Introducing Extended Data on Terrorist Groups (EDTG), 1970 to 2016

This article introduces an extended data set of 760 terrorist groups that engaged in attacks during 1970 to 2016. Unlike most extant group data sets, the extended data on terrorist groups (EDTG) is not tied to terrorist groups and attacks listed in the RAND terrorism data; rather, EDTG is linked to terrorist groups and attacks given in the Global Terrorism Database. Terrorist groups’ variables in EDTG include ideology, main goals, start date, duration, base country, attack diversity, peak size, alternative endings (if relevant), and others. We display interesting features of EDTG through a series of tables and figures. Our EDTG-based survival analysis is at odds with some of the literature: for example, the demise of a leader and a larger share of transnational terrorist attacks increase the group’s odds of failure. After 2001, religious terrorist groups are more resilient than those with other ideologies. We also analyze terrorist group lethality and productivity.
Role of consumer vanity and the mediating effect of brand consciousness in luxury consumption

Purpose There has been substantial research on luxury globally, but there is a dearth of studies empirically investigating the key relationships affecting luxury consumption. The aim of this paper is to consider the role of consumer vanity and brand consciousness and to set their relationships in context of luxury consumption. Design/methodology/approach To measure consumer vanity, brand consciousness, attitude towards luxury brands and purchase intentions, pre-established scale items were adopted. Self-administered questionnaires were distributed through luxury exhibitions and festivals in major cities of India. A sample of n = 342 luxury consumers was analysed using structural equation modelling. Findings The findings support that brand consciousness is mediating the relationship between consumer vanity and luxury consumption. Luxury consumers are primarily driven by achievement vanity. They are likely to evaluate luxury brands based on their price, fame and their ability to portray their professional achievements. They incur unreasonable costs to acquire the expensive, famous and prestigious luxury brands and conspicuously consume them to display their success and accomplishments. Research limitations/implications The study provides an in-depth explanation of how consumer vanity is leading to consumption of luxury brands. The marketers may benefit by focussing on promotion of their brand's symbols and logos than on specific product features. Originality/value This is the first empirical examination understanding the mediating effect of brand consciousness as a mediator between consumer vanity and luxury consumption.
Gender differences among Black adolescents in foster care: The relationship between relational permanence and psychological well-being

ABSTRACT Black adolescents in the foster care system are at risk for a wide variety of negative outcomes. However, little is known about the role of multilevel promotive factors, particularly relational permanence, in promoting resilience in regards to race and gender for Black adolescents in foster care. This longitudinal study examines whether gender impacts the association between multilevel promotive factors and psychological well-being among Black adolescents in foster care. Participants were 489 Black adolescents who completed the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services Child and Adolescent Needs and Strengths assessment between 2007 and 2012. It was hypothesized that promotive factors would play a different role for Black boys and girls. Findings indicate that relational permanence was positively associated with psychological well-being for Black boys, but not for Black girls. Additionally, maltreatment type and number of placements also significantly predicted relational permanence at Time 2 for boys, but not girls. Taken together, these findings suggest that more attention needs to focus on promotive factors that predict positive outcomes for Black girls in the foster care system. Implications for practice and policy related to the gendered needs of Black adolescents in foster care are discussed.

The Influence of Free Cash Flow and Operating Cash Flow on Earnings Management at Manufacturing Firms Listed in the Indonesian Stock Exchange

The objective of this study is to test the influence of free cash flow, operating cash flow, managerial ownership, financial leverage, and firm size on earnings management at manufacturing firms listed in the Indonesian Stock Exchange (IDX) from 2012 to 2016. The study was aimed to testseveral hypotheses. The sample was selected by using purposive sampling technique, resulting in 106 sampled firms. The data were obtained from firms’ annual report and analyzed by using panel data regression. The study results showed that the free cash flow and operating cash flow as the independent variables with financial leverage as the control variable influenced the earnings management, while managerial ownership withfirm size as control variable did not influence the earnings management.
Extending the Chain of Relationships between Organizational Trust and Intention to Remain, among Self-initiated Academic Expatriate: A Conceptual Model

