Health Expenditures, Institutional Quality and Economic Growth

The study aims to determine the effect of health expenditures on economic growth while taking into account the quality of health institutions, keeping in view the fact that it’s not just the level, rather quality of expenditures or institutions that matters. Our hypothesis was where institutions are better health investment in health brings more economic growth as compared to those with low quality institutions. To attain that objective the standard neoclassical Solow Growth Model at steady-state level was taken as theoretical framework and made a production function adding institutional quality proxied by government effectiveness along with other variables like health expenditure, primary education completion rate, population growth etc. For estimation purposes, data for the sample of 20 South, East Asian and Pacific developing countries was used for the period 1995-2017. It was found that if health expenditures adjusted for the quality of government expenditures increase by 100%, then the economic growth will increase by 5%.
Error modeling, sensitivity analysis and assembly process of a class of 3-DOF parallel kinematic machines with parallelogram struts

This paper presents an error modeling methodology that enables the tolerance design, assembly and kinematic calibration of a class of 3-DOF parallel kinematic machines with parallelogram struts to be integrated into a unified framework. The error mapping function is formulated to identify the source errors affecting the uncompensable pose error. The sensitivity analysis in the sense of statistics is also carried out to investigate the influences of source errors on the pose accuracy. An assembly process that can effectively minimize the uncompensable pose error is proposed as one of the results of this investigation.
Toward an Understanding of Preservice English as a Foreign Language Teachers’ Acceptance of Computer-Assisted Language Learning 2.0 in the People’s Republic of China

Despite the rapid proliferation of information and communication technologies, there exists a paucity of empirical research on the causes of the current low acceptance of computer-assisted language learning (CALL) by English as a foreign language (EFL) teachers in the People’s Republic of China (PRC). This study aims to remedy this situation through the identification of factors influencing preservice EFL teachers’ intention to adopt Web 2.0 technologies for language learning purposes in the PRC. Based on the technology acceptance model and the technological pedagogical content knowledge model, a hypothesized seven-factor model was tested via structural equation modeling with data obtained from 295 preservice EFL teachers in the PRC. The results revealed that intention to use CALL 2.0 was predicted most strongly by facilitating conditions. This finding can help stakeholders to make informed decisions about various aspects of facilitating conditions to effectively enhance preservice EFL teachers’ acceptance of CALL 2.0 in the PRC.
Wavelet analysis of nonstationary circadian time series

Rhythmic data are ubiquitous in the life sciences, with biologists needing reliable statistical tools for the analysis of such data. When these signals display rhythmic yet nonstationary behaviour, common in many biological systems, the established methodologies are often misleading. Chapter 2 develops and tests a new method for clustering nonstationary rhythmic biological data. The method combines locally stationary wavelet time series modelling with functional principal components analysis and thus extracts time—scale patterns useful for identifying common characteristics. We demonstrate the advantages of our methodology over alternative approaches by means of a simulation study and for real circadian data applications. Motivated by three complementary applications in circadian biology, Chapter 3 develops new reliable statistical tests to identify whether a particular experimental treatment has caused a significant change in a rhythmic signal that displays nonstationary characteristics. As circadian behaviour is best understood in the spectral domain, we develop novel hypothesis testing procedures in the (wavelet) spectral domain, which facilitate the identification of three specific types of spectral difference. We demonstrate the advantages of our methodology over alternative approaches by means of a comprehensive simulation study and for real data applications, involving both plant and animal signals. Chapter 4 investigates the effect of industrial and agricultural pollutants on the plant circadian clock. We examine the impact of exposure to a comprehensive range of environmentally relevant pollutants by utilising the methodologies developed in Chapters 2 and 3. Our findings indicate that many of the tested chemicals have an effect on the plant circadian clock, most of which would have remained undetected by classical methods overlooking nonstationarity. The results of Chapter 4 demonstrate the additional insight gained by using the appropriate methodologies, as developed in Chapters 2 and 3, and also have important implications for understanding environmental ramifications associated with soil pollution.

Learning environments and the use of vocabulary learning strategies : a case study of Chinese learners

This paper reports a survey study of how Chinese students use strategies when learning second language vocabulary. The focus of the study is on the effect of learning environments (EFL vs. ESL) on the use of vocabulary learning strategies. The subjects are Chinese secondary school students learning English in China (EFL context) and in Singapore (ESL context). The questionnaire used in the survey was a modified version of Gu and Johnson (1996). 450 secondary school students, aged from 16 to 19, from two secondary schools in Harbin, China, and one boarding school in Singapore participated in the survey. The profile of the students’ learning beliefs, sources and strategies was examined in relation to their learning environments. The t-test results showed that learning environment was significant factors in affecting vocabulary learning beliefs, sources and strategy use. The findings suggest that language environments can influence individuals’ vocabulary learning profile. Thus, the combined effects of the teaching emphasis and the amount of exposure to the target language in and out of the classroom should be considered closely in order to understand the strategy choice of Chinese EFL and ESL learners.

