Results of Body Composition Improvement by High Caloric-Tofu Intake—At the Start of the Experiment, at the End, and Six Months after the End for the Case of Adolescents

The previous paper by Naomi Katayama et al. reported the effect of high caloric-tofu on the young people [1] and elderly people [2]. And the body composition was improved by elderly people and young people eating high caloric-tofu for 2 months. In both paper reports, both participates decreased body fat and increased body protein. Therefore, in this research, we decided to investigate young people who can keep their body composition after six months to stop eating high caloric-tofu. The ten young people (9 male, one female: from age 19 years old to 22 years old) who submitted the written consent of the subject participated in this study. We performed the gene analysis (β3AR, UCP1, β2AR) of the subject. The subject lived a normal life every day. The subject had eaten two caloric-tofu a day. A caloric-tofu has 100 kcal. The subject participated in a study for two months. As for the subject, body composition was measured on the first day and the last day of the study. As a result, skeletal muscle rates of eight people increased slightly, and body fat rate decreased slightly. However, two people did not change neither the skeletal muscle rate nor the fat rate. Body composition of the eight participants who were effective by this experiment was not kept after six months to stop this study. Six months after the end of the intervention for the participants, the body composition became worse. In this study, participants could temporarily change their behavior but could not continue this condition. It will be necessary to increase the number of participants more, and to examine it in detail in future. We also need to investigate a wide range of age groups. We thought in future that an effect might appear by doing nourishment instruction based on a result of the gene analysis.
Testing for Jump Spillovers Without Testing for Jumps

Abstract This article develops statistical tools for testing conditional independence among the jump components of the daily quadratic variation, which we estimate using intraday data. To avoid sequential bias distortion, we do not pretest for the presence of jumps. If the null is true, our test statistic based on daily integrated jumps weakly converges to a Gaussian random variable if both assets have jumps. If instead at least one asset has no jumps, then the statistic approaches zero in probability. We show how to compute asymptotically valid bootstrap-based critical values that result in a consistent test with asymptotic size equal to or smaller than the nominal size. Empirically, we study jump linkages between US futures and equity index markets. We find not only strong evidence of jump cross-excitation between the SPDR exchange-traded fund and E-mini futures on the S&P 500 index, but also that integrated jumps in the E-mini futures during the overnight period carry relevant information. Supplementary materials for this article are available as an online supplement.
Correlation of Serum Level of Interleukin-6 and Disease Activity with Bone-resorption Activity in Premenopausal Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients

Background: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic, systemic disease characterized by inflammation and cellular proliferation in the synovial lining of joints that can ultimately result in cartilage and bone destruction.Patients with RA are at increased risk of osteoporotic fractures in both axial and appendicular bones. Several cytokines are involved in the pathogenesis of osteoporotic RA patients, including tumor necrosis factor α, interleukin (IL)-1, IL-6, and IL-17. Among these cytokines, IL-6 has a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of increased bone resorption in postmenopausal RA patients. There are currently scarce data concerning this process in premenopausal RA patients.Objective: To determine the correlation of serum level IL-6 and disease activity with bone-resorption activity in premenopausal RA patients. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study with consecutive sampling method conducted at the Division of Rheumatology, Cipto Mangunkusumo General Hospital from June until August 2010. Bone-resorption activity was quantified using serum C-terminal crosslinking telopeptide of type I collagen (CTx-I) level, while disease activity was assessed using the 28-joint disease activity (DAS28) score. Statistical analysis was performed to investigate the correlation of serum IL-6 level and disease activity with serum CTx-I level.Results: There were 38 patients enrolled in this study. Mean serum level of IL-6 was 10.99 pg/mL (SD 16.06). Mean serum level of CTx-I was 405.37 pg/mL (SD 199.32). There was no significant correlation (p = 0.252) between serum IL-6 level with serum CTx-I level;however, a significant correlation existed (r = 0.389, p = 0.033) among seropositive patients. There was no significant correlation (p = 0.257) between the DAS28score with serum CTx-I level.Conclusion: There were no significant correlation either of serum IL-6 level or disease activity with serum CTx-I level among patients in this study
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN TRANSFORMATIONAL LEADERSHIP AND ORGANIZATION CITIZENSHIP BEHAVIOUR (OCB) IN SME’S SECTOR OF PAKISTAN

