A study on multiscale wavelet analysis in recogniz- ing earthquake-induced signals in the medium-to- short wavelength part

Mw 9.0 Tohoku-Oki earthquake occurred in the sedimentary area between the Pacific and North American tectonic plates on March 11, 2011. There is no record of a magnitude 9.0 earthquake along Japan Trench except the Jogan earthquake on July 13, AD 869, which may be the only documented incident of similar magnitude and location to the Tohoku-Oki earthquake. Since large crustal deformations indicate mass redistribution within the solid Earth, an earthquake also affects the gravitational field that has the temporal variations reflecting the mass redistribution inside the solid Earth processes. In general, it is difficult to isolate the earthquake anomalies from other signals in the frequency domain since frequencies change spatially due to the contribution of a certain combination of frequencies and this spatial rise of the frequencies is not reflected in the spherical harmonics. In this study, the researchers use monthly GRACE gravity data and apply the multiscale wavelet analysis, based on the Abel-Poisson scale and its corresponding wavelet functions to monthly GRACE gravity data in order to extract the Tohoku-Oki earthquake-induced signals in the medium-to-short-wavelength part. As a result of this largest earthquake, there was some coseismic mass redistribution producing local geoid changes. In March 2011, the coseismic geoid decrease was detected at the northwestern part of Yamagata Prefecture, which increased consistently until February 2011. With regard to the postseismic geoid recovery, changes at the eastern part of northern Honshu near the Miyagi segment and the southern part of the Sanriku segment near the Japan Trench were predominant in August 2011. It is concluded that the geological relationship among these locations played a very important role in the Tohoku-Oki earthquake occurrence. Furthermore, the tectonic plate motion around the Japanese islands may reach a period of geological stability after August 2011.
The Continuing Practice of Untouchability in India Patterns and Mitigating Influences

The caste (jati)-based practice of untouchability in India, shifting the focus from the victims of this practice, the ex-untouchables (Dalits), to the perpetrators, the non-Dalits is examined by identifying and disaggregating communities that continue to practise untouchability. The second wave of the India Human Development Survey data has been used to generate a socio-economic profile of those who practise untouchability in India, and check the hypothesis that households with a wider network outside the community than with one within the community are less likely to practise untouchability, and uses a logistic regression model to measure this effect at the all-India level.
Quality of life among married working women and housewives

A married woman has many roles to play in the society i.e. a wife, mother, and daughter in law etc. which was really a highly stressful job. With the increase in population throughout the globe the access to basic needs of life has been limited and it was then the need of modern time that women work side by side with men in order to run their house. Being at workplace and at home brings no of challenges for women which in turn influence the quality of life of women. In the present study, The WHOQOL-BREF (1996) Questionnaire was administered on 80 married women participants age ranging from 25-40 years. Out of which 40 were Married working women and 40 housewives in Bijnor, UP. Independent T-test was used for statistical analysis of data. Result showed that there was no difference between Married working women and housewives on physical health whereas both the group differs on psychological, social and the environmental aspect.
TweeLoc: A System for Geolocalizing Tweets at Fine-Grain

The recent rise in the use of social networks has resulted in an abundance of information on different aspects of everyday social activities that is available online. In the process of analysis of identifying the information originating from social networks, and especially Twitter, an important aspect is that of the geographic coordinates, i.e., geolocalisation, of the relevant information. Geolocalized information can be used by a variety of applications in order to offer better, or new services. However, only a small percentage of the twitter posts are geotagged, which restricts the applicability of location-based applications. In this work, we describe TweeLoc, our prototype system for geolocalizing tweets that are not geotagged, which can effectively estimate the tweet location at the level of a city neighborhood. TweeLoc employs a dashboard that visualizes the social activity of the geographic regions specified by the user, and provides relevant easy-to-access statistics. Moreover, it displays information on the way that these statistics evolve over time. Our system can help end-users and large-scale event organizers to better plan and manage their activities, and can complete this task fast and more accurately than alternative solutions that we compare to.
Who Benefits from Surge Pricing?

In the last decade, new technologies have led to a boom in real-time pricing. I analyze the most salient example, surge pricing in ride hailing. Using data from Uber, I develop an empirical model of spatial equilibrium to measure the welfare effects of surge pricing. The model is composed of demand, supply, and a matching technology. It allows for temporal and spatial heterogeneity as well as randomness in supply and demand. I find that, relative to a counterfactual with uniform pricing, surge pricing increases total welfare by 1.59% of gross revenue. Welfare effects differ substantially across sides of the market: rider surplus increases by 5.25% of gross revenue, whereas driver surplus and platform profits decrease by 1.81% and 1.77% of gross revenue, respectively. Riders at all income levels benefit, while disparities in driver surplus are magnified.

