description: Background: The progressive increase in the prevalence of anxiety disorders in advanced ages advises the extensive use of screening inventories in this population that, everywhere in the world, has become increasingly numerically significant.Goals: The aim of this study is to present the results of validation and reliability studies of the Portuguese version of Geriatric Anxiety Inventory (GAI).Methods: After, translation and back-translation of GAI, the Portuguese version was administered to 805 institutionalized elderly. The reliability of the scale was assessed by Cronbach's alpha coefficient and factorial validity using the extraction method of Principal Components Analysis. The convergent validity study was conducted with the Geriatric Depression Scale and the Negative Affects Schedule while discriminant validity was performed with the Positive Affects Schedule and the Satisfaction With Life Scale. We used confirmatory factor analysis, by means of structural equation modeling, to test the fit of the model with 20 items. We used the area under the ROC curve (AUC) to predict the group of elderly patients with generalized anxiety disorder and the group of healthy elderly.Results: The scale has good internal consistency (α = 0.94), indicators of good convergent and discriminant validity, were all significant. The model showed a good quality of fit to the data (χ2/df = 2.805; TLI = 0.959; CFI = 0.964; RMSEA = 0.047). The ROC analysis revealed a sensitivity of 100% and specificity of 84.7% in the detection of generalized anxiety disorder with a cutoff score of 13 (AUC = 0.92). Finally, women showed higher scores than men.Conclusions: The GAI has good psychometric and factorial qualities to measure anxiety symptoms in epidemiological surveys and in geriatric institutionalized settings.

description: The aggregation behavior of imidazolium-based long-chain ionic liquid 1-tetradecyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide [C14mim][Br] has been investigated in the absence and presence of (1, 2, and 5) mM tetrabutylammonium bromide (C4H9)4NBr at three temperatures (298.15, 308.15, and 318.15) K. The critical micelle concentration (CMC), surface parameters such as maximum surface excess concentration (Γmax), the minimum area surfactant monomer at the air/water interface (Amin), surface tension at CMC (γcmc) and surface pressure (ᴨcmc) are determined by employing conductivity and surface tension measurements. Various thermodynamic parameters of micellization such as standard free energy of micellization (ΔGm0), standard enthalpy of micellization (ΔHm0), and standard entropy of micellization (ΔSm0) are calculated by utilizing the temperature dependence of CMC observed using conductivity study. Other thermodynamic parameters such as free energy of adsorption (ΔGad0) and surface free energy (Gmins) are also evaluated. Refractive index measurements and UV–vis spectroscopic studies have been utilized to confirm the values of CMC obtained via conductivity and surface tension measurements. FTIR spectroscopic studies signify the various interactions prevailing in the system constituting long-chain ionic liquid and electrolyte.

description: The Portuguese Journal of Behavioral and Social Research requires authors to follow the recommendations of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (APA, 2010) in the presentation of statistical information. One of the APA recommendations is that effect sizes should be presented along with levels of statistical significance.Since p-values from the results of the statistical tests do not indicate the magnitude or importance of a difference, then effect sizes (ES) should reported. In fact, ES give meaning to statistical tests; emphasize the power of statistical tests; reduce the risk of interpret mere sampling variation as real relationship; can increase the reporting of “non-significant"results, and allow the accumulation of knowledge from several studies using meta-analysis.Thus, the objectives of this paper are to present the limits of the significance level; describe the foundations of presentation of ES of statistical tests to analyze differences between two groups; present the formulas to calculate directly ES, providing examples of our own previous studies; show how to calculate confidence intervals; provide the conversion formulas for the review of the literature; indicate how to interpret the ES; and show that, although interpretable, the meaning (small, medium or large effect for an arbitrary metric) could be inaccurate, requiring that interpretation should be made in the context of the research area and in the context of real world variables.

description: As an increasing number of firms explore beyond their original boundaries, the underlying significance and the lack of clarity regarding why firms engage in these activities raise the research questions of this study: Why do firms initiate cross-boundary strategies? What kinds of firms are driven to take these risks? Under what circumstances are they more or less likely to implement these strategies? Based on census data on firms in the emerging economy of China from 2007 to 2013, this thesis offers a synthesized theoretical framework concerning the motivations and reasons behind two boundary-crossing strategies, industry switching and internationalization.

