South African Generation Y students’ self-disclosure on Facebook

The advent of online social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter, Bebo, MXit, and the like have revolutionised communication. Facebook, in particular, has witnessed phenomenal growth and in South Africa, the site is especially popular among the youth aged between 18 and 24 years who form part of the Generation Y cohort (individuals born between 1986 and 2005). Unfortunately, the ease at which information may be disclosed and shared on Facebook has raised serious privacy and security concerns among scholars and social critics. Consequently, this study seeks to explore information disclosure on Facebook by Generation Y students in South Africa by ascertaining the kind of information they disclose, and the likely factors that will influence their self-disclosures on Facebook. Following a descriptive research design, self-administered questionnaires were completed by a non-probability convenience sample of 281 students registered at the campuses of two registered public higher education institutions in the Gauteng province of South Africa – one from a traditional university and one from a university of technology. The captured data were analysed using correlation analysis and structural equation modelling. The findings suggest that site trust and access concerns predict member trust, which, in turn, predicts the level of self-disclosure on Facebook among Generation Y students in South Africa.
Prevalence of Anaemia Among Young Adult Females in Two Selected Grama Niladhari Areas in the Southern Province of Sri Lanka

Anaemia is a global health problem and its impact is felt in Sri Lanka as well. Anaemia is characterized by less than the normal quantity of hemoglobin in the blood. Anaemia occurs at all stages of life, but is particularly prevalent in women of reproductive age, pregnant women and children. This study was conducted to investigate the prevalence of anaemia in two rapidly developing administrative units in Southern Province of Sri Lanka. A cross-sectional study was conducted in Hungama and Hiththatiya middle administrative units in the Hambantota and Matara districts of Southern province of Sri Lanka. Females between 20-50 years of age (n=152 from each area) were selected by simple random sampling and 2 ml of venous blood was withdrawn from each subject and analysed for haemoglobin concentration by cyanmethaemoglobin method. Anaemia was defined as a haemoglobin level less than 115.0 g/L. Overall prevalence of anaemia (Haemoglobin 0.05). Age wise 87.5% of anaemic people are over 40 years. Prevalence of anaemia is significantly less in the two Grama Niladhari areas compared to national data and there is no statistically significant difference between the prevalence of anaemia between the two areas. Thus there may be pockets in Sri Lanka where anaemia may not be a major health problem as compared to the rest of the country.
Impact of mesh resolution for MISMIP and MISMIP3d experiments using Elmer/Ice

The dynamical contribution of marine ice sheets to sea level rise is largely controlled by grounding line (GL) dynamics. Two marine ice sheet model intercomparison exercises , namely MISMIP and MISMIP3d, have been proposed to the community to test and compare the ability of models to capture the GL dynamics. Both exercises are known to present a discontinuity of the friction at the GL, which is believed to increase the model sensitivity to mesh resolution. Here, using Elmer/Ice, the only Stokes model which completed both intercomparisons, the sensitivity to the mesh resolution is studied from an extended MISMIP experiment in which the friction continuously decreases over a transition distance and equals zero at the GL. Using this MISMIP-like setup, it is shown that the sensitivity to the mesh resolution is not improved for a vanishing friction at the GL. For the original MISMIP experiment, i.e. for a discontinuous friction at the GL, we further show that the results are moreover very sensitive to the way the friction is interpolated in the close vicinity of the GL. In the light of these new insights, and thanks to increased computing resources, new results for the MISMIP3d experiments obtained for higher resolutions than previously published are made available for future comparisons as the Supplement.
Evaluation of 11 microsatellite loci for their use in paternity testing in Yugoslav Pied cattle (YU Simmental cattle)

Eleven microsatellite loci ( TGLA227, BM2113, TGLA53, ETH10, SPS115, TGLA126, TGLA122, INRA023, ETH3, ETH225, BM1824) were evaluated for their use in paternity testing in the Yugoslav Pied cattle (YU Simmental cattle) population in Serbia. A total of 40 animals were tested. At the 11 tested loci, a total of 91 alleles were detected. The mean number of alleles per locus was 8.273. Polymorphism information content (PIC) values ranged from 0.58 to 0.88 with the mean value of 0.72. The most informative loci were: TGLA53 (14 alleles, PIC = 0.88), TGLA227 (11 alleles, PIC = 0.82), INRA023 (11 alleles, PIC = 0.86), BM2113 (9 alleles, PIC = 0.80). Combined power of discrimination (CPD) for the 11 microsatellite loci was 0.999. The results of the present study confirm that the analysed set of 11 microsatellite markers recommended by ISAG is suitable for paternity testing in Yugoslav Pied cattle in Serbia.
Reform or revolution? Theory and evidence on the role of the middle class in the rise of universal male suffrage