Current research study investigate the relationship between different attributes of transformational leadership and organization citizenship behaviour (OCB). For this purpose data was obtained from manufacturing sector of SME’s in KPK and Islamabad area. Researchers used adopted version of questionnaires to measure transformational leadership and OCB of employees. OCB construct was checked through Confirmatory Factor analysis (CFA). While relationship between dependent and independent variables was measured through simple and multiple regression analysis. Results indicate that High performance is the highest significant predictor of employees citizenship behaviour showing positive relationship (B=0.437, & p=.000) followed by group goal attribute (B=0.398 & p=.000). While the relationship between Individualized consideration as well as intellectual stimulation have significant but negative relationship (B = -0.097 p=0.001 and B= -0.141 p=0.030). Finding indicate that employees can perform in any culture that only suits to their survival. But if employees are given the confidence as well as their individual need is assist by the leaders than the outcome will be highly motivated workforce.
A Modelling Approach for Assessing the Hydrogeological Equilibrium of the Karst, Coastal Aquifer of the Salento Peninsula (Southeastern Italy): Evaluating the Effects of a MAR Facility for Wastewater Reuse

The Salento Peninsula is characterized by poor surface water resources, due to the karstic nature of its territory. On the other hand, important groundwater resources are located in the deep, karst, coastal aquifer, which is of strategic importance for the economic and social development of the area. The increasing water demand, however, if not properly managed may pose serious problems to the hydrogeological equilibrium of this aquifer, which is highly susceptible to natural and anthropogenic changes and to saltwater intrusion. Taking steps from the previous works, the present paper focuses on the characterization of the deep aquifer of the Adriatic portion of the Salento Peninsula from a quantitative point of view by means of modelling tools for the simulation of groundwater dynamics. Conclusions about the extent of the saltwater intrusion phenomenon are consequently inferred. As a result of the implementation of a density-dependent flow model, the lateral extent of such phenomenon and the vertical depth of the transition zone between freshwater and saltwater were inferred, highlighting also the role of major faults which characterize the hydraulic behaviour of the karst system under exam. The model was also applied to design a Managed Aquifer Recharge facility for management and protection of the hydrogeological equilibrium of the deep aquifer. Its positive effects on the advancement of the saline front were highlighted. Model results also allowed identifying areas where the lack of data prevents a proper comprehension of the hydrogeological processes investigated, thus representing a supporting tool for planning further monitoring campaigns.
Temperature Sensitivity of Multicrystalline Silicon Solar Cells

This paper presents an experimental investigation of the temperature coefficients of multicrystalline silicon solar cells. The aim was to determine if some cell parameters can affect positively the temperature sensitivity without detrimental impact on the efficiency. Commercial solar cells with different bulk resistivities, compensation levels, and cell architectures have been studied. We report that the base net doping, the location of the solar cell along the brick and the cell architecture have significant impacts on the temperature coefficients. Moreover, we show how the change in recombination mechanisms along the ingot height affects the temperature coefficients. The compensation level was observed to have no significant effect on the temperature coefficients. We also demonstrate why aluminum back-surface-field and passivated emitter rear contact solar cells have similar temperature sensitivities despite a better passivation and higher open-circuit voltage for the latter cell architecture. Finally, we have found that reducing the bulk resistivity can improve the solar cells’ performance in hot climates.
Barriers in Dental Care Delivery for Children with Special Needs in
 Chennai, India: A Mixed Method Research

Purpose: The study aimed to assess the barriers faced by children with disability, both qualitatively and quantitatively, from the perspectives of caregivers and dental practitioners. Methods : A concurrent mixed method design was used. A sample of 195 dentists and 100 caregivers was selected through convenience sampling. A pre-validated questionnaire was used to assess the barriers faced by the children with disability in their care. Focus group discussions and in-depth interviews were conducted with caregivers. Descriptive statistics were computed using SPSS version 20 and thematic analysis of qualitative data was done using NVivo software. Results: 195 dentists and 100 caregivers responded to the survey. Majority of practising dentists (83.7%) reported inadequate training in handling children with special needs, while caregivers (38%) reported fear of dentist among the children as major barriers experienced in utilising dental services. Conclusion and Implications: This study helps to identify the barriers faced by children with special healthcare needs. The findings highlight the need for hands-on training to be incorporated into the dental curriculum. It also suggests that improvements be made in dental clinics to accommodate these children in comfort. Due to limitations of the study, it is suggested that there is a need for further longitudinal studies that involve other family members of children with disability.
Understanding Antecedents of Agile Software Development Methodology Preferences

