description: Academic integrity, and its associated values, are an essential aspect of cultures that provide a foundation for conduct and behaviour of all members within higher education. Establishing such cultures support the quality of student learning as well as their ethical deportment within their programs of study. The merits of acculturating students within academic integrity has implications for their performance and commitment to similar conduct and behaviours in their chosen professional fields as positive, ethical, and caring professionals benefitting all who receive their care and service. Creating and sustaining such learning cultures requires a multifaceted approach and an understanding and appreciation for the complexity of nurturing such environments.  Academic integrity pledges situated across the learning trajectory at meaningful times during students' developmental paths, serve as one strategy that can be effective to academic integrity efforts.  How one School of Health Sciences has approached and realized academic integrity pledges are discussed, and may serve as an example for others.  The successes and opportunities for future development are outlined and reviewed.

description: Prior research suggests that homicide cases involving familial offenders and victims are subject to a "domestic discount" that reduces sentencing severity. However, the operation of a domestic discount in regard to death penalty sentencing has been rarely examined. The current research uses a near-population of jury decisions in capital murder trials conducted in North Carolina from 1991 to 2009 (n = 800), and a series of logistic regression analyses to determine whether there is (a) a direct effect between offender-victim relationship (e.g., domestic, friend/acquaintance, and stranger) and jury decision making, and/or (b) whether domestic offender-victim relationship (as well as other offender-victim relationships) moderates the effect of legal and extralegal case characteristics on jury assessment of the death penalty. Our findings revealed no empirical support for a "domestic discount" whereby juries are less likely to impose death sentences in cases involving domestic homicides. However, substantial differences in predictors of death sentencing were found across offender-victim dyads; most notably, domestic homicide cases demonstrated the most legalistic model of jury decisions to impose death sentences.

description: Child maltreatment is one of the most commonly examined risk factors for violence in dating relationships. Often referred to as the intergenerational transmission of violence or cycle of violence, a fair amount of research suggests that experiencing abuse during childhood significantly increases the likelihood of involvement in violent relationships later, but these conclusions are primarily based on correlational research designs. Furthermore, the majority of research linking childhood maltreatment and dating violence has focused on samples of young people from the United States. Considering these limitations, the current study uses a rigorous, propensity score matching approach to estimate the causal effect of experiencing child physical abuse on adult dating violence among a large sample of South Korean emerging adults. Results indicate that the link between child physical abuse and adult dating violence is spurious rather than causal. Study limitations and implications are discussed.

description: In the search for quantum advantage with near-term quantum devices, navigating the optimization landscape is significantly hampered by the barren plateaus phenomenon. This study presents a strategy to overcome this obstacle without changing the quantum circuit architecture. We propose incorporating auxiliary control qubits to shift the circuit from a unitary $2$-design to a unitary $1$-design, mitigating the prevalence of barren plateaus. We then remove these auxiliary qubits to return to the original circuit structure while preserving the unitary $1$-design properties. Our experiment suggests that the proposed structure effectively mitigates the barren plateaus phenomenon. A significant experimental finding is that the gradient of $θ_{1,1}$, the first parameter in the quantum circuit, displays a broader distribution as the number of qubits and layers increases. This suggests a higher probability of obtaining effective gradients. This stability is critical for the efficient training of quantum circuits, especially for larger and more complex systems. The results of this study represent a significant advance in the optimization of quantum circuits and offer a promising avenue for the scalable and practical implementation of quantum computing technologies. This approach opens up new opportunities in quantum learning and other applications that require robust quantum computing power.

description: We prove that it is impossible to distinguish two spatially coinciding fluorescent molecules from a single rotating molecule using polarization-sensitive imaging, even if one modulates the polarization of the illumination or the detection dipole-spread function (DSF). If the target is known to be a dipole pair, existing imaging methods perform poorly for measuring their angular separation. We propose simultaneously modulating the excitation polarization and DSF, which demonstrates robust discrimination between dipole pairs versus single molecules. Our method improves the precision of measuring centroid orientation by 50% and angular separation by 2- to 4-fold over existing techniques.

description: Two-dimensional (2D) materials display nanoscale dynamic ripples that significantly impact their properties. Defects within the crystal lattice are the elementary building blocks to tailor the material's morphology. While some studies have explored the link between defective structures and rippling dynamics in 2D materials, a comprehensive understanding of this relationship has yet to be achieved. Here, we address this using machine learning-driven molecular dynamics simulations. Specifically, we find that above a critical concentration of defects, free-standing graphene sheets undergo a dynamic transition from freely propagating to static ripples. Our computational approach captures the dynamics with atomic resolution, and reveals that the transition is driven by elastic interactions between defects. The strength of these interactions is found to vary across defect types and we identify a unifying set of principles driving the dynamic-to-static transition in 2D materials. Our work not only rationalises puzzling experimental results for defective 2D materials, but also paves the way to design two-dimensional devices with tailored rippling dynamics. These insights could lay the foundations for a new class of disorder-based catalytic and interfacial materials.

