Measuring technology-facilitated sexual violence and abuse: a scoping review protocol of existing measurements.

Introduction: Technology-facilitated sexual violence and abuse (TFSVA) refers to a range of behaviours in which digital technologies are used to facilitate both virtual and face-to-face sexual harm. The proliferation of smartphone usage and increasing internet penetration rates across the world have made it easier for individuals to become perpetrators and victims of TFSVA. Since empirical studies of TFSVA remain limited in the academic arena, and there is an absence of evidence to support the development of a standardised TFSVA measurement, this review aims to explore what TFSVA measurements are currently available and their potential use in measuring TFSVA.

Association between urgency urinary incontinence and cause-specific mortality: a population-based analysis.

Purpose: Urgency urinary incontinence (UUI) is a prevalent condition with significant implications for quality of life, yet its association with mortality was less examined by a few studies. Using data from representative U.S.

New Variable-Weight Optical Orthogonal Codes with Weights 3 to 5.

In optical networks, designing optical orthogonal codes (OOCs) with appropriate parameters is essential for enhancing the overall system performance. They are divided into two categories, constant-weight OOCs (CW-OOCs) and variable-weight OOCs (VW-OOCs), based on the number of distinct Hamming weights present in their codewords. This paper introduces a method for constructing VW-OOCs of length kp by using the structure of an integer ring and the Chinese Remainder Theorem.

A systematic review of the major risk factors for type two diabetes among Aboriginal Australians.

Background: To investigate the sociodemographic, anthropometric, biochemical, lifestyle and cardiometabolic risk factors associated with type 2 diabetes (T2D) among First Nations Australians.

Methods: A systematic review of prospective cohorts and cross-sectional studies was conducted. Electronic data sources (MEDLINE/PubMed, Embase, CINHAL, and PsycINFO) were searched for peer-reviewed articles until August 2023.

Measuring Technology-Facilitated Sexual Violence and Abuse in the Chinese Context: Development Study and Content Validity Analysis.

Background: Technology-facilitated sexual violence and abuse (TFSVA) encompasses a range of behaviors where digital technologies are used to enable both virtual and in-person sexual violence. Given that TFSVA is an emerging and continually evolving form of sexual abuse, it has been challenging to establish a universally accepted definition or to develop standardized measures for its assessment.

Objective: This study aimed to address the significant gap in research on TFSVA within the Chinese context.
