Identity, influence and interconnections:ethos and the N. Ireland Controlled education sector

Transferred from the ownership of the Protestant churches after Partition, N. Ireland's Controlled schools have long suffered from a lack of collective identity, representation and ethos. It is envisaged that these issues will be ameliorated by the introduction of the Controlled Schools' Support Council (CSSC), whose work is underpinned by a Vision Statement for the ethos of the sector. This study investigates the under-explored area of the Controlled Sector and its ethos, whose values underpin it and how these values reflect its schools and stakeholders. The research of ethos is viewed through the lens of policy and applies Ball's (1997) trajectory approach in considering the potential impact of the CSSC's statement upon the sector's ethos. Employing exploratory and embedded approaches (Cresswell and Plano Clark, 2007) to mixed-methods data collection, a large-scale survey of Controlled principals complemented semi-structured interviews with a representative sample of policy-makers and principals. The study found a fragmented, unconnected and unsupported sector, which, although linked to Christian values, is uncertain in articulating what it is, does and stands for. It found a warm welcome for the CSSC, for continuing and increased church involvement, for the Christian values espoused in the Vision Statement, believing that it will not disenfranchise those who hold other worldviews, and for the statement as a basis for a collective ethos underpinning schools' individual ethoi. In addition to new insights on the sector, this study adds to the body of knowledge on ethos, building on the claim that ethos needs connecting words to make it intelligible (Allder, 1993) by proposing that there are eight terms most frequently associated with, confused with, or substituted for ethos and that, collectively, these interconnect to distinguish it more clearly. It also concurs with Donnelly (2000) and McLaughlin (2005) that ethos is found in the 'gap' between intended and lived, but concludes that this gap can be significantly narrowed in conceptualising ethos at the intersection of these eight interconnectors, proposing an ethos test which identifies the ethos through the characteristics of each. In isolating the current attributes of the Controlled Sector's interconnectors, and using the findings to suggest how these might change in light of the CSSC and Vision Statement, the test showed that a different and more positive ethos might result.
Modern Marketing Communication in Tourism

Mass tourism is a significant contributor to the development not only of regional but also national economies and generally, it is presented by tourism destination. Despite certain tendencies in preference for individual tourism, it is expected that mass tourism and mass tourism destination will continue to play a dominant role in the future. The present paper is dedicated to the topic of possible usage of modern tools of marketing communication in the management of mass tourism destination. Particular characteristics of its product are having an influence on the usage and effectiveness of traditional forms of marketing communication (advertising, exhibitions, etc.) in the presentation of a mass tourism destination and on the other hand, the possible preference of using new modern trends of marketing communication. The aim of this article is based on analysis of primary, secondary data and field observations to evaluate the possibility and critical factors of usage of selected forms of modern tools of marketing communication like internet marketing, social media, mobile marketing and the world of mouth marketing, etc. The result will be the evaluation of usage of modern marketing communication and its current state of the application in the propagation of mass tourism destinations including a proposal of some recommendations for their next application.
Fast-processing modulation strategy for the neutral-point-clamped converter with total elimination of the low-frequency voltage oscillations in the neutral point

This paper presents a novel modulation strategy for the neutral-point-clamped converter. This strategy overcomes one of the main problems of this converter, which is the low-frequency voltage oscillation that appears in the neutral point under some operating conditions. The proposed modulation strategy can completely remove this oscillation for all the operating points and for any kind of loads, even unbalanced and nonlinear loads. The algorithm is based on a carrier-based PWM. Nevertheless, it can generate the maximum output voltage amplitudes attainable under linear modulation, such as space-vector modulation. Furthermore, this technique can be implemented with a very simple algorithm, and hence can be processed very quickly. A control loop for balancing the voltages on the DC-link capacitors is also proposed. This balancing strategy is designed so that it does not increase the switching frequencies of the devices when it is applied to the converter. The proposed modulation technique is verified by simulation and experiment
Investigation on Voltage Sags Caused by DG Anti-Islanding Protection

