The university students time management skills in terms of their academic life satisfaction and academic achievement levels

The purpose of this present research is examining the correlations between university students' time management skills and their academic life satisfaction and academic achievement levels. In addition, the present research tests whether there are significant differences between university students' time management skills and academic life satisfaction levels in terms of age groups, gender, departments and classes. 308 female and 242 male; a total of 550 students who were selected randomly among students who study at various departments of Mugla Kocman University School of Physical Education and Sports and Faculty of Education, in Turkey, participated in the research. In the present research, “time management scale” developed by Britton and Tesser (1991) and adapted to Turkish by Alay and Kocak (2002); and adapted to academic life question form of “The Satisfaction with Life Scale -SWLS” developed by Diener et al. in 1985 and adapted to Turkish by Yetim (1993) were used as data collection tools. In the research, latest academic achievement averages in the transcripts that are recorded in the student’s data files were based on as academic achievement levels of the students. Besides, personal information form of 4 questions that was prepared in accordance with the purpose of the present research was used. In the present research, pearson correlation analysis was used in order to determine the correlations between students' time management skills, academic life satisfaction and academic achievement levels; and t test was used in groups of two, and anova tests were used in groups of more than two in order to test whether there are significant differences in the students' time management levels, academic life satisfaction levels and academic achievement levels in terms of age groups, gender, departments and classes. Tukey Honestly Significant Difference (HSD) test was used to detect the source of the difference in the groups of more than two. According to the findings of the present research, there is a positive correlation at 0.01 significance level between university students' time management skills, academic life satisfaction and academic achievement levels. Besides, no significance difference was detected between students' time management skills across genders (p>0.05); and there is a significance difference between students' academic life satisfaction levels across genders (p<0.05). Key words: Time, management, life, satisfaction, achievement, student.
Critical appraisal of quantitative PCR results in colorectal cancer research: Can we rely on published qPCR results?

The use of real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) in cancer research has become ubiquitous. The relative simplicity of qPCR experiments, which deliver fast and cost-effective results, means that each year an increasing number of papers utilizing this technique are being published. But how reliable are the published results? Since the validity of gene expression data is greatly dependent on appropriate normalisation to compensate for sample-to-sample and run-to-run variation, we have evaluated the adequacy of normalisation procedures in qPCR-based experiments. Consequently, we assessed all colorectal cancer publications that made use of qPCR from 2006 until August 2013 for the number of reference genes used and whether they had been validated. Using even these minimal evaluation criteria, the validity of only three percent (6/179) of the publications can be adequately assessed. We describe common errors, and conclude that the current state of reporting on qPCR in colorectal cancer research is disquieting. Extrapolated to the study of cancer in general, it is clear that themajority of studies using qPCR cannot be reliably assessed and that at best, the results of these studies may or may not be valid and at worst, pervasive incorrect normalisation is resulting in thewholesale publication of incorrect conclusions. This survey demonstrates that theexistenceof guidelines, suchasMIQE, is necessary butnot sufficient to address this problemand suggests that the scientific community should examine its responsibility and be aware of the implications of these findings for current and future research. a 2014 Federation of European Biochemical Societies.

University of Southern Denmark Compromised Sexual Health Among Male Patients With Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator

Received Ju Departmen Copenhage Departmen Denmark; The Natio Odense Un Denmark; National I Copenhage Sex Med 2 Introduction: In cardiac patients with implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD), sexual function is sparsely described. Aim: To determine the prevalence and distribution of sexual dysfunction, and to describe whether primary or secondary prophylactic ICD indication and antitachycardia pacing (ATP) or shock is associated with sexual function. Methods: A cross-sectional survey of men with an implanted ICD was conducted at 2 university hospitals in Denmark. Inclusion criteria were men over the age of 18 with an ICD. Exclusion criterion was no partner. Main Outcome Measure: Sexual function was assessed by the International Index of Erectile Function questionnaire and data on implantation indication (primary/secondary prevention) and therapy such as ATP and shock (both appropriate and inappropriate) was obtained from the Danish ICD Register. Results: Data from 415 questionnaires were analyzed (response rate 50.2%). Patients had a mean age of 63.9±12.1 years. Erectile dysfunction (ED) was present in 70% of patients, orgasmic dysfunction was present in 57.9% of patients, 82.8% had reduced sexual desire, 85.8% had intercourse satisfaction problems, and 76.9% experienced overall satisfaction problems (non-validated metric except for ED). Patients with an ICD on primary prophylactic indication had more sexual dysfunction and ED compared with patients with an ICD on secondary prophylactic indication. ATP therapy, but not shock, was associated with more ED. Conclusion: Sexual dysfunction is common in patients with ICD and is not limited to ED, but also orgasmic function, desire, intercourse, and overall satisfaction are affected. Primary prophylactic ICD indication and ATP, but not shock therapy, is associated with compromised sexual function. Palm P, Zwisler A-D, Svendsen JH.

Understanding online gamers' intentions to play games online and effects on their loyalty: An integration of IDT, TAM and TPB

The theoretical understanding of e-commerce has received much attention over the past years; however, relatively little focus has been directed to online gaming. Therefore, this paper aims to examine the antecedents of Online Gamers' Intention to play games online and its effect on their loyalty based on integrating three well-recognized theories. Using PLS-SEM approach to analyze the data collected from 1,660 online gamer, the results show the integration between IDT, TAM, and TPB provide a suitable explanation for Online Gamers' Intention to play online games. Intentions to play online games are mostly determined by attitude, compatibility, and social interactions. Furthermore, gender plays a key role in understanding online gamers' intention to play and their loyalty. The findings also offer essential implications for online gaming developers and marketers.
AN EVALUATION OF SENTIMENT ANALYSIS ON SMART ENTERTAINMENT AND DEVICES REVIEWS

Ever expanding utilization of the internet and online activities such as booking, blogging, e-commerce and conferencing, leads us to analyze very large quantities of structured data and unstructured data through Sentiment Analysis (SA). SA refers to the application of Natural Language Processing (NLP), computational linguistics, and data mining to classify whether the review is positive or negative. SA of this customer-generated data is extremely valuable to get a clearer perspective of public opinion and mood. In this paper, we evaluate the most popular Machine Learning (ML) algorithms such as Artificial Neural Networks (ANN), Support Vector Machines (SVM), and Nave Bayes (NB), which are utilized for SA on different user reviews datasets such as movie reviews, product reviews, and smart electronics devices over the last five years. The results show that using the ANN classifier along with the unigram as a feature extractor accomplishes a high accuracy 90.3%.
Investigation on Dynamic Meshing Process and Factors Influencing Root Crack Propagation Trajectory of a Representative Aero-engine Gear Pair

The gear in an aero-engine experiences alternate loads therefore the stresses on gear root change significantly in meshing process. As a consequence, fatigue crack initiates on the gear root. This paper examined meshing process and crack propagation trajectory of the aero-engine gear based on explicit dynamics and linear elastic fracture mechanics. The crack on gear root affects meshing process and causes additional noise and vibration.The meshing impact and the peak of stress distribution of the gear pair is also magnified. Furthermore, the root crack propagation can cause the rim fracture and tooth fracture of gear system. The occurrence of rim fracture increases as the backup ratio (i.e., rim thickness divided by tooth height) decreases and also increases as the initial crack location is moved down the root of the tooth; the orientation of initial crack has little influence on crack propagation trajectory.
A P ] 3 0 N ov 2 01 7 Willmore flow of planar networks

