Significant Emotional and Behavioral Problems in Early Childhood

Significant emotional and behavioral problems in early childhood are a growing concern for social workers, mental health professionals, teachers, day care providers and others involved in the care of children ranging in age from 18 months to six years old. The purpose of this research study was to gain an in-depth understanding of the professional experience and perspective of mental health professionals in meeting the mental health needs of children with significant emotional and behavioral problems in early childhood. A semi-structured interview was used with the six mental health professionals that participated in the study. Three major themes from the data: the therapeutic process, the importance of family, and collaboration between systems. Additionally, the following subthemes were apparent in the data: the impact of negative developmental experiences, the need for early identification and intervention, lack of emotional regulation and a regulating partner, corrective emotional experiences, clientcentered care, psychoeducation, and barriers. Several of the findings from this study were consistent with the current literature on the topic. Finally, this study suggests several implications for social work practice, policy, and research.

Innovation behaviour at micro level - selection and identification

Using a sequential logit model and a mixed-effects logistic regression approach this empirical study investigates factors for the adoption of automatic milking technology (AMS) at the farm level accounting for problems of sequential sample selection and behaviour identification. The results suggest the importance of the farmer’s risk perception, significant effects of peer-group behaviour, and a positive impact of previous innovation experiences.
Assessment of variation in isoproturon in susceptible and resistant biotypes of Phalaris minor Retz. by RAPD analysis

The extensive use of isoproturon for the control of weeds in wheat fields for the past 20 years has lead to the formation of isoproturon resistant biotypes of Phalaris minor. This problem was first identified in Haryana and later in Panjab and some parts of Uttar Pradesh. PCR based RAPD technique, which can detect variability at DNA level was used to assess the variability among the two isoproturon susceptible and two resistant biotypes of Phalaris minor. Nine oligonucleotides (10 base) were screened for their ability to produce polymorphic bands. Three primers did not amplify DNA of one or the other biotypes. Three more did not show any polymorphism amongst the biotypes. The rest three indicated 20% polymorphism level. The size of amplified DNA segments ranged from 105 to 1020 base pair (bp). The mean dissimilarity value of these biotypes was 0.19. Highest dissimilarity (0.21) could be observed between the two resistant biotypes. Cluster analysis of the RAPDs generated separated one of the resistant biotypes from rest of the populations. Primer 20 A0 showed maximum polymorphic value of 1.0 between the susceptible biotype from Karnal and the resistant biotype from Kalwehri. This suggests that the technique could be utilized in the assessment of genetic diversity of the populations existing in other states and developing markers for the resistant trait.
Control of Local Mass Transfer in the Separated and Reattaching Flow by a Periodic Forcing

A numerical study based on the Large Eddy Simulation (LES) methodology was made of mass transfer in locally forced turbulent separated and reattaching flow over a backward facing step. The local forcing was given to the flow by a sinusoidally blowing /suction of the fluid into a separated shear layer. The Reynolds number was fixed at 33000 and Schmidt number at 1. The forcing frequency was varied in the range 0 iSt�i 2, where St is the Strouhal number of forcing. The obtained results revealed the existence of an optimum forcing frequency value, St = 0.25, in terms of the reduced reattachment length. At this frequency the mass transfer is significantly enhanced in the recirculation zone. The influence of the frequency and the amplitude of forcing, in the maximum mass transfer positions and the maximum Sherwood number, are analyzed.
MANAGERS' KNOWLEDGE OF MARKETING PRINCIPLES : THE CASE OF NEW PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

Do marketing managers have well-established marketing principles to guide decision making? We addressed this question by examining 15 principles of new product development obtained from an expert panel of Australian senior marketing practitioners. Of these 15, three turned out to be tautologies, six had at least some empirical support, and six were partly or fully contradicted by empirical studies. In examining the literature for evidence, we were also able to identify five wellestablished ‘empirical generalisations’ about new product development. These results indicate that while principles of new product development do exist, there are fewer of them than we might have thought, and practitioners appear unable to distinguish between good and bad principles.
Oxygen reduction at carbon supported lanthanides: the role of the B-site

