Emission of greenhouse gases such as CO2 is highly dependent on the energy systems of the countries. In this regard, for accurate analysis of CO2 emission it is necessary to take into account the factors related to energy consumption. In the present paper, three countries including Turkey, Bulgaria and Greece are considered as case studies to model their CO2 by using an economic indicator (GDP) and consumptions of different energy sources. In this regard, Group Method of Data Handling (GMDH) is applied as the method and the required data for modeling between 2000 and 2019 are gathered. The results indicated that R2 values of the proposed model for training, test and overall datasets are 0.9997, 0.9991 and 0.9995, respectively. In addition, AARD of the mentioned datasets were around 0.71%, 1.18% and 0.85%, respectively. These values reveal significant exactness of the proposed which can be attributed to proper selection of both inputs and modeling method.


Copyright © Taylor & Francis 2001. ISSN 0001–6470. Printed in Sweden – all rights reserved. Sir—I read with pleasure the excellent prize winning article in the December issue by Lars Linder about cancellous impaction grafts in the human femur (Linder 2000). Lars Linder's work has been important for our experiments in bone grafting. I was puzzled by the clinical success of impaction grafting and our group performed a series of animal experiments trying to understand why impaction grafting works so well. When planning those studies, we jumped to the false conclusion that clinical success must be related to successful osseous incorporation of the graft. We therefore tried to find out which aspect of impaction grafting promoted bone ingrowth in the bone-chamber experiments mentioned by Lars Linder. It was only when he presented some of the data of his article at a meeting, that we realized that bony incorporation of the graft and clinical success might not be related, and that necrotic bone granula in a fibrous stroma might constitute an excellent biomaterial for hip revision. However, in some of our earlier work we also tried to improve graft incorporation by adding growth factors to the graft. This was successful in the bone chamber model in rats (Wang and Aspenberg 1996, Tägil et al. 2000), but has so far failed in a larger animal model with a loaded prosthesis (unpublished). At the end of his article Lars Linder concluded that one principal line of thought now is to use bone-stimulating substances together with bone grafts in the hope of achieving more complete and consistent bone regeneration. Although he did not state this, I am afraid it could be misinterpreted as a recommendation to proceed along that line. BMP preparations will probably be available to the clinician in the near future, and might become valuable in fracture treatment. However, it will then be possible to mix this substance with cancellous bone grafts during revision surgery. I would like to warn against such use for 2 reasons: 1. BMPs can also stimulate bone resorption, which has been observed both in vivo (Laursen et al. 1999) and in vitro (Kaneko et al. 2000). There is a risk of a transition phase of increased resorption in the graft, which could be detrimental to the mechanical stability. 2. Even if complete osseous remodeling is achieved, this will not necessarily lead to a better clinical result; the composite of necrotic bone and fibrous scar tissue might be preferable. In a study with impacted grafts in goat acetabuli, the mechanical properties of the construct were excellent, until the bone remodeling frontier had reached the cement, when the prosthesis loosened (Schimmel et al. 1998). This might also happen in humans if graft remodeling increases with the help of growth factors.


The work at hand illustrates the design approach adopted for a large strain sensor, based on the carbon nanotube (CNT) technology, devoted to operations of structural health monitoring and shape reconstruction. After a critical discussion on the specifications, the most suited materials and processes were selected, with specific focus on the dispersion and deposition strategies. Then, by means of a FE approach, the topology in terms of CNT volume concentration, morphology (curvature) and orientation, was identified. A feasibility study on the manufacturability was then carried out. Finally, in compliance with the initial specifications, the set of calibration and space qualification tests was illustrated. The above mentioned activities were developed within the Project "Graphene-Polymeric Spray Sensor for Shape Recognition of Super-Deformable Structures", GRAPSS, sponsored by CIRA within the "Curiosity Driven" initiative.

Title of Dissertation: Exploration of cross-cultural adaptability of PTSD among trauma survivors in Northern Iraq, Thailand, and the Democratic Republic of Congo: Application of item response theory and classical test theory Lynn Murphy Michalopoulos, Doctor of Philosophy, 2013 Dissertation Directed by: Llewellyn Cornelius, Professor, School of Social Work Background: There has been an ongoing debate in the trauma field regarding the validity of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) as a construct among trauma-affected populations displaced from or living in non-Western, low and middle income countries. Some researchers argue that PTSD is a Western construct that is only relevant in Western settings, while others assert that PTSD may be a universal concept. Purpose: To determine if there are a core set of PTSD symptoms that are applicable across three non-Western low and middle income countries (LMIC). Methods: Secondary data analysis was conducted from baseline, screening and validity studies among torture survivors in Northern Iraq, sexual violence survivors in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), and Burmese survivors of mass human rights violations in Thailand. Item response theory (IRT) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was conducted to explore core PTSD symptoms. Results: Confirmatory factor analyses indicated that the best fitting model for the whole sample was a 4-factor ―numbing‖ model (with effortful avoidance, arousal, numbing and intrusion factors). Results from the multidimensional IRT rating scale model indicated four core items across the whole sample. Accounting for multidimensionality with the ―numbing‖ PTSD model, the four items were from the effortful avoidance and arousal domains. Results revealed that seven items demonstrated differential item functioning were from the re-experiencing, numbing, and arousal domains. All items demonstrated statistically significant differential item functioning but small to moderate effect size. Conclusions: Core items found across the three countries are indicative of culturally relevant items that are concrete in nature, as well as relatively easy to measure and operationalize. The small effect size in the potential DIF items suggests that there is little meaningful/clinical difference of the items across country for general screening of PTSD symptoms. However, in clinical settings where a specific assessment for culture is developed or utilized, DIF items should potentially be accounted for and analyzed as having item bias. In general, findings suggest that measurement PTSD has universal as well as country-specific aspects.

ABSTRACT Comparative studies of European social policy have pointed to significant differences with respect to the way in which diversity is valued and understood, contrasting nations that have adopted strongly compulsory and integrationist policies with others that have pursued more voluntary and pluralistic approaches. Within the higher education sector specifically, although there have been numerous European-level initiatives to encourage national governments to take action to widen access to university, we know relatively little about how key policy actors conceptualise diversity with respect to the student population, and the extent to which such understandings are shared across national borders. Drawing on in-depth interviews with a range of 'policy influencers' in six European countries and an analysis of relevant policy documents, this article suggests that dimensions of difference are not always valued equally and that, despite policy imperatives promoting higher education homogenisation across the continent, some significant differences between nation-states endure.

The social problems that occur in society are certainly so complex if they have to be addressed one by one. A fact and reality that exist in everyday life are things that are an integral part of that situation. In digesting and seeking solutions to these social problems, as a Muslim everyone is required to be a solution in solving problems that exist and occur in social life itself. This study aims to describe in general the social problems that occur in people's lives by using the dakwah approach to solve them and to examine the problems using the library research method. The expected result of this research is to provide a general understanding to the public and readers in particular in order to interpret the importance of appreciating and accepting other people's opinions so that later the inclusiveness of society through da'wah can be a concept for solving these social problems.


Objective To investigate the incidence of duodenum injuries and its correlation with the course of cirrhosis, portal hypertensive gastropathy and the grade of liver function in portal hypertensive cirrhotics. Methods 72 patients with portal hypertensive cirrhosis were enrolled in this study. The erosions of duodenal mucosal barrier were examined by gastroscopy. And 14C-urei breithe test was taken .72 cases without portal hypertensive cirrhosis were also taken as controls. Results The erosive incidence of duodenum in patients with portal hypertensive cirrhosis was 41.7%. The incidence was correleted with the course of cirrhosis and the grade of liver function (P0.05). The helicobactor pylori infection in two groups were not significantly different (P0.05).Also, no significant correlation were found with portal hypertensive gastropathy. The erosion mainly happened in the pars descendens of duodenum, and was irrelevant to the grade of liver function. Conclusion The duodenum erosion of portal hypertensive cirrhosis is different from common duodenoporthy. It is a damage in duodenum caused by portal hypertensions.

