Mediating Role of Family Ownership in Relationship between the Independent Board and the Company’s Performance in Tehran Stock Exchange

This study examines the role of moderator family-owned in the relationship between the independent board and company’s performance in the Stock Exchange of Tehran. In this study return on assets and independent board are as dependent variables, family ownership and the interaction between the independent board and family ownership as independent variables The statistical society that is considered in this survey is all the accepted companies in Tehran’s Stock Exchange are in the studied years and read conditions. Due to the fact that before estimating and performing the regression models, it’s needed to make sure of some of the conditions among the variables. These conditions are normality, heteroscedasticity, self-correlation, collinearity, stationary of variables. The inferential statistics used in this research include multivariable regression, in order to discover the relationships of dependent and independent variables. By the way to make sure that the results are reliable, default regression tests have been used. Finally with approval of all default regression tests, they started to test the research’s hypothesis. The results showed that family ownership adjust the relationship between board independence and firm performance. Also there is a negative relationship between family-owned and independent board company.
Who really selected you? Insights into faculty selection processes in top-ranked higher education graduate programmes

Abstract Over the past decade, the number of advertised tenure-track faculty positions in higher education institutions in the United States and abroad has steadily declined while the competition for these positions has become fierce. This situation has caused some scholars to seek perspectives into the factors that influence the tenure-track faculty selection process. This study investigates the elements that impact higher education graduate programme faculty searches. A total of 39 programme coordinators, department heads and deans who had previously participated in higher education programme searches were surveyed to explore their experiences and perceptions regarding the selection process. The findings indicate that the search committee’s faculty votes within the higher education hiring programme are more influential in selection decisions than the votes of either a programme chair or dean. Additionally, participants identified a candidate’s academic accomplishments, interview performance and presentation skills as the determining characteristics influencing their selection. These findings provide useful information to tenure-track job seekers who seek faculty positions at higher education graduate programmes in the United States and around the world.
WEIGHTED COMPOSITION OPERATORS ON WEIGHTED BERGMAN SPACES OF THE UNIT BALL

Suppose ϕ is an analytic self map of Bn and ψ is analytic on Bn. Then a weighted composition operator induced by ϕ with weight ψ is given by (W ,'f)(z) = ψ(z)f(ϕ(z)) for z in Bn and f analytic on Bn. Given W ,' : A p(Bn) → A q (Bn) we characterize boundedness and compactness of W ,', where 0 < p,q < ∞ and −1 < α,β < ∞. We also characterize the Schatten p-class weighted composition operators Sp A 2 (Bn) � for 0 < p < ∞ and −1 < α < ∞.
Comparison of the fatty acid profile of muscle neutral lipids and phospholipids of up-river anadromous sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus L.) from three Portuguese river basins

Composition of fatty acid profile of muscle neutral lipids (NL) and phospholipids (PL) of sea lamprey that enter the Portuguese rivers Minho, Tagus and Guadiana during their non-trophic spawning migration was analysed. The fatty acid profile exhibited differences in the percentage among NL and PL and between river basins. Similarities were found in the fatty acid profile of NL. Monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) were the most representative, followed by saturated fatty acids (SFA) and finally by polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA). Monoenic 16:1 and 18:1ω9 formed a considerable percentage of total fatty acids, followed by SFA 14:0 and 16:0. EPA and DHA were the dominant PUFA fatty acids. In terms of NL, the fatty acid that contributed for the discrimination between the three river basins was 18:1ω7. Individuals from the Minho river basin exhibited a different fatty acid profile of PL characterised by a low PUFA percentage when compared with lampreys from the Tagus and Guadiana river basins. Muscle PL fraction showed that the two monoenes, 16:1 and 18:1ω9, occurred at high percentage, followed by 16:0 and 14:0 (SFA). Among PUFA, DHA was the most representative fatty acid. The fatty acids that contributed to the separation between the three river basins were 16:0, 18:4ω3 and 24:1ω9. Although the results point in the direction of a possible difference between the fatty acid composition of the NL and PL fractions in the muscle samples from the three river basins, further studies, especially in tissues where fatty acid composition will be less sensitive to diet and environmental factors, are necessary to confirm this hypothesis.
Euro-Dollar Polarization and Heterogeneity in Exchange Rate Pass-Throughs within the Euro Zone

