Background: Tobacco use and quit attempts are two key indicators of the Global Adult Tobacco Survey (GATS) that assess quit attempts among current as well as former tobacco users. The relevant data have inherent policy implications for tobacco cessation programme evaluation. This study aimed to review the concepts of quit attempt assessment and quantifying invalid responses considering GATS-India data. Materials and Methods: GATS assessment of tobacco use and quit attempts were examined in the current literature. Two categories of invalid responses were identified by stratified analysis of the duration of last quit attempt among current users and duration of abstinence among former users. Category A included absolute invalid responses when time-frame of assessment of current tobacco use and less than former tobacco use were violated. Category B included responses that violated the unit of measurement of time. Results: Current daily use, current less than daily use and former use in GATS were imprecisely defined with overlapping of time-frame of assessment. Overall responses of 3,102 current smokers, 4,036 current smokeless users, 1,904 former smokers and 1,343 former smokeless users were analyzed to quantify invalid responses. Analysis indicated overall 21.2% (category A: 7.32%; category B: 17.7%) and 22.7% (category A: 8.05%; category B: 18.1%) invalid responses among current smokers and smokeless users respectively regarding their duration of last quit attempt. Similarly overall 6.62% (category A: 4.7%; category B: 2.3%) and 10.6% (category A: 8.6%; category B: 3.5%) invalid responses were identified among former smokers and smokeless users respectively regarding their duration of abstinence. Conclusions: High invalid responses for a single assessment are due to the imprecise definition of current use, former use and quit attempt; and failure to utilize opportunity of direct data entry interface use during the survey to validate responses instantly. Redefining tobacco use and quit attempts considering an appropriate timeframe would reduce invalid responses.

심리적 본질주의에 따르면 사람들은 어떤 범주를 규정하는 숨겨진 본질 속성(essential properties)이 있으며 이것이 그 범주가 가지는 전형적 속성들의 인과적 원인이라는 믿음을 가진다(Gelman, 2003; Hirschfeld, 1996; Medin & Ortony, 1989). 이러한 본질주의적인 믿음은 범주가 단순히 상관을 가진 속성의 집합("clusters of correlated features")이라고 제안한 Rosch (1973, 1978)의 주장에 의문을 제기한다. 속성의 통계적 상관, 즉 가족 유사성만을 가진 범주와 달리 본질화된 범주는 범주간 경계가 매우 뚜렷하며 범주내 개체들이 동질적으로 여겨질 가능성이 높기 때문이다(Gelman, 2003; Prentice & Miller, 2007). 본질주의적 믿음이 범주 표상(범주간 경계, 범주내 응집성)에 미치는 영향을 확인하기 위해 두 개의 실험을 실시했다. 참가자들은 조건에 따라 가족 유사성 범주와 본질화된 범주를 학습한 다음 범주화 과제(실험 1)와 범주 예시들의 빈도 추정 과제(실험 2)를 실시했다. 그 결과 본질화된 범주에서 범주간 경계가 더 뚜렷해졌으며 범주내 응집성이 높아졌다. 이 결과는 범주 속성의 단서 타당도와 범주 타당도가 증가하여 발생한 것으로 본질주의적인 믿음이 범주구조의 거시적인 표상에 중요한 영향을 미친다는 것을 보여준다.

The purpose of this study was to examine developmental trends in script-based organization strategy and relative influences of age, use of organizational strategy and category typicality of lists on children's recall. The subjects were 120 infant children, -40 four years old, 40 five years old, 40 six years old. All subjects were received 1 of 2 slot-filler lists of items differing in category representativness. Data were analysed by two-way Anova, Duncan's post-hoc test and Multiple Regression analysis. The major findings were as follows. 1. Recall and use of organizational strategy were increased with age. 2. At each age level, children showed high level of recall and organization strategy for category typical than category atypical. 3. Children's age, use of organizational strategy and category typicality of list significantly predicted children's recall. 42% of the variance of children's recall was explained by three variables. The relative influence of age to the prediction of children's recall was the strongest.

Using a base-point free version of the infinite symmetric product we define a fibrewise infinite symmetric product for any fibration $E\;\longrightarrow\;B$. The construction works for any commutative ring R with unit and is denoted by $R_f(E)\;l\ongrightarrow\;B$. For any pointed space B let $G_I(B)\;\longrightarrow\;B$ be the i-th Ganea fibration. Defining $M_R-cat(B):= inf{i\midR_f(G_i(B))\longrihghtarrow\;B$ admits a section} we obtain an approximation to the Lusternik-Schnirelmann category of B which satisfies .g.a product formula. In particular, if B is a 1-connected rational space of finite rational type, then $M_Q$-cat(B) coincides with the well-known (purely algebraically defined) M-category of B which in fact is equal to cat (B) by a result of K.Hess. All the constructions more generally apply to the Ganea category of maps.

