Prediction of Academic Engagement Components based on Personality Characteristics and Psycho-social Climate of Classroom among High school Students

The purpose of this study was to predict of academic engagement in mathematics based on personality characteristics and psycho-social climate of classroom among high school students in Dameghan city in Iran. Participants were randomly selected via multi-stage cluster (513 boys and girls). They simultaneously completed 3 questionnaires: the MSLQ academic engagement, Michael and Goupil PSCC and personality characteristics of NEO-FFI. For data analyzing was used to multiple regressions. The findings indicated that academic engagement and its components could be predicted by personality characteristics (neuroticism, openness, extroversion and conscientiousness), but agreeableness couldn’t be predict academic engagement. Also psycho-social climate of classroom can be predicting academic engagement positively.
Gas and fluid injection triggering shallow mud mobilization in the Hordaland Group, North Sea

Abstract During a regional seismic interpretation study of leakage anomalies in the northern North Sea, mounds and zones with a highly chaotic seismic reflection pattern in the Tertiary Hordaland Group were repeatedly observed located above gas chimneys in the Cretaceous succession. The chaotic seismic reflection pattern was interpreted as mobilized sediments. These mud diapirs are large and massive, the largest being 100 km long and 40 km wide. Vertical injections of gas, oil and formation water are interpreted to have triggered the diapirs. On the eastern side of the Viking Graben, another much smaller type of mud diapir was observed. These near-circular mud diapirs are typically 1–3 km in diameter in the horizontal plane. Limited fluid injection from intra-Hordaland Group sands, through sand injection zones, into the upper Hordaland Group is interpreted to have triggered the near-circular diapirs. This observed ‘external’ type of mobilization was generated at shallow burial (<1000 m) and should be discriminated from the more common ‘internal’ type of mud diapirism that is generated in deep basins (>3000 m). The suggested model has implications for the understanding of the palaeofluid system, sand distribution, stratigraphic prediction within the chaotic zone, seismic imaging, and seismic interpretation of the hydrocarbon ‘plumbing’ system.
The Effect of Simulation Training on Nurses and Intern Nursing Students' Skill, Confident and Satisfaction Regarding Neonatal Resuscitation

Background: The use of simulation for teaching the knowledge, skills, and behaviors necessary for effective neonatal resuscitation has seen widespread growth and adoption across pediatric institutions. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of simulation training on nurses and intern nursing students’ skill, confident and satisfaction regarding neonatal resuscitation. Design: The study utilized a quasi-experimental research design. Sitting: The study was conducted at pediatric nursing skill laboratory at faculty of Nursing Benha University. The convenient sample were enrolled from 35 of nurses and 25 of intern nursing student worked at neonatal intensive care unit, Benha University. The tool of data collection: Tool I: A structured interviewing questionnaire consisted from two parts: Part1: Personal characteristics of the studied sample. Part two: Standardized Checklist for Neonatal Resuscitation adopted from (American Heart Association, 2015): Tool II: The Satisfaction and Confidence Learning Scale (National League for Nursing, 2012). Results: at baseline the nurses were higher in skill confident and satisfaction than intern nursing students. Meanwhile, post immediate the score improved in two groups. Thus there were correlation between confident skill and satisfaction of nurses than intern nursing students with their age. There was statistical significant difference in the nurses’ post immediately. Conclusion: simulation training increases the skill, confident and satisfaction of nurses and intern nursing student about neonatal resuscitation. Recommendation: Training program for nurses and intern nursing student who are in close contact with neonates once in every 2 months with reevaluation and feedback after each update is very important. Keyword: Simulation training, skill, confident and satisfaction, neonatal resuscitation.
The history of crustal uplift and metamorphic evolution of Panzhihua-Xichang micro-palaeoland, SW China: Constraints on Sm-Nd, 40Ar/39Ar and FT ages of granulites

