The assessment of Picture Archiving and Communication System based on Canadian Infoway PACS Opinion Survey in Teaching Hospitals of Shiraz University of Medical Sciences

Introduction: Today the use of information technology in accordance with the rapid environmental changes and flexibility acquisition is necessary and unavoidable. Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) is one of the medical information technology used in health facilities. PACS provides the images archive and transmission possibility electronically in different units of the teaching and treatment centers. This study aimed to assess the PACS system in teaching hospitals of Shiraz University of Medical Sciences based on a survey of Canadian Infoway. Method: This descriptive cross-sectional study was performed on 53 individuals selected through Two-Stage Stratified Random Sampling. The study population consisted of 156 PACS users in Shiraz University of Medical Sciences hospitals which were equipped with the PACS system in 2015. Data were collected by the valid and reliable customized questionnaire of Canadian Infoway. The reliability was measured by a pilot study on 25 PACS users; Cronbach’s Alpha was estimated 0.78. Data were analyzed using SPSS 18. Also, frequency, mean, standard deviation were used. Results: The results are presented in three sections: environment (Background Variables), benefits and challenges of PACS. As to the system availability, 20.8% of the users in the clinic, 75.5% in the diagnostic imaging department, only 3.8% in offices had access to the PACS. As to system accessibility, 49.1% of the users just had access to tests, 5.7% only to the reports, and 45.3% to both reports and tests. With respect to benefits of PACS, the mean was 4.16 (SD: 0.5) (five-point scale 1-5) estimated, and in challenges, the mean was 3.48(SD: 0.5) (five-point scale 1-5). Conclusion: The results showed that although PACS could eliminate many restrictions concerning the use of radiology images and films, there were challenges in this regard. Users are recommended to have access to PACS in all clinics, physicians’ offices, and diagnostic imaging department. The majority of users agreed with the PACS benefits. Adequate management measures must be taken to maximize the benefits derived from this system and the utilization of information in order to improve the quality of care. Adequate training and elimination of the deficiencies could affect the use of this system and improvement in the health care services.

Comparison and analysis of transcriptome profiles of haploid and diploid Populus by digital gene expression

Haploid (HP) plants have been used for practical and basic research for many years. The development of haploid plants of Populus simonii Carr. × P. nigra L. was inhibited compared with the wild-type (diploid). In order to understand the molecular mechanisms and the genes expression characteristics, we performed gene expression profiling of the shoot tips and leaves of haploid and diploid plants using high-throughput tag-sequencing (Tag-seq) analysis, based on an Illumina Digital Gene Expression (DGE) platform. Approximately, 3.0–3.4 million total clean sequence tags with 0.09–0.1 million distinct clean tag sequences were obtained for each library. The clean tags were mapped to the reference sequences for annotation of expressed genes. About 53.93–56.64% of the distinct clean tags were mapped to the reference genes. Differentially expressed genes between haploid shoot tip library and diploid shoot tip library and differentially expressed genes between haploid leaf library and diploid leaf library were identified (4464 and 3856, respectively). The differentially expressed genes were annotated using Gene Ontology and the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes orthology identifiers, which revealed that the differentially expressed genes were mainly annotated to cell compartments, especially the plastid and chloroplast, and were enriched in binding and catalytic activity and metabolic process. Orthology analysis revealed that the differentially expressed genes were mainly involved in plant hormone signaling and biosynthesis, and were generally downregulated, such as the cytokinins isopentenyl transferase. Some genes related to the cell cycle were differentially expressed in the haploid. We concluded that the reduced level of hormones in the haploid plants mainly contribute to the inhibited development phenotype by changing the expression of genes involved in the cell cycle.
Delay in solar energetic particle onsets at high heliographic latitudes

Ulysses observations have shown that solar energetic particles (SEPs) can easily reach high heliographic latitudes. To obtain information on the release and propagation of SEPs prior to their arrival at Ulysses, we analyse the onsets of nine large high-latitude particle events. We measure the onset times in several energy channels, and plot them versus inverse particle speed. This allows us to derive an experimental path length and time of release from the solar atmosphere. We repeat the procedure for near-Earth observations by Wind and SOHO. We find that the derived path lengths at Ulysses are 1.06 to 2.45 times the length of a Parker spiral magnetic field line connecting the spacecraft to the Sun. The time of particle release from the Sun is between 100 and 350 min later than the release time derived from in-ecliptic measurements. We find no evidence of correlation between the delay in release and the inverse of the speed of the CME associated with the event, or the inverse of the speed of the corresponding interplanetary shock. The main parameter determining the magnitude of the delay appears to be the difference in latitude between the flare and the footpoint of the spacecraft.
Effect of Earnings Per Shares on Capital Structure Choice of Listed Non-Financial Firms in Nigeria

