Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)

description: In $D$-dimentional gravity on arbitrary curved backgrounds using proven methods conserved currents, divergences of antisymmetrical tensor densities (superpotentials), are constructed. These superpotentials have two remarkable properties: they depend in an essential way on second derivatives in the Lagrangian and are independent on divergences added to it. The conserved currents are thus particulary well adapted to the case of perturbations in Gauss-Bonett cosmological brane theories.

title: Imagining Albion: Fantasy, Enchantment and Belonging in Contemporary British Paganism
Creators: name: Purcell, Helen Maria
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2015

description: Contemporary Pagans in Britain often describe their experience as new practitioners of this emerging religion as that of ‘coming home’. This thesis examines cultural influences contributing to this sense of recognition, utilising the kinds of fantasy reading cited by Pagans as a lens, in order to focus upon key elements within Paganism that may offer explanation as to what that ‘home’ may be. These influences include the use of myth, fantasy literature, magic and connections with place and ancestry to produce individual and communal representations of belonging. Analysis of the research conducted results in the argument that the impetus connecting disparate enchanted arenas for Pagans is the imagining of community identities that can establish a sense of connection to an idealised multi-dimensional landscape often named as Albion. This place connects together both the primary and the secondary realms and all the persons that belong to it. Place is the integrating factor for Pagans within their enchanted worldview. Usage of Celtic and Norse mythologies is significant, as these stories enable the development of communities that root participants into this particular place. Fantasy literature, utilising myth, reinforces community while also inviting individual exploration of society, space and time. Myth and fantasy connect together past, present and future, to establish a sense of identity. Paganism in Britain represents desire for enchanted identity of place sourced in feelings of indigeneity and the imagining of 'coming home’.

 Notes
 Joharchi et al. (2014) described Hypoaspis elegans from specimens collected on Oryctes elegans Prell. (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) in Iran. We now provide some additional figures to support the original description (Figs. 16–23). Joharchi et al. (2014) stated that the tibia of the palp has 12 setae, but we now correct that to 14 setae. The holotype has been transferred from YIAU to JAZM (slide number ARS-20191222-9a) to make it more accessible.

title: Distinctiveness of Asian Driver and Western Garment Technologies in Uganda
Creators: name: Botchie, David
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2015

description: Over the past centuries, hard and soft technology transfer to developing countries had largely emanated from Western economies. It has been argued that these Western made hard and soft technologies are capital and skills intensive, rely on high-quality and pervasive infrastructure, and produce products for high-income consumers. Meanwhile, developing countries over the last two to three decades have witnessed a growing influx of hard and soft technologies from China and India (Asian Driver, AD, economies). The debate is that AD technologies are appropriate for the operating conditions in developing countries. This is because they are assumed to be labour intensive, tolerant to weak infrastructure, low cost, operate on small scale basis, accessible and less skills intensive. In order to validate (or otherwise) these assumptions, this research examines the distinctiveness and profitability of AD and Western hard and soft technologies using garment making machines in Uganda as a case study. I build this research on five key economic theories-the concept of hard and soft technology, technical choice, appropriate technology, technical change, the rise of the Asian drivers, technology transfer and diffusion. The study shows five important findings (I) Uganda’s landlocked nature makes the cost of transferring technologies into the country more expensive than for the country’s maritime neighbours-Kenya and Tanzania; (II) relative to the Western machines, the distribution of the AD garment making machines is wider in Uganda. This spread is a function of access to finance, information and the location of the machine operator; (III) the assumption that the AD technologies are tolerant to weak infrastructure, low cost, was validated; but contrary to my expectation, the frequent breakdown of the AD garment making machines makes them relatively skills intensive; (IV) relative to the Western garment making machines, the level of profitability of the AD machines is higher in rural areas but lower in urban areas. Thus, the wider spread of the AD garment making machines does not necessarily reflect their level of profitability; (V) relative to other Western made machines, the use of manual AD garment making machines is appropriate for increasing output, creating jobs and small scale enterprises at a minimum cost. China and India are respectively becoming the main sources of hard and soft technologies.

