“Reduce Food Waste, Save Money”: Testing a Novel Intervention to Reduce Household Food Waste

An intervention, which used elements of the theory of planned behavior, was developed and tested in a randomized control trial (RCT) involving households in the city of London, Ontario, Canada. A bespoke methodology involving the direct collection and measurement of food waste within curbside garbage samples of control (n = 58) and treatment households (n = 54) was used to evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention. A comparison of garbage samples before and after the intervention revealed that total food waste in treatment households decreased by 31% after the intervention and the decrease was significantly greater (p = .02) than for control households. Similarly, avoidable food waste decreased by 30% in treatment households and was also significantly greater (p = .05) than for control households. Key determinants of treatment household avoidable food waste reduction included personal attitudes, perceived behavioral control, the number of people in a household, and the amount of garbage set out.
Student perceptions of the Clip Chart Management System

by Karin D. Compise University of the Pacific 2019 Six children between the ages of seven and eleven and their parents were interviewed to gather perceptions of the Clip Chart Management System. The Clip Chart system is a behavior system used in many primary classrooms where teachers move students’ clothespins up and down a chart in response to students’ behavior. Some findings from this qualitative case study are: students experienced feelings of shame and embarrassment, students compared their clips to their peers’ clips, and students labeled other students as “bad. ” Some parents appreciated the consistency of behavior monitoring, but other parents felt that the system was ineffective and contributed to their child’s negative feelings about school. The findings of this study suggest the need for much more research if this method is continued to be implemented in schools.
Fundamental Analysis of Chinese Stock Market

I generate a fundamental signal library with more than 8000 fundamental signals by considering various combinations of the accounting variables in Chinese stock market. I take two standard approaches, time-series intercept tests and cross-sectional coeﬃcient tests, to identify anomalies from this signal library. I ﬁnd that 142 signals can pass both of the two tests even after accounting for sample variation with bootstrap. I also take several aggregation techniques to extract information from these 142 signals and ﬁnd that PCA (Principal Component Analysis) performs best. Furthermore, I construct a new factor based on the 142 signals and augment the Fama-French three-factor model to form a four-factor model (A4). The four-factor model performs better than Fama-French three-factor model, Carhart four-factor model, Q4 factor model, Fama-French ﬁve-factor model and at least as well as Fama-French six-factor model in terms of accomodating the hedge portfolio returns of over 8000 fundamental signals.
Engineering of material properties by adhesive selection at the example of a novel structural wood material

ABSTRACT The present study focused on the influence of adhesive selection on the properties of a novel structural wood composite using three different adhesive systems, namely polyurethane (PUR), phenol formaldehyde (PF) and polymeric methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (pMDI). As raw material spruce wood was used, which was disintegrated to macroscopic wood fibres, by means of a recently developed non-cutting disintegration process. These macro-fibres are oriented along the naturally grown fibre direction within a tree, have a high aspect ratio and correspondingly excellent mechanical properties together with a favourable density to strength ratio. These macro-fibres represent a challenging new surface for adhesive bonding. Depending on adhesive type, macro-fibre wood composites could be produced within a wide range of density spanning from 200 to 1300 kg/m3. Despite of adhesive type and corresponding process needed, density and the total amount of applied adhesive showed highest influence on mechanical and swelling behaviour.
Nanostructured polymeric system based of cashew gum for oral admnistration of insulin

The subcutaneous administration of insulin has been the treatment of millions of diabetics in the world. However, for such via insulin is invasive and not mimics the physiological action causing side effects. The oral route would be the most physiological and comfortable option, but the oral bioavailability of insulin is low by proteolytic activity and reduced permeability of the gastrointestinal tract. The aim of the study was to develop a nanostructured system integrating biomaterials for oral insulin delivery. Cashew gum (CG) is a polysaccharide extracted from the exudate of the plant Anacardium occidentale. It is a biopolymer composed of simple sugars and glucuronic acid and it can be used in nanostructured systems for the incorporation of molecules. The exudate was isolated, dissolved in water, filtered, precipitated in ethanol and purified. The CG was characterized by infrared spectroscopy and molecular weight by size exclusion chromatography. Nanoparticles were prepared through ionotropic gelation integrating cashew gum, dextran sulfate and poloxamer containing insulin stabilized with chitosan, poly(ethyleneglycol) and coated with albumin. The particles were analyzed for particle size, zeta potential and insulin entrapment efficiency. The FTIR spectrum for CG showed a band at 3395 cm-1 due to the stretching vibration of O-H, a band at 2926 cm-1 of C-H vibrations; absorption at 1639 cm-1 of O-H type from bound water molecules and bands at 1143, 1073 and 1024 cm-1 due vibrations of the C-O-C from glycosidic bonds and O-H of alcohols. The peak molar mass of GC was 2.35 × 104 g/mol. The particles had a size of 156 nm and after coating, size of 5387 nm with 92% insulin entrapment efficiency and zeta potential of -51 mV indicating electrostatic stabilization. The results suggest an innovative cashew gum base system for oral insulin administration. Keywords: Nanostructures, biomaterials, cashew gum, insulin, oral delivery.
Expanding Access to Universal Childcare: Effects on Childcare Arrangements and Maternal Employment