This paper investigates the voltage sag caused by distributed generation anti-islanding protection. This is a new power-quality concern associated with distributed generation expansion. Anti-islanding protection aims to disconnect distributed generators immediately after the opening of a recloser. As a consequence, after the reclosing operation, voltage sag will occur in some parts of the distribution system, since the loads are energized immediately but the generators are no longer present. In this context, this work presents the findings on our investigations about this problem. The results show that the resulting voltage sag level can violate power-quality limits. Thus, a set of indices has been introduced to characterize the severity of the voltage sag, and a load flow-based method has been proposed to predict the phenomenon. Sensitivity studies are also conducted in order to identify some key factors that influence this type of voltage depression.
Low-Cost Weed Control Systems for Close-Row Peanuts (Arachis hypogaea)

Weed control, yield, quality, and net return in reduced-cost and standard weed control systems were studied in “Sunbelt runner’ peanuts (Arachis hypogaea L.) planted in a twin-row pattern in 1982 to 85 at Tifton, GA, and 1982 to 84 at Headland, AL. Reduced herbicide rates and/or less expensive herbicides were used to decrease weed control costs. In years and locations where weed populations were low there were no differences in weed control, crop yield, or quality. The lowest cost treatment, which included three applications of paraquat (1,1′-dimethyl-4,4′-bipyridinium ion), caused reduced weed control at both locations in 1982 and reduced yield in 1982 and 1984. None of the systems consistently resulted in the highest weed control, crop yield, or quality. A system including reduced rates of preplant-incorporated herbicides followed by two applications of paraquat performed as well as the standard system but cost about 40% less. Due to low cost and generally high yields this system resulted in consistently high net returns. Results indicate that the potential exists for reducing herbicide inputs without sacrificing yield or quality.
Placental syndromes: getting to the heart of the matter

Human placentation is uniquely associated with physiological remodeling of the spiral arteries, with deep placentation involving their almost complete transformation. Defective deep placentation has been associated with the development of pre-eclampsia (PE) and fetal growth restriction (FGR), collectively termed ‘placental syndromes’1. The clinical significance of PE and FGR and their deleterious effect on maternal, fetal and neonatal health are well accepted. This article attempts to highlight the importance of maternal hemodynamics and their relevance to placental syndromes.
Of brains and Borromean knots: A Lacanian meta-neuropsychology

ABSTRACT Meta-psychological bridges between neuroscience and psychoanalysis have focused on Freud’s structural model [Kaplan-Solms & Solms, 2002. Clinical studies in neuro-psychoanalysis: Introduction to a depth neuropsychology (2nd ed.). London: Karnac Books; Solms, 2013. The conscious id. Neuropsychoanalysis, 15(1), 5–19]. While other psychoanalytic schools have been in dialog on specific concepts, alternative full-scale meta-psychologies have received less attention. This paper maps the brain through the Lacanian triad of the real, imaginary, and symbolic. Dynamic localization of these concepts avoids neuro-structural reduction. Right and left cortical hemispheres appear necessary (but not sufficient) for imaginary and symbolic functions respectively, with the frontal lobes underlying social and self-reflective functions. The real is supported by subcortical affective and motivational structures, particularly the automatization of non-representational systems prior to hippocampal development. This project highlights the structural disjuncture (impossibility) which is constitutive of human subjectivity and brain function.
Magnetically-saturable voltage-behind-reactance synchronous machine model for EMTP-type solution

Summary form only given: A so-called voltage-behind-reactance (VBR) machine model has recently been proposed for the electro-magnetic transient programs (EMTP) as an advantageous alternative to the conventional qd and phase-domain models. This paper extends the previous research and proposes a magnetically saturable VBR synchronous machine model for EMTP-type solutions. The proposed saturable VBR model utilizes the saliency factor approach to represent main-flux saturation for the salient-pole synchronous machines with the qd axes static and dynamic cross saturation included. An efficient piecewise-linear method is used for representing the nonlinear saturation characteristic within the discretized EMTP solution. Case studies verify that the new model maintains the improved numerical accuracy in steady state and transients even with large time step.
A Theory of Pricing Private Data

Personal data has value to both its owner and to institutions who would like to analyze it. Privacy mechanisms protect the owner's data while releasing to analysts noisy versions of aggregate query results. But such strict protections of the individual's data have not yet found wide use in practice. Instead, Internet companies, for example, commonly provide free services in return for valuable sensitive information from users, which they exploit and sometimes sell to third parties. As awareness of the value of personal data increases, so has the drive to compensate the end-user for her private information. The idea of monetizing private data can improve over the narrower view of hiding private data, since it empowers individuals to control their data through financial means. In this article we propose a theoretical framework for assigning prices to noisy query answers as a function of their accuracy, and for dividing the price amongst data owners who deserve compensation for their loss of privacy. Our framework adopts and extends key principles from both differential privacy and query pricing in data markets. We identify essential properties of the pricing function and micropayments, and characterize valid solutions.
Analytical modeling of mutually coupled switched reluctance machines under saturation based on design geometry

