What are the factors strengthening the entrepreneurial intention in University students

Sub Theme: Life Long Learning and Skills Development for Sustainable Entrepreneurial Development. Objectives: To identify what are the factors that can be used for strengthening the entrepreneurial intention in students. Theoretical Background/Previous Practice: This paper is partly based on my previous paper called the relationship of resilience and entrepreneurial intention which was done between students and employees. This research was done as a career in entrepreneurship offers significant opportunities for individuals to achieve financial independence and benefit of the economy by contributing to job creation, innovation and economic growth. However, in Indonesia there was only 0.18 percent from about 200 million people who are entrepreneurs which is far less than 2 percent of the people. As a result, there are many government programs undertaken in order to boost new entrepreneurs. In this regard, the identification of the profile of entrepreneurial intentions in students, will also add the information needed about factors needed to strengthen and/or develop this intention. Approach/Methods: This paper is written based on 5 research studies done at University students, which collaborated into one research umbrella under the topic of Entrepreneurial Intention. Results/Insights: The results show that in general the University Students can be categorized as having moderate entrepreneurial intentions. However, there are no significant correlation amongst locus of control, emotional & behaviour independent as well as adversity quotients with entrepreneurial intentions. On the other hand, there is a positive and significant correlation between entrepreneurial self efficacy and observational learning with entrepreneurial intention. From the study it can be concluded that, the characteristics of the person itself are not enough in developing the entrepreneurial intention. There should be a basic entrepreneurial self efficacy on them, and supported with the presence of role models. Implications: The future research is needed to study about the psychological characteristics as mentioned in relationship with the entrepreneurial intentions in a larger and in more diverse respondents. On the other hand, it appears that in relation to enhance the entrepreneurial intentions in students there should be more efforts in terms of training, workshops, role modelling in order to develop stronger entrepreneurial intentions in University students.
C3-epimer cross-reactivity of automated 25-hydroxyvitamin D immunoassays

tussen beide groepen na correctie voor de nierfunc-tie (p=0,03). Bovendien vertoonde de patientengroep een significante daling (p=0,02) in de gecorrigeerde natriumuitscheiding voor en na het volgen van het zoutbeperkt dieet gedurende 2 maanden. Hieruit kan geconcludeerd worden dat de patienten zich netjes aan het zoutbeperkt dieet hebben gehouden.Deze studie laat zien dat het volgen van een zoutbe-perkt dieet gedurende 2 maanden, en een daarmee ge -paard gaande verlaagde jodium inname, geen invloed heeft op de jodiumstatus.
Efficacy and cost of home-initiated auto-nCPAP versus conventional nCPAP.

STUDY OBJECTIVES To compare in a multicenter prospective study the efficacy and cost of conventional nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP) initiated at the sleep laboratory versus auto-nCPAP initiated at home. DESIGN Patients with severe obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) were randomized to treatment with either the REM+ auto device in constant mode at the effective pressure determined by titration at the sleep laboratory (n=17) or the REM+ auto device in automatic mode initiated at the patients home by a nurse (n=18). After 2 months, the efficacy and cost of nCPAP therapy and the time from diagnosis to nCPAP were evaluated. All values are reported as means +/- SD. PATIENTS Thirty-five subjects with newly diagnosed OSAS (8 women and 27 men, mean age: 54.3 +/- 10.6 years, apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) 58.1 +/- 14.0 h(-1)). INTERVENTIONS N/A. MEASUREMENTS AND RESULTS Both treatments were used properly and induced similar decreases in the AHI (7.6 +/- 6.9 vs. 10.4 +/ -12.5 h(-1) for auto-nCPAP and conventional nCPAP, respectively; NS) and Epworth Sleepiness score (from 15.5 +/- 4.7 to 7.5 +/- 3.4 vs. 14.7 +/- 3.9 to 7.6 +/- 3.4 for auto-nCPAP and conventional nCPAP, respectively; NS). With auto-nCPAP initiated at home, the time from diagnosis to final adjustment of nCPAP was shorter (16.3 +/- 5.0 vs. 47.2 +/- 46.5 days with conventional nCPAP, P < 0.02) and the cost was lower (1,263 +/- 352 vs. 1720+/-455 E, respectively; P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Treatment of OSAS with auto-nCPAP initiated at home is effective and reliable and reduces the time from diagnosis to therapy and the cost of treatment.
The Follow-up of Trapeziometacarpal Arthrodesis Using V-shaped Osteotomy for Osteoarthritis of The First Carpometacarpal Joint