In most OECD countries, subsidised childcare is a key instrument to support maternal employment. Using a large reform implemented in Luxembourg in 2009, I study the effect of expanding access to subsidised childcare on childcare and employment decisions of women in a context where childcare is universal and heavily subsidised, but bound by capacity constraints. The identification relies on temporal variation across child age groups. The results show that, in response to the reform, the employment rate of mothers increased by 4-7 percentage points and their hours of work by around 3 hours per week. Studying heterogeneous effects reveals a differential impact of the reform for more vulnerable mothers. Parents whose youngest child is under the age of 3 are found to use more daycare services, for longer hours, while the use of informal care remains unchanged. These results suggest that there is no crowding out effect of the new policy.
Organizational socialization, psychological needs satisfaction and job outcomes : a moderated mediation model

La socialisation organisationnelle est un long processus a travers lequel les nouveaux venus apprennent tout ce qui concerne la nouvelle organisation dont ils deviendront membres. Les themes abordes concernaient : le nouveau travail, l’experience de la socialisation et les elements de motivation. Cette etude introduit la satisfaction du besoin psychologique comme resultat proximal de la socialisation organisationnelle, comme suggere dans l’etude 1. Le soutien social organisationnel, c’est-a-dire le role des agents de socialisation, a ete ajoute aux tactiques organisationnelles de socialisation comme variable independante. Afin de renforcer les resultats et pour prendre en compte les effets externes, deux variables moderatrices (le capital psychologique et la proactivite du nouveau venu) ont ete introduites. Une relation positive a ete trouvee entre les tactiques organisationnelles de socialisation et la satisfaction des besoins psychologiques, ce qui fait de cette derniere un resultat proximal de la socialisation. La performance au travail et l’implication affective sont positivement influencees par les tactiques organisationnelles de socialisation et le soutien social des agents de socialisation. Il a ete etabli que capital psychologique des nouveaux venus renforce les relations entre les tactiques organisationnelles de socialisation, le soutien social des agents de socialisation (variables independantes) et la satisfaction des besoins psychologiques ; egalement, la proactivite des nouveaux venus renforce les relations entre la satisfaction des besoins psychologiques et les variables dependantes a savoir la performance au travail et l’implication affective.
Effects of soil-structure interaction in seismic analysis of buildings with multiple pressurized tuned liquid column dampers

In this paper soil-structure interaction (SSI) effects are investigated while an array of Pressurized Tuned Liquid Column Dampers (PTLCD) is employed for seismic vibration control of buildings. This device represents the most general case of a passive damper, with different reduction options to other control devices obtained by simplifying the involved parameters. Soil conditions considerably affect the control device functioning, because dynamic parameters such as natural frequency, damping factor, and natural modes depend on the soil properties. A simplified mathematical model is developed for the building with multiple degrees of freedom connected to a flexible base. For the time-domain analysis, a computational routine is developed for the linearization of the equilibrium equations of the PTLCD, as well as details for the reduction to the other types of passive dampers. Several numerical examples are selected for the analysis of the damper efficiency in reducing seismic vibration considering SSI. These simulations include Kobe earthquake data, which is applied to the model to evaluate the device performance under different scenarios. It is verified the influence of SSI in the natural frequency and structural response, which is related to the earthquake frequency components. Results confirm that the array of PTLCD’s can reduce the vibration amplitudes, being more effective for soils with higher stiffness values.

Digital technologies and ‘value’ capture in global value chains: Empirical evidence from Indian manufacturing firms

This paper examines whether digitalization can be a driver of â€˜upgradingâ€™ in global value chains and help developing countries move into higher value-added activities. In particular, the paper provides empirical evidence on the impact of digital capabilities on product upgrading in Indian manufacturing firms participating in global value chains.Empirical analysis is undertaken on a panel of global value chain manufacturing firms in the period 2001â€“15, using the methodology of system generalized method-of-moments. Product upgrading is captured through a novel sales-weighted average product sophistication indicator at the firm level, while principal component analysis is used to construct a digital capability index that draws information on both â€˜hardâ€™ and â€˜softâ€™ digital assets of the firm. Empirical results suggest that an increase in digital capability of the firm has a significant and positive impact on its product sophistication, other things being constant.Firms with both high levels of digital capability and share of skilled labour are observed to have roughly 4â€“5 per cent higher product sophistication than firms with low levels of digital capability and skills. In addition, lagged product sophistication, size, industry concentration, and to some extent R&D, are also found to have a positive and significant impact on product sophistication of Indian global value chain firms.The paper further attempts to tie these empirical results to the global value chain governance literature, and advances the nexus of governance and digitalization as a key area of global value chain research.
Beyond the agrimafie-caporalato binary: the restructuring of agriculture in Central Italy and its implications on labour relations.