The main objective of this paper is to examine the effect of financial performance on capital structure of listed non-financial firms in Nigeria. This was guided by assessing the earnings per share on capital structure choice. The causal research design was adopted while a total of 87 samples was included in the study. The estimated results are statistically significant at all levels of Capital Structure. Based on the significance of these results it was concluded that both the efficiency risk and franchise value hypotheses of the reverse causality hypothesis are observable in the capital structure choice of the firms.
Low-frequency magnetic field fluctuations in Venus' solar wind interaction region: Venus Express observations

We investigate wave properties of low-frequency magnetic field fluctuations in Venus' solar wind interaction region based on the measurements made on board the Venus Express spacecraft. The orbit geometry is very suitable to investigate the fluctuations in Venus' low-altitude magnetosheath and mid-magnetotail and provides an opportunity for a comparative study of low-frequency waves at Venus and Mars. The spatial distributions of the wave properties, in particular in the dayside and nightside magnetosheath as well as in the tail and mantle region, are similar to observations at Mars. As both planets do not have a global magnetic field, the interaction process of the solar wind with both planets is similar and leads to similar instabilities and wave structures. We focus on the spatial distribution of the wave intensity of the fluctuating magnetic field and detect an enhancement of the intensity in the dayside magnetosheath and a strong decrease towards the terminator. For a detailed investigation of the intensity distribution we adopt an analytical streamline model to describe the plasma flow around Venus. This allows displaying the evolution of the intensity along different streamlines. It is assumed that the waves are generated in the vicinity of the bow shock and are convected downstream with the turbulent magnetosheath flow. However, neither the different Mach numbers upstream and downstream of the bow shock, nor the variation of the cross sectional area and the flow velocity along the streamlines play probably an important role in order to explain the observed concentration of wave intensity in the dayside magnetosheath and the decay towards the nightside magnetosheath. But, the concept of freely evolving or decaying turbulence is in good qualitative agreement with the observations, as we observe a power law decay of the intensity along the streamlines. The observations support the assumption of wave convection through the magnetosheath, but reveal at the same time that wave sources may not only exist at the bow shock, but also in the magnetosheath.
Prevalence of Listeria species in raw milk in Esfahan Province, Iran

is a major concern for the food industry, as it can cause listeriosis in humans (Kathariou 2002). Listeriosis is one of the most important infections in Europe (European Food Safety Authority-European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control, 2007) and United States (Scallan et al., 2011). Exposure to food borne
The Derivation and Study of the Nonlinear Schr¨ odinger Equation for Long Waves in Shallow Water Using the Reductive Perturbation and Complex Ansatz Methods

In this paper, the water wave flow problem for an incompressible and inviscid fluid of constant depth is studied under the influence of acceleration of gravity and surface tension. The nonlinear Schr¨ (NLS) equation and the dispersion relation are derived from the nonlinear shallow water equations by using the reductive perturbation technique, which differs from the derivations of the same problem illustrated in previous works. The complex ansatz method is presented for constructing exact traveling wave solutions of NLS equation and from them the physical variables of the water wave problem are obtained. Depending on the Ursell parameter, the diagrams are drawn to illustrate the behavior of the solutions of NLS equation, free surface elevation and velocity of the model. The results indicate that the solutions of this problem are in the form of envelope traveling solitary waves where the Ursell parameter affects the wave profile significantly. It is concluded the chosen methods of solutions are sufficiently accurate to demonstrate that the conservation of power is satisfied except at very few spots where it fluctuates about zero by the orders of 10 −14 − 10 −18 depending on the values of the Ursell parameter.
Human Motivational Behavior: From West and Islamic Perspective

This article discusses on human motivational behavior from the perspective of western and Islam. According to some Western psychologists, the aspects of physiology, biology, psychosocial, biosociopsychology are among the factors that drive the behavior of human, while according to Islam, the needs of body and soul as basic of human creation have implications for human behavior. By adopting documentation method and comparative analysis, this article found that human behavior motivated by the needs of the body and the spirit, which comprises elements of al-nafs (soul), al-qalb (heart), al-bashirah (the mind’s eye view), and common sense proposition that was proven through naqli. There are similarities and differences of West and Islamic view related to psychological impulses of human behavior. DOI: 10.5901/mjss.2016. v7n3s1p106
Indicators of Relatedness in Adolescent Male Groups: Toward a Qualitative Description.

