Childhood Physical Victimization and Relationship Dysfunction in Justice-Involved Women: A Path Analysis by Megan Foster, Emily Salisbury

“…The relationship between risk factors like childhood victimization, adult relationship dysfunction, self-esteem, and self-efficacy are less clear. (2) Methods: Using a sample of justice-involved women, the current study uses a path analysis to investigate the impact of childhood physical abuse on adult relationship dysfunction and if this relationship is mediated by self-esteem and/or self-efficacy. (3) Results: Childhood physical abuse was found to have a significant negative effect on self-esteem and self-efficacy as well as a significant positive effect on adult relationship dysfunction. …”

CAU²DNet: A Dual-Branch Deep Learning Network and a Dataset for Slum Recognition with Multi-Source Remote Sensing Data by Xi Lyu, Chenyu Zhang, Lizhi Miao, Xiying Sun, Xinxin Zhou, Xinyi Yue, Zhongchang Sun, Yueyong Pang

“…The efficient and precise identification of urban slums is a significant challenge for urban planning and sustainable development, as their morphological diversity and complex spatial distribution make it difficult to use traditional remote sensing inversion methods. Current deep learning (DL) methods mainly face challenges such as limited receptive fields and insufficient sensitivity to spatial locations when integrating multi-source remote sensing data, and high-quality datasets that integrate multi-spectral and geoscientific indicators to support them are scarce. …”