This paper provides an empirical study of the asymmetrical spillovers of the euro-US dollar exchange rate on inflation in the euro zone. We divide the euro zone members in two groups of countries: "core" (closely related to Germany) and "periphery", testing if the euro-US dollar exchange rate is still able to give a different impact on the groups ’ performance as in the past US dollar-deutschmark polarization phenomenon. Using a dynamic panel data framework based on an exchange rate pass-through model, we estimate the elasticities of the two groups by system IV-GMM and the common correlated effects mean group estimator, testing for the asymmetry. Estimating the model with the first type of method, the exchange rate pass-through coefficient is always significant but the asymmetry between the groups is rejected. Using the common correlated effects mean group estimator we find that the coefficient is significantly negative only for core countries and the hypothesis of asymmetry is confirmed. Note that the significance disappears if we control for the first three years of EMU, but the coefficients for core and periphery have opposite sign in any case. Instead, other unobservable factors, representing global events or spillovers effects, play a relevant role in all the specifications. By using the nominal effective exchange rate instead, we found a significant coefficient in case of the whole EMU, while the elasticities for core and periphery are not statistically different from zero. Based on these results, we can conclude that the euro-US dollar is an important factor, but not the only key factor, in determining the asymmetry in inflation between core and periphery. The nominal effective exchange rate instead is a very important driver for the inflation only considering the whole euro zone. Therefore, the EMU seems to not have insulate enough some member countries from shocks coming from outside, as in the case of nominal exchange rate shocks.

Student Work, Educational Achievement, and Later Employment: A Dynamic Approach

This study examines the direct and indirect impact (via educational achievement) of student work during secondary education on later employment outcomes. To this end, we jointly model student work and later schooling and employment outcomes as a chain of discrete choices. To tackle their endogeneity, we correct for these outcomes' unobserved determinants. Using unique longitudinal Belgian data, we find that pupils who work during the summer holidays of secondary education are 15.3% more likely to have a job three months after leaving school. This premium to student work experience is higher when pupils also work during the academic year and diminishes for later employment outcomes. When decomposing this total effect, it turns out that the direct returns to student work overcompensate its non-positive indirect effect via tertiary education enrolment.
Transiting exoplanets from the CoRoT space mission: XV. CoRoT-15b: A brown-dwarf transiting companion

We report the discovery by the CoRoT space mission of a transiting brown dwarf orbiting a F7V star with an orbital period of 3.06 days. CoRoT-15b has a radius of 1.12 +0.30 ―0.15 R Jup and a mass of 63.3 ± 4.1 M Jup , and is thus the second transiting companion lying in the theoretical mass domain of brown dwarfs. CoRoT-15b is either very young or inflated compared to standard evolution models, a situation similar to that of M-dwarf stars orbiting close to solar-type stars. Spectroscopic constraints and an analysis of the lightcurve imply a spin period in the range 2.9-3.1 days for the central star, which is compatible with a double-synchronisation of the system.
Sensitivity to coffee and subjective health

The question was whether health complaints are associated with coffee consumption and self reported sensitivity to coffee. Participants were 89 men and 107 women, all coffee drinkers. Questionnaires were used at 2 points of time with an interval of 3.7 years. The correlations among coffee consumption, sensitivity and health complaints were significant but were of low importance to health. Coffee consumption was significantly related to intestinal complaints (r=0.15) and sensitivity to coffee with sleep-wake complaints (r=0.30). An increase in sensitivity to coffee over almost 4 years went along with less health complaints. The interaction of coffee intake and sensitivity to coffee had no influence on subjective health. Since subjective sensitivity data were used, validation of the findings should be done with objectively measured sensitivity and caffeine levels. The main conclusion is that self-reported coffee intake is not related to subjective health, but claimed sensitivity is.

The lichen-forming fungi of the Xanthoparmelia pulla group (Parmeliaceae, Ascomycota) in Poland

The paper presents the results of studies of Xanthoparmelia pulla group in Poland. The morphological and chemical analysis of herbarium materials confirmed the presence of four species of this group reported from Poland before. The study however, revealed considerable changes it the partiuclular species distribution. X. verruculifera, so far considered the most endangered species in the country, turned out to be the most frequent taxon. X. loxodes, regarded as common, has much less known localities than previously thought. This species was usually confused with X. verruculifera. Xanthoparmelia pulla is the rarest species and should be considered critically endangered in Poland. Most specimens of X. pulla collected in the country belong to X. delisei, which so far had only two historical records in Poland. All these taxa are characterized in terms of morphology, the content of secondary metabolites, ecology and distribution.
Diversity analysis of pea genotypes using RAPD markers

