Measuring the impact of intimate partner violence on the health of women in Victoria, Australia
No full textOBJECTIVE: Using burden of disease methodology, estimate the health risks of intimate partner violence (IPV) among women in Victoria, Australia
METHODS: We calculated population attributable fractions (from survey data on the prevalence of IPV and the relative risks of associated health problems in Australia) and determined health outcomes by applying them to disability-adjusted life year estimates for the relevant disease and injury categories for Victoria, Australia for 2001.
FINDINGS: For women of all ages IPV accounted for 2.9% (95% uncertainty interval 2.4-3.4%) of the total disease and injury burden. Among women 18-44 years of age, IPV was associated with 7.0% (95% uncertainty interval 6.4-9.5%) of the overall disease burden and was a lafger risk to health than risk factors traditionally included in burden of disease studies, such as raised blood pressure, tobacco use and increased body weight. Poor mental health contributed 73% and substance abuse 22% to the disease burden attributed to IPV.
CONCLUSION: Our findings suggest that IPV constitutes a significant risk to women's health. Mental health policy-makers and health workers treating common mental health problems need to be aware that IPV is an important risk factor. Future research should concentrate on evaluating effective interventions to prevent women being exposed to violence, and identifying the most appropriate mental health care for victims to reduce short-term and long-term disability
Librarians’ Use of Images on LibGuides and Other Social Media Platforms
No full textThis study compared the use of librarians’ profile images across Web platforms designed for librarian-patron communication. The primary focus was LibGuides profiles at a peer group of ARL institutions. Librarians are currently using a variety of options, including professional head shots, casual head shots, other photos, alternate images, avatars, and no image. Where possible, results were also analyzed by gender. For a smaller selection of libraries, LibGuides photos were compared with Facebook photos to see if different images were used for a professional versus a personal social media setting. This research was done in December 2010 and duplicated in May 2012 to track changes over time. The later study also reviews profile images for the smaller selection of libraries in LinkedIn and ALA Connect. The findings provide a baseline for further comparative research, could also inform individual librarians’ image choices based on patterns among their peers, and gives the profession a starting point for discussions about the types of images librarians use.Peer reviewedThis is an Author's Accepted Manuscript of an Article published in Journal of Web Librarianship (2013), available online at: http://www.tandfonline.com/10.1080/19322909.2013.812473
Landscapes of violence: women surviving family violence in regional and rural Victoria
No full textIn this research, family violence survivors have identified issues and barriers they have encountered, and have provided suggestions in regards to how both the criminal justice system and the broader Victorian community might assist survivors and help prevent family violence.
Overview
This project combines the findings of two studies undertaken by the Centre for Rural and Regional Law and Justice. Drawing on and extending the findings in Women\u27s experience of surviving family violence and accessing the Magistrate\u27s court in Geelong, Victoria (2013), this report extends the research in terms of geographic areas, issues covered and range of participants.
It examines the experiences of, and outcomes for, women survivors of family violence in regional and rural Victoria, considering their contact with, and perceptions of, government agencies (including Victoria Police, the Victorian Magistrate\u27s courts and the Department of Human Services) as well as private and community advocates (legal services, women\u27s services and family violence services) and healthcare professionals.
Through this research, survivors have identified issues and barriers they have encountered in escaping family violence, and have provided suggestions in regards to how both the criminal justice system and the broader Victorian community might assist survivors and help prevent family violence. As well as being informed by survivors, this publication includes insights provided by government and non-government practitioners and organisations who have offered their views on this report\u27s key findings and recommendations. In addition to the generous contributions of these participants, this report utilises relevant data and emerging research in an effort to identify best practice responses to family violence; improve access to justice, support and safety; and protect and promote women\u27s rights and entitlements

Mining e-mail content for author identification forensics
No full textWe describe an investigation into e-mail content mining for author identification, or authorship attribution, for the purpose of forensic investigation. We focus our discussion on the ability to discriminate between authors for the case of both aggregated e-mail topics as well as across different email topics. An extended set of e-mail document features including structural characteristics and linguistic patterns were derived and, together with a Support Vector Machine learning algorithm, were used for mining the e-mail content. Experiments using a number of e-mail documents generated by different authors on a set of topics gave promising results for both aggregated and multi-topic author categorisation
Comments on "Anderson Acceleration, Mixing and Extrapolation"
No full textThe Extrapolation Algorithm is a technique devised in 1962 for accelerating the rate of convergence of slowly converging Picard iterations for fixed point problems. Versions to this technique are now called Anderson Acceleration in the applied mathematics community and Anderson Mixing in the physics and chemistry communities; and these are related to several other methods extant in the literature. We seek here to broaden and deepen the conceptual foundations for these methods, and to clarify their relationship to certain iterative methods for root-finding problems. For this purpose, the Extrapolation Algorithm will be reviewed in some detail, and selected papers from the existing literature will be discussed, both from conceptual and implementation perspectives.Engineering and Applied SciencesAccepted Author Manuscriptfixed point problemsPicard iterationconvergence accelerationAnderson AccelerationAnderson Mixingroot-finding problem
Asymptotic convergence analysis and influence of initial guesses on composite Anderson acceleration
No full textAlthough Anderson acceleration AA(m) has been widely used to speed up nonlinear solvers, most authors are simply using and studying the stationary version of Anderson acceleration. The behavior and full potential of the non-stationary version of Anderson acceleration methods remain an open question. Motivated by the hybrid linear solver GMRESR (GMRES Recursive), we recently proposed a set of non-stationary Anderson acceleration algorithms with dynamic window sizes AA(m,AA(n)) for solving both linear and nonlinear problems. Significant gains are observed for our proposed algorithms but these gains are not well understood. In the present work, we first consider the case of using AA(m,AA(1)) for accelerating linear fixed-point iteration and derive the polynomial residual update formulas for non-stationary AA(m,AA(1)). Like stationary AA(m), we find that AA(m,AA(1)) with general initial guesses is also a multi-Krylov method and possesses a memory effect. However, AA(m,AA(1)) has higher order degree of polynomials and a stronger memory effect than that of AA(m) at the k-th iteration, which might explain the better performance of AA(m,AA(1)) compared to AA(m) as observed in our numerical experiments. Moreover, we further study the influence of initial guess on the asymptotic convergence factor of AA(1, AA(1)). We show a scaling invariance property of the initial guess x for the AA(1,AA(1)) method in the linear case. Then, we study the root-linear asymptotic convergence factor under scaling of the initial guess and we explicitly indicate the dependence of root-linear asymptotic convergence factors on the initial guess. Lastly, we numerically examine the influence of the initial guess on the asymptotic convergence factor of AA(m) and AA(m,AA(n)) for both linear and nonlinear problems.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository 'You share, we take care!' - Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public
