 SPECIMEN EXAMINED. — Montenegro. Western slopes of Hajla Mt, on the way to the mountain cabin Grope, 42°45’43”N, 20°09’37”E, 1752 m a.s.l., 8.IX.2017, leg. and det. A. Alegro & S. Dragićević s.n., Natural History Museum of Montenegro herbarium no. 1657/135.   REMARKS
 The species was recorded within the high mountain spruce forest, which encompasses a large, transitional peat bog area, exceptionally rich in diverse Sphagnum species. This locality is situated outside the Mediterranean part of Montenegro. The moss formed small patches in close vicinity of the forest brook, overgrowing thick deposits of partially decomposed acidic litter originating from spruce needles. The species grew together with Rhizomnium punctatum (Hedw.) T. J.Kop. and Rhodobryum roseum (Hedw.) Limpr. According to Dierssen (2001) it is a true acidophyt, which in Europe usually forms patches in acid woodlands including coniferous plantations, in heathlands, leached acid grasslands, etc. Plagiothecium undulatum is a Suboceanic Boreo-temperate element (Hill & Preston 1998; Smith 2004), beside Europe present also in Asia (China, Middle East and Siberia), Pacific Islands (New Guinea) and N America (Smith 2004; Ireland 2014). It grows in majority of N, W and central European countries (Ireland 2014; Hodgetts 2015). In SE Europe is rather under recorded than rare, known only from Bosnia & Herzegovina (Pavletić 1955), Bulgaria (Natcheva et al. 2006), Croatia (Pavletić 1955; Papp et al. 2013b), Romania (Stefănuţ & Goia 2012), Serbia (Sabovljević & Natcheva 2006) and Slovenia (Martinčič 2003). It is also present in other Mediterranean countries and islands (France, Italy, Portugal, Sicily, Spain and Turkey) (Ros et al. 2013; Hodgetts 2015). In SE Europe the species has been assessed as endangered only in Bulgaria with the category of vulnerable (Natcheva et al. 2006). In the case of our population, we found no direct threats due to the absence of human impact in these, almost primeval, high mountain spruce forests.

description: Anthropogenic activities in urban settings can result in the accumulation of harmful metal contamination in vegetable garden soils. Once present, metals are persistent in soil and tend to bioaccumulate in plants, thus entering the food chain when these plants are consumed, and potentially posing a hazard to human health. While several surveys have been conducted to assess metal uptake in vegetables, these surveys were conducted on agricultural soils, or pot plant experiments on spiked soils collected from agricultural fields. In some cases, vegetable garden soils were part of a larger survey that incorporated soils affected by mining and smelting (e.g. less sensitive land uses such as parks, recreational reserves, open public spaces). Very few peer-reviewed field trial studies have quantified the relationships between soil characteristics (soil organic matter, cation exchange capacity, pH, and electric conductivity) and plant phytoavailability. This type of study is important to inform human risk assessment to metals from vegetable consumption and oral intake of soil form gardening activities. The research presented here aimed to quantify the relationships between soil metal concentrations (Pb, Cd, Ni, and Cr) and soil physicochemical characteristics, concentration in vegetables, and associated human health risks from vegetable garden soil in the west and north of Melbourne, Australia. This research has presented a range of models with the potential for use in estimating Pb, Cd, Cr, and Ni concentrations in soil (total and bioaccessible) and vegetables grown in the west and north of Melbourne Australia. Thus, demonstrating the potential use of linear and stepwise regression models for use in risk calculations of potentially contaminated land. This research shows that despite the large consumption of homegrown vegetables and inadvertent consumption of garden soil, gardeners and their children are unlikely to be at risk to health as a result of gardening in soils with metal concentrations below the HIL A.
Courts in Victoria, Australia, During COVID: Will Digital Innovation Stick?

description: We present a case-study of the swift digital response to COVID-19 restrictions by the courts in the State of Victoria, Australia’s second-largest jurisdiction. We analyse the extent to which the management of this crisis (Step 1 in John Kotter’s model of innovation) can serve as the catalyst for digital innovation in these courts. We contend that the history of innovation in Australia is of quick, pragmatic fixes which do not translate into systematic change. For example, although Australian courts are often credited with being pioneers in court technology, recourse to apparent ‘virtual courts’ before and during COVID is probably not truly innovative. Applying Boschma’s theory about the 5 ‘proximities’ which promote innovation — geographical, social, cognitive, institutional and organisational — we maintain that for these courts, those factors have, paradoxically, worked in the opposite direction to undermine technological innovation. However COVID has seen critical changes in a number of these elements, supported by ideological and practical concerns for courts. Taken together, we are cautiously optimistic that post-COVID, Kotter’s final stage of “Making it Stick” through a technologically friendly legal culture which supports systematic and sustained court innovation, might just be possible if government is willing to fund a grander innovation agenda and has confidence in the courts’ ability to carry it through.

