Structural Relationships Among Academic Motivation, Procrastination and Perfectionism: A Modelling Study

The ever-increasing demands for a better and deeper understanding of the nature of learning has urged researchers to examine the factors affecting the learning process. The purpose of this study was to determine whether a model could be formed on the ground of the structural relationship pattern among motivation, procrastination and perfectionism. The participants consisted of 210 students studying at a state university in İstanbul. As data collection tools, Academic Motivation Scale, Frost Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale and Aitken Academic Procrastination Inventory were administered to the study group. Data obtained were analysed using SPSS 21.0 and AMOS 21.0 software program through Structural Equation Modelling. Results indicated that maladaptive perfectionism, as was the case with procrastination, was affected by intrinsic and extrinsic motivation as well as amotivation. On the other hand, adaptive perfectionism was affected by intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. In the light of the theoretical background, the suggested model was tested and after necessary path analysis, it was revised and the structural relationship pattern among motivation, procrastination and perfectionism was suggested as a model.
Prenominal Sentential Modifiers : A Study in Acquisition Learnability and Syntax

In Japanese, there are three kinds of no. One is the genitive Case marker. The others are of the categories N and C. The genitive Case marker no appears after NP and PP prenominal modifiers, but not after CPs (relative clauses), as shown in (1). In various syntactic analyses of these structures, a no-insertion operation is proposed to insert no in the appropriate structural positions (Saito (1982), Fukui (1986)).
Surgical Site Infections of Head and Neck Cancer Surgery

Introduction: Surgery in patients with head and neck cancers is frequently complicated by multiple stages of procedure that includes significant surgical removal of all or part of an organ with cancer, tissue reconstruction, and extensive neck dissection. Postoperative wound infections, termed ‘surgical site infections’ are a significant impediment to head and neck cancer surgery and recovery, and need to be addressed. Areas Covered: Up to 10-45% of patients undergoing head-and-neck cancers surgery develop SSIs. SSIs can lead to delayed wound healing, increased morbidity and mortality as well as costs. Consequently, SSIs need to be avoided where possible, as even the surgery itself impacts on patients’ subsequent activities and their quality of life, which is exacerbated by SSIs. Several risk factors for SSIs
GEODESIC FLOW

In this lecture note we will introduce the notion of Geodesics and Geodesic flow for a Riemannian manifold equipped with the Riemannian connection. Intuitively a geodesic is a curve with zero acceleration on the manifold M . When the manifold is R, then geodesics are precisely the constant velocity curve (c′(t) = v is constant, where tangent space of points in R is canonically identified with R). For a smooth surface in R, geodesics are the curves with acceleration c′′(t) (in the ambient space R) perpendicular to the surface. Such characterization was studied by Bernoulli and Euler, but Gauss understood relation between geodesics and curvature of the surface. Geodesics starting at a point p ∈ M are uniquely defined a the starting velocity v ∈ TpM . This statement implies that points in the tangent bundle TM defines geodesics. When we look at the ‘time evolution’ of the geodesics on the tangent bundle TM , we get a local flow (and vector field) on TM which we call Geodesic flow. We will give the rigorous definition in the next section. Geodesic flow enables us to define a canonical exponential map which is diffeomorphism from an open ball in TpM to an open neighborhood of p. I would like to end the introduction by giving an easy example describing geodesic flow. Let M = S be a circle defined by x + y = 1 in R with the induced Riemannian metric, then the tangent bundle TM can be identified with the cylinder x + y = 1 in R, where v = (p, z) = (x, y, z) ∈ TpM is an element with |v|p = |z| (and counter clockwise is the positive direction). In this setting the Geodesic flow on TM is given by φ : R × TM → TM defined by φ(t, (cos θ0, sin θ0, z)) = (cos(θ0 + tz), sin(θ0 + tz), z). Observe that if π : TM → M is the projection, then π ◦ φ(t, (p, z)) is the geodesic passing through p with velocity z (i.e uniform circular motion with speed |z|).
EFEITO AGUDO DO ALONGAMENTO ESTÁTICO SOBRE O DESEMPENHO NA RESISTÊNCIA DE FORÇA EM HOMENS TREINADOS: ESTUDO PILOTO

