description: Correction of surgical aphakia with spectacles or contact lenses have some limits such as image size disparity, “pincushion” distortion, ring scotoma, and altered spatial perception, and implanting an intraocular lens (IOL) provides many advantages over both of these methods. There is yet no established consensus on the best IOL fixation technique in the absence of adequate capsular support. Options include anterior chamber IOLs (AC-IOLs) and suture fixated (SF) or sutureless posterior chamber lens implants (PC-IOLs).

description: Efforts have been recently made to construct ontologies for network security. The proposed ontologies are related to specific aspects of network security. Therefore, it is necessary to identify the specific aspects covered by existing ontologies for network security. A review and analysis of the principal issues, challenges, and the extent of progress related to distinct ontologies was performed. Each example was classified according to the typology of the ontologies for network security. Some aspects include identifying threats, intrusion detection systems (IDS), alerts, attacks, countermeasures, security policies, and network management tools. The research performed here proposes the use of three stages: 1. Inputs; 2. Processing; and 3. Outputs. The analysis resulted in the introduction of new challenges and aspects that may be used as the basis for future research. One major issue that was discovered identifies the need to develop new ontologies that relate to distinct aspects of network security, thereby facilitating management tasks.

description: We determine the asymptotic behavior of the $l_{p}$-norms of the sequence of Taylor coefficients of $b^{n}$, where $b=\frac{z-λ}{1-\barλz}$ is an automorphism of the unit disk, $p\in[1,\infty]$, and $n$ is large. It is known that in the parameter range $p\in[1,2]$ a sharp upper bound \begin{align*} \left|\!\left|b^{n}\right|\!\right|_{l_{p}^A}\leq C_{p}n^{\frac{2-p}{2p}} \end{align*} holds. In this article we find that this estimate is valid even when $p\in[1,4)$. We prove that \begin{align*} \left|\!\left|b^{n}\right|\!\right|_{l_{4}^A}\leq C_{4}\left(\frac{\log n}{n}\right)^{\frac{1}{4}} \end{align*} and for $p\in(4,\infty]$ that \begin{align*} \left|\!\left|b^{n}\right|\!\right|_{l_{p}^A}\leq C_{p}n^{\frac{1-p}{3p}} & . \end{align*} We prove that our upper bounds are sharp as $n$ tends to $\infty$ i.e. they have the correct asymptotic $n$ dependence.

description: The rapid penetration of photovoltaic generation reduces power grid inertia and increases the need for intelligent energy resources that can cope in real time with the imbalance between power generation and consumption. Virtual power plants are a technology for coordinating such resources and monetizing them, for example on electricity markets with real-time pricing or on frequency reserves markets. Accurate short-term photovoltaic generation forecasts are essential for such virtual power plants. Although significant research has been done on medium- and long-term photovoltaic generation forecasting, the short-term forecasting problem requires special attention to sudden fluctuations due to the high variability of cloud cover and related weather events. Solar irradiance nowcasting aims to resolve this variability by providing reliable short-term forecasts of the expected power generation capacity. Sky images captured in proximity to the photovoltaic panels are used to determine cloud behavior and solar intensity. This is a computationally challenging task for conventional computer vision techniques and only a handful of Artificial Intelligence (AI) methods have been proposed. In this paper, a novel multimodal approach is proposed based on two Long Short-Term Memory Networks (LSTM) that receives a temporal image modality of a stream of sky images, a temporal numerical modality of a time-series of past solar irradiance readings and cloud cover readings as inputs for irradiance nowcasting. The proposed nowcasting pipeline consists of a preprocessing module and an irradiance augmentation module that implements methods for cloud detection, Sun localization and mask generation. The complete approach was empirically evaluated on a real-world solar irradiance case study across the four seasons of the northern hemisphere, resulting in a mean improvement of 39% for multimodality.

