CONTROLLING COACHES' BEHAVIOUR, PSYCHOLOGICAL NEED THWARTING, MOTIVATION AND RESULTS OF THE VOLLEYBALL COMPETITIONS

The aim of the study was to adapt and validate an Estonian version of the Sport Motivation Scale (SMS-II) [21], the Psychological Need Thwarting Scale (PNTS) [5] and Controlling Coach Behaviours Scale (CCBS) [6] in girls’ volleyball domain. SMS-II, CCBS and PNTS were assessed in 298 (U-20 42%, U-16 58%) volleyball girls from several clubs who took part in U-16 and U-20 Estonian Volleyball Federation Cup in 2015. After modifying the SMS-II, CCBS and PNTS questionnaire, all reliability demonstrated good content. In the top ranking list of the competitions the teams from one to six formed the winner group and six from bottom formed loser group. The older athletes of the winner group (U-20) were more externally motivated and perceived their coaches using more excessive personal control, negative conditional regard than the group of losers. The younger athletes of the winner group (U-16) were less autonomously motivated and perceived their coaches using more negative conditional regard and thwarting need of the competence than the group of losers. The findings of this study showed that youth athletes who are winners or losers perceive their coaches’ behavior differently.
TEACHERS’ STRATEGY IN IMPLEMENTING ENGLISH CURRICULUM IN A JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL IN INDONESIA

Abstract: This study is a part of a bigger study investigating teachers’ personal theories (beliefs) regarding English teaching and learning. Involving forty-two English teachers of fifteen Junior High Schools in the city of Sukabumi, West Java, this cross-sectional survey study used data gained from an open-ended questionnaire. A total of 3696 raw data items were gathered and analyzed both qualitatively and quantitatively. Relevant findings regarding the implementation of the curriculum in the daily process of English teaching and learning show that there are gaps between the mandated curriculum as stipulated by the government and the implemented curriculum at the classroom level. This departure from the mandated curriculum, in turn, diverts the course of curriculum implementation and leads to a level of accomplishment of the main goals of the English teaching and learning, which is different from what is stated in the mandated curriculum.
Production mechanism of C2-C4 hydrocarbons in seawater: Field measurements and experiments

The production mechanism of light nonmethane hydrocarbons (NMHC) in seawater was investigated during the North Atlantic atmospheric chemistry program (NATAC) in April and May 1991 in the European coastal seas and the North Atlantic. A significant alkene production occurred in the presence of light only. Under conditions of negligible NMHC emissions (low wind velocity) increasing hydrocarbon concentrations were observed during daytime, whereas the concentrations remained constant during night. NMHC formation experiments were carried out with seawater filled in quartz glass bottles and showed the same dependence of light. Experiments with differently pretreated seawater samples indicated that the presence of dissolved organic material (DOM) is also necessary for alkene production. We suggest a two-step production mechanism for alkenes: first DOM is released, probably from algae, then part of this material is photochemically transformed into alkenes. The production rates in the quartz glass bottles were comparable to the production rates in the ocean surface. This indicates that the processes occurring in the experimental setups represent the processes occurring in the field. Since the production - and emission rates were in the same range it can be concluded that the budget of light alkenes in the remote marine environment is determined by the production in seawater as the dominant source and the flux into the atmosphere as the main loss process.
Determination of partial factors for the verification of the bearing capacity of shallow foundations under open channels

The limit state design method has been introduced into the design criteria for geotechnical structures. The current paper attempts to apply the reliability-based design method, at Level II, to the bearing capacity of the foundations of open channels from the viewpoint of the limit state design. To examine the applicability of the proposed procedure for practical structures, the reliability index is computed for evaluating the stability of the foundations of existing open channels designed by the conventional method. The conventional design procedure makes excessively safe side design. We applied the FORM to the existing open channels designed by the conventional design procedure, and consequently, large values of reliability index, 3 and 5 were obtained for clayey and sandy soils, respectively. Finally, the partial factors for the soil parameters have been determined, corresponding to the target reliability indices β t =1, 3 and 4.
Evaluation of a Cardiac Home Care Program

EVALUATION OF A CARDIAC HOME CARE PROGRAM By Donna Mayo-Rosa The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a cardiac home care program in promoting self-care through supportive-educative nursing. Orem's self-care model served as the conceptual model for this study. Self-care was measured in this study by evaluating the patient's level of cardiac knowledge and functional ability. This study was conducted at a home care agency in Midwest Michigan. A convenience sample of seven was obtained from patients admitted to a cardiac home care program following coronary artery bypass grafting surgery (CABO). A descriptive design with a one group paired t test was used to analyze the differences between the patient’s knowledge score and dependence score on a pretest and posttest. A statistical significant improvement in the patient's knowledge level (p= .002) was demonstrated. The improvement in patients' functional status at the time of discharge from home care was also statistical significant (p=0.000). The results of this study support the role that home care plays in providing supportiveeducative care and promoting self-care in the recovery period post CABG surgery.
As Rare as a Panda': How Facial Attractiveness, Gender, and Occupation Affect Interview Callbacks at Chinese Firms

