Measurement invariance of the higher-order model of Preschool Anxiety Scale (PAS) across child age, gender, parental anxiety, and pandemic period in England by Creswell, C, Reardon, T, Spence, S, Zhou, S

“…Using data from a sample of 2,221 children and their parents/carers in England, this study investigated the measurement invariance of the higher-order model of the PAS across child age (4-6 years vs. 6-7 years), gender (girls vs. boys), parental anxiety (low vs. high level), and children’s living circumstances (before vs. after the removal of COVID-19 restrictions). Our findings demonstrated the good factor structure, internal consistency, and convergent validity of the higher-order model of the PAS in all subgroups and supported its configural, metric, scalar invariance across these subgroups. …”

Cryptography in the Wild: An Empirical Analysis of Vulnerabilities in Cryptographic Libraries by Blessing, Jenny, Specter, Michael A., Weitzner, Daniel J.

“…We collect data from the National Vulnerability Database, individual project repositories and mailing lists, and other relevant sources for all widely used cryptographic libraries. In our investigation of the causes of these vulnerabilities, we find evidence of a correlation between the complexity of these libraries and their (in)security, empirically demonstrating the potential risks of bloated cryptographic codebases. …”
