Obstacles to Victims’ Cooperation With the Criminal Prosecution of Their Abusers: The Role of Social Support
Authors: Goodman Lisa , Bennett Lauren , Dutton Mary A. 
Published: September 2018

Over the last 20 years, diminishing tolerance for domestic violence has triggered significant criminal justice reforms designed to facilitate the prosecution of abusers. Prosecutors, for example, have adopted policies requiring that cases go forward even if the victim later has second thoughts. Although increasingly common, these “no drop” policies reflect a profound irony about domestic cases that is well known but little understood: the most formidable problem in prosecuting such cases is often the victim’s own unwillingness to bring the abuser to justice. This prospective study explored a range of factors potentially predictive of domestic violence victims’ cooperation with the prosecution of their abusers. Although the study focused on interpersonal and institutional social support, it also investigated the influence of violence severity, victim demographic factors, and victim mental health characteristics, including the presence of depressive symptoms, emotional dependence on the abuser, and substance abuse. Findings showed that tangible support, severity of violence in the relationship, and the presence of children in common with the abuser all significantly predicted victims’ cooperation with the prosecution of their abusers. Substance abuse significantly predicted victims’ noncooperation with prosecution. The research and policy implications of these findings are discussed.
Parents’ Experience of Time Distortion Following Diagnosis of a Serious or Lethal Fetal Anomaly
Authors: Smith Sally de-Vitry , Dietsch Elaine , Bonner Ann 
Published: September 2018

PURPOSE:To explore the experience of couples who continued pregnancy following a diagnosis of serious or lethal fetal anomaly.STUDY DESIGN:Thirty-one male and female participants were recruited from a high-risk maternal–fetal medicine clinic in Washington State. Data were collected using in-depth interviews during pregnancy and after the birth of their baby. Transcribed interviews were thematically analyzed through the phenomenological lens of Merleau-Ponty.FINDINGS:Participants described how time became reconfigured and reconstituted as they tried to compress a lifetime of love for their future child into a limited period. Participants’ concepts of time became distorted and were related to their perceptual lived experience rather than the schedule-filled, regimented, linear clock time that governed the health professionals.CONCLUSION:Living in distorted time may be a mechanism parents use to cope with overwhelming and disorienting feelings when their unborn baby is diagnosed with a fetal anomaly.
Sexual Harassment and Prior Sexual Trauma Among African-American and White American Women
Authors: Wyatt Gail E. , Riederle Monika 
Published: September 2018

This study examined the relationship between sexual harassment in work, educational, and social settings and sexual abuse in childhood and/or adulthood in a stratified community sample of 248 African-American and white American women. The cumulative impact of sexual victimization on women’s sense of general well-being was also examined. Those most likely to be sexually harassed in work and social settings were women with contact sexual abuse histories, regardless of ethnicity. The work status of harassers of women with sexual abuse histories differed significantly by ethnic group. Although women with prior sexual abuse experiences from both ethnic groups most frequently reported a response to sexual harassment at work, they least frequently did so in social settings. A history of childhood sexual abuse was more negatively associated with African-American women’s well-being than were repeated experiences of sexual violence. Future research should address the implications of ethnic and cultural issues on the cumulative impact of incidents of sexual violence on women of color.
The Adult Problem Solver as Person Scientist
Authors: Strohmer Douglas C. , Blustein David L. 
Published: September 2018

In this paper, we take the position that viewing the adult problem solver as a lay or person scientist provides a useful model for understanding the types of difficulty adults have in problem solving, and suggests a number of useful interventions for dealing with these difficulties. Problems and interventions are reviewed in three areas: making observations, generating tentative solutions (inferences), and testing the utility of these tentative solutions (hypothesis testing). Let us then, instead of occupying ourselves with man, the biological organism, or man, the lucky guy, have a look at man the scientist. Might not the individual man, each in his own personal way, assume more of the stature of a scientist, ever seeking to predict and control the course of events with which he is involved? Would not he have his theories, test his hypotheses, and weigh his experimental evidence? (Kelly, 1955, pp. 5-6).
Current Studies on Two Separate Topics: Breastfeeding Postpartum Length of Hospital Stay
Authors: Moore Mary Lou 
Published: September 2018

In this column, the author examines recent research on two separate topics: 1) breastfeeding; 2) postpartum length of hospital stay. Recent studies suggest long-term effects of breastfeeding that benefit both mother and infant. Benefits include a reduced risk of breast cancer in breastfeeding mothers and a reduced level of total and LDH cholesterol in adults who were breastfed as infants. Infants of mothers with maternal asthma had lower rates of asthma if the mother breastfed. In a study of women in the United States who planned to breastfeed, those mothers who breastfed exclusively and planned to breastfeed more than three months were more likely to achieve their goals than mothers who planned to combine breast and human-milk substitute feeds and to breastfeed less than three months.In a Canadian study, shortened postpartum stays led to increased re-admission to hospital for mothers with cesarean births. In contrast, in a Massachusetts study, shortened postpartum stays did not lead to an increase in infant visits for urgent care. However, the Massachusetts study did not reflect a decrease in maternity-related costs associated with shortened length of postpartum stay.