Geometric gradient flows for elastic energies of Willmore type play an important role in mathematics and in many applications. The evolution of elastic curves has been studied in detail both for closed as well as for open curves. Although elastic flows for networks also have many interesting features, they have not been studied so far from the point of view of mathematical analysis. So far it was not even clear what are appropriate boundary conditions at junctions. In this paper we give a well-posedness result for Willmore flow of networks in different geometric settings and hence lay a foundation for further mathematical analysis. A main point in the proof is to check whether different proposed boundary conditions lead to a well posed problem. In this context one has to check the Lopatinskii–Shapiro condition in order to apply the Solonnikov theory for linear parabolic systems in Hölder spaces which is needed in a fixed point argument. We also show that the solution we get is unique in a purely geometric sense. Mathematics Subject Classification (2010): 35K52, 53C44 (primary); 35K61, 35K41 (secondary).
Financial development and growth: Evidence from Serbia

This paper studies the relationship between financial development and economic growth in Serbia. We focus on the influence of stock market and banking-sector development on growth. Using the framework of a neoclassical growth model, we investigate the impact of stock market liquidity and credit activity of banks on per-capita GDP growth rate. In lines with many previous results in the literature, we find a positive and statistically significant impact of stock market liquidity and bank credit on economic growth. We control for the usual determinants of growth, such as government consumption, foreign direct investments and inflation.
Special Thematic Section on "The Social Psychology of Citizenship, Participation and Social Exclusion" Constructions of ‘the Polish’ in Northern England: Findings From a Qualitative Interview Study

The enlargement of the European Union in 2004 gave rise to moral panics concerning the likelihood of mass migration from the new eastern European member states to established member states in the west. A great deal of social and political science research has examined the ongoing impact of the enlargement, but there remains a gap in the literature regarding the ways in which members of ‘receiving’ populations reacted to these changes. The present paper reports findings from a qualitative interview study of 14-16 year-olds conducted in northern England. It focuses on how migrants from one particular country – Poland – were constructed by participants. Drawing on previous analyses of immigration and racist discourse, the study points to some ways in which Polish migrants andmigration were constructed, and how complaints against ‘the Polish’ were formulated. The analysis focusses on four key issues: employment and the economy; language and culture; threat and intimidation; and physical stereotyping. It is suggested that constructions of ‘the Polish’ draw on the tropes of both ‘old’ and ‘new’ racism, and that attention to the use of deixical ingroup referents (‘us’, ‘we’, ‘our’) in contrast to the explicit labelling of the outgroup (‘the Polish’) can be understood in terms of the requirement to present complaints concerning migrant groups via appeals to assumed universal standards of behaviour and civility.
xtracurricular activities and group belonging as a protective factor in dolescence orma

In the transition into adulthood, family and school play a critical role protecting the adolescent from engaging in behaviors that could cause mental health problems. Nevertheless, there are other social groups and structured activities that have shown to act as an educational activity and as a protective factor as well. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between belonging to different types of social groups and the positive and negative mental health indicators of Mexican adolescents. Participants were 840 Mexican adolescents ranging between 12 and 17 years old. Results indicated that belonging to artistic and scout groups reported a statistically significant correlation with higher levels of emotional intelligence. Belonging to sport and artistic groups reported a statistically significant correlation with higher levels of resilience. No statistically significant results were found on anxiety, depression, and/or disruptive behaviors. Further research is needed, especially investigating possible predictive and moderating variables. © 2016 Colegio Oficial de Psicólogos de Madrid. Published by Elsevier España, S.L. U.

CHAPTER 15 COMPENSATION CONSULTANTS AND EXECUTIVE PAY

This chapter provides a review of the recent literature on compensation consultants and executive pay. Six major pay consulting firms dominate the market. These firms advise client firms about executive pay and frequently supply other services such as actuarial work. There is some evidence that CEO pay is higher in firms that use compensation consultants. However, the hypothesis that CEO pay is higher in firms whose consultants face potential conflicts of interest, such as cross-selling of other services, is not as empirically robust.