For a pomonoid S, let us denote Pos-S the category of S-posets and S-poset maps. In this paper, we consider the slice category Pos-S/B for an S-poset B, and study some categorical ingredients. We first show that there is no non-trivial injective object in Pos-S/B. Then we investigate injective objects with respect to the class of regular monomorphisms in this category and show that Pos-S/B has enough regular injective objects. We also prove that regular injective objects are retracts of exponentiable objects in this category. One of the main aims of the paper is to draw attention to characterizing injectivity in the category Pos-S/B under a particular case where B has trivial action. Among other things, we also prove that the necessary condition for a map (an object) here to be regular injective is being convex and present an example to show that the converse is not true, in general.

The amount of incoming e-mails is increasing rapidly due to the wide usage of Internet. We often group e-mails into categories for maintaining e-mail efficiently. However reading the email messages and classifying them is still tedious task. Moreover, the number of e-mails and manual classifying is increasing everyday. So, automatic e-mail classification is important techniques. In this paper, we propose a multi-way e-mail classification method that uses PCA for automatic category generation and dynamic category hierarchy for re-organizing e-mail categories. It classifies a huge amount of receiving e-mail messages automatically, efficiently, and accurately.

In this paper, we propose a document classification model using Web documents as a part of the training corpus in order to resolve the imbalance of the training corpus size per category. For the purpose of retrieving the Web documents closely related to each category, the proposed document classification model calculates the matching score between word features and each category, and generates a Web search query by combining the higher-ranked word features and the category title. Then, the proposed document classification model sends each combined query to the open application programming interface of the Web search engine, and receives the snippet results retrieved from the Web search engine. Finally, the proposed document classification model adds these snippet results as Web documents to the training corpus. Experimental results show that the method that considers the balance of the training corpus size per category exhibits better performance in some categories with small training sets.

Where S is a pomonoid, let Pos-S be the category of S-posets and S-poset maps. We start off by characterizing the pomonoids S for which all projectives in this category are either generators or free. We then study the notions of regular injectivity and weakly regularly d-injectivity in this category. This leads to homological classification results for pomonoids. Among other things, we get find relationships between regular injectivity in the slice category Pos-S/BS, for any S-poset BS, and generators and cyclic projectives in Pos-S.

The category of pairs is the category whose objects are maps between two based spaces and morphisms are pair-maps from one object to another object. To study the self-homotopy equivalences in the category of pairs, we use covariant functors from the category of pairs to the group category whose objects are groups and morphisms are group homomorphisms. We introduce specific subgroups of groups of self-pair homotopy equivalences and put these groups together into certain sequences. We investigate properties of these sequences, in particular, the exactness and split. We apply the results to two special functors, homotopy and homology functors and determine the suggested several subgroups of groups of self-pair homotopy equivalences.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the changes in infant-mother interactions and to measure infant-mother interaction, mutuality, and reciprocity at the 2nd and 6th postnatal monthperiods. Infant-mother interaction was assessed in the mornings, afternoons, and evenings in the 2nd and 6th postnatal months, by filming unstructured free play in the home and analyzing 28 of these infant-mother film recordingsusing two trained observers. This study can be summarized in five points. First, the separate frequency distribution of each category in MIIBR's maternal behavior was as follows: the frequencies of vocalization category, the kinesthetic exercise & physical contact category, the physical caregiving category, and theuse of play tool category. These all showed changes in the 6th postnatal month compared to the 2nd postnatal month. Second, the separate frequency distribution of each category in MIIBR's infant behavior was as follows: the frequencies of physical behavior category, the vocalization category, and the play behavior category. These also all showed changes in the 6th postnatal month compared to the 2nd postnatal month. Third, the mutuality and reciprocity of mother interaction decreased in the 2nd postnatal month compared to the 6th postnatal month. Fourth, mutuality and reciprocity in the infant interaction increased in 2nd postnatal month compared to the 6th postnatal month. Fifth, mutuality and reciprocity in the infant-mother interaction increased in 2nd postnatal month compared to the 6th postnatal month. In conclusion, it is evident that infant-mother interactions change over time. This study bears particular significance in setting a foundation for the theoretical basis of the interaction between infant and mother by observation.