description: Photocatalytic membrane technology has emerged in the past few decades as an alternative to conventional wastewater treatments. It is a hybrid membrane process, combining membrane separation and photocatalysis in a single unit. The incorporation of nanoparticles (TiO2 ZnO, ZrO2, Fe2SO4, etc.) into the membrane matrix helps to utilise the photocatalytic functionality to degrade the pollutants present in wastewater without generating by-products. In this research, the incorporation of nanoparticles was carried out by both entrapping and coating methods for the modification of PVDF membrane by using phase inversion, and chemical crosslinking methods were used to incorporate the TiO2 nanoparticles to modify the PVDF membranes. In the first approach, mechanical modification of the dope solution was introduced to reduce the agglomeration of nanoparticles in the membrane matrix. Also, different concentrations of TiO2 used to study the morphological behaviour and the performance of the
membranes for the removal of textile dye.

In the second approach, TiO2 thin-film coating was implemented on the PVDF membrane by a chemical crosslinking with PVA polymer. The incorporation of PVA and TiO2 changed membrane surface morphology, roughness, and wettability, which enhanced the membrane performance in terms of the removal of textile dyes. The oleophobic nature of PVA help to mitigates the membrane fouling. The increasing TiO2 and PVA concentration were illustrated to understand the performance of the membrane in terms of pure water flux.

For both methods, the membranes were illuminated under UV irradiation to test the membrane's photocatalytic action for degrading the dyes at different parameters. The membrane coated with TiO2 showed better performance compared to the entrapped membrane, as it generated more hydroxyl radicals to degrade dyes.
title: School Provided Speech-Language Therapy Plans amid the Coronavirus Pandemic and Correlating Provider Attitudes

Publisher: name: Old Dominion University Libraries

description: As the Coronavirus pandemic continues to be a threat for those of all ages, schools were a main concern when discussing how we should attempt to return to our “normal” lives. A considerable amount of speech therapy is done in schools, and speech-language pathologists nationwide are also being impacted by the changes during this school year. This research examined many aspects of providing speech therapy during the 2020-2021 school year, beginning with introductory statistics concerning the number of children participating in each session, the instruction styles, and grade levels taught. Respondents answered a set of questions concerning their attitudes towards providing services amid the pandemic and the restrictions in place. These questions include concerns and challenges that they foresee with providing speech therapy both in-person and online, as well as strategies implemented to ensure successful therapy among the restrictions in place by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The most common provider response concerning the challenges anticipated revolved around ensuring safety for the child as well as themselves, while also fulfilling the duty of providing successful therapy. However, the speech-pathologists surveyed demonstrated their capabilities in problem-solving and inquisitiveness, as many had useful and creative ideas for providing therapy while considering the conditions and guidelines in place.

description: Background: Communication is pivotal to the effective care and treatment of patients in our health care systems. Despite this understanding, clinicians are not sufficiently educated to confidently conduct complex discussions with patients. Communication skills workshops have been shown to be an effective educational format to improve clinician skills. However, despite the increasing interprofessional focus within modern medicine, there have been few studies looking at interprofessional communication workshops. Methods: A qualitative study was conducted to assess how an interprofessional communication skills workshop affected the communication skills of clinicians at a tertiary health service. Pre- and post-workshop surveys were undertaken by participants, followed by focus group interviews eight-weeks post workshop. Results: Clinicians were able to incorporate learnt communication skills into their daily practice. This was associated with an improvement in confidence of clinicians in having complex discussions, in addition to a reduction in the burden of having complex discussions. Participants responded positively to the interdisciplinary format, reporting benefits from the learning experience that translated into daily practice. Conclusion: Clinicians’ communication skills in conducting complex clinician-patient conversations can be improved by participation in interprofessional communication skills workshops. We identified that the interprofessional aspect of the workshops not only improved interprofessional understanding and relationships, but also developed increased self-awareness during complex discussions, and reduced the sense of burden felt by clinicians.

