APPLICATION OF THE SPATIAL DATA MINING MODULE IN ANALYSIS OF MINING GROUND DEFORMATION FACTORS

Spatial data mining methods for example those based on artificial neural networks (ANN) allow extraction of information from databases and detection of otherwise hidden patterns occurring in these data and in consequence acquiring new knowledge on the analysed phenomena or processes. One of these techniques is the multivariate statistical analysis, which facilitates identification of patterns otherwise difficult to observe. In the paper an attempt of applying self-organising maps (SOM) to explore and analyse spatial data related to studies of ground subsidence associated with underground mining has been described. The study has been carried out on a selected part of a former underground coal mining area in SW Poland with the aim to analyse the influence of particular ground deformation factors on the observed subsidence and the relationships between these factors. The research concerned the uppermost coal panels and the following factors: mining system, time of mining activity and inclination, thickness and depth below the ground of the exploited coal panels. It has been found that the exploratory spatial data analysis can be used to identify relationships in multidimensional data related to mining induced ground subsidence. The proposed approach may be found useful in identification of areas threatened by mining related subsidence and in creating scenarios of developing deformation zones and therefore aid spatial development of mining grounds.
Development of gridded mobile source emission estimates for the Houston-Galveston nonattainment counties FY93, FY96, FY99, and FY07 in support of the Coast project. Interim research report, April 1992-September 1995

This report documents the methodology used to develop the Houston-Galveston Nonattainment Counties gridded mobile source emissions inventories. Included in the report are an overview of the emission estimation methodology and the 24-hour traffic assignments used in the analyses; the methods used to estimate the seasonally adjusted time-of-day vehicle miles of travel and associated operating speeds; the estimation of the emission rates using the EPA`s MOBILE5a program; and an outline of the method used to develop the emission estimates using the MOBILE5a emission rates. These emission inventories were developed in support of the Coastal Oxidant Assessment of Southeast Texas Project (COAST), a large-scale study of ozone formation being conducted by the Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission (TNRCC).
The Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS): Has the "Gold Standard" Become a Liability?

OBJECTIVE The Columbia- Suicide Severity Rating Scale has become the gold standard for the assessment of suicidal ideation and behavior in clinical trials. Criticism of the instrument has been mounting. We examine whether the instrument meets widely accepted psychometric standards and maps to the United States Food and Drug Administration's most recent 2012 algorithm for assessment of suicidal phenomena. Our goal is to determine if the Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale should be retained as the preferred instrument for assessment of suicidal ideation and behavior. METHOD Standard psychometric criteria dictate that categorizations to avoid type I and type II errors should be comprehensive and address the full spectrum (i.e., all dimensions) of a phenomenon. The criteria should also be well defined and consistent, and the wording throughout should be unambiguous. We examine the Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale in terms of these criteria. RESULTS The Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale does not address the full spectrum of suicidal ideation or behavior. As a result, it has the potential to miss many combinations of suicidal ideation and behavior that present to clinicians in practice (type II error). Potential misclassifications (type I and II errors) are compounded by flawed navigation instructions; mismatches in category titles, definitions, and probes; and wording that is susceptible to multiple interpretations. Further, the Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale in its current form does not map to the 2012 Food and Drug Administration's draft classification algorithm for suicidal ideation and behavior. CONCLUSION The evidence suggests that the Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale is conceptually and psychometrically flawed and does not map to the Food and Drug Administration's new standards. A new gold standard for assessment of suicidality may be warranted.
The Columbia-suicide severity rating scale: validity and psychometric properties of an online Spanish-language version in a Mexican population sample

