Body fatness in relation to physical activity and selected socioeconomic parameters of adolescents aged 15–17 years in Merida, Yucatan

Abstract Background: Increasing rates of overweight and obesity in adolescents are major concerns in many countries, including Mexico. Objectives: To study anthropometric and body composition characteristics (BCC) and their relations with socioeconomic status (SES), biological history and physical activity (PA) of school-going adolescent boys and girls in the city of Merida, Yucatan, Mexico. Subjects and methods: In this cross-sectional study, a sample of 321 adolescents (156 boys and 165 girls) aged 15–17 years from public and private schools in Merida, was taken from a study carried out in 2008–2009. Results: Body mass index had significant correlations to BCC (fat mass and fat-free mass). The rate of stunting was higher in girls (18.20%) than in boys (7.69%). Stunted adolescents had higher body fat (%) than normally growing peers. High rates of overweight (boys 26.28%, girls 24.24%) and obesity (boys 10.26%, girls 6.06%) were recorded. SES (parents’ age, education and occupation; crowding index in the family; household food expenditure), participants’ biological history and PA are related with height and BCC by age and sex. Conclusion: Adolescents with excess weight (overweight + obesity) reported being less physically active. SES and PA were strongly related to growth and body fatness in the studied adolescents.

Radial fingering in viscoelastic media, an experimental study

We report measurements of two dimensional radial fingering in viscoelastic concentrated suspensions (pastes) of colloidal particles, in small surface tension conditions. The displacement efficiency, the average finger width and the fractal dimension for growth have been measured in a broad range of paste viscosity and driving pressure. The growth process appears to be fractal in all the experimental conditions, with fractal exponents, D G , covering the whole range from 1.3 at very small tip velocity to 2.0 at very high tip velocity. The displacement efficiency, δ, defined as the volume fraction of paste displaced by water when water flows out of the paste, is almost zero at very low velocity, and seems to tend toward an asymptotic value close to 0.25 at high velocity, δ is almost entirely dominated by the velocity dependence of the tip-splitting cascade. The average finger width has very little influence Realisation d'experiences de digitation viscoelastique en geometrie radiale, dans des suspensions concentrees de particules colloidales (des argiles) en conditions de tension interfaciale tres faible
Optimization of ${\rm Al}_{0.29}{\rm Ga}_{0.71}{\rm N}/{\rm GaN}$ High Electron Mobility Heterostructures for High-Power/Frequency Performances

In this paper, we propose to optimize Al0.29Ga0. 71N/GaN heterostructures on silicon substrate to obtain high electron mobility transistors featuring high-power/frequency performances. The polarization electric fields are engineered by varying the layer thicknesses of the cap and the barrier, and by changing the type of buffer (GaN or AlGaN). The aim of this paper is to find the best tradeoff between the active layer thickness reduction and the achievement of a reasonable drain current to satisfy the requirements for high performances. The optimum heterostructure device presents an output power density of 1.5 W/mm at 40 GHz, among the best reported on silicon substrate.
Community empowerment Based Social Capital and Village Business Company (BUMDes)

Law No. 6 of 2014 on the Village states that one of the things that must be done by the village government is to empower the village community. Through community, empowerment is expected to realize the independence of society, both economically, socially, culturally, and politically. In relation to the empowerment of rural-oriented villagers, the Village Law also states that the Village Business Company(BUMDes) is an economic institution that can realize the economic independence of the village. In addition to economic orientation, BUMDes is also expected to be a tool for knitting together (collectivity) of village communities. To realize these expectations, it is necessary to empower the village community, where BUMDes can be used as a tool in the process of empowerment. In order for the empowerment of village communities through BUMDes to run well, in the establishment and implementation, the socio-cultural values (local wisdom) of village communities should be utilized and empowered. In this context, the Village Law has responded to the use of socio-cultural values for the empowerment of village communities. The response of Law No. 4 of 2014 on the village against local wisdom can be seen from the philosophy of the Village Law that revives the socio-cultural values (local wisdom) of village communities that can be realized through the potential of social capital that exists.

Traffic sign recognition using visual attribute learning and convolutional neural network

The problem of extracting high level information from digital images and videos is frequently faced in the area of computer vision and machine learning. For the recognition of traffic signs, a lot of outstanding methods have been proposed, and deep models demonstrates that their powerful representation capacity, can archieve dominant performances. In this paper a method for recognizing traffic signs is proposed founded on a novel visual attribute mechanisms; whereby attributes are generated using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN). In comparison with previous methods founded on the use of CNN for feature extractor and Multi-Layer Perception (MLP) as classifier, the Max Pooling Positions (MPPs) proposed in this paper predict visual attributes that provide a useful linkage between low-level features and high-level sematic tasks. The results show that outstanding performances can be achieved using MPPs.
The influence of transformational leadership on individual and team innovativeness in the hospital sector in the United Arab Emirates