This paper presents a theoretical account of suffrage extensions from a specific perspective: the strategic role of the middle class in the struggle for political power. Extensions are analyzed as a game among three players: the elite, the middle class, and the poor. To thwart the threat presented by the poor, the elite had to cede economic and political power to the middle class, who in turn might have an interest in extending suffrage further, either immediately or in some future. Whether suffrage was extended to the poor in one step or first only to the middle class depended on state’s capacity to repress and the strength of the middle class, along with some economic variables. Consistent with this theory, empirical results show that suffrage extensions did not reduce rebellious activity, but rather that economic growth and military power are strong predictors of decreases in the number of rebellions.
BENTHIC MARINE ALGAE OF THE CORAL REEFS OF BRAZIL: A LITERATURE REVIEW

In Brazil, algae in coral reef environments can be found from Maranhao to Bahia State and there are today around 700 taxa, of which 78% are found on reef formations. The Rhodophyta are among the most common taxa found. Corallinales are the least studied group, in spite of their role in the formation and maintenance of Brazilian coral reefs. The species richness of algae on coral reefs is low in comparison with other coastal habitats, but there is an abundance of turf and fleshy macroalgae on certain parts of the coastal reefs. Halimeda spp. , Dictyota spp. , Dictyopteris spp. , Hypnea spp. , Gracilaria spp. , Gelidium spp. and Sargassum spp. are some of the most conspicuous algae, while Caulerpa and Udotea and seagrasses are frequently found on unconsolidated sandy bottoms. Benthic marine algae are important components of shallow coral-reef communities in the Atlantic and they can be regarded as major competitors to corals. Over the last two decades, numerous cases of phase shifts from coral to algal predominance over coral reefs were reported worldwide. These reports coincide with the increasing concern with reef degradation, mainly attributed to anthropogenic nutrient enrichment and overfishing. In Brazil the effects of nutrification over coral reef dynamics are only recently being assessed, and crucial basic information is still lacking. The exploitation of marine algae, mainly of Gracilaria, is also recent in Brazil. Macroalgae growth in some disturbed Brazilian reefs were associated with grazing reduction caused by overfishing or nutrification. Rapid assessments of coral reef flora are needed in order to generate reliable information for environmental
Association 0f Gpx-198C/T Gene Polymorphism (rs1050450-198C/T) in Sudanese with Diabetic Retinopathy

Background: Diabetic retinopathy is the common micro-vascular complication of diabetes mellitus. It is the main cause of blindness among young adults worldwide. Poor glycemic control in addition to longer diabetic duration is the main risk factors for diabetic retinopathy. Many genes have been postulated as candidates for diabetic retinopathy. Little is known about anti-oxidative enzyme gene polymorphism and its association with diabetic retinopathy, mainly for catalase enzyme and manganese superoxide dismutase and glutathone genes. The study aims to assess the role of glutathone GPX-198C/T (rs1050450) gene polymorphism in diabetic retinopathy Sudanese patients and its relation with GPX level. In addition to determine the association of FBS, HbA1c and lipid in the pathogenesis of diabetic retinopathy. Methodology: The number of subjects involved were 130 which were classified into (n 60) clinically diagnosed as diabetic retinopathy and (n 70) diabetes mellitus without retinopathy as control group, age ranged from 22 to 80 years old, from Makkah Eye Complex. DNA was extracted and PCR product for GPX, gene segment were digested by Aba1 enzymes, moreover gene polymorphisms were determined. Serum GPX, activity and FBS, TG, CHOL and HbA1c level were analyzed using Cobas Int 400 using absorption photometer and immunoassay methods respectively. Results: The results revealed that, retinopathy is common in female than male by approximately 2 fold =1.9:1. Type II is more common in our population that type 1. The majority of the patients had type II diabetes (128, 98.5%) and only 2(1.5%) patients were type I diabetes mellitus. The activity of GPX, was significantly higher in DNR when compared with DR (p=0.003). Mean HbA1c and FBG concentration were significantly higher among DR than DNR p=0.001 and p=0.001 respectively. In contrast, mean serum CHOL and TG level revealed insignificant differences when compared DR with DNR. The genotyping for GPX-198C/T showed that, the frequency of CC was observed in 33(47%) in control higher than cases 13(22%), theses Associations for CCs, GPX-198C/T SNP rs1050450, decreased risk after correction for multiple testing (OR=0.310, 95% CI=0.176-0.486, p=0.001), While TT genotype was detected in 25(42%) cases and only 14(20%) in controls, these Associations for SNPs, TTs, GPX-198C/T SNP rs1050450, increased risk after correction for multiple testing (OR=2.4, 95% CI=1.10-5.90, p=0.004). The frequency of the allele C protective allele was found to be 48% among cases group while allele T-risky allele was higher among cases group 72%, OR=0.357 (0.216-0.433), p=0.001. Conclusion:The study concludes that there is a significant association between GPX-198C/T (rs1050450) gene polymorphism and the occurrence of diabetic retinopathy in Sudanese population. There is a significant decrease in GPX levels and glycemic control in patients with the mutant allele T.
The Measles Epidemic of 1714-1715 in New-France

