Preface This document describes the design and implementation and provides a preview of some key results of the Indonesia Family Life Survey, with an emphasis on wave 5 (IFLS5). It is the first of seven volumes documenting IFLS5. The Indonesia Family Life Survey is a continuing longitudinal socioeconomic and health survey. It is based on a sample of households representing about 83% of the Indonesian population living in 13 of the nation's 26 provinces in 1993. The survey collects data on individual respondents, their families, their households, the communities in which they live, and the health and education facilities they use. The first wave (IFLS1) was administered in 1993 to individuals living in 7,224 households. IFLS2 sought to re-interview the same respondents four years later. A follow-up survey (IFLS2+) was conducted in 1998 with 25% of the sample to measure the immediate impact of the economic and political crisis in Indonesia. The next wave, IFLS3, was fielded on the full sample in 2000. IFLS4 was fielded in late 2007 and early 2008 on the same 1993 households and their splitoffs. IFLS5 was fielded in late 2014 and early 2015 …
Electrophoretic characterization of sheep pox virus, Goat pox virus and lumpy skin disease virus BY

SUMMARY The counter immuno electrophoresis (CIE) test was used for differentiation between sheep pox virus (SPV), goat pox virus (GPV) and lumpy skin disease virus (LSDV). The viruses were isolated from clinically infected animals from farms at different Governorates of Egypt on chorio- allantoic membrane (CAM) of SPF eggs then adapted on VERO tissue culture cells (3 passages). The isolated viruses were identified by serum neutralization test (SNT) and agar gel precipitation test (AGPT) using reference antisera. The isolated viruses were used for counter immuno electrophoresis (CIE) in order to differentiate them. The CIE showed the presence of protein of varied electrophoretic mobility and sodium dodecyl sulphate poly acrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) was used to differentiate profiles of different bands of the three isolated viruses.
DEPRESSION OF ALANINE TRANSAMINASE ACTIVITY IN THE LIVER OF RATS BEARING WALKER CARCINOMA 256.

Summary Alanine transaminase activity in the liver of adult rats (350–450 gm.) fell progressively from the 10th through the 30th day of growth of Walker carcinoma 256. The enzyme activity decreased to a level about 30 per cent of that found in comparable rats of the same age without tumors. Loss of enzyme activity occurred concurrently, with a gradual loss of carcass weight. Treatment with cortisol (4 mg/kg, administered during the first 10 days of tumor growth) increased the activity of alanine transaminase in liver 2.5-fold, but the same dose did not alter transaminase activity when the tumors were large (days 20 through 30). The activity of this transaminase could be raised to normal in the presence of large tumors by feeding a diet containing 75 per cent casein. When this high-protein diet was fed, treatment with cortisol (4 mg/kg) increased alanine transaminase activity fourfold. Tyrosine transaminase and tryptophan pyrrolase differed from alanine transaminase in that both of these enzymes were increased four- to fivefold by cortisol (10 mg/kg) in the livers of rats with established Walker tumors.
Thalamus as a “hub” to predict outcome after epilepsy surgery

The role of the thalamus in mediating seizure activity has been investigated for decades.1 In 1952, Penfield2 proposed “centrencephalic” interactions as an integral part not only of generalized but also of focal automatisms. The dynamic integration between the centrencephalic system and cerebral cortex was hypothesized as pivotal for normal brain function, as well as a mechanism for seizure propagation. The concept was later hotly debated, and generalized seizures with 3-Hz spike wave discharges were considered mainly centrencephalic.1
Measuring social influence, user perception, innovation attributes and user satisfaction in the enterprise resource planning context

Over the recent years, the benefits of enterprise resource planning (ERP) system have appealed to small and medium enterprises (SMEs) rapidly. The samples come from 504 of the winners of outstanding SMEs award given by the Ministry of Economic Affairs in Taiwan. Valid questionnaires have 163 copies and have a return of 32%. The study examines critical factors that affect user behavioural intentions to system adoption and user satisfaction as the primary indicator for ERP success. The study results are as follows: (1) perceived usefulness has positive effect on user attitude to adopt; (2) user attitude to adopt has correlated to user behavioural intention to use positively; (3) perceived ease of use has correlated to perceived usefulness positively; (4) user attitude to adopt has correlated to user satisfaction positively; (5) user behavioural intention to use has correlated to user satisfaction positively and (6) social influence has been evaluated as correlated to critical mass positively. Most of hypotheses testing revealed supporting evidence for above relationships through structural equation modelling software (EQS) statistical analysis.
Practitioners’ Views About the Use of Business Email Within Organizational Settings: Implications for Developing Student Generic Competence