As in many other countries in the world, the Italian agricultural sector has witnessed a process of deep restructuring with the expansion of export-oriented production and the rise of global value chains in the agrifood sector. This paper argues that the new way of producing and delivering food, coupled with country-specific conditions, such as the structure of Italian agrarian capital, have created the room for new forms of exploitation, such as those based on seasonal migrant labour through practices of labour contracting and that sometimes amount to forms of 'modern slavery'. These new forms of exploitation are far from being exceptional. Although often associated with the territory control of Mafia organizations, this article argues that migrant labour exploitation through the labour contracting system is an integral feature of the contemporary agricultural production in Italy. This is shown through the case study of the fruit and vegetable production in the south area of Lazio region where firms can rely, through the role of labour contractors, on cheap and disposable migrant labour, especially Indian workers.
Assessing the quality of the income data used in SAMOD, a South African tax-benefit microsimulation model

In this paper we explore the income data in two surveys that underpin a South African tax-benefit microsimulation model. The simulated taxes and benefits using each dataset are compared with each other and with administrative data for a common time point. We explore discrepancies between the simulated and administrative data on personal income tax, with reference to the distribution of tax payers and the amount of tax simulated. Both surveys suffer from unit missing or item implausible cases for high income individuals. The paper concludes by highlighting the potential for administrative data to further enhance the quality of the model's underpinning dataset(s).

The audit supervision variable is a variable that moderates the effect of time budget pressure on audit quality, while the audit supervision variable is not a variable that moderates the effect of task complexity on audit quality, as well as the audit supervision variable is not a variable that moderates the influence of competence on audit quality.This study has several limitations that can be used as a direction for future research. Future research can be done by including variables related to auditor morality and auditor motivation.
Success Factors Impacting Artificial Intelligence Adoption --- Perspective From the Telecom Industry in China

SUCCESS FACTORS IMPACTING ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE ADOPTION--PERSPECTIVE FROM THE TELECOM INDUSTRY IN CHINA Hong Chen Old Dominion University, 2019 Director: Dr. Ling Li As the core driving force of the new round of informatization development and the industrial revolution, the disruptive achievements of artificial intelligence (AI) are rapidly and comprehensively infiltrating into various fields of human activities. Although technologies and applications of AI have been widely studied, and factors that affect AI adoption are identified in existing literature, the impact of success factors on AI adoption remains unknown. Accordingly, the main study of this paper proposes a framework to explore the effects of success factors on AI adoption by integrating the technology, organization, and environment (TOE) framework and diffusion of innovation (DOI) theory. Particularly, this framework consists of factors regarding the external environment, organizational capabilities, and innovation attributes of AI. The framework is empirically tested with data collected by surveying telecom companies in China. Structural equation modeling is applied to analyze the data. The results indicate that compatibility, relative advantage, complexity, managerial support, government involvement, and vendor partnership are significantly related to AI adoption. Managerial capability impacts other organizational capabilities and innovation attributes of AI, but it is indirectly related to AI adoption. Market uncertainty and competitive pressure are not significantly related to AI adoption, but all the external environment factors positively influence managerial capability. The study provides support for firms' decision-making and resource allocation regarding AI adoption. In addition, based on the resource-based view (RBV), this article conducts study 2 which explores the factors that influence the firm sustainable growth. Multiple regression model is applied to empirically test the hypotheses with longitudinal time-series panel data from telecom companies in China. The results indicate that at the firm level, the customer value and operational expenses are significantly related to sustainable growth. Also, at the industry level, industry investment significant impacts sustainable growth. Study 2 provides insights for practitioners the way to keep sustainable growth.
Public food procurement from smallholder farmers: literature review and best practices

"Governments in all parts of the world use their purchasing power to advance social, economic and environmental goals. In a similar vein, public food procurement has also been used to promote a number of positive outcomes. There is growing interest among countries and international institutions in using public food purchases to promote the integration of smallholders into markets and strengthen rural livelihoods. Despite the expansion of public food procurement from smallholder farmers, research into these novel strategies is still limited. This paper will address some of the research gaps by identifying best practices in promoting smallholder participation in public food procurement. It reviews the body of available literature in the field and draws key lessons learned. The findings can assist policymakers in the design and implementation of public food procurement initiatives targeted at smallholders".
