Social Media and the Impact on Alcohol Consumption: A Study among Academics from a Public University in a Western Amazon City, Porto Velho, Brazil

This is a descriptive study of quantitative approach, developed at the Federal University of Rondonia located in the Western Amazon. With the aim of analyzing the frequency of visualization of alcoholic content in the Facebook, Instagram and Snapchat, patterns of consumption, reasons that lead them to drink, most used social network and to correlate how often the users are exposed to alcoholic publications, determining if there was an important link between individual drinking practice during the beginning period and six months later. The information was obtained through the application of questionnaires for incoming students of the freshmen semester, in two moments: a period from August to December 2016/2, and, asking the same students again, from March to June 2017/1. 52.8% were males in 2016/2 and 57, 9% of females in 2017/1 with age ranging between 18 and 20 years in both periods. Facebook has proven to be the most used platform among college students. In 2016/2, 63.9% reported seeing alcohol content at Facebook and consuming that substance, comparing to Instagram with 70.4%, and to Snapchat with 74.1%. In 2017/2, academics reporting viewing alcoholic content on Facebook and consuming those alcoholic beverages accounted for 65.8%, compared to Instagram, 74.1% and Snapchat 74.4%. “Celebrating a special occasion with friends” is the most cited reason of why claim to consume alcohol. Therelation between exposure to the alcohol content of the virtual media and the network of friends was found imperceptible to the majority of the students, as they mostly do not consider themselves exposed. Many university students start the graduation already consuming alcoholic substances, which explains why there is no significant change in alcohol consumption between the observed moments, although it was found a relationship between the visualization of alcohol content in social networks and consumption, with greater impact on Snapchat.

From Local to Global: Offshoring and Asset Prices

Industries differ in the extent to which they can offshore their production. I document that industries with low offshoring potential carry a sizeable risk premium compared with industries with high offshoring potential, suggesting that the possibility to offshore affects industry risk. A two-country dynamic trade model in which offshoring allows firms to secure market share against foreign competitors can rationalize the empirical findings.

Determination of individual cephalometric characteristics of the occlusal plane in Ukrainian young men and young women with orthognatic bite

To date, there are no clear recommendations on the use of a particular indicator, cephalometric method, normative basis for the inhabitants of Ukraine when assessing the cephalometric characteristics of the occlusal plane. The purpose of the study - by studying cephalometric indices and conducting direct stepwise regression analysis - develop in young men and women of Ukraine with orthognathic bite mathematical models of individual characteristics of the position of the occlusal plane. In 38 young men (aged 17-21 years) and 55 young women (aged from 16 to 20 years) with occlusion close to orthognathic bite and balanced faces, lateral teleroentgenograms were obtained using the Veraviewepocs 3D device, Morita (Japan). Cephalometric analysis was performed using OnyxCeph³™ software. Cephalometric points and measurements were performed according to the recommendations of W. B. Downs, J. McNamara, R. A. Holdway, P. F. Schmuth, A. M. Schwarz, C. C. Steiner and C. H. Tweed. In the licensed statistical package "Statistica 6.0", using regression analysis, the following teleroentgenographic characteristics of the position of the occlusal plane were simulated: the angle YGOCLPl, the angle POR_DOP, the angle POR_OCP, and the SN_OSP angle. It was established that in both young men and women, all four possible models with a determination coefficient from 0.808 to 0.998 in young men and from 0.832 to 0.974 in young women were constructed. In the analysis of models of teleroentgenographic characteristics of the position of the occlusal plane, depending on the peculiarities of the metric characteristics of the craniofacial complex, it was found that in young men the most frequent regression equations include - the Wits indicator (21.1% for all four equations), the angle AB_NPOG (15.8%) and the distance PN_POG (10.5%). In young women, most often the regression equations include - Wits indicator (17.4% - also to all 4 equations); angle AB_NPOG, distance AFH, angle MM and angle SN_GoGn (by 8.7%). So, using the method of stepwise regression, among Ukrainians of juvenile, based on the features of teleroentgenographic indicators, reliable models of individual cephalometric characteristics of the occlusal plane were created.
Effect of Power Law-Index for Accurate Natural Frequencies of Rotating Isotropic SWCNTs with Ring Supports