Decentralized algorithms for monitoring moving objects with geosensor networks

Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024
Subjects: classificationCode: 401302
subject: Geospatial information systems and geospatial data modelling

description: This research aims to design efficient, decentralized spatial algorithms for monitoring moving objects with wireless geosensor networks. Wireless geosensor networks present new opportunities for monitoring geographic movement, as well as new challenges for spatial computing. In particular, the limited sensing, power, communication, and computing resources of geosensor networks present constraints to traditional, centralized spatial computing data structures, algorithms, and models.

This work explores the use of decentralized spatial algorithms for monitoring moving objects via two complementary perspectives: density-based groups of mobile geosensors, and moving objects tracked relative to fixed-position geosensors. A series of decentralized algorithms is described, specified, implemented, and evaluated experimentally via agent-based simulation. The empirical evaluation of algorithm performance is assessed through the accuracy and efficiency of the developed algorithms.

The approach and results contribute to answers to the following underlying research questions: Can decentralized spatial algorithms enable coordinate-free monitoring of moving objects via geosensor networks, without centralized control or global data access? Can such decentralized algorithms accurately monitor meaningful movement patterns for moving objects of interest? And what strategies can help decentralized algorithms monitor movement accurately, whilst maximizing communication efficiency and minimizing resource overheads for the geosensor network?

The results of this research have relevance to detecting and monitoring salient patterns of movement - such as flocks, convoys, and leadership - amongst moving entities across a range of important application areas. In turn, this work contributes to the development of new capabilities in environmental monitoring and animal behavior; traffic management and smart cities; and emergency management and response.

description: The contents of this thesis include several investigations into analogue-gravity models from an internal or in-universe perspective. The philosophy driving these studies is that operational notions of observation and measurement have been of crucial importance in the construction of our theories of physics to date, and this was especially true in the construction of Einstein's theories of special and general relativity: despite this, so far very little work appears to have been done on investigating analogue-gravity models from the perspective of such observers. Specifically, within this thesis it is demonstrated that it is possible to construct devices whose measurements behave in an equivalent manner to the reference frames within Einstein's theory of special relativity. In particular, the collective measurements of these devices would lead observers who use them (in-universe observers) to view their analogue-gravity universe as containing a sonic analogue to special relativity (where the speed of sound plays the role of the speed of light from special relativity). Of course, the sonic analogue to special relativity (sonic relativity) is not fundamental: to this end, this thesis also provides a demonstration of how certain experiments can be performed by in-universe observers to reveal the fact that their universe has a preferred frame of reference (the frame defined by their analogue-gravity medium). The existence of a preferred frame of reference reveals to in-universe observers that there exists a bigger universe (the actual universe) outside of their analogue-gravity universe, and that sonic relativity is not a fundamental description of reality in this bigger universe. Towards the end of this thesis, it is speculated that it may be possible to map a certain type of experiment that violates sonic relativity to a type of experiment that does not violate sonic relativity. Should this be true, studying analogue-gravity models that are not fully sonically relativistic may still provide us with insights into real relativistic systems.

description: To understand the intestinal microbial diversity and community structure of bighead carp (Aristichthys nobilis) under different feeding strategies, 39 fish from three groups (A: 9 fish, natural live food only; B: 15 fish, natural live food + fish formulated feeds; C: 15 fish, natural live food + fish formulated feed + lactic acid bacteria) were obtained for the high throughput 16S rRNA gene sequencing. We first examined five non-specific immunity indications of the carp—lysozyme (LZM), catalase (CAT), glutathione reductase (GR), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-PX), and superoxide dismutase (SOD). Interestingly, the composition of gut microbiota and related non-specific immune indices were affected by the feeding treatment of the bighead carp. Notably, all enzyme activity indexes were significantly different (p < 0.01) in the spleen and three enzyme activity indexes (LZM, GSH-PX, and SOD) had significant differences in the hepatopancreas (p < 0.001) of the carp from the three groups. The 16S rRNA gene sequencing showed higher diversity in groups B and C. Compared to group A, the relative abundance of Actinobacteria increased significantly and the relative abundance of Proteobacteria and Firmicutes decreased significantly in groups B and C at the phylum level. Functional analysis revealed the association between non-specific immune indicators and import genera in the hepatopancreas and spleen of bighead carp. This study provides new insights into the gut microbiomes and non-specific immune of bighead carp.

