Presented at the American Association of Behavioral and Social Sciences (AABSS), Las Vegas, NV. (2016). Understanding Latino perpetrators of Intimate Partner Violence.
This study examines how universal and culturally specific factors influence Latinas' experiences of sexual harassment. It integrates past research on sexual harassment and Latin culture to develop a model of the harassment-appraisal process for Latinas. A survey of 184 harassed Latinas assessed stimulus factors like harassment intensity and perpetrator characteristics, contextual factors like organizational tolerance, and individual factors like acculturation level. Path analyses suggested these factors relate to Latinas' phenomenological experiences of harassment severity and subsequent job dissatisfaction, withdrawal, health issues, and life dissatisfaction.

This document summarizes research on the relationship between denial and recidivism among treated sexual offenders. It finds that while some studies have found denial is not a predictor of recidivism, others have found links between denial and recidivism, particularly for high-risk offenders. The purpose of the current research being summarized is to examine how changes in levels of denial from pre-treatment to post-treatment relate to recidivism, treating denial as a dynamic rather than static measure. The methodology involves assessing denial at intake and discharge from a cognitive-behavioral treatment program for high-risk sexual offenders using a denial scale, and relating this to recidivism outcomes.

Nearly 1 in 5 Maine residents report being the victim of rape or attempted rape. Approximately 14,000 Maine residents are victims of unwanted sexual activity each year, and 39% of victims call crisis hotlines within the first month of an assault. Rape is considered a violent crime rather than solely a sexual one. While it occurs at similar rates regardless of location, there is a slight increase in college towns. Most victims know their perpetrator, and are often stalked beforehand. Prevention efforts focus on changing social and cultural norms using a public health model to address underlying societal factors.

The causes are complex but include power dynamics, sociocultural factors, substance abuse, and psychological issues. Supporting victims requires providing resources, safe spaces, and encouraging help-seeking through community education.
Effects Of Date Rape And The Need For Prevention Is Complete.njslone
Ā
The document discusses the effects of date rape and the need for prevention. It notes that date rape is a serious crime that is increasing and often goes unreported. Common factors that contribute to date rape include the use of drugs and alcohol by the victim and/or perpetrator. One major issue is the increasing availability of date rape drugs like Rohypnol through illegal online pharmacies. Prevention requires education programs to address myths and make clear that date rape is wrong regardless of the circumstances. Victims need support services and to know they are not alone.

TOPIC OF DISCUSSION: CENTRIFUGATION SLIDESHARE.pptxshubhijain836
Ā
Centrifugation is a powerful technique used in laboratories to separate components of a heterogeneous mixture based on their density. This process utilizes centrifugal force to rapidly spin samples, causing denser particles to migrate outward more quickly than lighter ones. As a result, distinct layers form within the sample tube, allowing for easy isolation and purification of target substances.

Context. The observation of several L-band emission sources in the S cluster has led to a rich discussion of their nature. However, a definitive answer to the classification of the dusty objects requires an explanation for the detection of compact Doppler-shifted BrĪ³ emission. The ionized hydrogen in combination with the observation of mid-infrared L-band continuum emission suggests that most of these sources are embedded in a dusty envelope. These embedded sources are part of the S-cluster, and their relationship to the S-stars is still under debate. To date, the question of the origin of these two populations has been vague, although all explanations favor migration processes for the individual cluster members. Aims. This work revisits the S-cluster and its dusty members orbiting the supermassive black hole SgrA* on bound Keplerian orbits from a kinematic perspective. The aim is to explore the Keplerian parameters for patterns that might imply a nonrandom distribution of the sample. Additionally, various analytical aspects are considered to address the nature of the dusty sources. Methods. Based on the photometric analysis, we estimated the individual HāK and KāL colors for the source sample and compared the results to known cluster members. The classification revealed a noticeable contrast between the S-stars and the dusty sources. To fit the flux-density distribution, we utilized the radiative transfer code HYPERION and implemented a young stellar object Class I model. We obtained the position angle from the Keplerian fit results; additionally, we analyzed the distribution of the inclinations and the longitudes of the ascending node. Results. The colors of the dusty sources suggest a stellar nature consistent with the spectral energy distribution in the near and midinfrared domains. Furthermore, the evaporation timescales of dusty and gaseous clumps in the vicinity of SgrA* are much shorter ( 2yr) than the epochs covered by the observations (ā15yr). In addition to the strong evidence for the stellar classification of the D-sources, we also find a clear disk-like pattern following the arrangements of S-stars proposed in the literature. Furthermore, we find a global intrinsic inclination for all dusty sources of 60 Ā± 20ā¦, implying a common formation process. Conclusions. The pattern of the dusty sources manifested in the distribution of the position angles, inclinations, and longitudes of the ascending node strongly suggests two different scenarios: the main-sequence stars and the dusty stellar S-cluster sources share a common formation history or migrated with a similar formation channel in the vicinity of SgrA*. Alternatively, the gravitational influence of SgrA* in combination with a massive perturber, such as a putative intermediate mass black hole in the IRS 13 cluster, forces the dusty objects and S-stars to follow a particular orbital arrangement.