Healthcare organisations assume best practice as they implement and monitor the latest clinical evidence available. However, this approach can result in rapid increase in costs in order to stay up to date with state-of-the-art developments, inflicting budget constraints that work at the expenses of soft people management issues. This can render attempts to apply simple healthcare innovations difficult. Past literature suggested that leadership plays an important role in individual and team innovation. In this project, I draw on the idea that transformational leadership is capable of encouraging social interactions within a team and thereby fosters individual and team innovativeness. I set to investigate the role of knowledge sharing and team reflexivity in explaining how transformational leadership encourages innovativeness. Moreover, ample evidence suggests that new knowledge increases innovativeness. By applying this logic, should we expect individuals and teams deficient in new knowledge acquisition opportunities not to be innovative? Would followers socially interact differently in this case? Also, would transformational leaders be able to counteract knowledge deficiency in order to drive innovativeness? The gap in the literature this study attempt to satisfy is whether under transformational leadership, different social interaction mechanisms are triggered in reaction to different levels of external knowledge acquisition in order to drive innovativeness. This study provide evidence that under conditions of fewer new knowledge acquisition opportunities, the emphasis on the team leader as the main driver of team innovativeness increases. On the other hand, where new knowledge acquisition opportunities are abundant, transformational leadership influence on teams innovativeness will increasingly be mediated through team reflexivity levels. The study result is discussed using two faces of transformational leadership framework (Kark and Shamir 2002; Kark et al., 2003). These findings are stronger at the team level than the individual level where the study data did not generate statistically significant associations.
Cavitation : A technology on the horizon

An overview of the application of cavitation phenomenon for the intensification of chemical/physical processing applications has been presented here, discussing the causes for the observed enhancement and highlighting some of the typical examples. The important considerations required for efficient scale-up of the cavitational reactors and subsequent industrial applications have been depicted based on the work carried out as a result of sponsored projects at the Institute of Chemical Technology, Mumbai. Overall, it appears that the combined efforts of physicists, chemists and chemical engineers are required to effectively use cavitational reactors for industrial applications. Some recommendations for further work to be carried out in this area have also been mentioned, which should allow the exploitation of this technology on an industrial scale.
Identification of a Staphylococcus aureus extracellular matrix-binding protein with broad specificity

A staphylococal surface protein capable of binding several extracellular matrix glycoproteins was purified as a result of our attempts to identify a receptor(s) for bone sialoprotein (BSP) on Staphylococcus aureus cells. Proteins from different staphylococcal strains were solubilized in sodium lauryl sulfate, separated by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, blotted onto Immobilon P membranes, and probed with 125I-BSP. Several bacterial proteins bound the radiolabeled ligand, and various strains expressed different repertoirs of BSP-binding proteins. Major BSP-binding proteins with apparent M(r)s of 72,000 or 60,000 were present on most strains, and these proteins were further studied. The 72- and 60-kDa proteins were preferentially expressed when bacteria were cultured in Luria broth compared with when they were cultured on tryptic soy broth, and the abundance of the proteins could be correlated to an increased 125I-BSP binding. Both the 72-kDa and the 60-kDa proteins were solubilized by extraction of cells with 1 M LiCl and were purified by cation-exchange chromatography. Amino acid composition analysis of the purified 72-kDa protein indicated a high content of lysine (11.9%) and hydrophobic amino acids (28.0% combined). In Western ligand blotting (immunoblotting) experiments, the 72-kDa protein bound not only BSP but also radiolabeled fibronectin, fibrinogen, vitronectin, thrombospondin, and, to some extent, collagen. Addition of the purified 60-kDa protein to S. aureus cells did not inhibit binding of the different ligands but in some cases resulted in an augmentation of the binding of 125I-ligand. Purified 60-kDa protein could hemagglutinate sheep erythrocytes at a concentration of 61 micrograms/ml. The agglutination reaction was inhibited by high concentrations of fucose, mannose, or melibiose. These data suggest that the purified proteins may serve as bacterial receptors with broad specificity for matrix glycoproteins and that the proteins may act as carbohydrate-binding proteins.
Lead and hypertension in a mortality study of lead smelter workers.

Hypertension has been associated with occupational lead exposure and may in part be a consequence of renal injury. To assess the epidemiology of death potentially associated with lead-induced hypertension, the authors have reviewed data from a larger study. This study evaluated the mortality of a cohort of white, male, hourly workers hired at a lead smelter in Idaho between January 1, 1940, and December 31, 1965, and employed for at least 1 year. Mortality was determined as of December 1, 1977. Of the 1987 males qualifying for the study group, 1281 were known to be alive, 665 were known to be deceased, and the remainder (2.1%) were lost to follow-up. The findings of renal disease and cancer are more suggestive of an association with lead exposure.
Rate of viral rebound according to specific drugs in the regimen in 2120 patients with HIV suppression