Vibration analysis of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) is very essential field owing to their many promising applications in tiny instruments. The unique and interesting properties of CNTs, particularly their mechanical and electrical features, have fascinated industries and researchers to implement CNTs for production of different electromechanical devices. Research on vibration behavior of CNTs was done for a few decades ago. Vibrations of isotropic rotating zigzag and chiral single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNTs) with ring supports are established using the Love’s shell theory. To discretize the governing equations of current model, Galerkin’s method is utilized for frequency equations of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs). The unknown axial functions have assumed by characteristic beam functions which fulfill boundary conditions applied at the tube ends. Effects of different parameters with ring supports on the fundamental natural frequencies versus ratio of length-to-radius, angular speed and height-to-radius ratio have been investigated. The frequencies curves decrease as the length-to-diameter ratio increases. With the increase of angular speed the frequency curve of backward waves increases and forward wave decreases for rotating zigzag and chiral tubes. On the other hand, the phenomena of frequency versus height-to-radius ratio are counterpart of length-to-radius ratio for rotating boundary conditions. The frequency phenomena have been observed very pronounced with ring support. Frequency value of C-C end condition is higher than those of C-F computations. The results of single-walled carbon nanotube are computed by using MATLAB software. To validate the accuracy of present model, the results have been compared with earlier modeling/simulations.
The effect of atmosphere–ocean coupling on the prediction of 2016 western North Pacific tropical cyclones

We examine the merit of atmosphere–ocean coupled models for tropical cyclone (TC) predictions in the western North Pacific (WNP), where accurate TC predictions remain challenging. The UK Met Office operational atmospheric global numerical weather prediction (NWP) model is compared with two trial coupled configurations, in which the operational atmospheric model is coupled to a one‐dimensional mixed‐layer ocean model and a three‐dimensional dynamical ocean model. Reforecasts for the 2016 TC season show that the coupled models outperform the NWP model for TC location predictions, with a systematic improvement of 50–100 km over the seven‐day forecasts, but the coupled models amplify the underestimation of TC intensity in the NWP model. Nearly identical TC predictions (for both location and intensity) are found in the two coupled models, indicating the dominance of thermodynamic processes at the air–sea interface for TC predictions on these timescales. The improved prediction of the TC position in the coupled models is associated with an enhanced Western North Pacific Subtropical High (WNPSH), which introduces an anticyclonic steering flow anomaly that shifts TC tracks further west in the southern part of the region and further east in the northern part. Based on sensitivity experiments, we show that these improvements in the coupled models are due mainly to colder initial sea‐surface temperatures (SSTs). Air–sea feedbacks do not change the WNPSH or TC tracks noticeably. Apart from the effect of the initial SSTs, tropical ocean warming due to air–sea interaction in the coupled forecasts can also reduce the predicted TC intensity, presumably due to a stronger regional Hadley circulation with increased subtropical subsidence.
Impact of organization size and project type on BIM adoption in the Chinese construction market

Abstract Building Information Modelling (BIM) is perceived as an effective tool for improving the delivery and coordination of construction projects. The Chinese construction sector has demonstrated significant interest in implementing the 3-dimensional modelling-based process. BIM adoption is influenced by several factors which can either be operational or strategic related. Factors which can have a significant impact include the size of the construction organization and the type of projects that the organization has to deliver (i.e. building vs infrastructure projects). This study aims to evaluate the effect of project type and size on BIM adoption in the Chinese market, via an adoption model which analyses factors impacting the adoption decision. The study examines 200 samples collected from the Chinese construction industry, split equally between infrastructure and building construction data groups, as well as SMEs and large organizations. The collected data are first analyzed by principal component analysis and then through a Structural Equation Modelling-based multiple group analysis. Results demonstrate that essential factors such as operational risks are considered by small organization, whereas large organizations focus on implementation challenges. Implementation benefits and challenges are significant on the adoption decision in infrastructure organizations, but not in building organizations. In addition, the study reveals that “technical support” is an important factor when it comes to BIM adoption among all types of organizations, regardless of the organization’s size and project type delivered.
The effect of Pumpkin peels (Cucurbita maxima) on the quality of Japanese quail flesh

