Including risk in the balanced scorecard: Adoption rate and implementation methods of Johannesburg Stock Exchange listed organisations

It has been suggested in previous research that it might be worthwhile to include risk measures in the balanced scorecard (BSC) or to rework it in order to manage risk. The literature review in this study indicated that some conceptual and case study research has been done to investigate how an organisation could go about accomplishing this. A number of researchers noted that including risk measures on the face of the scorecard might lead to a problem of over-complexity. Using content analysis as the method of inquiry, this study explored how organisations are currently adding risk to their scorecards. The key fi nding of the study was that organisations that have reported adding risk measures to their BSCs are predominantly adding risk measures to the face of their scorecards. This fi nding is interesting because it would indicate that the previously reported and conceptualised problem of complexity does not seem to have such a great impact as previously thought.
Carbon dioxide as a pH-switch anti-solvent for biomass fractionation and pre-treatment with aqueous hydroxide solutions

Rice husks (or rice hulls) pre-treated with aqueous potassium hydroxide solutions showed excellent glucose yields during enzymatic saccharification. CO2 addition to the hydroxide solutions precipitated the dissolved rice husk silica as a nanoporous powder, while Ca(OH)2 addition regenerated the hydroxide solution and precipitated the dissolved lignin. Fractionation of the biomass was thus achieved using CO2 addition as a reversible pH-switch, and the hydroxide could be repeatedly recycled while maintaining biomass pre-treatment and fractionation efficacy.
Hyperfine interaction with the 
Th229
 nucleus and its low-lying isomeric state

The thorium nucleus with mass number $A=229$ has attracted much interest because its extremely low lying first excited isomeric state at about $8$eV opens the possibility for the development of a nuclear clock. However, neither the exact energy of this nuclear isomer nor properties, such as nuclear magnetic dipole and electric quadrupole moment are known to a high precision so far. The latter can be determined by investigating the hyperfine structure of thorium atoms or ions. Due to its electronic structure and the long lifetime of the nuclear isomeric state, Th$^{2+}$ is especially suitable for such kind of studies. In this letter we present a combined experimental and theoretical investigation of the hyperfine structure of the $^{229}$Th$^{2+}$ ion in the nuclear ground and isomeric state. A very good agreement between theory and experiment is found for the nuclear ground state. Moreover, we use our calculations to confirm the recently presented experimental value for the nuclear magnetic dipole moment of the thorium nuclear isomer, which was in contradiction to previous theoretical studies.
Heterosis, sex and breed differences in the fatty acid composition of muscle phospholipids in beef cattle

Longissimus dorsi muscle tissue was biopsied between the 12th and 13th ribs of 96 purebred Jersey, purebred Limousin and Jersey x Limousin crossbred calves at the age of 9 to 10 months. Fatty acids of the phospholipid fraction were extracted and analysed for sex and breed differences. Heterosis, additive and maternal variances were estimated. All calves grazed pasture in a single management group and were biopsied from the same anatomical site. Steer calves had significantly higher proportions of the 14:0, 14:1, 18:2, 20:3 fatty acids and less of the 16-di-methyl-acetal than heifer calves. Significant breed differences were observed: Limousin calves had the highest proportions of 16:0, 24:0 and saturated fatty acids (SFA), whereas Jersey x Limousin calves had the most 18:0 and elongation index. Dominant effects were evident in the proportions of 16:0, 18:0, SFA and elongation index. Additive genetic effects were significant in the proportions of 16:0, 18:0, 18:1n-9, total SFA and desaturation and elongation indices. Combined maternal and additive effects were significant for long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids 18:2, 20:3 and 20:4.
IRRELEVANT SINGLETONS DO NOT CAPTURE ATTENTION BUT AFFECT PERCEPTION

There is ongoing debate surrounding the questions of whether and how salient visual information can be ignored when it is irrelevant to the observer's attentional set. While some authors have shown that in search for a color-defined target, an irrelevant-color precue delays response when it appears at the same location as the target than at a different location, others have reported no effect for irrelevant-color precues. Our objective here was to determine the boundary conditions of this same-location cost. While a same-color precue captured attention to its location, there was a same-location cost when the target and precue colors did not match. However, the cost emerged only when the exposure duration of the precue display was long enough. These findings suggest that the cost is not a form of inhibitory process independent of attentional set and is unrelated to perceptual masking.
Variation of Certain Haemostatic Parameters in Hypothyroidism