This study utilizes methods to follow a measles epidemic in New France, where cause of death information is lacking. We fit a series of splines to estimate mortality and trace the origin, spread, duration and severity of the epidemic, which originated in the region of Montreal during the 2nd quarter of 1714. By the 3rd quarter, the epidemic had spread throughout the colony and had run its course by the second quarter of 1715. Overall, the measles death rate was 52.8 per 1,000 for children under age 15 and females were more likely than males to have died from the virus.
Does Psychological Contract on Work-family Benefits Improve Employee Commitment?

The purpose of this study is to examine the role of work-family psychological contract fulfillment as a mechanism through which work-family factors affect employees’ organizational commitment. The data for this study were collected from media organization employees in Malaysia using self-administered questionnaires. The results indicate that work-family psychological contract fulfillment correlates significantly with work-family conflict, work-family facilitation and organizational commitment. Work-family psychological contract fulfillment has a mediating effect on the relationships between the work-family factors (work-family facilitation and work-family conflict) and organizational commitment. The results underscore the important role of work-family psychological contract fulfillment in improving organizational commitment. The findings point to the importance of organizations investing in work-family benefits since this investment has the potential of improving organizational commitment of employees. Organizations should plan for interventions that could reduce work-family conflict and enhance work-family facilitation. In future, there is a need for researchers to give more attention to work-family benefits in psychological contract research.
Misspecification Effects in the Analysis of Longitudinal Survey Data

Misspecification effects (meffs) measure the inflation of the sampling variance of an estimator as a result of the use of complex sampling schemes. Many longitudinal social survey designs employ multi-stage sampling, leading to some clustering of the sample and to meffs greater than one. For a model for panel data we consider methods for estimating parameters which allow for complex schemes. An empirical study using longitudinal data from the British Household Panel Survey is conducted, and a simulation study is performed.
Effects of herbivory and nutrients on the early colonization of crustose coralline and fleshy algae

The persistence of phase shifts from coral-dominated to macroalgae-dominated commu- nities following disturbances has been largely attributed to reduction of herbivores and eutrophication on tropical coral reefs. The influence of reduced herbivory and increased nutrients and their combined interactions on the colonization of crustose coralline algae (CCA) and fleshy algae onto settlement tiles was studied for effects on community structure. Cages were used to manipulate herbivory, and slow- release fertilizer was used for nutrient enrichment. The responses of the following variables were mea- sured at 2 adjacent reefs in Guam, Mariana Islands: percentage cover of CCA, fleshy algal biomass, coral recruitment, and sediment load. Fleshy algal biomass and sediment were greatest on tiles where herbivores were excluded, whereas CCA were most abundant on tiles exposed to herbivores. Nutri- ents did not have a significant effect on fleshy algae; however, CCA had a lower level of increase in re- sponse to increased nutrients at 1 site. Coral recruitment was low; therefore, preferential settlement to substratum type was indeterminable. This study demonstrates that herbivory, in particular, can have a marked effect on the initial composition of the benthic community, even over a relatively short time span. Moreover, the inverse relationship between CCA and both fleshy algae and sediment has impli- cations for the recruitment of organisms with reliance on CCA.
COSIMA data analysis using multivariate techniques

Abstract. We describe how to use multivariate analysis of complex TOF-SIMS (time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry) spectra by introducing the method of random projections. The technique allows us to do full clustering and classification of the measured mass spectra. In this paper we use the tool for classification purposes. The presentation describes calibration experiments of 19 minerals on Ag and Au substrates using positive mode ion spectra. The discrimination between individual minerals gives a cross-validation Cohen κ for classification of typically about 80%. We intend to use the method as a fast tool to deduce a qualitative similarity of measurements.
The parasites of the invasive Chinese sleeper Perccottus glenii (Fam. Odontobutidae), with the first report of Nippotaenia mogurndae in Ukraine