Super-Nyquist Asteroseismology

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2018

description: Photometric observations from space missions have provided us excellently uninterrupted continuous data taken over long timespans with ultra-high precision and made it possible for us to investigate seismically the deep layers of the Sun and the stars.

Due to a telemetry limit of space missions, however, the sampling cadence of photometry is not freely set as we would like to have. A typical case is 30-min sampling of the Long Cadence mode of the Kepler Space Telescope. Many stars, including A type stars, are oscillating with shorter periods than this sampling, and consequently the Nyquist aliases of oscillations trouble in data analysis.

In my talk, I will first briefly remind you that super-Nyquist asteroseismology was successfully carried out with the original Kepler mission, and then propose a new technique for future missions to overcome the problem of Nyquist aliases. The method only has to introduce modulation to the sampling program in advance. Some suitable combinations of the modulation frequency and amplitude allow us to identify the real oscillation frequencies correctly.  I will demonstrate its efficiency and show this method must be useful for future space photometry missions.

description: We report the first experimental demonstration of the odd-cycle game. We entangle two ions separated by ~2 m and the players use them to win the odd-cycle game with a probability ~26 sigma above that allowed by the best classical strategy. The experiment implements the optimal quantum strategy, is free of loopholes, and achieves 97.8(3) % of the theoretical limit to the quantum winning probability. We perform the associated Bell test and measure a nonlocal content of 0.54(2) -- the largest value for physically separate devices, free of the detection loophole, ever observed.

description: The Internet is integral to modern life, influencing communication, business, and lifestyles globally. As dependence on Internet services grows, the demand for high-quality service delivery increases. Service providers must maintain high standards of quality of service and quality of experience (QoE) to ensure user satisfaction. QoE, which reflects user satisfaction with service quality, is a key metric for multimedia services, yet it is challenging to measure due to its subjective nature and the complexities of real-time feedback. This paper introduces a machine learning-based framework for objectively assessing QoE in multimedia networks. The open-source framework complies with the ITU-T P.1203 standard. It automates data collection and user satisfaction prediction using key network parameters such as delay, jitter, packet loss, bitrate, and throughput. Using a dataset of over 20,000 records from various network conditions, the Random Forest model predicts the mean opinion score with 95.8% accuracy. Our framework addresses the limitations of existing QoE models by integrating real-time data collection, machine learning predictions, and adherence to international standards. This approach enhances QoE evaluation accuracy and allows dynamic network resource management, optimizing performance and cost-efficiency. Its open-source nature encourages adaptation and extension for various multimedia services. The findings significantly affect the telecommunications industry in managing and optimizing multimedia services. The network centric QoE prediction of the framework offers a scalable solution to improve user satisfaction without the need for content-specific data. Future enhancements could include advanced machine learning models and broader applicability to digital services. This research contributes a practical, standardized tool for QoE assessment across diverse networks and platforms.

description: In contrast with Mercer kernel-based approaches as used e.g., in Kernel Principal Component Analysis (KPCA), it was previously shown that Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) inherently relates to asymmetric kernels and Asymmetric Kernel Singular Value Decomposition (KSVD) has been proposed. However, the existing formulation to KSVD cannot work with infinite-dimensional feature mappings, the variational objective can be unbounded, and needs further numerical evaluation and exploration towards machine learning. In this work, i) we introduce a new asymmetric learning paradigm based on coupled covariance eigenproblem (CCE) through covariance operators, allowing infinite-dimensional feature maps. The solution to CCE is ultimately obtained from the SVD of the induced asymmetric kernel matrix, providing links to KSVD. ii) Starting from the integral equations corresponding to a pair of coupled adjoint eigenfunctions, we formalize the asymmetric Nyström method through a finite sample approximation to speed up training. iii) We provide the first empirical evaluations verifying the practical utility and benefits of KSVD and compare with methods resorting to symmetrization or linear SVD across multiple tasks.