This article examines certain ideological peculiarities of the first-wave feminist movement in the Canadian province of Alberta, and intertwinement of Anglo-Canadian nationalism, maternal feminism and eugenics in the ideological basis of the feminist movement in the early XX century. The author examines the fusion of the questions of gender and nationality in ideology of the feminist movement, and analyzes the formation and realization of a particular feminist agenda in Alberta, which was based on the specific ideology of maternal feminism. Paying special attention to similarity of the ideology and objectives of the Anglo-Canadian nationalistic and feminist movements in the province, the author notes the causes for rapid success of the feminist movement by pivotal goals of the agenda. The scientific novelty of this research is substantiated by the fact that the author is first within the Russian historiography to explore the intertwinement of nationality and gender in ideology of the feminist movement in Alberta. The conclusion is drawn on the interinfluence of Anglo-Canadian nationalism, maternal feminism and eugenics in the ideological basis of the first-wave feminist movement in Alberta, as well as placing in the agenda the question of equal rights of men and women as an important aspect in preservation of Anglo-Canadian ideals for the future generations in Alberta.


Introduction: Understanding the association among various disorders has remarkably improved their diagnosis and therapies. It has been observed that autism and inflammatory bowel diseases cause a sort of inflammation. Exploring the relationship between them will lead to discovering important involved genes and in turn will eventually help discover any possible common therapeutic protocols. The aim of the present study was to determine the correlation between autism spectrum disorders and inflammatory bowel diseases. Materials and Methods: The common genes associated with autism spectrum disorders and inflammatory bowel diseases were retrieved from DisGeNET. SFARI databases and were subjected to an in silico data analysis framework to explore predictive genes and the related pathways. Results: Eleven genes including HLA-DRB1, MTHFR, PON1, IL6, MTOR, SETD2, GSTM1, APC, IFNG, SERPINE1, and MAPK1 regulated by YY1 and IRF1 transcription factors were characterized as discriminating molecules which by further screening were enriched in pathways mostly involved in neutrophil apoptosis, neutrophil homeostasis, chemokine biosynthesis and the regulation of immune system response. Conclusions: According to findings it can be stated that the identified common genes were associated with a wide range of pathogenic mechanisms.

The Taishō Emperor was born in 1879 and died in 1926 at the age of forty-seven. The wife of the Taishō Emperor, Sadako, known posthumously as Empress Teimei, lived from 1884 to 1951. The Meiji Emperor did not involve himself in the education of Yoshihito, but was deeply concerned about the matter of his son?s health. Like the Meiji Emperor, who after the Meiji Restoration went on the ?Six Grand Imperial Progresses,? Yoshihito, following his marriage, traveled all over the country. In July 1912, upon the demise of the Meiji Emperor, Yoshihito ascended the throne. The Taishō Emperor frequently absented himself from the palace Shinto rites, preferring the more enjoyable pastimes of sailing and horseback riding around the imperial villas in Hayama and Nikko. Keywords: Empress Teimei; Meiji Emperor; Sadako; Shinto; Taishō Emperor; Yoshihito


The importance of shear wave velocities in the study of direct hydrocarbon indicators (such as seismic AVO trends) has been shown to be crucial. Unfortunately , shear velocities are in general poorly understood. It is the aim of this paper to show that shear velocities in consolidated sediments can be modeled with simple concepts.


The main objective of this paper is to evaluate the working capital measures such as cash conversion cycle (CCC), days receivable outstanding (DRO), days payable outstanding (DPO) and days inventory outstanding (DIO) across industries and determine whether differences exist among different industries with respect to working capital measures in India. In addition to that, an attempt has also been made to test whether the efficiency of working capital management (WCM) in Indian companies has improved after the global financial crisis (GFC) of 2008. To achieve these objectives, financial data of 896 firms listed on Bombay stock exchange (BSE) for the period of 12 years (2002-2013) has been analysed. The results of this study indicate that working capital measures (DIO, DPO, DRO and CCC), are significantly differ in various industry groups. It is also observed that Indian companies have become more efficient in managing working capital after the GFC of 2008.


We study the properties of the Newtonian gravitational potential in a spherical Universe for different topologies. For this, we use the non-Euclidean Newtonian theory developed in Vigneron [2022, Class.&Quantum Gravity, 39, 155006] describing Newtonian gravitation in a spherical or hyperbolic Universe. The potential is calculated for a point mass in all the globally homogeneous regular spherical topologies, i.e. whose fundamental domain is unique and is a platonic solid. We provide the exact solution and the Taylor expansion series of the potential at a test position near the point mass. We show that the odd terms of the expansion can be interpreted as coming from the presence of a non-zero spatial scalar curvature, while the even terms relate to the closed nature of the topological space. A consequence is that, compared to the point mass solution in a 3-torus, widely used in Newtonian cosmological simulations, the spherical cases all feature an additional attractive first order term dependent solely on the spatial curvature. The choice of topology only affects the potential at second order and higher. For typical estimates of cosmological scales (curvature and topology), the strongest topological effect occurs in the case of the Poincar\'e dodecahedral space, but in general the effect of curvature dominates over topology. We also provide the set of equations that can be used to perform $N$-body simulations of structure formation in spherical topologies.

The concept of special knowledge forms used during pre-trial investigation is considered. The views of scientists regarding the classification of special knowledge forms used during the investigation of criminal proceedings are analyzed. The opinion of the majority of scientists regarding the division of forms of special knowledge into procedural and non-procedural ones is highlighted. In addition, besides procedural and non-procedural forms of special knowledge, the statement on the selection of such a form as mixed, which combines the features of the two forms indicated above, is considered. Another division of special knowledge by forms is also analyzed. Each form of special knowledge is explored in more detail.
Statistical studies of scientists regarding the use of forms of special knowledge in practical activities are presented. Scientific views on conducting forensic examinations in criminal proceedings are analyzed. Peculiarities of appointment of examinations are considered. Aspects of the expediency of using advisory and reference information during the investigation of criminal offenses, in particular theft, are highlighted. The positive consequences of the involvement of specialists in conducting investigative (research) actions as a form of special knowledge are clarified.
The main goals of special knowledge used during the investigation of secret theft of someone else's property are determined. Forms of special knowledge, which are used during the inspection of the scene at the beginning of the pre-trial investigation, are revealed. Judicial practice in criminal cases based on the fact of theft regarding the use of forms of special knowledge during pre-trial investigation is selectively considered. The forms of special knowledge used during the investigation of the secret theft of someone else's property are analyzed.
The need to involve specialists in inspecting the scene during the investigation of thefts is revealed. It is emphasized that it is mandatory to appoint a commodity expert when investigating the secret theft of someone else's property. The expediency of involving experts and specialists in the investigative (search) actions carried out during the investigation of the above offenses is analyzed. Attention is paid to consultations and references that can carry important information and influence the receipt of substantive evidence.


We propose idiosyncratic volatility based return spread as a new measure of the stock-level value of investor sophistication. We find that stocks with a high value of investor sophistication tend to have low average returns, and this effect is pronounced for highly short-sale constrained stocks. The negative relation between expected stock returns and the value of investor sophistication is not explained by variables that affect the relation between idiosyncratic volatility and returns. Our results are robust with respect to whether idiosyncratic volatility is estimated using different factor models or methods. Such relation is more prominent in periods of high investor sentiment, high market uncertainty, and economic contraction.

Two fresh discharge vessels (1 and 2) of Siemen's ozoniser type having the same height but different surface-to-volume ratios have been fabricated by enclosing argon at 10 mm mercury. By immersing these in electrolytic solution and by subjecting these to a definite high 50 Hz ac voltage, the discharge count rates in dark (Cf )D and under light (Cf )L have been determined using a scaler held at different bias-voltages. The plot of the ratio (C1f / C2f )D and (C1f / C2f )L of discharge counts versus pulse height (bias-voltage) shows that this ratio for a constant potential of 3.5 kV (rms) is initially large in value, then rapidly decreases to a minimum. It is also observed that more is the surface-to-volume ratio, more is the magnitude of net effect of irradiation. Further, the pulse height analysis shows that the charge carried by the pulses to the electrodes (charge transfer) decreases under illumination. A possible mechanism to explain the net effect of the discharge current ratio in the light of pulse height measurements is discussed.


An analytical vefification method for structural dynamics subject to partial design change is proposed. The method can predict time-domain structural dynamic responses after the changes are implemented, incorporated with the entire structural characteristics including the unchanged portion, by using small numbers of modal parameters of the original structure and the modified component. The concise computation of the degrees of freedom of the modal representation, which are formulated to retain the residual flexibility in the equation of motion, can correctly provide changed effects. The representation of the component mode synthesis and the force equilibrium between the changed component and the main structure are utilized to develop the algorithm, which yields the modal mass-stiffness conversion in the component modes. Applying this method to the spacecraft redesign, without the physical property information of the launch vehicle or repetition of coupled load analysis, the established algorithm can improve the prediction of the coupled spacecraft and launch vehicle structural dynamics. A reanalysis can be implemented using a limited number of available modal parameters from the coupled analysis for the original structure. Demonstrations applied to simple beam and spacecraft-launch vehicle models presented show the effectiveness of the method.