ReligiositySpirituality (RS) in the Clinical Context: Professional Experiences of Psychotherapists

Although the scientifi c production on religiosity/spirituality (R/S) is increasing, notably from their connection with the health dimension, this theme is practically absent in Psychology training. The objective of this study was to learn the professional reality of psychotherapists regarding their clinical experiences and the R/S dimension. Twenty-four professionals from two cities in the states of São Paulo and Minas Gerais, Brazil, with an average psychotherapy experience of 10.54 years, were interviewed individually. The interviews were transcribed in full and analyzed from the R/S literature. Such a dimension is evoked as relevant for all psychotherapists, although it has not been suffi ciently addressed in their training. The exploration of R/S stems from client demands and presents at times as an important resource for intervention, while in other times hinders the development of many conditions. The recent proposals of the Psychology Councils regarding R/S are unknown by the professionals, suggesting the need for greater dialog and also the presence of such discussions in Psychology training.

GUIDED INQUIRY MODEL THROUGH VIRTUAL LABORATORY TO ENHANCE STUDENTS' SCIENCE PROCESS SKILLS ON HEAT CONCEPT

Science process skills are one of the indicators to know the level of achievement of physics teaching goals. This research examines the influence of guided inquiry models through virtual laboratories on students' science process skills. The research was a quasi-experiment conducted at the senior high school in Mataram, Lombok. The samples were class XI students, as many as 58 people divided into two sample groups: experimental and control groups. The guided inquiry model through the virtual laboratory was applied to the experimental group and the conventional model for the control group. The instrument used was a performance sheet. A t-test was used to analyze the effect of learning model on science process skill. The results of this study found that the achievement of science process skills for the experimental group was higher than the control group. The guided inquiry models through virtual laboratory have a significant effect on science process skills, especially on skills: hypothesizing, practicing, and communicating. These findings contribute significantly to the current knowledge about the effectiveness of guided inquiry models through virtual laboratories to improve students' science process skills in physics teaching.
Do Idiosyncratic Jumps Matter?

We show that idiosyncratic jumps are a key determinant of mean stock returns from both an ex post and ex ante perspective. Ex post, the entire annual average return of a typical stock accrues on the four days on which its price jumps. Ex ante, idiosyncratic jump risk earns a premium: a value-weighted weekly long-short portfolio that buys (sells) stocks with high (low) predicted jump probabilities earns annualized mean returns of 9.4% and four-factor alphas of 8.1%. This strategy’s returns are larger when there are greater limits to arbitrage. These results are consistent with investor aversion to idiosyncratic jump risk.
Classification of Fault Clearing Strategies for HVDC Grids

This paper defines and classifies fault clearing strategies for HVDC grid protection, based on the method of fault current interruption. HVDC grid protection must act on a much shorter timescale than AC grid protection and faces the challenge to interrupt fast rising fault currents without natural zero crossings. Conversely, the HVDC grid protection equipment, such as HVDC breakers or converters with fault blocking capability, offers several degrees of freedom for fault clearing strategies for HVDC grid protection. However, each of these strategies fulfils different objectives and imposes different requirements on HVDC grid components. Therefore, a classification of fault clearing strategies is needed. In this paper, the objectives and requirements for HVDC grid protection are described. Furthermore, constraints on HVDC grid protection are given. Available methods for fault current interruption and protective relaying algorithms are briefly reviewed. Different classes of fault clearing strategies are defined and the options for fault current interruption and protective relaying algorithm for each strategy are given.
MIGRATION AND SOCIOCONOMIC EFFECTIVENESS OF RUSSIA’S NORTHERN REGIONS

Features of population settlement on the North of Russia are highlighted in this article. The determining role of the North for Russia’s national economy is explained, however, it is also accompanied by the growth of various socioeconomic problems in the recent years, including those directly related to depopulation. Population settlement has been considered by the authors from two interrelated positions: as the process of settling on a certain territory in the course of migration and as the final result of this process - the resettlement in various regions and zones. The article reveals the major contradictions in the development of Russia’s northern territories at the present stage of their socioeconomic development. On the basis of the authors’ own methodology the demographic indicators of Russia’s Northern territories were compared with the average Russian ones. Then, it has been estimated how peculiar is the management of the Northern territories in comparison with other Russia’s regions. According to the results of our research, directions in the migration and population settlement management have been proposed. Taking these directions into account will contribute to ensuring the socioeconomic efficiency of Russia’s Northern regions.
Comparison of fine-grained and coarse-grained parallel models in particle swarm optimization algorithm

Many optimization problems are generally complex and required to be solved in parallel architectures due to their computational costs. The main issue about the parallelism is that the parallel architectures may affect the performance because the original models are constructed based upon the sequential architectures. Therefore, the parallelization approaches should consider the efficiency in addition to reducing computational cost. The objective of this paper is two-fold. First goal is presenting a parallelization approaches and investigating the performance efficiency of the parallel models. Second purpose is implementing the models in parallel programming environments and examining the time efficiency. In this study, two parallel models are developed for Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm: fine-grained and coarse-grained models. The models are tested on some benchmark problems. Results demonstrate that the parallel models considered can be efficiently used for improving both performance and speed-up.