description: Prior qualitative research has demonstrated that female college students may utilize their professors as support providers when they experience sexual assault and intimate partner violence victimization. To further explore this phenomenon, the present study used a random sampling design on two college campuses to examine the following questions: (a) Are student disclosures of crime victimization a common occurrence for college professors? (b) What is the nature of college professors’ most recent disclosure of crime victimization? and (c) Do professor characteristics predict receiving a student disclosure of victimization? Implications of these findings as well as directions for future research will be discussed.

description: Little is known about the role social support may play in reducing the risk of adolescent dating violence perpetration and victimization. This study is a longitudinal analysis of the independent impact of social support from friends and parents on the risk of emotional and physical dating violence perpetration and victimization among a large sample of female youth (n 5 346). Findings indicate that 22% of the sample indicated perpetrating physical dating violence against a partner, whereas almost 16% revealed being the victim of physical dating violence; 34% of the sample indicated perpetrating emotional dating violence against a partner, whereas almost 39% revealed being the victim of emotional dating violence. Negative binomial regression models indicated that increased levels of support from friends at Time 1 was associated with significantly less physical and emotional dating violence perpetration and emotional (but not physical) dating violence victimization at Time 2. Parental support was not significantly related to dating violence in any model. Implications for dating violence curriculum and future research are addressed.

description: Severe convective storms are among the most dangerous weather phenomena and accurate forecasts mitigate their impacts. The recently released suite of AI-based weather models produces medium-range forecasts within seconds, with a skill similar to state-of-the-art operational forecasts for variables on single levels. However, predicting severe thunderstorm environments requires accurate combinations of dynamic and thermodynamic variables and the vertical structure of the atmosphere. Advancing the assessment of AI-models towards process-based evaluations lays the foundation for hazard-driven applications. We assess the forecast skill of three top-performing AI-models for convective parameters at lead-times of up to 10 days against reanalysis and ECMWF's operational numerical weather prediction model IFS. In a case study and seasonal analyses, we see the best performance by GraphCast and Pangu-Weather: these models match or even exceed the performance of IFS for instability and shear. This opens opportunities for fast and inexpensive predictions of severe weather environments.

Qualitative and Quantitative Methods for Situating Matching Processes: A Comparative Analysis of Algorithmic Development and Dating Practices
Creators: name: Pidoux, Jessica
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022
Subjects: matching algorithms, online dating, dating apps, methodology

description: In this talk I will discuss my doctoral thesis' methodology where I studied three different standpoints: Graphical User Interfaces (GUI), developers, and users to understand online dating phenomena. For each standpoint, I retained the relevance of replications (Boullier, 2018). This enabled me to focus on specific entities for each standpoint (e.g., user representation variables, algorithmic input values on interfaces) that have agency over replicating online-dating practices across platforms. Through a comparative analysis, I identified the entities that become conventional across platforms. This way, I focused on comparing the plurality of possibilities that online dating creates for every actor. To build the comparisons, I used both quantitative and qualitative methods, chosen accordingly for every standpoint adopted. More specifically, I focused on the analysis of how data traceability is built on GUI structures due to their crucial role. They mediate developers’ practices of collecting data necessary for defining algorithms and of user interactions for finding a date, a partner, or for establishing at least a contact online. While qualitative analysis enabled me to have a situated view on what matters to actors, the quantitative analysis enabled commensurability of entities.

description: Stochastic embeddings of finite metric spaces into graph-theoretic trees have proven to be a vital tool for constructing approximation algorithms in theoretical computer science. In the present work, we build out some of the basic theory of stochastic embeddings in the infinite setting with an aim towards applications to Lipschitz free space theory. We prove that proper metric spaces stochastically embedding into $\mathbb{R}$-trees have Lipschitz free spaces isomorphic to $L^1$-spaces. We then undergo a systematic study of stochastic embeddability of Gromov hyperbolic metric spaces into $\mathbb{R}$-trees by way of stochastic embeddability of their boundaries into ultrametric spaces. The following are obtained as our main results: (1) Every snowflake of a compact, finite Nagata-dimensional metric space stochastically embeds into an ultrametric space and has Lipschitz free space isomorphic to $\ell^1$. (2) The Lipschitz free space over hyperbolic $n$-space is isomorphic to the Lipschitz free space over Euclidean $n$-space. (3) Every infinite, finitely generated hyperbolic group stochastically embeds into an $\mathbb{R}$-tree, has Lipschitz free space isomorphic to $\ell^1$, and admits a proper, uniformly Lipschitz affine action on $\ell^1$.

