This paper is devoted to analyze the dynamics of plane symmetric gravitational collapse as well as energy density inhomogeneity in f(G) gravity. The field equations are constructed for dissipative isotropic source and Darmois junction conditions are used to discuss the process of collapse. We use Misner–Sharp mechanism to develop dynamical equation and couple it with transport equation to explore the impact of gravitational force on the collapsing rate. For constant f(G) model, we conclude that the rate of collapse slows down. Finally, we discuss the relationship between the Weyl tensor and physical quantities.

Assuming a system with spherical symmetry in f(R) gravity filled with dissipative charged and anisotropic matter, we study the impact of density inhomogeneity and local anisotropy on the gravitational collapse in the presence of charge. For this purpose, we evaluated the modified Maxwell field equations, Weyl curvature tensor, and the mass function. Using Misner–Sharp mass formalism, we construct a relation between the Weyl tensor, density inhomogeneity, and local anisotropy. Specifically, we obtain the expression of modified Tolman mass which helps to analyze the influence of charge and dark source terms on different physical factors, also it helps to study the role of these factors on gravitational collapse.

In this paper, model of gravitational collapse of anisotropic compact stars in a new theory of [Formula: see text] gravity has been developed. The author considers the modified gravity model of [Formula: see text] to investigate a physically acceptable model of gravitational collapse of anisotropic compact stars. First, the author presents a brief review of the development of field equations of gravitational collapse in [Formula: see text] gravity for a particular interior metric for compact stars. Then analytical solutions for various physical quantities of collapsing anisotropic compact stars in [Formula: see text] gravity have been developed. By analyzing plots of various physical parameters and conditions, it is shown that the model is physically acceptable for describing the gravitational collapse of anisotropic compact stars in [Formula: see text] gravity.

We study the final outcome of gravitational collapse resulting from the plane symmetric charged Vaidya spacetime. Using the field equations, we show that the weak energy condition is always satisfied by collapsing fluid. It is found that the singularity formed is naked. The strength of singularity is also investigated by using Nolan's method. This turns out to be a strong curvature singularity in Tipler's sense and hence provides a counter example to the cosmic censorship hypothesis.

In this paper, we extend the notion of complexity for the case of nonstatic self-gravitating spherically symmetric structures within the background of modified Gauss–Bonnet gravity (i.e. [Formula: see text] gravity), where [Formula: see text] denotes the Gauss–Bonnet scalar term. In this regard, we have formulated the equations of gravity as well as the relations for the mass function for anisotropic matter configuration. The Riemann curvature tensor is broken down orthogonally through Bel’s procedure to compose some modified scalar functions and formulate the complexity factor with the help of one of the scalar functions. The CF (i.e. complexity factor) comprehends specific physical variables of the fluid configuration including energy density inhomogeneity and anisotropic pressure along with [Formula: see text] degrees of freedom. Moreover, the impact of the dark source terms of [Formula: see text] gravity on the system is analyzed which revealed that the complexity of the fluid configuration is increased due to the modified terms.

This paper investigates the dynamics of anisotropic viscous spherical star under the effects of electromagnetic field for a radially moving observer relative to the matter distribution, i.e. a tilted observer. We formulate relationship between tilted and non-tilted quantities using the Einstein–Maxwell field equations. The dynamical equations and equations for the Weyl tensor are constructed to examine the inhomogeneities in the fluid configuration. It is found that different factors like heat radiation, shear viscosity, electric charge and in particular congruence of the tilted observer, affect the energy density inhomogeneity of the spherical star. Finally, we study stability of the system with non-tilted frame in the presence of charge.

This article has two purposes: (a) to examine the relationship between intercultural power relations and the widespread practice of accent discrimination and (b) to underscore the ramifications of accent discrimination both for the individual and for global society as a whole. First, authors review social theory regarding language and group identity construction, and then go on to integrate more current studies linking accent bias to sociocultural variables. Authors discuss three examples of intercultural accent discrimination in order to illustrate how this link manifests itself in the broader context of international relations (i.e., how accent discrimination is generated in situations of unequal power) and, using a review of current research, assess the consequences of accent discrimination for the individual. Finally, the article highlights the impact that linguistic discrimination is having on linguistic diversity globally, partially using data from the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and partially by offering a potential context for interpreting the emergence of practices that seek to reduce or modify speaker accents.

