Religious Coping Style and Cultural Worldview are Associated with Suicide Ideation Among African American Adults
No full textThe purpose of this study was to examine whether specific religious coping styles and cultural worldview would be associated with thoughts of suicide given higher levels of stress in a community-based sample of African American adults. African American men and women (n = 134) completed measures of religious coping, cultural worldview, stressful life events, depression symptoms, and suicide ideation. Higher ratings of suicide ideation were observed for African Americans who endorsed a more self-directing religious coping style. The self-directing religious coping was more frequently endorsed by participants who identified with a more Eurocentric cultural worldview that espouses an individualist philosophy. Together, these findings provide some insight to how religious coping and culture are related to suicide vulnerability for African Americans who are not in clinical care
Complexes of lutein with bovine and caprine caseins and their impact on lutein chemical stability in emulsion systems: Effect of arabinogalactan
No full textLutein is an important xanthophyll carotenoid with many benefits to human health. Factors affecting the application of lutein as a functional ingredient in low-fat dairy-like beverages (pH 6.0–7.0) are not well understood. The interactions of bovine and caprine caseins with hydrophobic lutein were studied using UV/visible spectroscopy as well as fluorescence. Our studies confirmed that the aqueous solubility of lutein is improved after binding with bovine and caprine caseins. The rates of lutein solubilization by the binding to bovine and caprine caseins were as follows: caprine αS1-II-casein 34%, caprine αS1-I-casein 10%, and bovine casein 7% at 100 μM lutein. Fluorescence of the protein was quenched on binding supporting complex formation. The fluorescence experiments showed that the binding involves tryptophan residues and some nonspecific interactions. Scatchard plots of lutein binding to the caseins demonstrated competitive binding between the caseins and their sites of interaction with lutein. Competition experiments suggest that caprine αS1-II casein will bind a larger number of lutein molecules with higher affinity than other caseins. The chemical stability of lutein was largely dependent on casein type and significant increases occurred in the chemical stability of lutein with the following pattern: caprine αS1-II-casein \u3e caprine αS1-I-casein \u3e bovine casein. Addition of arabinogalactan to lutein-enriched emulsions increases the chemical stability of lutein-casein complexes during storage under accelerated photo-oxidation conditions at 25°C. Therefore, caprine αS1-II-casein alone and in combination with arabinogalactan can have important applications in the beverage industry as carrier of this xanthophyll carotenoid (lutein)
Transmuted New Weibull-Pareto Distribution and its Applications
Get PDFthis article, a generalization of the new Weibull-Pareto (NWP) distribution is derived. The quadratic equation (QRTM rank transmutation map) studied by Shaw and Buckley (2007), has been used to develop the generalization. The proposed distribution includes as special cases with the new Weibull-Pareto distribution (NWP), transmuted Weibull distribution (TW), transmuted Rayleigh (TR) distribution and transmuted exponential (TE) distribution. Various structural properties of the new distribution, including of moments, quantiles, moment generating function, mean deviations, reliability analysis, order statistics and Renyi entropy are derived. The maximum likelihood estimation method has been proposed for the estimation of the parameters of the TNWP distribution. The usefulness of the derived model is illustrated using two data sets and it is proved that TNWP distribution is a better distribution than other distributions based on some goodness of fit measures. Therefore, we conclude that the new model attracts applications in several areas such as engineering, survival data, economics and others
Homomorphism of Fuzzy Multigroups and Some of its Properties
Get PDFIn a way, the notion of fuzzy multigroups is an application of fuzzy multisets to the theory of group. The concept of fuzzy multigroups is a new algebraic structure of uncertainty which generalizes fuzzy groups. Fuzzy multigroup is a multiset of X x [0; 1] satisfying some set of axioms, where X is a classical group. In this paper, we propose the concept of homomorphism in fuzzy multigroups context. Some homomorphic properties of fuzzy multigroups are explicated. Again, we show that the homomorphic image and homomorphic preimage of fuzzy multigroups are also fuzzy multigroups. Finally, we present some homomorphic properties of normalizer of fuzzy multigroups
Ultimate boundedness and periodicity results for a certain system Of third-order nonlinear Vector delay differential equations
Get PDFIn the last years, there has been increasing interest in obtaining the sufficient conditions for stability, instability, boundedness, ultimately boundedness, convergence, etc. For instance, in applied sciences some practical problems concerning mechanics, engineering technique fields, economy, control theory, physical sciences and so on are associated with third, fourth and higher order nonlinear differential equations. The problem of the boundedness and stability of solutions of vector differential equations has been widely studied by many authors, who have provided many techniques especially for delay differential equations. In this work a class of third order nonlinear non-autonomous vector delay differential equations is considered by employing the direct technique of Lyapunov as basic tool, where a complete Lyapunov functional is constructed and used to obtain sufficient conditions that guarantee existence of solutions that are periodic, uniformly asymptotically stable, uniformly ultimately bounded and the behavior of solutions at infinity. In addition to being for a more general equation, the obtained results here are new even when our equation is specialized to the forms previously studied and include many recent results in the literature. Finally, an example is given to show the feasibility of our results

No full textIn this paper, utilizing convex functions, we first establish new refinements of Hermite- Hadamard-Fejer type inequalities via Riemann-Liouville fractional integral operators. A generalized refinements of Hermite-Hadamard-Fejer type inequalities for fractional integral operators with exponential kernel is also obtained. The results given in this paper would provide extensions of those presented in earlier studies
