A U-Pb zircon age for the Råna intrusion, N. Norway : new evidence of basic magmatism in the Scandinavian Caledonides in Early Silurian time

Four morphologically distinctive zircon types from quartz-bearing gabbronorite in the Rana intrusion in the Narvik Nappe Complex yield coincident and concordant U-Pb analyses indicating a crystallization age of 437+1-2 Ma. The age of the Rana intrusion, together with other zircon ages from similar layered mafic intrusions and ophiolites in Norway, provide evidence for a distinct and possible short-lived period of back-arc spreading and mafic plutonism in the upper part of the Upper Allochthon and in the Uppermost Allochthon of the Scandinavian Caledonides in Early Silurian time. The intrusion was emplaced during a period of regional crust extension that post-dates the local D1 deformational phase and pre-dates phases D2-D6. The main period of regional metamorphism (and D2-6) in the Narvik Nappe Complex post-dates emplacement of the Rana intrusion, and it is concluded that these latest deformational phases are probably related to the medial Silurian Scandian orogeny and not the Cambrian-Early Ordovician (? ) "Finnmarkian' orogeny, as previously supposed.
Plasma Chemistry in Pulsed Electrical Discharge in Liquid

Electrical discharges in water have been studied for more than thirty years and during that time, significant progress has been made on the understanding and characterization of basic processes taking place in the water. The main molecular species formed by pulsed discharge in water are hydrogen, hydrogen peroxide and oxygen, although oxidative (hydroxyl radical) and reductive radicals (superoxide radical anion) that are produced by the discharge are responsible for the degradation of molecules. Streamer electrical discharge in water has been studied by numerous investigators and overall reactor design and pollutant degradation efficiency has been optimized. Our research group opened a new direction in plasma applications by conducting electrical discharges in relatively polar organic liquids. In that manner, we were able to produce Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) film on the tip of a high voltage electrode by the electrical discharges in acetonitrile and dimethyl sulfoxide. We also studied electrical discharges in ionic liquids and above the ionic liquid surface, a new generation of solvents that are gaining more interest in both fundamental and applied research. The results indicated that the discharge inside the ionic liquid is destructive and leads to polymerization, whereas the discharge above the liquid surface is less destructive and could find possible applications.
Hole-mediated interactions of Mn acceptors on GaAs (110) (invited)

A scanning-tunneling-microscopy-substitution technique is used to incorporate single Mn atoms into Ga sites in GaAs (110) surfaces. The electronic states near a single Mn in the acceptor configuration produce a strong in-gap resonance associated with the acceptor level. The isolated Mn acceptor is probed in both p-type and n-type environments to access the neutral and ionized acceptor configurations. The Mn acceptor at the surface substitution site shares bulk characteristics that compare well with tight-binding calculations. The anisotropic structure of the Mn hole state plays an important role in hole-mediated interactions between the Mn acceptors. Isolated Mn pairs show a strong interaction dependence on crystal orientation and spacing. Certain pair orientations produce a strong splitting of the acceptor level into two levels with bondinglike and antibondinglike symmetries. A tight-binding model relates the acceptor level splitting and the spin-spin interaction energy J.
Effect of Dynamic Information Technology Capabilities on Organizational Performance of Deposits Money Banks in Nigeria

The objective of this paper to examined the effects of Dynamic Information Technology Capabilities (DITCs) on organizational performance using data from the Nigerian banking sector. The DITC dimensions include Information Technology (I.T) Knowledge, IT Management, IT Personnel Expertise and IT Infrastructures.Cross-sectional survey research design was used in the study. Population of the study consists of 191 employees of deposit money banks and 155 employees’ were drawn as sample size for the study. The sample size was selected using simple random technique. Data was collected by means of hand delivery using Research Assistant from the employees at management cadre representing the respective banks in the study. The data was processed using Statistical Package of Social Science (SPSS). Regression analysis was conducted to test the hypothesis and determine the best DITC predictor’s in the relationship between DITC and organizational performance of DMB in Nigeria. Also, factor analysis was done to reduce the dimensionality of a data set in which there are a large number of interrelated variables, while retaining as much as possible of the variation present in the data set. The result reveals that there is significant positive relationship between DITCs and organizational performance in terms of marketing and financial performance However, this relationship is higher in terms of IT infrastructure flexibility fallowed by IT personnel expertise, then IT management capability and lastly IT knowledge creation. The outcome of this study provides important insights to both managers and researchers for further understanding on the effects of DITCs factors on organisational performance. It is therefore recommended that, mangers should pay attention on building, re-configuring, renewal and deploying of DITCs so as to deal with environmental changes effectively.
A Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Internet Addiction

