- In July 2012, as the four ground based gamma-ray telescopes of the H.E.S.S. (High Energy Stereoscopic System) array reached their tenth year of operation in Khomas Highlands, Namibia, a fifth telescope Look its first data as part of the system. This new Cherenkov detector, comprising a 614.5 m(2) reflector with a highly pixelized camera in its focal plane, improves the sensitivity of the current array by a factor two and extends ifs energy domain down to a few Lens of GeV. The present part l of the paper gives a detailed description of the fifth H.E.S.S. telescope's camera, presenting the details of both the hardware and the software, emphasizing the main improvements as compared to previous H.E.S.S. camera technology.

Violence against children in Latin America and the Caribbean: What do available data reveal about prevalence and perpetrators?

- To describe the prevalence of recent physical, sexual, and emotional violence against children 0 - 19 years of age in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) by age, sex, and perpetrator.A systematic review and analysis of published literature and large international datasets was conducted. Eligible sources from first record to December 2015 contained age-, sex-, and perpetrator-specific data from LAC. Random effects meta-regressions were performed, adjusting for relevant quality covariates and differences in violence definitions.Seventy-two surveys (2 publications and 70 datasets) met inclusion criteria, representing 1 449 estimates from 34 countries. Prevalence of physical and emotional violence by caregivers ranged from 30% - 60%, and decreased with increasing age. Prevalence of physical violence by students (17% - 61%) declined with age, while emotional violence remained constant (60% - 92%). Prevalence of physical intimate partner violence (IPV) ranged from 13% - 18% for girls aged 15 - 19 years. Few or no eligible past-year estimates were available for any violence against children less than 9 years and boys 16 - 19 years of age; sexual violence against boys (any age) and girls (under 15 years); IPV except for girls aged 15 - 19 years; and violence by authority figures (e.g., teachers) or via gangs/organized crime.Past-year physical and emotional violence by caregivers and students is widespread in LAC across all ages in childhood, as is IPV against girls aged 15 - 19 years. Data collection must be expanded in LAC to monitor progress towards the sustainable development goals, develop effective prevention and response strategies, and shed light on violence relating to organized crime/gangs.

Who perpetrates violence against children? A systematic analysis of age-specific and sex-specific data

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Objective: The epidemiology of violence against children is likely to differ substantially by sex and age of the victim and the perpetrator. Thus far, investment in effective prevention strategies has been hindered by lack of clarity in the burden of childhood violence across these dimensions. We produced the first age-specific and sex-specific prevalence estimates by perpetrator type for physical, sexual and emotional violence against children globally. Design: We used random effects meta-regression to estimate prevalence. Estimates were adjusted for relevant quality covariates, variation in definitions of violence and weighted by region-specific, age-specific and sex-specific population data to ensure estimates reflect country population structures. Data sources: Secondary data from 600 population or school-based representative datasets and 43 publications obtained via systematic literature review, representing 13 830 estimates from 171 countries. Eligibility criteria for selecting studies: Estimates for recent violence against children aged 0-19 were included. Results: The most common perpetrators of physical and emotional violence for both boys and girls across a range of ages are household members, with prevalence often surpassing 50%, followed by student peers. Children reported experiencing more emotional than physical violence from both household members and students. The most common perpetrators of sexual violence against girls aged 15-19 years are intimate partners; however, few data on other perpetrators of sexual violence against children are systematically collected internationally. Few age-specific and sex-specific data are available on violence perpetration by schoolteachers; however, existing data indicate high prevalence of physical violence from teachers towards students. Data from other authority figures, strangers, siblings and other adults are limited, as are data on neglect of children. Conclusions: Without further investment in data generation on violence exposure from multiple perpetrators for boys and girls of all ages, progress towards Sustainable Development Goals 4, 5 and 16 may be slow. Despite data gaps, evidence shows violence from household members, peers in school and for girls, from intimate partners, should be prioritised for prevention. Trial registration number: PROSPERO 2015: CRD42015024315.

Influence of intraluminal thrombus topology on AAA passive mechanics

Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- An intraluminal thrombus (ILT) is found in most AAAs of clinically relevant size. Even though some studies seem to indicate a protective role of the ILT against AAA rupture, there is still great controversy on this regard. In addition, patient-specific AAA models are generated from gated medical images in which the artery is under pressure. Identification of the AAA zero pressure geometry would allow for a more realistic estimate of the aneurysmal wall mechanics and a better understanding of the role of the ILT. This study looks into the influence of the ILT on patient specific AAA accounting for the zero pressure geometry. Ten patient specific AAA of similar maximum diameter (4.8-5.2cm) and ILT volume were considered. For the stress analysis, the arterial wall is modeled as an anisotropic hyperelastic solid. Our results suggest that the geometrical configuration of the ILT relative to the arterial wall may be an influential factor not only on the ensuing peak wall stress, but also on its location within the lesion. The effects of the ILT topology are enhanced when the zero pressure configuration of the lesion is accounted for, where as the location of the peak wall stress in the lesion corresponds to the region of minimal ILT thickness. These suggest that the topology of the ILT, which greatly influence the zero-pressure geometry of the AAA, affects the stress field at the systolic pressure on AAA.
