Socioeconomic differentials in fertility in South Korea

BACKGROUND South Korea has one of the lowest fertility rates in the world, reaching a record low of 0.98 in 2018. Understanding socioeconomic differentials in fertility in South Korea has become an important social and policy issue. OBJECTIVE This study examines socioeconomic differentials in first and second childbirths among married women using various indicators of socioeconomic status at the individual and household level. METHODS Using the Korean Labor and Income Panel Study (1998–2017), discrete-time hazard models are used to evaluate the relationships between multiple indicators of socioeconomic status and the transition to first and second births. RESULTS Higher socioeconomic status (e.g., husband’s college education and standard employment, homeownership) is conducive to a transition to parenthood and second births. However, the wife’s employment – standard employment in particular – is negatively associated with both first and second childbirth. Among the indicators of socioeconomic resources, stable housing arrangements and the husband’s employment security appear to be the most important factors for a married couple’s fertility decisions. CONCLUSIONS Socioeconomically disadvantaged married couples tend to delay their transition to parenthood. In addition, those with high SES are more likely than their counterparts with low SES to have second births. If these patterns persist, they have important implications for the demographic process and social stratification. CONTRIBUTION The findings of this study contribute to a comprehensive understanding of socioeconomic differentials in fertility in South Korea and therefore have important policy implications. These findings will also prove useful to other societies with very low fertility rates.
Chemical characterization and Source apportionment of Fine particulate matter (PM2.5) at a Rural Site in North Central India

Characterization of PM 2.5 (fine particulate) matter was conducted at Sikandarpur (27.26 °N, 78.00 °E), a rural site in North Central India in summer (April 2015 to June 2015) and winter (December 2015 to February 2016) seasons. PM 2.5 mass and concentrations of major water-soluble inorganic ions (WSIIs: Cl, SO 4 , NO 3 , Na, NH 4 , K, Mg and Ca) were determined. PM 2.5 mass was categorized into 3 levels: <60, 60-100 and >100 μg m (average = 88.7±27.2 μg m). Correlation analysis of secondary inorganic species (SO 4 , NO 3 – and NH 4 ) showed the existence of (NH 4 ) 2 SO 4 , NH 4 NO 3 and NH 4 Cl, which were more predominant during winter season when NH 4 + concentrations were high. During winter, the concentrations of SIA (secondary inorganic aerosol) were influenced by local air masses. Clusters of backward air mass trajectories were simulated from HYSPLIT Model which revealed three clusters and originated from various directions and source regions. Clusters 1 and 3 showed the impact of air masses from local sources while cluster 2 was mainly influenced by long range transport. Positive matrix factorization (PMF) was employed for source apportionment. Three factors were isolated as potential sources: soil dust (42.3%), combustion (26.3%) and secondary aerosol formation (31.4%), respectively.

State regulation in adults scoring high versus low on ADHD symptomatology: A pupillometry study.

OBJECTIVE According to the state regulation deficit account, attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is associated with difficulties in maintaining an optimal level of cognitive arousal. As the precise locus of this problem is yet unknown, the present study investigated this through behavioral and pupillometry indices. METHOD Adults scoring high versus low on ADHD symptomatology carried out a target detection task at three event rate (ER) levels. Phasic pupil dilation was used as an index of cognitive effort, and tonic pupil size as an index of tonic arousal. RESULTS Performance and self-reports indicated state regulation difficulties in the high-ADHD group. Phasic pupil dilation was increased during slow ER, indicating additional effort allocation. Surprisingly, tonic pupil size was smallest in the fast ER, and group effects were absent for both pupil measures. CONCLUSION The high-ADHD group showed state regulation difficulties despite similar levels of additional effort allocation as reflected by phasic pupil responses.