Teklu Gebrehiwot Gebremichael 1 Hiluf Hindeya Gebreyesus Alem Gebremariam 1Clinical Pharmacy Unit, School of Pharmacy, College of Health Sciences, Mekelle University, Mekelle, Tigray, Ethiopia; 2Medical Physiology Unit, Biomedical Division, School of Medicine, College of Health Sciences, Mekelle University, Mekelle, Tigray, Ethiopia Background: Ceftazidime is nowadays one of the most commonly used antibiotics due to its high antibacterial potency, wide spectrum of activity, and low potential for toxicity. However, the global trend shows huge misuse of ceftazidime. Objective: This study was conducted to assess the appropriateness of ceftazidime use and to identify areas of intervention to prevent inappropriate use in different wards of Ayder Compressive Specialized Hospital, a tertiary teaching Hospital, Mekelle-Ethiopia. Methods: A facility-based prospective cross-sectional study design was steered on 327 patients who received ceftazidime during their hospitalization in the selected wards from February 1 to April 30, 2019. Results: In the assessment of the appropriateness of ceftazidime use, 2,084 (70.8%) were appropriate. Appropriateness of indication was 295 (90.2%), the effectiveness of ceftazidime use was 221 (67.6%), correct dose of ceftazidime use was 264 (80.4%), and the correct frequency of ceftazidime use was 230 (70.3%). Its use was empiric in 275 participants (84.1%) and specific in 52 (15.9%) participants. The most common indication for ceftazidime use was uncomplicated pneumonia, at 112 (34.3%). One hundred and seventy-one (52.3%) participants had intervention to prevent inappropriate use of ceftazidime. Changing the drug combination (96, 29.4%), increasing the dose (13, 4%), decreasing the dose (21, 6.4%), holding the (21, 6.4%), and discontinuation of ceftazidime (20, 6.1%) were among the interventions. Conclusion: This study revealed that more than one-fourth of the ceftazidime use was inappropriate. This may lead to the emergence of resistant pathogens which in turn lead to treatment failure and increased the cost of therapy. Therefore, adherence to current evidencebased guidelines and initiating antimicrobial stewardship are recommended.
The 2010 Chile Earthquake: a five-year reflection

At 3:34AM local time, on February 27, 2010, a moment magnitude Mw 8.8 megathrust earthquake struck offshore the coast of Chile. The earthquake ruptured a 540 by 200 km mature seismic gap of the underlying subduction pacific plate interlocking mechanism. More than 75% of the 16 million Chileans spread over several large urban areas in the center-south of the country were affected by the earthquake, which caused 521 fatalities with 124 of them due to the tsunami, and an overall damage estimate of USD 30 billion. Because the earthquake struck the most densely populated area of the country, it represents a very unique opportunity to reflect on its ubiquitous impact over many different physical and social systems. The reflection contained in this article occurs five years later, once reconstruction and recovery are complete from this longitudinal wound of the country. Seismic codes have changed, research on the supposedly indestructible reinforced concrete shear walls has been done, new seismic protection technologies have been incorporated, and whole new seismic standards have been adopted by communities and people. The price it took was quite high, but we can confidently say that Chile is better prepared today for the next large earthquake.
Reelection versus Reciprocity

We study how reelection concerns a¤ect reciprocity by elected leaders to the voters who elected them. If showing kindness to past voters reduces the chances of reelection, will an elected leader reduce or eliminate such intrinsic reciprocity? We present a signalling model of candidate behavior, where we show that candidates may limit intrinsic reciprocity to past voters to signal congruence with voters important for reelection, and sel sh candidates may mimic reciprocal behavior for instrumental purposes. We then present an experiment that tests these ideas in the laboratory and nds support for the model. Both candidates and voters behave as the signalling model predicts. Our key nding is that the desire to be reelected may limit intrinsic reciprocity of an elected leader to the voters who put her in o¢ ce, but does not eliminate it entirely.