description: Revealing the quantum properties of matter requires a high degree of experimental control accompanied by a profound theoretical understanding. At ultracold temperatures, quantities that appear continuous in everyday life, such as the motional angular momentum of two colliding particles, become quantized, leaving a measurable imprint on experimental results. Embedding a single particle within a larger quantum bath at lowest temperatures can result in resonant partial-wave dependent interaction, whose strength near zero energy is dictated by universal threshold scaling laws. Hybrid atom-ion systems have emerged as a novel platform in which a single charged atom in an ultracold bath serves as a well-controlled impurity of variable energy. However, entering the low-energy s-wave regime and exploring the role of higher-partial-wave scattering within has remained an open challenge. Here, we immerse a Barium ion in a cloud of ultracold spin-polarized Lithium atoms, realize tunable collision energies below the s-wave limit and explore resonant higher-partial-wave scattering by studying the energy dependence of Feshbach resonances. Utilizing precise electric field control, we tune the collision energy over four orders of magnitude, reaching from the many-parital-wave to the s-wave regime. At the lowest energies, we probe the energy dependence of an isolated s-wave Feshbach resonance and introduce a theoretical model that allows to distinguish it from higher-partial-wave resonances. Additionally, at energies around the p-wave barrier, we find and identify an open-channel f-wave resonance, consistent with threshold laws. Our findings highlight and benchmark the importance of higher-partial-wave scattering well within the s-wave regime and offer control over chemical reactions and complex many-body dynamics in atom-ion ensembles - on the level of individual angular momentum quanta.

description: The ground state of QCD with two flavors (up and down quarks) at finite baryon density in sufficiently strong magnetic field is in a form of either a chiral soliton lattice(CSL), an array of solitons stacked along the magnetic field, or a domain-wall Skyrmion phase in which Skyrmions are spontaneously created on top of the CSL In the latter, one 2D (baby) Skyrmion in the chiral soliton corresponds to two 3D Skyrmions (baryons) in the bulk. In this paper, we study spin statistics of topological solitons by using the following two methods: the conventional Witten's method by embedding the pion fields of two flavors into those of three flavors with the Wess-Zumino-Witten (WZW) term, and a more direct method by using the two-flavor WZW term written in terms of a spin structure. We find that a chiral soliton of finite quantized size called a pancake soliton and a hole on a chiral soliton are fermions or bosons depending on odd or even quantizations of their surface areas, respectively, and a domain-wall Skyrmion is a boson. We also propose surgeries of topological solitons: a domain-wall Skyrmion (boson) can be cut into a pancake soliton (fermion) and a hole (fermion), and a chiral soliton without Skyrmions can be cut into a pancake soliton (fermion) and a hole (fermion).

transplantation

description: While it is an undeniable historical fact that Buddhism has spread far beyond India, adapting to local circumstances and spawning new variations in the process, the process by means of which it did so is obscure. Recent scholarship has shown that to impute a sense of"mission" to Buddhism is to employ a specifically Christian category which does not fit in well with Buddhism as it was understood by the originators of the Buddhist tradition. For this and related reasons, contemporary scholars of religion prefer to speak of the "transplantation" of Buddhism rather than of "mission''. This work builds on the theories of religious transplantation advanced by Michael Pye, Frank Whaling, Martin Baumann and others. It presents a theoretical perspective on the transplantation of Buddhism that is based on an understanding of Buddhism as consisting of three interrelated "traditions" ranging from the direct perception of reality as Buddhism understands and defines it, to participation in popular Buddhist ritual. The interaction between these three traditions gives rise to four chronologically distinct, but always interacting phases in the transplantation process. The theoretical perspective is demonstrated with reference to Buddhist history in general and South African Buddhist history in particular, and by applying it to various problematic situations in contemporary Buddhism, such as the relation between Buddhism and "other" religions and the predominance of middle-class members (which in South Africa equates to white members) in contemporary western Buddhism

