Global measurement of intimate partner violence to monitor Sustainable Development Goal 5
BMC Public Health, 2022 Background One third of women experience intimate partner violence (IPV) and potential sequelae. Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 5.2—to eliminate violence against women, including IPV—compels states to monitor such violence.

Frontiers in Political Science, 2021 Although measurement invariance is widely considered a precondition for meaningful cross-sectional comparisons, substantive studies have often neglected evaluating this assumption, thereby risking drawing conclusions and making theoretical ...

Approximation of the invariant measure of stable SDEs by an Euler–Maruyama scheme
Stochastic Processes and their Applications, 2023 Accepted by SPA. This version is a little different version from the published one, in which we add in the appendix a shorter proof for a Bismut-Elworthy-Li formula suggested by a very careful and knowledgeable ...

Measurement invariance of the moral vitalism scale across 28 cultural groups.
PLoS ONE, 2020 Moral vitalism refers to a tendency to view good and evil as actual forces that can influence people and events. The Moral Vitalism Scale had been designed to assess moral vitalism in a brief survey form.

Best Approximation, Invariant Measures, and Fixed Points
Journal of Approximation Theory, 2000 Let \((X,\|\cdot\|)\) be a Banach space, \(M\) be a closed convex subset of \(X\) and \(p\in X\setminus M.\) For a given semigroup \(S\) let \({\mathfrak{S}}=\{T_s: s\in S\}\) be a family of nonexpansive mappings \(T_s:M\cup\{p\}\rightarrow M\cup\{p\},\) such that \(T_s\circ T_t=T_{ts}\), \(t,s\in S.\) Under additional conditions the authors show that ...

Semidefinite approximations of invariant measures for polynomial systems
Discrete and Continuous Dynamical Systems - B, 2019 We consider the problem of approximating numerically the moments and the supports of measures which are invariant with respect to the dynamics of continuous- and discrete-time polynomial systems, under semialgebraic set constraints. First, we address the problem of approximating the density and hence the support of an invariant measure which is ...