This study, using a grounded theory methodology, develops a theory of antecedents for the preference of Agile Information Systems Development. The theory emerges from data collected in the form of interviews with a variety of different software developers. Grounded theory practices of coding transcripts into increasing levels of abstraction led to the formation of constructs and their relationships that make up the theory. Understanding the antecedents of preference for agile software development has important application to management of software development projects. This understanding can lead to more effective formation of teams, better training for developers faced with integrating agile methods into their software development practice on upcoming or current projects. Knowing the factors that software developers find appealing can also assist teams to optimize their software development efforts by focusing on the key components of agile that make it desirable. Analyzing the data revealed that three broad categories or themes lead to increased preference for agile methods. One of the key factors is self-efficacy. Software developers felt that using agile methods made them effective and efficient. They felt that they produced higher quality software for their customers. And they felt that the agile approach fit better with the reality of changing requirements and customer the customer desire to see and experience the software faster than with the longer cycles of traditional Waterfall methodology. In addition to self-efficacy, affective response emerged as another key factor for preference of agile methods. Developers consistently expressed that they were more engaged, felt a sense of accomplishment, experienced increased confidence and had a better work-life balance when using agile software development methods. These emotional benefits attracted software developers to agile methods. The other category is intra-inter personal effects. Developers said communication within the team, with stakeholders and particularly customers were improved with agile methods. The short cycle with quicker delivery allowed customers to provide faster and more meaningful feedback. The daily stand-up meetings that were common among participants
Taxonomy and conservation of grassland earless dragons: new species and an assessment of the first possible extinction of a reptile on mainland Australia

Taxonomic research is of fundamental importance in conservation management of threatened species, providing an understanding of species diversity on which management plans are based. The grassland earless dragon lizards (Agamidae: Tympanocryptis) of southeastern Australia have long been of conservation concern but there have been ongoing taxonomic uncertainties. We provide a comprehensive taxonomic review of this group, integrating multiple lines of evidence, including phylogeography (mtDNA), phylogenomics (SNPs), external morphology and micro X-ray CT scans. Based on these data we assign the lectotype of T. lineata to the Canberra region, restrict the distribution of T. pinguicolla to Victoria and name two new species: T. osbornei sp. nov. (Cooma) and T. mccartneyi sp. nov. (Bathurst). Our results have significant conservation implications. Of particular concern is T. pinguicolla, with the last confident sighting in 1969, raising the possibility of the first extinction of a reptile on mainland Australia. However, our results are equivocal as to whether T. pinguicolla is extant or extinct, emphasizing the immediate imperative for continued surveys to locate any remaining populations of T. pinguicolla. We also highlight the need for a full revision of conservation management plans for all the grassland earless dragons.

Self-Regulation Skills and Test Anxiety of Senior High School Students

The purpose of the study was to investigate the self-regulation skills of high school students and to reveal the relationship between self-regulation skills and test anxiety. In this study, a survey method was used. The “Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire” and “Test Anxiety Inventory” were used as the data collection tools. The findings of the study indicated that the self-regulation skills of students differed significantly according to the gender, the frequency of reading books, watching TV and using social media. While the test anxiety scores of the participants did not differ significantly according to frequency of watching TV and using social media but in terms of the gender and the frequency of reading books. Furthermore, current study concluded that there was a low and negative relationship between self-regulation skills and test anxiety.
Metacognitions of substance-addicted patients compared to individuals without a diagnosis of a psychiatric disorder

In order to better understand the cognitive and adaptive functioning of the human mind, it is aimed to examine the relationship between the metacognitive problems and dependence associated problems of individuals with substance dependence by comparing the metacognition of the substance-dependent individuals to that of the individuals without a diagnosis of a psychiatric disorder. The study included 34 patients under treatment with the diagnosis of substance dependence and 34 non-patient individuals without any substance dependence diagnosis. A sociodemographic information form, The Metacognitions Questionnaire-30 published in 2008, and The Addiction Profile Index published in 2012 were used for the assessments in the study. The data produced by the administration of the scales were evaluated statistically using descriptive methods. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov distribution test was used for evaluating whether the data conform to a normal distribution. The t-test was used for comparing the parameters between the groups. The Pearson Correlation Analysis was used for comparing the differences between the scales. The study results demonstrated that the metacognition questionnaire scores of the patients being treated at the hospital for the diagnosis of substance dependence disorder were higher compared to those of the individuals without a psychiatric disorder. In regard to the assessment of the sub-dimensions of metacognition; the scores of the following subscales including the uncontrollability and danger, cognitive self- consciousness, and the need to control thoughts were higher in the substance dependent group compared to the control group. These results indicate that substance use has a negative impact on metacognition. It has also been determined that the metacognition of the negative beliefs about the uncontrollability of thoughts and danger, the positive beliefs about worry and the beliefs about the need to control thoughts were associated with the substance use characteristics and the frequencies of use. The study results suggest that the metacognitive processes and their sub-dimensions are important factors in the diagnosis and treatment of substance dependence; therefore, they should be considered to gain an insight into these processes.
Evaluation of p16/Ki-67 Dual Staining Compared with HPV Genotyping in Anal Cytology with Diagnosis of ASC-US for Detection of High-Grade Anal Intraepithelial Lesions

