Reducing the overhead for quantum computation when noise is biased

We analyze a model for fault-tolerant quantum computation with low overhead suitable for situations where the noise is biased. The basis for this scheme is a gadget for the fault-tolerant preparation of magic states that enable universal fault-tolerant quantum computation using only Clifford gates that preserve the noise bias. We analyze the distillation of $|T\ensuremath{\rangle}$-type magic states using this gadget at the physical level, followed by concatenation with the 15-qubit quantum Reed-Muller code, and comparing our results with standard constructions. In the regime where the noise bias (rate of Pauli $Z$ errors relative to other single-qubit errors) is greater than a factor of 10, our scheme has lower overhead across a broad range of relevant noise rates.
The development of student teachers’ research knowledge, beliefs and attitude

This study reports on the development of second-year student teachers’ knowledge of research, and the changes in their beliefs and attitude regarding research during an introductory course at an institute for primary teacher education. Questionnaires and concept maps were administered before and after the course. The results showed that student teachers’ knowledge about research grew during the introductory course and that their positive beliefs about research became more positive, while their negative beliefs about research decreased. A positive change was found concerning the attractiveness of research to student teachers. Furthermore, student teachers’ self-efficacy regarding research appeared related to their beliefs and attitude: the more the student teachers were convinced of their abilities to conduct and use the results of research after the course, the more positive their beliefs and their attitude regarding research were. This study provides guidelines for institutes for teacher education on integrating research activities into their curricula, so that their student teachers develop research knowledge and positive beliefs and attitudes towards research.
Prevalence of Undernutrition among Preschool Children under Five Attending Pediatric OPD in a Tertiary Care Hospital of Northeastern India

Background: Prevalence of undernutrition in developing countries, though on the declining trend, is still a cause for alarm.The prevalence in India is among the highest in the world. In such a scenario,this study was undertaken to find out the nutritional status of under five children attending the pediatric OPD of a tertiary care hospital of North East india. Methodology: The study was an OPD based cross sectional study carried out at the Pediatric OPD, NEIGRIHMS, Shillong.The study was carried out from 1stJanuary 2012 – 31st December 2012. Weight and Height was taken by trained staff following standard anthropometric techniques. A total of 6624 children aged 0-60 months were included in the study.Results: A total of 6624 children aged 0-60 months were enrolled during 1st January 2012 – 31st December 2012 in the Pediatric OPD, NEIGRIHMS. Out of these, 6183 children were included in the present analyses. Overall the prevalence of underweight, stunting and wasting was 19.7%, 35.5% and 8.5% respectively. Of these, 9.0%, 19.7% and 3.4% children were found to be severely underweight, stunted and wasted. It was observed that the prevalence of underweight, stunting and wasting was significantly higher in boys than girls. Based on the World Health Organization classification of severity in malnutrition, the overall prevalence of underweight (>19%) and stunting (>30%) was high. While the prevalence rates of wasting (5–9%) were medium. Conclusion: The nutritional status of the subjects is unsatisfactory. There is scope for a detailed community based study and nutritional interventions
Integrated Management of Stem Rot Disease (Sclerotium rolfsii) of Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) Using Rhizobium and Trichoderma harzianum (ITCC - 4572)

Soil-borne plant pathogenic fungi cause heavy crop losses all over the world. With variable climate from region to region, most crops grown in India are susceptible to diseases caused by soil-borne fungal pathogens. Among tropical and subtropical land crops, groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is an important oil seed crop, providing vegetable oil as human food and oil cake meal as animal poultry feed. A large number of diseases attack groundnut plants in India; of these, stem rot (collar rot) caused by Sclerotium rolfsii is the most common disease. Certain well-studied chemical pesticide management strategies are available for reducing damage by S. rolfsii, but increasing awareness about the health hazards and environmental problems due to the use of chemical pesticides resulted in the development of Integrated Pest Management. In the present study, integrated management of stem rot disease of groundnut using a combined application of Rhizobium and Trichoderma harzianum (ITCC - 4572) was performed. The results indicated that the application of these native micro-organisms successfully decreases the stem rot incidence and also increases the growth of the groundnut plants. The plant growth promoting activity and disease control ability of these microbial agents are discussed.
Employees’ Perception Regarding the Role of Specific HRM Practices in Knowledge Intensive Firms