description: Forests are challenging workplace environments with rugged and steep terrains and large danger zones obscured by dense forest stands. Additionally, there are often restrictions on mobile communication networks, the Internet, or on Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) reception. Therefore, technologies supporting the detection of people in danger zones have not been broadly applied in forestry. During the field test, two prototypes enabling people detection via ultra-wideband (UWB) and Bluetooth low energy (BLE) were evaluated. The precision, accuracy, detection distance, and detection rates of the prototypes were determined. Furthermore, the influence of the line of sight, that is, the visual path between two points, was considered. With an overall Distance Bias of 0.44 m and overall RMSE of 1.52 m, the UWB sensor allowed precise detection within the danger zones, 30 m (mean detection distance, 28.4 m; 90% CI: 22.33–30.00 m) and 50 m (mean detection distance, 43.9 m; 90% CI: 36.81–49.63 m); therefore, it is well suited for use during felling with a chainsaw. The BLE sensor allowed presence detection even at greater distances (mean detection distance, 83.66 m; 90% CI: 62.45–103.05 m) and would be suitable for fully mechanized timber harvesting. However, BLE sensors still lack the ability to determine detection distances.

description: Goals: A new Portuguese version of the Stroop Test is essential for the neuropsychological assessment. The previous Portuguese version included colors that many people could not distinguish. Thus, it is aimed to describe the psychometric properties of a new version, called the Torga version of the Stroop Test in a sample of the Portuguese population.Methods: Being part of the Estudos Normativos de Instrumentos Neuropsicológicos/ Normative Studies of Neuropsychological Instruments, this research has a global sample of 544 subjects (241 men and 303 women) aged from 18 to 97 years. The assessment included the Torga version of the Stroop Test, the Rey-Osterrieth Complex Figure and the Frontal Battey Assessment, used as measures of executive functions.Results: The Torga version of the Stroop Test showed a very good internal consistency (Cronbach's α = 0.99). It also revealed an adequate temporal stability and convergent validity.Conclusion: The Torga version of the Stroop Test appears to be an adequate instrument for the neuropsychological assessment of Portuguese adults. Considering the importance of this test in the context of neuropsychological assessment, more studies with new samples, including clinical samples are encouraged.
The Increasing Financial Dependency of Young People on their Parents

Publisher: name: UNSW Sydney
Year: 1999

description: It is commonly mentioned in the youth policy literature that the financial dependency of young people on their parents is increasing and that this is likely to have an adverse effect on the well-being of young people, their families and the community in general. Possible consequences include lower living standards for young people and their families, family conflict, homelessness, crime and political cynicism. Reasons for the increase in young peoples’ dependency include reductions in the availability of full-time work, greater participation in school and tertiary education and changes to government income support. To date, however, evaluation of the extent to which financial dependency has increased, for whom and when has been fragmented and limited by the data used. This paper aims to address this deficit by measuring the increase in financial dependency of young people in Australia using available published information from 1943 onwards and confidentialised unit record file information from the Income Distribution Surveys conducted by the Australian Bureau of Statistics between 1982 and 1996. The main findings are that dependency has increased substantially since the late 1960s and changes over the last 14 years have been particularly great for young people aged 15 to 20 years. Changes for this group are largely the result of increased participation in education and lower employee incomes. Further changes may occur as a consequence of changes to remuneration for young people which is currently under review by Australian Industrial Relations Commission.