An analytical model of the winding flux linkage is proposed for fully pitched mutual coupled switched reluctance motors (MCSRM). Basic magnetic field laws are used for the derivation phase winding fluxes of the machine. The model is not empirical and does not require any finite element analysis (FEA) data. The model only takes in the dimensions of the machine as inputs and then calculates the winding flux linkage at any current and rotor position. The model is applicable for the rotor positions where the stator and rotor poles overlap. There are some assumptions which are described initially. Then the step by step procedure of flux linkage calculation is provided. The flux linkages predicted through the model is compared with the FEA results.
Fast Computation of Designs Robust to Parameter Uncertainty for Nonlinear Settings

Experimental design in nonlinear settings is complicated by the fact that the efficiency of a design depends on the unknown parameter values. Thus good designs need to be efficient over a range of likely parameter values. Bayesian design criteria provide a natural framework for achieving such robustness, by averaging local design criteria over a prior distribution on the parameters. A major drawback to the use of such criteria is the heavy computational burden that they impose. We present a clever quadrature scheme that greatly improves the feasibility of using Bayesian design criteria. We illustrate the method on some designed experiments.
MPPC arrays in PET detectors with LSO and BGO scintillators

Presently, a majority of studies concerning application of silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs) in positron emission tomography detectors are focused on scintillators containing lanthanum (LaBr3) or lutetium (LSO, LYSO, LFS). However, the modules with the well known BGO in combination with SiPM light readout are also interesting due to unique features of SiPMs. In this work the two types of detectors, based on BGO and LSO scintillators are compared in terms of requirements for positron emission tomography scanners. The presented studies are performed with two Hamamatsu Multi Pixel Photon Counter (MPPC) arrays of 2×2 channels, with total area of 6×6 mm2 and micro-pixel size of 25 µm (S10985-025C) and 50 µm (S10985-050C). The measurements of a number of photoelectrons, energy resolution at 511 keV and 22Na time resolution are reported for various sizes of scintillators, including 3×3 mm2 pixels and single crystals covering the whole MPPC active area. The paper is more focused on optimization of the system with BGO since its performance in combination with SiPM light readout is less known. The aim of this work is to show advantages of a SiPM based detector, especially in combination with BGO, in respect to the block detectors where classic photomultipliers are used.

MOSFET Degradation due to stressing of thin oxide

Oxide and interface traps in 100Å oxide created by Fowler-Nordheim tunneling current have been investigated using capacitor C-V, I-V and transistor I-V measurements. The net oxide trapped charge is initially positive due to hole trapping near the anode interface and, at high fluence, becomes negative due to the trapping of electrons at 60Å from the injector (cathode) interface. Acceptor and donor type interface traps (surface states) peaking at 0.65eV above valence band edge were created by tunneling current from and to the substrate respectively. The interface traps cause degradations in subthreshold current slope and surface mobility. The threshold voltage shift can be either positive or negative under the combined influence of the oxide charge and the interface traps.
Trend of HIV-TB co-morbidity?in north-west region of Uttarakhand

Tuberculosis (TB) is the commonest opportunistic infection and the number one cause of death in HIV patients in developing countries. HIV co-infection is the most powerful known risk factor for progression of M. tuberculosis infection to active disease, increasing the risk of latent TB reactivation. The study was carried out to study the trend of Tuberculosis in HIV seropositive patients and determine HIV-TB co-morbidity in Dehradun, Uttarakhand. A retrospective study of standardized patient records was conducted from December 2017 to November 2018 of all HIV sero-positive patients registered to ART PLUS Centre Govt. Doon Hospital Dehradun. TB suspected patients were referred to RNTCP. Data was taken and analyzed by Microsoft Excel. Among total of 18319 HIV positive patients attending ART centre (ART and Pre- ART enrolled) during the study period, 585 patients were suspected of TB and were referred from ART to RNTCP. Total 128 (21.9%) patients were diagnosed with TB, of which 71(55.46%) patients were diagnosed for pulmonary TB and 57(44.5%) were Extra-Pulmonary TB. In our study Male predominance was seen and most of the cases were of age group 19-40 years, mostly belonging to rural areas. Keywords: HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis, Co-infection.
Transient Analysis of Grounding Systems