Although extensive research has been done on teaching emails and on the use of emails in organisations, little research exists about how to incorporate organizational practitioners’ views as the voices of the community of social practice. To remedy this pedagogical gap, this article uses a genre approach to discuss organizational practitioners’ views on the use of email in organizational settings. It also develops seven teaching and learning stages for situated learning and teaching in business communication based upon the presented study findings.
Ras gene mutation and amplification in human nonmelanoma skin cancers

Our previous studies have shown that human skin cancers occurring on sun‐exposed body sites frequently contain activated Ha‐ras oncogenes capable of inducing morphologic and tumorigenic transformation of NIH 3T3 cells. In this study, we analyzed human primary squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs) and basal cell carcinomas (BCCs) occurring on sun‐exposed body sites for mutations in codons 12, 13, and 61 of Ha‐ras, Ki‐ras, and N‐ras oncogenes by amplification of genomic tumor DNAs by the polymerase chain reaction, followed by dot‐blot hybridization to synthetic oligonucleotide probes designed to detect single base‐pair mutations. In addition to the primary human skin cancers, we also analyzed Ha‐ras‐positive NIH 3T3 transformants for mutations in the Ha‐ras oncogene. The results indicated that all three NIH 3T3 transformants, 11 of 24 (46%) SCCs, and 5 of 16 (31 %) BCCs contained mutations at the second position of Ha‐ras codon 12 (GGC→GTC), predicting a glycine‐to‐valine amino acid substitution, whereas only 1 of 40 skin cancers (an SCC) displayed a mutation in the first position of Ki‐ras codon 12 (GGT→AGT), predicting a glycine‐to‐serine amino acid change. In addition, three of the SCCs contained highly amplified copies of the N‐ras oncogene in their genomic DNA. Interestingly, two of the SCCs containing amplified N‐ras sequences also had G→T mutations in codon 12 of the Ha‐ras oncogene. These studies demonstrate that mutations in codon 12 of the Ha‐ras oncogene occurred at a high frequency in human skin cancers originating on sun‐exposed body sites, whereas mutation in codon 12 of Ki‐ras or amplification of N‐ras occurred at a low frequency. Since the mutations in the Ha‐ras and Ki‐ras oncogenes were located opposite potential pyrimidine dimer sites (C‐C), it is likely that these mutations were induced by ultraviolet radiation present in sunlight.
Relative Performance Concerns, Attention Allocation and Complementarities in Information Acquisition

This article studies how relative performance concerns affect institutional investors' information choices in the context of a multi-security market. I show that due to relative performance concerns and learning capacity constraint, institutional investors tend to acquire the same piece of information and the same asset as their peers. I also show that the change of distribution of capacity constraint can affect the price efficiency and cost of capital, but only through its effect on investors' average capacity constraint.
PERCEIVED IMPORTANCE OF WEIGHT TRAINING TO SELECTED NCAA DIVISION III MEN AND WOMEN STUDENT‐ATHLETES

The purpose of this study was to examine differences in perception of the importance of weight training as a part of general and sport-specific training for selected collegiate men and women student-athletes. Subjects included 139 men and 165 women varsity National Collegiate Athletic Association Division III student-athletes who participated in the following sports: baseball, basketball, field hockey, football, lacrosse, soccer, softball, swimming, tennis, track & field, or volleyball. Men student-athletes were significantly more likely to consider weight training essential to their general and sport-specific training than women student-athletes, as measured by the Training Information Survey. Additionally, men student-athletes were found to be significantly more competitive and win-oriented than women student-athletes (p < 0.001) as measured by the Sport Orientation Questionnaire, which is consistent with previous research. Results also showed that only highly goal-oriented student-athletes perceived weight training as: (a) important to both men and women and (b) having both feminine and masculine traits. It was concluded that significant gender differences exist in the perceived importance of weight training and that the constructs of competitiveness, win and goal orientation, may influence a student-athlete's perception of the importance of weight training. Coaches of both men and women student-athletes must teach that weight training is important for female and male student-athletes.
Differential risk of ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease among boys and girls after cesarean delivery.