Introduction: Human Papillomavirus (HPV) infection is the main risk factor for anogenital cancer. The objective of this study was to compare p16/Ki-67 dual staining to HPV genotyping in anal cytology samples with an atypical squamous cell of undetermined significance (ASC-US) for the identification of high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL). Methods: Anal cytology samples with an ASC-US result (n = 111) were collected from patients of a university hospital (Lyon, France) from 2014 to 2015. Cases with remaining squamous cells (n = 82) were stained using p16/Ki-67 dual staining (CINtec-Plus kit) and analyzed for HPV screening (CLART2-PCR kit) using a composite endpoint of biopsy and cytology results on follow-up specimens. Results: Detection of HSIL on follow-up specimens (5/22 biopsies; 1/29 cytology samples) was obtained in two out of six cases with p16/Ki-17 versus. five out of six with HPV genotyping alone. Sensitivity and specificity to detect HSIL for p16/Ki-67 was 33% (95% confidence interval [CI] [4; 77]) and 49% (95%CI [34; 64]) versus. 83% (95%CI [36; 99.6]) and 13% (95%CI [5; 27]) for HPV genotyping. Conclusion: Herein, HPV genotyping was more sensitive but less specific than p16/Ki-67 staining for the detection of subsequent HSIL in ASC-US anal cytology. A larger study is required to evaluate the combination of these biomarkers for triage.
Czech–Polish Cross-Border (Non) Cooperation in the Field of the Labor Market: Why Does It Seem to Be Un-De-Bordered?

The Czech–Polish border is almost 800 kilometres long. Since 1991, 6 Euroregions and two European Groupings of Territorial Co-operation (EGTC) were created and have been conducting cross-border cooperation (CBC) along the entire length of the border. This was probably also the institutionalisation of cross-border co-operation, what has helped to reach and maintain a high level of mutual Czech–Polish relations. What can therefore be considered striking or surprising is a rather low level of cross-border labor mobility between the labor forces of both countries. Authors therefore attempted to identify projects and initiatives in the field of the cross-border labor market along the entire border. Research showed that the CBC stakeholders don’t prioritise co-operation in the field of the labor market, as they don’t see any real cross-border demand. There are some exceptions, driven mainly by the automotive and mining industries in Czechia attracting a Polish workforce. The main reason for the relatively low level of Czech–Polish cross-border co-operation in the field of the labor market is an absence of a major economic engine on either side of the border, rather than any kind of hostile or re-bordering sentiments in mutual relations between subjects from both countries.
External Morphological Study of Wild Labeo calbasu with Reference to Body Weight' Total Length and Condition Factor from the River Chenab, Punjab, Pakistan

115 samples of Labeo calbasu ranged 8.0-17.9cm length with mean11.90±1.96 and 4.9-68.5g weight with mean 22.25±12.54 from the River Chenab, Southern Punjab, Pakistan were analyzed to investigate length-weight relationships (LWR) of fish in relation to condition factor (K). Standard length (SL), fork length (FL), head length (HL) head width (HW), body girth (BG), dorsal fin length (DFL), dorsal fin base (DFB), pectoral fin length (PcFL), pelvic fin length (PvFL) and anal fin length (AFL) are found to be highly correlated with increasing total length and wet body weight (r > 0.500). Wet body weight has positive (r=0.540) and total length has no correlation (r=0.344) with calculated Condition factor (K). The slope “b” in the relationship is 3.27 and intercepts -2.2258. Keywords—Labeo calbasu, Length-weight relationship, Body weight, condition factor
Research opportunities considering student entrepreneurship in university ecosystems

We consider the under-explored phenomenon of student entrepreneurship and suggest avenues for future research across different levels of analysis. Taking a university entrepreneurial eco-system approach, we unpick the various elements that may contribute towards local economic development and discuss how they may interrelate. We draw upon theoretical constructs from organisational behaviour, education and psychology and show that studying student entrepreneurship offers great potential to contribute to the fields of entrepreneurship and management.
