ORDER PLACEMENT STRATEGIES IN A PURE LIMIT ORDER BOOK MARKET

Using order book information from the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX), we examine whether (and to what extent) the order book affects investors' order placement strategies. We find that the top of the book always affects order submissions, cancellations, and amendments, and the rest of the book mostly affects order cancellations and amendments. The previously documented order submission aggressiveness, given a crowded first step of the book, persists to other price steps and is found in order amendments and cancellations along the book. Finally, investors tend to fill in the large price gaps in the book by submitting or amending orders. (c) 2008 The Southern Finance Association and the Southwestern Finance Association.
Activation of stylolites as conduits for overpressured fluid flow in dolomitized platform carbonates

Abstract This study investigates the Late Aptian–earliest Albian platform carbonates of the Benicàssim area (Maestrat Basin, Spain) in order to assess the relationship between bed-parallel stylolites and the flow of diagenetic fluids during dolomitization and subsequent hydrothermal alteration. Dolostones and burial dolomite and calcite cements were studied by a combination of field geology and standard petrographic and isotope analysis. Field data indicate that dolostones are closely associated with seismic-scale synsedimentary faults, preferentially replace grain-dominated facies and typically show wavy dolomitizing fronts that mostly correspond to bed-parallel stylolites. The dolostones are corroded and contain bed-parallel pores that are filled with hydrothermal saddle dolomite and blocky calcite cements. This late calcite cement frequently engulfs clasts of the host dolostones, suggesting that hydraulic brecciation likely associated with overpressured fluid occurred. Results indicate that stylolites play a key role in the distribution of dolostones and subsequent hydrothermal mineralization. During the replacement stage, stylolites acted as baffles for the dolomitzing fluids controlling lateral fluid flow and resulting in the stratabound dolostone distribution. During the post-dolomitization stage, stylolites became preferred pathways for overpressured hydrothermal corrosive and mineralizing fluids that likely came from the underlying basement, and increased bed-parallel stylolitic porosity and probably also permeability.
Improving intentions to teach in inclusive classrooms: the impact of teacher education courses on future Learning Support Teachers

Educational research is giving much attention to implicit variables such as teachers’ attitudes, self-percepts of efficacy, concerns and intentions for the successful implementation of inclusive classroom practices, thus becoming core targets in course programme planning. This study was conducted to assess the possible impact of a teacher education course for future Learning Support Teachers (LSTs) on the variables involved in planning intentional behaviour aimed at fostering school inclusion. Using the Theory of Planned Behaviour as the guiding framework, it was hypothesised that LSTs with lower degree of concerns, higher levels of teaching efficacy, and favourable attitudes are likelier to have positive intentions to implement inclusive practices. Results show that the course may have influenced these variables positively. The authors conclude that further research needs to be conducted on the teaching strategies to be used in these courses. Promuovere l’intenzionalita ad agire in favore dell’inclusione: l’impatto della formazione sugli insegnanti specializzati per il sostegno La ricerca educativa ha gia da tempo focalizzato l’attenzione sullo studio delle variabili implicite che influenzano l’agire didattico dei docenti, come gli atteggiamenti, le percezioni di auto-efficacia, le preoccupazioni e le intenzioni ad implementare pratiche didattiche inclusive. In questo filone di ricerche si inserisce il presente studio che ha come obiettivo la valutazione del possibile impatto di un corso di formazione rivolto a futuri insegnanti specializzati per le attivita di sostegno sulle variabili che intervengono nella pianificazione di comportamenti intenzionalmente volti a promuovere l’inclusione scolastica. Assumendo la Teoria del Comportamento Pianificato come framework teorico di riferimento, l’ipotesi da cui muove lo studio e che gli insegnanti che mostrano minori preoccupazioni, livelli piu elevati di auto-efficacia e atteggiamenti favorevoli, rivelino un’intenzionalita maggiore nell’attuazione di pratiche inclusive. I risultati evidenziano che l’attivita di formazione potrebbe aver influenzato positivamente queste variabili, invitando ad ulteriori approfondimenti circa le strategie didattiche da impiegare nei percorsi formativi.
Phytoplankton nutrition quality and chlorophyll a-nutrient relationships in Lake Nasser, Egypt