Panzhihua-Xichang (Panxi) micro-palaeoland is the oldest terrane on the western margin of the Yangtze Block. Some intermediate-basic granulites are considered to be the crystalline basement of lower crust in the terrane. Granulite-facies metamorphism of the granulites was developed in the period from 1186 Mato 1128 Ma. The origin of granulites was related to the collision orogenic process occurring when the micro-palaeolands merged to form the Rodinia Supercontinent. Amphibolite-facies retrogressive metamorphism of granulites took place in the period from 877 Ma to 825 Ma. This period was consistent with the breakup time of the Rodinia Supercontinent. 40Ar/39Ar ages and fission track (FT) ages of granulites in the Panxi micro-palaeoland show that the vertical movement history of crustal rocks was a slow uplift process of the rigid terrane in the time from Neoproterozoic to Mesozoic. The subduction of India Plate towards Euroasia Plate resulted in the rapid uplift of the Qinghai-Tibetan Block in Cenozoic. Meanwhile, the Qinghai-Tibetan Block moved towards east. Consequently the Panxi terrane was uplifted rapidly. As a result of the collision orogeny between the Qinghai-Tibetan Block and the Panxi terrane, the granulite-facies crystalline basement in this region was exhumed and exposed to the surface.
Ice Regime and Ice Transport in Nares Strait

In order to assess the part played by ice export through the Canadian Arctic Archipelago in the heat budget of the Arctic Ocean, one of the factors that must be known is the length of time per year that the channels are sealed by fast ice. To establish this for Nares Strait, a series of flights was undertaken through the winters of 1970-71 and 1971-72. The resulting observations, combined with a search of historical records, suggest that the date of consolidation of ice in this channel tends to be late. A tentative calculation of annual export leads to the conclusion that the contribution of the Canadian channels may be greater than has been supposed.
First steps in the grape mechanization process in Brazil: quantitative features

Grape harvest is still fully manual in the majority of farms in Brazil (above 99%), yet the structure of the fields and the vine trellis are already prepared for it in a 24% of the cases. Besides, only the large-size farms are prepared for performing a detailed analysis of working capacity, product quality and losses; data of great value when trying to quantitatively address the incorporation of machinery. The fact that grape harvest in South America (and South Africa) be complementary in season compared to Europe, or North America, makes this potential market of Brazil an interesting option for European manufacturers. In this work, we have supervised a whole grape harvest season, in a 552ha farm, where both, mechanical (trailed) and manual harvest, are performed. Harvest performance is assessed by means of digital field notebooks and using georeferenced data (DGPS). A large variety of incidences have been found for the mechanized procedure due mainly to a deficient maintenance of the equipment, yet the increase in work capacity is clear. Also in this study an analysis of juice losses due to mechanized harvest is performed. The quantitative features are defined and have been compared to evaluate the difference among both procedures, together with a technical discussion in the prospective of the grape (harvest) mechanization in the near future in Brazil.
Territorios de la financiarización urbana y de las crisis inmobiliarias