description: This paper describes the transition from the normal to inverted Marcus region in solid-state tunnel junctions consisting of self-assembled monolayers of benzotetrathiafulvalene (BTTF), and how this transition determines the performance of a molecular diode. Temperature-dependent normalized differential conductance analyses indicate the participation of the HOMO (highest occupied molecular orbital) at large negative bias, which follows typical thermally activated hopping behavior associated with the normal Marcus regime. In contrast, hopping involving the HOMO dominates the mechanism of charge transport at positive bias, yet it is nearly activationless indicating the junction operates in the inverted Marcus region. Thus, within the same junction it is possible to switch between Marcus and inverted Marcus regimes by changing the bias polarity. Consequently, the current only decreases with decreasing temperature at negative bias when hopping is “frozen out,” but not at positive bias resulting in a 30-fold increase in the molecular rectification efficiency. These results indicate that the charge transport in the inverted Marcus region is readily accessible in junctions with redox molecules in the weak coupling regime and control over different hopping regimes can be used to improve junction performance.

description: President Faure Gnassingbé acted throughout the year from a position of strength, given the divided and weakened opposition. Overdue political and institutional reforms and local elections were postponed indefinitely. The human rights situation improved slightly, but the regime continued to be describable as ‘authoritarian’. In view of the growing jihadi risk in the sub-region, the international donor community rewarded Togo’s apparent political stability as an anchor of security in West Africa with a substantial increase in development aid. With promising growth prospects, low inflation and an absence of major external shocks, the government was able to improve the macroeconomic situation. Resumé: Le président Faure Gnassingbé a agi tout au long de l'année à partir d'une position de force, face à l'opposition divisée et affaiblie. Les réformes politiques et institutionnelles en retard et les élections locales ont été reportées indéfiniment. La situation des droits de l'homme s'est légèrement améliorée, mais le régime a continué à être décrit comme «autoritaire». Compte tenu du risque croissant du jihad dans la sous-région, la communauté internationale des donateurs a récompensé la stabilité politique apparente du Togo comme ancrage de la sécurité en Afrique de l'Ouest avec une augmentation substantielle de l'aide au développement. Avec des perspectives de croissance prometteuses, une inflation faible et une absence de chocs externes majeurs, le gouvernement a été en mesure d'améliorer la situation macroéconomique.

description: Die vorliegende Diplomarbeit ist einer Serie von Werken aus den neunziger Jahren von Louise Bourgeois gewidmet, die zusammenfassend als Cells bezeichnet werden. Die Psychoanalyse, im speziellen die Texte von Sigmund Freud stehen im Mittelpunkt der Interpretation der Cells. Die Verbindung von ästhetischer Theorie und Psychoanalyse wird über eine Beschäftigung mit den Surrealisten eingeleitet. Der erste Teil der Arbeit beschreibt die Cells im Rahmen der jüngeren Forschungen zur Installationskunst. Der Akzent liegt dabei auf einer phänomenologischen Betrachtung der Cells. Über einen Vergleich mit einer Installation der Surrealisten von 1938, lassen sich die Cells der Kategorie der Dream Scene zuordnen. Dabei geht es vorwiegend darum, den Betrachter einer Erfahrung auszusetzen, die Assoziationen mit dem Phänomen des Traumes hervorrufen soll. Die Basis für diese Erkenntnis stellt der Text Die Traumdeutung von Sigmund Freud. In der formalen Analyse der Cells werden Parallelen zwischen den Plastiken, die sich im Inneren der Cells befinden und Werken von Marcel Duchamp, Auguste Rodin, Constantin Brancusi und Eva Hesse gezogen. Es werden die Darstellungen von Körpern hervorgehoben, über die sich nachvollziehen lassen, dass bereits im Frühwerk von Louise Bourgeois eine Thematisierung psychodynamischer Phänomene stattfand. Des Weiteren werden Charakteristika von Louise Bourgeois´ gestalterischer Praxis erläutert. Sie arbeitet fortwährend in ihrem Oeuvre mit Wiederholungen und Kontrasten. Bei den Wiederholungen innerhalb der Cells verhält es sich wie beim System des Deklinierens, bei dem ein Element mehrfach abgewandelt wird. Die ikonographische Interpretation der Cells konzentriert sich auf Darstellungen von Ängsten, die aus der Kindheit resultieren. Mit Hilfe der Lektüre metapsychologischer Texte von Sigmund Freud und dem Erstellen von Bezügen zu kunsthistorischen Quellen, vor allem den Werken von Vertretern der Surrealisten, Max Ernst, Antonin Artaud, Alberto Giacometti und den Schriften von André Breton , lassen sich die Vorstellungen von Angst die in den Cells auftauchen, als verdrängte Ängste deuten. Diese sind anhand der Darstellungen der Urszene und des Unheimlichen in einer Reihe von Cells verbildlicht.