Lake Nasser plays an important role in the local and national economy. Phytoplankton is the main base for organic matter production for different consumers in Lake Nasser. The present study investigated the variation in phytoplankton biomass, chlorophyll a, and biochemical contents, lipid, protein and carbohydrates. The samples were collected from three different regions, the main channel and two Khors, Tushka and Dahmeit in mid autumn-2014 and late spring-2015. Chlorophyll a, carbohydrate, lipid and protein levels were non-significantly differed among the three regions of the lake (P = 0.13). Total protein constitutes the major part of the biochemical contents of the phytoplankton while total lipid constitutes the minor one. In general, average chlorophyll a, carbohydrate, lipid and protein were 4.27 µg/l, 2.89 mg/l, 0.2 mg/l and 38.91 mg/l, respectively, in the main channel, 7.86 µg/l, 1.74 mg/l, 0.16 mg/l and 30.68 mg/l, respectively, in Khor Tushka, whilst they were 4.2 µg/l, 1.34 mg/l, 0.28 mg/l and 39.36 mg/l, respectively, in Khor Dahmeit. Results of the principle components analysis and Spearman correlation matrix indicated that responses of biochemical composition and chlorophyll a to the changes in nutrient concentrations were dissimilar depending on the location and time of sampling which indicated that, in addition to nutrients, many other factors regulate chlorophyll a and biochemical contents in Lake Nasser. The regression analysis revealed a lack of correlation between chlorophyll and both reactive phosphorus and total inorganic nitrogen (TIN) in Khor Dahmeit, whereas slight correlations were found with PO4 in the main channel and Khor Tushka. PO4 significantly explained 22% (P = 0.019) and 11% (P = 0.008) of the observed chlorophyll a variability in Khor Tushka and main channel, respectively.
Effects of upwelling on short-term variability in microbial and biogeochemical processes in estuarine sediments from Elkhorn Slough, California, USA

We examined short-term variability in sediment microbial processes and biogeochem- istry in response to decreased irradiance accompanying an upwelling event. Potential nitrification, extractable nutrients, solid phase iron and pore water sulfide concentrations were measured several times at 3 locations in Elkhorn Slough, California, USA. Benthic fluxes of nitrate+nitrite, ammonium, phosphate, sediment oxygen consumption and denitrification from N2/Ar flux were also measured. Fog that was associated with upwelling in Monterey Bay reduced photosynthetically active radiation in Elkhorn Slough, which led to increased duration of water column hypoxia. Solid phase Fe 3+ con- centrations and potential nitrification rates declined while pore water sulfide increased over this period. While potential nitrification rates from this study are lower than rates from estuaries that do not experience hypoxia or anoxia, nitrifiers in Elkhorn Slough appear to be capable of adjusting to changing environmental conditions, specifically of tolerating low levels of sulfide. The nitrifying assemblage was similar to the community of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria and ammonia-oxidizing archaea that was previously reported from this system. Eutrophic shallow estuaries like Elkhorn Slough are delicately poised such that their sediment biogeochemistry responds quickly to relatively small changes in the light environment.
Advancing understanding on industrial relations in multinational companies: Key research challenges and the INTREPID contribution

This paper has three principal aims. It firstly provides some theoretical background on the key current research issues and challenges in regard to industrial relations in multinational companies. It then presents a concise review of scholarship to date on industrial relations in multinational companies using INTREPID (Investigation of Transnationals’ Employment Practices: an International Database) data. Finally, the paper identifies some of the main industrial relations issues that remain to be addressed, in effect charting a form of research agenda for future work using the INTREPID data, with particular focus on the potential contribution from ‘late joiners’ to the INTREPID project.
IX. Chronic lymphocytic leukemia for the clinician

