na2O (1.7±0.73 & 0.024±0.008), MgCO3 (6.337±1.734 & 1.034±0.238), Cu (24.589±0.692 & 27.447±0.711), Ni (23.907±0.854 & 30.979±0.494), all for Ubo and Ikpeshi respectively; with Ni showing highest significance with P<0.01. The Ubo marble deposit occurs as a lensoid body within the younger metasedimentary sequence. The major element composition reveal a mean chemical composition of CaO (51.97 and 54.73 %), MgO (3.0 and 0.49 %), SiO2 (0.74 and 0.70%), K2O (0.08 and 0.04%), Na2O (1.70 and 0.02%), Al2O3 (0.75 and 0.25%), Fe2O3 (0.34 and 0.25%), and Loss on Ignition L.O. I (43.34 and 49.31%) in Ubo and Ikpeshi marbles respectively, which is indicative that the marble samples were all calcitic. The low values of the total alkali content in the marble samples from the two locations indicate that the environment of deposition of the original carbonate materials that metamorphosed into marbles from both locations must have been a shallow, highly saline environment with probably little influx of salty brine water in the basin. Silica was used as an abscissa in these plots because it shows substantial variations among the marbles with most of the linear relationship between silica and the various oxides showing negative correlation, this probably reflects the admixture of the carbonates with chert. The trend of the plots of Na2O + K2O vs. SiO2 for the marbles from both locations show a variation in the salinity.

AN EXAMINATION OF THERAPEUTIC CHANGE, SYMPTOMOLOGY, AND DEFENSE STYLE AS A GUIDE FOR EFFECTIVE TREATMENT PLANNING by ALICIA

STYLE AS A GUIDE FOR EFFECTIVE TREATMENT PLANNING by ALICIA LASHAEN JACKSON (Under the Direction of Linda F. Campbell) ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is to examine the usefulness of the Defense Style Questionnaire (DSQ) in treatment planning. This seeks to assist therapists in facilitating a healthier (adaptive) defense style with clients through formulation of appropriate treatment plans. The Maladaptive and Adaptive scales of the DSQ will be examined in relationship to treatment variables: the stages of change and Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI) indices. The investigator hypothesizes that if clinicians had a clear sense as to how clients cope with difficulties, along with their Stage of Change, and psychological problems, clinicians can form more tailored decisions about their clients. There were five hypotheses but only two were significant. However, there was a significant relationship between the global severity indices of the BSI and maladaptive defense scores and those with high GSI scores have higher BSI scores. Future recommendations include increasing sample size, including personality measure, and conducting a longitudinal study.

VEHICLE NUMBER PLATE, SPEED AND TYPE DETECTION USING DEEP NEURAL NETWORK

Visual identification of the vehicle number plates and detecting the speed of the vehicle in a crowded traffic is a tedious process for humans. This paper proposes a detection technique that detects the vehicle number, it’s speed and the type of the vehicle automatically by using deep neural network with MobileNet architecture. The proposed model starts with character recognition and identification based on the number plate extraction and template matching. Moreover, the advantages of this technique are that it doesn’t required the size of the number plate for detection. The MobileNet architecture in deep neural network reduces the average computation time, size and number of layers and offers very less overfitting as compared to the other neural networks. By using the deep neural network, we can identify the speed, number and type of the vehicle more accurately while compared to the other existing image processing methods
GAN-based Image Colourisation with Feature Reconstruction Loss

Automatic image colourisation is a complex and ambiguous task due to having multiple correct solutions. Previous approaches have resulted in desaturated results unless relying on signiﬁcant user interaction. In this thesis we study the state of the art for colourisation and we propose an automatic colourisation approaches based on generative adversarial networks that incorporates a feature reconstruction loss during training. The generative network is framed in an adversarial model that learns how to colourise by incorporating a perceptual understanding of the colour. Qualitative and quantitative results show the capacity of the proposed method to colourise images in a realistic way, boosting the colourfulness and perceptual realism of previous GAN-based methodologies. We also study and propose a second approach that incorporates segmentation information in the GAN framework and obtain quantitative and qualitative results.