The aim of this study was to evaluate the validity and psychometric properties in a Mexican sample of a Spanish-language online version of the Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS). Data were collected between May and October 2021 from 3,645 participants aged 18 years and over, who agreed to complete the questionnaire. Reliability analysis, confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), and psychometric properties were calculated using a two-parameter model. The results showed a reasonable level of reliability with a Cronbach’s alpha of 0.814, and evidence of unidimensionality, and construct validity for suicide risk at three risk levels: low, medium, and high. Analysis of the items suggests that they are consistent with the proposed theoretical model. Our results also demonstrate that the parameters are stable and able to efficiently discriminate individuals at high risk of suicide. We propose the use of this version of the C-SSRS in the Spanish-speaking population, since it is a multifactorial assessment of suicide risk and the inclusion of other clinical and risk factor assessments for a more comprehensive evaluation.
Daily Chronic Stressors in Combination with Resilience Are Associated with Adolescent School Bullying and the Mediating Role of Depressive Symptoms

(1) Background: Previous studies have shown that stress increases the risk of bullying (including perpetration and victimization) in adolescents, and depressive symptoms are associated with both stress and bullying. However, the relationship between stress, depressive symptoms, and bullying has not been fully elucidated. In addition, previous studies have focused only on stressors but have ignored the role of resilience in evaluating individual’s stress. This study aimed to incorporate resilience into the assessment of an individual’s stress, which we named comprehensive stress; to examine the relationship between comprehensive stress and bullying; and then to investigate the potential role of depressive symptoms in this relationship. (2) Methods: We recruited 6353 middle and high school students from the 2021 Shanghai CDC Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance Project. After signing informed consent, participants provided demographic information and completed effective measures of stressors, resilience, depressive symptoms, and bullying. (3) Results: Latent profile analysis revealed four profiles of comprehensive stress, labeled as Low stressor–High resilience (37.57%, n = 2216), Moderate high stressor–Average resilience (14.38%, n = 848), Average stressor–Moderate low resilience (33.33%, n = 1966), and High stressor–Low resilience (14.72%, n = 868). In comparison to students in the Low stressor–High resilience profile, students in other profiles demonstrated higher likelihoods of engaging in bullying victimization and perpetration, as well as higher levels of depressive symptoms. Specifically, students in the High stressor–Low resilience profile had the highest odds of bullying victimization (OR = 6.74, 95% CI: 4.92–9.22) and perpetration (OR = 5.15, 95% CI: 3.56–7.46), along with the highest level of depressive symptoms (β = 11.35, Se(β) = 0.17). Students in the Average stressor–Moderate low resilience profile had a moderate increase in the odds of bullying victimization (OR = 2.21, 95% CI: 1.63–3.00) and perpetration (OR = 2.69, 95% CI: 1.91–3.80), as well as a moderate level of depressive symptoms (β = 5.03, Se(β) = 0.13). Students in the Moderate high stressor–Average resilience profile also showed increased odds of bullying victimization (OR = 2.99, 95% CI: 2.12–4.20) and perpetration (OR = 2.80, 95% CI: 1.88–4.20), as well as a moderate level of depressive symptoms (β = 4.44, Se(β) = 0.16). Depressive symptoms were positively correlated with both perpetration and victimization. Furthermore, the mediating role of depressive symptoms between comprehensive stress and bullying was observed. (4) Conclusions: Combining stressors and resilience is crucial when evaluating an individual’s stress. Comprehensive stress is associated with bullying, and depressive symptoms may partially mediate this relationship.
The self‐concept questionnaire offers a multidimensional, developmentally sensitive measure of the capacity for self‐reflection in young children

Several existing instruments measure development in the content and complexity of young children's self‐knowledge, but few measure development in the process of self‐reflection. This study aimed to provide a cross‐sectional replication and longitudinal extension of the self‐concept questionnaire (SCQ), exploring the factor structure and developmental onset patterns proposed in the original paper. We collected parental reports and conceptually replicated the factor structure of the SCQ for 199 participants aged between 14 and 54 months using confirmatory factor analysis. Our data suggest that autonomy first develops at ~14–17 months, followed by self‐recognition at ~18–21 months, and self‐description/evaluation and emotional response to wrongdoing at ~26–30 months. Contrary to the original scale, we did not find a clear developmental distinction between the onsets of cognitive and emotional self‐evaluation. We can conclude that the SCQ factor structure is conceptually replicable and sensitive to developments in the self‐system across infancy to early childhood. The SCQ may, therefore, offer a useful alternative or addition to the widely used mirror mark test of self‐recognition when measuring the development of self‐reflective abilities in young children.
Attenuation Property of Seismic Waves and Source Characteristics of Small Earthquakes