Several new drugs have recently been approved for chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) treatment (fludarabine, bendamustine as well as three monoclonal antibodies, alemtuzumab, rituximab and ofatumumab). Recent data show that chemoimmunotherapies composed of fludarabine and rituximab (with or without cyclophosphamide), or of fludarabine and alemtuzumab may improve overall survival when used as therapy for CLL patients. This review integrates this knowledge and proposes a treatment algorithm for patients with CLL.
Studying the impact on weight and glycaemic control in adults with diabetes attending a group-based commercial weight management programme

Most NHS weight management and diabetes education is short term, so can the more sustained support provided by commercial weight loss programmes prove a useful ally in treating obesity and diabetes? Here the authors evaluate a survey that suggests it can Healthcare professionals could work in partnership with commercial group weight management programmes (CGWMP) to help people with diabetes lose weight and improve their glycaemic control. The effect of ongoing CGWMP support on diabetes control has not previously been reported. This study evaluates weight loss and glycaemic control in people with diabetes attending a CGWMP. Method: A cross-sectional online survey posted on a CGWMP's member's website. The survey asked for reported changes in HbA1c and physical activity and demographics including age, type of diabetes, medications taken and healthcare professional support. The dataset was linked to electronically reported weight and attendances. Data was statistically analysed to assess percentage of individ.
IMPLICIT PROCESSING OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCES IN PSYCHOLOGICAL RESILIENCE

Psychological resilience refers to the human capacity to cope with distressing events such as abuse, disaster, and other stressful or traumatic circumstances. Previous investigations by using self-report questionnaires have focused exclusively on explicit aspects of psychological resilience. The present study investigated the relationship between implicit and explicit aspects of psychological resilience. We used a self-report questionnaire consisting of four types of psychological resilience scales as a measure of explicit aspects of psychological resilience. At the same time, we measured implicit aspects of psychological resilience by employing an implicit association test (IAT) that was designed to reveal participants’ implicit associations between closely related people (family member, companion, and friend), and calm/ anxiety attitudes. Our results showed that IAT scores exhibited significant interactions with questionnaire scores. We discuss potential links between explicit and implicit aspects of psychological resilience in terms of the availability of companion as environmental resources.
Is Gender Inequality Greater at Lower or Higher Educational Levels?: Common Patterns in the Netherlands, Sweden, and the United States

We compare how gender inequality varies by educational level in the Netherlands, Sweden, and the United States, representing three different welfare regimes: the conservative, the social democratic, and the liberal. With few exceptions, gender inequality in labor force participation, work hours, occupational segregation, and housework are less severe as education goes up in all three countries, with the root cause being the high employment levels of well-educated women. Despite a common pattern across nations, we note that the educational gradient on gender equality in employment is weaker in Sweden. De-familialization policies in Sweden no doubt increase gender equality at the bottom by pulling less-educated women into the work force. One form of gender equality, wages, however, does not increase with education. In the United States, educational differences in the gender gap in wages are trivial; in Sweden and the Netherlands, the gender wage gap is greatest for the highly educated because of higher returns to education for men than women in these nations.
Effect of age and cyclical heat stress on the serum biochemical profile of broiler chickens