Abstract Administrators and supervisors face daily challenges over issues such as program funding, service fees, correct coding procedures, and the ever-changing healthcare regulations. Receiving equitable reimbursement for speech-language pathology and audiology services necessitates an understanding of federal coding and reimbursement systems. This tutorial provides information pertaining to two major healthcare coding systems and explains the relationship of these systems to clinical documentation, the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule and equitable reimbursement. An explanation of coding edits and coding modifiers is provided for use in those occasional atypical situations when the standard use of procedural coding may not be appropriate. Also included in this tutorial is a brief discussion of the impact that the Medicare Improvements for Patients and Providers Act of 2008 (HR 6331 Medicare Improvements for Patients and Providers Act [MIPPA], 2008) has had on the valuation of speech-language pathology procedure codes.

Humans are social animals; consequently, a lack of social ties affects individuals’ health negatively. However, the desire to belong differs between individuals, raising the question of whether individual differences in the need to belong moderate the impact of perceived social isolation on health. In the present study, 77 first-year university students rated their loneliness and health every 6 weeks for 18 weeks. Individual differences in the need to belong were found to moderate the relationship between loneliness and current health state. Specifically, lonely students with a high need to belong reported more days of illness than those with a low need to belong. In contrast, the strength of the need to belong had no effect on students who did not feel lonely. Thus, people who have a strong need to belong appear to suffer from loneliness and become ill more often, whereas people with a weak need to belong appear to stand loneliness better and are comparatively healthy. The study implies that social isolation does not impact all individuals identically; instead, the fit between the social situation and an individual’s need appears to be crucial for an individual’s functioning.

Abstract. Background: Self-esteem is a major contributor to risk for repeated suicide attempts. Prior research has shown that awareness of stigma is associated with reduced self-esteem among people with mental illness. No prior studies have examined the association between self-esteem and stereotype awareness among individuals with past suicide attempts. Aims: To understand the relationship between stereotype awareness and self-esteem among young adults who have and have not attempted suicide. Method: Computerized surveys were administered to college students (N = 637). Linear regression analyses were used to test associations between self-esteem and stereotype awareness, attempt history, and their interaction. Results: There was a significant stereotype awareness by attempt interaction (β = –.74, p = .006) in the regression analysis. The interaction was explained by a stronger negative association between stereotype awareness and self-esteem among individuals with past suicide attempts (β = –.50, p = .013) compared with those without attempts (β = –.09, p = .037). Conclusion: Stigma is associated with lower self-esteem within this high-functioning sample of young adults with histories of suicide attempts. Alleviating the impact of stigma at the individual (clinical) or community (public health) levels may improve self-esteem among this high-risk population, which could potentially influence subsequent suicide risk.

Background: We study the impact of suicide-exclusion periods, common in life insurance policies in Australia, on suicide and accidental death rates for life-insured individuals. If a life-insured individual dies by suicide during the period of suicide exclusion, commonly 13 months, the sum insured is not paid. Aims: We examine whether a suicide-exclusion period affects the timing of suicides. We also analyze whether accidental deaths are more prevalent during the suicide-exclusion period as life-insured individuals disguise their death by suicide. We assess the relationship between the insured sum and suicidal death rates. Methods: Crude and age-standardized rates of suicide, accidental death, and overall death, split by duration since the insured first bought their insurance policy, were computed. Results: There were significantly fewer suicides and no significant spike in the number of accidental deaths in the exclusion period for Australian life insurance data. More suicides, however, were detected for the first 2 years after the exclusion period. Higher insured sums are associated with higher rates of suicide. Conclusions: Adverse selection in Australian life insurance is exacerbated by including a suicide-exclusion period. Extension of the suicide-exclusion period to 3 years may prevent some “insurance-induced” suicides – a rationale for this conclusion is given.