centration in the blood may facilitate the washout of pneumocyst gas, and ultimately promote absorption of the pneumocysts. Hyperbaric oxygen allows shorter treatment time, active deflation of cysts, minimal oxygen toxicity, and possible direct antibacterial effect. Metronidazole has been used to treat primary PI. Being fully absorbed by the small intestine, elemental diet may decrease hydrogen production from colonic bacteria. We present the first case of PI after colonoscopy in a CD patient with endoscopic mucosal healing. The radiological findings in our relatively asymptomatic patient were likely due to biopsies and/or small mucosal defects at the ileocolonic anastomosis. Conservative management was sufficient for our patient. Endoscopic investigation for assessment of mucosal healing in IBD is gaining increasing interest. However, the risks of multiple colonoscopies should be carefully evaluated.
Essays on stock return comovement and corporate investment

This thesis contains three separate essays related to stock return comovement and corporate investment. The first essay examines the role of corporate insiders’ incentives in affecting stock return comovement and tests the empirical implications of Jin and Myers (2006) [“R around the World: New Theory and New Tests,” Journal of Financial Economics 79, 257-292]: Corporate insiders capture a firm’s cash flow beyond outside investors’ expectation by withholding good news and end up absorbing more firm-specific risk, thereby increasing stock return comovement. Using a total of 2,016 firms from 21 countries in East Asia and Western Europe, I show that the wedge between voting rights and cash flow rights is an important factor influencing the price formation process in which firm-specific good or bad news is differentially incorporated into stock price. Stock returns for high-wedge firms comove less with the market than for low-wedge firms, and control-ownership wedge is significantly and negatively related to the likelihood of positive return jumps but insignificantly related to crash risk. In addition, absolute abnormal returns cumulated over threeand five-day earnings announcement windows increase significantly with the wedge for the good-news subsample but not for the bad-news one. Overall, my evidence supports Jin and Myers (2006) intuition that corporate
Respiratory Risks in Tunnel Construction Workers

Respiratory diseases are frequent in tunnel construction workers. A group of 144 subjects randomly selected from the population of 2516 workers engaged in the construction of the railway tunnel under the Appennine Mountains, from Bologna to Firenze was investigated. A group of 69 males comparable for age, living area and habits was studied as a control group. Assessment of air pollutants (NO, NO2, SO2, total dust, silica %) was carried out by means of fixed monitoring stations as well as personal monitors. All the subjects included in the study were examined with a standardised protocol which included physical examination, lung function tests (before and after shift work) and a questionnaire to collect respiratory symptoms. Low concentrations of environmental pollutants were evidenced. Significantly lower values of FEV, and PEF were determined in the worker group pared to controls. A significant decrease in respiratory parameters was shown after shift work. Variables capable of influencing the decrease in parameters include smoking habits, work activity, presence of cough and expectoration, period of the year (spirometries resulted worse in the winter time). Significantly lower values of FEV1 and PEF were evidenced in the workers compared to controls. In spite of the present low work environmental exposure conditions, some physiologic parameters appear altered in tunnel construction workers. This may depend on a variety of noxious agents present in the working environment.
When are investment subsidies crucial for investments

EU enlargement to the less developed countries in Central and Eastern Europe is forcing policy makers to reconsider the role of business subsidies in the EU. For example, to what extent the use of investment subsidies should be allowed in the future? Which regions should be supported? In this paper we study conditions under which investment subsidy is a necessary requirement for project implementation in Finland. Empirical analysis is conducted using micro level data on investment projects of private sector firms. The data set comprises 1,836 projects that received public investment subsidies between 2001 and 2003. Our results show that the necessity of the investment subsidies is strongly dependent on the location of the firm as well as on the size of the firm and the investment project.
Feature-Based Summarizing and Ranking from Customer Reviews

Due to the rapid increase of Internet, web opinion sources dynamically emerge which is useful for both potential customers and product manufacturers for prediction and decision purposes. These are the user generated contents written in natural languages and are unstructured-free-texts scheme. Therefore, opinion mining techniques become popular to automatically process customer reviews for extracting product features and user opinions expressed over them. Since customer reviews may contain both opinionated and factual sentences, a supervised machine learning technique applies for subjectivity classification to improve the mining performance. In this paper, we dedicate our work is the task of opinion summarization. Therefore, product feature and opinion extraction is critical to opinion summarization, because its effectiveness significantly affects the identification of semantic relationships. The polarity and numeric score of all the features are determined by Senti-WordNet Lexicon. The problem of opinion summarization refers how to relate the opinion words with respect to a certain feature. Probabilistic based model of supervised learning will improve the result that is more flexible and effective. Keywords—Opinion Mining, Opinion Summarization, Sentiment Analysis, Text Mining.
The Statistical Analysis of Tones in Hong Kong Cantonese

This paper investigated 120 subjects of Hong Kong Cantonese speakers. Based on the collected data of Hong Kong Cantonese citation form, we used the computer software to get F0 and T value and applied the statistical method to conduct the analysis. The paper also explored the current characteristics and intrinsic differences of Hong Kong Cantonese tones. Based on the skewness data, we found that Tone 2 and Tone 5, Tone 3 and Tone 6 are likely to merge. We also further predicted the evolution direction of Hong Kong Cantonese tones.
Discrimination and Health among Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Trans People in Puerto Rico.

