Zircon U‐Pb ages and Hf isotopes of the Askot klippe, Kumaun, northwest India: Implications for Paleoproterozoic tectonics, basin evolution and associated metallogeny of the northern Indian cratonic margin

Throughout the Himalayan thrust belt, klippen of questionable tectonostratigraphic affinity occur atop Lesser Himalayan rocks. Integrated U‐Pb ages, Hf isotopic, and whole rock trace element data establish that the Askot klippe, in northwest India, is composed of Paleoproterozoic lower Lesser Himalayan rocks, not Greater Himalayan rocks, as previously interpreted. The Askot klippe consists of 1857 ± 19 Ma granite‐granodiorite gneiss, coeval 1878 ± 19 Ma felsic volcanic rock, and circa 1800 Ma Berinag quartzite, representing a small vestige of a Paleoproterozoic (circa 1850 Ma) continental arc, formed on northern margin of the north Indian cratonic block. Detrital zircon from Berinag quartzite shows εHf1850 Ma values between −9.6 and −1.1 (an average of −4.5) and overlaps with εHf1850 Ma values of the Askot klippe granite‐granodiorite gneiss (−5.5 to −1.2, with an average of −2.7) and other Paleoproterozoic arc‐related Lesser Himalayan granite gneisses ( −4.8 to −2.2, with an average of −4.0). These overlapping data suggest a proximal arc source for the metasedimentary rocks. Subchondritic εHf1850 Ma values (−5.5 to −1.2) of granite‐granodiorite gneiss indicate existence of a preexisting older crust that underwent crustal reworking at circa 1850 Ma. A wide range of εHf1850 Ma values in detrital zircon (−15.0 to −1.1) suggests that a heterogeneous crustal source supplied detritus to the northern margin of India. These data, as well as the presence of a volcanogenic massive sulphide deposit within the Askot klippe, are consistent with a circa 1800 Ma intra‐arc extensional environment.
Understanding Emotion in Adolescents: A Review of Emotional Frequency, Intensity, Instability, and Clarity

Adolescence is a time of transition from childhood to adulthood during which significant changes occur across multiple domains, including emotional experience. This article reviews the relevant literature on adolescents’ experience of four specific dimensions of emotion: emotional frequency, intensity, instability, and clarity. In an effort to examine how emotional experiences change as individuals approach adulthood, we examine these dimensions across ages 10 to 19, and review how the emotional functioning of adolescents compares to that of adults. In addition, we explore whether and how gender and puberty explain age differences in emotional experience. Finally, we discuss how these findings could inform future research on both the typical trajectory of emotional experience and the development of psychopathology in adolescence.
Image Retrieval System based on Color Global and Local Features Combined with GLCM for Texture Features

In CBIR (content-based image retrieval) features are extracted based on color, texture, and shape. There are many factors affecting the accuracy (precision) of retrieval such as number of features, type of features (local or global), color model, and distance measure. In this paper, a two phases approach to retrieve similar images from data set based on color and texture is proposed. In the first phase, global color histogram is utilized with HSV (hue, saturation, and value) color model and an automatic cropping technique is proposed to accelerate the process of features extraction and enhances the accuracy of retrieval. Joint histogram and GLCM (gray-level co-occurrence matric) are deployed in phase two. In this phase, color features and texture features are combined to enhance the accuracy of retrieval. Finally, a new way of using K-means as clustering algorithm is proposed to classify and retrieve images. Two experiments are conducted using WANG database. WANG database consists of 10 different classes each with 100 images. Results of comparing the proposed approach with the most relevant approaches are promising.
Musculoskeletal Load Assessment in Hospital Nurses with Patient Transfer Activity

Manual patient handling is known to be the major source of musculoskeletal load among hospital nurses. The objectives of the present study were determination of frequency of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) and its associated factors together with assessment of musculoskeletal load due to patient transfer by PTAI method in hospital nursing staff of Shiraz University of Medical Sciences (SUMS), Iran. In this crosssectional study, 400 randomly selected nurses of SUMS hospital participated. Data were collected by anonymous demographic and Nordic Musculoskeletal Disorders Questionnaires together with PTAI index checklist. Statistical analyses were undertaken using SPSS, version 16. Age and job tenure means of participants were 30.76±6.44 and 6.92±5.75 years, respectively. 88.2% of the nursing staff reported some forms of musculoskeletal symptoms during the 12 months prior to the study. The results of PTAI index assessment demonstrated that in 4%, 8.5% and 87.5% of the subjects, musculoskeletal load were at levels 1, 2 and 3, respectively. The results revealed that PTAI index score was significantly associated with musculoskeletal disorders occurrence ( p <0.001). Musculoskeletal load was high among nurses with patient transfer activity. Age, nurse to bed ratio, marital status, shift work and PTAI score were associated risk factors for MSDs in the studied nursing staff.