Research on self-initiated expatriates infrequently pays attention to the potential gap between the trust organisations seeks to establish, and employees’ intention to remain. Understanding this situation might help in gaining better perspective on how a university may attempt to boost the intention to remain capabilities for the retention of academic expatriates. A model is proposed for the purpose of identifying the critical antecedents of self-initiated academic expatriates. The model predicts that organizational trust is a predictor of intention to remain. In this paper, it is asserted that the success of the expatriation process depends not only on the self-initiated academic expatriate’s competencies and skills, but also on organizational trust during the process of carrying out their assignments. The paper is proposing the Social Exchange Theory as a linkage between trust and intention to remain to explain the reciprocity as a result of exchange relationship between the higher education institutions and self-initiated academic expatriates. Upon model validation, the paper could offer practical interventions for human resource practitioners and the management to assist the recruiting universities towards managing knowledge transfer involving self-initiated academic expatriates in Malaysia.
Convergence effects of collaborative peer tutoring on communication ability and self-leadership of nursing students

This study is to find convergent effects of collaborative peer tutoring on communication ability and self-leadership of nursing students. According to the results of Mann-Whitney U and Kruskal-Wallis test using SPSS/WIN 19.0 for the survey of communication and self-leadership before and after experiments, there were significant differences of personality type, discussion preference and leadership in communication, and of motive of admission, leadership and school grades in self-leadership. There were positive correlations between communication and self-leadership before and after treatments. The results of Wilcoxon signed ranked test showed cooperative peer tutoring increased communication ability and self-leadership significantly each(p=.008, p<.001). These results could be used in developing intervention programs for enhancing communication and self-leadership of nursing students after further studies with wider range of subjects and setting control group.
ETHNIC IDENTITY AND SELF-ESTEEM OF CHINESE MALAYSIAN UNIVERSITY STUDENTS: DOES UNIVERSITY SOCIAL CONTEXT MATTER?

Ethnic Chinese constitute a large, albeit minority, group in Malaysian society. Within this group, Chinese Malaysians come from a wide variety of linguistic, religious, and educational backgrounds. The overall purpose of this study was to gain a better understanding of the impact of university social context on ethnic identity and self-reported global self-esteem for Chinese Malaysian university students. To conduct this study, a total of 628 students were sampled from two universities and from different social backgrounds. Students answered a questionnaire about their ethnic identity, self-esteem, and demographic background. The relationship between ethnic identity and self-esteem was examined and the most significant predictors of ethnic identity for Chinese Malaysian university students were discovered. Analysis revealed that national context as well as childhood and adolescence, as opposed to university education or context, play a key role in student ethnic identity formation. Keywords: ethnic identity, self-esteem, minority, social context, Malaysia
COMBINING MEASUREMENTS OR DATES USING HIERARCHICAL BAYESIAN STATISTICS: THE EVENT MODEL

The most widely used methods for measurements or dates combination are the weighted mean and the central age model which are based on maximum likelihood (ML) estimation. However, these techniques do not take into account errors occurring between measurements or dates and the ML estimation does not operate when considering individual errors. This article proposes a new approach for combining measurements or dates through the Event model which is based on Bayesian statistics. This approach allows the estimation of a mean (mean of measurements or date of an Event from different datings) by introducing individual errors on each observation in addition to the experimental errors made during laboratory experiments. In particular, Event model implies that dates are coming from assumed contemporaneous artefacts. A prior information on these individual errors is introduced using the shrinkage density. This modelling provides a very simple way to automatically penalize outlying data with minimal assumptions about Bayesian parameters. The mathematical formulation is explained in details and many application examples are exhibited in different archaeological situations involving radiocarbon, lumi-nescence and archaeomagnetic results. This new combination procedure is also applied to the wiggle-matching process in dendrochronological dating. Calculations are based on MCMC numerical techniques and can be performed using ChronoModel software which is freeware and multiplatform.

