This exploratory study sought to gather detailed information about how domestic violence affects women's employment, specifically to identify the types of job interference tactics used by abusers and their consequences on women's job performance; identify and understand the context associated with disclosure about victimization to employers and coworkers; and identify the supports offered to em...

Children are living in most homes where there is domestic violence. ‘Research on children who witness family violence is a special case of counting the hard-to-count and measuring the hard-to measure...’ (Fantuzzo, Boruch, Beriana, Atkins & Marcus, 1997; p.121), so it is impossible to be definitive about the number of families affected. However, several studies have found that 85-90% of the tim...

• The Clark County Domestic Violence Court has improved the County's ability to deal with domestic violence perpetrators and victims. • Given the apparent increase in domestic violence cases in Clark County there may be a need to allocate additional resources to the court. • There is a need to conduct an outcome evaluation of the Clark County Domestic Violence Court, with a specific focus on th...

Maximizing science achievement is a critical target of educational policy and has important implications for national and international economic and technological competitiveness. Previous research has identified both science interest and socioeconomic status (SES) as robust predictors of science achievement, but little research has examined their joint effects. In a data set drawn from approxi...

  Abstract   Background: The polymorphic variants at codon 72 of the p53 gene, encoding either   proline or arginine at residue 72, produce marked change in the structure of p53.   From the evidence that the DNAmismatch repair system and p53 interact to maintain   genomic integrity, we hypothesized that the codon 72 variation may influence the   prevalence of microsatellite instability a featur...

the presence of van der waals (vdw) force can lead to mechanical instability in freestanding nano-scale actuators. most of the previous researches in this area have exclusively focused on modeling the instability in actuators with one actuating components. while, less attention has been paid to actuators consist of two actuating components. herein, the effect of the vdw force on the instability...

this paper investigates the relationship between macroeconomic instability and private investment of the iranian economy. the study uses a trivariate var(2)-garch(1,1)-in-mean with diagonal bekk approach to proxied inflation and exchange rate uncertainties as the main indicators of macroeconomic instability. moreover, bounds testing approach to level relationship applied to investigate the long...

in this study a nonlinear asymmetric instability analysis carried out to study primary atomization of annular liquid sheets emanating from the prefilming airblast atomizer using a perturbation method and potential flow assumption. in this direction, firstly governing equations derived according to potential flow assumption and conservation equations while dynamic and static boundary condition a...