Self-determination theorists (SDT) argue that the satisfaction of the need for relatedness is essential for growth and well-being. However, the current research has yet to account for the unique ways in which adolescent males engage in behaviors to fulfill their need for relatedness within their peer groups. This qualitative study investigates relatedness in six 16- to 17-year-old adolescent males. Independent observations of videotape data and a collaborative analysis revealed 13 main indicators of moment-to-moment relatedness. These indicators include expressing belonging, referring to shared experiences, and helping others out. The indicators of relatedness are discussed in the context of SDT, and additional theoretical frameworks provide an integrative understanding of the construct. Implications for research on the need for relatedness across diverse settings and populations are discussed and the utility of the indicators for professionals who work with adolescent males is considered. Key Words: Adolescence, Males, Relatedness, Groups, Qualitative Description. Adolescence is a period of growth and transition during which key developmental tasks are ideally achieved. In particular, adolescents are faced with the challenges of engaging in self-exploration and constructing a cohesive identity while maintaining their connections to significant others, sustaining their engagement and motivation for academic tasks, and engaging in vocational exploration (Field, Hoffman, & Posch, 1997). To successfully negotiate these developmental challenges, adolescents require the support of significant others as they get to know themselves and the world around them. While the significance of close relationships during adolescence is well documented (e.g., Barry & Wentzel, 2006), less is known about the unique ways in which adolescent males experience and demonstrate feelings of relatedness vis-a-vis their fellow peers.
Genetic Assessment of Moroccan Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) Genotypes by RAPD and SSR Markers

For the first time eight local tomato cultivars collected from four different regions of Morocco were assessed with RAPD and SSR methods. Most of RAPD markers give monomorphic banding profiles. Only OPU03 marker showed a total of 4 polymorphic amplicons out of 8 recorded in FIGUIG2 cultivar. The analysis with SSR markers gives more polymorphism. The number of alleles amplified assessed from 2 to 5 alleles among cultivars. The similarity matrix subjected by the unweighted pairgroup arithmetic method (UPGMA) clustering grouped the cultivars in four groups where FIGUIG2 cultivar formed a separate and more distant cluster. In addition this cultivar holds the very high percentage of uniformity (99%) indicating that is an homogeneous traditional cultivar with high purity. This genotype can be conserved and used in breeding programs. More traditional Moroccan cultivars must be collected in order to determine their genetic structure.
A Historical Perspective on the International Evidence for Long-Term Reversals

This paper reexamines the international long-term reversal evidence. Using a longer time horizon and expanding the number of country indices, it is shown that long-term reversals results differ across methodology, start date, and time horizon. Due to the fact that the major international equity data sets start around the same time, a small period of years accounts for the strong long-term contrarian profits documented in the international literature. More importantly, the long-term contrarian profits do not survive when transaction costs are considered. A final implication of this research is that the international tests based on US-dollar denominated data may not capture the experience of the marginal investor.
Taxonomic revision of the genus Galictis (Carnivora: Mustelidae): species delimitation, morphological diagnosis, and refined mapping of geographical distribution

Although critical for enabling in-depth evolutionary, ecological, or conservation-orientated studies, taxonomic knowledge is still scarce for many groups of organisms, including mammals of the order Carnivora. For some of these taxa, even basic aspects such as species limits and geographical distribution are still uncertain. This is the case for the Neotropical mustelid genus Galictis, considered one of the least studied carnivoran genera in the Americas. To address this issue, we performed a comprehensive assessment of morphological and molecular characters to test the number of species within Galictis, and to characterize their distinctiveness and evolutionary history. In addition, we reviewed and consolidated the available information on the taxonomy of this genus, so as to provide a historical framework upon which we could interpret our data. Our analyses demonstrated that two Galictis species can be clearly delimited and diagnosed using metric and nonmetric morphological characters as well as DNA sequences from mitochondrial and nuclear gene segments. On the basis of this clarified species-level delimitation, we reassessed the geographical range of each Galictis taxon, identifying possible areas of sympatry between them. These results provide a solid taxonomic framework for Galictis, enabling the development of additional studies focusing on this poorly known taxon. © 2013 The Linnean Society of London, Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society, 2013, 167, 449–472.
Surface modification of polypropylene nonwoven with composite metallic layers