ments was obtained for about half of the cases considered In the remaining cases the agreement can be considered as good Even in the worst cases the difference between calculations and measure¬ ments did not exceed 5% of the total ac to de resistance ratio In conclusion, a new method for calculating the eddy current losses in magnetic pipes of pipe-type cable systems is presented The method relates the pipe losses to the geometry of the system, the current carried by the cable and the magnetic characteristic of the pipe The actual magnetization curve of the pipe is incorporated into the calculation so that the pipe permeability ¡i is no longer a free parameter of the theory, as was the case in previous methods A good agreement is obtained between the results of calculations and measurements for pipe-type cable systems of various sizes and configurations The new method can be considered as a valuable tool in cable system design
Checklist of helminth parasites of freshwater fishes from Mexico

Using published records and original data derived from my research, a checklist was generated of the helminth parasite fauna in 194 native and 18 introduced freshwater fish species from 30 families from Mexico. The checklist contains 262 nominal species, from 152 genera and 59 families of helminth parasites. It includes 37 species of adult trematodes, 52 metacercariae, 49 monogeneans, 15 adult cestodes, 22 metacestodes, 7 adult acanthocephalans, 5 cystacanths, 56 adult nematodes and 19 larval nematodes. Most of these species (150, 57%) are Neotropical, 35 (13%) are Nearctic, and 28 (11%) are either anthropogenically introduced into Mexico (21 of them), or are world-wide in their distribution (7 species). Insufficient data preclude the determination of the status of the rest of the species. Only 18 of these species are tentativelly pointed out as endemic to Mexico, although 55 species are recognized as being endemic to Mesoamerica. The data demonstrate that the helminth fauna of freshwater fish in Mexico is divided into Neotropical and Nearctic components with no apparent transition zone between them. The Nearctic fauna mainly consists of allogenic generalist species capable of invading Neotropical hosts and environments, but the Neotropical fauna, mostly autogenic and consisting of specialists to certain host families, is limited to Neotropical environments and hosts. This Neotropical fauna forms part of a Mesoamerican zone that extends from southeast Mexico along the Gulf of Mexico slope and into Central America. Fish families have typical groups of helminth species which allows the spatial distribution of helminths to follow that of their hosts. Together with their allogenic generalist characteristics, this gives this helminth fauna a broad distribution that covers Mexico’s Neotropical and Nearctic basins.
Synovitis in dogs with stable stifle joints and incipient cranial cruciate ligament rupture: a cross-sectional study.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate stifle joints of dogs for synovitis, before development of joint instability and cranial cruciate ligament rupture (CrCLR). STUDY DESIGN Cross-sectional study. ANIMALS Dogs (n = 16) with CrCLR and stable contralateral stifles; 10 control dogs with intact CrCL. METHODS Arthritis and tibial translation were graded radiographically. Synovitis severity and cruciate pathology were assessed arthroscopically. Presence of inflammatory cells in synovial membrane biopsies was scored histologically. CrCLR stifle pairs and control stifles were compared. RESULTS Radiographic evidence of arthritis, cranial tibial translation, and arthroscopic synovitis were increased in unstable stifles, when compared with stable contralateral stifles in CrCLR dogs (P < .05). Arthroscopic synovitis in both joints of CrCLR dogs was increased compared with controls, was correlated with radiographic arthritis (S(R) = 0.71, P < . 05), and was present in all stable contralateral stifles. Arthroscopically, 75% of stable stifle joints had CrCL fiber disruption, which correlated with severity of synovitis (S(R) = 0.56, P < . 05). Histologic evidence of synovitis was identified in all CrCLR dogs, but was only significantly correlated with arthroscopic observations in stable stifles (r(2) = 0.57, P < . 005). CONCLUSION Synovitis is an early feature of the CrCLR arthropathy in dogs before development of joint instability clinically. Severity of synovitis is correlated with radiographic arthritis in joints with minimal to no clinically detectable CrCL damage.