In order to discuss the source characteristics of the local small earthquakes occurring in and around the Kinki district, the attenuation property of body wave is estimated, and the spectral densities are examined through the analysis of the coda parts of the seismograms observed at the Sumiyama Seismic Station in the southern parts of Kyoto. As for the attenuation of the body waves in the frequency rangeof I —20 Hz in the crust, Q increases with frequency quite similarly to that of the coda parts. Qs is approximated by Qs=q47 , in which q=110 for the S travel time, t3-5,---50 sec. It was found that the source spectral density of the far-field shear wave can be explained fairly well by the co-square model in the range of the magnitude, M=2—. 5. When M is smaller than about 3, the corner frequency of the spectrum takes nearly constant value regardless of the seismic moment. When M=3,--. 5, the frequency becomes maller with increase of the moment. Consequently, according to Brune's model of the dislocation, the stress drop increases from a few bars to several tens of bars with increase of the moment in the lowlevel of the magnitude, M<3. While the stress drop is ranging from 10 to 100 bars in relation to the source location and depth in the range of M— 3,-5. In the Kinki district, the seismically active regions, where small and micro earthquakes occur frequently or in a swarm, are characterized by the low stress drop compared with the other non-active regions.
Dynamique des peuplements ichtyologiques des platiers récifaux de l'île de la Réunion

L'ichtyofaune totale des platiers recifaux de la Reunion s'organise en trois peuplements lies a la morphologie recifale : peuplements d'arriere-recif, de platier interne et de platier externe. Chacun de ces peuplements comprend deux communautes de poissons dont les limites sont plus ou moins nettes selon la degradation du milieu. Les peuplements sont plus diversifies et leurs populations plus abondantes sur les recifs du nord de l'ile que sur ceux du sud. Cette structuration est de��terminee par la largeur du recif, la complexite topographique du substrat et la vitalite corallienne, plus importantes sur les recifs du nord. Les differents peuplements ont montre une richesse specifique et une abondance plus fortes pendant l'ete austral. Ce phenomene est lie au recrutement de juveniles et a l'augmentation de la ressource alimentaire a cette periode. Une tendance a plus long terme a la diminution de la diversite et de l'abondance a ete observee. Cette tendance peut provenir de l'impact du cyclone Firinga, des perturbations humaines sur le milieu ou/et de la variabilite inter annuelle du recrutement. La dynamique de population de l'espece dominante des platiers recifaux, stegastes nigricans, a egalement ete etudiee (alimentation, reproduction, croissance et production) (DocTheses)
Soft Drinks and Symptoms of Depression and Anxiety in Overweight Subjects: A Longitudinal Analysis of an European Cohort