¿La creciente financiarización y amplia movilidad geográfica de los capitales implica ubicuidad de los fondos inmobiliarios y demás fondos de inversión? ¿La globalización de las crisis económicas –detonadas también por la financiarización inmobiliaria- involucra la desterritorialización de las mismas? En otros términos, ¿hay ubicuidad o territorialidad en la financiarización de las ciudades y en las crisis inmobiliarias? Responder a estas cuestiones es el objetivo de esta investigación. Entre sus principales resultados destacan la metropolización del PIB y de los sectores financiero e inmobiliario; la geográficamente selectiva movilidad de los capitales; la concentración metropolitana de los fondos inmobiliarios; el inequitativo desbalance interregional de los fondos de pensiones; la metropolización de las burbujas inmobiliarias y las crisis económicas; la geografía del contagio internacional de las mismas; y sus heridas y cicatrices socioterritoriales, todos los cuales permiten afirmar que la financiarización no implica ubicuidad y que la globalización no involucra desterritorialización. Por el contrario, ambas, lejos de desdibujar las estructuras regionales y urbanas, han contribuido a agudizar la discriminación geográfica y la concentración, con un claro epicentro metropolitano. Does growing financialization and the widened geogr aphic mobility of capital imply the ubiquity of rea l estate and others types of investment funds? Does the glob alization of economic crises (unleashed by real est ate financialization) involve the deterritorialization of these crises? In others words, is ubiquity or te rritoriality prevalent in the financialization of cities and reg arding real estate crises? Responding to these quer ies is the objective of this research. The primary results inc lude: the metropolitanization of GDP and financial as well as real estate sectors; the geographically selectiv e mobility of capital; the metropolitan concentrati on of real estate funds; the unequal and inter-regional disequ ilibrium of pensions funds; the metropolitanization of real estate bubbles and economic crises; the geography o f the international contagion of these crises; and the corresponding socio-territorial wounds and scars. T hese results allow for the conclusion that financia lization does not imply ubiquity, and that the globalization does not involve deterritorialization. To the cont rary, far from undoing regional and urban structures, these p henomena have contributed to worsening geographic discrimination and concentration, with a clear metr opolitan epicenter.
Just compensation?

IN their recent article entitled ‘‘Improved compensation in flow cytometry by multivariable optimization,’’ Sug ar et al. (1) made the claim that introduction of double-stained controls improves the quality of the compensation process in flow cytometry. However, it seems that the conclusions presented by the authors may be well based on a logical fallacy. As demonstrated by Bagwell and Adams (2) and Roederer (3), cytometry compensation is in fact a special case of linear spectral unmixing. As such, the phenomenon known in cytometry as ‘‘spectral spillover’’ may be modeled using a basic linear spectral mixture equation. For every single measured cell
Differentiating Khmer Stoneware Production: An NAA pilot study from Siem Reap Province, Cambodia

We report analytical results for stoneware samples from four excavated Angkor-period kilns in the Greater Angkor area. Previous work has suggested that establishing distinct chemical signatures for kiln complexes in this region is problematic. The current study highlights the effectiveness of neutron activation analysis (NAA) for differentiating the products of Angkorian kiln complexes; it also confirms the viability of a larger-scale research programme to understand the relationship between Khmer stoneware production and patterns of distribution across the wider Angkorian territory. Evidence of ceramics excavated at kiln sites but produced elsewhere highlights the complexity of consumption patterns during the Angkorian period.
Late Miocene ostracods from the Fujikotogawa Formation, northern Japan – with reference to cold water species involved with trans-Arctic interchange

Seventy-eight ostracod species belonging to 38 genera are recognized from the late Miocene Fujikotogawa Formation (c. 7–8 Ma), 40 km NE of Akita City, northern Japan. Some 30–40% of the ostracod species belong to the cold water groups (circumpolar and cryophilic species) reported from Plio-Pleistocene formations yielding the Omma-Manganji Fauna, the name given by Otuka (1939) to the Pliocene Japanese cold water molluscan fauna. This study demonstrates that most ostracod species distinguished in deposits yielding the Omma-Manganji Fauna had already appeared in the late Miocene. At least 13 of the ostracod species have been reported from both the Arctic and northern Atlantic Oceans, implying migration from the Pacific to the northern Atlantic through the Arctic after the Bering Strait had been breached. The 13 circumpolar, nine cryophilic and four endemic cold water species are illustrated, with brief taxonomic notes.
Correlation and Path Analyses of Seed Yield in Okra (Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench) Grown Under Different Cropping Seasons