Background: It is currently unclear whether the tendency for viral rebound in patients with viral load < 50 copies/ml differs according to the specific drug regimen being used. Methods: To follow 2120 patients in EuroSIDA who had attained < 50 copies/ml on highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), without previously virologically failing HAART. Results: The rate of viral rebound (two consecutive values > 400 copies/ml) was 4.9/100 person-years [95% confidence interval (CI), 4.0–5.8] for patients who were naive pre-HAART and 8.0/100 person-years (95% CI, 7.0–9.0) for those who were experienced with nucleoside analogue reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTI) pre-HAART. The rate of rebound was significantly higher in those taking nelfinavir than in those taking efavirenz, both in patients who were naive pre-HAART and those who were NRTI experienced [adjusted rate ratios, 2.83 (95% CI, 1.51–5.31) and 2.86 (95% CI, 1.65–5.00), respectively]. Among patients who were naive pre-HAART, those on abacavir had no evidence of a raised risk of viral rebound (adjusted rate ratio 1.17; 95% CI, 0.51–2.69), but in those with pre-HAART NRTI experience the rate was markedly raised (adjusted rate ratio, 4.48; 95% CI, 2.51–8.00). A similar picture was seen when comparing those on nevirapine with those on efavirenz, although the elevated rate ratio in pre-HAART experienced patients was of lower magnitude (adjusted rate ratio, 1.93). There was no strong evidence that rebound rates differed significantly for any NRTI pairs compared with zidovudine/lamivudine. Conclusion: Viral rebound rates in patients who have attained < 50 copies/ml appear to differ according to the specific drugs being used.
Differentiation Strategy and Market Competition as Determinants of Earnings Management

this study examines the relationships among differentiation strategy, market competition, and earnings management. This study focuses on real earnings management used by many companies to manipulate earnings. We perform cross-sectional regression for each manufacturing sub-sector and year where there are at least ten firms to measure the abnormal values of real earnings management. Using 65 manufacturing firms listed in Indonesia Stock Exchange from 2011 to 2015, we use regression analyses to investigate our research questions. Our results show that firms adopt differentiation strategy are less likely to engage real earnings management. Moreover, the interaction between differentiation strategy and market competition exhibits negative relationship with earnings management. Results of this study provide evidence that differentiation strategy has significant impact in determining management decisions on real earnings management. We also find that market competition and differentiation strategy can jointly affect real earnings management. Although real earnings management can help firms achieve certain financial goals, it will give negative impact on firm’s future performance. Firms that use differentiation strategy still have great financial performance even without using earnings management. Considering the sustainability of firm’s performance, management should consider using differentiation strategy to achieve financial goals than engaging in real earnings management.

The effect of government regulations on continuance intention of in-store proximity mobile payment services

Purpose This study proposed and tested three comprehensive models of the usage intention of proximity mobile payment services after a government regulation, by integrating the theory of planned behaviour (TPB) and the norm-activation model (NAM). The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effects of moral norms, merchant pro-activeness and perceived government regulation (demonetisation) on users’ continuance intention of proximity mobile payment services. Design/methodology/approach In total, 387 users of proximity mobile payment services in India were surveyed using a structured questionnaire. This study was carried out with shoppers in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region and New Delhi because of the diverse and large population of these cities. Findings The results of this study indicated that: integrating the variables of NAM into the original TPB model enhanced the prediction effect; perceived demonetisation regulation exerted a direct determinant effect as well as moderate effect on continuance usage intention of mobile payment services; also, extended TPB model with perceived demonetisation regulation as moderator could satisfactorily predict the continuance usage intention. Research limitations/implications The results provided insightful evidence for the government and policymakers to outline more effective mandatory regulation policies. Originality/value This investigation attempts to enhance the theoretical understanding of the antecedents of in-store proximity mobile payment services after government regulation (demonetisation) in India.
Host condition and host immunity affect parasite fitness in a bird–ectoparasite system

1. Parasites might preferentially feed on hosts in good nutritional condition as such hosts provide better resources for the parasites' own growth, survival and reproduction. However, hosts in prime condition are also better able to develop costly immunological or physiological defence mechanisms, which in turn reduce the parasites' reproductive success. The interplay between host condition, host defence and parasite fitness will thus play an important part in the dynamics of host-parasite systems. ;2. In a 2 x 2 design, we manipulated both the access to food in great tit Parus major broods and the exposure of the nestlings to hen fleas Ceratophyllus gallinae, a common ectoparasite of hole-breeding birds. We subsequently investigated the role of manipulated host condition, host immunocompetence, and experimentally induced host defence in nestlings on the reproductive success of individual hen flea females. ;3. The food supplementation of the nestlings significantly influenced the parasites' reproductive success. Female fleas laid significantly more eggs when feeding on food-supplemented hosts. ;4. Previous parasite exposure of the birds affected the reproductive success of fleas. However, the impact of this induced host response on flea reproduction depended on the birds' natural level of immunocompetence, assessed by the phytohaemagglutinin (PHA) skin test. Flea fecundity significantly decreased with increasing PHA response of the nestlings in previously parasite-exposed broods. No relationship between flea fitness and host immunocompetence was, however, found in previously unexposed broods. The PHA response thus correlates with the nestlings' ability to mount immunological or physiological defence mechanisms against hen fleas. No significant interaction effect between early flea exposure and food supplementation on the parasites' reproductive success was found. ;5. Our study shows that the reproductive success of hen fleas is linked to the hosts' food supply early in life and their ability to mount induced immunological or physiological defence mechanisms. These interactions between host quality and parasite fitness are likely to influence host preference, host choice and parasite virulence and thus the evolutionary dynamics in host-parasite systems.