description: Understanding and engineering the coupling of spins in nanomaterials is of central importance for designing novel devices. Graphene nanostructures with π-magnetism offer a chemically tunable platform to explore quantum magnetic interactions. However, realizing spin chains bearing controlled odd-even effects with suitable nanographene systems is challenging. Here, we demonstrate the successful on-surface synthesis of spin-1/2 antiferromagnetic Heisenberg chains with parity-dependent magnetization based on antiaromatic diaza-hexa-peri-hexabenzocoronene (diaza-HBC) units. Using distinct synthetic strategies, two types of spin chains with different terminals were synthesized, both exhibiting a robust odd-even effect on the spin coupling along the chain. Combined investigations using scanning tunneling microscopy, non-contact atomic force microscopy, density functional theory calculations, and quantum spin models confirmed the structures of the diaza-HBC chains and revealed their magnetic properties, which has an S = 1/2 spin per unit through electron donation from the diaza-HBC core to the Au(111) substrate. Gapped excitations were observed in even-numbered chains, while enhanced Kondo resonance emerged in odd-numbered units of odd-numbered chains due to the redistribution of the unpaired spin along the chain. Our findings provide an effective strategy to construct nanographene spin chains and unveil the odd-even effect in their magnetic properties, offering potential applications in nanoscale spintronics.

description: Background: Black people are at high risk of glaucoma. Routine eye exams are the only way of identifying early glaucoma for treatment and blindness prevention. Public education on glaucoma risk factors and detection may be an important public health strategy to encourage those at high risk to have their eyes checked. Purpose: To evaluate glaucoma knowledge (including presentation, risk factors and detection) and associated socio-demographic factors in a black community in Toronto to aid the development of future public education programs. Materials and Methods: Questionnaire surveys from 5 black people centered churches or organizations. Results: The mean age of participants (n=201) was 48.7 years. Most participants reported glaucoma can cause blindness (88.6%) and run in families (76.0%). However, only few participants (4%) correctly reported glaucoma affects peripheral vision. Over 1 in 4 participants (26.7%) reported incorrectly glaucoma always causes eye symptoms. Less than half of the participants knew black people are at higher risk of glaucoma (48.7%) and glaucoma most likely affects people 40 years or older (46.2%). A history of parents or siblings with glaucoma was not associated with better knowledge of three established glaucoma risk factors (40 years or over, African origin and positive family history). Participants 40 years or older did not have greater knowledge than those under 40 that older people are at higher risk of developing glaucoma (prevalence ratio (PR)=0.90, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.63-1.26). Participants with and without postsecondary education equally reported that eye examinations are the only way to identify glaucoma (PR=1.02, 95% CI 0.72-1.46). Poverty was associated with lower levels of knowledge of the aforementioned three glaucoma risk factors and that glaucoma is identified through eye examinations. Conclusion: Glaucoma knowledge in Toronto’s black community is inadequate. Education about glaucoma presentation, risk factors and detection should be prioritized in this high-risk group.

description: We present a multi-band photometric catalog of $\approx$ 1.7 million cluster members for a field of view of $\approx$ 2x2 degree across $ω$ Cen. Photometry is based on images collected with the Dark Energy Camera on the 4m Blanco telescope and the Advanced Camera for Surveys on the Hubble Space Telescope. The unprecedented photometric accuracy and field coverage allowed us for the first time to investigate the spatial distribution of $ω$ Cen multiple populations from the core to the tidal radius, confirming its very complex structure. We found that the frequency of blue main-sequence stars is increasing compared to red main-sequence stars starting from a distance of $\approx$ 25' from the cluster center. Blue main-sequence stars also show a clumpy spatial distribution, with an excess in the North-East quadrant of the cluster pointing towards the direction of the Galactic center. Stars belonging to the reddest and faintest red-giant branch also show a more extended spatial distribution in the outskirts of $ω$ Cen, a region never explored before. Both these stellar sub-populations, according to spectroscopic measurements, are more metal-rich compared to the cluster main stellar population. These findings, once confirmed, make $ω$ Cen the only stellar system currently known where metal-rich stars have a more extended spatial distribution compared to metal-poor stars. Kinematic and chemical abundance measurements are now needed for stars in the external regions of $ω$ Cen to better characterize the properties of these sub-populations.