description: We investigate the impact of the announcements of 16 key macroeconomic variables on the Japanese foreign exchange, debt and stock markets. Despite the importance of the Japanese economy in the world stage, there hasn't been a thorough study of role of scheduled information releases in Japan. We find significant first and second moment influences on returns, and this indicates that these announcement news (or surprises) are a source of tradable information, beyond the mere act of releasing economic figures. The announcements in general raise volatility by generating additional uncertainty in the market, with the debt market exhibiting a much greater response to news than the stock market. Exchange rates and interest rate respond more to inflation-related variables, while the stock market responds more to growth-related variables. Overall, markets participants are found to react to different news announcements in a variety of sophisticated and rational ways.
title: Direct evidence for the participation of oxygen vacancies in CO oxidation over ceria supported gold catalysts using operando Raman spectroscopy

description: Supported gold catalysts are highly active for a variety of reactions, including low‐temperature CO oxidation. It has been shown that reducible support materials, for example, ceria and titania, may significantly alter catalytic performance. However, the current understanding of the CO oxidation mechanism of such gold catalysts is still incomplete, as important details such as the activation of oxygen and the role of oxygen vacancies are unknown. To elucidate the role of the ceria support during room‐temperature CO oxidation, we employed operando Raman spectroscopy by simultaneously recording the Raman spectra of the catalyst and the gas‐phase FTIR spectra. Our results give first direct spectroscopic evidence for the participation of oxygen vacancies in the oxidation of CO over ceria‐supported gold, which thus underlines the crucial role of the support material for detailed understanding of the mode of operation of supported gold catalysts.

description: Aims: The main objectives of this investigation were to describe the subjective quality of sleep and sleep disorders and analyze the intensity of depressive and loneliness symptoms in institutionalized elderly people; compare these data against a non-institutionalized elderly people subsample and analyze the relationship between these variables in both subsamples.Method: This study is part of Trajectories of Elderly Aging in Social Response Project from which a sample of one hundred and forty elderly people with no cognitive impairment was taken, with 70 institutionalized and 70 non-institutionalized matched by age, sex, education, and marital status. The average age was 76.58 (SD = 6.10), including 104 women and 36 men. The tools used for this analysis were a sociodemographic questionnaire, the Questionnaire About Sleep in the Older Adults, Geriatric Depression Scale, and the Loneliness Scale of the University of California, Los Angeles.Results: The study confirmed that institutionalized elderly people had more feelings of loneliness than those non-institutionalized. However, there were no differences between the two subsamples regarding depressive symptoms and subjective sleep quality or sleep disturbances, with some exceptions: Elderly people living in the community showed to have the perception of taking more time to fall asleep, waking up earlier, and having more nightmares. Through a correlational analysis it was found, in both subsamples, that the worse the subjective sleep quality the more depressive symptoms were observed; and the more depressive symptoms, the more feelings of loneliness, despite of not existing a relation between sleep and loneliness.Conclusions: We concluded that institutionalization is linked to more feelings of loneliness but not to depressive symptoms nor to worse quality of sleep. For this reason, it is suggested that intervention programs are developed with a focus on elderly institutionalized populations.

description: Design parameters of prefilled pens, known as autoinjectors within the medical device community, can affect pen’s functioning and user experience. This study compares the performance of two 2 mL prefilled pen devices: lebrikizumab (125 mg/mL) and dupilumab (150 mg/mL). We recorded force and acoustic signals during administration from the prefilled pen devices and performed high-speed video recording during needle insertion and drug delivery. Measurements were reported in these categories: (i) The kinematics of needle movement during insertion captured by two cameras (ii) Injection flow rate and duration, and the time between acoustic 1st (activation) click and 2nd click sounds (iii) Post-2nd click injection duration, and (iv) delivered dose volume. We investigated the impact of temperature on device performance by experimenting at room temperature (~25℃) and cool condition (~5℃). The lebrikizumab device demonstrated faster injection and more reliable end-of-dose indication, while the dupilumab device showed less lateral needle movement in air during insertion. The device activation forces are provided. Our investigation uncovered performance distinctions between lebrikizumab and dupilumab prefilled pens, which could potentially translate into patient experience, and varying levels of risk associated with intramuscular injection for the adult population and premature device removal.

description: An interval-valued neutrosophic analytic hierarchy process (AHP)-based decision-making framework is proposed to identify and prioritize limiting factors in wood harvesting. The proposed framework is applied to a case study in Turkey. A three-level hierarchical model is devised with five main factors and twenty-five subfactors. The opinions of different experts are gathered to obtain input data. The interval-valued neutrosophic AHP method is employed to determine the weights of the limiting factors. Based on the results, “management and policy factors” is identified as the most significant main factor. The five most important subfactors are “legal regulations,” “forestry policies and practices,” “management strategies,” “wood demand,” and “meteorological conditions, disasters, and diseases.” Study results provide a valuable guide to forest managers, industry professionals, policymakers, and researchers to make informed decisions and prioritize their actions.