O alongamento ativo-estatico nao e indicado previamente ao exercicio de forca por induzir ao um menor desempenho. No entanto, nao se sabe se o mesmo ocorre no exercicio de resistencia de forca (RF). Deste modo, o objetivo do estudo foi verificar o efeito agudo do alongamento ativo-estatico sobre o desempenho na RF em homens treinados. Para tanto, a amostra foi composta por cinco homens (24,6±3,58 anos) fisicamente ativos e com experiencia previa em musculacao (≥ seis meses) que foram submetidos ao teste de uma repeticao maxima (1RM) no supino horizontal (SH) e cadeira extensora de joelhos (CE), e duas sessoes experimentais: 1) sessao de exercicio de RF com 50% de 1RM ate a falha concentrica no SH e, em seguida, na CE (intervalo de 10min) sem alongamento previo; e 2) igualmente a primeira sessao, no entanto, com alongamento ativo-estatico com amplitude maxima por 30s previamente ao exercicio. A normalidade foi verificada pelo teste de Shapiro-Wilk e o teste de Wilcoxon foi aplicado para comparacao entre as sessoes. A sessao com alongamento previo ao exercicio promoveu menor (p<0,05) desempenho no SH. Nao houve diferenca (p=0,063) do desempenho entre as sessoes na CE. Em conclusao, o alongamento ativo-estatico realizado antes do exercicio de RF provoca diminuicao no desempenho durante o exercicio de membros superiores, por outro lado, nao modifica o desempenho no exercicio de membros inferiores em homens treinados. ABSTRACTAcute effects of static stretching on strength endurance performance in trained men: pilot studyThe static active stretching is not recommended before strength exercise because it induces a poor performance. However, it is not clear if this form of stretching can also induce a poor performance in strength endurance (SE) exercises. Therefore, the main objective of this study was to investigate the acute effects of the static active stretching on SE performance in trained men. The sample was composed by five physically active men (24.6±3.58 years) with previous experience in strength training (≥ six months), who were submitted to one-repetition maximum test (1RM) on bench press (BP) and leg extension machine (LEM), and two experimental sessions: 1) session SE exercise on 50% of 1RM until concentric failure on the BP followed by the same amount in the LEM (10min of resting time) without previous stretching in both exercises; 2) second session following the same pattern of the first session; although, it was added a full range-of-motion 30-second static active stretching before the exercise. The normality was analyzed by the Shapiro-Wilk test, and the Wilcoxon test was applied to compare the sessions. The session with stretching before the exercise resulted in a poor (p<0.05) performance in BP. There was no difference (p=0.063) between the sessions in the LEM. In conclusion, the static active stretching before the SE exercise resulted in a decreased performance during the upper limbs exercise. On the other hand, it did not affect the lower limbs exercise performance in trained men.

Newton-Multigrid solver for Navier-Stokes Equations in 3D

The aim of this paper is to describe a new, fast and robust solver for 3D flow problems which are described by the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. The correspondig simulations are done by a monolithic 3D flow solver, i.e. velocity and pressure are solved at the same time. During these simulations the convective part is linearized using two different methods: Fixpoint method and Newton method. The Fixpoint method is working in a quite robust way, but it has a slow convergence depending on the Reynolds number. In contrast, if the Newton method does not fail, the simulations which are done by this linearization converge typically much faster. In the case of the Newton method quadratical convergence is obtained. The challenging part is to find a method which unites the stability of the Fixpoint method and the fast convergence of the Newton method. For the resulting operator-adaptive Newton method, several numerical examples are considered: The flow around a sphere and a cylinder is simulated to analyze the behaviour of the used methods. Since the behaviour of the linearization types is different between each of them, the results caused by varying Reynolds numbers and the arised equations are analyzed concerning the efficiency of each method.
Investors’ Attention and American Depository Receipts Pricing: Evidence from Indian Stocks

This paper is an attempt to examine the impact of investors’ attention on returns and the traded volume of American Depository Receipts prices for selected ten Indian Stocks. The Google search volume index has been used as a proxy for investors’ attention in this paper. However, factors such as size and book to market ratio were used to indicate as control variables. The results reveal that investors’ attention variable significantly affects ADRs traded volume, but has no impact on the ADR prices.
ANALYSIS OF BONE LESIONS IN TERTIARY CARE CENTER - A REVIEW OF 79 CASES