Introduction: Osteoarthritis of the trapeziometacarpal joint, also known as the thumb carpometacarpal joint, is one of the most common anatomic sites of arthritis in the human body. Many surgical techniques to address this problem have been developed; including, trapeziectomy with or without ligament reconstruction tendon interposition, implant arthroplasty, and arthrodesis. No methods have yet proven superior to the others, and each has associated limitations and complications. The primary complication found in the literature after arthrodesis of the trapeziometacarpal joint is nonunion; with a reported incidence in the literature as 13% (8% to 39%). Methods: In 2010, a new surgical technique for this procedure was published by Wolff and Duerinckx in Techniques in Hand Surgery. In summary, a V-shaped osteotomy is made at the base of the first metacarpal and, together with a matching osteotomy of the trapezium, creates a more stable fusion site. Our current research looks at a minimum of 2-year follow-up of patients treated with this technique between 2004 and 2012. Results: Twenty-one patients, including 3 who had bilateral procedures, have participated in the study. The average age is 62.6 years (range, 51 to 76 y) with an average follow-up of 4.6 years (range, 2 to 8 y). Sixteen are female and 5 are male, with a variety of occupations. In these patients, the Quick DASH score improved 51% (49.8 to 24.2; P=0.0006), and the Quick DASH Work score improved 56% (52.8 to 23.2; P=0.0035). Nineteen of 21 patients said that they wound have the procedure again. Range of motion and strength of the operated versus nonoperated thumbs were compared and showed very similar capabilities. Seventy-five percent (18 of 24) were able to lay their hand flat. There were 4 fibrous unions, resulting in an 83% complete fusion rate. There were no infections or reoperations for nonunion. Conclusion: The data suggest that this procedure is a highly successful, pain-relieving, strength-preserving, reproducible arthrodesis with a nonunion rate similar to that of the published literature.
NMDA- and non-NMDA-receptor components of excitatory synaptic potentials recorded from cells in layer V of rat visual cortex

The pharmacological properties of excitatory synapses on pyramidal cells in layer V of rat visual cortex were investigated by recording EPSPs intracellularly in tissue slices. The EPSPs were evoked by electrically stimulating cells in layer II/III or axons in white matter. All of the layer V neurons were pyramidal in nature as determined by injections of Lucifer yellow or by electrophysiological criteria. Application of the broadly acting antagonists kynurenic acid and gamma-D-glutamylglycine reversibly antagonized the EPSPs from both presynaptic sources in a dose-dependent manner: 1 and 5 mM kynurenic acid produced 63 and 79% reductions, respectively, of control responses. The specific NMDA antagonist APV (50 microM) caused a small reduction in peak amplitude and a more significant reduction in the duration of the falling phase of EPSPs. When slices were bathed in Mg2+- free medium, the amplitude of the EPSP increased substantially. Under these conditions APV reduced the size of the EPSP to that observed with APV in the presence of 1 mM Mg2+. The voltage sensitivities of the APV- sensitive and APV-insensitive components of the layer II/III-evoked EPSPs were examined. The APV-insensitive component was not voltage dependent and had an extrapolated reversal potential of -10 mV. In contrast, the APV-sensitive component showed an NMDA-like voltage dependency; it was greatest at the most positive potentials tested (-45 mV) and nearly absent at membrane potentials below rest. At potentials near threshold, the APV-sensitive component contributed approximately half of the total response. Although the time to peak and decay were longer for the APV-sensitive component, the latency was the same as that of the APV-insensitive component. These results provide evidence that the layer II/III to V pathway, which comprises a major interlaminar circuit in cortex, is mediated directly through NMDA as well as non-NMDA receptors located on the layer V cells. This finding has implications for the role of this circuit in cortical visual plasticity.
Tax-Based Modeling of Zakat Compliance ( Pemodalan Kepatuhan Zakat Berasaskan Cukai )

This study aims to formulate a model of zakat compliance for formal zakat collection institutions based upon tax compliance model. The study further conducts an empirical examination of the application of the model developed utilizing a case study on the Province of Acheh. The study demonstrates that it is possible to construct a zakat compliance model based upon the tax compliance model. The case study of Acheh also suggests that individual zakat compliance was not significantly influenced by zakat law, but by factors of demography (gender and age), reference group, education, and the perception on the tax system.
Sexual orientation and adolescent substance use: a meta-analysis and methodological review.