To Wudang Yuzhen palace gate lifting project as an example, it introduces a new type of lifting counterforce supporting system design. This lifting counterforce supporting system is designed in this paper in three aspects: the selection of lifting counterforce supporting system, steel pad, section steel reinforced concrete structure, and it puts forward the relevant suggestions: It is better to use H-steel reinforced concrete support system in building large high jacking works; In the design process of the steel cross section, it is need to focus on the bending strength and stability factors in the case of considering the eccentric force; In the design process of steel reinforced concrete walls, it is need to focus on resistance to overturning stability factor.


Background: Defecation and gastrointestinal motility functions are important in critically ill patients as they affect the quality of life. However, scant attention has been given to abnormal bowel pattern in critically ill patients. Aim: The objective of the present study was to assess bowel pattern, its associated factors, and impact on clinical outcomes among critically ill patients. Methods: A prospective cohort study was conducted on 50 critically ill patients who stayed for ≥3 days in ICUs of DMCH Ludhiana by total enumerative sampling technique. The tool used was socio demographic profile, clinical profile, bowel pattern assessment by daily record sheet and Bristol stool scale (1997), daily record sheet for vital assessment, and SAPS II (1993) to assess clinical outcome. Data was collected by self-report through structured interview, observations, records, and reports. Results: 50 patients were followed up for 324 observations. Inadequate bowel pattern was recorded in 62% (31), out of which 9.6% (3) had diarrhea and 90.3% (28) had constipation. Adequate bowel pattern was recorded in 38% (19) patients, among which 42% (8) had adequate pattern with laxatives and 58% (11) without laxatives. From total of 324 observations, there was no bowel action during 172 (53.1%) observations, while in 152 (46.9%) observations with bowel action, loose stools were identified on 75 observations (49.34%), and hard stool was present in 21 (6.48%) observations. There was significant association of late enteral nutrition (p = 0.001), comorbidity (hypertension) (p = 0.02), VCV mode (p = 0.01), PCO 2 (p = 0.04) and male gender (p = 0.01) with inadequate bowel pattern. Delayed enteral nutrition increased the risk of inadequate bowel pattern (RR 1.99, p = 0.001). Anticonvulsants and ACE inhibitors increased the risk of inadequate bowel pattern (RR >1.5, p 6 days (RR 2, p = 0.02). Conclusion: Critically ill patients frequently have inadequate bowel pattern with constipation as the most common problem. Inadequate bowel pattern was significantly associated with male gender, HTN comorbidity, late enteral nutrition, VCV mode, and PCO 2 . Therefore, it is recommended that early detection and treatment of inadequate bowel pattern can reduce their stay in ICU.

Bycatch of narrow-ridged finless porpoises Neophocaena asiaeorientalis in gillnets was estimated for the Ariake Sound/Tachibana Bay population in Japan using interview-based surveys. In 2007 and 2008, the minimum number (actual number reported by all interviewees) of bycatch was 31 to 35 individuals (ind.) yr �1 . The number of interviewees was 131 to 136 in each year. The bycatch estimate was 238 (95% CI 123 to 353) to 270 (95% CI 148 to 391) ind. yr �1 . The estimate exceeded the potential biological removal level of this population, 27 ind., which was cal- culated on the basis of a published abundance estimate. The bycatch estimate accounted for 8% of the abundance. The bycatch rate was 0.237 ind. gillnetter �1 yr �1 in 2007 and 0.257 ind. gillnet- ter �1 yr �1 in 2008. Additional analysis of information on bycatch in the bottom-set gillnet fisheries collected from 1987 to 1992 suggested an increase in bycatch during fall and winter seasons, the possible existence of a calving ground, and age-sex related habitat use patterns. Neonates were found in a restricted area, whereas nursing calves and possible calves were seen in a wide range of waters, implying outward movement of mothercalf pairs from a calving ground. Neither neonates nor nursing calves were captured in waters deeper than 30 m.

The article deals with the salt making lexis (thematic group "Household facility") in a sociolinguistic aspect, namely with modern residents' usage and their awareness of the lexis meaning. 24 respondents, Solikamsk residents, were questioned; their social characteristics were balanced in terms of gender, age, education and employment. The outcomes of the research allow to deduct the extent to which the social factors limit the salt making lexis functioning in the space of the modern city and predict the possible trends of development of this type of lexis in the future.


The damage of school buildings is a serious safety problem in Indonesia,in wich more than 60% of primary school buildings in Indonesia show severe damage which endangers the people inside. The purpose of this study is to analyze the risk of damage building components, using risk assessment methods (Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment). The results of HIRA analysis show that there were 6 units with light damaged, 15 units with severe damage and 17 units with damage. Therefore, it is known that the high risk was due to building collapse. Meanwhile the response to the medium risk is repairing the existing damage. If the damage become the high level of risk and cause casualties, it must be handled with the rehabilitation,. Routine maintenance is performed on a primary case with minor damage to the primary school. A maintenance case is performed by a minor case on a primary school that can be reduced or even eliminated. If countermeasures are done and on target, it is expected that the existing risk can be reduced or even eliminated.


We report the detection, with the Caltech Submillimeter Observatory ? , of the 894-GHz HDO(11;1 00;0) transition, observed in absorption against the background continuum emission of the SgrB2 cores M and N. Radiative transfer modeling of this feature, together with the published data set of mm and submm HDO and H 18 O transitions, suggests that ground- state absorption features from deuterated and non-deuterated water trace dierent gas components along the line of sight. In particular, while the HDO line seems to be produced by the large column densities of gas located in the SgrB2 warm envelope, the H 18 O ground-state transition detected by SWAS and KAO at 548 GHz (Neufeld et al. 2000; Zmuidzinas et al. 1995a) is instead a product of the hot, diuse, thin gas layer lying in the foreground of the SgrB2 complex.


The proxy blind signature scheme proposed by Alghazzawi could be forged and traced.This article improved the secret key of the proxy signature and redesigned the blind signature method.A new safe proxy blind signature scheme was proposed,and the security of the new signature scheme was proved.


This article discusses how instant video revisiting (IVR) promotes reflective thinking for both teachers and children. IVR was used as a daily classroom experience with both the children and the teachers throughout one semester in two preschool classrooms with children 2.5 to 5 years old. The teachers used a digital video camera to generate data to help them understand the behavior of the children and revisit the children's actions immediately, with the children using the video clips to extend their learning. Two classroom examples illustrate how IVR supports the children's learning and the teacher's reflection of this learning. The first example describes how IVR helped the children reflect on their actions and solve their own conflicts. The second example describes the use of IVR to scaffold the children's idea of the middle of a story, thereby strengthening their own thought processes in relation to a story construction.


Two analyses are presented, Kafa I (with foreign sounds) and Kafa II (without foreign sounds). Kafa I is interpreted as the contemporary phonology, while Kafa II is the historical stage preceding the time when Amharic loanwords started to enter the language in larger quantities. Not all phonemes of Kafa I are equally integrated in the phonological system; phonemes with a low frequency are least integrated, and tend to be replaced by phonologically similar phonemes with a higher frequency. Both analyses differ from earlier ones, primarily because some distinctive consonant oppositions postulated earlier turn out to be non-distinctive when quantity is taken care of in a more exact way. Kafa II consonant clusters are shown to constitute strictly defined sets, and most foreign clusters in Kafa I do not differ radically from the native ones.