Genetic diversity among 54 genotypes of field and garden pea of India were studied using 30 RAPD primers. A total of 168 amplicons were scored, of which 154 were polymorphic revealing 89.3% of polymophism. Out of 30 RAPD primers tested, 22 primers produced clear and reproducible bands. The number of products generated by these primers ranged from 04 to 14 with primer OPU-17 giving maximum (14) and primer OPC-08 giving minimum number of amplicons (04). Genetic similarity estimates based on the binomial data using Jaccard’s coefficient ranged from 0.34 (Kaza-2/IC-218991) to 0.89 (IC-209118/IC-209123) with an average similarity index of 0.54 exhibiting considerable diversity among the pea genotypes studied. The dendrogram showed clear pattern of clustering according to the source of germplasm. This study indicated that Himalayan region germplasm exhibited higher diversity.
Phylogeny, ecological fi tting and lung fl ukes: helping solve the problem of emerging infectious diseases Filogenia, fl exibilidad ecológica y digéneos de pulmones: ayudando a resolver la crisis de las enfermedaes infecciosas emergentes

Traditional wisdom, based on assumptions of species-specifi c coevolutionary interactions between hosts and parasites, suggests that pathogens with multi-host life cycles are unlikely to move with their defi nitive hosts because their transmission requirements are so specialized. Ecological fi tting provides a theory of diffuse coevolution, which allows introduced pathogens with complex life cycles to become established and spread rapidly into native hosts if the resource required at each stage of the life cycle is both phylogenetically conservative (distributed among numerous species) and geographically widespread. The external appearance of life cycle complexity does not, therefore, on its own, predict the potential for an organism to become an emerging infectious disease. We apply this concept to explain a potential enigma, the presence of a lung fl uke, Haematoloechus fl oedae, endemic to North American bullfrogs, in Costa Rican leopard frogs, even though there are no bullfrogs extant in the country today, and none ever occurred where the parasite has been discovered. We then discuss how the integration of ecological and life history information within a phylogenetic framework can help biologists move from attempts to manage emerging infectious disease outbreaks to the ability to predict and thus circumvent the outbreak in the fi rst place.
How age and religiosity affect forgiving others

Using data from the General Social Survey (1998), Robert Wuthnow's Forgiveness Survey (1999), and ten indepth interviews of members of an evangelical church (2010--11), I investigate three research questions: (1) How are age and religiosity related to people's attitudes toward forgiving others? (2) Do age and religiosity have the same effect on people's forgiving behaviors? (3) How do respondents' accounts of their own experiences forgiving others help explain and contribute to answers of the first two questions? I found that those with the highest levels of religiosity were most likely to have positive attitudes toward forgiving and to have engaged in a forgiving behavior. Older respondents were significantly less likely to have engaged in a forgiving behavior, but age had no effect on an individual's forgiving attitudes. I argue here that the value of forgiving others is learned through Christian religious involvement and affects a person's actual behaviors.
Dietary Conjugated Linoleic Acid Can Decrease Backfat in Pigs Housed under Commercial Conditions

Conjugated linoleic acids (CLA) have been shown to decrease body fat content of individually-housed pigs but little is known about the responses under commercial conditions. Two studies were conducted to evaluate the effect of CLA under commercial conditions using contemporary genotypes. The experimental designs were similar between the two sites. Briefly, the studies were 2×2 factorial designs with the respective factors being sex (boar and gilt) and supplemental dietary CLA (0 and 4 g/kg). The studies involved 16-20 pens of pigs with 4-5 pens of each sex×CLA group. The first study was conducted with 144 pigs in 16 pens consuming a pelleted feed for 6 weeks at Bunge Meat Industries, Corowa, NSW. In the second study, 160 pigs were obtained from a commercial source and put into 20 pens in simulated commercial conditions and fed a mash diet for 7 weeks at Medina Research Station, WA. In Study 2 some aspects of meat quality were also investigated. Data from Study 1 showed that, although CLA had no significant effect upon feed intake and daily gain, the small changes in both resulted in a reduction in (-0.10 g/g, p=0.10) feed conversion ratio (FCR). While there was no significant effect of CLA on ultrasonic backfat depths, there was a significant decrease in carcass P2 (-1.0 mm, p=0.014) and estimated carcass fat (-7 g/kg, p=0.049). In the study conducted at Medina CLA had no significant effect upon feed intake, feed:gain or most measures of back fat. The exception was that dietary CLA decreased the rate of accumulation of fat at the shoulder, particularly in gilts, resulting in a significantly lower amount of shoulder fat at slaughter (-1.3 mm, p=0.044). CLA tended to increase dressing percentage although this was not significant (+0.5%, p=0.14). Meat from CLA treated pigs tended to be darker (p=0.12) and had a higher ultimate pH (p=0.06). These data suggest that under commercial conditions dietary CLA can improve growth performance and decrease P2 in pigs of an improved genotype, particularly gilts. (Asian-Aust. J. Anim. Sci. 2002.

