Group participants challenged both facilitators, but especially the female facilitators. Facilitator strategies toward behavior change included softening direct challenges (female facilitators) and mobilizing the shared category of men (male facilitators).

Despite their significant presence, Asian communities have often been overlooked in discussions of crime and victimization, including intimate partner violence (IPV). Due to limited attention from scholars and policymakers, the extent of IPV within Asian communities remains poorly understood, as does the availability and effectiveness of intervention programs designed to prevent IPV. To address this gap, we aimed to assess the current status of IPV intervention programs among Asian communities in the United States and provide recommendations for future research and policy based on our findings. We analyzed a total of nine studies-seven peer-reviewed journal articles and two dissertations. Most studies employed quantitative methods, utilizing multiple data collection techniques, including surveys, in-depth interviews, and (quasi-)experimental designs. Our findings identified five different types of interventions, primarily targeting community members and leaders to prevent IPV among Asian women. These interventions employed (quasi-)experimental designs with pre- and post-measurements and assessed outcomes multiple times. However, none of the studies justified their chosen number of assessments or the duration of the follow-up period. We discuss the policy implications of our findings and outline a future research agenda to improve IPV intervention efforts within Asian communities.","PeriodicalId":54211,"journal":{"name":"Trauma Violence & Abuse","volume":"106 1","pages":"15248380251375916"},"PeriodicalIF":6.4,"publicationDate":"2025-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145357738","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To inform planning efforts, site selection analyses were conducted using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), a widely recognized method within the Spatial Multi-Criteria Decision-Making (S-MCDM) framework, integrated with Geographic Information Systems (GIS). The proposed model facilitates the identification of optimal locations for filling stations in accordance with zoning regulations. As a result of the analysis, a total of 3,445 suitable areas were identified within the city of Trabzon, ensuring adequate spatial distribution across all districts.

Romantic love is hypothesized to serve as a commitment device contributing to marital satisfaction. Interestingly, the relationship between romantic love and the number of children is complex and has received limited empirical attention, especially in diverse cultural contexts. However, some evidence from traditional societies suggests a positive correlation. Guided by Sternberg's Triangular Theory of Love, we examined the relationship between the number of children and romantic love and its three components (passion, intimacy, commitment) across 25 populations. Based on prior research, we hypothesized that the number of children would be positively associated with passion and commitment but negatively associated with intimacy. Our global sample included 3,187 married or engaged individuals (55.9% women), aged 18-99 years (M = 38.69, SD = 10.55), from 25 countries. Contrary to our predictions, having children, but not the number of children, was negatively related to overall romantic love, intimacy, and passion, but unrelated to commitment. These findings suggest that parenthood may be linked to reduced romantic love, particularly in terms of intimacy and passion, across diverse cultural settings. This pattern may reflect challenges commonly associated with the transition to parenthood, including increased stress, fatigue, financial strain, and work-life conflict, which can diminish partners' sense of closeness and attraction. Overall, the results underscore the importance of supporting couples' romantic relationships during the parenting stage to help sustain emotional and physical connection under the demands of family life.</p>","PeriodicalId":47797,"journal":{"name":"Human Nature-An Interdisciplinary Biosocial Perspective","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145356384","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

First, the spatial local outlier measure (SLOM) algorithm is used to calculate the land subsidence anomalies, then the relationship between the land subsidence anomalies and the influencing factors is modeled using the Random Forest algorithm, and finally the contribution of multiple factors to land subsidence anomalies is analysed using the SHapley Additive exPlanation (SHAP) method. The research dataset includes land subsidence monitoring and related socio-economic factors from 2017 to 2019 in Cangzhou City, Hebei Province, and the effects of remote sensing of nighttime lighting, precipitation, DEM, slope, and aspect on land subsidence are determined. The results show that the anomalies of land subsidence in Cangzhou City account for about 10% of all detected points, which are mainly distributed in the west and south of Cangzhou.

The study relies on an analysis of the multiple cause-of-death information available on all death certificates for 2017, used to classify morbid processes leading to death into three categories: simple, multi-morbid, and ill-defined. The results show disproportionately high rates of multi-morbid processes in the US compared with the other three countries. Multi-morbid processes contribute 51% of the US gap in life expectancy at birth with Italy, 73% with Spain, and 75% with France, with a particular concentration at ages 20-85 years.

Even small scenic areas with low visitation rates experienced virus transmission after more than one day of latency.