This study explores how both gender and facial attractiveness affect job candidates' chances of obtaining interviews in China's dynamic Internet job board labor market. It examines how discrimination based on these attributes varies over occupation, location, and firms' ownership type and size. We employ a resume (correspondence) audit methodology. We establish the facial attractiveness of candidate photos via an online survey. 24,192 applications are submitted to 12,096 job postings across four occupations in 6 Chinese cities. We find sizable differences in the interview callback rates of attractive and unattractive job candidates. Job candidates with unattractive faces need to put in 33% more applications than their attractive counterparts to obtain the same number of interview callbacks. Women are preferred to men in three of our four occupations. Women on average need to put in only 91% as many applications as men to obtain the same number of interview callbacks.
What integration schools of immigrant students do: indicators for good practices

Immigration is a phenomenon which has changed the social scene of all over the countries and has increased alongside a world becoming even more global. These social changes have generated new challenges in educational sphere focused on the integration of immigrant students and the intercultural education. The purpose of this study is to investigate the elements of educational attention to immigrant students defined in hosting policies for this group pertaining to educational institutions and national/international reference authors. To do this and based on a theoretical framework, the following phases in the development of research are addressed in the research: pre-analysis of documents, content analysis with Atlas.ti 7 through categories and indicators of good practices on what schools should do to integrate immigrant students (education access, family care, school choice, intercultural education, educational services, intercultural curriculum, researches on behalf of the integration which prevent from the school dropout rate increases), results and conclusions, to systematize and to group actions in a way that any “inclusive” school should/could implement them making easier any self-assessment integration program in these schools.
Leisure and effort at work: incorporating self-employment into urban markets

In this paper, we study self-employment in a theoretical setting derived from urban efficiency wages spatial models, where leisure and effort at work are complementary. Our model shows that unemployment tends to concentrate far from business districts, in contrast to employment and self-employment. The self-employed tend to live closer to workplaces than do the employed, as commuting has relatively negative effects, given that it affects productivity and thus earnings. We use data from the American Time Use Survey 2003-2014 to analyze the spatial distribution of self-employment, employment, and unemployment across metropolitan areas in the US, focusing on the relationship between commuting time and the probability of employment and self-employment. Our results show that employment and self-employment are negatively related to commuting, in comparison to unemployment, while self-employment is associated with shorter commutes, in contrast to those of employees, giving support to the theoretical background.
Kelvin-Helmholtz billows and their effects on mean state during gravity wave propagation

The Kelvin-Helmholtz (KH) billows which ap- pear in the process of gravity wave (GW) propagation are simulated directly by using a compressible nonlinear two- dimensional gravity wave model. The differences between our model and others include: the background field has no special initial configuration and there is no initial trigger- ing mechanism needed in the mesosphere and lower ther- mosphere (MLT) region to excite the KH billows. How- ever, the initial triggering mechanism is performed in the lower atmosphere through GW, which then propagate into the MLT region and form billows. The braid structures and overturning of KH billows, caused by nonlinear interactions between GWs and mean flow, can be resolved precisely by the model. These results support the findings in airglow stud- ies that GWs propagating from below into the MLT region are important sources of KH billows. The onset of small scale waves and the wave energy transfer induce the shal- lower vertical wave number power spectral densities (PSD). However, most of the slopes are steeper than the expected k 3 z power law, which indicates that GWs with 10 km verti- cal wavelength are still a dominant mode. The results also show that the evolution of mean wind vary substantially be- tween the different processes of GWs propagation. Before the KH billows evolve, the mean wind is accelerated greatly by GWs. By contrast, as the KH billows evolve and mix with mean flow, the mean wind and its peak value decrease.
The impact of yield management

This article discusses how to increase profits in the hotel industry. In particular, I focus on the way to allocate rooms to distinct types of customers at a different price. A modern approach to do so is to “protect” rooms for premium customers with the so-called yield management, a dynamic pricing approach to adjust allocation among segments, according to the demand. After having discussed this and the other forms of price discrimination, I examine simple heuristics to implement yield management when two or three different segments of customers are present. Finally, I show empirically and theoretically a novel way to determine an appropriate level of overbooking when a proportion of customers systematically deletes the reservation.
Evaluation of Methods for Cyanobacterial Cell Lysis and Toxin (Microcystin-LR) Extraction Using Chromatographic and Mass Spectrometric Analyses