AIMS Several decades of research have shown that lesbian, gay and bisexual (LGB) adults are at high risk for substance use and substance use disorders (SUDs). These problems may often start prior to young adulthood; however, relatively little is known about risk for substance use in LGB adolescents. The primary aims of this paper were to conduct a meta-analysis of the relationship between sexual orientation and adolescent substance use and a systematic review and critique of the methodological characteristics of this literature. METHODS Medical and social science journals were searched using Medline and PsychInfo. Studies were included if they tested the relationship between sexual orientation and adolescent substance use. Eighteen published studies were identified. Data analysis procedures followed expert guidelines, and used National Institutes of Health (NIH)-sponsored meta-analysis software. RESULTS LGB adolescents reported higher rates of substance use compared to heterosexual youth (overall odds ratio = 2.89, Cohen's d = 0.59). Effect sizes varied by gender, bisexuality status, sexual orientation definition and recruitment source. None of the studies tested mediation and only one tested moderation. One employed a matched comparison group design, one used a longitudinal design, and very few controlled for possible confounding variables. CONCLUSIONS The odds of substance use for LGB youth were, on average, 190% higher than for heterosexual youth and substantially higher within some subpopulations of LGB youth (340% higher for bisexual youth, 400% higher for females). Causal mechanisms, protective factors and alternative explanations for this effect, as well as long-term substance use outcomes in LGB youth, remain largely unknown.
Reading strategies of bilingual normally progressing and dyslexic readers in Hindi and English

This study examined the reading accuracy of dyslexic readers in comparison to chronological age-matched normally progressing readers in Hindi and English using word reading tasks, matched for spoken frequency of usage, age of acquisition, imageability, and word length. Both groups showed significantly greater reading accuracy in Hindi than in English. For normally progressing readers, spoken frequency of usage had no significant effect in Hindi and a significant effect in English, whereas for dyslexic readers it had a significant effect in both languages. In Hindi, normally progressing readers produced only nonword errors; dyslexic readers produced a far greater percentage of nonword than word errors. In English, normally progressing readers produced greater percentage of word than nonword errors, whereas dyslexic readers produced greater percentage of nonword than word errors. Results are discussed in terms of orthographic transparency, sublexical, and lexical reading strategies.
The Cultural Context of Negotiations: The Implications of Chinese Interpersonal Norms

This article discusses distinctive characteristics of Chinese negotiating behavior as compared to that typical of the United States. Following a review of relevant research; the authors found that Confucian philosophy continues to provide the foundation of Chinese cultural traditions and values, with the tenets of harmony, hierarchy, developing one's moral potential and kinship affiliation having relevance for interpersonal behavior. An analysis of three key interpersonal norms illustrates the impact of culture on the negotiation process: emotional restraint and politeness as basic to communication, an emphasis on social obligations, and the interrelationship of the life domains of work, family, and friendship. Based on these norms, the authors offer recommendations for preparing, conducting, and concluding negotiations with one's Chinese counterparts.
Islamism, Trade Unionism and Civil Society: The Case of Hak-İş Labour Confederation in Turkey

Civil society and democratization have recently become vital issues in the search for democracy and liberty in Eastern Europe and the Middle East. This agenda has been particularly important for Turkey, where democratic politics has been caught in the difficulties of consolidation, due to the strong state tradition, which weakens the bases of any social and political autonomy and action. The problems of the consolidation are complicated by the significant part played by the Islamist parties and organizations in the Turkish political system in the second part of the 1990s. Although various constituents of civil society such as business associations, political parties, and religious movements have received much interest in recent years, scant attention has been paid to the activities of labour organizations, as they are not usually seen as an important actor in the Turkish political and social scene. ' When labour is examined in the Turkish context, it is usually the mainstream or socialist labour organizations that have received attention. Quataert rightly points out that labour and labour movements that 'did not or do not adopt left wing ideologies also deserve attention'. 2 This brings us to the subject of the article: Hak-Ia (the Confederation of Righteous Trade Unions) labour confederation in Turkey. We believe that much is to be gained from an analysis of Hak-I* in explaining the transformation of the Islamist movement in Turkey. While the business wing of the Islamist movement in Turkey has been examined, their labour counterpart has been mostly overlooked, despite its proximity to Islamist political parties. What makes Hak-I~ worth analysing is not so much its numerical strength as its organizational and ideological transformation. Hak-l? 's contribution to democratization lies not in its economic or political strength in the sphere of industrial relations but in its democratizing influence within the larger Islamic movement. As Bugra has noted, Hak-I? deserves some attention in the analysis of political economy of Islam in Turkey because it was the first Islamist organization in Turkey that has attempted to move from political Islamism to adapting western styles of democracy and secularism in its discourse and action.3 The study of Islamist trade unionism in Turkey can also teach us much about the possible democratic transformations other Turkish Islamist groups are currently experiencing. It would be difficult, if not impossible, to understand democratization and the development of civil society without analysing the role of
Hard-to-Value Stocks, Behavioral Biases, and Informed Trading