In the Republic of Macedonia the multitude of farms are cattle farms with an average capacity of up to 5 heads (74,6 %). The highest number of heads form all categories are bred in the Pelagonia region (19,6%), followed by the Skopje region (15,68%). The Vardar region has the least number of cattle (5,49%). Cattle crosses represent the majority of their kind in R. Macedonia (43,91%), followed by the Holstein Frisian breed (39,65%). Out of the total number of sheep farms in the country, 41,69% are farms with a size of 50 heads, whereas farms with the size 51 100 and 101 500 heads are present with 20% and 30,4% respectively. Farms with a size of 301 – 500 heads consist 5,32% of the total number of sheep farms and farms with 501 -1000 and above 1001 heads are present with 2,30 % and 0,30% respectively. The highest number of sheep are bred in the Eastern region (22 %), after which is the Pelagonia region (16,9 %) and the Skopje region with the lowest number of 4,5%. Highly represented in the breed structure of the sheep population in R. Macedonia are the Ovcepolka (26,9%) and Sharplaninska pramenka (18,4%) strains.Out of the total number of goat farms in R. Macedonia, farms with a size of 1-5 heads consist the greatest percentage (65,09%), followed by farms with a size of 6-20 heads which participate in the total number with (26,05%). The eastern region has the highest number of goats (46,7%). In the breed structure of the goat population, highest participation was noted for indigenous goat breed (67,17 %). The presence of the Saneen breed is 11,75%, the Alpine 6,55 % and mixed breeds deriving from them are present with 4,19% and 10,34% respectively.
Effect of H2O2 application during 'Grande naine'-Mycosphaerella fijiensis interaction.

In Musa spp. considerable economical lost are cause by Mycosphaerella fijiensis infection around the world, that is why the study of the pathosystem constitute a priority. However, the main mechanisms activated in banana after infection are still unknown and are a limitation for a better understanding of this complex relationship. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) application, on leaves of ‘Grande naine’ plants, on black leaf streak disease development (BLSD). For this purpose, the first three open leaves of banana plants were inoculated with the monoascosporic isolate of M. fijiensis CCIBPPf-83. At three days post-inoculation different H2O2 concentrations (10, 20, 30 and 40 mmol l -1) were sprayed to these plants as well as to non-inoculated ones. During the time course of the experiment for inoculated, sprayed plants and for control plants (infected with M. fijiensis) epidemiological variables as well as the area of necrotic lesions at 49 dpi were measured. The findings of this analysis showed that the early application of H2O2 have influence on the BLSD development.
Alleviating an Acid Sulfate Soil Cultivated to Rice (Oryza sativa) Using Ground Magnesium Limestone and Organic Fertilizer

Rice yield on acid sulfate soils in Malaysia is very low, presumably due to AI and/or Fe toxicity. This study was conducted to ameliorate an acid sulfate soil in the Kemasin-Semerak Integrated Agricultural Development Project, located in Kelantan, Peninsular Malaysia, for rice cultivation. Rice variety, MR 219, was used as the test crop. Treatment included the use of various rates of ground magnesium limestone (GML), with or without an organic fertilizer. This acid sulfate soil had an initial pH of < 3.5 at depth below 45 cm. Exchangeable AI in the soil was high, especially in the subsoil. The first crop of rice was disturbed by floods. The result for the 2"d crop showed a promising trend; applying 4 t GMUha in combination with an organicfertilizer, the topsoil pH had increasedfrom 3.95 to 4.21, increasing the exchangeable Ca and Mgfrom 1.58 and 0.48 cmol/kg soil to 2.57 and O. 79 cmol/kg soil, respectively. In this treatment, the rice yield was 7.5 tlha, which was much higher than that produced by farmer's practice of about 2 tlha. The increase in yield was due to the combined effects of increasing pH and exchangeable Ca and Mg and of lowering AI and Fe concentration in the soil solution.