description: Economic, social and demographic situation is one of the key factors which exert influence on the way a family functions, specifically child-minding and upbringing. These fundamental family roles seem to be determined by the following variables: nationality, education, well-being, employment, number of children per family, family structure, cultural patterns existing in relevant societies, and political, economic and social changes. Hereunder macro-social conditions of a contemporary European family as well as its structural and functional characteristic are going to be presented.
title: Video Conferencing and Multimodal Expression of Voice: Children's Communication in a Second Language Using Skype
Creators: name: Austin, Nicholas James
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2015

description: This thesis focuses on how voice is experienced and expressed in a telecollaborative project using Skype to connect two groups of English language learners of primary age across two different countries. Voice is understood as a social semiotic phenomenon which takes as its base the ideas of Bakhtin (1986) and Goffman (1981) and is expanded to include multimodal forms of expression through the work of Kress (2003). This social semiotic notion of voice is synthesised with a framework of mediated action from Vygotsky (1978) and Wertsch (1991). The theoretical view of voice frames a small-scale qualitative study on how voice is expressed materially involving tools such as verbal language, body language, technology, and the spatial and temporal characteristics within which the communication takes place. As this is an area that has not been widely researched, a methodology had to be designed to analyse the video recorded data and a framework based on Scollon and Scollon’s (2003) concept of geosemiotics was developed. This method of analysis investigates how language is materially assembled through interaction with others in the physical world around us. It has been rooted in a social constructivist paradigm to shed light on how multimodal expressions of voice through Skype can support children’s second language use. The study shows that webcam-mediated online communication creates particular sets of conditions which affect the ways children are able to express their voice. Some points of divergence from familiar patterns of communication include how children use different spaces to negotiate different ways of being together, the multimodal ways in which children are able to express their voices and the diverse ways in which interpersonal distances can be represented and manipulated to manage conversations. The implications drawn out in the conclusion should initiate wider discussion in early childhood education and second language learning practice and research concerning the importance of adopting a multimodal perspective on how children express voice to support their communication in video conferencing environments.

 Notes
 Joharchi and Halliday (2011) described Hypoaspis larvicolus from specimens collected on the larva of Polyphylla sp. (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) in Iran. We now provide some additional illustrations to supplement the original description (Figs. 24–29). Joharchi and Halliday (2011) illustrated tibia IV with 11 setae, including ad2; however, among the three specimens that we reexamined (holotype and two paratypes), ad2 was present only in the holotype, with two paratypes having therefore only 10 setae on tibia IV (Fig. 27). In addition, they stated that podonotal setae s6 is located on the soft cuticle outside the dorsal shield, whereas it is actually inserted on the dorsal shield (Fig. 24). The illustrations provided by Joharchi and Halliday (2011) did not show all segments of legs, so we provide them here to clarify the identification of this species. Joharchi and Halliday (2011) also stated that the tibia of the palp has 12 setae, but we now correct that to 14 setae.

description: Systemic transformation in Poland had many dimensionp. In the context of the politics, it has resulted in democratization, pluralism, multiplicity of political parties and the relative openness of political recruitment. In the field of economic, transformation has led to the liquidation of the central control principles and subject actors’ behaviour to the market game. Correlated with them, but also with other, independent sources social changes opened the Polish society in the world and European trendp. There appeared the phenomenon previously unheard of in our society, or marginally present, countless people had to change their life strategies to function in the new reality. At the junction of planes constructing the sphere of interests in sociology and economics, there are various issues that seem interesting and important not only from the standpoint of science, but also the practice of social life. A cardinal issue here is unemployment, social exclusion and matching individuals to the realities of the labour market. It would result in the interest in the transformations taking place in the labour market, in the context of changes in various professions. Work process itself takes place mostly in a particular social milieu, the phenomenon of modern times up to now has not led to the emergence of large-scale task-oriented sets, which work activities are connected with human work in separation from other unitp. In addition, professions do not exist in a vacuum – their creations are addressed to individualp. In the course of daily life, each of us is in contact with representatives of various professions, tangible products of human work are with us at every step. Therefore, it seems important how we now assess the representatives of various professions, whether in the light of their status, we believe that they play their roles as they should. This issue our discussion is devoted to.