Prevalence of enteric parasitic diseases among patients referred at a teaching hospital in Kenya

Aim: Enteric parasitic diseases pose a serious public health problem worldwide and yet are neglected. To refocus attention on these diseases, a cross-sectional study was conducted to assess the prevalence of enteric infections in patients referred to referral hospital in Kenya. Materials and Methods: This study was conducted from April to December 2015 and involved a randomly selected sample of 185 patients. Fecal specimens were collected and delivered to laboratory for analysis. Preliminary macroscopic assessment of specimens for segments, larvae, and adult stages was done. To confirm the presence of ova, trophozoites, cysts, and oocysts, direct wet smear, formol–ether concentration, and modified Ziehl–Neelsen techniques were used. Results: Overall prevalence of 46.5% of enteric parasitic diseases was confirmed. Highest and lowest prevalence was due to protozoans and helminthes, respectively. Protozoan parasite prevalence was Entamoeba histolytica (23.9%), Cryptosporidium parvum (13%), Entamoeba coli (6.5%), Giardia lamblia (6.5%), and Iodamoeba butschlii (6.5%). Helminth prevalence was Ascaris lumbricoides (1.6%), Hymenolepis nana, Trichuris trichiura, and Ancylostoma duodenale each (0.5%). There was no significant difference in prevalence in age groups and gender (P = 0.05). Females were at the highest risk of C. parvum infection. Polyparasitism was prevalent among protozoans than helminthes. Conclusion: High prevalence of protozoan infections was observed among referred patients in comparison to helminthiasis. Based on reported multiple infections, deworming programs targeting helminthiasis should be restructured to incorporate diagnosis and treatment of enteric protozoan infections to reduce prevalence of enteric parasitic infections.
Combined Digital Photogrammetry and Time‐of‐Flight Laser Scanning for Monitoring Cliff Evolution

Although cliffs form approximately 75% of the world's coastline, the understanding of the processes through which they evolve remains limited because of a lack of quantitative data on the morphological changes they undergo. In this paper the combination of terrestrial time‐of‐flight laser scanning with high‐resolution digital photogrammetry is examined to generate high‐quality data‐sets pertaining to the geomorphic processes governing cliff development. The study was undertaken on a section of hard rock cliffs in North Yorkshire, UK, which has been monitored over a 12‐month period. High‐density, laser‐scanned point clouds have been used to produce an accurate representation of these complex surfaces, free from the optical variations that degrade photographic data. These data‐sets have been combined with high‐resolution photographic monitoring, resampled with the fixed accuracies of the terrestrial laser survey, to generate a new approach to recording the volumetric changes in complex coastal cliffs. This has led to significant improvements in the understanding of the activity patterns of coastal cliffs.
Cooperation in Mixed–Motive Games: The Role of Individual Differences in Selfish and Social Orientation

In mixed–motive games, people must choose between acting upon selfish interests and concerns for others. Yet, the consistency of people's behaviour across these various games is still unclear. If the same conflict between self and others is at the core of all mixed–motive situations, three hypotheses can be stated: (1) behaviours in different mixed–motive games should be substantially related; (2) all these games should substantially appeal to dispositional variables that probe in the psychological conflict between self and others; and (3) these dispositional variables should explain the shared variance among various games. These hypotheses were tested among undergraduate students (N = 219) who played seven different single–shot mixed–motive games and one sequential game. Social Value Orientation and the ideological attitudes Social Dominance Orientation and Right–Wing Authoritarianism were included as dispositions. Our findings, however, showed evidence that did not fully substantiate our hypotheses, which calls into question the general idea that all mixed–motive games render the conflict between selfish interests and concern for others salient. In the discussion, we focus on implications for research on mixed–motive situations and elaborate on the role of ideology in this domain.

Twenty years of multi-level governance: ‘Where Does It Come From? What Is It? Where Is It Going?’

In two decades since the Maastricht Treaty, multi-level governance (MLG) has developed as a conceptual framework for profiling the ‘arrangement’ of policy-making activity performed within and across politico-administrative institutions located at different territorial levels. This contribution examines the ways in which the MLG literature has been employed, effectively taking stock of applied research to date. It identifies five main uses of MLG and the different focus of emerging research over time. Considering the most recent scholarship, the contribution explores possible new directions for research, in light of global governance, culminating in a ‘bird's eye view’ of MLG over 20 years.
An Investigation of Transfer Learning Mechanism for Acoustic Scene Classification