Solving major pollution problems: a new process model

description: Existing process models describe the general social and institutional processes involved in the solution of environmental problems and in the solution of public policy problems. These existing models do not include many processes specific to pollution problems and in most cases they do not included a quantitative assessment of the likely duration and strength of the processes involved. In this work I have proposed a process model with nine specific processes involved in the solution of major regional pollution problems. I have named the nine processes: affected party, harbinger, public concern, political action, inquiry, body of knowledge, legislation, allocation of funds, and organisational change. The processes were selected to be consistent with general processes of the literature models and to reflect actual processes that have been involved in the solution of pollution problems in Sydney since European settlement. I have used five case studies of regional air and water pollution problems from the Australian cities of Melbourne and Sydney. The nine proposed processes were identified in each of the case study problems and were quantified by the use of indicators that measured the strength and duration of the individual process.

description: Objective: This study was to explore whether the intracranial pressure (ICP) changes and intraocular pressure (IOP) changes are synchronized after brain surgery. We also want to see whether measurement of IOP could be used to monitor ICP. Materials and methods: We evaluated the correlation between intracranial pressure and intraocular pressure in 15 patients with meningioma admitted to our hospital. All patients required the intracranial pressure monitoring on clinical grounds. Intraocular pressures were measured by portable non-contact tonometer. We simultaneous recorded the intracranial pressure and intraocular pressure once a time per hour. Results: We found significant correlation between intraocular pressures and intracranial pressure in 60.0% (9/15) of the tested population. However, ICP and IOP showed significant correlation only in 4 (16.7%) out of 24 time points (P<0.05). Conclusions: Although there is a significant correlation between ICP and IOP in neurosurgical patients, changes in IOP cannot always reflect the dynamic changes in ICP.

description: We investigate both analytically and by numerical simulation the relaxation of an overdamped Brownian particle in a 1D multiwell potential. We show that the mean relaxation time from an injection point inside the well down to its bottom is dominated by statistically rare trajectories that sample the potential profile outside the well. As a consequence, also the hopping time between two degenerate wells can depend on the detailed multiwell structure of the entire potential. The nonlocal nature of the transitions between two states of a disordered landscape is important for the correct interpretation of the relaxation rates in complex chemical-physical systems, measured either through numerical simulations or experimental techniques.

description: Shape memory alloys are known to memorise one -or several- temperatures at which the martensite-austenite transformation was stopped before completion in the past, the memory manifesting as specific dips in subsequent calorimetric scans. Previous studies have shown that this memory can be erased by heating to higher temperatures than the ones previously recorded. In this paper, we study a distinct memory fading effect which takes place by heating to a lower temperature. This effect is reported in NiFeGa as polycrystalline ribbons, the alloy being initially studied as bulk for which the thermal memory effect was not found. If, after an initial incomplete heating up to T1 one performs a second incomplete heating up to T2

description: The focus of this thesis, within the expansive field of the anthropology of food, is the relationship between cooking, kitchens and identity. The contemporary landscape of food production and consumption is continually changing. More recently, issues of sustainable practices have entered into popular discourse around the food we eat and where it comes from. In order to understand the relationship between food and ideas of sustainable, conscious consumption, I undertook my fieldwork in an Australian ecovillage. My research was conducted over a period of eight weeks in the summer of 2014. I lived and worked in the village during this time as an active participant in the community’s practices and projects. My time in the village kitchen gave me insight into the different cooking philosophies of everyone I cooked with – their traditions, beliefs and attitudes that were just as essential to the meals they cooked as the raw ingredients. In the ecovillage, I observed people performing and reinforcing their identity through the process of creating a meal. This research also speaks to some of the rapidly growing organisations attempting to change the way Australians eat food in order to promote an appreciation of the environmental and social impact of their food choices.

Automated Machine Learning for Multi-Label Classification

description: Automated machine learning (AutoML) aims to select and configure machine learning algorithms and combine them into machine learning pipelines tailored to a dataset at hand. For supervised learning tasks, most notably binary and multinomial classification, aka single-label classification (SLC), such AutoML approaches have shown promising results. However, the task of multi-label classification (MLC), where data points are associated with a set of class labels instead of a single class label, has received much less attention so far. In the context of multi-label classification, the data-specific selection and configuration of multi-label classifiers are challenging even for experts in the field, as it is a high-dimensional optimization problem with multi-level hierarchical dependencies. While for SLC, the space of machine learning pipelines is already huge, the size of the MLC search space outnumbers the one of SLC by several orders.
 In the first part of this thesis, we devise a novel AutoML approach for single-label classification tasks optimizing pipelines of machine learning algorithms, consisting of two algorithms at most. This approach is then extended first to optimize pipelines of unlimited length and eventually configure the complex hierarchical structures of multi-label classification methods. Furthermore, we investigate how well AutoML approaches that form the state of the art for single-label classification tasks scale with the increased problem complexity of AutoML for multi-label classification.
 In the second part, we explore how methods for SLC and MLC could be configured more flexibly to achieve better generalization performance and how to increase the efficiency of execution-based AutoML systems.

