Oppression‐based stressors, posttraumatic stress symptoms, and self‐injurious thoughts and behaviors among a national sample of queer adolescents of color

Journal of Traumatic Stress, EarlyView.
Abstract Oppression‐based stressors (OBS; e.g., heterosexism‐based stressors) are associated with a higher risk of trauma‐related symptoms and self‐injurious thoughts and behaviors (SITB) for queer (e.g., lesbian, gay, bisexual) adolescents. However, prior research has yet to examine posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTSS) and SITB in the context of the ...

Reclaimed Well Sites on Salt Affected Soils: Electrical Conductivity and Sodium Adsorption Ratio as Plant Community Response Indicators

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Salt affected soils are common worldwide, resulting from natural causes and anthropogenic activities. Saline and sodic soils often occur in association with oil and gas production, impacting soil properties which can impede vegetation growth and development.

The Brand‐New Overestimation Effect: Materialism and Identity Misforecasting As Cognitive Barriers to Second‐Hand Consumption

Psychology &Marketing, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Despite the rise of circular fashion, buying brand‐new garments remains the societal norm. This research identifies a cognitive bias hindering sustainable consumption: identity misforecasting, by which consumers mispredict how much a brand‐new purchase will enhance their identity.

Adoption of projected mortality table for the Slovenian market using the Poisson log-bilinear model to test the minimum standard for valuing life annuities [PDF]

Economic and Business Review, 2015
With the introduction of Solvency II a consistent market approach to the valuation of insurance assets and liabilities is required. For the best estimate of life annuity provisions one should estimate the longevity risk of the insured population in ...

Factors on death trend-base on Lee-Carter model framework

, 2014
碩士長壽是一體兩面的事，一方面享受到壽命延長帶來的好處，但又同時面臨到風險，因為在老年時將會受到經濟及醫療的威脅。面臨長壽風險的現在，死亡率的預測變的重要，到底未來死亡率將如何變化，人類的壽命又會延長到怎樣的地步，我們希望藉由死亡率模型來解決，若是模型可以預測未來死亡率的趨勢，那就可以提前做好準備。 由以往的文獻指出，死亡率會受到總體經濟因素波動，由研究中發現死亡率與GDP的成長和失業率息息相關，而Lee-Carter 模型可以預測死亡率，如果將之結合是否能提升模型預測能力 ...