Over the last decade, research on Internet addiction (IA) has increased. However, almost all studies in the area are cross-sectional and do not examine the context in which Internet use takes place. Therefore, a longitudinal study examined the role of conscientiousness (as a personality trait) and classroom hostility (as a contextual factor) in the development of IA. The participants comprised 648 adolescents and were assessed over a 2-year period (while aged 16-18 years). A three-level hierarchical linear model was carried out on the data collected. Findings revealed that (a) lower conscientiousness was associated with IA and this did not change over time and (b) although being in a more hostile classroom did not initially have a significant effect, it increased girls’ IA vulnerability over time and functioned protectively for boys. Results indicated that the contribution of individual and contextual IA factors may differ across genders and over time. More specifically, although the protective effect of conscientiousness appeared to hold, the over-time effect of classroom hostility increased the risk of IA for girls. These findings are discussed in relation to the psychological literature. The study’s limitations and implications are also discussed.
Delegating the Power to Govern Security Affairs: The Composition of the UN Security Council

This paper examines the composition of the UN Security Council with two newly collected data sets on Council membership, one is on the elected members and the other on the nominated members. Using these data sets, I examine which countries are most likely to be nominated by the regional group and then be elected by the General Assembly. The primary interest of this paper is to analyze the effects of Members' policy preferences on the likelihood of gaining seats. Using ideal point estimates, I investigate whether elected members' policy preferences differ substantially from those of the permanent members and whether the elected members actually increase the heterogeneity in the Security Council. The regression results suggest that countries whose ideal points are closer to that of the United Sates are most likely to get elected among all UN Members, including the median voter. Despite the presence of relatively democratic procedures on electing non-permanent members, UN Members tend to elect pro-U.S. countries voluntarily so that the Council functions efficiently without being disturbed by countries with conflicting interests. Moreover, I find that countries which have a reputation for free-riding or transgressing are less likely to obtain seats on the Council. This result suggests that UN Member attempt to prevent the suboptimal provision of the public good by punishing members which fail to bear the burden or break important international norms.
Exploring raceless identity as an additional protective factor in promoting individual resilience: “Resilience patterns in British ethnic minority youths”

As resilience has gained momentum over the past few decades, little effort has been made to understanding the protective factors that are specific to the needs of disadvantaged minority ethnic groups that are considered at risk. This study sought to determine firstly, if the ethnic social identity type developed by Black minority youths act as a protective factor that help promote resilience – using educational involvement as an indicative measure for resilience. This study also examined the claim that the ethnic identity type developed by Black male youths can precipitate psychological problems. Empirical evidence and relevant theories of identity development reviewed in the current paper suggests that links exist between ethnic social identity type and educational involvement. As such, it was concluded that the ethnic social identity type developed by British Black male youths can act as a protective factor in a manner that promote better resilience. The evidence reviewed also indicated a potential link between social identity development and the risk of development of psychological problems among British Black male youths. Indications for further studies were also discussed.
Modelling in the Strait of Gibraltar: from Operational Oceanography to Scale Interactions.

We make a review on the modelling efforts devoted to better understand the complex oceanography of the Strait of Gibraltar, where Atlantic waters enter the Mediterranean Sea as a surface flow, and Mediterranean outflowing waters spread into the interior of the North Atlantic forming a prominent basin-scale termohaline anomaly at mid-depths. Besides the mean exchange flows relevant phenomena include tides, high amplitude internal waves, meteorologically forced subinertial oscillations, mixing, and involve a wide-range of spatio-temporal scales. The remarkable progress achieved in understanding and modelling the ocean processes in the Strait of Gibraltar allows now undertaking new societal demands and scientific challenges. One societal demand is given by the increasing need of operational oceanographic information as a support tool for decision-makers in an area considered as one of world's busiest shipping lanes, with an increased risk of maritime accidents and environmental pollution. We present an Operational Oceanography system for the Strait of Gibraltar responding to that demand. On the other hand, new scientific challenges call for the need of developing perspective-modelling studies accounting for process and scale interactions. Using a global ocean general circulation model with regional high resolution around the Iberian Peninsula we are able to resolve the local-scale at the Strait of Gibraltar and the Gulf of Cadiz while focusing on the basin scale. As a result, we find that tidally-induced local-scale processes in the Strait and in the Gulf of Cadiz appear to have a drastic impact on the distribution of Mediterranean outflow waters in the Atlantic basin.
Flux rope breaking and formation of a rotating blowout jet