This paper uses investor-level data to provide direct evidence for an intuitive but surprisingly untested proposition that investors make larger investment mistakes when valuation uncertainty is higher and stocks are more difficult to value. Using multiple measures of valuation uncertainty and multiple behavioral bias proxies, I show that individual investors exhibit stronger behavioral biases when stocks are harder to value and when market-level uncertainty is higher. I also find that informed trading intensity is higher among stocks where individual investors exhibit stronger behavioral biases. Collectively, these results indicate that uncertainty at both stock and market levels amplifies individual investors’ behavioral biases and that relatively better informed investors attempt to exploit those biases.
The interprofessional learning experience: Findings from a qualitative study based in an outpatient setting

ABSTRACT Clinical interprofessional education has traditionally taken place in hospital wards, but much diagnosis and treatment have shifted to the outpatient setting. The logical consequence is to shift more students’ clinical placements from the “bedside” to outpatient settings. However, it is unclear how we ensure that this shift maximises learning. The purpose of this article is to understand the authentic learning experience in an interprofessional outpatient clinic setting. We performed an exploratory case study with interviews of four nursing students, 13 medical students, and six staff members who worked in an interprofessional outpatient orthopaedic clinic from March 2015 to January 2016. The interviews were transcribed and analysed using systematic text condensation. The students’ self-reported learning experience in this outpatient clinic was characterised by direct patient contact and by authentic, interprofessional, task-based learning, and a preference for indirect supervision when conducting uncomplicated patient consultations. The supervisors intended to create this interprofessional outpatient clinic experience by having a clear teaching approach based on adult learning principles in a safe and challenging learning environment. The shift to the outpatient setting was strongly and practically supported by the management. This study indicates that student learning can be shifted to the outpatient clinic setting if there is supportive management and dedicated supervisors who establish a challenging yet safe interprofessional learning environment.
Engineering Open Complex Agent Systems: A Case Study

Open complex agent systems (OCAS) are becoming increasingly important in constructing problem-solving systems for enterprise applications. are challenging because they present very high system complexities involving human users and interactions with a changing environment. The existing agent-oriented software engineering (AOSE) approaches have trouble in engineering OCAS because of a number of deficiencies, e.g., lacking the capability of handling system dynamics analysis. This paper introduces an effective AOSE approach, i.e., organization- and service-oriented system analysis and design (OSOAD). It is used to extract and model system members and design a real-life OCAS system called financial trading rule automated development and evaluation (F-Trade). Through the case studies of visual and formal modeling and design of major organizational members, relations, and subsystems in F-Trade, this paper demonstrates the effective mechanisms and capabilities of the OSOAD approach. System implementation and evaluation results further show that OSOAD provides comprehensive AOSE support for engineering real-world open complex agent organizations.
Long-term trends and Changes in numbers and distribution of some wintering waterfowl species along the Swedish Baltic coast.

Regular counts of wintering waterfowl have been undertaken as a part of the International Waterfowl Census (IWC) and the National Swedish Environmental Monitoring Program since 1964. After the first years, a network of annually surveyed sites was established for the calculation of annual indices. Country-wide surveys (also including aerial counts) were undertaken 1971–1974, 1987–1989, 1992–1993 (partial) and 2004. During the survey period, increasing trends were found in Mallard (Anas platyrhynchos), Tufted Duck (Aythya fuligula), Pochard (Aythya ferina), Goldeneye (Bucephala clangula), Red-breasted Merganser (Mergus serrator), Mute Swan (Cygnus olor) and Cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo). Some of these trends reflect genuine population changes; others are related to changing winter conditions, e.g. the establishment of a new wintering tradition for Wigeon (Anas penelope). Tufted Duck and Goldeneye decreased in the south and increased in the northern part of the coast. Mallard, on the other hand, increased .
Measuring Integrated Variance with Extreme-Value Based Estimators

Driven by the rise in computational power, it has become popular to measure integrated variance with high-frequency squared returns. Though the squared return is a natural choice as a variance estimate, it is not the most efficient one for a given interval length. Extreme-value based estimators incorporate the information of the first, high, low and last price observation of a price path interval and are several times more efficient than the squared return estimate. Though these estimators have mainly been applied to daily data, they are defined over an arbitrary interval length, hence it is straightforward to apply these estimators to high-frequency data to get a non-parametric integrated variance estimate similar to realized variance. This study compares several extreme-value based estimators and the realized variance estimator of integrated variance within a high-frequency framework in terms of bias and efficiency with an extensive Monte Carlo study for various assumptions about the underlying price process including large drifts, stochastic volatility with leverage effects and also an orthogonal market microstructure noise. The simulation results strongly suggest the use of extreme-value based estimators over the common practice of summed high-frequency squared returns to measure the integrated variance. All extreme-value based estimators are superior both interms of bias and efficiency for any given sampling frequency for all considered price process definitions. The efficiency of the estimators is confirmed empirically on the basis of 10 years of S&P 500 futures data sampled at a 5-minute frequency. A state-space framework reveals the latent stochastic volatility process and allows for a comparison of the error of the considered estimators.