The monogenean Gyrodactylus taimeni Ergens, 1971 was recorded in this study for the first time in Iraq from gills of the common carp Cyprinus carpio Linnaeus, 1758. The description and measurements of this parasite as well as illustration were given. In addition, a list of species of Gyrodactylus so far recorded from C. carpio in Iraq is also included together with a list of all other hosts recorded for each gyrodactylid species. INTRODUCTION Monogenean flatworms of the genus Gyrodactylus occur on a wide array of fishes, possess a high degree of host-specificity (Buchmann, 2012). Species of this genus are parasites of freshwater and marine teleosts (Bykhovskaya-Pavlovskaya et al., 1962). All the species of Gyrodactylus are viviparous with embryo already containing a further developing embryo. These parasites have a specific birthing process of two daughters. The first daughter is created asexually from a ball of cells within the parent and then released through the birth pore. The second daughter and all subsequent daughters develop from an oocyst and enter the uterus after the previous daughter is born (Szczembara, 2011). Species of Gyrodactylus are seen especially in teleost fishes, infect and live ectoparasitically on the skin, fins and gills (Koyun and Altunel, 2011). The worm attaches to the fin or skin surface of the host by inserting 16 marginal hooklets and one pair of median hooks into the epidermis. This action is clearly associated with injuries to the epithelial cells. Also feeding activities of the worm impose epithelium damage (Buchmann, 2012). The parasites cause excessive mucous secretion and potential hemorrhagic lesions (Johnsen and Jensen, 1991). Salmon skin samples showed a reduced mucous cells concentration and epidermis was thinner than in uninfected fishes (Sterud et al., 1998). The disease resulting from Gyrodactylus infection is called gyrodactylosis which has been reported to be responsible for death of a wide variety of fishes (Szczembara, 2011). Gyrodactylus salaris Malmberg, 1957 was recognized as a virulent pathogen on Atlantic salmon parr (Salmo salar) populations in Norway since 1975, the economic loss caused by this parasite amount to 480 million Euros (Bakke et al., 2002; Rokicka et al., 2007). In Iraq, 21 Gyrodactylus species have been described from freshwater fishes from different water bodies, 17 species of which were recorded from the common carp C. carpio. The first study in Iraq concerning Gyrodactylus was that on G. elegans (Ali and Shaaban, 1984), after which several studies were carried out, among which some reported new records of Gyrodactylus species in Iraq (Ali et al., 1988b; Salih et al., 1988; Abdul-Ameer, 1989; Mhaisen et al., 1990; Al-Zubaidy, 1998; Abdullah, 2002; Jori, 2006; Al-Zubaidy, 2007; Mama, 2012; Abdul-Ameer and Al-Saadi 2013, Abdullah, 2013).


: The superfluid 3 He serves as a rich repository of novel topological quantum phenomena. The quantum fluid confined to nanofabri cated geometries possesses multiple superfluid phases composed of the symmetry-protected topological superfluid B-phase and the A-phase as a Weyl superfluid. With a focus on the 3 He-B confined to a restricted geometry, we here show that the interplay of topology and symmetry brings about a new type of topological phase transition concomitant with spontaneous symmetry breaking.

This article analyzes the effectiveness of 125 U.S. boycotts from 1978 to 2017. On average, the results suggest that actual consumer boycott calls against U.S. target firms (treatment firms) had a negative and statistically significant effect on the shareholder wealth of U.S. target firms. The synthetic control method and the placebo tests confirmed that the negative cumulative abnormal returns (CAR) observed here are robust and not due to idiosyncratic shocks unrelated to the announced boycotts. Negative and statistically significant boycott effects were also found for boycott threats and categorical issues related to union issues, animal rights, living wages in less‐developed countries, racial/sexual discrimination, ideological issues, and political/religious boycotts. The results also show that firms with a higher level of competition and advertising activity experienced larger negative boycott effects; and firms with higher net income observed mitigated boycott effects.


Delivering improved seeds to smallholder farmers in the developing world is an efficient and sustainable method of increasing crop yields and quality. Unlike fertilizers, pesticides and equipment, seeds can be produced locally for distribution to farmers or self-saved. Furthermore, improved varieties of horticultural crops often reduce dependence on synthetic pesticides, improve food safety, reduce preand post-harvest losses and fetch higher prices in the market. However, the benefits that developing world farmers accrue from improved varieties can depend on their local systems for seed drying and storage. Without proper storage conditions, seeds can rapidly lose viability, resulting in poor crop establishment, lack of uniformity, reduced yields and poor marketability. Farmers' experience with poor seed performance lowers their incentive to invest in genetically improved seeds and stymies development of breeding and seed marketing systems for more productive horticultural varieties. On the other hand, farmer confidence in the quality of purchased seeds and in their ability to store them safely will strengthen local seed markets and increase yields and incomes.


Abstract : These tests show development and mitigation of Class B explosions aboard Naval ships. This consisted of three main points: (1) determining the conditions needed for developing a Class B explosion, (2) determining the effect of ship board conditions (e.g. buffer zone size and ventilation) on the development of Class B explosions, and (3) determining the effectiveness of using water spray as a mitigating tactic. Results that address all three points are discussed in detail.


of talk involves. He accepts "spiritual" values, but these have to be expressed in terms of "better adjustments and integrations," "increments of psychic substance" and similar obscure phrases. The fact that this borrowed psychological jargon begs the whole question is never recognized for a moment. Perhaps if the author had been more sure of himself, and less dependent on the opinions of others, he would have produced a more satisfactory book.


According to humanism and the theory of criminal liability, if the psychosis criminal is a criminal incapacity,he or she is not to bear criminal responsibility,and is remitted criminal punishment.But the reason why the psychosis criminal commits a crime includes psychological block.If not to give psychosis criminal necessary treatment in order to eliminate or control their criminal pathological reason,it still has probabilities for them to commit a crime.Therefore,from the angle of social defense,it is necessary to implement enforcement treatments for the psychosis criminal who has serious potentiality of danger.


The purpose of this study is to provide empirical evidence about company
characteristics such as product diversification, geographical diversification, firm
size, type of industry, leverage, and profitability that affect corporate risk
disclosure.
The statistic method that used to test the hypotheses is multiple regression
analysis. Seventy six nonfinancial firms listed on IDX in 2009 were chosen
randomly as sample. To explain the linkages between the variables, stakeholder
theory was used. In addition, corporate risk disclosure was explorated with
sentences as a basis for coding.
The results of this research show that simultaneously company
characteristics have significant positive relationships with risk disclosure.
However, only firm size and type of industry that have significant relationship
with risk disclosure individually, while both of product and geographical
diversification, leverage, and profitability have no significant relationship with
corporate risk disclosure .


This research is aimed at resolution of the question of forecasting tax revenues for consolidated budget of the constituent entity of the Russian Federation in terms of changing the composition of taxes within taxation system under the conditions of high level of uncertainty. For assessing the economic effect from transition of small business entities from Unfixed Tax on Imputed Income (UTII) to other special tax regimes, the author analyzes the established by legislation conditions, requirements and limitations applicable to special tax regimes, and formulates the benchmark data for forecasting. Based on the results of analysis of existing approaches towards tax planning, it is substantiated that the forecast assessment of tax revenue after cancellation of UTII requires employment of expert approach with the use of the method of scenario analysis. The scenario leans on the fact that the business interest of taxpayer, which defines his choice in terms of changing the taxation regime, is the reduction of tax burden. The key variables for the scenario analysis include: legislatively established restrictions towards application of special tax regimes by the taxpayers, as well as the amount, categories, and organizational-legal forms of small business entities that after the cancellation of UTII selected another taxation regime. The result of approbation of the proposed approach consists in the forecast assessment of economic regime of transition from UTII to other taxation regimes, reflected in change in the volume of tax revenue tor the consolidated budget of the Republic of Crimea. The proposed methodology is valuable for the simplicity of calculations and accessibility of the necessary database, and can be utilized for forecasting the tax revenue of any constituent entity of the Russian Federation in the context of changing taxation of small businesses.


Ablation of atrial fibrillation in the context of obesity can be challenging. We sought to evaluate the role of cryoballoon pulmonary vein isolation (CB‐PVI) in obese patients with symptomatic atrial fibrillation (AF).


The Report of the Group of Experts on Hydrographic Surveying and Nautical Charting, published by the United Nations Economic and Social Council in 1978 [1], advised developing countries to examine the need for hydrographic services and to ascertain what aid they could expect from the United Nations in establishing a national hydrographic service. This paper deals with certain aspects of the Report, explains, in general terms, the financial and technical assistance which may be provided and the United Nations agencies which may be involved. The concept of a UN-assisted project is discussed and its application in the planning of a hydrographic project is explained. A case study of a hydrographic project with United Nations Technical Co-operation, in which the author is involved, is presented to give some indication of the time scale involved, the problems which may be encountered and methods of solving them. The paper begins with the assumption that the Government of a developing country has realised the need to establish a hydrographic service and has identified the department to run it. It presents no arguments for or against such a decision but aims to give some insight into the formulation of a hydrographic project with United Nations Technical Co-operation.