Running head: CLASSIFYING PARTS OF SPEECH Classifying Parts of Speech through Google Sheets to Improve Reading Comprehension in EFL Learners

The purpose of this research was to find out whether word recognition through parts of speech classification using Google sheets improves reading comprehension in a group of 22 participants at a private school in Guayaquil. A mixed-method design was used to gather quantitative and qualitative data. Pre and post tests were used to measure students’ reading comprehension and quantify the number of words classified into parts of speech. After the innovation, it was demonstrated that participants increased their reading comprehension and improved their ability on word recognition through its classification into parts of speech. A medium effect size of 0.53 was calculated in reading comprehension results while a large effect size of 1.63 in parts of speech. Similarly, p values of 0.002 and 0.000 respectively indicated that the results did not occur by chance. Additionally, student’s perspectives towards learning vocabulary were measured with pre and post surveys using a Likert scale. It was shown that students improved their perspective after the innovation. These findings demonstrated that classifying vocabulary into parts of speech is an effective technique that can be used by teachers and learners in EFL reading comprehension classes.
Detection And Characterization of Forest Harvesting In Piedmont Through Sentinel-2 Imagery: A Methodological Proposal

This study evaluated the effectiveness of Sentinel-2 (S2) as a tool for early detection and estimation of forest harvesting in the Piemonte Region, which can be used by the regional forest administration. The priority was the detection, at the regional scale, of annual forest cover changes with the following goals: i) mapping of irregular (in respect of the regional Forestry Regulation) forest cuts; ii) quantification of the intensity of the silvicultural interventions. Results are expected to support forest police controls. The proposed procedure is based on a supervised classification approach based on Random Forest algorithm. Accuracy of harvested areas detection proved to be high (overall accuracy 98%). Characterization of the occurred forest cuts was obtained computingthe local coefficient of variationof the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) after harvesting, that showed to be a good predictor of forest harvesting intensity.
Polya's Problem Solving Strategy in Trigonometry: An Analysis of Students' Difficulties in Problem Solving

This study is focused on investigating errors made by students and the various causal factors in working on trigonometry problems by applying sine and cosine rules. Samples were taken randomly from high school students. Data were collected in two ways, namely a written test that was referred to Polya's strategy and interviews with students who made mistakes. Students' errors were analyzed with the Newman concept. The results show that all types of errors occurred with a distribution of 3.83, 19.15, 24.74, 24.89 and 27.39% for reading errors (RE), comprehension error (CE), transformation errors (TE), process skill errors (PSE), and encoding errors (EE), respectively. The RE, CE, TE, PSE, and EE are marked by errors in reading symbols or important information, misunderstanding information and not understanding what is known and questioned, cannot change problems into mathematical models and also incorrectly use signs in arithmetic operations, student inaccuracies in the process of answering and also their lack of understanding in fraction operations, and the inability to deduce answers, respectively. An anomaly occurs because it turns out students who have medium trigonometry achievements make more mistakes than students who have low achievement.
THE ABUNDANCE AND DIVERSITY OF GRASSHOPPER (ORTHOPTERA) IN BATU CITY, EAST JAVA KELIMPAHAN DAN KEANEKARAGAMAN BELALANG (ORTHOPTERA) DI KOTA BATU, JAWA TIMUR

Grasshoppers included in the order Orthoptera in the class of insects. Orthoptera orders are divided into two parts, which a large suborder Ensifera and Caelifera. Most grasshopper species have a role as herbivores and a good protein source for other animals. Grasshopper abundance and diversity of ecosystems are more stable in a low disorder and the other way around. The factors that affect grasshoppers which environmental factors such as the structure of the vegetation, atmospheric temperature, and relative humidity. The purpose of this study to analyze the abundance and diversity of grasshoppers in Batu City, East Java. The research location is in Tahura R. Soerjo Cangar, an agricultural area in Sumbergondo Village, Coban Talun, and Junrejo District. Measurement of biotic and abiotic factors was carried out at the grasshoppers living locations, and then the data were analyzed using the Shannon Wiener Diversity index (H'), Importance Value Index (INP), and Biplot analysis. The results were obtained as 754 individual grasshoppers from the Caelifera suborder. While 201 individuals were found in the Ensifera suborder. The results showed that the highest grasshopper abundance was at the Sumbergondo location, which for the Caelifera. While Ensifera on Tahura R. Soerjo Cangar location had the highest grasshopper abundance. The vegetation area influences abundance and diversity of grasshoppers both in the two suborders. The reduction of the grasshopper's natural habitat harms the survival of the grasshopper. Environmental factors and their characteristics can influence the abundance and diversity of insects, including grasshoppers in a habitat.