The kinetics of the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) at carbon supported transition metal oxides in alkaline solutions is systematically investigated as a function of the nature of the B-site. The study is focused on LaBO3 (B = Cr, Co, Fe, Mn and Ni) nanoparticles synthesized by an ionic liquid route, offering fine control over phase purity and composition. Activity towards the ORR was compared with commercial Pt/Etek catalyst. Detailed electrochemical analysis employing a rotating ring-disc electrode provides conclusive evidences that the carbon support plays an important contribution in the faradaic responses. Decoupling the contribution of the carbon support uncovers that the reactivity of LaMnO3 towards the 4e- ORR pathway is orders of magnitude higher than for the other lanthanides. We rationalise these observations in terms of changes in the redox state at the B-site close to the formal oxygen reduction potential.

Religiosity and Entrepreneurial Intentions in Nigeria

In assessing the influence of religiosity on entrepreneurial intention, and considering other factors such as family entrepreneurial background, personal attitude towards entrepreneurship, societal norms and perceived self-efficacy, the study employed Logistics regression model to analyze 100 cross-sectional data obtained from graduates and undergraduates of economics and business administration. The empirical result indicates that religiosity influence entrepreneurial intentions positively. Equally, the demonstrate the presence of a positive relationship between personal attitude towards entrepreneurship and societal norms, and a negative correlation between self-efficacy and entrepreneurial intentions. The intensity of religious teachings towards enhancing moral values in business and entrepreneurial intentions and the provision of loans and creation of enabling a business environment for intending entrepreneurs therefore recommended.

High‐transmission dielectric metasurface with 2π phase control at visible wavelengths

Recently, metasurfaces have received increasing attention due to their ability to locally manipulate the amplitude, phase and polarization of light with high spatial resolution. Transmissive metasurfaces based on high‐index dielectric materials are particularly interesting due to the low intrinsic losses and compatibility with standard industrial processes. Here, it is demonstrated numerically and experimentally that a uniform array of silicon nanodisks can exhibit close‐to‐unity transmission at resonance in the visible spectrum. A single‐layer gradient metasurface utilizing this concept is shown to achieve around 45% transmission into the desired order. These values represent an improvement over existing state‐of‐the‐art, and are the result of simultaneous excitation and mutual interference of magnetic and electric‐dipole resonances in the nanodisks, which enables directional forward scattering with a broad bandwidth. Due to CMOS compatibility and the relative ease of fabrication, this approach is promising for creation of novel flat optical devices.
Internationalization Process and Technological Capability Trajectory of Iguaçu

This article focuses on the influence of the internationalization process in the evolution of technological capability. This implication was studied in Iguacu between 1967 and 2009. To achieve the proposed goal it was used the Internationalization of Brazilian Export Producer Companies Model, built by Kraus (2006) and the Model of Technological Capabilities in Companies of Emerging Economies, built by Figueiredo (2004). The study found that different stages of internationalization require different functions and different levels of technology. The discussion proposed by this paper found a close association between the process of internationalization and the development of technological capability in the company studied. It can be concluded that for companies of Soluble Coffee to conquer, reach and remain competitive in international markets it should engage efforts to build diverse organizational skills, alliances and technological capabilities.
Short communication. Use of proleptic shoots in the cutting propagation of Protea ‘Susara’ (Proteaceae)

This study analyses the influence of auxin and wounding on the rooting of stem cuttings of Protea ‘Susara’ (P. magnifica × P. susannae) prepared from proleptic shoots. Two assays were carried out. Terminal cuttings, 10-15 cm long, treated with 4000 mg L–1 of indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) and wounded or not were used in the first experiment. The combination of wounding + IBA did not significantly improved rooting compared with the use of IBA alone (70% and 53.3% of transplantable cuttings, respectively). Three levels of IBA (0, 2,000 and 4,000 mg L–1 ) , with or without wounding, and cuttings including the total length of the shoot were used in the second assay. At the end of the trial (24 weeks), wounded cuttings treated with 2,000 mg L–1 or 4,000 mg L–1 of IBA yielded 90% of transplantable cuttings. The combination of wounding + IBA significantly favoured rooting in comparison with the use of IBA or wounding alone.
The Prevalence of Trichomoniasis in High-Risk Behavior Women Attending the Clinics of Tehran Province Penitentiaries