description: Despite being popularly referred to as the ultimate solution for all problems of our current electric power system, smart grid is still a growing and unstable concept. It is usually considered as a set of advanced features powered by promising technological solutions. In this paper, we describe smart grid as a socio-technical transition and illustrate the evolutionary path on which a smart grid can be realized. Through this conceptual lens, we reveal the role of big data, and how it can fuel the organic growth of smart grid. We also provide a rough estimate of how much data will be potentially generated from different data sources, which helps clarify the big data challenges during the evolutionary process.

Political attitudes, policies and the radical right: has the emergence of a radical right party mainstreamed radical right discourse and attitudes in Australia?
Creators: name: Preval-Mann, Renee

description: Populist radical right parties continue to establish themselves as credible options within the party systems of liberal democracies across the globe. Whilst a radical right party has not penetrated the Australian political system as successfully or as consistently as has been seen in Western Europe, we are also not immune to their appeal. The emergence of Pauline Hanson in 1996 is indicative of this and her rhetoric and policies were seen as prototypical of the radical right. Despite the rapid disintegration of the One Nation Party, the underlying grievances and insecurities that Hanson tapped into continued to fester beneath the surface. Her successful re-emergence and election as a senator in 2016 have once again sparked debate surrounding race and identity within Australian society. This thesis therefore seeks to investigate the role that the emergence and re-emergence of a radical right party such as Pauline Hanson’s One Nation has had on the Australian mainstream. Has the presence of a radical right party resulted in a lunge to the right? Or, as suggested by some scholars, has it had little impact at all? An examination of change and continuity in the policies of political parties as well as in the political attitudes of voters will underpin the analysis of this phenomenon.

Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.

Contact metamorphism and granitic emplacement in the Tamworth area
Creators: name: Hales, David

Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: The Moonbi Adamellite is a Permo-Triassic 'I'-type pluton which has intruded into the upper crust in the New England Orogen, N.S.W. The wall rocks covered in this study make up part of the Tamworth Terrane. They consist of argillites, arenites, conglomerates and limestones. The limestones have been separated into autochthonous or allochthonous deposits. The mafic igneous rocks are considered to be intrusive. They include an as yet unrecognised intrusion: the Oaky Creek andesite, which is found to the north of the Tamworth area. -- Contact metamorphism has been recognized within an aureole 3-4 kms wide. Rocks of the upper hornblende hornfels fades are found at the highest grades along the contact. The biotite isograd was seen as the boundary between the contact metamorphic rocks and the regional Tamworth Terrane. The regional geology in the Tamworth Terrane indicates a confining pressure of approximately 1 kbar at the time of emplacement of the adamellite. Prograde metamorphic assemblages indicate that the contact metamorphic fluids were water rich (XcO2<0.25). The source of the fluids is from prograde reactions and from meteoric water. The precursor magma rose through the crust as a water under-saturated magma. The magma is considered to have absorbed fluids from the contact rocks through fractures and permeable units. The water is hypothesised to have been then released through pegmatite dykes as the magma crystallised. -- A model of transport and emplacement of the Moonbi Adamellite involves a twostage mechanism. Initial space was made through roof lifting along faults and fractures in the cold country rocks. Then as the rocks became hot and infiltrated by fluids they became susceptible to deformation as increasing magma joined the intrusion through a feeder dyke. This caused weak syn-intrusive deformation in the wall rocks.

description: Although the personality of the manager has been shown to predict performance in many fields, in agriculture, this relationship has not been studied in detail. In the study presented here, 59 dairy farm managers in England andWales completed psychological assessments; on 40 of 53 measures, farmers were found to be distinct from the general working population norm. Significant correlations to farm profitability for four of the 53 measures were found. Almost 40% of the variation in farm profitability was predicted by a simple linear model with just three of these personality measures: ‘Detail Conscious’ and ‘Leadership’ measures positively and, ‘Relaxed’, negatively, predicted farm profitability. Though observational, and not demonstrating cause and effect, the associations are strong. These three measures are, thus, candidate variables for personality measures that drive farmer and farm manager performance. Longitudinal, or intervention studies, may demonstrate causality in the future. In the interim, being cognisant of these attributes during the hiring and training of farm staff, particularly those with management roles, may well result in improvements in farm profitability.