Financial Development and Natural Resources Dynamics in Saudi Arabia: Visiting ‘Resource Curse Hypothesis’ by NARDL and Wavelet-Based Quantile-on-Quantile Approach

This study analyses the impact of natural resource rent on financial development to test the resource curse hypothesis in Saudi Arabia on quarterly data span from 1985Q1 to 2017Q4. We employ two novel methodologies at same time such as nonlinear autoregressive model (NARDL) and Wavelet-based quantile-on-quantile estimation to check the asymmetric behaviour of natural resource rent on financial development. The findings of NARDL confirm the nonlinear behaviour of natural resource rent with financial development. The results also show real GDP, gross capital formation and institutional quality affect financial development positively. The empirical results of Wavelet-based quantile-on-quantile estimation method also reveal the heterogeneous response of natural resource rent effect when decomposes into different quantiles that become positive to negative. The results further explain that the natural resource rent has a positive effect in short-run, but it exerts an adverse effect on financial development after attaining stability.
Does Art Expression Help Mood Regulation?

Artistic creation can be used to give meaning to experiences or to express emotions thus providing some kind of relief and way to regulate emotions. In the context of using art as mood regulation and emotion expression, it is important to emphasize emotion regulation strategies such as distraction (shifting attention to artistic activities) and venting (expression of negative emotions). The aim of this study was to determine the effect of different art tasks on mood. Participants in this study (N=64) were distributed into four groups. All of them were exposed to negative mood induction, by watching the video clip. After that, positive and negative mood levels were measured. Subsequently, the first group produced artwork on what they experienced while watching the video (venting), the second group produced artwork on what makes them happy (positive distraction), the third group drew a stopwatch (neutral distraction) and the fourth group solved a labyrinth task (control). Participants’ mood levels were measured again. Results have shown statistically significant mood improvement in the positive affect within the positive distraction group as opposed to the expressive and non-art i.e. control group. Significant mood improvement in the negative affect was detected within the neutral distraction group in comparison to the control group. Qualitative analysis of art works produced in positive distraction and venting group has shown content differences. All participants in the positive distraction group depicted concrete content, while there was an equal amount of abstract and concrete content types in the venting group artworks. Artworks in the venting groups were evaluated as more mature in developmental level, while artworks produced in positive distraction group were estimated as those with higher line quality and that participants took more effort and paper space for their realization. The results of this research confirm that art expression, in this case visual, affects the emotional state of the individual, which opens the possibility of its use in clinical, but also everyday purposes.
A Comprehensive Analysis of the Achievable Channel Capacity in  $\mathcal{F}$  Composite Fading Channels

The $\mathcal {F}$ composite fading model was recently proposed as an accurate and tractable statistical model for the characterization of the composite fading conditions encountered in realistic wireless communication scenarios. In the present contribution, we capitalize on the distinct properties of this composite model to derive an analytical framework and then to evaluate the achievable channel capacity over $\mathcal {F}$ composite fading channels under different channel state information (CSI) assumptions. To this end, we first consider that the CSI is known only at the receiver, for which we derive novel analytic expressions for the channel capacity under optimum rate adaptation as well as for the corresponding effective capacity. Then, by considering that the CSI is known both at the transmitter and at the receiver, we derive novel analytic expressions for the channel capacity under optimum power and rate adaptation, channel inversion with fixed rate and truncated channel inversion with fixed rate. The derived analytic expressions for the considered scenarios are provided in closed-form and benefit from being tractable both analytically and numerically. This enables the derivation of simple bounds as well as approximate and asymptotic expressions, which are shown to be useful as they provide meaningful insights on the effect of fading conditions and/or latency on the overall system performance.
Clinical and Pathological Attributes of Hepatocellular Carcinoma Showing Lack of Restricted Diffusion on Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Objective: To correlate non-restricted diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) patterns of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), with histopathology and clinical outcome.Material and Methods: We retrospectively evaluated pre-treatment MRIs showing non-restricted diffusion HCC lesions (≥1-centimeter), excluding lesions with poor quality/non-available diffusion weighted imaging (DWI). Three radiologists evaluated 37 lesions in 27 patients, for: T1-weighted (T1W)/T2-weighted (T2W) characteristics, arterial enhancement, washout on portal venous/delayed phase, capsular enhancement, intralesional fat component and presence of cirrhosis. Histopathological reports were categorized as: well/moderate/poorly differentiated. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was calculated for clinical outcome.Results: From a total of 37 lesions, 24 lesions had available pathological grading, which revealed well and moderately differentiated equally (12 lesions each). None of the non-restricted diffusion HCCs were poorly differentiated. Thirty-five of the 37 lesions (94.6%) showed arterial enhancement with washout; 34 lesions (91.9%) were T2W hypo-/isointense, 33 esions (89.2%) were T1W iso-/hyperintense, 19 lesions (51.4%) showed capsular enhancement and 8 lesions (21.6%) had intralesional fat. These findings in the well and moderately differentiated groups were not significantly different (p-value 0.178-1.000). Overall mean-survival was 6.972 years (95% confidence interval (CI); 5.3-8.6). The 1-year, overall survival rate was 83.6% and for 3-years was 67.9%. Mean survival of well and moderately differentiated groups were 6.88 and 7.23 years (95% CI 5.7-8.0 and 4.4-10.1), respectively (p-value=0.319). Conclusion: DWI may help to predict histological grading of HCC and clinical outcome. We found that non-restricted diffusion HCCs were histologically well or moderately differentiated, with no significant difference of imaging findings and survival rates between the two groups. No poorly differentiated lesions were seen in our non-restricted HCC cohort.
Rising antimicrobial resistance pattern among the bacteria isolated from wound cases of domesticated animal in India