Immunomodulatory Impact of Herbs and Probiotics in Type 2 Diabetic Rat Model

Diabetes mellitus exerts many complications, irregular immune responses is more serious one which potentially increases infections. This work aimed to assess, the immunomodulatory effect of cardamom, ginger, and cinnamon without/with probiotics in type2 diabetic rat model (T2DRM). Seventy-two adult male, Wistar rats were assigned to nine groups. Eight rats were kept as healthy control. Sixty-four rats were used to induce T2DRM. One group was offered to 0.2 ml multi-strain probiotics orally. The rest of T2DRM were offered to 100 mg/kg aqueous extract of cardamom, ginger, or cinnamon without/with 0.2 ml multi-strain probiotics orally. Oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), serum insulin, and C-peptide were determined. Total leucocyte count (TLC), neutrophil (N%), lymphocyte (L%) were calculated. Spleen cellular viability%, phagocytic index (vitro, vivo) and glucose consumed with lymphocytes were estimated. Pancreatic tissue glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) activities were assayed. INF-, IL-5, and IL17 cytokines were determined. Groups fed cardamom or ginger with probiotic showed significant (P<0.05) improvement in OGTT, serum insulin, spleen cellular viability%, phagocytic index (vitro, vivo) and glucose consumed with lymphocytes compared to T2DRM. Besides, they recorded significant amelioration in INF- IL-5 and IL-17. Ginger without/with probiotic recorded significant increase (P<0.05) in TLC, L%, GSH-Px, SOD and CAT. Cardamom without/with probiotic exerted significant increase (P<0.05) in GSH-Px and CAT. The probiotic group showed significant increase (P<0.05) in GSH-Px. However, cinnamon had a moderate immunomodulatory effect. This study indicated that administration of ginger or cardamom with probiotics success to achieve immunomodulation of T2DRM through antioxidant and antiinflammatory effects.
Binding of Cd(II) by Amorphous Aluminum Hydroxide-Organophosphorus Coprecipitates: From Macroscopic to Microscopic Investigation

The mobility of Cd(II) in soils, sediments, and aquatic systems is strongly dependent on adsorption behaviors occurring at the mineral-water interface, and this process may be influenced by the presence of organic phosphorus (OP). In this study, we investigate Cd(II) adsorption onto amorphous aluminum hydroxide (AAH), both in the presence and absence of OP, represented by the widely abundant myo-inositol hexakisphosphate (IHP). Isothermal adsorption experiment coupled with attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) and 1H solid-state NMR spectra were employed. Physiochemical characterization shows that IHP can increase the surface negative charge and the number of surface sites. Isothermal results show that high IHP loading enhances Cd(II) adsorption while no obvious increase is observed at low IHP loading. The overall effect of IHP on Cd(II) sorption depends on the extent of two positive processes, i.e., (1) IHP can form ternary complexes with adsorbed Cd(II) on AAH and (2) IHP can increase the negative surface charge of AAH, and a negative process, i.e., AAH competes with Cd(II) for AAH surface sites. ATR-FTIR results confirm the possible formation of three structurally distinct ternary complexes, i.e., the AAH-IHP-Cd, AAH-Cd-IHP, and AAH-Cd-IHP-Cd. The analysis of 1H solid-state NMR demonstrates that IHP only increases the number of surface OH groups rather than changes their chemical environment and speciation. Cd does not bind to the AAH surface but mainly binds with the OH groups of IHP. All findings of this work suggest that the presence of high dose of OP promotes the retention of Cd(II) in soils, thereby decreasing their bioavailability to biota.
Impact of COVID’19 Pandemic on Indian Electrical Distribution System

Many countries have imposed nationwide lockdown as a preventive measure against spread of COVID-19 pandemic. In this situation, industrial and commercial loads have been shut down. Consequently, the grid is experiencing sudden decrease in electricity demand. This sudden fall in load demand has a huge impact on power system operation in terms of energy dispatch, reactive power management, voltage security and voltage stability. This paper presents Indian power distribution system operation, in light of the extraordinary impact of the Covid-19 pandemic and resulting lockdown measures. Electricity demand on Indian power sector has dropped quickly with confinement measures. Rise in electricity demand observed, as unlock measures were gradually implemented. The Covid-19 pandemic has a substantial impact on India’s electricity system. When India started its lockdown on 25 March 2020, power demand declined by 21.3% compared with the beginning of March. Demand further declined by 30.8% on 27th March, marking the lowest demand of the month. Peak power consumption had declined by 20.3% in April, 16.3% in May and 5.3% in June compared to the same months last year. In India, the gap between coal and renewables significantly narrowed after the first lockdown measures were taken. It is noted that market clearing price declined by 21% during lockdown period and the lowest MCP recorded is 1.952 Rs. /KWhr on 25th March 2020. The main objective of the network operator is to ensure 24x7 uninterrupted and quality power supply to all consumers. Voltage and frequency profile shall be maintained within Indian Electricity Grid Code band. In order to prevent the blackouts, network operator has to analyze the power system in advance in the aspect of voltage security for a wide range of uncertainties to evaluate potential risks to the system. Indian power system management is reported in this paper during COVID-19 and it’s impact on voltage profile, reactive power management and market clearing price. In this paper, looking into adverse effect of declined load demand, an analysis has been carried out on Indian electrical distribution system for such events in future. A detailed voltage stability analysis is also carried out and cause of voltage instability is identified. Modal analysis is also performed to identify weak nodes and lines using participation factors. Accordingly, corrective action is taken to improve voltage stability margin. Further, PV and QV curves are obtained at each node using continuation power flow to demonstrate loadability limits. Nodes with least stability margin are critical. The analysis has been carried out on practically existing part of Indian Distribution System with realistic load profile.
(DMBA) INDUCED BREAST CANCER IN SPRAGUE- DAWLEY RATS