Background: Studies about the association of carbonated/soft drinks, coffee, and tea with depression and anxiety are scarce and inconclusive and little is known about this association in European adults. Our aim was to examine the association between the consumption of these beverages and depressive and anxiety symptom severity. Methods: A total of 941 European overweight adults (mean age, 46.8 years) with subsyndromal depression that participated in the MooDFOOD depression prevention randomized controlled trial (Clinical Trials.gov identifier: NCT2529423; date of the study: from 2014 to 2018) were analyzed. Depressive and anxiety symptom severity and beverage consumption were assessed using multilevel mixed-effects ordinal logistic regression models for each beverage consumption (carbonated/soft drink with sugar, carbonated/soft drink with non-nutritive sweeteners, coffee, and tea) with the three repeated measures of follow-up (baseline and 6 and 12 months). A case report form for participants’ sociodemographic and clinical characteristics, the Food Frequency Questionnaire, the Patient Health Questionnaire-9, the Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-Item Scale, the MINI International Neuropsychiatric Interview 5.0, the Short Questionnaire to Assess Health-Enhancing Psychical Activity, and the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test were the research tools used. Results: Daily consumption of carbonated/soft drinks with sugar was associated with a higher level of anxiety. Trends towards significance were found for associations between both daily consumption of carbonated/soft drinks with sugar and non-nutritive sweeteners and a higher level of depression. No relationship was found between coffee and tea consumption and the level of depression and anxiety. Conclusions: The high and regular consumption of carbonated/soft drink with sugar (amount of consumption: ≥1 unit (200 mL)/day) tended to be associated with higher level of anxiety in a multicountry sample of overweight subjects with subsyndromal depressive symptoms. It is important to point out that further research in this area is essential to provide valuable information about the intake patterns of non-alcoholic beverages and their relationship with affective disorders in the European adult population.
Imprint of cyclone Phailin on water quality of Chilika lagoon

The very severe cyclonic storm Phailin, a category-5 hurricane, was developed over the north of Andaman and Nicobar Islands on 9 October 2013. Subsequently, it propagated towards north-northwest and made landfall at the Gopalpur coast, Odisha on 12 October1. Chilika lagoon, the largest brackish water lagoon in Asia, is in close proximity to Gopalpur.
The Influence of Satisfaction with E-Learning on the Psychological State of Nursing Students

Aim. The education system has transitioned from traditional learning to e-learning. Earlier, researchers tested the feasibility of e-learning for nursing students. However, whether satisfaction with e-learning affects students’ mental health remains unknown. This study aimed to determine the influence of satisfaction with e-learning on mental health (stress, anxiety, and depression) among undergraduate nursing students. Methods. This study design was cross-sectional, correlational, and descriptive. Data were collected between April and December 2022 from local nursing colleges in 13 regions in Saudi Arabia. A convenience sampling method was employed to recruit undergraduate nursing students. One hundred forty-four students responded to the online questionnaire. Results. Nursing students demonstrated moderate levels of anxiety (M = 9.89 (SD = 4.28)), stress (M = 10.40 (SD = 4.05)), and depression (M = 9.64 (SD = 4.38)). The average satisfaction with e-learning score was 2.79 (SD = 0.85), indicating that students’ satisfaction was low. Strong and positive correlations existed between anxiety and stress (r = 0.787, p < 0.001 ) and depression (r = 0.867, p < 0.001 ). However, anxiety, stress, and depression were not correlated with satisfaction. Female participants demonstrated more significant anxiety (M = 11.0, SD = 3.55), stress (M = 11.3, SD = 3.5), and depressive symptoms (M = 10.9, SD = 3.6) than their male counterparts. Stress significantly and indirectly affected depression through anxiety (B = 0.580, p < 0.001 , 95% CI 0.449 to 0.719). The proportion of mediation ( P M = 0 . 697 ) indicated that 69.7% of the total stress effect on depression was because of the indirect impact of anxiety, acting as a partial mediation. Conclusions. This study emphasized providing mental health services for nursing students. Conducting qualitative research will help achieve knowledge of nursing students’ mental health status.
Executive functions–based reading training engages the cingulo-opercular and dorsal attention networks