The use and benefit of Pumpkin (Cucurbita maxima) peel is still not prominent and acknowledged by many people till now. The peel which is reported to be abundant with beta-carotene are not palatable and commonly discarded. The main objective of this experiment is to determine the effect of different concentrations of pumpkin peel powder (PPP) as feed formulation on the flesh quality of Japanese quail (Coturnix japonica). The following treatments were applied; commercial feed with 0% PPP (Treatment 1; T1), 2% (Treatment 2; T2); 4% (Treatment 3; T3) and 6% (Treatment 4; T4) for 3 weeks after fully fed with commercial feed for 2 weeks. The main analytical tests conducted were feed analysis, carotenoid content, drip loss, colour and texture. Carotenoid content was analysed by using spectrophotometer. The results obtain indicated that the highest concentration (6%) of pumpkin peel powder showed the highest reading of carotenoid content (p<0.05) while treatment 2 with 2% of PPP obtain the highest weight gain (p<0.05). In conclusion, this study showed that quail feed which supplemented with higher PPP may help in producing quail flesh with antioxidant properties.
The Tversky Condition Applied to Rating Scales

This study is the first empirical investigation of the 1964 Tversky condition applied to rating scales. The Tversky condition posits that the 3-response format will be optimum if testing time is proportional to the length of the test. To this end, 2-, 3-, 4-, and 5-response category forms of a 10-item measure of attitudes in science were randomly administered to 241 third grade students. Reliability and validity were computed for each form. No significant differences were found among the reliability coefficients or among the validity coefficients. The Tversky condition was not confirmed for rating scales. These findings are consistent with results from other studies regarding the lack of substantial differences among reliability and validity coefficients as the number of response categories in a rating scale are varied.
Aerobic Fitness and Adherence to Guideline-Recommended Minimum Physical Activity Among Ambulatory Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

OBJECTIVE Lifestyle intervention remains the cornerstone of management of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, adherence to physical activity (PA) recommendations and the impact of that adherence on cardiorespiratory fitness in this population have been poorly described. We sought to investigate adherence to PA recommendations and its association with cardiorespiratory fitness in a population of patients with T2DM. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS A cross-sectional analysis of baseline data from a randomized clinical trial (NCT00424762) was performed. A total of 150 individuals with medically treated T2DM and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) or risk factors for ASCVD were recruited from outpatient clinics at a single academic medical center. All individuals underwent a graded maximal exercise treadmill test to exhaustion with breath-by-breath gas exchange analysis to determine VO2peak. PA was estimated using a structured 7-Day Physical Activity Recall interview. RESULTS Participants had a mean ± SD age of 54.9 ± 9.0 years; 41% were women, 40% were black, and 21% were Hispanic. The mean HbA1c was 7.7 ± 1.8% and the mean BMI, 34.5 ± 7.2 kg/m2. A total of 72% had hypertension, 73% had hyperlipidemia, and 35% had prevalent ASCVD. The mean ± SD reported daily PA was 34.3 ± 4 kcal/kg, only 7% above a sedentary state; 47% of the cohort failed to achieve the minimum recommended PA. Mean ± SD VO2peak was 27.4 ± 6.5 mL/kg fat-free mass/min (18.8 ± 5.0 mL/kg/min). CONCLUSIONS On average, patients with T2DM who have or are at risk for ASCVD report low levels of PA and have low measured cardiopulmonary fitness. This underscores the importance of continued efforts to close this therapeutic gap.
EFFECTS OF SWEET BASIL (OCIMUM BASILICUM) LEAF POWDER ON THE SENSORY AND NUTRITIONAL QUALITIES OF BEEF AND FRANKFURTER SAUSAGES

The aim of the experiment was to find out the effects of sweet basil leaf powder on the sensory and nutritional qualities of beef and frankfurter sausages. The experiment involved the use of basil leaves powder at 4, 6 and 8g/kg meat in place of adobo®, a commercially formulated spice in both beef and frankfurter sausages. Sensory attributes such as colour, aroma, flavour intensity, flavour liking and texture were evaluated. The addition of basil leaves powder resulted in a significant (P<0.001) effect on the colour of both beef and frankfurter sausages. The control and 4g of the test materials in beef and frankfurter sausages had acceptable sensory attributes as compared to the higher levels (6 and 8g/kg). Sweet basil leaf powder did not have any adverse effect on the sensory characteristics of the products. There was significant difference (P<0.05) among treatment means in terms of fat content of the frankfurter sausages. However, the moisture and crude protein content of both beef and frankfurter sausages were not improved by the addition of basil leaf powder.

