This study describes validation of a screening model for Referrals to Support with Hidden Disabilities in Higher Education. A screening model describes the screening procedures implemented by HEIs in all 8 public universities in Bosnia and Herzegovina. In the study, 5073 bachelor students were participated. There were 1371 (27%) male and 3702 (73%) female participants. In this research, the questionnaire for students in higher education was used. In order to validate the screening model, a multivariate method of exploratory factor analysis was applied. The intercorrelation of manifest variables was calculated, and on the basis of the obtained coefficients, the variables were selected for further analysis. The variables were subjected by calculating the coefficient of the inner consistency of the Cronbach alpha, and an estimate of the reliability of the variables was made by calculating the interstellar statistics. On the basis of the obtained results of factor analysis, a set of 28 manifest variables have been reduced to 15 variables that have satisfactory reliability and internal agreement, and it is justifiable to use them as a screening model. Findings support the requirement for a reliable and valid standardized assessment procedure for HEIs, which would provide equitable access to an initial diagnosis.

Objetivo: Identificar caracteristicas de personalidade das mulheres vitimas de violencia domestica. Metodo: Pesquisa qualitativa, realizada no ano de 2015, no municipio de Sao Jeronimo, Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil. Participaram quatro mulheres que sofreram violencia domestica, com idades variando entre 27 e 45 anos, avaliadas atraves da tecnica de Rorschach, de acordo com Vaz (1997/2014). Resultados: Os principais achados atestam que todas as participantes da pesquisa apresentam prejuizo na capacidade de adaptacao e dificuldades nos relacionamentos interpessoais. A capacidade de suportar conflitos e tensoes esta prejudicada pelas condicoes intelectuais, que esta relacionada a percepcao da realidade e as habilidades intelectivas. Apresentam, de acordo com os dados, componentes compativeis com alguns transtornos de personalidade relacionados a caracteristicas depressivas, obsessivas, de ansiedade e identidade de genero. Conclusao: Os resultados apontaram que a violencia domestica deixa marcas profundas no psiquismo da mulher.

Objectives: Anthropometric traits are closely related to health improvement as well as motor skills, psychological and sociological development. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the differences in anthropometric traits of high school students and trend of changes among them. Methods: The anthropometric parameters including weight, height and body mass index (BMI) were measured in 60 male and female students, aged 17 ± 0.5 years. Descriptive statistics and t-independent test was used to analyze the data. Results: The results suggested that there were statistically significant differences in the height (t = 7.40; P < 0.000) and body weight (t = 3.62; P < 0.001) of male and female students, while no significant difference was found in BMI values in the two groups (t = -0.33, P > 0.001). In addition, it was suggested that 68% of male and female high school with mean BMI of 25 and 13 respectively, had normal nutrition status. 14.6% of male and 10.5% of female students had malnutrition. 21% of female students and 17% of male students had an excessive malnutrition. Conclusions: Although, today’s development is moving towards the advancement of technology, the life style especially nutrition status and physical activity needs to be seriously considered. However, mush research is needed to understand the effective factors on life style of different age groups especially students who are so involved in threaten of hypokinesian lifestyle.

In this paper, we present high-performance resistance switching memory devices (RRAM) with a SiO2 -like active layer formed from spin-on hydrogen silsesquioxane (HSQ). Our metal–insulator–metal devices exhibit switching voltages of less than 1 V, cycling endurance of more than 107 cycles without failure, electroforming below 2 V at room temperature, and retention time of resistance states of more than 104 seconds at temperatures up to 120 °C. We also report arrays of nanoscale HSQ-based RRAM devices in the form of multilayer nanopillars with switching performance comparable to that of our thin film devices. We are able to address and program individual RRAM nanopillars using conductive atomic force microscopy. These promising results, coupled with a much easier fabrication method than traditional ultrahigh vacuum-based deposition techniques, make HSQ a strong candidate material for the next-generation memory devices.