Inter-character correlations and path coefficient analyses of yield related characters were evaluated in some quantitative traits of okra (Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench) grown under different cropping seasons. Data collected were subjected to correlation and path coefficient analyses to determine the relationships among the characters, as well as the direct and indirect effects of some yield related characters to seed yield. Correlation coefficients among characters varied among seasons. Days to flowering, number of pods per plant, length of matured pod, weight of matured pods per plant, number of ridges per pod, number of seeds per pod and 100 seed weight had significant genotypic correlations with seed yield/plant across the seasons. Environmental correlation coefficients were generally low and non significant except for number of leaves per plant, length of matured pod, width of matured pod and weight of matured pods per plant in all the seasons of study. The genotypic correlation coefficients of eight selected characters with seed yield were partitioned into their direct and indirect effects. Weight of matured pods per plant had the largest direct effect on seed yield/plant in early rain 2005 (season 1) and off season 2006 (season 2), branch length in the early rain 2006 (season 3) and stem height at flowering in late rain 2006 (season 4). The residual effects of 0.16 in season 1, 0.74 in season 2, 0.55 in season 3 and 0.38 in season 4 respectively accounting for 84%, 26%, 45% and 62%, contributed by the characters under study.
Confocal Laser Scanning Microscopy and Raman Imagery of the Late Neoproterozoic Chichkan Microbiota of South Kazakhstan

Abstract Precambrian microbiotas, such as that permineralized in bedded and stromatolitic cherts of the late Neoproterozoic, 750- to 800-Ma-old, Chichkan Formation of South Kazakhstan, have traditionally been studied by optical microscopy only. Such studies, however, are incapable of documenting accurately either the three-dimensional morphology of such fossils or their chemical composition and that of their embedding minerals. As shown here by analyses of fossils of the Chichkan Lagerstätte, the solution to these long-standing problems is provided by two techniques recently introduced to paleontology: confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) and Raman imagery. The two techniques are used together to characterize, in situ and at micron-scale resolution, the cellular and organismal morphology of the thin section-embedded organic-walled Chichkan fossils. In addition, Raman imagery is used to analyze the molecular-structural composition of the carbonaceous fossils and of their embedding mineral matrix, identify the composition of intracellular inclusions, and quantitatively assess the geochemical maturity of the Chichkan organic matter. CLSM and Raman imagery are both broadly applicable to the study of fossils, whether megascopic or microscopic and regardless of mode of preservation, and both are non-intrusive and non-destructive, factors that permit their use for analyses of archived specimens. They are especially useful for the study of microscopic fossils, as is demonstrated in this first in-depth study of diverse taxa of a single Precambrian microbiota for which they provide information in three dimensions at high spatial resolution about their organismal morphology, cellular anatomy, kerogenous composition, mode of preservation, and taphonomy and fidelity of preservation.
The Devil in HML’s Details

In this article the authors challenge the standard method for measuring value that is used in academic work on factor pricing. The standard method uses lagged book data to calculate book-to-price (B/P) at portfolio formation. It aligns price data using the same lag, ignoring recent price movements. The authors propose two simple alternatives that use more timely price data; they then construct portfolios based on the different measures for a U.S. sample (from 1950 to 2011) and a global sample (from 1983 to 2011). They show that B/P ratios based on more timely prices better forecast true, unobservable B/P ratios at fiscal year-end. Value portfolios based on the timeliest measures earn statistically significant alphas, ranging between 305 and 378 basis points per year, versus the standard methods.
Do Third-Person Perceptions Amplify Exemplification Effects?

The presumed underlying mechanism of exemplification effects is that people generalize single-case media depictions and overestimate their position of social relevance, while at the same time neglecting more valid base-rate information. A 2 × 2 between-subjects experiment with n = 112 participants explored whether these exemplification effects can be explained by presumptions of strong media influences on others. Participants were shown a “rate my professor”-type website stimulus in which a single user had commented on a university course. Results show that fundamental assumptions of exemplification research interact with presumed media influences: exemplification effects can be amplified by third-person perceptions, particularly when people assess public opinion.
THE AGRICULTURAL SCIENCE SOCIETY OF THAILAND