Understanding the Ecologies of Education Reforms: Comparing the Perceptions of Secondary Teachers and Students in the Philippines

This study examines how secondary school teachers have implemented educational reforms in the Philippines. Data sources were surveys for sample teachers and students in 20 schools on how often a teaching or evaluation strategy was used in various courses. The study concluded that most teachers were able to adopt most of the reforms. Even though teacher-directed lessons still dominated, there were sufficient student-centered lessons. Tests, exams, and performance tasks were used for evaluations. However, classroom management needs increased attention. More resources and professional development are needed. Policymakers and educators in all jurisdictions can learn from the reform efforts.
Residents' perspectives about social mix

The idea of balanced social mix, or creating communities with a blend of residents from across different housing tenures and income levels, is a common theme of contemporary housing and planning policies in Australia, the UK and the US that aim to create sustainable communities. In seeking to evaluate this claim, much of the research conducted on social mix attempts to measure any independent effects for disadvantaged residents of living in areas of concentrated poverty compared to more mixed income neighbourhoods. In a nutshell proof is sought that social mix works. As valuable as this research is, commentators point out that limited attention has been paid to explaining how residents understand social mix, or even if from their point of view it matters. The current research starts from residents’ perceptions of social mix, utilising three case studies of social housing estates based in South Australia that have undergone substantial changes to social mix to reduce concentrations of public housing tenants and attract private home owners into the areas.
Developing Critical Thinking, Scientific Attitude, and Self-efficacy in Students through Project Based Learning and Authentic Assessment in Science Teaching at Junior High School

The aim of this study was to analyze the effect of Project Based Learning (PjBL) model on critical thinking, scientific attitude, and self-efficacy in students. This study used a quasi-experiment of pos-ttest only control group design. The subjects were 60 ninth grade students of public high schools in Singaraja in the academic year 2017/2018 selected randomly from the existing classes, in which 30 students were assigned to the experiment class and another 30 to the control class. The instruments used were critical thinking test, scientific attitude questionnaire, and self-efficacy questionnaire. The instruments had a high reliability. The data were analyzed descriptively and to test the hypothesis, MANOV with the 5% significance level was used. The result showed that simultaneously critical thinking, scientific thinking, scientific attitude, and self-efficacy of the students who learned with PjBL and authentic assessment significantly differed from those who learned with PjBl and conventional assessment (F=10.79; p<0.05). The group of students who learned with PjBL and authentic assessment had a high mean than that of those who learned with PjBL and conventional assessment. In other words, authentic assessment is effective in enhancing critical thinking, scientific attitude, and self-efficacy of the students in science teaching.
The accuracy of Hopkins Symptom Checklist – 25 (HSCL-25) depression subscales (Indonesian version) on adolescents

Hopkins Symptom Checklist - 25 (HSCL-25) depression subscales is an easy-to-use, mainstream screening to detect early stage of depression symptoms, including on adolescents. The accuracy studies of HSCL-25 conducted all over the countries indicated a relatively good accuracy. However, there has been no accuracy testing on HSCL-25 in Indonesia. This study aimed to examine the accuracy of HSCL-25 depression subscales (Indonesian version) by comparing it to semi-structured diagnostic interview as the gold standard . This was a non-experimental study by diagnostic interviewing 40 participants. The results of depression status from the interview then compared to HSCL-25 depression subscales scores from previous study. The results analyzed using crosstabs, pearson chi square, and Receiver Operatic Characteristic (ROC) analysis to obtain the accuracy and the optimum cut-off score. The results show that HSCL-25 depression subscales have a good sensitivity (87.5%) and fairly good specificity (65.4%) with the +LR of 2.5 and –LR of . 2. The cut-off score used in this study (1.75) was optimum to be used as a cut-off point in the prevention context. Then it can be conclude that HSCL-25 have a fairly good accuracy and the current cut-off score used was already good for detecting the early depression symptoms among adolescents.
Effect of Two Carotenoids (Lycopene and β-Carotene) Supplementation on Hyperlipidemia and Lipid Peroxidation in Experimental Albino Rats