Background: Bone tumours are comparatively uncommon among wide array of lesions and pose a diagnostic problem as they constitute a small portion of diagnostic experience among pathologist. Aims & Objective: To study the histopathological features of bone lesions and their correlation with age of presentation, site and type of lesion. Material and Methods: The present study was carried out at a tertiary care center from October 2003 to January 2006. A total of 79 bone lesions were analyzed. A detail clinical and radiological history was taken. Bone biopsy was performed by either percutaneous method with needle/drill or Open surgical biopsy. If attached soft tissue was also received, bony tissues were put for decalcification (10% nitric acid) and soft tissue was immediately fixed into 10 % formalin and processed by paraffin embedding. Sections were stained by haematoxylin and eosin stain. Results: Incidence of non-neoplatic and benign neoplastic lesions was 68.40% while that of malignant lesion was only 20.22%. Younger patients (58.24%) and males (59.49%) were more commonly affected. Amongst non-neoplastic lesions, tuberculous lesions (17.72%) were commonest while exostosis (15.19%) and osteosarcoma and chondrosarcoma were common benign and malignant neoplastic lesions respectively. Overall most common bone involved was femur. In tuberculous lesions, vertebrae were commonly involved. Osteolytic lesions were more common. Metaphysis was the commonest site. Conclusion: Though bone tumours are less common lesions and pose a diagnostic problem, if viewed in perspective of clinico-radiology and histopathology, a correct diagnosis can be reached.

Factors Influencing Consumer Affection and Consumer Engagement in Mobile Application

The need for internet technology is growing rapidly, leading many companies to develop services that can make it easier for consumers to access even when they are mobile. Mobile application is one of the solutions for consumers to connect with the internet anywhere through their gadget. PT. Telekomunikasi Indonesia, Tbk. , one of the internet service providers in Indonesia, saw that chance and developed mobile application wifi.id GO that can connect seamlessly through Indonesia’s Wi-Fi network. During the year 2018, however, of consumers of wifi.id GO that had the application in their gadget, only 1.9% of users install it throughout the year. Therefore, it is important to understand how to design mobile application wifi.id GO-based on consumer preferences so the consumers continuing to using the application is increased and builds a sustained relationship. This research seeks to understand which features of mobile application wifi.id GO stimulate consumer affection, leading to continuous use and consumer engagement behavior. This study used an online questionnaire to collect data from 364 respondents. The data were analyzed using Structural Equations Modeling. The results indicate that features such as information quality and design solutions will result in higher affection leading to continuous usage and consumer engagement behavior of mobile application wifi.id GO. Moreover, consumer affection positively influenced users' intention to continuous usage, and also positively influenced users’ consumer engagement behavior of mobile application wifi.id GO. However, functionality and consumer interaction features are not found to be positively related to consumer affection with mobile application wifi.id GO.
Effect of Enlarged Adenoid on Middle Ear Function

Introduction ypertrophy of nasopharyngeal tonsil sufficient to produce symptoms called adenoids which occur most commonly between the ages of 3 to 7 years. Pathological enlargement of nasopharyngeal tonsil was first described by Meyer in 1870 who called the condition 'Adenoid vegetation’. An acute upper respiratory tract infection causes hyperplasia and hypertrophy of the lymphoid follicles which causes enlargement of adenoid. It has been suggested that allergic episodes also causes adenoid enlargement.
The effects of financial derivatives on analyst coverage decisions

We investigate whether and how a firm’s use of derivatives influences analyst coverage decisions. Using a difference-in-differences design, we find that, relative to a matched control sample of non-users, analyst coverage for new derivatives users increases significantly after derivatives initiation. We further find that this increase in coverage is driven by analysts with less expertise, as reflected by years of experience and All-Star status. Overall, despite the notorious complexity of derivatives, analysts with less expertise begin covering new derivatives users, presumably to signal their talent, and, as a result, produce the less accurate and more dispersed earnings forecasts shown by prior research (Chang et al. 2015) for these firms.
Types of Products and Appeals in Japanese Advertisements of the 1990s and 2000s