The influence of different light quality in vitro culture of Vanilla pompana Schiede to accelerate shoot induction and shoot multiplication were investigated in this study. Nodal segments of V. pompana with one node (12–15 mm in length) were cultured for 90 days on MS medium supplemented with 30 gL-1 sucrose and 8 mgL-1 BA under 7 treatments of different light qualities, including fluorescent (FF) as the control, White (WW), Red + Blue 1 : 1 (RB), Red + White 1 : 1 (RW), Blue + White 1 : 1 (BW), Blue (BB) and Red (RR) light-emitting diodes (LEDs). The results demonstrated that bud of every nodal segments regenerated shoot and continuously elongated to 0.8–2.0 cm. A combination between blue and red LEDs enhanced vegetative growth of the first regenerated shoot with increased shoot length, node number and leaf number, while monochromatic red lighting suppressed these factors. Furthermore, white LEDs resulted in the highest percentage of callus induction from nodal segment with a rapid increase for first 30 days of the culture period. Multiple shoots generated from both lateral bud of first main shoot and differentiated from callus at 90 days. The monochromatic blue LEDs promoted the greatest callus differentiation with the highest total multiple shoots. The blue (BB) and red (RR) LED light promote the highest number of multiple shoots regeneration as same as fluorescent light. These results are able to contribute to use the blue (BB) and red (RR) LED light substitution of fluorescence light for V. pompana micropropagation and can reduced annual electrical cost
Family genealogical records: cleansing and social reception (Portugal - 16th to 18th century)

This study looks at the importance of genealogical knowledge during the Early Modern Era in Portugal, and the way in which it influenced the various interests that marked everyday social life, not only in the field of the appraisals that were necessary for a person to hold a title in the courts, but also in regard to the ennoblement mechanisms and the economy of reward (economia da mercê) Thus, the activity of genealogists became incisive and prominent during a period in which it was deemed vital to prove purity of blood and nobility for appearance’s sake, paying great attention to origin, birth and kinship. It therefore does not come as a surprise that such activity was to have quite an impact, nor that such widespread manipulation and abuse should arise from it.
Grain-Size Analyses of Mica Within Sediments and the Hydraulic Equivalence of Mica and Quartz

ABSTRACT Due to its flatness, the transport and depositional regimes of mica are of particular interest in paleohydraulic interpretations of sediments. The present study examines the hydraulic equivalence of mica and quartz in a graded turbidite from the Capistrano Formation (Miocene-Pliocene) of California. Measurements of settling rates of mica grains from the deposit were obtained, and these served as the basis for the derivation of equations for the prediction of mica settling rates as a function of the flatness of the mica plate as well as its diameter. One such relationship applies only to small grains in the Stokes range while a second applies to the full range of mica sizes. It was also determined that when mica is sieved the grains pass diagonally through the square sieve openings so hat the intermediate axial diameter corresponds closely in size to the sieve diagonal. The results of these analyses permit more refined determinations of mica grain sizes and quantitative examinations of the hydraulic equivalence of mica and quartz. Although the mica in the turbidite is consistently coarser than the quartz, as expected for hydraulic equivalence, this detailed analysis indicates that they are not precisely equivalent, the mica having lower settling rates than the quartz deposited at the same time.
Social Capitals and English Language Learning in an Iranian Language Institute

This study aimed to 1) explore the social capitals of students who had registered in the three branches of Khorasan Language Institute (KLI) to learn English, 2) establish their factorial validity and 3) explore their relationship with English language achievement. To this end the 40-item Social Capital Scale (SCS) developed by Khodadady and Alaee (2012) and validated with grade three senior high school students in Mashhad was modified and administered to 493 female English language learners (ELLs) in the KLI. The application of Principal Axis Factoring and Varimax with Kaiser Normalization to the collected data showed that the SCS consisted of seven factors, i.e., Social Attachment, Parental Supervision, Parental Expectation, Helpful Others, Social Contact, Religious Activities, and Parent Availability. When the SCS was correlated with the ELLs’ scores on oral and written examinations, no significant relationship could be found between social capitals and English language achievement. Out of seven factors, only Helpful Others correlated significantly but negatively with ELLs' English achievement. The results are discussed from both empirical and theoretical perspectives and suggestions are made for future research.