description: Background: Media outlets influence social attitudes toward health habits. The analysis of tweets has become a tool for health researchers. Objective: The objective of this study was to investigate the distribution of tweets about women's health and the interest generated among Twitter users. Methods: We investigated tweets posted by 25 major U.S. media outlets about pre-menopausal and post-menopausal women's health between January 2009 and December 2019 as well as the retweets generated. In addition, we measured the sentiment analysis of these tweets as well as their potential dissemination. Results: A total of 376 tweets were analyzed. Pre-menopausal women's health accounted for most of the tweets (75.3%). Contraception was the main focus of the tweets, while a very limited number were related to infertility (1.4%). With regard to medical content, the effectiveness of contraceptive methods was the most frequent topic (46.2%). However, tweets related to side effects achieved the highest retweet-to-tweet ratio (70.3). The analysis of sentiments showed negative perceptions on tubal ligation. Conclusions: The U.S. media outlets analyzed are more interested in pre-menopausal than in post-menopausal women health and focused their content on contraception, while Twitter users showed greater interest in side effects.

The influence of the Spanish language in the learning of English for secondary education students
Creators: name: Tugues Rodriguez, Cristian
Publisher: name: La Trobe

description: This dissertation concentrates on the linguistic influences that exist in the teaching,  learning  and  acquisition  of  second  languages.  It gives  an  account  about  the effect  that  the  native  tongue  (L1)  has  on  the  L2.  The  languages  we  have  used  for  this purpose are Spanish as the mother tongue and English as the L2. After an investigation about some of the linguistic phenomenon that appear in this influence, a questionnaire aimed to get an error analysis takes place. Those errors have been treated to make the reader realise and understand that a negative transfer exists and it must be solved. Only lexico-morphological  and  grammatical  samples  anderrors have been  dealt  with  as  a first approximation  about  the  matter.  The  obtained  outcomes  show  that  influence  and transference  are  two  aspects  of  high  importance in the  learning  of  second  languages and,  either  positive  or  negative,  the  teacher must be aware  of  how  to benefit or  cope with them.

description: Die vorliegende Arbeit liefert einen Beitrag für Stromregelverfahren von Netzstromrichtern. Für den dreiphasigen Fall wird die Aufgabe gestellt, beliebige Stromsollwertvorgaben im Mit- und Gegensystem für die Grundschwingung und Harmonischen umzusetzen. Die Stromeinprägung von Harmonischen durch den Stromrichter verfolgt dabei das Ziel, Störungen in den Spannungsverläufen des Netzes zu eliminieren. Innerhalb des geschlossenen Stromregelkreises werden die Bestandteile der Netzspannungen und Ströme mit der Methode des Kalman Filters bestimmt. Aufgrund der Verwendung von Streckenmodellen unter gleichzeitiger Einbeziehung stochastischer Prozesse verfügt das Kalman Filter über Vorteile, die für eine schnelle einphasige Stromregelung mit einer zusätzlichen Einprägung von harmonischen Komponenten im Netzstrom am nicht-idealen Niederspannungsnetz genutzt werden sollen. Durch die einphasige Behandlung des dreiphasigen Systems ist das Verfahren gleichzeitig auch auf einphasige Anwendungen übertragbar.

description: The location of shelters in different areas threatened by wildfires is one of the possible ways to reduce fatalities in a context of an increasing number of catastrophic and severe forest fires. The problem is basically to locate p shelters minimizing the maximum distance people will have to cover to reach the closest accessible shelter in case of fire. The landscape is divided in zones and is modeled as an edge-weighted graph with vertices corresponding to zones and edges corresponding to direct connections between two adjacent zones. Each scenario corresponds to a fire outbreak on a single zone (i.e., on a vertex) with the main consequence of modifying evacuation paths in two ways. First, an evacuation path cannot pass through the vertex on fire.