Thyroid disorders which has increased incidence in females, were found to effect coagulationfibrinolytic system. In the present study an effort is made to evaluate the alterations of certain haemostatic parameters in overt hypothyroid patients. Bleeding time, clotting time & platelet count were estimated in hypothyroid subjects and control group, with sample size of 15 each. Hypothyroid group included subjects with low FT3, FT4 & elevated TSH value (mean 14.9 mU/L). Both the groups were age and sex matched. The results showed prolonged bleeding time and clotting time which were statistically significant with p-value of <0.0001 for both the parameters each. In the present study, hypothyroid group showed decreased platelet count when compared to control group which was statistically significant with a p-value of <0.0001. This finding was in contrast to many of the previous studies which showed either increase in platelet count or even if there was decrease, it was statistically not so significant. This shows increased bleeding tendency or hypocoagulable state in overt hypothyroid patients. The more elevated the TSH levels, the more the deviation of haemostatic parameters from normal. Key-words: Hypothyroidism FT3, FT4, TSH, haemostasis, bleeding time, clotting time, platelet count. INTRODUCTION Haemostasis is intricate, well balanced system, maintaining delicate balance between coagulation and fibrinolytic systems. Though haemostasis involves complex multitude of intertwined cascade reactions, ultimately it results in homeostasis. May it be for maintenance of blood in fluid state on one hand or for sealing and containing the injured blood vessel by primary and secondary hemostatic plugs on the other hand,by activating clotting mechanism that too in a well regulated and sequential manner and resolving of the clot later on by fibrinolytic system, it depicts how well haemostasis is regulated and controlled inspite of involving intricate mechanisms. Such physiological processes are very much essential for maintaining equilibrium. Added to this, haemostasis may be influenced by myriad of factors like autoimmunity, certain drugs and endocrine disorders. Among the various endocrine abnormalities, thyroid disorders do effect haemostasis.

Effect of risk factors of bronchial asthma on elderly health related quality of life at assiut university hospital, Egypt

The present study aimed to assess quality of life of elderly asthmatics and to determine risk factors that may influence it. The study was carried out in the chest out-patient clinics and chest departments at Assiut University Hospital. The sample type of this study total coverage during one year consists of one hundred and five elderly people aged 60 years and above suffering from bronchial asthma disease. Two tools were used for data collection, tool one divided into three parts, socio-demographic data risk factors assessment, and history of bronchial asthma. Tool two to assessment health related quality of life of asthmatic patients was using St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ). The main results yielded by the study proved that, there were highly significant differences between risk factors of bronchial asthma disease and health-related quality of life. The study recommended that further research be implemented to improve the effect of health related quality of life for asthmatic patients.
Analysis of Monetary Policy and Financial Stability: A New Paradigm

This paper introduces agent heterogeneity, liquidity, and endogenous default to a DSGE framework. Our model allows for a comprehensive assessment of regulatory and monetary policy, as well as welfare analysis in the different sectors of the economy. Due to liquidity and endogenous default, the transmission mechanism of shocks is well defined, and their short to medium run effects on financial stability are properly captured.
Subgenomic Diversity Patterns Caused by Directional Selection in Bread Wheat Gene Pools

Genetic diversity represents the fundamental key to breeding success, providing the basis for breeders to select varieties with constantly improving yield performance. On the other hand, strong selection during domestication and breeding have eliminated considerable genetic diversity in the breeding pools of major crops, causing erosion of genetic potential for adaptation to emerging challenges like climate change. High‐throughput genomic technologies can address this dilemma by providing detailed knowledge to characterize and replenish genetic diversity in breeding programs. In hexaploid bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), the staple food for 35% of the world's population, bottlenecks during allopolyploidisation followed by strong artificial selection have considerably narrowed diversity to the extent that yields in many regions appear to be unexpectedly stagnating. In this study, we used a 90,000 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) wheat genotyping array to assay high‐frequency, polymorphic SNP markers in 460 accessions representing different phenological diversity groups from Asian, Australian, European, and North American bread wheat breeding materials. Detailed analysis of subgroup diversity at the chromosome and subgenome scale revealed highly distinct patterns of conserved linkage disequilibrium between different gene pools. The data enable identification of genome regions in most need of rejuvenation with novel diversity and provide a high‐resolution molecular basis for genomic‐assisted introgression of new variation into chromosome segments surrounding directionally selected metaloci conferring important adaptation and quality traits.
Mutation of the first ATG ORF-3 of Chicken Anemia Virus into ACG completely abolish the apoptin production