Background: Carotenoids have been known to have important beneficial properties for human health and gained importance in recent years. Objectives: The present study aimed to investigate the effect of supplementation with two carotenoids (Lycopene and β-Carotene) separately or in combination, on lipid peroxidation and some endogenous antioxidants in addition to their effect on serum levels of lipoproteins in male rats. Methods: Thirty male Sprague-Dawley Albino rats, were randomly divided into 5 groups, normal control group fed on standard diet, 4 groups were divided to positive control group fed on high fat and cholesterol diet only, and the remaining 3 groups were fed on high fat and cholesterol diets supplemented with single antioxidant Lycopene 350mg/kg diet, β-carotene 350mg/kg diet, or mixture of Lycopene and β-carotene, for 4 weeks. The following parameters were measured, serum total cholesterol (TC), HDL, LDL, serum triglyceride (TG) levels, blood and liver glutathione (GSH), and livers malondialdhyde (MDA). Results: Supplementation of High Fat Diet (HFD) with lycopene (HFD+ LYC), β-Carotene (HFD+ B-car) and their mixture (HFD+ (LYC+ B-car)) produced a significant reduction of Serum TC, LDL and TG levels, and a significant elevation of serum HDL levels. The supplementation of lycopene, β-carotene or their mixture resulted in a significant reduction of liver MDA, and a significant elevation of liver and blood glutathione (GSH), in comparison with the levels of HFD group. Conclusion: These findings suggest that lycopene and s-carotene supplementation, altered the pro-oxidation and anti-oxidation balance and suppressed oxidative stress by modulating endogenously the antioxidant system and cholesterol metabolism. Key Words: Rats- Lycopene - s-carotene - LDL- HDL- MDA- Blood GSH, Liver GSH
Influence of Alkali-Silica Reaction on the Shear Capacity of Reinforced Concrete Slabs Without Shear Reinforced

Alkali-silica reaction (ASR) is a deterioration mechanism that can occur in concrete structures. It is a chemical reaction between alkalis, silica minerals in the reactive aggregates and water. The reaction causes severe cracking of the concrete, which results in significant reductions of the strength parameters. This material degradation has raised serious concerns regarding the safety of ASR-damaged structures; particularly structures, which may be sensitive to shear failure. The Danish Road Directorate has estimated that more than 600 Danish road bridges have the potential to develop ASR in the future. The majority of these bridges has been constructed as slabs without shear reinforcement, i.e. structures where the shear capacity relies entirely on the strength of the concrete. Unfortunately, there exists no satisfactory method to assess the residual shear capacity of ASR-damaged slabs without shear reinforcement in spite of nearly 80 years of research on ASR. The aim of this PhD project is therefore to develop an approach that can be used to determine the shear capacity of ASR-damaged slabs without shear reinforcement. The approach includes a shear model as well as recommendations and descriptions of how the relevant strength parameters should be determined by simple tests on samples taken from the structure. The works that have been undertaken to develop this approach are as follows. In the first part of the project, a literature study on how ASR affects the parameters that are important for the shear capacity is conducted. One of the main findings here is that ASR affects slabs differently than other types of structures, e.g. the way that the ASR-induced cracks are orientated. The majority of the existing ASR research on material characteristics and/or residual capacity of reinforced members is therefore not directly applicable for this PhD project. Based on the findings as well as shortcomings in the existing literature, a number of research questions that need answers in order to develop a shear model for ASR-damaged slabs are formulated. In the second part of the project, answers to the formulated research questions are found by means of a thorough experimental investigation, where the effects of ASR on the material properties as well as on the structural response are studied. The investigation includes a large shear testing campaign with specimens cut out from two ASR-damaged bridges. The material properties are investigated by means of standard test methods and Digital Image Correlation (DIC). By a critical examination of the results and an optical investigation of the underlying mechanisms, recommendations of testing methods to obtain the anisotropic residual compressiveand tensile strength are formulated.
Evolution of strategies in repeated stochastic games with full information of the payoff matrix

A framework for studying the evolution of cooperative behaviour, using evolution of finite state strategies, is presented. The interaction between agents is modelled by a repeated game with random observable payoffs. The agents are thus faced with a more complex (and general) situation, compared to the Prisoner's Dilemma that has been widely used for investigating the conditions for cooperation in evolving populations. Still, there is a robust cooperating strategy that usually evolves in a population of agents. In the cooperative mode, this strategy selects an action that allows for maximizing the payoff sum of both players in each round, regardless of the own payoff. Two such strategies maximize the expected total payoff. If the opponent deviates from this scheme, the strategy invokes a punishment action, which for example could be to aim for the single round Nash equilibrium for the rest of the (possibly infinitely) repeated game.