description: Background: Psychopathological symptoms are very common among university students from different cultures, but the socio-demographic correlates that have been found are different depending on the studies. The correlates of such symptoms among Portuguese students have not been studied thoroughly, besides the methodological issues that arise in this type of studies, in the sense that has not been described who does the psychological evaluations.
Aims: the main objective was to verify if there is a difference on psychopathological symptoms between two groups questioned by two different examiners, controlling for the potential role of social desirability, and other potential covariates. Additionally, we want to assess the level of psychopathology and its socio-demographic correlates.Methods: 185 Coimbra's university students completed the Brief Symptom Inventory/BSI and the Marlowe-Crowne Social Desirability Scale. In one group the examiner was of the same age and academic status as the students, while in the other group the examiner was older and a teacher. We studied the psychopathological correlates with Pearson, point-biserial correlations, and qui-square analyses, and we controlled the potential role of covariates through Quade non-parametric ANCOVAs.Results: The level of distress was lower in comparison with other investigations. Women had higher level of distress and more symptoms of somatization, anxiety, phobic anxiety, obsessive-compulsion, and depression. The students that live a higher distance from home had more anxiety and obsessive-compulsive symptoms. The group assessed by the younger examiner scored higher in distress and in some BSI factors, and had lower levels on social desirability.
Conclusions: Sex and distance from home seem important factors for university students' mental health. However, the examiner does have an influence in the evaluation, probably because of social desirability, suggesting that the examiner's characteristics should be given in investigations involving university students.
title: A reliable accelerated protection scheme for converter-dominated power networks
Creators: name: Paladhi, Subhadeep

Publisher: name: Strathprints - University of Strathclyde
Year: 2024

description: Rising penetration of converter-based sources with different control operations is introducing severe non-homogeneity in the power systems, especially during faults. Such non-homogeneity leads the decision derived by available distance and directional relays to be unreliable. Performances of the available communication-assisted tripping schemes being dependent on these two relay decisions at both ends become a concern for the protection of converter-dominated power networks. This work demonstrates the impact of converter-based sources on both distance and directional relays and the possible maloperation of the accelerated protection schemes. A new transfer trip scheme has been proposed mitigating the issue. Considering the homogeneity present in the negative and zero sequence networks in high voltage transmission system even with converter-based sources, two indices are derived using local voltage and current data to identify the fault direction at each end of a protected line. The decisions are transferred to the alternative ends through low-bandwidth communication channels to ensure the protection decision derived for the line to be dependable as well as secured. The scheme is tested for a 9-bus and a 39-bus system, even with 100% converter-based sources using PSCAD/ EMTDC simulation platform and found to be reliable for different faults and system conditions. Comparative assessment with a few advanced techniques demonstrates the superiority of the proposed method.

Social Justice

description: As the Federal Minister for Community Services and Health, Mc Brian Howe M.H.R. pointed out in the opening address to the Conference, the 1990s are likely to see community services in Australia challenged on a number of different fronts. At a time in which demographic and social changes are placing community services under increasing pressure, political and economic conditions are not in favour of the simple expansion of the present system. Rather, it is clear that a case exists for a fundamental review of the ways in which services are organised and delivered. Developing another theme raised in the opening address, Mary Crooks placed an emphasis on the issues associated with the question of 'social justice' in community services. Sheila Shaver’s paper discusses the issues in a more conceptual and historical manner, examining the effects of a wide range of strategies pursued in recent years, upon the divisions between the public and private domains and between the state and community. The papers presented by Michael Fine and Sara Graham, shift from a consideration of community services in general to a more specific focus on the Home and Community Care Program (HACC). In the first of these papers, issues of planning are discussed, drawing on both Australian and overseas experience. The second paper presents information obtained in the first stage of a three year longitudinal study of the support provided to a cohort of people with disabilities, the majority of whom are elderly. The final two papers in this collection return to more general issues. Sue Jackson highlights the factors which need to be considered in the planning and delivery of services, signifying issues which need to be addressed from the perspective of the locally based service organisations. Tony Dalton and Kevin McDonald, in contrast, set out a new and challenging analysis of Australian cities as the sites for the generation of social problems, with major implications for the way in which community services are conceptualised.