To test the effect of one point mutation on the first initiation codon of Chicken Anemia Virus (CAV) open reading frame-3 (ORF-3), an apoptin knocked out expressor plasmid pCLS-VP3(-) and a CAV apoptin knocked out plasmid pCAV/Ap(-) were constructed. In both plasmids, the first ATG in ORF-3 was mutated into ACG by a reversed long PCR. No apoptin detected in COS-1 cells transfected with pCLS-VP3(-) using western blotting and immunofluorescence assay, while apoptin was detected in COS-1 cells transfected with pCLS wild type. After released from pCAV/Ap(-), the complete genome of CAV/Ap(-) was ligated to form the replicative form. The apoptin production was completely abolished in MDCC-MSB1 cells transfected with replicative form of CAV/Ap(-). The apoptin production was fully regained after a reverse mutation into CAV/Ap(-)RM. These data shows the first evidence that mutation of the first ATG of ORF-3 into ACG could completely abolish the production of apoptin. Key words: Chicken Anemia Virus, Circovirus, Gyrovirus, Apoptin
A Retrospective Audit Of Drug Administration Errors During Elective Surgery

Wherever humans work, varying degrees of e rror occur and the health care system is not exempted. The error may occur during drug administration. Materials/ Method: A retrospective study involving all patients who had undergone surgery as elective procedures using a general or regional anaesthetic technique within a twelve month period and discussion of the relevant literature. Result Out of the eight hundred and ninety-five elective surgical procedures, five patients were reported as involved in errors of drug administration: Conclusion: In order to minimize risks, the anaesthetist must carefully read labels before drug administration. Such labels must be written using clear handwriting or typed out where possible
Big Five Factors and Employees' Voice Behavior among Employees in Small-Medium Enterprise in Penang

This paper examined the relationship between the Big Five factors (openness to experience, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness and neuroticism) and employees’ voice behavior among employees of SME in Penang. The independent variables are the Big Five factors while the dependent variable is employees’ voice behavior. The hypothesized relationship between the Big Five factors and employees’ voice behavior is based on a logical argument that those who demonstrate Big Five factors would be positively and negatively related to employees’ voice behavior to their superior. The theories that support the theoretical framework are the theory of individual difference in task and contextual performance. A total of 292 questionnaires were distributed to employees of a small-medium enterprise in Penang. A total of 108 usable questionnaires were returned yielding a usable response rate of 74%. The collected data were analyzed statistically using multivariate statistics. Factor analysis, reliability analysis, descriptive analysis, correlational analysis, and regression analysis were used as the bases of analyses. The results only indicated that agreeableness and neuroticism among the five independent variables were significantly related to employees’ voice behavior, but positively significant, which did not support the hypotheses of the study. Therefore, all the hypotheses were not supported by the study results.
A REVIEW ON MINDFULNESS AND NURSING STRESS AMONG NURSES

Previous research has been done on mindfulness and nursing stress but no review has been done to highlight the most up-to-date findings, to justify the recommendation of mindfulness training for the nursing field. The present paper aims to review the relevant studies, derive conclusions, and discuss future direction of research in this field. A total of 19 research papers were reviewed. The majority was intervention studies on the effects of mindfulness-training programs on nursing stress. Higher mindfulness is correlated with lower nursing stress. Mindfulness-based training programs were found to have significant positive effects on nursing stress and psychological well-being. The studies were found to have non-standardized intervention methods, inadequate research designs, small sample size, and lack of systematic follow-up on the sustainability of treatment effects, limiting the generalizability of the results. There is also a lack of research investigation into the underlying mechanism of action of mindfulness on nursing stress. Future research that addresses these limitations is indicated.
Climate Change, Procrastination and Asymmetric Power

This paper argues that policy conclusions of the economics of climate change literature based on “integrated assessment models” (IAM) fails to take into account the intricacies of collective action. Specifically, IAMs do not account for how asymmetric power between developed and undeveloped countries changes the former's pay off matrix with respect to mitigation and adaptation strategies. Using a simple one-sided prisoner's dilemma model, the paper illustrates how developed countries' power to externalize their emissions to the global commons skews their cost-benefit calculation in favor of putting off mitigation efforts into the future. Undeveloped countries on the other hand are incentivized to act in concert to deter developed countries from passing their climate costs onto them in the present. The extent to which they may succeed in doing so also helps developed countries overcome their short-termism on climate change policy.
Satisfaction of the Creative Class with Living in Szczecin: a Relationship Perspective

Abstract This paper presents a set of criteria for measuring the satisfaction of the creative class derived from living in Szczecin. For this purpose, data from a telephone survey sample of the Szczecin creative class was collected*. On the basis of these criteria, the satisfaction level is estimated in the light of such factors as the attractiveness of and access to urban amenities, the city’s aesthetic values, and the attitude towards the closest neighbourhood. As a result, the satisfaction level reflects the relationship between the creative class and the local government. Also, this level decides the choice of representatives of the creative class as to whether to continue living in Szczecin or move out.
Television and Academic Performance of Nigerian Youths: Implications for National Development