Background: Trichomoniasis is a worldwide sexually transmitted disease (STD), and is associated with important public health problems, including enhancement of HIV transmission. The prevalence of the parasite, Trichomonas vaginalis, depends on host factors such as age, sexual activity, number of sexual partners and sexual behavior. The aim of the study was to evaluate the prevalence of trichomoniasis in high-risk behavior women, such as drug addicts and those who had multiple sexual partners, attending Gynecology Clinics in penitentiaries of Tehran province to help gynecologists with the diagnosis and treatment of the disease. Methods: Samples of posterior vaginal fornix discharges and urines of 450 women attending Gynecology Clinics of three prisons in Tehran province were collected. All samples were examined by direct smear and cultured in TYI-S-33 culture media. Results: 10.2% of subjects were positive for trichomoniasis. 82.7% of infected patients were symptomatic individuals who complained of vaginal discharge and itching and/or burning sensation. Most of the infected women in the high risk behavior group were drug users (54.3%). Physical examination showed that 50% of T. vaginalis positive subjects had a normal appearance of vagina and cervix. The peak prevalence (32.8%) of the disease occurred in the age range of 31-40 years. Conclusion: T. vaginalis infection is commonly associated with other STDs, and is a marker of high-risk sexual behavior. Due to the side effects of the drugs used to treat the infection, it is suggested that the treatment be performed after definite diagnosis using a diagnostic method with a higher sensitivity.

- 1-Optimization of electrospinning parameters for chitosan nanofibres Optimization of Electrospinning Parameters for Chitosan Nanofibres

Electrospinning of chitosan, a naturally occurring polysaccharide biopolymer, has been investigated. In this paper, we report the optimization of electrospinning process and solution parameters using factorial design approach to obtain uniform chitosan nanofibres. The parameters studied were electric field strength, ratio of solvents trifluoroacetic acid (TFA)/ dichloromethane (DCM), concentration of chitosan in the spinning solution, their individual and interaction effects on the diameter of nanofibres. The selected parameters were varied at three levels (-1, 0 and +1) using Box and Behnken factorial design. The interaction effect between electric field strength (FS) and concentration of chitosan (CC) as well as that between the ratio of solvents TFA/DCM (SC) and electric field strength played the most significant role, followed by the concentration of chitosan and lastly by the electric field strength in obtaining uniform nanofibres.
The Fit of Employee Ownership with Other Human Resource Management Practices: Theoretical and Empirical Suggestions Regarding the Existence of an Ownership High-Performance Work System

This article embeds employee ownership within a strategic human resource management (SHRM) framework, and in so doing, aims to redress in part a lack of attention in previous employee ownership and SHRM literatures. The study extends the configurational approach to SHRM to include the construct of the workforce philosophy as the factor that determines the coherence of HRM systems. Companies that have employee ownership as a central element and core HRM practice should do two things in order to ensure that their HRM system is coherent and potentially a high-performance work system (HPWS). First, these firms should propagate the idea that employees deserve to be co-owners and take employees seriously as such. Second, the HRM system should reflect this workforce philosophy: the HRM system should contain HRM practices that mirror the rights that make up the very construct of ‘ownership’. The core HRM practices of the ‘ownership-HPWS’, in addition to employee ownership, are: participation in decision-making, profit sharing, information sharing, training for business literacy and mediation.
Mediterranean Conference on Information Systems ( MCIS ) 2011 EXPLORING THE ADOPTION OF UBIQUITOUS INFORMATION SYSTEMS WITHIN THE MUSEUM CONTEXT

Wireless and mobile technologies are gradually enabling the provision of innovative information services within almost all environments. This study explores the adoption of ubiquitous museum information systems that can significantly enhance and enrich the museum visit. We draw on traditional IS adoption theories and theories from Museum Studies to develop our theoretical model which is empirically tested through a survey addressed to museum visitors (n=118). Model hypotheses are tested through Partial Least Squares modelling. The results show that Performance Expectancy and Personal Innovativeness still represent the core predictors toward the adoption of museum information systems. However, we also report on the predictive strength of two context-related factors, Invisibility and Interaction, which appear to play a particular role toward the formulation of favourable user perceptions. The paper concludes with implications on the design of museum information systems and specific suggestions for future research.