For obvious cost reasons, semiconductor manufacturers are constantly striving to produce ever smaller wafer geometries with the current installed base of wafer steppers. Many techniques have been used successfully to 'squeeze' more resolution from these steppers than was once thought possible. Wafers processed using non-aggressive k1 factors provided a linear correlation between mask and wafer feature sizes. However, it has been shown that pushing k1 factors to very low levels causes a nonlinear response between changes in photomask and wafer critical dimension. This non-linearity demands extremely tight photomask CD control specifications. Total CD errors 50nm and smaller can cause unacceptable wafer CD variation. In this paper, defect sensitivity and false detection performance of a new advanced line measurement algorithm was tested. The test vehicles included both an industry standard and a custom designed programmed defect test mask. In addition, production masks with naturally occurring localized CD errors that caused wafer pattern bridging were analyzed. This new experimental algorithm has shown localized CD error detection of


The manuscript deals with the study of the FLRW universe together with domain walls and quark matter in f ( R , T ) gravity where R is the Ricci scalar and T is the trace of the energy momentum tensor. We choose f ð R ; T Þ ¼ R þ a R 2 þ k T . Exact solutions are obtained under the assumptions: (1) a constant and variable deceleration parameter of the form q ¼ m (cid:2) 1 and q ¼ (cid:2) a 3 t 2 þ b (cid:2) 1, a 3 6¼ 0 and (2) an equation of the state of the form p m ¼ ð c (cid:2) 1 Þ q m and p m ¼ 1 3 ð q m (cid:2) 4 B c Þ . The physical quantities involved in the cosmological models are obtained and analysed graphically. The solutions obtained here are most general which reduce to the solutions in general relativity, f ( R , T ) theory and higher derivative theory with suitable choices of the parameters.

The structural reform of agricultural supply side conforms to the new situation of agricultural production development and the new change of the main contradiction, is the inevitable choice for the agricultural transformation and development, and also is also the main line to promote agricultural rural modernization. From the perspective of factor supply, the panel data of 30 provinces (cities and districts) in China from 2007 to 2019 is used in this paper. Based on the critical rule of data, the fixed utility model is constructed to evaluate the direction and degree of the influence in which various factors have on the agricultural economy development. An evaluation index system of the utility in agricultural supply side structural reform is constructed. The specific constraint factors for the current agricultural supply side structural reform in terms of technology, land, labor, capital and aggregation are sorted out so that an effective way is put forward to promote the reform under the goal of full factor productivity.

ABSTRACT Culinary tourism has emerged as an area of practical interest for many developing destinations. Nonetheless, little is known about the factors shaping international tourists' acceptance of local cuisine. Through an application of the Tri-Component Attitude Model, this study explores how attitudes are influenced by food-related personality traits of tourists. Using a survey of 396 international tourists, the study provides insights into the role of neophilia in explaining tourists' cognitive, affective and conative responses toward local cuisines. The findings verify the significant influence of food neophilia and highlights the confounding effects of tourists' idiosyncrasies. The study further offers distinct implications for theory and practice.


This study aims to explore the views of Ulama Padang Lawas Utara regarding the culture of slaughtering animals during misfortunes in the context of Maqoshid Syariah. The research method used is an empirical legal research method with an empirical doctrinal legal approach, through field research. The research respondents consisted of village heads, religious leaders, and community leaders in North Padang Lawas who had an understanding of this issue, as well as the people who practiced this culture. Data collection techniques include interviews and document studies (literature). Data analysis was carried out qualitatively, with the results arranged in the form of sentences arranged systematically. The results of the study show that the views of Ulama Padang Lawas Utara towards the culture of slaughtering animals in times of misfortune state that this tradition is carried out without burdening the grieving family. Costs for animal slaughter are usually collected through the Help-Help Union (STM) and the cooking process is carried out in a collaborative way. In this context, the tradition of slaughtering buffalo is permissible in accordance with the motto "worship side by side", which illustrates the harmonization between traditional traditions and religious teachings.


Introduction At any given moment, there are approximately 6 million breeding sows in the U.S., making up more than 10 percent of the entire U.S. pig population (National Agricultural Statistics Service 2002). During commercial production, pregnant sows are kept predominantly in individual stalls so small that basic movements, such as turning around, are impossible. These stalls, called gestation stalls or gestation crates, are usually not much larger than the sow herself—about 7 feet long by 2 feet wide (Kaufman 2001)—and lead to a variety of animal welfare problems. Sows are also sometimes tethered by the neck in open-ended stalls, leading to similarly restrictive conditions in which they "have about the same space as in a stall and cannot turn around" (National Pork Board 2002). Producers tend to keep sows in these conditions for most of their pregnancies, which last an average of 115 days or a little more than 16 weeks, ostensibly to monitor individuals in a more costand labor-efficient manner. Just prior to giving birth, sows are typically moved to farrowing stalls—further restricting their movements, theoretically to reduce piglet crushing. After weaning, the sows are, once again, impregnated and returned to gestation stalls. This process continues for several consecutive parities until the sows are no longer reproductively viable, and they are sent to slaughter—after approximately five or six litters (Krieter 2001) or, in other terms, three to five years (Rollin 1995). As a result, sows spend much of their lives—month after month—in such restrictive conditions that the simple act of standing up becomes the highlight of their day.


There is a one-to-one correspondence between signed plane graphs and link diagrams,which was once used to link tabulations. Determining the component number of links corresponding to plane graphs is one of the basic problems in studying links via graphs. Further conclusions on the link component number of alternating triangular lattices are obtained.

No not that book! We are talking about the state of healthcare not just in the United States but around the world. Even though we are at the forefront of the most advanced ability to heal, a great many people are deprived of the best of care either because they cannot afford it or because they are otherwise denied access to treatment. This book is not about the social aspects of that state but about what every healthcare leader and his or her organization can do to make healthcare more available, more affordable, with better outcomes. .. and yes, if desired, more profitable. The United States spends more on healthcare than any other nation in the world, yet 50.7 million people in the United States have no health coverage. In 2008, $7,681 was spent for every U.S. resident on healthcare, some $2.3 trillion, as reported by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, yet the average life expectancy in the United States is shorter than that in many developed and developing nations. In a study of the healthcare systems of seven industrialized countries, the Commonwealth Fund ranked the U.S. healthcare system as the most costly, spending almost twice as much per capita than average. How can this be? The healthcare system in the United States is in shambles. Emergency departments are overflowing with the uninsured. There is a shortage of primary care providers driven by lifestyle and reimbursement pressures and a rush to specialize. The Affordable Care Act could extend health insurance coverage to 32 million uninsured U.S. citizens. There are fears that there


This paper discusses some of the factors that need to be taken into consideration if other services are to be included within a satellite that provides direct TV broadcasting to the UK. The main reason for considering such an approach is that the inclusion of other services may improve the overall economics. It should be recognised that the requirements of the DBS services will impose certain constraints, in particular on the orbit location. Also there is less flexibility in the choice of frequencies for the DBS services than there may be for other services.


Background:
 Therapeutic strategies that specifically target excessive post-ischemic cardiac fibrosis are lacking but desperately needed; thus, it is critical to understand the molecular mechanisms underlying these processes. Genome-wide association studies have revealed an association between inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors (IP3Rs) and ischemic heart disease. However, experimental studies examining the exact role of IP3Rs in post-ischemic cardiac fibrosis are missing.

 Aim:
 We hypothesize that IP3Rs play a key role in the regulation of cardiac myofibroblasts (myoFBs) in healing the infarcted heart after myocardial infarction (MI).

 Methods:
 We performed an integrated set of
 in vivo, ex vivo
 , and
 in vitro
 experiments aiming at identifying the functional role of cardiac myoFB IP3Rs in post-ischemic cardiac remodeling. We generated cardiac myo-FB-specific Triple IP3R knock-out (IP3R
 TKO
 ) mice (
 Cre/lox
 recombination technique; Promoter:
 Periostin
 ), allowing us to overcome the difficulties encountered following the KO or KD of a single (of the three existent) IP3Rs, a strategy that has been shown to induce compensatory upregulation of the other isoforms.

 Results:
 After MI, IP3Rs are significantly upregulated in myoFBs of the remote regions but not in the scar area. IP3R
 TKO
 mice display a significantly reduced interstitial cardiac fibrosis and a markedly attenuated myocardial dysfunction following MI compared with control IP3R
 flox
 or Periostin
 Cre
 littermates. Moreover, FBs lacking IP3Rs exhibit significantly reduced migratory and secretory capacities, a finding confirmed both in murine and human FBs. Mechanistically, we show that IP3Rs modulate endoplasmic reticulum autophagy (ER-phagy) in primary isolated myoFBs following ischemic injury.