As a model reaction we have chosen the hydrogenation of reduced graphite ($KC_8$) with $H_2O$ and compared it with the corresponding exposure to $H_2$ and $O_2$. The early stages of graphene hydrogenation are accompanied by the evolution of a series of so far undiscovered D-bands ($D_1$-$D_5$). Using quantum mechanical calculations, we were able to unambiguously assign these bands to distinct lattice vibrations in the neighborhood of the covalently bound addend. Interestingly, the exposure of $KC_8$ to $H_2$ and $O_2$ didn't cause covalent binding, but intercalation of molecular $H_2$ or partial oxidation, respectively. A combination of $H_2O$ and $O_2$ treatment led to the formation of additional hydroxyl (-OH) functionalities. The latter reaction represents a very suitable model for the decomposition of graphenides under ambient conditions (hydrogenation and hydroxylation). We have applied this Raman analysis to simulate and satisfactorily characterize a series of additional covalently functionalised graphene derivatives prepared as bulk materials with different composition (e.g. degree of functionalisation and the nature of covalent addend) demonstrating the generality of the concept and the fundamental value for graphene chemistry.

description: We show a novel systematic way to construct conservative finite difference schemes for quasilinear first-order system of ordinary differential equations with conserved quantities. In particular, this includes both autonomous and non-autonomous dynamical systems with conserved quantities of arbitrary forms, such as time-dependent conserved quantities. Sufficient conditions to construct conservative schemes of arbitrary order are derived using the multiplier method. General formulas for first-order conservative schemes are constructed using divided difference calculus. New conservative schemes are found for various dynamical systems such as Euler's equation of rigid body rotation, Lotka-Volterra systems, the planar restricted three-body problem and the damped harmonic oscillator.

description: In terms of complex radio environments especially in dense urban areas, a very interesting topic is considered - the utilization of reconfigurable intelligent surfaces. Basically, based on simple controls of the angle of reflection of the signal from the surface, it is possible to achieve different effects in a radio communication system. Maximizing or minimizing the received power at specific locations near the reflecting surface is the most important effect. Thanks to this, it is possible to: receive a signal in a place where it was not possible, detect spectrum occupancy in a place where the sensor could not make a correct detection, or minimize interference in a specific receiver. In this paper, all three concepts are presented, and, using a simple ray tracing simulation, the potential profit in each scenario is shown. In addition, a scenario was analyzed in which several of the aforementioned situations are combined.

description: Progressing digitalization and increasing demand and use of software cause rises in energy- and resource consumption from information and communication technologies (ICT). This raises the issue of sustainability in ICT, which increasingly includes the sustainability of the software products themselves and the art of creating sustainable software. To this end, we conducted an analysis to gather and present existing literature on three research questions relating to the production of ecologically sustainable software ("Green Coding") and to provide orientation for stakeholders approaching the subject. We compile the approaches to Green Coding and Green Software Engineering (GSE) that have been published since 2010. Furthermore, we considered ways to integrate the findings into existing industrial processes and higher education curricula to influence future development in an environmentally friendly way.

Making moral decisions ;: examining the interplay of controlled cognition and automatic intuitions during the resolution of moral dilemmas