We analyzed a small flux rope eruption converted into a helical blowout jet in a fan-spine configuration using multi-wavelength observations taken by SDO, which occurred near the limb on 2016 January 9. In our study, first, we estimated the fan-spine magnetic configuration with the potential field calculation and found a sinistral small filament inside it. The filament along with the flux rope erupted upward and interacted with the surrounding fan- spine magnetic configuration, where the flux rope breaks in the middle section. We observed compact brightening, flare ribbons and post-flare loops underneath the erupting filament. The northern section of the flux rope reconnected with the surrounding positive polarity, while the southern section straightened. Next, we observed the untwisting motion of the southern leg, which was transformed into a rotating helical blowout jet. The sign of the helicity of the mini-filament matches the one of the rotating jet. This is consistent with the jet models presented by Adams et al. (2014) and Sterling et al. (2015). We focused on the fine thread structure of the rotating jet and traced three blobs with the speed of 60-120 km/s, while the radial speed of the jet is approx 400 km/s. The untwisting motion of the jet accelerated plasma upward along the collimated outer spine field lines, and it finally evolved into a narrow coronal mass ejection at the height of approx 9 Rsun . On the basis of the detailed analysis, we discussed clear evidence of the scenario of the breaking of the flux rope and the formation of the helical blowout jet in the fan-spine magnetic configuration.
The Effectiveness of Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy on Increasing the Resilience Dimensions of Women Aged 20–40 in Isfahan City in 2016

Background and Aim: The present study aimed at investigating the effectiveness of Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) on increasing the psychological resilience dimensions of women aged 20-40 in Isfahan city in 2016. Material and Methods: This applied research was conducted on 30 women (15 subjects were assigned to experimental group and the remaining subjects were assigned to control group) visiting Ferdows Women’s Garden in Isfahan city during 2016. The experimental group received the psychological interventions of MBCT in eight 90-min sessions. Results: Both groups responded the resilience questionnaire before and after the interventions. The findings revealed that the change in some resilience dimensions was more for the experimental group than the control one. Regarding the effectiveness of mindfulness, paying attention to the psychological problems of women is a matter of great importance. Non-psychological therapies alone fail to provide women with the ability to cope with stressful conditions. Conclusion: Therefore, promoting women’s mental health may entail comprehensive attention.
The Professor's Office as a Source of Non-Verbal Communication to Students

This study explores the premise that the collection and arrangement of objects in a professor’s office signals personality and teaching characteristics of the occupant to students. Findings suggest that the Myers-Briggs personality dimensions of judging/perceiving and sensing/intuitive are well communicated through viewing an office environment while thinking/feeling is poorly communicated. Professors believed to be extroverts are perceived as teaching classes that are more fun and less strictly graded. Faculty perceived as having a judging lifestyle are viewed as more likely to be well prepared for class, more likely to return exams and assignments in a timely manner, but less fun in class. Student inferences (expectations) of teaching behavior from viewing a professor’s office might influence subsequent interaction with the teacher and evaluation of instruction.
Anti-gypsyism in Sweden : Roma´s and Travllers´Experiences of Bias-motivated Crime

Hundreds of Roma have been murdered in hate crime attacks in recent years in several European states. Even though anti-gypsyism has many common characteristics, its expression can differ in different countries. Despite the Nordic countries having recently become a “migration hot spot”, when it comes to Roma, very few studies of hate crimes against Roma have been conducted in Scandinavia. This article, which is mostly based on in-depth interviews, is therefore an important contribution to the research field of hate crimes against Roma. The purpose of the article is to examine and exploit Roma experiences of everyday harassment, discrimination and hate crime and to discuss the usefulness of the hate crime concept in the work to combat anti-gypsyism.
Involvement of Epigenetic Mechanisms in Herbicide Resistance: The Case of Conyza canadensis

Glyphosate is the most important herbicide globally, and horseweed (Conyza canadensis) has been one of the most commonly encountered weed species that has developed resistance to it in various parts of the world, including Greece. After glyphosate application, horseweed populations show a wide range of phenotypic plasticity in response to selection pressure. In previous work, we have proposed a herbicide resistance mechanism that is not due to a point mutation at the codon 106 of EPSP synthase but most likely due to a synchronized overexpression of EPSPS and the ABC transporter genes. In the current study, it is hypothesized that the observed phenotypic alterations and differential expression of the EPSPS gene could be attributed to epigenetic changes. DNA methylation plays a pivotal role in many biological procedures such as gene expression, differentiation, and cellular proliferation. Sodium bisulfite sequencing was used to detect epigenetic changes that occur at the C5 position of cytosine residues within CpGdi nucleotides in two horseweed populations (resistant vs. susceptible). Results show differential methylation pattern between the two populations. This work will elucidate the naturally increased resistance of C. Canadensis to glyphosate and set the bases for future development of techniques that restrict weed resistance to herbicides.
A CHARACTERIZATION OF SHELLABLE AND SEQUENTIALLY