description: We study the stellar populations and assembly of the nearby spiral galaxy NGC 2903's bulge, bar, and outer disc using the VIRUS-P Exploration of Nearby Galaxies IFS survey. We observe NGC 2903 with a spatial resolution of 185 pc using the Mitchell Spectrograph's 4.25 arcsec fibres at the 2.7 Harlan J. Smith telescope. Bulge-bar-disc decomposition on the 2MASS Ks-band image of NGC 2903 shows that it has ~6%, 6%, and 88%, of its stellar mass in the bulge, bar, and outer disc, respectively, and its bulge has a low Sersic index of ~0.27, suggestive of a disky bulge. We perform stellar population synthesis and find that the outer disc has 46% of its mass in stars >5 Gyr, 48% in stars between 1 and 5 Gyr, and <10% in younger stars. Its stellar bar has 65% of its mass in ages 1-5 Gyr and has metallicities similar to the outer disc, suggestive of the evolutionary picture where the bar forms from disc material. Its bulge is mainly composed of old high-metallicity stars though it also has a small fraction of young stars. We find enhanced metallicity in the spiral arms and central region, tracing areas of high star formation as seen in the Halpha map. These results are consistent with the idea that galaxies of low bulge-to-total mass ratio and low bulge Sersic index like NGC 2903 has not had a recent major merger event, but has instead grown mostly through minor mergers and secular processes.

description: Cloud computing offers a variable-cost payment scheme that allows cloud customers to specify the price they are willing to pay for renting spot instances to run their applications at much lower costs than fixed payment schemes, and depending on the varying demand from cloud customers, cloud platforms could revoke spot instances at any time. To alleviate the effect of spot instance revocations, applications often employ different fault-tolerance mechanisms to minimize or even eliminate the lost work for each spot instance revocation. However, these fault-tolerance mechanisms incur additional overhead related to application completion time and deployment cost. We propose a novel cloud market-based approach that leverages cloud spot market features to provision spot instances without employing fault-tolerance mechanisms to reduce the deployment cost and completion time of applications. We evaluate our approach in simulations and use Amazon spot instances that contain jobs in Docker containers and realistic price traces from EC2 markets. Our simulation results show that our approach reduces the deployment cost and completion time compared to approaches based on fault-tolerance mechanisms.

description: Men in sub-Saharan Africa have low HIV testing rates. Social networks exert an important influence on men’s HIV-related behavior. We examined associations between network factors and HIV testing among men in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. Data are from the baseline assessment of an HIV prevention trial with 48 primarily male networks. Among 923 sexually active men, 52 % had ever tested for HIV. In a random effects logistic regression model, men in the network core were 1.50 times more likely (p <.05) to test than those in the periphery. Percentage of women in the network was associated with men’s increased HIV testing (AOR 4.24, p < .05). Perception of network HIV stigma was negatively associated with HIV testing (AOR 0.92, p <.01). Thinking at least one close friend tested for HIV was associated with increased testing (AOR 2.66, p < .001). Social network interventions are a promising approach for scaling up men’s HIV testing.

description: Today's school participates in the process of globalization, which resulted in, among other things, uniformity of styles, life migration, the need for intercultural dialogue. The school is now a social mini structure, in which the integration of representatives of different cultures takes place. Building the “me – foreigner” relationship at the level of education in relation to the child, allows to suppose that the knowledge devoid of stereotypes, an attitude of tolerance towards “ the foreigner” will become the ground of a well functioning society that understands cultural diversity as a natural social phenomenon. The school, therefore, is responsible for developing educational strategies that will allow for the adoption of multiculturalism and making the conditions for intercultural learning. This is possible with shaping a specific school culture understood as a process which creates the system of values, expectations, language codes and customs typical of a school. School culture in cultural diversity of its subjects has a chance for a special kind of creation, as a result of the inclusion in the system of its functioning and internal regulation the elements of foreign cultures. They enrich the school with a new symbolism, ritualism and build the identity of its subjects, their cultural competence, which in result creates a new quality, style and patterns of work.

description: We study the implications of adopting hyperbolic driver coordinate conditions motivated by geometrical considerations. In particular, conditions that minimize the rate of change of the metric variables. We analyze the properties of the resulting system of equations and their effect when implementing excision techniques. We find that commonly used coordinate conditions lead to a characteristic structure at the excision surface where some modes are not of outflow-type with respect to any excision boundary chosen inside the horizon. Thus, boundary conditions are required for these modes. Unfortunately, the specification of these conditions is a delicate issue as the outflow modes involve both gauge and main variables. As an alternative to these driver equations, we examine conditions derived from extremizing a scalar constructed from Killing's equation and present specific numerical examples.