This study emphasizes on the devastating impact of Television on the youths’ academic performance, propensity for violence, unruly behavior and the loss of moral and national values . TV is a compact structure that creates an intimate medium, because it brings the world into o ur homes not as a mere transmission device, but as a medium that brings its audience into direct relationship w ith particular values and attitudes. TV remains the most time consuming activity, yet the main source of news and information. It is the medium through which politi cs is conducted and it is humanity’s main form of enterta inment. It is a significant way of passing on infor mation to the people, because it is considered to be the grea test communication mechanism ever designed and operated by man after the internet. The study employs quantitat ive empirical primary and secondary data. The findi ngs of the study drew attention to the fact that TV viewing ho urs have significant effects on the students’ acade mic performance. In other words, staying in front of th e TV set for too many hours does not allow students to bring out their full potentials in their academics. It t herefore recommends that all the stakeholders to th is effect should become more active to ensure that the media become sensitive to the impact of violence on the youths. Parents should monitor what their children watch on TV.
Fluid dynamics and fluid-structural relationships in the Red Lake mine trend, Red Lake greenstone belt, Ontario, Canada

The Red Lake mine trend, a deformation zone in the Archean Red Lake greenstone belt that hosts the world-class Campbell-Red Lake gold deposit, is characterized by abundant foliation-parallel iron-carbonate ± quartz veins with banded colloform-crustiform structures and cockade breccias overprinted by silicification and gold mineralization. There is an apparent incompatibility between the cavity-fill structures of the veins and breccias (typically developed at shallow crustal depths) and the upper greenschist to lower amphibole facies metamorphic conditions recorded in the host rocks (indicating relatively deep environments). This, together with the development of veins along the foliation plane, represents an enigmatic problem that may be related to the interplay between fluid dynamics and stress field. We approach this problem through systematic study of fluid inclusion planes (FIPs) in the vein minerals, including the orientations of the FIPs and the pressure–temperature conditions inferred from fluid inclusion microthermometry. We find that fluid inclusions in the main stage vein minerals (pregold mineralization ankerite and quartz and syn-ore quartz) are predominantly carbonic without a visible aqueous phase, whereas many inclusions in the postore stage contain an aqueous phase. Most FIPs are subvertical, and many are subparallel to the foliation. High fluid pressure coupled with the high wetting angles of the water-poor, carbonic fluids may have been responsible for the abundance of brittle deformation features. The development of subvertical FIPs is interpreted to indicate episodic switching of the maximum principal compressive stress (σ1) from subhorizontal (perpendicular to the foliation) to subvertical (parallel to the foliation) orientation. The subvertical σ1 is favorable for the formation of foliation-parallel veins, as fractures are preferentially opened along the foliation in such a stress regime, the origin of which may be linked to the fluid source.

"This article proposes a theory of group formation based on the motive to seek informed opinion. Because an individual evaluates whether others are informed or not using his own priors, he identifies people with similar beliefs to be more informed than those with different beliefs. The result is an equilibrium in which like-minded individuals self-select into distinct groups, with members of each group believing that their own group is superior.

Using Game Engine for Online 3D Terrain Visualization with Oil Palm Tree Data

Nowadays, cartography, otherwise known as mapping, are serving people in multiple aspects of livelihood and administration like planning, rescue, military, and tourism. The information is usually presented in the map by using legends, elevation, and contour. With the passage of time, many new methods of mapping are introduced which are divided into the non-digital and digital version. Another method used is the incorporation of 3D modelling in virtual aspect by simulating real-world data. In the recent years using the game engine is one of the important 3D modelling approaches obtained. The game engine has a lot more capabilities to simulate real-world terrains whereas using database support for terrain visualisation, new functionality can be used. This article discussed how to utilise game engine technology for developing 3D terrain visualisation with oil palm tree data. With the success of the system, it, therefore, gives benefits to potential visitors especially the manager of oil palm plantation, decision makers and planners to explore the online 3D terrain visualisation with oil palm tree data and manage it.
Understanding and Modelling Behavioural Requirements: an Exploratory Study

Clear understanding of system requirements is necessary to achieve quality in the architectural design and in the development process of a software system. Several studies focus on the comprehensibility of graphical modelling languages. Contributions to other areas in Software Engineering use empirical investigation to explore how individuals approach collaborative learning tasks in different phases of software development. This paper describes an exploratory case study we conducted with 10 undergraduate students to investigate how subjects approach modelling of system requirements. We used the method of constructive interaction to identify the most common difficulties and to explore whether different requirements specification formats affect the approach of the subjects. We observed that the most common difficulties were related to misuse of UML syntax elements. Furthermore, our findings suggest that the approach of the subjects is affected by the completeness of the requirements specification they use.