We consider a class of hypergraphs called hypercycles and we show that a hypercycle C n is shellable or sequentially the Cohen–Macaulay if and only if n ∈ {3, 5}. Also, we characterize Cohen–Macaulay hypercycles. These results are hypergraph versions of results proved for cycles in graphs.
Four Dimensions in Learning Design Thinking: Capabilities, Constraints, Collaboration, and the Diffusion of Ideas

Over the last few years, design thinking has been indicated to be an approach for making sense of complexity by focusing on collaborative work and interdisciplinary approaches. That being said, the concept itself and its applications still remain fluid and emerging today, posing an immediate question for education: How to educate design thinkers and what is the foundation of thought that this learning should be based on? This paper examines four foundational dimensions of design thinking in terms of the needed capabilities, the world of constraints that restricts the application of capabilities, the nature of collaboration, and the diffusion of ideas. The foundational work of Sen in the area of capabilities and constraints is linked to Deleuzian thinking about concepts, collision, and affect in the area of collaboration and the rhizomic diffusion of ideas in order to form a wide framework of thought that serves as a foundational base for design thinking.
Gender differences in using Facebook—preliminary analysis

The aim of the study was to examine gender differences in styles of using Facebook in order to see what motivates males and females when using social media. Different styles of using Facebook were proposed: Facebook as an integral part of life, Celebrities of Facebook, Gamers, Aware self-presenters, Fanpage members and Information seekers. Gamers do not differentiate Facebook users therefore it was not used in analysis. Previous studies showed that women more frequently than men spend more time than they intended on Facebook, sometimes feel addicted to Facebook, post public messages, post photographs, write private messages, use Facebook to follow the agenda and as a teaching resource. On the other hand men are more likely to use social media and Internet to dating purposes, make new friends, play games, discuss and learn about events. The sample consisted of 433 students (262 females, 171 males). The mean age of sample was M = 20.98 (SD = 2.64) Valid and reliable psychometric tools were applied. Hypotheses were partially confirmed. Females’ subjective time spending on Facebook was higher than males’. Females were more likely to treat Facebook as integral part of life, to be aware selfpresenters and information seekers than males. Moreover, number of Facebook friends showed considerable trend toward significance in favor of females. There were no gender differences observed in terms of time spending on Facebook, being celebrity of Facebook or being fanpage member. The results showed that gender is significant variable in terms of using Facebook. The potential role of personality should be investigated in future studies.
A Combination Theorem for Relatively Hyperbolic Groups

Given a graph of δ‐hyperbolic spaces, this paper gives sufficient conditions that ensure that the graph itself is δ‐hyperbolic. As an application, a simple proof is given to show that limit groups are relatively hyperbolic. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification 57M07, 20F65.
Could a Manipulation of Dietary Nutrient Contents Including Phosphorous Affect Compensatory Growth of Juvenile Olive Flounder Paralichthys olivaceus

I hypothesized that the manipulation of dietary nutrient contents including phosphorous could affect compensatory growth of juvenile olive flounder, Paralichthys olivaceus. Thirty fish averaging 34.8 g per tank were randomly chosen and distributed into 15 flow-through 180-L tanks. Three experimental diets were prepared: the control (C) diet, high protein and lipid (HPL) diet, and HPL diet with supplementation of calcium phosphate-monobasic (HPLP). Five treatments were prepared in triplicate: fish were hand-fed daily with the C diet twice a day for 8 weeks (C-8W); fish were starved for 1 week, and then fed with the HPL or HPLP diets twice a day for 7 weeks, and referred to as HPL-7W and HPLP-7W, respectively; and fish were starved for 2 weeks, and then fed with the HPL or HPLP diets twice a day for 6 weeks, and referred to as HPL-6W and HPLP-6W, respectively. The body weight of fish with C-8W, HPL-7W and HPLP-7W treatments was higher than fish with HPL-6W and HPLP-6W treatments on week 2, 4 and 6 after an initiation of the trial. At the end of the 8-week trial, fish with HPLP-7W and HPL-7W treatments overcompensated, as compared to fish with C-8W treatment. Full compensation was not achieved in fish subjected to the 2-week feed deprivation (HPL-6W and HPLP-6W treatments). Overall feed intake by fish was proportional to weeks of feeding. Feed conversion ratio of fish with HPLP-7W, HPL-6W and HPLP-6W treatments was higher than fish with C-8W treatment. The study showed that dietary supplementation of protein and lipid resulted in overcompensation of juvenile olive flounder subjected to a 1-week feed depriva tion, but not a 2-week feed deprivation. Additionally, dietary supplementation of phosphorous did not further improve compensatory growth of fish.