description: In some countries, a sizable fraction of savings is derived from corporate savings. Although larger, traded corporations are often co-owned by foreign portfolio investors, current international accounting standards allocate all corporate savings to the host country. This paper suggests a framework to correct for this misleading attribution and applies this concept to Germany. For the years 2012 to 2020, our corrections retrospectively reduce German savings and consequently the German current account surplus by, on average, €11.5bn annually. This amounts to lowering Germany’s average official current account surplus (€226.6bn) across these years by approximately five percent.

description: Large quantities of social activity data, such as weekly web search volumes and the number of new infections with infectious diseases, reflect peoples' interests and activities. It is important to discover temporal patterns from such data and to forecast future activities accurately. However, modeling and forecasting social activity data streams is difficult because they are high-dimensional and composed of multiple time-varying dynamics such as trends, seasonality, and interest diffusion. In this paper, we propose D-Tracker, a method for continuously capturing time-varying temporal patterns within social activity tensor data streams and forecasting future activities. Our proposed method has the following properties: (a) Interpretable: it incorporates the partial differential equation into a tensor decomposition framework and captures time-varying temporal patterns such as trends, seasonality, and interest diffusion between locations in an interpretable manner; (b) Automatic: it has no hyperparameters and continuously models tensor data streams fully automatically; (c) Scalable: the computation time of D-Tracker is independent of the time series length. Experiments using web search volume data obtained from GoogleTrends, and COVID-19 infection data obtained from COVID-19 Open Data Repository show that our method can achieve higher forecasting accuracy in less computation time than existing methods while extracting the interest diffusion between locations.

description: In the first issue of the Portuguese Journal of Behavioral and Social Research, it was described the importance of calculating, indicating and interpreting the effect sizes for the differences between means of two groups. The PJBSR intends to continue to remind of the importance of reporting effect sizes for other statistical tests. The magnitude of the strength of the relationships was not indicated in the previous paper, and it may not be known that correlation is an effect size. Thus, this paper intends to provide some guidelines to the authors on the procedures for calculating the Pearson correlation coefficient and some correlation coefficients for special data (Spearman Rho, Kendall’s Tau, Point-biserial and biserial, Phi, Cramér’s V, and Eta).
For this purpose, the formulas, steps in the SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences), assumptions and precautions, classification of values and their interpretation will be presented. Since SPSS does not compute all the mentioned coefficients, five spreadsheets (3 ways of comparing correlations, point-biserial and biserial, and correction of correlations for samples < 60) were included in the article supplements.

This study’s goals were to test whether psychophysical estimates of maximum acceptable weight of lift (liftmax) differed between younger and older workers, and to examine potential explanatory factors. Twenty-four female workers (half 50 + years; half 20–32 years) self-adjusted a box’s mass to their perceived liftmax during four lifting tasks. Older workers’ liftmax values were significantly lower (by approximately 24%) than their younger counterparts. There were no age-related differences in resting heart rate, or peak joint angles and final heart rate during the lifting trials. However, the older group demonstrated lower grip strength (by 24%), and lower heart rate reserve during the trials (by 18%). These results question whether current maximum acceptable lifting weights based on psychophysical information are appropriately protective for female workers greater than 50 years of age. Practitioner Summary: This psychophysical study demonstrated that older female workers (aged 50–63 years) selected maximum acceptable lift masses that were (on average) 24% lower than younger workers (aged 20–32 years), which corresponded with lower grip strength and heart rate reserve. Current maximum acceptable lifting weights based on psychophysical information may not protect female workers greater than 50 years of age.
An Australian Model for Labour Supply and Welfare Participation in Two-Adult Households
Creators: name: Kalb, Guyonne
Publisher: name: UNSW Sydney
Year: 1998