description: Given a combinatorial search problem, it may be highly useful to enumerate its (all) solutions besides just finding one solution, or showing that none exists. The same can be stated about optimal solutions if an objective function is provided. This work goes beyond the bare enumeration of optimal solutions and addresses the computational task of solution enumeration by optimality (SEO). This task is studied in the context of Answer Set Programming (ASP) where (optimal) solutions of a problem are captured with the answer sets of a logic program encoding the problem. Existing answer-set solvers already support the enumeration of all (optimal) answer sets. However, in this work, we generalize the enumeration of optimal answer sets beyond strictly optimal ones, giving rise to the idea of answer set enumeration in the order of optimality (ASEO). This approach is applicable up to the best k answer sets or in an unlimited setting, which amounts to a process of sorting answer sets based on the objective function. As the main contribution of this work, we present the first general algorithms for the aforementioned tasks of answer set enumeration. Moreover, we illustrate the potential use cases of ASEO. First, we study how efficiently access to the next-best solutions can be achieved in a number of optimization problems that have been formalized and solved in ASP. Second, we show that ASEO provides us with an effective sampling technique for Bayesian networks.

description: Engineering atom-atom interactions is essential both for controlling novel phases of matter and for efficient preparation of many-body entangled states, which are key resources in quantum communication, computation, and metrology. In this work, we propose a scheme to tailor these interactions by coupling driven atom pairs to optical cavity photons via a molecular state in the dispersive regime, resulting in an effective photon-field-dependent potential. As an illustrative example, by analyzing the quantum Fisher information, we show that such induced interactions can generate robust many-body entanglement in two-mode ultracold bosons in an optical cavity. By tuning the photon-induced interactions through the cavity drive, we identify conditions for preparing highly entangled states on timescales that mitigate decoherence due to photon loss. Our results show that entanglement formation rate scales strongly with both photon and atom number, dramatically reducing the timescale compared to bare atomic interactions. We also identify an optimal measurement for exploiting the metrological potential of the atomic state in an interferometric protocol with significant photon losses, saturating the quantum Cramer-Rao lower bound. Furthermore, we show that despite these losses the atomic state exhibits strong Bell correlations. Our results pave the way for engineering atom-atom interactions to study novel phases of light and matter in hybrid atom-photon systems, as well as for tailoring complex quantum states for new quantum technology protocols and fundamental tests of quantum mechanics.

description: We propose a multi-mode bar consisting of mass elements of decreasing size for the implementation of a gravitational version of the photo-electric effect through the stimulated absorption of up to kHz gravitons from a binary neutron star merger and post-merger. We find that the multi-mode detector has normal modes that retain the coupling strength to the gravitational wave of the largest mass-element, while only having an effective mass comparable to the mass of the smallest element. This allows the normal modes to have graviton absorption rates due to the tonne-scale largest mass, while the single graviton absorption process in the normal mode could be resolved through energy measurements of a mass-element in-principle smaller than pico-gram scale. We argue the feasibility of directly counting gravito-phonons in the bar through energy measurements of the end mass. This improves the transduction of the single-graviton signal, enhancing the feasibility of detecting single gravitons.

title: Vorinformationen über Schüler und ihr Einfluss auf das Verständnis psychologischer Gutachten
Creators: name: Kunz, Barbara
Year: 2010

description: In einer experimentellen Untersuchung wurden die diagnostische Kompetenz und die Urteilsgenauigkeit von Lehrkräften, ihr Verständnis und Empfinden bezüglich der Qualität von Gutachten analysiert. Zu diesem Zweck wurde ein Fragebogen entwickelt, auf dessen Basis jene Informationen erhoben werden sollten, die von Lehrkräften aus Gutachten herausgelesen werden kann. Die Struktur und der Aufbau der Fragebögen war jener von psychologisch-diagnostischen Gutachten nachempfunden. Die Datenbasis war eine Stichprobe von 104 (88 weibliche und 16 männliche) Lehrkräften, mit einem durchschnittlichen Alter von 42 Jahren, aus vorwiegend Grund- und Pflichtschulen. In dieser Untersuchung zeigte sich, dass die allgemeine diagnostische Kompetenz der Lehrkräfte durchwegs als positiv zu sehen ist. Vorinformationen über Schüler, wie das Sozialverhalten und auch Hinweise auf eine mögliche Lese-Rechtschreib-Schwäche, führten jedoch bei der kognitiven Leistungsabschätzung zu Urteilsverzerrungen und Fehlinterpretationen. Die Qualität von Gutachten generell wurde sehr unterschiedlich beschrieben. Es zeigte sich, dass für Lehrkräfte teilweise wichtige Informationen fehlten und die essenziellen Fakten über die Schüler nicht aus den Gutachten herausgelesen werden konnten.
description: The present experimental study investigated the diagnostic competence and accuracy of teachers’ judgments, as well as their understanding of the quality of psychological expert reports. For this purpose, a questionnaire was developed to assess the information which teachers can gather from an expert report. Structure and design of the questionnaire reflected the style of a written psychological-diagnostic expert report. Data were obtained from a sample of 104 teachers (88 female and 16 male) with an average age of 42 years, mostly from elementary schools. The results of the present study indicate that, in general, the diagnostic competence of teachers is quite good, but that previously received information about pupils, such as their social behavior and cues to possible reading and spelling difficulties, lead to judgment biases and misinterpretation in cognitive performance rating. The quality of expert reports was perceived quite differently by the teachers. It turned out that some of them felt that relevant pieces of information were missing, and that essential facts about pupils couldn’t be derived from the expert reports.