 Conclusions:
 Taken together, our findings indicate for the first time that IP3Rs are essential for the regulation of post-ischemic cardiac fibrosis.


A longrange analysis of mortality in Finland was carried out using a comparison between cohort mortality and period mortality. Data from basic statistics were used to make 5-year period analyses for the period 1881-1975. Cohort data was taken from 1951-1910. The study covered the entire population of the country categorized by date of birth age and sex. The methodology of the study is explained along with a discussion of data reliability. Tables present the life expectancy data for different years different ages and for men and women. Life expectancy grew rapidly in the beginning of the period 1881-1975 averaging .5-.6 yearly. Since the 1950s the rise in life expectancy has been slower. Period analyses are seen to overstate the probability of mortality in comparison with cohort analyses.


Software complexity metrics have used to quantifydifferent types of software properties such as cost, effort, time, maintainability, understanding and reliability. The existing metrics considered limited factors that affect software complexity, but do not consider the characteristics that affect complexity of multi-paradigm languages. In this work, a Multi-paradigm Complexity Metric (MCM) for measuring software complexity was developed for multi-paradigm codes. Multi-paradigm languages that were considered in thiswork are C++ and Python, these two languages combine the features of procedural and object oriented paradigms, therefore this research began with investigation of factors that affect the complexity of procedural code and object oriented code, so that the developed metric could be used not only for procedural code, but also either object oriented codes or in more general for multi-paradigm codes. The developed metric was then applied on sample programs written in most popular programming languages such as Python and C++, and the result of the developed metric was further evaluated with other existing complexity metrics like effective line of code (eLOC), cyclomatic complexity metric and Halstead complexity measures. The study showed that the developed complexity metric have significant comparison with the existing complexity metrics and can be used to rank numerous programs and difficulties of various modules.


In order to evolve as a society we need increasingly efficient technologies and implicitly materials with great performance that promote safety and sustainability. The discovery of high entropy alloys was received with much enthusiasm due to the possibility of designing new materials with improved properties, that could be used in applications that require extreme conditions or a very specific combination of properties. As the research in this area is continuously increasing and the results are very promising, this review focuses on the most recent investigations on medium entropy alloys (MEAs) applications, highlighting their properties, but taking into consideration other factors, such as economic and environmental factors. Additionally, considering the high cost associated with MEAs fabrication, MEA coatings are also explored, as they are nowadays regarded as a more convenient procedure to obtain the required properties for various substrate materials.

The physical ingredients to describe the epoch of cosmological recombination are amazingly simple and well-understood. This fact allows us to take into account a very large variety of processes, still finding potentially measurable consequences. In this contribution we highlight some of the detailed physics that were recently studied in connection with cosmological hydrogen recombination. The impact of these considerations is two-fold: (i) the associated release of photons during this epoch leads to interesting and unique deviations of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) energy spectrum from a perfect blackbody, which, in particular at decimeter wavelength, may become observable in the near future. Observing these distortions, in principle would provide an additional way to determine some of the key parameters of the Universe (e.g. the specific entropy, the CMB monopole temperature and the pre-stellar abundance of helium), not suffering from limitations set by cosmic variance. Also it permits us to confront our detailed understanding of the recombination process with direct observational evidence. In this contribution we illustrate how the theoretical spectral template for the cosmological recombination spectrum may be utilized for this purpose. (ii) with the advent of high precision CMB data, e.g. as will be available using the Planck Surveyor or Cmbpol, a very accurate theoretical understanding of the ionization history of the Universe becomes necessary for the interpretation of the CMB temperature and polarization anisotropies.

This introduction presents a brief review of projects carried out in Italy applying ICF model. ICF allows to capture and appropriately describe human functioning and disability in terms of body functions and body structures, life activities, participation in society, modulating contextual factors. ICF framework allows to have a complex profile of persons with different medical conditions. Several clinical studies have been performed using ICF and ICF-CY, in Italy from the publication of ICF in 2001 and ICF-CY in 2007. Most of them highlight the utility and feasibility of using ICF to describe the functional profiles of patients with different health conditions. The clinical applications of ICF clearly show that ICF-based functional profiles are useful in designing better interventions – directed not only to patients' health condition and symptoms but also to the most important activities of their daily living and environmental factors that may act as barriers or facilitators to the patients' recovery, well-being and participation in society.


Gyrotron FU CW GIA has been developed as a successor of Gyrotron FU CW GI. By using Gyrotron FU CW GIA, improvement of the energy conversion efficiency by improving the electron beam quality was investigated with two approaches; one is to reduce the misalignment between the cavity and magnetic coil axes. The other is the design modification of the magnetron injection gun (MIG) to suppress the electron velocity spread at the cavity. The two effects were separately examined. As the result an increase in the efficiency by several percent was obtained through reduction of the misalignment and a further increase by a few percent was obtained with modification of MIG.


Date production in the world is confined to a small number of countries, most of them being Arab. However, date industry in the Arab world is not yet fully developed and concerted efforts are still needed to fully utilize the tremendous date tree potential as a commodity that can be consumed in the local market or processed for export. Date palm cultivation is one of the most important agricultural activities in Oman. It occupies more than 82% of total fruit crop area and about 42% of total agricultural land. Not only is domestic demand met, but a surplus for export is also generated.Tremendous development has occurred in the production and distribution of dates during the last two decades. However, the contribution of dates to total agriculture exports was found to be low. This paper presents date palm crop in terms of its traditional practice and economic development in Oman. Results show that the quality of dates produced has not yet met approved standards and, therefore, the return to producers is not maximized. Resume


The authors reflect on their 1990 article, which won the 1995 William F. O'Dell Award, and the past and future trends in studies of diffusion and of empirical generalization.


In the new period,in terms of the nature of historiography,the historian circle of China formed the study style of layering thought from Mr.He Zhaowu's "dichotomy" to Professor Zhang Genghua's "quadripartition".It marked the mature of the study thought of historiography theory.The latter,which combined "layering thought" with "returning to the practice of historiography",is a new approach that corresponds with the reality.It has more significance to build new study approach.


To examine in detail the special features of the structure of the T-x-y diagrams with the immiscibility of the liquids, which are given in the literature sometimes with the inaccuracies or even with the errors, the 3-dimensional (3D) computer models of T-x-y diagrams are designed. Some of them are formed either by binary systems with monotectics or have monotectic transformations in the ternary system (without the immiscibility in the binary systems). There are diagrams with the co-existence of three liquid phases, and also diagrams with the sintectic uni- or invariant transformation. They all are included in the electronic Reference book, which contains 3D models of the diagrams T-x-y: 1) with the continuous series of solid solutions; 2) with the uni- and invariant transformations, given by one, two or three binary solubility gaps of eutectic and peritectic type; 3) with the binary and ternary compounds; 4) with the allotropy of components in different temperature intervals; 5) with the immiscibility.
The diagrams of the topology, not described before, but discovered in real systems, are included also in the Reference book. Each computer model is the template of phase diagram, which is converted into the model of the real system if to introduce experimental parameters (concentrations and temperatures of binary and ternary invariant points, and also characteristics of lines and surfaces curvature).
For instance, the subsystem Cu-Cu2S is characterized by the co-existence of two immiscible alloys in the presence of the compound Cu2S: L1=L2+R4.
The invariant monotectic reaction L1=L2+A1+R4 takes a place in the ternary subsystem Fe-FeS-Cu2S-Cu at 1074 C, and the immiscibility gap intersects the curve of the co-crystallization of the compound Cu2S and the intermediate polymorphous modification of iron gamma-Fe. Furthermore, another two invariant reactions L+gamma-Fe=Cu+Cu2S at 1070 C and L=gamma-Fe+FeS+Cu2S at 914 C take a place in the subsystem. The main innovation in 3D models consists of the construction of pseudo-fold on the solidus surface of the gamma-Fe modification. It is the directing of two ruled surfaces, it does not influence the smoothness of solidus and liquidus and solidus surfaces are topologically equivalent thanks to it.
The work was partially supported by the Russian Foundation for Basic Research (projects 14-08-00453 and 14-08-31468).

There are great hopes for the International Criminal Court's (icc's) reparative aspirations, which are regarded as an answer to demands for more victim-centric approaches to the pursuit of justice for atrocity crimes. Reparations are recognised as a right of victims, and it seems appropriate that the icc should attempt to combine reparations with its retributive approach to addressing grave human right abuses. However, the potential negative communicative value of icc reparations must not be overlooked. For one, icc reparations have the potential to relieve some suffering but also the potential to exacerbate tensions and compound the challenges of reintegration and acceptance of complex-victims because of their expressive nature. This article argues that it is precisely because of the unique nature of the Court as retributive, as a voice of international condemnation, and as an intervener in complex contexts that the expressive value of its reparations may make it ill-suited to award reparations tied to convictions.