Recent theoretical progress indicates that spacetime and gravity emerge together from the entanglement structure of an underlying microscopic theory. These ideas are best understood in Anti-de Sitter space, where they rely on the area law for entanglement entropy. The extension to de Sitter space requires taking into account the entropy and temperature associated with the cosmological horizon. Using insights from string theory, black hole physics and quantum information theory we argue that the positive dark energy leads to a thermal volume law contribution to the entropy that overtakes the area law precisely at the cosmological horizon. Due to the competition between area and volume law entanglement the microscopic de Sitter states do not thermalise at sub-Hubble scales: they exhibit memory effects in the form of an entropy displacement caused by matter. The emergent laws of gravity contain an additional ādarkā gravitational force describing the āelasticā response due to the entropy displacement. We derive an estimate of the strength of this extra force in terms of the baryonic mass, Newtonās constant and the Hubble acceleration scale a0 = cH0, and provide evidence for the fact that this additional ādark gravity forceā explains the observed phenomena in galaxies and clusters currently attributed to dark matter.
Wereport the study of a huge optical intraday flare on 2021 November 12 at 2 a.m. UT in the blazar OJ287. In the binary black hole model, it is associated with an impact of the secondary black hole on the accretion disk of the primary. Our multifrequency observing campaign was set up to search for such a signature of the impact based on a prediction made 8 yr earlier. The first I-band results of the flare have already been reported by Kishore et al. (2024). Here we combine these data with our monitoring in the R-band. There is a big change in the RāI spectral index by 1.0 Ā±0.1 between the normal background and the flare, suggesting a new component of radiation. The polarization variation during the rise of the flare suggests the same. The limits on the source size place it most reasonably in the jet of the secondary BH. We then ask why we have not seen this phenomenon before. We show that OJ287 was never before observed with sufficient sensitivity on the night when the flare should have happened according to the binary model. We also study the probability that this flare is just an oversized example of intraday variability using the Krakow data set of intense monitoring between 2015 and 2023. We find that the occurrence of a flare of this size and rapidity is unlikely. In machine-readable Tables 1 and 2, we give the full orbit-linked historical light curve of OJ287 as well as the dense monitoring sample of Krakow.
The cost of acquiring information by natural selectionCarl Bergstrom

Context. The early-type galaxy SDSS J133519.91+072807.4 (hereafter SDSS1335+0728), which had exhibited no prior optical variations during the preceding two decades, began showing significant nuclear variability in the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) alert stream from December 2019 (as ZTF19acnskyy). This variability behaviour, coupled with the host-galaxy properties, suggests that SDSS1335+0728 hosts a ā¼ 106Mā black hole (BH) that is currently in the process of āturning onā. Aims. We present a multi-wavelength photometric analysis and spectroscopic follow-up performed with the aim of better understanding the origin of the nuclear variations detected in SDSS1335+0728. Methods. We used archival photometry (from WISE, 2MASS, SDSS, GALEX, eROSITA) and spectroscopic data (from SDSS and LAMOST) to study the state of SDSS1335+0728 prior to December 2019, and new observations from Swift, SOAR/Goodman, VLT/X-shooter, and Keck/LRIS taken after its turn-on to characterise its current state. We analysed the variability of SDSS1335+0728 in the X-ray/UV/optical/mid-infrared range, modelled its spectral energy distribution prior to and after December 2019, and studied the evolution of its UV/optical spectra. Results. From our multi-wavelength photometric analysis, we find that: (a) since 2021, the UV flux (from Swift/UVOT observations) is four times brighter than the flux reported by GALEX in 2004; (b) since June 2022, the mid-infrared flux has risen more than two times, and the W1āW2 WISE colour has become redder; and (c) since February 2024, the source has begun showing X-ray emission. From our spectroscopic follow-up, we see that (i) the narrow emission line ratios are now consistent with a more energetic ionising continuum; (ii) broad emission lines are not detected; and (iii) the [OIII] line increased its flux ā¼ 3.6 years after the first ZTF alert, which implies a relatively compact narrow-line-emitting region. Conclusions. We conclude that the variations observed in SDSS1335+0728 could be either explained by a ā¼ 106Mā AGN that is just turning on or by an exotic tidal disruption event (TDE). If the former is true, SDSS1335+0728 is one of the strongest cases of an AGNobserved in the process of activating. If the latter were found to be the case, it would correspond to the longest and faintest TDE ever observed (or another class of still unknown nuclear transient). Future observations of SDSS1335+0728 are crucial to further understand its behaviour. Key words. galaxies: activeā accretion, accretion discsā galaxies: individual: SDSS J133519.91+072807.4