Contamination of microcystins, a family of heptapeptide hepatotoxins, in eutrophic water bodies is a worldwide problem. Due to their poisoning effects on animals and humans, there is a requirement to characterize and quantify all microcystins present in a sample. As microcystins are, for most part, intracellular toxins produced by some genera of cyanobacteria, lysing cyanobacterial cells to release all microcystins is considered an important step. To date, although many cell lysis methods have been used, little work has been conducted comparing the results of those different methods. In this study, various methods for cell lysis and toxin extraction from the cell lysates were investigated, including sonication, bead beating, freeze/thaw, lyophilization and lysing with TritonX-100 surfactant. It was found that lyophilization, followed by extraction with 75% methanol, was the most effective for extracting toxins from Microcystis aeruginosa cells. Another important step prior to the analysis is removing impurities and concentrating the target analyte. For these purposes, a C18 Sep-Pak solid phase extraction cartridge was used, with the percentage of the eluent methanol also evaluated. As a result, methanol percentages higher than 75% appeared to be the best eluting solvent in terms of microcystin-leucine-arginine recovery efficiency for the further chromatographic and mass spectrometric analyses.
CONFERENCIA MAGISTRAL THE CONCEPT OF MELANCHOLIA AND ANTIDEPRESSANT TREATMENT

Why have we on this occasion chosen this particular topic? At first glance it does not seem too interesting, as among psychiatrists, clinical psychopharmacologists and other highly ranged scientists who work with molecular biology, there appears to be a firm conviction that the introduction of DSM-III (1) in 1980 presented a major innovation in clinical psychiatry, which put an end to the insecurity and disagreement found before 1980 regarding the diagnostics and classifications of depressive disorders. It is correct that the introduction of DSM-III was a paradigmatic change from nosological to syndromatical diagnostics and classifications. It is also correct that the previous classifications of depressive disorders were based on prototypical descriptions of the illness with unknown, but presumed aetiologies, with ill-defined boundaries and low reliability, which was suggested to impede the quality of research and of clinical psychiatry (2). In this context, DSM-III introduced a purely descriptive non-aetiological classification with operationally defined categories based on diagnostic criteria with proven high reliability. DSM-III became an immediate success both in research settings and in clinical psychiatry. Its use spread all over the world in the decade following its introduction, with DSM-IV (3) and ICD-10 (4) taking over in 1994. Little attention, however, was focussed on validity of the classification systems. In other words, did this mean that these classification systems for example in randomized clinical trials (RCT) with antidepressants included the correct patients in the efficacy studies? Or was it still necessary to use both qualitative diagnostic rating scales as well as quantitative rating scales, the latter to be able to classify the severity of depression? Did we have to abandon the schooled aetiological and biological way of thinking, presented by Kraepelin in 1899, by his introduction of the concept of “endogenous depression”? (5). The debate during the recent years shows that this is not the case. More and more data show us that tricyclic antidepressants compared with, for example, SSRIs have a significantly better effect in the treatment of severe depressions and recent studies question whether placebo controlled studies show that SSRIs are more effective than placebo (6-15). Consequently, the credibility of the randomized controlled studies is challenged. But it is all clear that we cannot overlook the existence of subtypes of depression, such as endogenous depression or melancholia and moderate to severe depressions (16, 17), which are not specifically mentioned in most of the RCT-studies. The significance of these problems regarding treatment of depressive patients in the year 2003 is unknown (17). Hence, in the following we have chosen to make a historical review with special focus on the concept of melancholia and antidepressant treatment, thereby trying to enlighten whether the present debate has roots all the way back to the past.

Destruction of urban green spaces: A problem beyond urbanization in Kumasi city (Ghana)

Urbanization remains a single predominant factor that is continuously linked to the destruction of urban green spaces. This has created a knowledge gap of limited attention to other critical factors that deplete urban green spaces in diverse ways. Using Kumasi city (Ghana) which is suffering from rapid deterioration of its green spaces as a study area, this paper sought to fill this gap by exploring other key factors aside urbanization that are responsible for the destruction of urban green spaces. The paper relied on a case study research approach and triangulated data collection techniques such as in-depth interview, focus group discussion, personal observation and retrieval of archival data. In all, 30 in-depth interviews, 10 focus group discussions and numerous personal observations were carried out. It was observed that apart from urbanization, laxity in the enforcement of development controls, problem of ownership of green space lands, low priority to green spaces, uncooperative attitudes of the general public, poor culture of maintenance and lack of coordination among the allied bodies on green spaces play a critical role in the destruction of urban green spaces. The paper therefore concludes that for a city to have a preserved and sustainable urban green space, a broader public policy or city development plans that take into consideration the factors highlighted by the paper in addition to urbanization is essential.
Reliability Analysis of Safety Intervehicle Communications in a Highway Environment