There is described controlled linear system for signals protection. The basis of signal space with Hilbert structure is formed with generalized trigonometric functions, namely Ateb-functions. Using these functions Ateb-transforms are created as a special type of generalized Fourier transforms. It is shown that the built structure forms the algebra on a Hilbert function space with exterior multiplication defined as a convolution by means of generalized shift operator. The system can be used as adaptive signal processing in 5G Wireless Communications.


The purpose of the investigation was to study Academic Learning Time (ALT) of mainstreamed handicapped and nonhandicapped students. ALT was obtained on 60 nonhandicapped and 60 mainstreamed handicapped students in elementary school physical education classes. Subjects were selected from the classes of 7 teachers classified as individualized instruction users and 7 teachers classified as nonusers. A 2 × 2 analysis of variance was used in the data analysis. Results indicated that the students in the classes of users of individualized instruction were engaged in a significantly greater amount of ALT than were students of nonusers. There was no significant difference in the amount of ALT engaged in by mainstreamed handicapped and regular students.


First described by DrWilliam Little in the 1860s, cerebral palsy is a nonprogressive neurologic disorder, which is identified in infancy or early childhood and affects body movement and muscle coordination. Diagnosed typically by 2 to 3 years of age, children affected by cerebral palsy exhibit a large variety of symptoms, with a wide spectrum of effects. The Center for Disease Control estimates 10,000 babies are affected with cerebral palsy in the United States each year, and it is more common in infants born preterm. Although widely believed to be due predominantly to intrapartum events, recent data have found that birth asphyxia or birth trauma accounts for a very small proportion of cerebral palsy cases. The ACOGTask Force on Neonatal Encephalopathy and Cerebral Palsy found that nearly 70% of cases had antepartum risk factors, 25% had both antepartum and intrapartum risk factors, and only 4% had only intrapartum hypoxia as a risk factor. Over the last decade, advances in the definition, diagnosis, and treatment have been achieved, including interventions for both the mother (antenatal magnesium sulfate) and baby (hypothermia) have been tested to evaluate if they can reduce the rates of cerebral palsy. In this issue of Clinical Obstetrics and Gynecology, we focus on the Diagnosis, Prevention, and Treatment of Cerebral Palsy. These articles summarize the current available information. Dr Nigel Paneth reviews the definitions and criteria to establish diagnosis of cerebral palsy including the 2007 international definition of cerebral palsy.


Tradizione apostolica e coscienza cittadina a Milano nel medioevo: La leggenda di san Barnaba. By PAOLO TOMEA. Bibliotheca erudita: Studi e documenti di storia e filologia 2. Milan, Italy: Vita e Pensiero, Pubblicazioni dell'Universita Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, 1993. xviii + 699 pp. + 34 plates. L 96,000. Barnabas was a Levite from Cyprus who converted to Christianity and became a fellow worker of St. Paul. He ranked equal to the apostles, but the Acts of the Apostles does not mention him after his departure from Antioch, although according to tradition he returned to Cyprus. Paolo Tomea examines another tradition regarding Barnabas, that he established the church at Milan and thus earned for it the status of apostolic foundation. The legend of St. Barnabas at Milan derived primarily from the anonymous Libellus de situ civitatis Mediolani, dating, so it was thought, from the sixth century or earlier. According to Tomea, the first association between Barnabas and Milan occurred in the eighth century, the first manifestations of the legend at Milan date from the last quarter of the tenth century, and De situ dates from the first half of the eleventh century. In other words, almost a millennium passed before the Milanese ecclesiastical authorities claimed Barnabas as founder of their church, and almost another millennium would pass before historical scholarship completely demolished the legend.


ABSTRACT
 3D printers, which have been used in recent years, enable the conversion of a digital model into a physical 3D object by placing the filament material layer by layer and can help a wide variety of industries. Digital models can be created using software such as Solidworks and Catia or data created by a 3D scanner.
This study designed all parts of a two-stage reducer gearbox consisting of spur and helical gear pairs. The torques are calculated according to the input power. Shafts that can transmit torques are designed.
 On the other hand, gear wheels were calculated according to the total reduction ratio and were designed to transmit torques. CAD software (Solidworks) designed the gearbox parts, assembled them, and simulated them. Thus a digital model has been created. CAD models were transferred to the 3D printer. The slicing was done precisely using Cura software,
 On the other hand, the Marlin software reads the G codes created with Cura software sent from the computer. PLA (Polylactic Acid) was used as the filament material. The manufactured gearbox worked adequately, and the number of revolutions was reduced to 40 rpm from 800 rpm.

AbstractThis paper focuses on comparing the experiences of Large Enterprises (LEs) and Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in the U.S. to determine whether codes of ethics have (a) created ethical environments that lead to good behaviors, (b) been shared with members of the supply chain, and (c) impacted behaviors of members of the supply chain. The research utilized survey methodology. We used ANOVA and Factor Analysis as the tools for analyzing the data in the study. Results showed that most LEs and SMEs have formal codes of ethics, communicate their codes to employees, and provide training on these codes. However, the beneficial impact of ethics codes is more pronounced when codes are formally communicated to others and when management and employees are perceived as committed to responsible behaviors. More LEs share codes with members of their supply chains than do SMEs. However, sharing one's code of ethics has limited impacts on the behaviors of either vendor or customer employees. The extant research on the effectiveness of ethics codes has concentrated on experiences of LEs and has not been conclusive. Research addressing the experiences of SMEs is severely limited and primarily relates to European firms. These are critical shortcomings because: (a) the majority of firms in the U.S. and Europe are SMEs, and (b) the characteristics, structures, and operations of SMEs are different from those of large firms, thus making extrapolation to SMEs inappropriate. Our research is original because it addresses these two issues specifically in the context of the supply chain function.Keywords: Codes of Ethics, Supply Chain, Large Enterprises, Small and Medium Enterprises JEL Code: M14IntroductionThe issue of unethical and illegal activities in the business environment is one that no business can afford to take lightly. The results of corporate misconduct (intentional and unintentional) have already had dramatic negative impacts on society and on corporate performance. In the late 1990s, Estes (1996) estimated that the social costs associated with unethical and socially irresponsible corporate decisions were approximately 2.5 trillion dollars annually. Now, more than a decade later, the costs are inevitably higher.The need for strong ethical standards and actions is greater now than ever before. Today's global business environment is even more heavily impacted by corruption, high taxes, and intense competition, making firms vulnerable to unethical or illegal actions and practices (e.g., bribery, inappropriate labor practices, etc.) (Salam, 2009). In addition, in difficult economic environments, the pressures to survive (individually as well as organizationally) often result in ethical concerns being ignored (Vykarnam, Bailey, Myers, & Burnett 1997). To address these concerns, increasing numbers of firms are adopting formal measures to regulate themselves by creating corporate codes of ethics (Center for Business Ethics, 1992; Ethics Research Center, 1990, 1994).Early attempts to define ethics approached the concept as a field of study related to deliberate behaviors of individuals that could be evaluated on the basis of their causes (Barry, 1979) or their correctness (Thomas, 1984). Subsequent definitions of ethics centered on the appropriateness of individuals' decisions and choices from the perspective of whether such decisions and consequent actions were perceived as being good or bad (Chonko, 1995; Thompson, 2005). In the context of the business environment, ethics is viewed from the perspective of how individuals' behaviors and actions affect organizations or as the set of principles that should serve to influence individuals' behaviors within the business organization (Ferrell, Fraedrich, & Ferrell (2005).Codes of ethics are referred to by a variety of names in the literature, including codes of conduct, codes of practice, corporate credos, mission statements, and values statements (Schwartz, 2001). …