One main challenge for acoustic scene classification (ASC) is there are remarkable overlaps and similarities between different acoustic scenes. However, the most existing ASC tasks are always lack of adequate training data to well distinguish different classes, especially in the deep learning approaches, such as using convolutional neural network (CNN). Motivated by the success of the transfer learning mechanism from the image classification task (e.g., ImageNet) with a large amount of training data to other computer vision tasks with less training data [1], in this study we investigate the possibility of transfer learning between two quite different classification tasks with the inputs of 2D image signals and 1D audio signals. One strong motivation behind this is the spectrograms of the audio signal can be also considered as the 2D images which are potentially have the similar structures to those samples in the image classification task. Specifically, we conduct the transfer learning mechanism by adopting the pre-trained CNNs with different architectures from the ImageNet task to the DCASE2018 ASC subtask A. Furthermore, by leveraging more input channels and training data fragments, the classification accuracy of our proposed system is increased from 59.7% to 77.8% on the evaluation set, in comparison to the officially provided CNN system trained using only audio data.
Hospitalized pediatric antituberculosis drug induced hepatotoxicity: Experience of an Indonesian referral hospital

Childhood TB along with the adverse effect of its treatment is a major health burden. Approximately one million children were diagnosed with TB worldwide in 2014, with Indonesia ranking second after India amongst countries with the highest burden of TB in the world[1]. Antituberculosis drugs are proved effective to eradicate TB, although they can cause some serious adverse events, namely, gastrointestinal disturbances, hepatotoxicity, rash, and fever[2,3]. Recently, the new increased dosage recommendations of the essential antituberculosis drugs (isoniazid, rifampicin and pyrazinamide) by the World Health Organization in 2010, although effective and well-tolerated by children, have also raised concerns regarding antituberculosis drug induced hepatotoxicity (ADIH) [4]. Adverse effects of antituberculosis drug such as hepatotoxicity may potentially cause significant morbidity and mortality as well as affect treatment compliance and outcome of TB treatment[3,5]. Isoniazid, rifampicin and pyrazinamide could all potentially cause varying severity of hepatotoxicity[1,3]. Hepatotoxicity, a serious and often fatal side effect of TB treatment, is otherwise known as ADIH/ ATDIH[2,6], drug-induced hepatic injury[7], antituberculosis drug induced liver injury (DILI)[8,9], and antituberculosis drug induced hepatitis[10]. Clinical manifestation of ADIH could range from asymptomatic increase of serum transaminases and bilirubin, to acute liver failure[2,8,9]. The diagnosis of ADIH was made by the presence of clinical jaundice and/or raised serum total bilirubin level (> 1.5 mg/dL) and/or 3–5 fold rise of serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) above normal levels in patients receiving antituberculosis therapy, in exclusion of known viral hepatitis (HBV, HCV), chronic liver disease, and liver dysfunction due to any other hepatotoxic ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT
Variations on the CSC model

Over the past decade, the celebrated sparse representation model has achieved impressive results in various signal and image processing tasks. A convolutional version of this model, termed convolutional sparse coding (CSC), has been recently reintroduced and extensively studied. CSC brings a natural remedy to the limitation of typical sparse enforcing approaches of handling global and high-dimensional signals by local, patch-based, processing. While the classic field of sparse representations has been able to cater for the diverse challenges of different signal processing tasks by considering a wide range of problem formulations, almost all available algorithms that deploy the CSC model consider the same $\ell_1 - \ell_2$ problem form. As we argue in this paper, this CSC pursuit formulation is also too restrictive as it fails to explicitly exploit some local characteristics of the signal. This work expands the range of formulations for the CSC model by proposing two convex alternatives that merge global norms with local penalties and constraints. The main contribution of this work is the derivation of efficient and provably converging algorithms to solve these new sparse coding formulations.
THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN HR PRACTICES AND FIRM PERFORMANCE: EXAMINING CAUSAL ORDER

Significant research attention has been devoted to examining the relationship between HR practices and firm performance, and research support has assumed HR as the causal variable. Using data from 45 business units (with 62 data points), this study examines how measures of HR practices correlate with past, concurrent, and future operational performance measures. The results indicate that correlations with performance measures at all 3 times are both high and invariant, and that controlling for past or concurrent performance virtually eliminates the correlation of HR practices with future performance. Implications are discussed.
The Roles of In-Group Exemplars and Ethnic-Racial Identification in Self-Stereotyping

African Americans' self-concept is susceptible to pervasive cultural stereotypes. However, exposure to in-group exemplars such as Barack Obama as a prominent, admired African American may be accessible enough to attenuate the detrimental effects of stereotypes. In two experiments, African- American adolescent (Pilot Experiment) and adult (Main Experiment) participants were provided with information about outstanding successes and societal contributions of Obama as a single in-group exemplar (Pilot and Main Experiments) or multiple in-group exemplars (e.g., Obama, Oprah Winfrey; Main Experiment). Then, participants reported the extent to which they associated their self-concept with stereotypes. The Pilot Experiment supported an “Obama effect”—African-American adolescents exhibited less self-stereotyping after exposure to Obama, when compared to those in a control condition. The Main Experiment demonstrated that exposure to Obama or multiple exemplars yielded less self-stereotyping, but only among strongly.
Climacteric Review of Immediate Implant Placement and Complications