description: Temporal distances lie at the heart of many algorithms for planning, control, and reinforcement learning that involve reaching goals, allowing one to estimate the transit time between two states. However, prior attempts to define such temporal distances in stochastic settings have been stymied by an important limitation: these prior approaches do not satisfy the triangle inequality. This is not merely a definitional concern, but translates to an inability to generalize and find shortest paths. In this paper, we build on prior work in contrastive learning and quasimetrics to show how successor features learned by contrastive learning (after a change of variables) form a temporal distance that does satisfy the triangle inequality, even in stochastic settings. Importantly, this temporal distance is computationally efficient to estimate, even in high-dimensional and stochastic settings. Experiments in controlled settings and benchmark suites demonstrate that an RL algorithm based on these new temporal distances exhibits combinatorial generalization (i.e., "stitching") and can sometimes learn more quickly than prior methods, including those based on quasimetrics.

description: Highly ordered nanocrystal (NC) assemblies, namely superlattices (SLs), have been investigated as novel building blocks of optical and optoelectronic devices due to their unique properties based on interactions among neighboring NCs. In particular, lead halide perovskite NC SLs have attracted significant attention, owing to their extraordinary optical characteristics of individual NCs and collective emission processes like superfluorescence (SF). So far, the primary method for preparing perovskite NC SLs has been the drying-mediated self-assembly method, in which the colloidal NCs spontaneously assemble into SLs during solvent evaporation. However, this method lacks controllability because NCs form random-sized SLs at random positions on the substrate rendering NC assemblies in conjunction with device structures such as photonic waveguides or microcavities challenging. Here, we demonstrate template-assisted self-assembly to deterministically place perovskite NC SLs and control their geometrical properties. A solution of CsPbBr3 NCs is drop-casted on a substrate with lithographically-defined hollow structures. After solvent evaporation and removal of excess NCs from the substrate surface, NCs only remain in the templates thereby defining the position and size of these NC assemblies. We performed photoluminescence (PL) measurements on these NC assemblies and observed signatures of SF, similar as in spontaneously assembled SLs. Our findings are crucial for optical devices that harness embedded perovskite NC assemblies and prepare fundamental studies on how these collective effects can be tailored through the SL geometry.

description: Recent research has been focused on the portrayal of intimate partner homicides in the news media with specific emphasis on the most commonly occurring type, femicides (the murder of a female intimate partner by a male intimate partner). One important finding in the analysis of intimate partner homicide is the striking number of femicides that are followed by perpetrator suicide. Whereas homicide followed by suicide is a rare occurrence in the context of crime generally, within the context of intimate partner homicide, femicide–suicide is common. The present research utilized content analysis to explore the media coverage of a near population of femicide–suicide cases in the North Carolina from 2002 to 2009 (n = 86). An examination of the article titles showed that the majority of titles (54%) assigned to the articles describe the crime as an ambiguous homicide or homicide–suicide and do not indicate the relationship between the perpetrator and victim. In comparison, results show that 78% of the articles’ text defined the homicide–suicide as domestic violence. Specifically, in cases where the news coverage defined the femicide–suicide as domestic violence, the authors identified 4 media frames used (1) femicide–suicide by a male perpetrator, (2) femicide–suicide due to loss of perpetrator control, (3) femicide–suicide as a mercy killing, and (4) femicide– suicide due to jealousy. Implications for societal perceptions of violence against women as well as corresponding victims’ policies/services are presented and discussed.
