The Relationship Between The Clinical Scales Of The Personality Assessment Inventory And Bmi Reduction In Bariatric Surgery Patients, Douglas Lytz

Doctor of Psychology (PsyD)

Clinicians are now using various objective personality measures and other assessment tools during comprehensive evaluations to help make recommendations to surgeons and clinical staff about patient suitability for weight loss surgery. Previous studies suggest that specific demographics and clinical elevations on objective personality assessments may predict the reduction of body mass index (BMI) in patients after bariatric surgery (Oltmanns et al., 2020; Hoyt & Walter, 2022a). This …

The study's findings call on educators and policymakers to …

Enhancing English Language Proficiency At Vocational Education Schools Through The Implementation Of Language Learning Strategies, Nadhim Madhloom Hashim Ali

Uruk Journal of Human Sciences

The current study explores the impact of teaching English language in a vocational education context by evaluating the implementation of language learning strategies (LLS) by using a TOEFL mock test. To accomplish the aims of this study, 80 students from Vocational Education Schools (VES) were engaged to respond to the Oxford Strategy Inventory for Language Learning (OSILL). The findings indicate that the differences between gender and the six parts of OSILL reveal that neither males nor females are statistically significant in any of these strategies when employed in academic English learning contexts; The significance value is p<0.05. A strong positive correlation exists between the two parts of OSILL strategies and English language proficiency. Memory strategies significantly correlate with the language proficiency of the (TOEFL).

Optical Lens Attack On Deep Learning Based Monocular Depth Estimation, Ce Zhou, Qiben Yan, Daniel Kent, Guangjing Wang, Ziqi Zhang, Haydar Radha

Computer Science Faculty Research & Creative Works

Monocular Depth Estimation (MDE) plays a crucial role in vision-based Autonomous Driving (AD) systems. It utilizes a singlecamera image to determine the depth of objects, facilitating driving decisions such as braking a few meters in front of a detected obstacle or changing lanes to avoid collision. In this paper, we investigate the security risks associated with monocular vision-based depth estimation algorithms utilized by AD systems. By exploiting the vulnerabilities of MDE and the principles of optical lenses, we introduce 𝐿𝑒𝑛𝑠𝐴𝑡𝑡𝑎𝑐𝑘, a physical attack that involves strategically placing optical lenses on the camera of an autonomous vehicle to manipulate the perceived …

Uruk Journal of Human Sciences

Al-Muthanna desert occupies the largest part of the governorate's area, as it is located in the southern part of Iraq and is located within the dry climate. Therefore, water is of great importance in it, as Al-Muthanna desert receives small amounts of rain in specific seasons and also suffers from evaporation, so the lost water is more than the effective rain. Consequently, the climatic water balance is of great importance to know the imports of surface and groundwater, which depends on the relationship between the amount of rainfall and the amounts of evaporation/transpiration, through which the surplus or deficit