description: In this paper, a simultaneous discrete choice model for welfare participation and labour supply of two-adult households is estimated. It is assumed that in addition to the indirect effect of welfare participation on utility, welfare participation also has a direct effect. The resulting net effect is unknown and may depend on personal characteristics. To account for the direct effect of welfare participation on utility, a parameter to measure the disutility associated with welfare participation is included in the utility function. This model allows for the fact that not all eligible people are participating in welfare. The results indicate that there is evidence of a significant disutility associated with welfare participation. From simulations, it is found that a change in the benefit withdrawal rate or the maximum benefit level does not seem to have a large effect on the labour supply of either adult.

description: The cut-to-length (CTL) timber harvesting method, prevalent in Northern Europe, requires well-trained professional staff and ergonomic, efficient machinery. This study investigated operators’ perspectives on ergonomics in CTL harvester work, focusing on the current use of assisting systems and the future visions of machine development. Interviews were conducted by phone with 20 CTL harvester machine operators. The interview method was a modified version of the traditional contextual interview design, allowing operators to work concurrently. The semi-structured interview framework consisted of two sections, the first part focused on the current harvesting system, while the second addressed operators’ perceptions of future advancements and ratings of future machine development visions. Results revealed that the most mature assisting systems were well utilized and functional, while newer systems’ utilization, usability, and function had more variation. Decision support tools, such as map layers, even when seldom used, were welcomed and instilled confidence in decision-making. Operators appreciated machinery and systems that reduce cognitive and physical strain, and they look forward to future advancements, such as technology that aids in assessing log quality. While independent work benefits from the operator’s motivation, a supportive work culture and high-quality management are crucial for promoting work expertise and the comprehensive utilization of machinery.
Problems and Prospects for Suburban Renewal: An Australian Perspective
Creators: name: Randolph, Bill

Publisher: name: UNSW Sydney
Year: 2008

description: This paper reviews discusses the emergence of a distinctive band of older suburban areas in Australian cities and contrast this to the debate in the US on “first Suburbs”, basically urban areas built in the period just before and in the twenty years after the 2 World War. The paper argues for a new policy focus on these areas in Australian cities.

description: Musical performances which involve school ensembles and music ensembles outside of the school community require a process of collaboration which can be beneficial to students, teachers and the community. Among these implications are several factors for specific exploration, including: personal and group social identity, life-long learning, developmental factors for school Music programmes, and intergenerational understanding. This study aims to investigate the implications of collaborative performance projects between school music ensembles and music ensembles from outside of the school community.

description: The synthesis and structural characterization of a tetrazine-based catecholamide (CAM) ligand, N,N′-bis(N″-(aminoethyl)-2,3-bis(hydroxy)benzamide)-1,2,4,5-tetrazine-3,6-diamine (5), were investigated. All compounds were characterized by 1H NMR spectroscopy, 13C NMR spectroscopy, and FTIR spectroscopy. The protonation equilibria of 5 and complexation capacities (log βpqr) of Cd2+, Co2+, and Cu2+ complexes of 5 were evaluated through potentiometric titration and spectrophotometric titration, respectively. Species independent pM value (=−log [M]free) was used to compare metal affinities with the final sequence Cu2+ > Cd2+ > Co2+. Results show that 5 has potential for heavy metal removal.

Social Change and Social Policy: Results from a Survey of Public Opinion
Creators: name: Saunders, Peter
name: Thomson, Cathy
name: Evans, Ceri
Publisher: name: UNSW Sydney
Year: 2000

description: Social policy is having to adapt to changes in the Australian economy and in Australian society more generally. The role of the state is receding and expectations of what it can achieve are being lowered at a time when the economy is generating increased material prosperity combined with growing inequalities and heightened insecurity. Against this background, there is a need to understand how the nature of public opinion is changing so that the degree of support for new (or existing) public programs can be ascertained. The federal government has foreshadowed social policy as its main priority over the next few years and is shaping the parameters of a new welfare state built upon the principles of self-reliance, incentives, affordability and mutual obligation. Yet rather little is known about how widely these principles are shared within the community, and how public opinion has changed in response to broader economic and social change.