description: The present article presents the most essential principles of the British constitution, namely its four most renowned principles: parliamentary sovereignty, the rule of law, a unitary state and a parliamentary government under a constitutional monarchy. As they have arisen over a centuries-long political process, their meanings and significance have caused controversy. Presenting them from the historical perspective provides a context for clarifying some of the myths that appear to have pervaded any discussion on the British constitution. The historical context and the division of the text into three major parts results from a view advocated by many theoreticians of the British state, who see its constitution as a product of the past cumulative experience rather than any definite political action. The article also attempts to explore the most important and contentious issues that have become focal points for current political discussion in the post-1997 reforms time, a period when the Labour party has introduced its reform agenda. It presents the first tangible outcomes of the introduced measures and their impact on the understanding of the traditional British constitution.
Inference of solar rotation from perturbations of acoustic mode eigenfunctions

Subjects: subject: Solar and Stellar Astrophysics (astro-ph.SR)

description: Today's picture of the internal solar rotation rate profile results essentially from helioseismic analyses of frequency splittings of resonant acoustic waves. Here we present another, complementary estimation of the internal solar rotation rate using the perturbation of the shape of the acoustic waves. For this purpose, we extend a global helioseismic approach developed previously for the investigation of the meridional flow \cite{schad11, schad12, schad13} to work on the components of the differential rotation. We discuss the effect of rotation on mode eigenfunctions and thereon based observables. Based on a numerical study using a simulated rotation rate profile we tailor an inversion approach and also consider the case of the presence of an additional meridional flow. This inversion approach is then applied to data from the MDI (Michelson Doppler Imager aboard the Solar Heliospheric Observatory (SoHO)) instrument and the HMI (Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager aboard the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO)) instrument. In the end, rotation rate profiles estimated from eigenfunction perturbation and frequency splittings are compared. The rotation rate profiles from the two different approaches are qualitatively in good agreement, especially for the MDI data. Significant differences are obtained at high latitudes $> 50^{\circ}$ and near the subsurface. The result from HMI data shows larger discrepancies between the different methods. We find that the two global helioseismic approaches provide complementary methods for measuring solar rotation. Comparing the results from different methods may help to reveal systematic influences that affect analyses based on eigenfunction perturbations, like meridional flow measurements.

title: Development As Freedom, Freedom As Exchanges: Understanding the Relationship Between Forms of Exchange and Human Capabilities in a Developmental Context: The Case of Old-Alagados in Salvador De Bahia (Brazil)
Creators: name: Vannier, Hélène Marie Élise
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2016

description: Since the dawn of the new millennium, poverty and inequalities have become a central concern of development. Both phenomena are now recognised as multidimensional - i.e. beyond their material aspect - and the more predominant Human Development paradigm now condemns people’s lack of (unequal) freedoms to be and do what they value, namely their capabilities (Sen, 2010: 93). Fighting poverty and inequalities represents a challenge: we need to understand how capabilities work and to define how to guarantee people’s basic (if not equal) opportunities to be and do what they value. This thesis argues that analysing the relation between capabilities and exchanges in their substantive form - i.e. using a comprehensive theoretical definition and empirical approach - is key to such endeavour. In a theoretical approach, the thesis adopts a Polanyian understanding of forms of integration (Polanyi, 1957b) in order to categorize exchanges as discrete patterns of distribution. Moreover, the thesis conceptually frames the normative understanding of social dynamics shaping poverty and inequalities through a combination of Sen’s capability approach (CA) and Bourdieu’s sociology of practice and theory of social reproduction. In an empirical approach, focusing on a disadvantaged yet dynamic neighbourhood of Salvador (Brazil), this doctoral research explores different exchanges in four formal and informal groups, and their members’ relative capabilities. As a result, the thesis offers a new categorisation of forms of exchange. It argues that the characteristics of such forms, but also additional structural, cultural and agency dynamics reproduce the people’s unequal opportunities. Those are respectively: specific combinations of forms of exchange, the understanding of their role, suitability and value, and the different control and claim people may exert over exchanges or the empowerment they experience through their exchange. Those elements matter since they influence the unequal empowerment of exchanges and shape their role in the (re)production of poverty and inequalities. The thesis finally discusses the array of possible exchanges, their actual understanding, articulation and the negotiation of their use for the (unequal) empowerment of the population, and more importantly, their potential for challenging practices and situations of disentitlement.