A total of 240 Japanese commercials from the 1990s and 2000s were collected, and the types of product they endorsed and their informational and emotional appeals were examined. A hundred and twenty TV commercials each from 1996 and 2006 were recorded and analyzed to determine how informational or emotional appeals were. Results showed that some product advertisements including those related to image improvements, and alcohol/cigarettes, were seen significantly more often in the 1990s than in the 2000s. Informational appeals of price, new ideas/models, and nutrition, appeared significantly more frequently in the 1990s than in the 2000s. Five kinds of emotional appeals including appeals to the elderly, health, real life, romance, and tradition, were also seen significantly more frequently in the ads from the 1990s than in those from the 2000s. Informational and Emotional Appeals Informational appeals are known for providing information about a product such as price, quality, product performance, and research (Harmon, Razzouk, and Stern, 1983). Royo-Vela (2005) summarized the studies of Puto and Wells (1984), and Puto and Hoyer (1990). Additionally, Royo-Vela summed up by describing an informational appeal as “that which supplies factual, arguably verifiable information, or logically relevant to the product, to such an extent that consumers acquire greater skills in the assessment of the product attributes after viewing this kind of advertisement” (p. 16). It is believed that these kind of informational appeals help consumers to make a logical decision when purchasing a product, though having too much information may not work well, since people get bored and stop viewing such material (Elpers, Wedel, and Pieters, 2003). While informational appeals focus on information about a product, emotional appeals promote consumers to make emotional, rather than rational decisions. They mean to “arouse a range of feelings in the audience. The aim of emotional or sentiment advertising is to trigger an emotional response in the receptor when exposed to the commercial” (Aaker and Stayman,
THE RELATIVE ACCEPTABILITY OF TRADABLE CARBON PERMITS AND FUEL PRICE INCREASES AS MEANS TO REDUCE CO2 EMISSIONS FROM ROAD TRANSPORT

Climate change is an urgent issue rapidly reaching the top of the political agenda. Due to the quantity of release and existing atmospheric concentrations, Carbon Dioxide (CO2) has been identified as the most significant greenhouse gas and the greatest contributor to the process of global warming (IPCC, 2001). Road transport currently accounts for 26% of UK CO2 emissions, the majority resulting from personal use (DfT, 2005a). With the aim of contributing to the growing debate regarding the application of pricing or trading measures to achieve emissions reductions (Keay-Bright and Fawcett, 2005; Raux, 2005), two comparable measures designed to achieve a significant reduction of CO2 emissions from personal road transport were explored a Tradable Carbon Permit scheme and a system of fuel price increases. This paper provides unique empirical data focusing on the behavioral response, impacts, fairness, perceived effectiveness and acceptability of both measures.
CRP and metabolic syndrome in obstructive Sleep Apnea

Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is frequently associated with some atherosclerotic risk factors, such as hypertension, abnormal glucose metabolism, and obesity, and with increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality (1–4). These risk factors are components of the metabolic syndrome, which has also been shown to be associated with an increased risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular morbidity and mortality (5–7).
Mixed Natural and Forced Convective Heat Transfer from a Horizontal Array of High Aspect Ratio Heated Isothermal Cylinders Placed in a Vertical Forced Flow

Heat transfer from an array of identical horizontal cylinders with a rectangular cross-section and a relatively large height-to-width ratio has been numerically studied. There is a vertically upward forced flow over the cylinders which are all heated to the same uniform surface temperature. The flow conditions considered are such that mixed forced and natural convective flow exists. The flow has been assumed to be two-dimensional and the Boussinesq approximation has been adopted in dealing with the buoyancy forces. Attention has been restricted to the flow of air and results have therefore only been obtained for a Prandtl number of 0.74. Results for a relatively wide range of the other solution parameters have then been obtained. The flow conditions considered are such that laminar or turbulent flow can exist. Attention here has been directed at determining the effect of the flow parameters on the mean heat transfer rate from the cylinders.
THE INFLUENCE OF AQUASORB ON MORPHO-PHYSIOLOGICAL PROPERTIES ON CORN AND SOYBEANS YIELD, IN THE CONDITIONS OF IASI COUNTY

The experience was founded in 2010 in the Didactic Station of the University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine "Ion Ionescu de la Brad" Iasi, Ezăreni farm. The research goal is to introduce a synthetic macromolecular compound in the technology crop. In this study we aimed to evaluate the influence of the hydrophilic polymer (Aquasorb) on some morpho-physiological properties and on corn and soybeans production, in the soil and climatic conditions of Iasi county. Our experience is polifactorial, resembling AxBxC type, being located by the randomized multilevel blocks method in three replications. The experimental factors are: the crop, the polymer dose and the administration time of the polymer. There were administered doses of 15 kg/ha Aquasorb on the variant V2 and 30 kg/ha on variant V3, comparing them with the V1 control variant, on which we did not apply any treatment. The polymer was incorporated in spring 2010 on half of the experimental plot (5/10 m 50 m 2 ) using disc harrow before sowing and in autumn 2010 and the other half of the experimental plot (5/10 m 50 m 2 ), under the autumn plowing after harvesting the prior plants. We analyzed the influence Aquasorb on plant height, leaf chlorophyll content and the production of corn and soybean crops.