Key-words: Chinese sleeper, parasites, Nippotaenia mogurndae, non-indigenous species, neobiota The parasites of the Asian invasive fish, Chinese sleeper Perccottus glenii, were studied in 6 localities in different parts of Ukraine. In total, 15 taxa of parasites were registered; among them were 1 species of Microsporidia, 5 species of ciliates, 2 species of cestodes, 2 species of trematodes, 2 species of nematodes, 1 species of acanthocephalan, 1 species of parasitic crustacean and 1 mollusk (glochidia). The invasive Chinese sleeper is included as a paratenic host in the life cycle of the parasites of indigenous reptiles in Europe. The non-indigenous cestode Nippotaenia mogurndae occurred in the intestine of the Chinese sleeper from the Ivachiv Reservoir (Dniester River basin). This cestode is recorded for Ukrainian fauna for the first time. In addition, 3 species of parasites were recorded in the Chinese sleeper for the first time: Nicolla skrjabini, Cosmocephalus obvelatus and Pomphorhynchus laevis. We note the low similarity among the different localities and the low parasite richness, that suggest that the parasite fauna of the Chinese sleeper in Ukraine is in transition.
A spark-generated bubble model with semi-empirical mass transport

This paper describes the time evolution of bubbles generated by underwater electrical discharges. The oscillations of these high-temperature vapor and plasma bubbles generate acoustic signatures similar to the signatures generated by air guns, underwater explosions, and combustible sources. A set of model equations is developed that allows the time evolution of the bubble generated by a spark discharge to be calculated numerically from a given power input. The acoustic signatures produced by the model were compared to previously recorded experimental data, and the model was found to agree over wide ranges of energy and ambient pressure on several characteristic values of the acoustic signatures. The bubble period in particular matched very well between model and experiment, indicating that the total energy losses predicted by the model over the oscillation of the bubble were approximately correct, although no reliable information was gained about the relative magnitudes of the individual energy loss mecha.

Developmental Links between Cruelty to Animals and Human Violence

Abstract Reviews evidence for the significance of childhood cruelty to animals as a predictor of later violence toward humans. Moves are underway in the United States (US) and Britain to encourage communication and cross-fertilisation between animal welfare and child protection and crime prevention services. Literature on healthy versus deviant child-pet interactions is reviewed, with particular regard to the prediction of later violence. Assessment and definitional issues are addressed. The discussion culminates with a summary of substantive findings and the identification of several research designs that are needed to clarify the potential of early identification and remediation of child cruelty to animals as a mental health promotion and violence prevention strategy.
The Relationship of Type A Personality, Sensation Seeking Trait with General Health among Firefighters in Tehran City

Background: One of the conditions affecting mental health is working condition which should be considered more. Work-related stress can impair mental health. Firefighting because of exposure to hazardous agents and risky activities is a stressful and hard job. This research was conducted to investigate the relationship of type A personality and sensation seeking trait with general health among firefighters in Tehran City. Methods: The present research is a descriptive survey method. The study population comprised all firefighting staff of Tehran City in 2013-2014. A total of 150 firefighters were chosen by cluster sampling method. Three questionnaires were used in this study: Zuckerman’s sensation seeking scale (1979), type A personality scale Lichtenstein (1989), and general health questionnaire (GHQ) (1979). The results of questionnaires were analyzed with the Pearson correlation and the multivariate stepwise regression. SPSS 16 software was used for data analysis. Results: The findings of the current research indicated that there is a positive and significant relationship between type A personality (r=0.672), sensation seeking (r=0.180) and general health (P<0.05). The mental health variable could be predict the intercept of both variables; Tape A personality and sensation seeking (Reg=24.202, P<0.0001). Conclusion: According to the results of the study, there is relationship between type A personality and sensation seeking with general health among Tehran firefighters who are susceptible to mental pressure.

NUMERICAL STUDY ON THE EMERGENCE OF KINKED FLUX TUBE FOR UNDERSTANDING OF POSSIBLE ORIGIN OF δ-SPOT REGIONS

We carried out an magnetohydrodynamic simulation where a subsurface twisted kink-unstable flux tube emerges from the solar interior to the corona. Unlike the previous expectations based on the bodily emergence of a knotted tube, we found that the kinked tube can spontaneously form a complex quadrupole structure at the photosphere. Due to the development of the kink instability before the emergence, the magnetic twist at the kinked apex of the tube is greatly reduced, although the other parts of the tube are still strongly twisted. This leads to the formation of a complex quadrupole structure: a pair of the coherent, strongly twisted spots and a narrow complex bipolar pair between it. The quadrupole is formed by the submergence of a portion of emerged magnetic fields. This result is relevant for understanding the origin of the complex multipolar δ-spot regions that have a strong magnetic shear and emerge with polarity orientations not following Hale-Nicholson and Joy Laws.