: Implant dentistry has become successful with the discovery of the biological properties of titanium. In the original protocol, studies have advocated a 2-stage surgical protocol for load-free and submerged healing to ensure predictable osseointegration. However, the discomfort, inconvenience, and anxiety associated with waiting period remains a challenge to both patients and clinicians. Hence, loading implant right after placement was attempted and has gained popularity among clinicians. Issues/ questions related to this approach remain unanswered. Therefore, it is the purpose of this review article to (1) review and analyze critically the current available literature in the field of immediate implant loading (2) discuss, based on scientific evidence, factors that may influence this treatment modality and (3)provide the useful information related to the complications of placement of dental implant immediately after tooth extraction into fresh socket.
Mysterious hidden order , superconductivity and magnetism of URu 2 Si 2

The term “Hidden Order” (HO), brought up ten years ago, has been used to describe unknown ordered state whose origin could not explained by conventional solid state probes and is able to prove superconductivity at lower temperature (Tc ≈ 1.5 K). This essay reviews the 25 years’ efforts to understand the continuous (second-order) and mean-field-like phase transition occurring at 17.5 K in URu2Si2 , known as HO, mainly through experimental phenomena, in particular, construction of the Fermi Surface (FS) and destroying HO via large magnetic field and Rh doping. Recent theoretical models will also be discussed at the end. ∗yfang10@illinois.edu
Criteria of Chaos for Discrete Dynamical Systems and Application of them to the Anti-control of Chaos

In this paper we study criteria of chaos for discrete dynamical systems governed by noninvertible maps and apply them to the anti-control of chaos. We get some criteria of chaos for discrete dynamical systems governed by noninvertible maps using the subshift in the space of one-side symbolic sequences, and discuss the structural stability of chaotic invariant subsets on a Riemann manifold, and generic chaos. And using these criteria of chaos, we get more generalized conditions to design a controller for the anti-control of chaos.
An Assessment of the Factors Affecting the Use of Mobile Banking in Tanzania: A Case Study of Stanbic Bank

: The main purpose of this study was to assess the factors that affect the use of Mobile banking in Tanzania. The specific objectives of this study were to: assess the influence of users’ perceived risk on the use of M-banking in Tanzania, and examine the effect of network coverage on the use of M-banking in Tanzania. This study employed a case study design using qualitative and quantitative approach. The population of the study was 4015 and samples of 150 respondents were used in this study. The study used questionnaire and interview in data collection. From the 150 questionnaires that were distributed, 120 were successfully returned but only 100 were usable for the analysis yielding a 66.7% response rate. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze the data. The analysis of the data was done with the help of the SPSS and Microsoft excel. The findings reveal that users’ perceived risks, lack of trust, security risks and poor network coverage are the key factors that negatively influenced the level of use of m-banking service. Security policy positively influenced the use of m-banking services. The study recommends the government and other stake holders to invest more on m-banking services and direct more effort on its security in order safeguard outside attacks on m-banking transaction in Tanzania.
We present early mid-Holocene records of Sr / Ca , d 18 O and d 18 Osw from marine archives collected in Vanuatu : two Porites sp . corals

[1] We present early mid-Holocene records of Sr/Ca, dO and dOsw from marine archives collected in Vanuatu: two Porites sp. corals (6.7–6.5 ka BP) and a Tridacna maxima giant clam (6.2–6.0 ka BP). Sr/Ca, dO, and dOsw were used as proxies for sea surface temperature (SST) and sea surface salinity (SSS). The fossil geochemical records were compared to modern Porites sp. and T. maxima records. Reconstructed mean SSTs from the two fossil Porites sp. and from the modern coral are similar, implying that the Western Pacific Warm Pool (WPWP)’ southern edge had reached its modern location by 6.7–6.5 ka BP. The post-glacial SST rise in the Southwest Pacific was thus completed by the early mid-Holocene. The two early mid-Holocene corals and the giant clam recorded saltier conditions than modern related to 1) a decoupling between the precipitation regime and the SPCZ due to a northerly position of this climatic feature and 2) an increase of the moisture transport to the extra-tropics, driven by a strengthened or extended Hadley cell. The longest dO coral profile displays an El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) signal reduced by 20–30% compared to the period 1928–1992, in concordance with the reduced ENSO variability observed in the Pacific area during the first half of the Holocene. However, the decoupling between the SPCZ and the precipitation regime may have also contributed to the weak ENSO signal recorded in the early mid-Holocene coral dO profile.