description: Research on network-level influences on HIV risk behaviors among young men in sub-Saharan Africa is severely lacking. One significant gap in the literature that may provide direction for future research with this population is understanding the degree to which various HIV risk behaviors and normative beliefs cluster within men’s social networks. Such research may help us understand which HIV-related norms and behaviors have the greatest potential to be changed through social influence. Additionally, few network-based studies have described the structure of social networks of young men in sub-Saharan Africa. Understanding the structure of men’s peer networks may motivate future research examining the ways in which network structures shape the spread of information, adoption of norms, and diffusion of behaviors. We contribute to filling these gaps by using social network analysis and multilevel modeling to describe a unique dataset of mostly young men (n= 1,249 men and 242 women) nested within 59 urban social networks in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. We examine the means, ranges, and clustering of men’s HIV-related normative beliefs and behaviors. Networks in this urban setting varied substantially in both composition and structure and a large proportion of men engaged in risky behaviors including inconsistent condom use, sexual partner concurrency, and intimate partner violence perpetration. We found significant clustering of normative beliefs and risk behaviors within these men’s social networks. Specifically, network membership explained between 5.78 and 7.17% of variance in men’s normative beliefs and between 1.93 and 15.79% of variance in risk behaviors. Our results suggest that social networks are important socialization sites for young men and may influence the adoption of norms and behaviors. We conclude by calling for more research on men’s social networks in Sub-Saharan Africa and map out several areas of future inquiry.

description: The author of this article attempts to describe a man enslaved by a political system on the basis of Night Patrol by Mikhail Kuraev. The author describes Polubolotov’s professional duties and the people he met in his nearly 40-year-long career as an agent of NKVD. It is clearly emphasised that the main character’s attitude towards his duties and prisoners is a reflection of his limitless belief in the communist propaganda, which makes him a weak-willed and enslaved executor of the orders of other people. The author points out that the form of monologue chosen by the writer gives the story the quality of an intimate confession.

description: Research on network-level influences on HIV risk behaviors among young men in sub-Saharan Africa is severely lacking. One significant gap in the literature that may provide direction for future research with this population is understanding the degree to which various HIV risk behaviors and normative beliefs cluster within men’s social networks. Such research may help us understand which HIV-related norms and behaviors have the greatest potential to be changed through social influence. Additionally, few network-based studies have described the structure of social networks of young men in sub-Saharan Africa. Understanding the structure of men’s peer networks may motivate future research examining the ways in which network structures shape the spread of information, adoption of norms, and diffusion of behaviors. We contribute to filling these gaps by using social network analysis and multilevel modeling to describe a unique dataset of mostly young men (n= 1,249 men and 242 women) nested within 59 urban social networks in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. We examine the means, ranges, and clustering of men’s HIV-related normative beliefs and behaviors. Networks in this urban setting varied substantially in both composition and structure and a large proportion of men engaged in risky behaviors including inconsistent condom use, sexual partner concurrency, and intimate partner violence perpetration. We found significant clustering of normative beliefs and risk behaviors within these men’s social networks. Specifically, network membership explained between 5.78 and 7.17% of variance in men’s normative beliefs and between 1.93 and 15.79% of variance in risk behaviors. Our results suggest that social networks are important socialization sites for young men and may influence the adoption of norms and behaviors. We conclude by calling for more research on men’s social networks in Sub-Saharan Africa and map out several areas of future inquiry.

description: The purpose of the article “Psychosocial and living functioning of people with disabilities determined by multiple sclerosis (MS)” is to popularize living condition (social, psychological and family) of people with multiple sclerosis (MS), who live in the Bialski District. The study showed how many obstacles and constraints a person suffering from MS must overcome every day. It is comforting that there are established in the local community associations and foundations to help particular groups of people in need. Among these there could be distinguished POPTSR established in Biała Podlaska, which actively helps, reaching people living in villages in remote areas in the Bialski District.