Polymer fibres have the great potential for application due to their large surface area relative to volume, incomparably large length relative to the cross-section, high strength and ease of forming the nonwovens in thermal processing. Due to the specific properties of textiles, they are applied, among others in the manufacture of filters, sensors, biomedical devices and protective clothing. This study was aimed to evaluate the surface morphology of polypropylene nonwoven modified with metallic layers CuSn, CuZnNi, NiCuFe, deposited by the magnetron sputtering technique. There was also carried out a qualitative and quantitative analysis of deposited thin layers and their compositions were compared with compositions of targets used for magnetrons. The surface morphology was tested using the metallographic optical microscope with a CF160 optical system and the scanning electron microscope adapted to work in an environmental mode. A study of composition was based on a microanalysis using the energy dispersive X-ray radiation deriving from the excited atoms (EDS).
Linguistic Issues in Language Technology – LiLT Predicting and Using a Pragmatic Component of Lexical Aspect of Simple Past Verbal Tenses for Improving English-to-French Machine Translation

This paper proposes a method for improving the results of a statistical Machine Translation system using boundedness, a pragmatic component of the verbal phrase’s lexical aspect. First, the paper presents manual and automatic annotation experiments for lexical aspect in EnglishFrench parallel corpora. It will be shown that this aspectual property is identified and classified with ease both by humans and by automatic systems. Second, Statistical Machine Translation experiments using the boundedness annotations are presented. These experiments show that the information regarding lexical aspect is useful to improve the output of a Machine Translation system in terms of better choices of verbal tenses in the target language, as well as better lexical choices. Ultimately, this work aims at providing a method for the automatic annotation of data with boundedness information and at contributing to Machine Translation by taking into account linguistic data. 1 LiLT Volume 13, Issue 3, August 2016.

Linking University Students’ Willingness to Learn to Their Recollections of Motivation at Secondary School

This study investigated the role of recollected school-based motivation on university students’ willingness to use new learning opportunities. Following Eccles’ expectancy-value theory, willingness to learn was conceptualized as task value, which has been found to predict task choice in previous empirical studies. Based on three motivational theories, we suggest two broad motivational dimensions for an economic description of motivational orientations, inward and outward , that should differentially predict the formation of task value. German university students ( N = 1580) were asked about their task value for receiving their instructions in English as a foreign language at university and, retrospectively, their motivation in English language class at secondary school. Principal components analysis and confirmatory factor analyses of motivational variables yielded a two-factor solution supporting the differentiation between inward and outward motivational orientation. Inward motivational orientation at school was positively linked to students’ task value in adulthood, even if the individual’s self-concept of ability was controlled. The effects of outward motivation were rather small and tended to be counterproductive. Our findings suggest a complex interplay between past and present motivation and self-concept of ability underlying one’s willingness to learn and to participate in education.
Work–Family Boundary Management Profiles in Two Finnish Samples : A Person-oriented Approach

Background: The present study aims to identify different work-family boundary management profiles among Finnish employees, and examine how these relate to conflict between work and family or their mutual enrichment. Method: Participants from two samples, one consisting of university staff (n1 = 1,139) and another of nurses (n2 = 271), were asked to respond to an online survey concerning work-family boundary management, work-to-family enrichment, and work-to-family conflict scales. Results: A cluster analysis identified three profiles in both samples: segmentors, integrators and favoring family over work in the university sample, and segmentors, integrators and favoring work over family in the nurse sample. In both samples integrators experienced a higher level of work-to-family enrichment and a lower level of work-to-family conflict in comparison to segmentors. Conclusion: Individuals with a tendency to integrate work and family domains experience higher work to family enrichment and lower work to family conflict compared to those who separate work and family domains.
Parent Involvement and School Responsiveness: Facilitating the Home–School Connection in Schools of Choice

School choice advocates maintain that parents who choose their schools will be involved. This study asks: (a) What are the characteristics of families who prefer different types of choice arrangements and what are their reasons for choosing? (b) How are parents involved in their children’s education under different types of choice arrangements? (c) How do schools respond to parents under different types of choice arrangements? Findings reveal that religion, income, and ethnicity are important in understanding parents’ reasons for school choice and that school type is a major factor in understanding the relationships between parent involvement and school responsiveness.
Dielectric Sensing with Back-Gated Nanowires

National Institute for Research and Development in Microtechnologies-IMT,126A, Erou Iancu Nicolae Street, 077190, Bucharest, ROMANIA(Dated: April 23, 2015)Extensive numerical calculations show that the capacitance of back-gated nanowires with variousdegrees of dielectric embeddings is accurately described with an e ective dielectric constant as longas the di erence between the dielectric thickness and the gate-nanowire distance is held constant.This is valid for dielectrics with permittivities ranging from simple air to water. However, due toscreening the scaling is not valid if the dielectric lies down well below the nanowire. Moreover, whenonly the dielectric thickness varies the capacitance characteristics are S-shaped with three distinctregions, of which only the rst two can be used for dielectric sensing. The rst region is almostlinear while the middle region, with a span of two diameters around the center of the nanowire, isthe most sensitive.