La identidad de la hojarasca de árboles tropicales determina la riqueza de hongos saprobios y la pérdida de biomasa
Authors: Gómez-Cornelio Sergio , Morón Ríos Alejandro 
Published: September 2018

La descomposición de la hojarasca y la liberación de nutrimentos depende de múltiples factores como la identidad y características de la hojarasca, las condiciones ambientales y los organismos involucrados, entre ellos la comunidad fúngica. El objetivo fue determinar la relación entre la hojarasca de Piscidia piscipula, Bursera simaruba y Cedrela odorata con la pérdida de biomasa y la colonización fúngica, bajo condiciones de laboratorio a corto plazo. Se establecieron tratamientos monoespecí cos y en las combinaciones posibles de las hojas de las especies arbóreas mencionadas. Se aplicó humedad a cada tratamiento y se analizó la pérdida de biomasa de cada especie de hojarasca, así como la identidad de las especies de hongos en cada tratamiento. Se diferenciaron 48 morfoespecies de hongos, con mayor número de morfoespecies exclusivas para Cedrela odorata. La presencia de Cedrela odorata en las mezclas, incrementó la riqueza de morfoespecies de hongos para las otras especies de árboles, mientras que la presencia deBursera simaruba, disminuyó esta variable, posiblemente por su composición química. A pesar del corto tiempo, se encontró pérdida de biomasa signi cativa en las mezclas de hojas con Cedrela odorata mientras que en las mezclas con Piscidia piscipula y Bursera simaruba no se encontraron diferencias signi cativas. También se observó que la pérdida de biomasa y la riqueza de morfoespecies de hongos fue determinada por la identidad de la hojarasca, más que por el número de especies en las mezclas de hojas.

Published: September 2018

El objetivo fue conocer si los pigmentos foliares son buenos indicadores del estado nutricional del N, P y K en plantas de frijol ejotero. Se realizaron tres estudios independientes,en el primero, el N se aplicóa la solución nutritiva en la forma de NH4NO3en dosis crecientes de 0 a 24.0 mM de N. En el segundo experimento, el P se aplicó en la forma H3PO4en dosis crecientes de 0 a 8.0 mM de P, y en el tercer experimento, el K se aplicó en la forma KSO4en dosis crecientes de 0 a 16.0 mM de K. Los parámetros analizados en tejido foliar fueron: concentración de N, P y K, biomasa, concentración de pigmentos foliares y sus relaciones. Los resultados indican que la aplicación de N favoreció la acumulación de clorofila a, b y carotenos, presentándose la máxima concentración en la dosis de 18 mM, de la misma manera la aplicación de P favoreció la acumulación de pigmentos, presentando la dosis de 4.0 mM, la mayor acumulación; mientras que la aplicación de K presentó un comportamiento inverso al N y P, presentando la mayor acumulación de pigmentos en la dosis de 1.0 mM. La concentración de clorofila a y b, y clorofila total tuvo correlación positiva y significativa con el estado nutricional del N. Los modelos matemáticos polinomial pudieran ser un instrumento para la toma de decisiones para el manejo nutricional sustentable de la fertilización de N, P y K.
Simultaneous Electrochemical Evaluation of Ascorbic Acid, Epinephrine and Uric Acid at Disposable Pencil Graphite Electrode: Highly Sensitive Determination in Pharmaceuticals and Biological Liquids by Differential Pulse Voltammetry
Authors: Levent Abdulkadir , Önal Günay 
Published: September 2018

Aim and Objective:
As is known, AA, EP and UA can also coexist in biological fluids.
Therefore, the determination of the levels of these compounds in biological fluids is extremely
important both for the diagnosis and treatment of the related diseases. In the presence of many
interfering substances in biological fluids such as blood and urine samples, it is very important that
these compounds can be selectively analyzed.

Materials and Methods:
All electrochemical experiments were performed using an Autolab
PGSTAT 128N potentiostat. Before beginning the electrochemical measurements, the PGE was
activated. The electrochemical pretreatment of PG was exercised by anodically +1.40 V for 60 s.
Then, measurements were performed with CV (-0.4 V to 1.2 V) and DPV (-0.2 V to 0.7 V) for single
and simultaneous voltammetric behaviour of AA, EP, and UA in the electrochemical method.