Objetivou-se avaliar a influencia da idade e do estresse ciclico por calor durante uma hora por dia, nas concentracoes das proteinas, metabolitos e enzimas sericas em frangos de corte de 21 a 42 dias de idade. Foram utilizados 420 pintos de corte machos, da linhagem Cobb Avian48TM, em um delineamento inteiramente casualizado, composto de dois tratamentos e seis repeticoes. Os tratamentos foram constituidos de dois ambientes termicos: um para frangos de corte criados em condicoes naturais de temperatura e umidade do primeiro ao 42° dia de idade (controle); e outro para estressados por calor a 36 °C do 16° ao 42° dia, durante uma hora do dia (12h00m as 13h00m). No 21o, 28o, 35o e 42o dias de idade, foram coletados em duas aves por repeticao aproximadamente 5mL de sangue por puncao cardiaca. Foram determinadas em cada amostra de soro as concentracoes de proteina total, albumina, globulinas, relacao A/G, aspartato aminotransferase, alanina aminotransferase, gama glutamiltransferase, acido urico, creatinina, colesterol total, triacilglicerois, lipoproteinas de alta densidade, lipoproteinas de muito baixa densidade, lipoproteinas de baixa densidade e glicose. Para as concentracoes de glicose, acido urico, alanina aminotransferase, triacilglicerois e lipoproteinas de muito baixa densidade, nao houve diferencas significativas para ambiente e idade. Observou-se interacao significativa entre ambiente e idade para os valores de colesterol e lipoproteinas de baixa densidade. Aos 21 dias de idade o colesterol e as LDL-C foram maiores nas aves em estresse comparados aquelas do tratamento controle, o que nao ocorreu nas demais idades. A aspartato aminotransferase nos frangos sob estresse ciclico de calor foi maior em comparacao ao tratamento controle e apresentou efeito cubico para ambiente. A idade das aves influenciou os valores de proteinas totais, albumina, globulina, albumina: globulina, creatinina, gama glutamiltransferase e das lipoproteinas de alta densidade. Conclui-se que o estresse ciclico de calor por uma hora, a 36oC, do 16o ao 42o dia de idade aumenta aspartato aminotransferase, enquanto colesterol e LDL-C sao aumentados somente aos 21 dias, indicando que as aves possam ter se adaptado. A idade influencia os valores de AST, GGT, creatinina, proteinas totais, albumina, globulinas, albumina:globulinas, colesterol, HDL-C e LDL-C.
Learning Approaches, Learning Difficulties and ACademic Performance of Undergraduate Students of Physiotherapy

A locally developed ‘Approaches to Learning Inventory (ALI)’ was administered to explore the learning difficulties and learning approaches of undergraduate students of Bachelor of Physiotherapy , College of Allied Health Sciences, Manipal. University examination marks of these students were also collected. Learning approach and learning difficulties were summarized by computing mean, standard deviation and percentage of students experiencing some of the academic and non-academic problems. Spearman’s correlation was computed between standardized scores of examination marks, learning approach and learning difficulty scale scores. Academic performance has shown significant negative correlation with surface approach and various problems of learners like fear of failure and lack of confidence, non-academic distracters and poor English language ability. This study demonstrated significant positive association between surface approach and various problems of the learners. The students have also reported a number of academic and non-academic problems.
Are Customers Ready to use Mobile Technology for Banking Transactions? An investigation

Universally, a new business model is taking over the decisions in the banking industry incorporating mobile applications on smartphones. It is slated to organically change the business value proposition. Mobile devices, it is reported, are poised even to subtly replace the traditional banking operations and processes. Gartner’s Hype Cycle for mobile applications already in 2008 predicted mass institutionalization for Mobile Banking as late in 2015-16 (Gartner, 2008). A few thinkers estimated tech-savvy consumers and wireless technology to create markets ripe for Mobile Banking (Laukkanen and Lauronen, 2005). However, Mobile Banking’s wide adoption still remains low even within the established markets. This is contrary to the lusty dust that was raised within research and practice for long. Regarding the US market primarily, only 9 percent of the consumers in 2012 used mobile financial services (TNS Infratest Global and Kantar, 2012).
Mutual Exclusivity of MED12/MED12L, MED13/13L, and CDK8/19Paralogs Revealed within the CDK-Mediator Kinase Module