The starting point of this chapter is a particular moment in medieval intellectual history: the adaptation of the Aristotelian cosmological model by late medieval Christian thinkers, and its implications for thinking about demons. I will suggest that an increased feeling of human helplessness in the face of the cosmological pressures outlined in the Aristotelian model led some writers to suggest that demons worked with celestial influences to cause evil and suffering. My focus on this topic is part of a wider attempt to recover some of the numerous cosmologies, both written and unwritten, that are likely to have been conceived during the Middle Ages – since most, perhaps all, people have views of some sort about the structure and operations of the universe. My discussion is also intended to contribute to ongoing historiographical debates about the fifteenth century coalescence of witchcraft mythologies, and the textual strategies that led to some types of ritual magic having a positive reception at the end of the Middle Ages. As the Aristotelian model began to dominate medieval cosmological thought and to be adapted to essential theological principles, the physical location of demons seemed relatively unproblematic. At the centre of this cosmological model was Earth, enclosed first within the spheres of the four elements; then the spheres of the seven planets, a crystalline sphere and the empyrean heaven. The transparent celestial spheres, closely nested within one another like the layers of an onion (a popular analogy of the time) moved with continuous circular motions and exerted a powerful influence on the physical world. In the outermost sphere was the most sacred part of this cosmos, the empyrean heaven: the dwelling place of the highest group of angels, the Saints and Christ. It had also once been the habitation of the fallen angels, before they had rebelled against God and lost the war in Heaven. In the Aristotelian cosmological model, the demons fell through the spheres, alighting deep in the earth's core at the furthest point from God's natural location in the highest heaven (Figure 1). But as Aristotle's cosmology made a strong distinction between a perfect, unchanging celestial realm and the imperfect and corruptible region beneath the sphere of the Moon, it was easy to imagine some demons, perhaps those which were less evil, swarming in a higher airy realm from which they converged on the physical world of men to tempt and torment them.


This paper presents an evaluating method for seismic reliability and costs of a lifesaving lifeline connecting to a hospital during an earthquake. By using the reliability analysis method for a lifeline network based on the Monte Carlo method, reliability of a virtual model and a real one of Yatsushiro-city water supply pipeline network is evaluated. Numerical computations are performed for models with various conditions of ground and pipes. As a result, in a case of seismic intensity 5, the reliability of a pipeline connecting to a hospital near the sea side is low. In a case of seismic intensity 6, all nodes connecting to hospitals have very low reliability and this suggests that other methods of preparing for earthquakes are needed except improving method of conditions of grounds or pipes.


Codoped ZnO thin films were prepared on silicon (111) substrates by cosputtering of aluminium rods and zinc target using DC magnetron sputtering followed by heat treatment at 300 °C for 1 hour at different ratios of oxygen and nitrogen gas. Results indicated that the co doped p-type ZnO had the lowest resistivity of 3.412 × 10−3 Ω.cm with a carrier concentration of 1.54 × 1022 cm−3.


Morphine, codeine, dilaudid, and desomorphine inhibit the activity of cholinesterase from the following sources: human, dog or rabbit serum, and human or rabbit brain. The degree of inhibition varies with the source of the enzyme, which might account for the selective action of these drugs on physiological systems. The inhibition is in part competitive and in part non-competitive, judging by the relative reaction velocity at different substrate concentrations. The affinity of the alkaloids for the enzyme in human serum is as great (dilaudid) or greater (codeine, morphine and desomorphine) than the affinity of the enzyme for acetylcholine.


A new fabrication process for polycrystalline silicon (poly-Si) thin-film transistors (TFTs) on glass substrate is reported. Amorphous silicon (a-Si) was crystallized by silicide-mediated crystallization (SMC) using CoSi 2 for low temperature crystallization. The a-Si films coated with 10,000 ppm Co solution were almost completely crystallized by annealing at 500 °C for 30 hrs. The poly-Si TFT made of SMC poly-Si exhibited a field effect mobility of 26 cm 2 /Vs, a threshold voltage of 0 V and a sub-threshold slope of 0.61 V/dec.


Objective To explore the effects of anthocyanin on lipopolysaccharide(LPS)-induced nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) expression with nitric oxide (NO) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) release in macrophages. Method THP-1 cells were cultured in the presence of 167 nmol/L phorbol 12-myristate 3-acetate (PMA) for 48 h to induce monocyte–macrophage differentiation. After that,THP-1 macrophages were incubated with 1,10,50 or 100 μmol/L C3G for 2 h and then treated with 1 μg/ml LPS for another 12 h. RT-PCR and Western blotting were used to analyze iNOS and COX-2 gene and protein expression. Additionally,the LPS-induced NO and PGE2 release in macrophages were assayed by the methods of Griess and EIA,respectively. Results Anthocyanins inhibited LPS-induced iNOS and COX-2 expression with NO and PGE2 release in macrophages. Conclusion Anthocyanins can cause inhibition of LPS-induced iNOS and COX-2 at both mRNA and protein levels together with decrease in NO and PGE2 production,indicating that it can be used as a potential anti-inflammatory reagent to treat many inflammatory-related diseases such as atherosclerosis.

We carried out using the vibration measurement value of the cooling water pump and the measured value was calculated for the abnormal value for each cooling water pump by statistical processing. Similarly, the result evaluation by the vibration diagnostician and the statistical processing result were compared. Although there was a difference between the evaluation of the ISO 18436 vibration diagnostician and the statistical processing result, it was found that it is possible to detect abnormality of the circulation pump using statistical processing. INTRODUCTION The LINAC and RCS cooling systems have cooling capacities of 6MW and 26MW respectively. The LINAC and RCS are composed of 10 and 3 independent circulation loops. In February 2017, from experience the breakage of the circulation pumps due to the flow operations at the LINAC, we began to develop detection systems focused on abnormal vibration measurement for circulation pumps. In addition, in January 2018, we experienced shutdown of the systems due to wear of the circulation pumps bearings. From the experiences, in February 2018, the pumps of the LINAC and RCS, the total number is 25, were evaluated by vibration diagnosticians. In addition, we performed multivariate analysis using the figures obtained by the vibration measurement at that time and compared values by vibration diagnosticians with the figures showing the degree of abnormally outputted by statistical processing. In this report, we will mention the results of measurement of measurement for circulation pumps and states of the development the systems for abnormally vibration from statistical processing. WATER COOLING SYSTEM The main specification of the water cooling system is indicated in Table 1. The cooling equipment of LINAC is composed of 10 parts, cooler exchanger, refrigerator, cooling water tank, temperature regulator, cooling jellyfish tube and something. They are built in LINAC. The cooling equipment of RCS is composed of 3 parts and cool down electromagnet, RF cavity and electromagnet power supply. VIBRATION MEASUREMENT Vibration Measurement 1 In January 2018, when we get perform patrol check, we found abnormal sounds from nearby bearing. We show Figure 1, it is a condition of circulation pump (P2202) when it's bearing get abnormal. Also, we show regular specification of circulation pump in Table 2. We have exchanged bearing every 2 years since 2006. From experience of LINAC circulation pumps breakage, we installed portable detection systems two days later we check abnormal sounds. The detection systems we used is made by RION Co.,Ltd. The system's format is VA-12. Measurement positions are 2. We set up it in axial direction close to the impeller bearing. The measurement item is RMS, Peak, velocity and time. 6 days later we found abnormal sounds and 4 days later we start to detect, we stopped LINAC's bearing because if we keep the bearing running impeller and casing are conflicted and pumps are broken as displacement is over maximum. We show you to time series changes of acceleration, velocity and displacement in Figures 2, 3 and 4.

It is a higher request of present quality education to change the P. E. teaching pattern and improve the teaching quality. To some extent,the P. E. teachers'method of thinking is tied by the traditional P. E. teaching pattern which makes the teachers trap in the fixed and doctrinal teaching pattern and holds up the development of P. E. teaching. So the modern P. E. teaching should introduce the incentive system to improve and innovate the P. E. teaching pattern'so as to enable P. E. teaching to develop toward a tendency of pluralithg. Only in this way can we succeed in the cultivation of the students' lifelong P. E. awareness.


Health care workers and researchers are increasingly recognizing the religiosity/spirituality (R/S) great dimension in health. It is important to note that investigations had pointed studies which found spirituality as a significant positive factor on physical health, subjective wellbeing and life satisfaction. Others also evidenced a negative burden of spirituality in mental health, through negative religious coping, negative beliefs and miscommunication. In 2008, The World Psychiatric Association (WPA) declared the spiritual wellbeing as an important health aspect, reinforcing the R/S valuation of the patients with mental disorders. Noticing the necessity of more knowledge about the subject the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV) introduced a new category called "Religious and Spiritual Problems" to angle the diagnostic attention, justifying the evaluation of religious and spiritual experiences as a constituent part. Patients want the assistance team to demonstrate a holistic interest during interventions, including spiritual support during illness. Visualizing mental health assistance's future as a continuous path towards a better understanding of men's complexity and integrated health care, it seems appropriate to say that spirituality/religiosity will play a great role in this direction.
