The Direct and Interactive Effects of Neighborhood Risk and Harsh Parenting on Childhood Externalizing and Internalizing BehaviorCallahan, Kristin 22 May 2006 (has links)
The present study investigated the direct and interactional effects of neighborhood disadvantage and harsh parenting on concurrent assessments and change in externalizing and internalizing behavior in toddlerhood. The study included 55 mothers and their children; families completed in-home assessments when children were 2 and 3 years of age. Mothers' reports were used to measure neighborhood disadvantage and children's problem behaviors. Observer ratings derived from a clean up task were used to measure harsh parenting. Four hierarchical regression equations were computed to test each study hypothesis. Results indicated marginally significant effects of harsh parenting on externalizing problems at age 2. Surprisingly, harsh parenting and exposure to neighborhood risk did not significantly predict increases in externalizing behavior problems from age 2 to 3. Harsh parenting was marginally related to children's internalizing problems under conditions of high levels of neighborhood disadvantage and predicted increases in internalizing over time. The theoretical implications of the results are discussed.

On the method of lines for singularly perturbed partial differential equationsMbroh, Nana Adjoah January 2017 (has links)
Magister Scientiae - MSc / Many chemical and physical problems are mathematically described by partial
differential equations (PDEs). These PDEs are often highly nonlinear and
therefore have no closed form solutions. Thus, it is necessary to recourse to
numerical approaches to determine suitable approximations to the solution
of such equations. For solutions possessing sharp spatial transitions (such as
boundary or interior layers), standard numerical methods have shown limitations
as they fail to capture large gradients. The method of lines (MOL)
is one of the numerical methods used to solve PDEs. It proceeds by the
discretization of all but one dimension leading to systems of ordinary di erential
equations. In the case of time-dependent PDEs, the MOL consists of
discretizing the spatial derivatives only leaving the time variable continuous.
The process results in a system to which a numerical method for initial value
problems can be applied. In this project we consider various types of singularly
perturbed time-dependent PDEs. For each type, using the MOL, the
spatial dimensions will be discretized in many different ways following fitted
numerical approaches. Each discretisation will be analysed for stability and
convergence. Extensive experiments will be conducted to confirm the analyses.

Efficient Variable Mesh Techniques to solve Interior Layer ProblemsMbayi, Charles K. January 2020 (has links)
Philosophiae Doctor - PhD / Singularly perturbed problems have been studied extensively over the past
few years from different perspectives. The recent research has focussed on the
problems whose solutions possess interior layers. These interior layers appear
in the interior of the domain, location of which is difficult to determine a-priori
and hence making it difficult to investigate these problems analytically. This
explains the need for approximation methods to gain some insight into the behaviour
of the solution of such problems. Keeping this in mind, in this thesis
we would like to explore a special class of numerical methods, namely, fitted
finite difference methods to determine reliable solutions. As far as the fitted
finite difference methods are concerned, they are grouped into two categories:
fitted mesh finite difference methods (FMFDMs) and the fitted operator finite
difference methods (FOFDMs). The aim of this thesis is to focus on the
former. To this end, we note that FMFDMs have extensively been used for
singularly perturbed two-point boundary value problems (TPBVPs) whose
solutions possess boundary layers. However, they are not fully explored for
problems whose solutions have interior layers. Hence, in this thesis, we intend firstly to design robust FMFDMs for singularly perturbed TPBVPs whose solutions
possess interior layers and to improve accuracy of these approximation
methods via methods like Richardson extrapolation. Then we extend these
two ideas to solve such singularly perturbed TPBVPs with variable diffusion
coefficients. The overall approach is further extended to parabolic singularly
perturbed problems having constant as well as variable diffusion coefficients. / 2023-08-31

The problems of teenage mothers in the southern Hho-Hho region of SwazilandDlamini, Lovegirl Sybil 28 February 2002 (has links)
A qualitative study was done to explore and describe the problems of teenage
mothers in the southern Hho-Hho region of Swaziland.
Ten teenage mothers wrote naive sketches and fourteen teenage mothers
were interviewed. The findings of the research indicated a lack of support for
the teenage mother in all the dimensions studies in this research which include
physical, social, cultural, emotional, spiritual, economical and educational.
This lack of support systems were found to be the paramount problem and
need urgent attention.
The vicious circle of lack of support, ignorance, interruption of education and
unplanned motherhood can only be addressed if all stakeholders including the
multidisciplinary team actively participate to prevent teenage pregnancy and
provide support for teenagers in general. / Nursing Science / M.A. (Nursing Science)

Higher Order Numerical Methods for Singular Perturbation Problems.Munyakazi, Justin Bazimaziki. January 2009 (has links)
<p>In recent years, there has been a great interest towards the higher order numerical methods for singularly perturbed problems. As compared to their lower order counterparts, they provide better accuracy with fewer mesh points. Construction and/or implementation of direct higher order methods is usually very complicated. Thus a natural choice is to use some convergence acceleration techniques, e.g., Richardson extrapolation, defect correction, etc. In this thesis, we will consider various classes of problems described by singularly perturbed ordinary and partial differential equations. For these problems, we design some novel numerical methods and attempt to increase their accuracy as well as the order of convergence. We also do the same for existing numerical methods in some instances. We ¯ / nd that, even though the Richardson extrapolation technique always improves the accuracy, it does not perform equally well when applied to different methods for certain classes of problems. Moreover, while in some cases it improves the order of convergence, in other cases it does not. These issues are discussed in this thesis for linear and nonlinear singularly perturbed ODEs as well as PDEs. Extrapolation techniques are analyzed thoroughly in all the cases, whereas the limitations of the defect correction approach for certain problems is indicated at the end of the thesis</p>