Results:
The anodic peak potentials of AA and UA were observed at about +0.32 V and +0.62 V,
respectively. On the other hand, for EP, while anodic peak potential was observed at about +0.53 V,
in the reverse scan, cathodic peak potentials were observed at about +0.41 V and +0.007 V. The
reduction peak observed at +0.3 V with the oxidation peak observed at +0.53 V are the reversible
peaks. In the method developed for the electrochemical simultaneous determination of AA, EP and
UA using PGE with DPV technique in BR buffer solution (pH 4.0), the anodic peak potentials are
sufficiently separated from each other.

Conclusion:
A voltammetric method was developed for the simultaneous determination of AA, EP
and UA with PGE for the first time. Here, the most important thing is that the simultaneous
determination of AA, EP and UA was successfully achieved with that targeted voltammetric method
which was sensitive, low-cost, practical and well-repeated; and that these were proven to be
selectively applicable in pharmaceutical products and biological liquids.
Varicella (Human Herpes Virus-3) Vaccine Potential Role Against Herpes (HSV-1/HSV-2) Viruses to Prevent HIV-1 Pandemic in Sub- Saharan Africa
Authors: Le Goaster Jacqueline , Bourée Patrice , El Sissy Franck N. , Epee Johanna Pokossy , Tangy Frédéric , Haenni Anne-Lise , Goldstein Allan 
Published: September 2018

Background:
Synergy exists between DNA and RNA viruses. It was found that the Human Immunodeficiency Viruses (HIV-1) are RNA viruses at the origin of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS). The DNA recurrent herpes diseases are associated to AIDS virus at the origin of Sub-Saharan cancer AIDS pandemic.

Objective:
It is speculated that a varicella virus (HHV-3) immune defect could originate HSV- 1/HSV-2 recurrent herpes diseases that can be cured by varicella vaccine (2012).

Methods:
At a Symposium held in Kampala, Uganda (1962), impressive Sub-Saharan cancer epidemics: Hodgkin lymphomas and Kaposi sarcomas have been reported since the onset of the 20th century and remained unexplained. Over one thousand publications related to these cancer epidemics were presented. For millenniums, Bantu populations have been living in tropical forests close to chimpanzees infected by Simian Immune Deficiency viruses (SIV). SIV became Human Immune Deficiency viruses (HIV-1). AIDS is a zoonosis.

Results:
The DNA and RNA viruses, herpes with HIV-1 viruses, are correlated to Sub- Saharan AIDS infections. They induce an extensive immune deficiency with other herpes viruses such as HHV-4 and HHV-8, which are linked to lymphomas and Kaposi sarcomas. It is postulated that a primary HHV-3 immune weakness could be linked to herpes partnership with AIDS pandemic.

Conclusion:
The Oka, anti-HHV-3, varicella vaccine is able to cure HSV1/HSV2 recurrent herpes diseases. It induces a specific increase of the varicella antibodies. Thus varicella vaccination could prevent herpes recurrences in Sub-Saharan Africa. One- child dose varicella vaccine could be proposed as the first step to overcome HHV-3 herpes deficiency in order to prevent AIDS pandemic.
Determination of Gamma Camera’s Calibration Factors for Quantitation of Diagnostic Radionuclides in Simultaneous Scattering and Attenuation Correction
Authors: Asgari Afrouz , Ashoor Mansour , Sarkhosh Leila , Khorshidi Abdollah , Shokrani Parvaneh 
Published: September 2018

Objective:
The characterization of cancerous tissue and bone metastasis can be distinguished
by accurate assessment of accumulated uptake and activity from different radioisotopes. The various
parameters and phenomena such as calibration factor, Compton scattering, attenuation and penetration
intrinsicallyinfluence calibration equation, and the qualification of images as well.

Methods:
The camera calibration factor (CF) translates reconstructed count map into absolute activity
map, which is determined by both planar and tomographic scans using different phantom geometries. In
this study, the CF for radionuclides of Tc-99m and Sm-153 in soft tissue and bone was simulated by the
Monte Carlo method, and experimental results were obtained in equivalent tissue and bone phantoms. It
may be employed for the simultaneous correction of the scattering and attenuation rays interacted with
the camera, leading to corrected counts. Also, the target depth (d) may be estimated by a combination of
scattering and photoelectric functions, which we have published before.