Going beyond the search for solutions: understanding trade-offs in European integrated multi-trophic aquaculture development

There has been significant interest in the development of integrated multi-trophic aquaculture (IMTA) in Europe. Much of this interest has come from academia and regulators, and while elements within the European aquaculture industry have expressed an interest, to date, the adoption of the concept has been limited. Part of the attraction for regulators and academics is the ecological/economic win/win that is associated with eco-innovation solutions. However, if we are to understand why there has been limited uptake of IMTA in Europe, perhaps it is necessary to look at the issue in terms of trade-offs for the individual farmer or company. Using this viewpoint, we investigate the balance of trade-offs for the individual farmer or company to diversify from a traditional fin-fish production business into an IMTA system. In doing so, we reveal that the bal- ance of trade-offs is currently not sufficiently positive to motivate the large-scale uptake of IMTA in Europe, and we contrast this against the situation in Asia where the balance of trade-offs gives better support for the adoption and practice of IMTA. By better understanding the trade-offs for the individual, it is possible to better understand the conditions that will promote the development of IMTA in Europe.
Does Pre-Eclampsia Predispose Patients to the Development of Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis? "The Chicken or the Egg?"

Pre-eclampsia is the most common medical complication of pregnancy affecting 3-5% of pregnancies worldwide. Traditional teaching has generally maintained that the natural history of Preeclampsia is one of resolution of renal pathology and other clinical features- some days to weeks after delivery of the placenta. Renal injury is mediated by both endothelial and podocyte injury in pre-eclampsia. In some women however, the renal injury does not resolve and proteinuria persists following pregnancy. The development of further glomerular lesions, notably focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) following pre-eclampsia, has previously been described, and is an association that is increasingly recognized. Here we describe a heterogeneous case series of four women seen in our unit over a five year period who were diagnosed with FSGS some months to years following a pregnancy complicated by pre-eclampsia. These cases illustrate the complex and individual relationship that might exist between pre-eclampsia and FSGS lesions. We also discuss current concepts in our understanding of the pathophysiology behind the complex relationship between podocyte injury in pregnancy and subsequent FSGS lesions in some women.
Impact of Scheduled U.S. Macroeconomic News on Stock Market Uncertainty: A Multinational Perspecive

This study examines how the U.S. macroeconomic news releases affect uncertainty in domestic and foreign stock exchanges. For that purpose, the behavior of the implied volatilities from the U.S. and Finnish markets is investigated around the employment, producer price index (PPI) and consumer price index (CPI) reports. The results confirm the hypothesis that implied volatility increases prior to the macroeconomic news release and drops after the announcement in both markets. This implies that uncertainty associated with the U.S. macroeconomic news releases is reflected in foreign stock markets as well. Of the macroeconomic news releases, the employment report has the largest impact on uncertainty.
Assessment of Psychosocial Needs among Internally Displaced Persons (IDPS) In Maiduguri Based On the Humanitarian Emergency Settings Perceived Needs Scale (HESPER)

The current insurgency in the north-eastern Nigeria has brought worldwide attention to the plight and needs of the displaced persons. This study aims to assess the psychosocial needs and services available at the selected Internally Displace Person’s camps in Maiduguri-based on (HESPER). This is a descriptive, crosssectional study using multistage sampling techniques; cluster sampling techniques was used to select nine IDPs camps and finally 450 household heads or family representatives through systematic sampling techniques. Food (91.6%), shortage of place to live in (85.1%), shortage of good enough clothes, shoes, bedding or blankets (88.3%), lack of easy and safe access to a clean toilet (81.1%), shortage of soap, water, suitable place to wash, sanitary materials (81.8%) were reported as a serious problem by majority of the displaced persons. Primary needs should be address first before secondary and tertiary needs. Therefore, government should ensure emergency setting psychosocial services are being conducted by the NGOs according to their mandates to prevent misplace priority and to avoid duplication of functions among the humanitarian actors