Antimicrobial resistance gained by the microorganisms is a global threat, which leads to economic loss as there will be treatment failure, loss of life, discovery of newer and better antimicrobials of any infections as there is need for discovery of newer and better antimicrobials. A total of forty five samples were collected from clinical wound cases in and around Parbhani Veterinary Hospitals. The total of 39 Gram negative and 17 Gram positive isolates includes Pseudomonas (24), E. coli (15) and Staphylococcus (17) spp, were confirmed by biochemical characterization. Susceptibility of isolates to seven antibiotics was tested using disc diffusion method according to the guidelines defined by Clinical Laboratory Standard Institute. Pseudomonas Isolates showing resistance to antibiotic for Ceftazidime, Levofloxacin were for E.coli isolates showing resistance to antibiotics Erythromycin, Tetracycline and For Staphylococcus isolates Penicillin and Enrofloxacin were resistance.
An Investigation on the Effectiveness of Forensic Audit as a Tool for Fraud Detection and Prevention

There has been a rapid increase in the number of fraud and corruption cases despite statutory audits being carried out. This led to the rise in demand for forensic auditing services and in response audit firms began offering this service. The audit firms however suffer from lack of adequate resources, training, knowledge and practical experience. Taking into consideration the impact of these factors this research sought to investigate the effectiveness of forensic audit as a tool for the detection and prevention of fraudulent activities using a Chartered Accountancy Company in Zimbabwe as a case study. The research utilized a mixed approach whereby quantitative data was gathered from closed ended questions quantified using the Likert scale. Qualitative data was gathered from open ended questions and 3 interviews were also conducted. A total of 20 questionnaires were distributed using random sampling, 19 were returned and one lost in the process. To analyze the data the multiple regression method was employed and data was presented using bar graphs and tables supported by explanations. The research revealed that there is a positive relationship between training, level of education and ability to detect and prevent fraud. It was also found that litigation support service has a huge role to play in the effectiveness of forensic auditing in detecting and preventing fraud. Recommendations were made towards increase in training sessions as well as engaging in training and development programs to fully equip auditors with knowledge.
Larvicidal, biological, and histopathological alterations induced by pomegranate peel extract, Punica granatum against Culex pipiens L. (Diptera: Culicidae)

Dipterous insects cause serious public health problems for both humans and animals (Linthicum, 2012). In Egypt, Culex pipiens (Diptera: Culicidae), has been investigated and declared as a vector of several diseases (El-Zayyat et al., 2017). It transmits Rift valley fever virus (Dodson et al., 2017), Japanese encephalitis (Chancey et al., 2015), Wuchereria bancrofti accredited for human lymphatic filariasis transmission (Joseph et al., 2011), and West Nile virus (Bassal et al., 2017). Culex pipiens was incriminated as the filarial vector in Egypt (El-Naggar et al., 2017) and has been recorded by all governorates without exception (Abdel-Shafi et al., 2016). Traditional insecticides were used to control mosquitoes (Killeen et al., 2017) but introduced problems in the environment by leaving undesirable residues in food, toxicological implications to human health, increased cost and handling hazards (Bonner and Alvanja, 2017). Flies have developed a certain level of resistance to most available insecticides ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Article History: Received: March 5, 2021 Accepted: March 28, 2021 Online: March 31, 2021 _______________