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the employees’ perceptions about association between specific HRM practices and employees’ knowledge sharing. Based on previous literature, a model is proposed for the study and hypotheses are formulated. The cross-sectional dataset comes from a sample of 390 employees of 19 Pakistani KIFs. Confirmatory factor analyses were employed to evaluate the reliability and validity of the measurement model and the research model was tested using structural equation modeling. The results suggest that specific HRM practices, for instance, recruitment and selection and reward systems show a positive relationship with knowledge sharing, as perceived by the employees of these organisations. We also found a positive relationship among individual and organisational capability in workplaces. A key finding of this study is that recruitment and selection have a much greater impact on knowledge sharing than reward systems. In this study, knowledge-sharing behaviour is examined using specific HRM practices. Findings should be confirmed using a larger sample, as well as through longitudinal study. This study will be beneficial for researchers, practitioners, scholars, organisational leaders and employees. It will also be helpful for those interested in organisational structure and relationships across organisations in knowledge context. This study makes a valuable contribution, given that there is a lack of empirical studies of this nature focusing on the South East Asian region. Our findings are more interesting given that the current study is based on employees’ perception and employees’ views are similar to than that of management’s views in KIFs. Int. J. Soc. Sc. Manage.

Impact of fermented total mixed rations on intake, VFA and methane production of dairy heifers

The objective of this study was to determine the effect of feeding two fermented total mixed ration (FTMR) on methane production in dairy heifers. Four Holstein Friesian dairy heifers with mean body weight (BW) of 301.1 ± 42.2 kg were used in a simple cross-over design trial. Treatments consisted of 2 FTMR formulated to yield either low (LMD) or high CH4 production (HMD). No differences were observed in dry matter intake (DMI; 6.49 and 6.19 kg/d), BW change (-3.37 and -7.25 kg), or DM digestibility (50.64 and 46.99%) between diets. Ruminal pH, total volatile fatty acids (TVFA) and molar proportions of acetate, propionate and butyrate were not different among diets. Concentrations of blood glucose were higher (P=0.05) for HMD compared with LMD at 2 h post feeding; however, blood urea nitrogen was not different. Methane emissions were 236.32 L/d for LMD and 273.70 L/d for HMD and not different. Feeding the FTMR differing in CH4 potential did not affect DMI, digestibility, ruminal TVFA production or molar proportions of VFAs in dairy heifers.
Oral Health Status of Individuals with Cleft Lip, Cleft Palate or Both in a Nigerian Population

Oral Health Status of Individuals with Cleft Lip, Cleft Palate or Both in a Nigerian Population Background: Cleft lip and/or palate (CL/P) deformities are congenital anomalies with fissures of either the lip, palate or both combined. The altered oral anatomy causes physiological changes and diminished self cleansing ability. The oral hygiene may thus not be properly maintained. Aim: A prospective study of the oral health status of individuals with these deformities in Lagos-Nigeria was carried out to determine the need, types, and extent of pre-operative dental management that these patients may require. Material and Methods: Individuals with orofacial deformities in Lagos were screened by a CL/P management team at a sponsored treatment programme between April and June 2007. All those with CL/P deformities that were seen during the exercises participated in the study. Dental examinations included inspections for caries, plaque, calculus, gingivitis, malocclusions and enamel hypoplasia. The following parameters were assessed: Oral Hygiene, Debris, and Calculus Indices; Periodontal diseases, Caries experience, and CPITN. Results: Fifty-two cases with CL/P were seen. The ages ranged from 3weeks to 32years (mean 11.5 ± 10.9). CLP was the commonest presentation (48 %). The mean Oral Hygiene Index Score was 2.1 and 38.6 % had good oral hygiene. Highest prevalence of caries was in the age group 26-30 years. Enamel hypoplasia in primary dentition was present in one subject and 50 % of permanent dentition. Nearly 50 % of the cases had malocclusion and different degrees of periodontal diseases. All the cases in age group 31-35 years had calculus. Conclusion: The oral health status of patients with CL/P deformities is poor in the environment in which the study was conducted.
Use of sunflower meal in feed mixtures for laying hens

erman V. N. Mas. V. Melenjuk. F. Dumanovski. Z. Mikulec: Useo/Sunflower Meal ill Feed Mixtures/or L(Iyillg Hens. Acta vet. Bmo 1997.66: 219-227. The nutritional effects of using decorticated sunflower meal (44 % protein) as the protein supplement in the laying hens feed mixture on egg production were investigated. The trial was performed on 75 laying hens (line hybrid Issa brown) during the first 150 days of lay. The hens were divided in five groups: control. and four experimental groups (15 hens in each). The control group (C) was fed on a commercial complete feed mixture (com-soybean meal and fish meal). The experimental feed mixtures contained sunflower meal (Ell. sunflower meal with correction of energy value by addition of sunflower oil (E,l. sunflower meal with correction of lysine (E,l and sunflower meal with con'ection of energy vaiue and lysine (E4 ). • The highest egg production was found in groups E3 and E4. The lowest consumption offeed was established in group E Iwhile the highest consumption was found in groups E3 and C. The highest increase in body mass was achieved in group E4. The deficiency of lysine in sunflower meal (Ell contributed to lower body mass, feed consumption and egg mass. Feed mixtures containing sunflower meal as the protein supplement (all experimental grouPS) had no influence on the health or mortality of laying hens. The results of this experiment indicate the possibility of a successfull use of sunflower meal in the nutrition of laying hens if sunflower meal is balanced with lysine and energy value.