The Impact of Cognitive (Reflectivity/Impulsivity) on Tertiary EFL Learners’ Syntactic Complexity in Descriptive Writing

The purpose of this study was to investigate the probable effects of cognitive in linguistics properties of descriptive writing. The cognitive was studied on reflectivity and impulsivity in which students were categorized in to two groups. The linguistics properties of the learners’ descriptive writings were examined through syntactic complexity under syntax studies umbrella. The participants were selected from systematic random sampling technique and by applying the personality test subjected degree of cognitive level from Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (30 from the most reflective learners and 30 from the most impulsive learners). The selected participants were asked to write descriptive essay about person. Syntactic complexity (simple, compound, complex and compound-complex) was calculated from each of learners’ writing and the significant difference between two groups were analyzed by employing the independent sample t – test in SPSS version 21. The result shows that there were differences between reflective and impulsive learners in producing syntactic complexity in descriptive writing. Even though, there were differences on syntactic complexity, the assumption of teachers on, impulsive learners are better than reflective students, does not suit to the linguistics properties competencies and performances especially on syntactic complexity of the descriptive writing because both of them had their own superiority in syntactic complexity.
Variation of Anthocyanins, Proanthocyanidins, Flavonols, and Organic Acids in Cultivated and Wild Diploid Blueberry Species

The flavonoid and organic acid profiles of one cultivated tetraploid and six wild diploid blueberry species (Vaccinium spp.) were systematically investigated using high-performance liquid chromatography–electrospray ionization–tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-ESI-MS-MS). Eighteen individual anthocyanins from five aglycone classes were characterized among species, with malvidin and delphinidin glycosides accounting for 31.4% and 29.1% of total anthocyanins. Twenty-three flavonol glycosides from six aglycone classes were identified, among which quercetin and myricetin glycosides accounted for more than 80% of total flavonols in most species. Both inter- and intraspecies differences in anthocyanin and flavonol composition were observed, as described by principal component analysis. Only B-type proanthocyanidins were found in blueberry species, and highly polymerized molecules with degree of polymerization greater than 10 appeared to be the most abundant fraction. Although overall proanthocyanidin levels varied from 27.7 to 146.3 mg/100 g fruit, all species exhibited similar proanthocyanidin composition. Citric, quinic, and shikimic acid were the major identified blueberry organic acids. However, their relative abundance varied across species. In certain species either citric acid (e.g., Vaccinium darrowii) or quinic acid (e.g., Vaccinium corymbosum) was lacking.
Multimedia Sotho-English E-dictionary for Undergraduate Students in Design and Studio Art

xi | P a g e Abstract Introduction: When students study at tertiary institutions they are often confronted with disciplines that are unfamiliar to them. Many of these disciplines are rich in terminology and concepts that students have never been confronted with in their past. In most South African tertiary institutions the language of instruction is English, making it difficult for second language speaking students to grasp the meaning of these terms and concepts. Research has shown that e-dictionaries with multimedia enhancements have greatly facilitated the comprehension of difficult terms and concepts. The inclusion of pictures, videos, animations, cartoons and audio clips into e-dictionaries have been proven to aid students in learning and comprehending new terms and concepts. Aim: Undergraduate students at the Department of Design and Studio Art, CUT-FS could greatly benefit from the development of a multimedia enhanced Sotho-English edictionary. Therefore, the aim of this study was to develop a multimedia enhanced Sotho-English e-dictionary that can be used by undergraduate students from the Department of Design and Studio Art, Central University of Technology, Free State.

Assessment of Spentwash Derived Biocompost for Chemical Fertilizers Substitution by Monitoring Soil Fertility and Crop Productivity of Potato ( Solanum tuberosum L.) in Sandy Loam Soil

A thrice replicated field experiment was conducted to study the effect of biocompost and inorganic fertilizers on yield and quality of potato. The experimental results revealed that, highest tuber yield was recorded in 100% NPK followed by 87.5% NPK with the least in control. Application effect of biocompost @ 12 t ha -1 was found to be similar to 50% NPK in respect of potato yield, while the application of inorganic fertilizers above 50% NPK showed superiority in terms of yield over all the doses of biocompost. Among the various treatments of inorganic fertilizers and biocompost, treatment where 100% RDF of NPK was applied proved to be superior to other treatments in terms of growth parameters, tuber yield and macronutrients content. However, micronutrient content in tuber was found higher in the treatments of biocompost application. By comparing the tuber yields obtained in the different treatments at harvesting, it was found that 50% inorganic NPK can be saved with the application of biocompost @ 12 t ha -1 . Micronutrients content in soil was buffered to its initial value with the application of different doses of biocompost while declined in case of inorganic fertilization.