OBJECTIVE To identify the experiences of discrimination among and the perceived priorities for the health of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and trans (LGBT) people in Puerto Rico (PR). METHODS Data were collected during the 2013 LGBT Pride Parade in San Juan, using a brief self-administered survey that included questions on sociodemographic characteristics, the disclosure of sexual orientation/gender identity, experiences of discrimination, experiences while receiving social and health services, and perceived healthcare priorities and needs. RESULTS Most participants reported that they had disclosed their sexual orientation to at least one person. Discrimination due to sexual orientation/gender identity was most frequently reported to have occurred in school settings. At least 25% of the sample reported regular or negative experiences based on sexual orientation/gender identity when receiving government services and when looking for support from relatives. HIV/AIDS, mental health, and sexual health were identified as healthcare priorities. In bivariate analyses, mental health services and aging were the priorities most frequently reported among older participants. HIV/AIDS was the main priority only for gay men; sexual health was the main priority for bisexuals; and mental health was the main priority for lesbians. Most participants reported that their preferred modalities for health service provision were support groups and health education. CONCLUSION The experiences of discrimination among LGBT people in PR were consistent across age groups and sexual orientation/gender identity. Policies and interventions to address discrimination in different settings are necessary. The findings also suggest the need to prioritize HIV services among gay men and to address mental and sexual health needs among lesbian and bisexual people.
Androstenedione, testosterone, and free testosterone concentration in women of various occupations.

Abstract Serum androstenedione (A), testosterone (T), testosterone‐binding globulin (TBG), and free testosterone concentration (FTC) were correlated with occupational status in fifty‐five normal females. With some variation among age groups, A, T, and FTC were positively associated with occupation, mean levels being higher in students and professional, managerial, and technical workers compared to clerical workers and housewives. A and FTC also associated significantly with the degree of job complexity in relation to people, whereas T significantly correlated with the degree of job complexity in relation to things. These data most likely reflect biological and environmental causes in a hormone‐behavior feedback relationship. The genetic potential for increased androgen secretion may affect certain personality characteristics related to career‐orientation in females, i.e., those labeled “masculine” by this culture, such as assertiveness and independence. Moreover, the positive or negative stress associated.
Cooperative versus corporate governance of LTL networks

In the less than full truck load (LTL) freight market, integrated transport companies compete head-on with multilateral horizontal alliance networks of smaller LTL service providers: the LTL population is characterised by a dichotomy of cooperative and corporate governance modes. In this paper, we identify the strategic management challenges of LTL networks and analyse the suitability of the two alternative governance modes to respond to these challenges. The analysis reveals a framework which allows the systematic exploration of LTL networks from an institutional perspective. It shows the contingent effects of governance on the strategic decision fields of LTL networks. Integrated transportation companies are more efficient regarding decision-making and network configuration at the expense of potential disadvantages concerning capital resources, narrow-mindedness, bureaucratic tendencies and detachment from the customer. Transportation alliances benefit from innovative strategic initiatives and close customer relations, but suffer from potential incompatibilities of alliance partners and inefficiencies regarding strategic decision-making and network configuration.
Do Shareholders of Acquiring Firms Gain from Acquisitions?

We examine a sample of 12,023 acquisitions by public firms from 1980 to 2001. Shareholders of these firms lost a total of $218 billion when acquisitions were announced. Though shareholders lose throughout our sample period, losses associated with acquisition announcements after 1997 are dramatic. Small firms gain from acquisitions, so that shareholders of small firms gained $8 billion when acquisitions were announced and shareholders of large firms lost $226 billion. We examine the cross-sectional variation in the announcement returns of acquisitions. Small firm shareholders earn systematically more when acquisitions are announced. This size effect is typically more important than how an acquisition is financed and than the organizational form of the assets acquired. The only acquisitions that have positive aggregate gains are acquisitions of subsidiaries.