Work Family Balance and Optimism as a Predictor of Women Worker' Subjective Well-Being

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the subjective well-being of women worker is predicted by workfamily balance and optimism. The sample of this study consisted of 84 women worker in Indonesia. Data were collected by the Work-Family Balance Scale, Optimism Scale, and the Subjective Well-Being Scale and analyzed through multiple regression analysis. Results showed that women workers’ workfamily balance and optimism predicted their subjective wellbeing and showed a significant relationship and a positive direction. Work-Family balance indicated a relation with Subjective Well-Being and Optimism relation with Subjective Well-Being. Activities performed by development Organization to increase women worker work-family balance and optimism levels were found to be women worker’ subjective well-being. Keywords—subjective well-being, work, family, balance, optimism, woman worker
PAR INTERVENTION TO INCREASE WORK ENGAGEMENT

This study evaluated whether a participatory action research intervention with nursing staff on acute care older people NHS wards in the UK was effective for increasing work engagement. Mediation analyses between job resources, (social support, influence in decision-making), job demands, work-related needs (autonomy, competence, relatedness), and work engagement explored the presumed psychological mechanisms underlying the intervention. A nonrandomised, matched control group, pre-test, post-test design involved three intervention and five control wards. A significant decrease in relatedness, and a borderline significant decrease in competence, was observed in the intervention group compared to the control group, with no effect on work engagement (N=45). Work-related needs mediated between resources and work engagement, supporting the Job Demands-Resources model and Self-Determination Theory as an underlying explanatory theory. Intervention implementation was difficult, highlighting the need for participant and organisational readiness for change, and strong management support. This is the first known study to apply participatory techniques to increase work engagement in nursing staff and explore the underlying explanatory psychological mechanisms, offering a novel means of taking work engagement research forward. Crucially, it highlights the challenges involved in intervention research and the importance of including evaluations of intervention implementation alongside statistical evaluations to avoid erroneous conclusions.
COCHLEAR COMPRESSION AS A FUNCTION OF CHARACTERISTIC FREQUENCY IN LISTENERS WITH NORMAL HEARING

This study investigates the degree of cochlear compression as a function of characteristic frequency (CF). Fixed-probe-level iso-response temporal forward-masking curves (TMCs) were measured for probe frequencies (fps) between 500, and 8000 Hz, and masker frequencies (fms) ranging from 0.5, to 1.6×fp. For all fps, the shape of TMCs for fm = fp is consistent with cochlear compression for tones at CF. TMCs for fm = 0.5fp can be described as straight lines whose slopes decrease monotonically with increasing probe frequency, suggesting that compression occurs over a wider frequency range (relative to CF) for lower CFs than for higher CFs. Derived input/output curves suggest constant compression (3-4:1) across the range of CFs tested.
Human Capital, Female Employment, and Electricity: Evidence from the Early 20th-Century United States

This paper revisits the link between electrification and the rise in female labor force participation (LFP), and presents theoretical and empirical evidence showing that electrification triggered a rise in female LFP by increasing market opportunities for skilled women. I formalize my theory in an overlapping generations model and find that my mechanism explains one quarter of the rise in female LFP during the rollout of electricity in the United States (1880–1940), and matches the slow decline in female home-production hours during this period. I then present micro-evidence supporting my theory using newly digitized data on the early electrification of the United States.
Flotation and free surface flow in a model for subglacial drainage. Part II: Channel flow

We present a new model of subglacial drainage incorporating flow in a network of channels and a porous sheet, with water exchange between the two determined by pressure gradients. The sheet represents the average effect of many linked-cavities, whilst the channels emerge from individual cavities that enlarge due to dissipation-induced melting. The model distinguishes cases when the water pressure drops to zero, in which case it allows for the drainage space to be only partially filled with water (free surface flow), and when the pressure reaches the ice overburden pressure, in which case it allows for uplift of the ice to whatever extent is needed to accommodate the water (flotation). Numerical solutions are found for a one dimensional flow-line version of the model. The results capture typically observed or inferred features of subglacial drainage systems, including open channel flow at the ice margin, seasonal channel evolution, and high water pressures and uplift of the ice surface driven by rapid changes in water supply.
Associations between the Wellbeing Process and Academic Outcomes