A LINKED POLICE AND HOSPITAL ROAD ACCIDENT DATABASE FOR HUMBERSIDE

The current system used to collect road accident statistics provides no detailed information on the injuries sustained, nor does it account for all the road accidents and casualties resulting from them. Other studies have attempted to link hospital casualty data to those contained on the police reports, but with limited success. The method outlined here matches 97.3 per cent of casualty records that should be matched with only 1.4 per cent error. This will therefore provide an effective model to test the reporting rates of various groups and the injuries sustained by them.
The integrated experiential executive coaching model: a qualitative exploration

The aim of this research was to qualitatively explore the learning experiences of senior managers during a six-month executive coaching intervention at an information technology company in South Africa. The Integrated Experiential Executive Coaching Model was designed on the basis of Wilbur's developmental and Kolb's experiential learning models. The empirical study consisted of a transcendental phenomenological analysis of the reflective essays of 13 managers who were participating in the executive coaching intervention. Eight themes manifested, namely, a difficult beginning, building trust, a growing awareness of the self, the self in relation to others, entering the transpersonal realm, learning how we learn, from dependency to autonomy and transference of learning to the workplace. It was hypothesised that this coaching model facilitated the transformational dimension of experiential learning in individuals through the experience of being empowered to work towards cognitive insight, the experience of emotional meaningfulness and the challenge of taking responsibility for their own growth and career development.
Variation of Plant Functional Groups along Livestock Grazing Gradient in Semi-steppe Rangelands (Case Study: Tangsayad Rangelands of Chaharmahal Bakhtiari Province, Iran)

Assessment and monitoring of rangeland in different grazing managements seems necessary to manage rangelands. The plant functional groups can be used as appropriate responders for rangelands condition and management. Therefore, this study was performed and aimed to determine the most important traits that are influenced by rangeland variation and management. In order to this, three areas along a grazing gradient including national parks, protected area and free grazing were selected inTangsayad rangelands of Chaharmahal Bakhtiari Province, Iran in 2015. A 100 m transect was established randomly in each site and within it five plots of 4 m2 area at 20 m intervals along transects were determined systematically. Plant species were identified and vegetation cover was recorded in each plot. The number and size of plots and transects were determined regarding to semi-arid rangeland sampling guidelines as well as the dimension of dominant plant species in plant community. Finally, some traits as leaf dimension, plant biomass and cover of species were measured. The results showed that the traits such as leaf length, leaf width, leaf area and leaf weight, grass growth forms and life forms of Hemicryptophyes and Geophytes had significant differences at least in one of three grazing managements sites (P<0/05). Also Principal Component Analyses (PCA) showed that traits as yield, overall weight of plants and perennial plants had high correlation with the first component and the traits such as leaf length, leaf width, leaf area, Hemicryptophyes had also high correlation with the second component. In general conclusion; leaf traits as leaf length, leaf width, leaf area and leaf weight, grass growth form, Hemicryptophytes and Geophytes life forms were introduced as good indicators for assessing and monitoring of grazing management.
The role of general causality orientations in the development of goal engagement and adjustment capacities in emerging adulthood

A longitudinal study examined individual differences that affect the development of adaptive goal regulation capacities in emerging adulthood. Self-determination theory was used to derive hierarchical linear models in which autonomous, controlled, and impersonal causality orientations differentially predicted baseline levels and rates of yearlong change in three adaptive goal regulation outcomes – goal engagement (operationalized as persistence in goal striving), goal disengagement capacities, and goal reengagement capacities. University enrolled emerging adults reported their levels of the three causality orientations and completed measures of persistence, disengagement, and reengagement at the start of the fall term. Goal regulation outcomes were assessed again at the start and end of the winter term. Results showed that self-determination theory is a relevant framework for understanding not only goal engagement, but also goal adjustment processes in emerging adulthood. Interestingly, the autonomy orientation, which is typically associated with benefits for striving, was negatively related to adaptive goal disengagement capacities. Implications for future research on the associations between motivational style and goal regulation in emerging adulthood are discussed.
Towards a complete understanding of information security misbehaviours: a proposal for future research with social network approach

Insider's intentional misbehaviours without the malicious intent to harm and security workarounds are emerging issues in information security behavioural field. To mitigate these insider's threats, prior research has been confirming many contributing factors of misbehaviours by focusing much on the cognition of employees as individual beings. Consequently, these studies' practical values are inevitably limited by the assumptions of their focus on individuals, which overlook the dynamic exchanges between organisational entities and collectives. From reviewing prior information security behavioural research and detecting their limitations, this paper introduces and proposes social network research as a new approach that would complement to the current body of knowledge. As a result, we discuss the potential directions of social network research and provide some potential research ideas that could be investigated using social network analysis techniques.
CRITICAL DISCOURSE ANALYSIS OF FREEDOM FLOTILLA CARRYING AID TO GAZA