Vehicular network can improve traffic safety by exchange of safety-related messages between the vehicles within the the neighborhood of each other. However, many research related to vehicular network depends heavily on system-level simulation. In this paper, we use tools from stochastic geometry to analyze the reliability of the transmission of periodic message in a highway scenario. A Poission point process (PPP) basedbased network and slotted-aloha MAC scheme is assumed. Three-slope pass loss and rayleigh-lognormal fading are taken into consideration. Coverage probability and packet reception rate (PRR) are adopt as the reliability metrics. We then derive the closed form expressions of coverage probability and PRR. Finally, the accuracy of the analysis is validated via simulation. Keywords-vehicular safety communication; highway; reliability; multi-slope path loss; rayleigh-lognormal fading; PPP
INDIVIDUAL DIFFERENCES IN PSYCHOLOGICAL FEELINGS OF CONTAMINATION

Feelings of contamination can arise without physical contact with a contaminant. This study examined individual differences in sensitivity to mental contamination. Female undergraduates at U B C (n=100) filled out a series of questionnaires and listened to an audiotape that instructed them to imagine experiencing a forced kiss by an undesirable male. Controls (n=20) imagined a consensual kiss by a desirable male. Women in the nonconsensual condition reported greater feelings of dirtiness and urge to wash than those in the consensual condition. Twenty-seven women rinsed in order to alleviate physical sensations evoked by the tape. High scores on measures of physical contamination fears predicted reported dirtiness and urge to wash. Actual rinsing was associated with higher scores on fear of negative evaluation. Results are discussed in terms of methodological issues, as well as implications for future research into contamination. Table of
Interpolation, PSTM, AVO, and a Thin Gas Charged Viking Shoreface in West Central Alberta

Summary Exploration and development of the Viking in West Central Alberta is challenging because this prolific zone is deep, structured, and very thin relative to tuning thickness. It represents an attractive economic prize, but even on the extensive 3D coverage that exists in the area, reservoir quality indicators such as porosity-thickness (Phi-H) are difficult to accurately predict. We attempted to exploit the AVO response of the gas charged zone on migrated gathers to obtain a more accurate estimate of Phi-H. A coarse 3D geometry led to the need to use a 5D interpolation prior to migration to minimize the migration artifacts that arise due to the insufficient sampling of the seismic wavefield. This interpolation migration flow was the most effective flow relative to other methods tried on this data, and represents an important new paradigm for land AVO analysis. This assertion is validated by 29 well ties and the resultant maps which are consistent with the structural erosional model of the Viking.
A Normalized Transfer Matrix Method for the Free Vibration of Stepped Beams: Comparison with Experimental and FE(3D) Methods

The exact solution for multistepped Timoshenko beam is derived using a set of fundamental solutions. This set of solutions is derived to normalize the solution at the origin of the coordinates. The start, end, and intermediate boundary conditions involve concentrated masses and linear and rotational elastic supports. The beam start, end, and intermediate equations are assembled using the present normalized transfer matrix (NTM). The advantage of this method is that it is quicker than the standard method because the size of the complete system coefficient matrix is 4 × 4. In addition, during the assembly of this matrix, there are no inverse matrix steps required. The validity of this method is tested by comparing the results of the current method with the literature. Then the validity of the exact stepped analysis is checked using experimental and FE(3D) methods. The experimental results for stepped beams with single step and two steps, for sixteen different test samples, are in excellent agreement with those of the three-dimensional finite element FE(3D). The comparison between the NTM method and the finite element method results shows that the modal percentage deviation is increased when a beam step location coincides with a peak point in the mode shape. Meanwhile, the deviation decreases when a beam step location coincides with a straight portion in the mode shape.
Application and validation of mortality functions to assess the consequences of flooding to people

The assessment of potential consequences of a flood event to the exposed population is a key question for flood risk managers. This issue is increasingly a triggering research on assessing potential numbers of fatalities because of flooding. In the past, mortality functions were proposed to estimate the fatalities in areas that are exposed to a hazard because of flood defence failures-in the Netherlands. This paper describes a study undertaken to validate those mortality functions and assesses their applicability for appraising consequences of flooding to people in a UK-specific context. The functions were applied to the 1953 North Sea Storm and, in particular, to the Canvey Island that suffered from 58 fatalities as consequence of this flood event. This paper describes the results of this research and provides a review of the criteria used to apply the functions, as well as guidelines for applying these functions in a UK context.
