With increasing mammogram rates, identifying attributes of non-attending women entails going beyond differences in demographic groups to reveal complex interactions among personality attributes. In this study, we analyzed survey data from 474 women aged 41 years and older using decision trees. By incorporating personality, religiousness, and age, we were able to correctly classify 42.9 percent of non-attenders compared to 4.4 percent with logistic regression analysis. Our findings suggest that incorporating personality and religiousness attributes may increase non-attender identification. Furthermore, the simple profile generated by decision trees provides a clear map useful for intervention planning.

Traditional auditing has failed to control the jeopardy of increased financial frauds. Gradually, forensic auditing has been employed by organizations to control such frauds. Nonetheless, there is a dearth of studies examining the effects of forensic auditing on financial frauds. In particular, the impact of forensic auditing on financial frauds in Bangladesh is not examined. This study attempts to fill this gap. Using survey data of 182 respondents, this study applied logistic regression analysis. Findings indicate that forensic auditing has significant positive effects on the detection and prevention of financial fraud occurrences in the banking sector of Bangladesh. Findings also indicate that forensic auditing is competent to diminish financial frauds. Therefore, it is recommended to adopt forensic auditing in the banking sector of Bangladesh.

The contact between Asturian and Spanish in the region of Asturias (Spain) has led to the variable incorporation of linguistic features of Asturian into the Spanish of Asturian speakers. Among these features is the use of the masculine singular morpheme /-u/, as opposed to Spanish /-o/. In this study I provide a quantitative analysis of the linguistic and extra-linguistic factors that govern the alternation between the Spanish and the Asturian morphemes, analyzing production data from 24 speakers from Gijón. The results of the mixed logistic regression analysis show that the selection of one vowel over the other is constrained by the adjacent phonological context and the variant used in the previous form. The use of /-u/ is also correlated with certain socio-demographic groups, such as male speakers, speakers whose occupations have low prestige and those who have a first order social tie with their interlocutor.