Exploring the Strength of the Process Writing Approach as a Pedagogy for Fostering Learner Autonomy in Writing Among Young Learners

Learner autonomy is widely recognized as a desirable educational goal in second or foreign language learning. However, the generality of the concept often makes it difficult to either nurture or measure the related traits. The present study focused on learner autonomy in the area of writing, exploring the use of the process approach as a means to foster its development in terms of students’ emerging writing skills. The study was conducted in the naturalistic settings of three secondary school ESL writing classrooms in Hong Kong involving 70 student participants. Data gathered quantitatively with a questionnaire and qualitatively through self-assessment forms, learners’ journals and case studies suggest that the process approach can reduce students’ reliance on the teacher and their tendency to seek help from others, while leading to growth in their metacognitive knowledge about writing and their knowledge of themselves as writers. These developments are all signs of the emergence of learner autonomy in these young ESL writers. Overall, the findings suggest that the process approach can bring about similar changes in young writers despite variations in the cultural backgrounds and teaching beliefs of its implementers. It is argued that the strength of the process approach may lie in the stimulation of the growth of autonomous skills and attitudes in writing in young learners, and such a strength should be recognized by language educators who view learner autonomy as a major educational goal.

The Influence of Internal Promotion and Training Incentives on Employee Performance at University of Nairobi

The paper examines the extent to which incentives such as employee training and internal promotion contribute to employee performance, the case of University of Nairobi. The study was descriptive in nature and investigated employee training and internal promotion to assess employee performance at the University of Nairobi. The target population in this study was the non-teaching staff of Nairobi University, whereby stratified sampling technique was applied. The findings of the study revealed that both employee training and internal promotion as human resource management practice enhances performance of employees and enhances organization’s competitiveness. A major recommendation is the need to harmonize and integrate internal promotion and training as incentives towards employee improved performance. Further research should be done to explore the role of emerging technology, environment (facility layout, location, and supervision), attitude (character) and other personal (family issues) as other factors that affect employee’s performance.

Bacterial Sialometabolism� Ho� and��� Bacteria Metabolize Host Sialic Acids

Sialic acids are structurally diverse nine-carbon ketosugars found mostly in humans and other animals as the terminal units on carbohydrate chains linked to proteins or lipids. e sialic acids function in cell-cell and cell-molecule interactions necessary for organismic development and homeostasis. ey not only pose a barrier to microorganisms inhabiting or invading an animal mucosal surface, but also present a source of potential carbon, nitrogen, and cell wall metabolites necessary for bacterial colonization, persistence, growth, and, occasionally, disease. e explosion of microbial genomic sequencing projects reveals remarkable diversity in bacterial sialic acid metabolic potential. How bacteria exploit host sialic acids includes a surprisingly complex array of metabolic and regulatory capabilities that is just now entering a mature research stage. is paper attempts to describe the variety of bacterial sialometabolic systems by focusing on recent advances at the molecular and host-microbeinteraction levels. e hope is that this focus will provide a framework for further research that holds promise for better understanding of the metabolic interplay between bacterial growth and the host environment. An ability to modify or block this interplay has already yielded important new insights into potentially new therapeutic approaches for modifying or blocking bacterial colonization or infection.
Corporate Governance Code Compliance and financial performance: the case of Austrian stock listed companies

This article analyzes the correlation between compliance to the Austrian Code of Corporate Governance and financial success of Austrian stock listed companies. It uses a sample of 52 Austrian companies that are listed on the Vienna Stock Exchange and corporate data collected from company publications such as annual reports, financial reports, corporate governance reports and company websites. Three accounting measures – return on assets, return on equity and net profit margin – were chosen in order to proxy the financial performance of a company. The period under review ranges from 2008 to 2016, whereas particular attention is given to the years 2010 to 2016. A corporate governance compliance score has been established on the comply or explain basis and recommendation rules of the Austrian Code of Corporate Governance in order to measure a company’s ability of implementing ‘good’ corporate governance practices. In line with research for other countries, this study finds no statistical evidence that a correlation exists between high compliance to the Austrian Code of Corporate Governance and financial success of companies listed on the Austrian Stock Exchange. The paper highlights the uniqueness of the Austrian Corporate Governance system when compared to other systems and gives arguments why companies comply with corporate governance recommendations.