Objective: To determine the effect of Tridham (TD) and 1,2,3,4,6-penta-O-galloyl-β-D-glucose(PGG) on lipid peroxidation levels and mitochondrial antioxidants status in experimental mammary carcinoma. Methods: Elaecoarpus ganitrus (fruits), Terminalia chebula (seed coats), Prosopis cineraria (leaves), adult female albino rats of Sprague-Dawley strain weighing 170–190 g and 7,12-dimethylbenzeneanthracene (DMBA) were used for this study. Group I control rats, Group II rats mammary carcinoma induced with DMBA (25 mg in 1 ml olive oil) by gastric intubation. Group III, IV and V DMBA induced rats were treated with TD (400 mg/kg. b. wt/day), PGG (30 mg/kg. b. wt/day) and standard drug, Cyclophosphamide (30 mg/kg. b. wt/day), respectively for 48 d by gastric intubation. Group VI and VII rats served as TD and PGG treated controls, respectively for 48 d by gastric intubation. At the end of the experimental period, the rats were anaesthetized and sacrificed. Mammary glands were isolated and used for biochemical assays and histopathological evaluation. Results: In rats with cancer, the lipid peroxide levels (LPO) were significantly increased and mitochondrial antioxidant levels were decreased. Treatment with TD and PGG decreased LPO levels and increased mitochondrial antioxidant status in mammary carcinoma bearing rats. Histopathological analysis also confirmed the therapeutic effect of TD and PGG. No significant adverse effect was observed in sole drug treated group of rats. Conclusion: TD and PGG have definite therapeutic effect in experimental mammary carcinoma and inhibit growth of cancer cells by restoring mitochondrial antioxidant status and energy metabolism to normal states.
MODC: Resilience for disaggregated memory architectures using task-based programming

Disaggregated memory architectures provide benefits to applications beyond traditional scale out environments, such as independent scaling of compute and memory resources. They also provide an independent failure model, where computations or the compute nodes they run on may fail independently of the disaggregated memory; thus, data that's resident in the disaggregated memory is unaffected by the compute failure. Blind application of traditional techniques for resilience (e.g., checkpoints or data replication) does not take advantage of these architectures. To demonstrate the potential benefit of these architectures for resilience, we develop Memory-Oriented Distributed Computing (MODC), a framework for programming disaggregated architectures that borrows and adapts ideas from task-based programming models, concurrent programming techniques, and lock-free data structures. This framework includes a task-based application programming model and a runtime system that provides scheduling, coordination, and fault tolerance mechanisms. We present highlights of our MODC prototype and experimental results demonstrating that MODC-style resilience outperforms a checkpoint-based approach in the face of failures.
SMART REMOTE FOR CONTROLLING ELECTRICAL APPLIANCE THROUGH BLUETOOTH

The common plan of Home Automation System (HAS) with the minimum effort and remote controller. This is used to help and full fill the need of the older and debilitated in the home. Additionally, the brilliant home idea of framework improves the way of life at home. The fundamental control executes the remote Bluetooth new method to give far off access from a PC or a cell phone. The arrangement remains the flow of electrical switches and gives greater security control on switches with a low voltage starting technique. The switches status is synchronized taking everything together in the control systems whereby each one shows the persistent existing switches status. The structure is intended to control the electrical machines and the contraptions in-house with decently insignificant exertion plan, simple to utilize interface and straightforwardness of the foundation. The fundamental target of this framework is to build up a basic and cost-proficient home automation framework with an Android application that would go about as a distant and utilize every one of the machines that can be associated which would assist with improving on day by day life. Moderating power implies trying not to squander it and its base usage. This implies doing straightforward things like killing the electrical machine when any individual is going to leave the room and so forth The greatest inspiration for individuals to save power is for the gathered investment funds in their energy bills toward the year's end.
C D ] 1 1 O ct 2 01 1 Distribution of particles and bubbles in turbulence at small Stokes number

The inertia of particles driven by the turbulent flow of the surrounding fluid makes them prefer certain regions of the flow. The heavy particles lag behind the flow and tend to accumulate in the regions with less vorticity, while the light particles do the opposite. As a result of the long-time evolution, the particles distribute over a multi-fractal attractor in space. We consider this distribution using our recent results on the steady states of chaotic dynamics. We describe the preferential concentration analytically and derive the correlation functions of density and the fractal dimensions of the attractor. The results are obtained for real turbulence and are testable experimentally.
Source-Location Privacy Protection Based on Cloud in Wireless Sensor Networks

- Wireless Sensor Networks are widely used in many applications. It consists of sensors which collect the different information such as location of the object, privately relevant information etc. Source location privacy is the major problem in wireless sensor networks (WSN). Privacy protection especially source location protection prevents the sensor nodes from revealing valuable information about the target. In this paper, we proposed a scheme based on cloud for protecting source location. In this scheme, multiple sinks are adopted to create many routing path thus changes the packet destination in each transmission. A cloud-shaped fake hotspot is created to add fake packets into the WSN to confuse the adversary and provide a comprehensive privacy location.