Background: The Student Wellbeing Process Questionnaire (Student WPQ) has been used to identify predictors of both positive and negative wellbeing. These variables can now be used to investigate whether different aspects of the wellbeing process are associated with academic outcomes. Aims: The wellbeing process involves established predictors such as exposure to stressors, negative coping, social support, positive personality, and conscientiousness. The wellbeing outcomes are positive (e.g. happiness, positive affect, and life satisfaction), and negative (e.g. stress, anxiety and depression). The aim was to examine associations between these variables and academic outcomes (Grade Point Average [GPA]; perceived efficiency; perceived course stress, and perceived workload). Methodology: The research described in this paper was carried out with the approval of the ethics committee, School of Psychology, Cardiff University, and the informed consent of the participants (1296 psychology undergraduates; 89.4% female; 49.7% year 1; mean age 19.5 years). An online survey was carried out and this included the Student WPQ and academic outcomes. A MANOVA was conducted to examine associations between the wellbeing process variables and the academic outcomes. Results: The main factor associated with the academic outcomes was conscientiousness. Those in the high conscientiousness category had higher GPA sores, reported greater efficiency and higher course stress and workload. GPA scores were also associated with student stressors, with those in the high stress category having lower GPA scores. Greater efficiency was associated with higher scores for positive wellbeing and social support, and lower negative coping. Higher course stress was associated with higher scores for exposure to stressors, negative coping and negative wellbeing. Higher negative wellbeing was also associated with higher perceived workload. Conclusion: Conscientiousness is the best predictor of academic outcomes. Other components of the wellbeing process have selective effects on academic outcomes.
Low Threshold Quantum Dot Lasers Directly Grown on Unpatterned Quasi-Nominal (001) Si

We report electrically pumped, continuous-wave (cw) InAs/GaAs quantum dot (QD) lasers directly grown on quasi-nominal Si (001) substrates with offcut angle as small as 0.4°. No GaP, Ge buffer layers or substrate patterning is required. An anti-phase boundary free epitaxial GaAs film was grown by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) with a low threading dislocation density of 3 × 107 cm−2. Room-temperature cw lasing at ∼1.3 μm has been achieved, with a minimum threshold current density of 34.6 A/cm2 per layer, a maximum operating temperature of 80 °C, and a maximum single facet output power of 52 mW. A comparison of various monolithic III-V hetero-epitaxy on Si solutions is presented. Direct growth on unpatterned quasi-nominal (001) Si may yield the best material quality at the lowest lifecycle cost.
A New Perspective for Future Precipitation Change from Intense Extratropical Cyclones

Extratropical cyclones, major contributors to precipitation in the midlatitudes, comprise mesoscale fronts and fine‐scale convective storms. Intense oceanic cyclones pose natural hazards, making reliable projections of their changes with global warming of great interest. Here, we analyze the first ever global climate simulations to resolve such mesoscale dynamics of extratropical cyclones. The present‐day structure, frequency, and precipitation of the oceanic extratropical cyclones compare well with reanalyses and new satellite datasets that resolve the multiscale cloud‐precipitation system. Simulated precipitation from intense oceanic cyclones increases at a rate of 7%/K1, following Clausius‐Clapeyron, with warming. The same scaling is apparent also in the interhemispheric contrast, suggesting that the latter could serve as a predictor of the former. Projected changes in precipitation from intense oceanic cyclones with warming may thus be testable using a reliable global observation network of precipitation in the present day.

The rate of kidney disease is increasing amongst HIV patients and occurs more often in patients with advanced stage of the disease with lower CD4 counts and associated with a high rate of morbidity and mortality. The objective of this study is to determine the prevalence and predictors of chronic kidney disease (CKD) amongst HIV patients on highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) at the University of Calabar Teaching Hospital, Calabar. Materials and methods: This was a cross-sectional study that was carried out over a 4-month period from May to August 2018. In all, a total of 118 patients with HIV on HAART were recruited into the study in a consecutive manner and their serum creatinine measured with the calculation of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). Other data collected were sex, age, weight, height, body mass index (BMI), waist hip ratio (WHR), packed cell volume, CD4 count etcetera. Data collected were inputted and analyzed with SPSS version 18, and statistical significance was taken to be p<0.05. Results: There were more females (69.5%) amongst the HIV participants and the prevalence of CKD was 15.3%. The risk factors seen to be associated with CKD were lower levels of CD4 count below 200 cells/μl, lower PCV, weight, BMI, and eGFR. Also, higher levels of WHR and creatinine were associated with CKD. Factors directly correlated with CKD were weight, BMI and CD4 count levels, while creatinine level was inversely correlated with CKD. However, a logistic regression model showed only creatinine to be a predictor of CKD. Conclusion: HIV patients on antiretroviral therapy, mainly the highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) have a relatively high prevalence of CKD of 15.3% and high level of serum creatinine was predictive of CKD in the logistic regression model in our study.
