Abstract Background Preventing sexual violence in nightlife environments is a pervasive issue across many countries. This study explored the associated impact of worker awareness raising/bystander training programme (STOP-SV) on trainees’ myth acceptance and readiness confidence to intervene. Methods : Pre- post-test (n = 118), 3-month follow-up 38) trainee surveys were implemented three countr...

Extended Abstract In many situations, the quality of a process can be characterized by a single continuous random variable, which is usually assumed to follow a normal distribution. However, it is increasingly common for processes to be characterized by several, usually correlated, variables. (Kim and Reynolds 2005) Multivariate control charts are widely used to monitor industrial processes (Ma...

Half of the 10 million children who die annually in the world are from Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). The reasons are known, but lack of will and resources avoid the development of sustainable policies. Associated factors to the high infant mortality rate (IMR) in SSA have been investigated in this research. An ecological multi-group study was designed comparing rates within SSA. The dependent varia...

We propose a new approach to monitor an overall mean shift of a bi-variate quality control system. To do this, we first define beliefs on deciding whether the quality characteristics are in out-of-control state. Then, by taking new observations, in an iterative approach we update the belief of each quality characteristics being out-of-control. This task is performed using a recursive method and...

killifish (aphanius sophiae) of the cheshme-ali of damghan and shour river of eshteherd were studied and compared from morphological point of view. for morphometric studies, 34 truss morphometric measurements and  10 traditional  measurements  were made for each individual. nine meristic traits were counted. multi-variate analysis of variance (manova) revealed a significant different between va...

PURPOSE The aim of the present study was to investigate associations between skeletal muscle mass, body fat and training characteristics with running times in master athletes (age > 35 years) in half-marathon, marathon and ultra-marathon. METHODS We compared skeletal muscle mass, body fat and training characteristics in master half-marathoners (n=103), master marathoners (n=91) and master ult...

 This paper considers the problem of estimating the population mean Ybar of the study variate Y using information on different parameters such as population mean $(bar{X})$, coefficient of variation $(C_x)$, kurtosis  $beta_{2(x)}$, standard deviation $(S_x)$ of the auxiliary variate x and on the correlation coefficient, $rho$, between the study variate $Y$ and the auxiliary variate $...