Abstract The aim of this study was to determine the effect of a computerized executive functions (EFs)–based reading intervention on neural circuits supporting EFs and visual attention. Seed-to-voxel functional connectivity analysis was conducted focusing on large-scale attention system brain networks, during an fMRI reading fluency task. Participants were 8- to 12-year-old English-speaking children with dyslexia (n = 43) and typical readers (n = 36) trained on an EFs-based reading training (n = 40) versus math training (n = 39). Training duration was 8 weeks. After the EFs-based reading intervention, children with dyslexia improved their scores in reading rate and visual attention (compared to math intervention). Neurobiologically, children with dyslexia displayed an increase in functional connectivity strength after the intervention between the cingulo-opercular network and occipital and precentral regions. Noteworthy, the functional connectivity indices between these brain regions showed a positive correlation with speed of processing and visual attention scores in both pretest and posttest. The results suggest that reading improvement following an EFs-based reading intervention involves neuroplastic connectivity changes in brain areas related to EFs and primary visual processing in children with dyslexia. Our results highlight the need for training underlying cognitive abilities supporting reading, such as EFs and visual attention, in order to enhance reading abilities in dyslexia.
Representation and Evaluation of the Global Performance of Cooperatives

Global performance, defined as “the aggregation of economic, social and environmental performance” (Baret, 2006), is a multidimensional concept that was introduced with the emergence of the concept of CSR and sustainable development. Today, the difficulty for organizations is to measure global performance and understand the interactions between its different dimensions: economic, social and environmental. The search for global performance has become increasingly important for any organization to affirm its relevance, effectiveness and efficiency in meeting the expectations of their stakeholders in order to ensure its sustainability. Cooperatives are no exception to this logic. Assessing the performance of cooperatives takes on new importance given all the challenges they will have to face and given their dual nature (association/enterprise). The objective of this article is to propose a model of representation and evaluation of the global performance of cooperatives allowing to describe the components of this performance and to analyze the interactions between its different dimensions.
ANALYSIS OF TEMPORAL AND SPATIAL CHANGES IN ISTANBUL NORTHERN FORESTS WITH SATELLITE IMAGES AND LANDSCAPE METRICS

Abstract. There is an urbanization process on a global scale with population growth and technological developments. Especially in metropolitan cities, mega projects located on the city periphery lead to environmental pressure on natural areas and forests. Istanbul Northern Forests, the transition region of the Black Sea and Mediterranean flora, host various ecosystems due to its pseudomaki structure. However, the effects of big projects recently realized such as Istanbul Airport, Northern Marmara Motorway, and Yavuz Sultan Selim Bridge on the Istanbul Northern Forests can be noticed even with the naked eye. This study investigates land use/cover changes in Istanbul Northern Forests which are under intense urbanization pressure using LANDSAT and SENTINEL-2 satellite images in a time series of thirty-nine years (1984–2023). As a result of the analysis, it is seen that the class of impervious surfaces increased in Istanbul Northern Forests between 1984–2023, while the class of barren land, natural areas and agricultural areas decreased. Landscape metrics such as Total Class Area, Percentage of Landscape, and Interspersion Juxtaposition index were used to better understand the change in the study area between 2017 and 2023.
SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS OF THE 2003 SIMI WILDFIRE EVENT

In recent years , several extreme wildfires in the Western United States and Southeastern Australia have burned within the mosaic of natural and residential land uses known an the wildland-urban interface. One such destructive fire was the Simi Fire, part of the 2003 Southern California Fire Complex. The Simi Fire burned from October 25 to November 5, 2003, consumed over 108,000 acres , destroyed 94 structures, and cost approximately $10 million to suppress.
Intermediaries’ Incentives across Share Classes in the Same Fund

We provide supporting evidence that intermediaries’ incentives vary across retail share classes in the same fund. We find that when a fund has multiple share classes with different distribution fees, flow is less sensitive to poor performance for share classes with higher distribution fees. These results are more pronounced for funds when intermediaries are more inclined to favor one share class over another—specifically, for funds serving only retail investors, having a large dispersion in distribution fees across share classes, or having a share class that charges the maximum allowed distribution fee. Our results hold for funds with small spread in investors’ performance sensitivities and disappear in a placebo test. These findings cannot be explained by differences in share-class load fees or investor clientele.