Results:
The calibrated equations for soft tissue phantom for the radionuclides were obtained by RTc = -
10d+ 300 and RSm = -8d + 100, and the relative errors between the simulated and experimental results
were 4.5% and 3.1%, respectively. The equations for bone phantom were RTc = -30d + 300 and RSm = -
10d + 100, and the relative errors were 5.4% and 5.6%. The R and d are in terms of cpm/mCi and cm.
Besides, the collimators&#039; impact was evaluated on the camera response, and the relevant equations were
obtained by the Monte Carlo method. The calibrated equations as a function of various radiation angles
on the center of camera&#039;s cells without using collimator indicated that both sources have the same quadratic
coefficient by -2E-08 and same vertical width from the origin by 8E-05.

Conclusion:
The presented procedure may help determine the absorbed dose in the target and likewise
optimize
treatment planning.
FDI and Economic Growth — Does the Quality of Banking Development Matter?
Authors: Haji Mohd Nor Hakimah , Low Soo-Wah , Md Nor Abu Hassan Shaari , Ghazali Noor A. 
Published: September 2018

This study examines the role of banking development quality in the FDI-growth nexus from 1998 to 2009. Banking development quality is measured using two standardized intermediation cost indicators and an index of banking development quality that is constructed based on the following indicators: overhead costs to total assets and net interest margin. The results for developed countries show that, on its own, FDI is negatively related to economic growth. However, when FDI is interacted with a banking development quality index, the quality of banking development is found to play a positive role in influencing the effects of FDI on economic growth. This suggests that the quality of banking development serves as an absorptive capacity that allows developed countries to benefit from the positive growth effects of FDI. On the contrary, for emerging countries, the findings indicate that banking development quality plays no role in influencing the impact of FDI on economic growth. This implies that the quality of banking development in emerging countries has yet to reach a level that allows it to importantly influence the growth effects of FDI.
Sustainability of TQM Implementation Model In The Indonesia’s Oil and Gas Industry: An Assessment of Structural Relations Model Fit
Authors: Ciptono Wakhid Slamet , Ibrahim Abdul Razak , Sulaiman Ainin , Syed A. Kadir Sharifah Latifah 
Published: September 2018

This study purposively is to conduct an empirical analysis of the structural relations among critical factors of quality management practices (QMPs), world-class company practice (WCC), operational excellence practice (OE), and company performance (company non-financial performance or CNFP and company financial performance or CFP) in the oil and gas companies operating in Indonesia. The current study additionally examines the relationships between QMPs and CFP through WCC, OE, and CNFP (as partial mediators) simultaneously. The study uses data from a survey of 140 strategic business units (SBUs) within 49 oil and gas contractor companies in Indonesia. The findings suggest that all six QMPs have positive and significant indirect relationships on CFP through WCC and CNFP. Only four of six QMPs have positive and significant indirect relationships on CFP through OE and CNFP. Hence, WCC, OE, and CNFP play as partial mediators between QMPs and CFP. CNFP has a significant influence on CFP. A major implication of this study is that oil and gas managers need to recognize the structural relations model fit by developing all of the research constructs simultaneously associated with a comprehensive TQM practice. Furthermore, the findings will assist oil and gas companies by improving CNFP, which is very critical to TQM, thereby contributing to a better achievement of CFP. The current study uses the Deming’s principles, Hayes and Wheelwright dimensions of world-class company practice, Chevron Texaco’s operational excellence practice, and the dimensions of company financial and non-financial performances. The paper also provides an insight into the sustainability of TQM implementation model and their effect on company financial performance in oil and gas companies in Indonesia.
Analysis of the Effect of Olfactory, Approach Behavior, and Experiential Marketing toward Purchase Intention
Authors: Anggie Cherish , Haryanto Jony Oktavian 
Published: September 2018

The drive of retail business competition is getting tighter and causing retailers to seek to entice consumers to be regular and faithful at their stores. Retailers need to understand consumer behavior in order to obtain what is desired by consumers. Therefore, consumer behavior needs to be studied considering various factors which can influence consumer decisions to buy a product. The emergence of BreadTalk in Indonesia in the bakery industry with a different concept bakery store has caused rapid development in this industry. One strategy used by BreadTalk to encourage consumers to visit, feel the different experience, and ultimately to increase consumer purchase intention is to use dimensional olfactory as one of the elements in the store ambience. With this phenomenon, this study aims to find the significant influence of the olfactory, approach behavior, experiential marketing toward purchase intention. Collecting data in this study was done by spreading questionnaires to students of the University of Pelita Harapan, who had visited and shopped at BreadTalk Supermal Karawaci. The questionnaires were distributed to 150 respondents. The variables that exist in the study are measured using the Likert scale. The sample collection technique used was a non-probability sampling technique of sampling with a purposive sampling method. The data are then processed by using reliability analysis, validity, and methods of structural equation modelling analysis. From the results of this study the significant influence from olfactory to 3 variables mentioned above can be seen.