description: Recent evidence investigating moral psychology has suggested that moral decisions result from the interplay of two distinct and separable processes: one fast, automatic and affective, the other slow, effortful and abstract. Central to this dual-process theory are assumptions about when and how each mechanism emerges, interacts and is reconciled. It is largely assumed, for example, that decision-making is driven by fast, automatic intuitions that can be overcome by slower, more deliberative thought. While there is now a substantial body of research supporting the distinction between two systems during moral reasoning, little is known about the interaction between the systems. This thesis investigated when and how controlled cognition and automatic intuitions contributed to the production of moral judgements using the reach-to-touch paradigm. In two separate experiments participants were presented with moral dilemmas that differed according to the doctrine of double effect. Participants were shown two response options to the question “What would you do?” with one characteristically utilitarian and the other deontological. Participants indicated their response by reaching to the right or left of a central start position. A Polhemus Liberty motion capture system rapidly sampled the position of the participant’s hand throughout the movement. Experiment 1 required participants to make decisions about moral dilemmas alone. In Experiment 2, a cognitive load manipulation was introduced. Results provide temporal support for the dual process theory. At an early stage in processing deontological responses to high conflict dilemmas were comparatively more rapid than utilitarian decisions. In an extension of previous research results revealed utilitarian preferences to be, rather than slow and more taxing, variable on a trial-by-trial basis. Together, these findings suggest that cognitive resources mediate the interaction between intuition and cognition.
Precursors of Short Gamma-Ray Bursts in the SPI-ACS/INTEGRAL Experiment

description: We have analyzed the light curves of 519 short gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) detected in the SPI-ACS/INTEGRAL experiment from December 2002 to May 2014 to search for precursors. Both the light curves of 519 individual events and the averaged light curve of 372 brightest bursts have been analyzed. In a few cases, we have found and thoroughly studied precursor candidates based on SPI-ACS/INTEGRAL, GBM/Fermi, and LAT/Fermi data. A statistical analysis of the averaged light curve for the entire sample of short bursts has revealed no regular precursor. Upper limits for the relative intensity of precursors have been estimated. No convincing evidence for the existence of precursors of short GRBs has been found. We show that the fraction of short GRBs with precursors is less than 0.4% of all short bursts.

Analysing the effects of subsidies on Eastern European agriculture

description: In light of recent reforms to the European Unions (EU) Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), this study investigates the effect agricultural subsidies have had on seven Eastern European nations total factor productivity (TFP). In particular, the effect decoupling reform has had on the TFP of these nations. This reform meant farmers would receive an income support payment, which would be based on particular environmental, animal welfare and food safety standards, rather than receiving subsidies based on the type of agricultural product they produced. This thesis utilises the Rizov et al. (2013) methodology, which was modified from Olley and Pakes (1996) to model unobserved TFP and to directly consider the effects of subsidies in the estimation equation. Using panel data from the Farm Accountancy Data Network (FADN), the effect decoupled subsidies have had on Eastern European agricultural is observed. The results are consistent with previous literature (Goodwin and Mishra, 2006; Rizov et al., 2013; Mary, 2013) that decoupling reform has more positive effects on TFP, when compared to the full sample, which includes coupled subsidies. A spearman rank correlation coeffcient is used to determine whether subsidies and TFP can be described as a monotonic function. The spearman correlation results indicate that decoupling reform has had positive, statistically significant effects (to the 10% level) on four of the seven nations respective TFP index, and on two nations TFP growth. This is consistent with the results from Čechura (2012), Rizovet al. (2013), Mary (2013), and indicates that decoupling reform may have less distortionary impacts on farm behaviour, leading to increased productivity.

description: Background. Vision screening in schools has a long history, the reason of which was and continues to be, the treatment of refractive anomalies. Early detection of vision problems has many advantages in education and in everyday life. Aim of the study. The screening of the refractive anomalies in pre-school and school age children (3-9 years), in the city of Pristina aimed the determination of the prevalence of refractive anomalies. Materials and method. This is a transversal project – cross sectional, which has been conducted during 2010-2011. For the data collection we have designed a special questionnaire/form. We have selected the city of Prishtina for this work, Since the study was a zonal type of study, we have selected the city of Prishtina for this work. Our research included 1027 children of age 3-9 years old. Results. The prevalence of the eye refractive anomalies in children of age 3-9 years old results to be 11.7%, with variability from 9.7% to 13.7%, for 95% accuracy. In children of age 3-9 years old, myopia was encountered in 3.4% (or 34/103 ) of the cases , with variations from 2.3% up to 4.5%; hyperopia was found in 3.8% with variations from 2.6% up to 5.0%; astigmatism in 4.5%, with variations from 3.2% up to 5.8%, without significant differences based on age or gender. Conclusions. After a thorough analysis of the results, we came to the conclusion that screening of the refractive anomalies in children of age 3-9 years old is very important since their prevalence is apparent.