Second, the fact that someone close to the fire may have limited choice, or may not take rational decisions, when selecting a direction to escape is modeled using a new kind of evacuation strategy. This evacuation strategy, called Under Pressure, induces particular evacuation distances which render our model specific. We propose two problems with this model: the Robust p-Center Under Pressure problem and the Probabilistic p-Center Under Pressure problem. First we prove hardness results for both problems on relevant classes of graphs for our context. In addition, we propose polynomial exact algorithms on simple classes of graphs and we develop mathematical algorithms based on integer linear programming.

description: Background: The 2013 Global Burden of Disease Study demonstrated the increasing burden of diabetes and the challenge it poses to the health systems of all countries. The chronic and complex nature of diabetes requires active self-management by patients in addition to clinical management in order to achieve optimal glycaemic control and appropriate use of available clinical services. This study is an evaluation of a "real world" peer support program aimed at improving the control and management of type 2 diabetes (T2DM) in Australia. Methods: The trial used a randomised cluster design with a peer support intervention and routine care control arms and 12-month follow up. Participants in both arms received a standardised session of self-management education at baseline. The intervention program comprised monthly community-based group meetings over 12 months led by trained peer supporters and active encouragement to use primary health care and other community resources and supports related to diabetes. Clinical, behavioural and other measures were collected at baseline, 6 and 12 months. The primary outcome was the predicted 5 year cardiovascular disease risk using the United Kingdom Prospective Diabetes Study (UKPDS) Risk Equation at 12 months. Secondary outcomes included clinical measures, quality of life, measures of support, psychosocial functioning and lifestyle measures. Results: Eleven of 12 planned groups were successfully implemented in the intervention arm. Both the usual care and the intervention arms demonstrated a small reduction in 5 year UKPDS risk and the mean values for biochemical and anthropometric outcomes were close to target at 12 months. There were some small positive changes in self-management behaviours. Conclusions: The positive changes in self-management behaviours among intervention participants were not sufficient to reduce cardiovascular risk, possibly because approximately half of the study participants already had quite well controlled T2DM at baseline. Future research needs to address how to enhance community based programs so that they reach and benefit those most in need of resources and supports to improve metabolic control and associated clinical outcomes.

description: In this review, we discuss the chronic care model (CCM) in relation to the diabetes pay-for-performance (P4P) program in Taiwan. We first introduce the 6 components of the CCM and provide a detailed description of each of the activities in the P4P program implemented in Taiwan, mapping them onto the 6 components of the CCM. For each CCM component, the following three topics are described: the definition of the CCM component, the general activities implemented related to this component, and practical and empirical practices based on hospital or local government cases. We then conclude by describing the possible successful features of this P4P program and its challenges and future directions. We conclude that the successful characteristics of this P4P program in Taiwan include its focus on extrinsic and intrinsic incentives (i.e., shared care network), physician-led P4P and the implementation of activities based on the CCM components. However, due to the low rate of P4P program coverage, approximately 50% of patients with diabetes cannot enjoy the benefits of CCM-related activities or receive necessary examinations. In addition, most of these CCM-related activities are not allotted an adequate amount of incentives, and these activities are mainly implemented in hospitals, which compared with primary care providers, are unable to execute these activities flexibly. All of these issues, as well as insufficient implementation of the e-CCM model, could hinder the advanced improvement of diabetes care in Taiwan.

description: Background: Cross-cultural evidence on the factorial structure and invariance of the PHQ-9 and the GAD-7 is lacking for South Asia. Recommendations on the use of unit-weighted scores of these scales (the sum of items’ scores) are not well-founded. This study aims to address these contextual and methodological gaps using data from a rural Indian population. Methods: The study surveyed 1,209 participants of the Kerala Diabetes Prevention Program aged 30–60 years (n at risk of diabetes = 1,007 and n with diabetes = 202). 1,007 participants were surveyed over 2 years using the PHQ-9 and the GAD-7. Bifactor-(S – 1) modeling and multigroup confirmatory factor analysis were used. Results: Factor analysis supported the existence of a somatic and cognitive/affective subcomponent for both scales, but less explicitly for the GAD-7. Hierarchical omega values were 0.72 for the PHQ-9 and 0.76 for the GAD-7. Both scales showed full scalar invariance and full or partial residual invariance across age, gender, education, status of diabetes and over time. Effect sizes between categories measured by unit-weighted scores versus latent means followed a similar trend but were systematically higher for the latent means. For both disorders, female gender and lower education were associated with higher symptom severity scores, which corresponds with regional and global trends. Conclusions: For both scales, psychometric properties were comparable to studies in western settings. Distinct clinical profiles (somatic-cognitive) were supported for depression, and to a lesser extent for anxiety. Unit-weighted scores of the full scales should be used with caution, while scoring subscales is not recommended. The stability of these scales supports their use and allows for meaningful comparison across tested subgroups.