The macromolecular complex Mediator plays important roles in regulation of RNA Polymerase II (RNAPII) activity by DNA-binding proteins, non-coding RNAs, and chromatin. Structural and biochemical studies have shown that human Mediator exists in two forms; a core complex of 26 proteins, termed Mediator, and a larger complex containing the CDK8 kinase module, termed CDK8-Mediator. Interestingly, 3 subunits of the kinase module have undergone independent gene duplications in vertebrates to generate the paralog pairs MED12/MED12L, MED13/ MED13L, and CDK8/CDK19. Each has been shown to interact with Mediator, yet clearly defining the composition of CDK kinase module has been challenging due to the large size (~600 kD), the similarities between paralogs, and potential combinatorial nature of complexes. In this study, we performed a systematic proteomic analysis using HaloTag technology to isolate each kinase module member (MED12, MED12L, MED13, MED13L, CDK8, CDK19, and Cyclin C) and their interacting partners from HEK293T cells. Using LC-MS/MS we were able to differentiate paralogs within samples by specific analysis of unique peptides. We found that the paralogs assemble into CDKMediator in a mutually exclusive fashion, thus allowing for up to eight different assemblies of the CDK module, with potential for functional specialization of Mediator complexes. Interestingly, we found thatMED13L complexes carry the MED26 subunit, which has been shown to be either absent or in very low abundance in CDK-Mediator. This unique variant of the Mediator complex may reconcile recent observations demonstrating roles for MED26 and CDK8 in positive control of RNAPII elongation. Together these data expand the understanding of CDK-Mediator complexes and composition.
Why students withdraw or continue their educational careers: a closer look at differences in study approaches and personal reasons

The central goal of this study is to gain insight into students' study approach, their personal reasons and the relations between them regarding students who continue or withdraw from the educational system within one year. Results of our questionnaire study show that students who continue their educational careers show higher scores on a meaningful integrative study approach when entering higher education, than students who withdraw. Our questionnaire on personal reasons for withdrawal revealed three scales: (1) perception and experience of educational and organisational aspects, (2) pragmatic and personal circumstances, and (3) loss of interest in the future occupations. Personal reasons for continuing also produced three scales: (1) perception and experience of learning environment quality, (2) pragmatic and personal orientation, and (3) future occupational identity. Withdrawing students' scores on meaningful integrative study approach are negatively related to perception and experience of educational and organisational aspects, whereas the superficial study approach positively correlates with pragmatic and personal circumstances. With regard to students who continue, high scores on the meaningful integrative study approach relate positively to all three reasons: future occupational identity, perception and experience of learning environment quality and pragmatic and personal orientation.
A new species of Chaetothyrina on branches of mango, and introducing Phaeothecoidiellaceae fam. nov.

The new family Phaeothecoidiellaceae, introduced in this paper, comprises several species which cause sooty blotch and flyspeck diseases of several economic fruits. This results in quality issues with fruits and plants, due to the black thallus and small black dots coating the surface. Most species of Phaeothecoidiellaceae are biotrophs and are unculturable without the host material, and direct-sequencing is difficult because of the very small and flattened thyriothecia. Therefore, this fungal group is relative poorly known due to limited sampling and few in-depth studies. "Microthyriales"-like taxa appearing as small black dots on the surface of mango trees were collected in northern Thailand. Taxa were studied based on morphological characters and molecular analyses. Maximum likelihood and Bayesian analyses of combined ITS, LSU and SSU sequence data, indicated that the collection from branches of mango is a previously undescribed species. The new species, Chaetothyrina guttulata, is introduced in this paper with descriptions and illustrations.
Deep divers in even deeper seas: habitat use of male southern elephant seals from Marion Island

Abstract We describe the habitat use of 22 male southern elephant seals (Mirounga leonina) satellite tagged at Marion Island between 2004 and 2008. While a few areas of increased utilization appeared to be associated with areas of shallower bathymetry (such as sea-floor ridges and fracture zones), seals in our study did not target other areas of shallow bathymetry within close proximity to Marion Island. Rather, most elephant seals foraged pelagically over very deep water where much variation was evident in diel vertical migration strategies. These strategies resulted in generally deeper and longer dives than what has been reported for male elephant seals from other colonies. No significant differences were recorded for dive durations or dive depths between adults and sub-adults. However, younger animals displayed a positive relationship between dive durations and age, as well as between dive depths and age, while these relationships became negative for older animals. Mixed model outputs suggested that seals increased their aerobic fitness as migrations progressed, enabling them to undertake longer dives. We conclude that Marion Island male elephant seals exhibit much variability in dive strategy and are seemingly capable of exploiting a range of different prey types occurring in various depth layers.