The incidents media portrays are generally accepted by layman blindly. It is important to realize that everything we see is not necessarily true and therefore, truth is not a universal term as it varies from person to person. This paper focuses on the analysis of Intertexuality and Assumption in two news items by two different newspapers (one item per newspaper) covering the same news event. The data are analyzed through CDA (Critical Discourse Analysis). The analyzed data reveal that the realities created by Al Jazeera News and The Haaretz News covering the Freedom Flotilla incident are very different from each other, and the Haaretz news reporting presents political and social bias in favor of Israel/ whereas, Al Jazeera’s news report is more authentic and presents a holistic picture of the event.
Childhood bacterial meningitis: antimicrobial use pattern and treatment outcomes: a prospective observational study

Background: Bacterial meningitis continues to be an important source of mortality and morbidity in infants and children throughout the world despite advances in antibiotics. Resource limited countries contribute more to the mortality and morbidity. We conducted this study to assess antimicrobial use pattern and determine treatment outcomes among children hospitalized with bacterial meningitis. Study design: Prospective observational study was conducted among infants and children admitted to pediatric ward of Jimma University Specialized Hospital. The data was collected with pretested questionnaire and entered into Epi Data (version 3.1), then exported to SPSS (version 20.0) for analysis. Logistic regression analysis was made to determine independent predictors of poor outcomes. Results: A total of 89 samples of patients which were treated for bacterial meningitis were analyzed. Ampicillin plus Gentamycin was used as initially antibiotic regimen in most young infants (86.8%); while majority of older infants and children (66.7%) initially managed with crystalline penicillin plus Chloramphenicol. Among patients those were treated, 67.4% improved without acute complication, while the remaining 32.6% had poor outcomes (9% died, 18% had delayed fever and 5.6% had acute neurologic complications). Change of antibiotics from empiric therapy was found to be independent predictor of poor outcomes in young infants (AOR= 4.42, 95% CI (1.01-19.44)). However, in older infants and children: irritability (AOR=38.39, 95% CI (1.78-829.36)) and seizure prior to admission (AOR=27.53, 95% CI (1.45-522.35)), initial antibiotic regimen with ceftriaxone plus gentamycin (AOR=66.48, 95% CI (3.16-1400.13)), and missed doses of antibiotics (AOR=47.33, 95% CI (2.14-1046.19)) were found to independently predict poor outcomes. Conclusion: The antimicrobials use pattern in this study was nearly similar with the recommendation of national guideline. At discharge nearly one-fourth of the patients treated for bacterial meningitis experienced poor outcomes implying need revising management protocol of childhood bacterial meningitis.
Does Debt Discipline State-Owned Firms? Evidence from a Panel of Italian Firms

This paper investigates whether financial pressure has an impact on the performance of state-owned firms. By combining different theoretical frameworks, we explore the conditions under which debt discipline becomes effective even for state firms. Using a panel of 1318 Italian state and private manufacturing companies, for the period 1977-1993, we estimate total factor productivity and employment equations, allowing the financial factors to have a different effect under "soft" and "hard" budget constraint regimes. Consistent with the theoretical predictions, the results show that state firms do respond to financial pressure by increasing total productivity and reducing employment in a "hard" budget constraint environment.
Differences Between NRS-2002 and MUST in Relation to the Metabolic Condition of Trauma Patients

Introduction: Flow phase with high cardiac output and increased metabolic conditions. When metabolic conditions are not stable there will be a long duration of complications until death. One of the benefits of Nutrition Risk Screening (NRS-2002) is reliable inpatient care for critical patients. While the Malnutrition Universal Screening Tool (MUST) shows speed in the classification of nutritional disorders. Methods: This study used the observational design method. The sampling technique in this study used Consecutive sampling in accordance with the criteria consisting of 31 respondents. This was to determine the specificity and sensitivity values of NRS 2002 and MUST using contingency table analysis and for the Area Under Curve (AUC) using Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. Results: The sensitivity values in MUST was predicted for metabolic conditions which was higher than when using NRS 2002, but the specificity and value of AUC (Area Under Curve) was higher using NRS 2002 than using MUST when it came to predicting metabolic conditions. Conclusions: There were differences in effectiveness between use of Nutritional Risk Screening (NRS-2002) with the Malnutrition Universal Screening Tool (MUST) in relation to changes in metabolic conditions of trauma patients. NRS-2002 is more effective than MUST. NRS 2002 has the ability to identify patients more precisely who are likely to have a negative outcome.