description: Using the tight-binding linear muffin-tin orbitals method, the soft x-ray fluorescence K-emission spectra of boron in MgB_2, excited close to the absorption edge, are estimated. In the calculations the angle of incidence between the direction of the incoming photon and the hexagonal axis of the specimen is 60 degrees and 75 degrees. Comparison with experiment is possible in the former case where good agreement is found. Furthermore, another resonant feature below the Fermi energy is predicted for the larger angle. This feature can be related to the excitations to the antibonding B pi-band in the neighbourhood of the L-H line in the Brillouin zone.

description: Tourism has proven to be a significant income earner for some of the less developed countries of the world, and interestingly, many of these countries are or were major agrarian economies. This paper will serve to highlight the opportunities for linkages between agriculture and tourism, provide examples to enhance local entrepreneurial involvement, while making recommendations for overcoming the challenges to the sustainable development of agro-tourism. As consumer taste change and alternative forms of tourism develop to respond to the new green reality and the demand trends for the 4 E's- entertainment, excitement, education and the environment, there is a natural link between agriculture and tourism. The paper cautions against marketing myopia if the full benefits of linking tourism with agriculture are to be derived. Opportunities need not be limited to selling agricultural produce or livestock to tourism service providers. Issues of quality, quantity and *innovation must be addressed if linkages are to be maximized and profitability sustained. The requisite decision support tools, education and training, partnerships, and the legal and institutional framework must be provided in order to enhance a destination's overall competitiveness in agro-tourism.

description: In the recent work [A.~Yamaguchi et. al, Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 123}, 113201 (2019)] Cd has been identified as an excellent candidate for a lattice clock. Here, we carried out computations needed for further clock development and made an assessment of the higher-order corrections to the light shift of the $5s^2\, ^1\!S_0$--$5s5p\, ^3\!P_0^o$ clock transition. We carried out calculations of the magnetic dipole and electric quadrupole polarizabilities and linear and circular hyperpolarizabilities of the $5s^2\, ^1\!S_0$ and $5s5p\, ^3\!P_0^o$ clock states at the magic wavelength and estimated uncertainties of these quantities. We also evaluated the second-order Zeeman clock transition frequency shift.

description: Social network influence on young people’s sexual behavior is understudied in sub-Saharan Africa. Previous research identified networks of mostly young men in Dar es Salaam who socialize in “camps”. This study describes network characteristics within camps and their relationship to young men’s concurrent sexual partnerships. We conducted surveys with a nearly complete census of ten camp networks (490 men and 160 women). Surveys included name generators to identify camp-based networks. Fifty seven percent of sexually active men (n = 471) reported past year concurrency, measured using the UNAIDS method. In a multivariable model, men’s individual concurrency was associated with being a member of a closer knit camp in which concurrency was the normative behavior. Younger men who had older members in their networks were more likely to engage in concurrency. Respondent concurrency was also associated with inequitable personal gender norms. Our findings suggest strategies for leveraging social networks for HIV prevention among young men.

 Notes
 Joharchi and Halliday (2011) described H. melolonthae from specimens collected on the adult of Melolontha melolontha (L.) (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) in Iran. We now provide some additional figures to support the original description (Figs. 35–38). Joharchi and Halliday (2011) stated that podonotal setae r2 is absent, but it is present (Fig. 35); seta r3, in contrast, is indeed absent as stated in the original description. They stated that the tibia of the palp has 12 setae, but we now correct that to 14 setae.

description: Men have lower rates of HIV testing and higher rates of AIDS-related mortality compared to women in sub-Saharan Africa. To assess whether there is an opportunity to increase men’s uptake of testing by correcting misperceptions about testing norms, we compare men’s perceptions of their closest friend’s HIV testing behaviors with the friend’s actual testing self-report using a unique dataset of men sampled within their social networks (n = 59) in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. We examine the accuracy and bias of perceptions among men who have tested for HIV (n = 391) and compare them to the perceptions among men who never tested (n = 432). We found that testers and non-testers did not differ in the accuracy of their perceptions, though non-testers were strongly biased towards assuming that their closest friends had not tested. Our results lend support to social norms approaches designed to correct the biased misperceptions of non-testers to promote men’s HIV testing.
