Conceptualization Of Negative Attitudestowards People with Schizophrenia in Turkey

Previous studies have shown that stigmatizing attitudes toward individuals with schizophrenia are common in Turkey, and Turkish society has a tendency to reject such individuals. The purpose of this paper, therefore, is to provide an overview of negative attitudes towards people with schizophrenia in Turkey. A systematic search of the literature in Academic Search Complete, CINAHL, ERIC, MEDLINE, and PsycINFO was performed to review these negative attitudes. Six major themes were identified in 32 studies: (a) health care providers’ negative attitudes, (b) family’s and caregivers’ negative attitudes, (c) the public’s negative attitudes, (d) students’ negative attitudes, (e) perceived and internalized stigma, and (f) stigma reduction. The results supported the hypothesis that health care providers, caregivers and families, the public and students have negative attitudes toward people with schizophrenia, which is consistent with the results of studies conducted worldwide.

Antecedents of women entrepreneurs’ performance: an empirical perspective

PurposeThis study investigates the antecedents of women entrepreneurs’ performance in an emerging economy. Based on the review of extant literature, six antecedents of women entrepreneurs’ performance, namely, motivation, networking, socio-cultural, business environment, training and development, and financials were proposed and subsequently empirically examined.Design/methodology/approachGaps in the literature were identified, based on which the theoretical background of the study was formulated. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) were applied to confirm the factor-item structure. The impact of explanatory variables was investigated using the structural equation modeling (SEM) based path analysis.FindingsThe study concludes that motivation, networking, socio-cultural, business environment, training and development, and financials have a significant positive influence on the performance of the women entrepreneurs.Originality/valueThere is a dearth of quality research that holistically investigates the key antecedents of performance among women entrepreneurs. Most existing studies have not considered the possible antecedents of performance concomitantly. Additionally, the relationships have been measured individually rather than at the construct level. Further, a majority of the existing studies investigating the performance of women entrepreneurs have been confined to settings within developed countries. By providing insight into the antecedents of women entrepreneurs’ performance elsewhere, the present study attempts to bridge these identified gaps. This study is expected to advance the knowledge about the factors influencing the performance of women entrepreneurs in emerging economies such as India. These insights will likely be valuable when creating policies related to this crucial aspect of economic development.
Effect of plasma treatment on the bond of soft denture liner to conventional and high impact acrylic denture materials

Background: The main drawback of soft lining materials was that they debonded from the denture base after a certain period of usage. Therefore, the purpose of this research was to determine the impact of oxygen and argon plasma treatment on the shear bonding strength of soft liners to two different kinds of denture base materials: conventional acrylic resin and high impact acrylic resin. Materials and Methods: Heat cure conventional and high impact acrylic blocks (40 for each group) were prepared. A soft liner connected the final test specimen of two blocks of each acrylic material. Shear bond strength (SBS) was assessed using universal testing machine. Additional blocks were also prepared for analyzing Vickers microhardness, contact angle, FTIR and AFM. The results were statistically analyzed using paired-sample T-test and independent-samples T-test (α=0.05). Results: The results showed a highly significant increase in SBS following plasma treatment with the highest mean value observed in plasma treated high impact acrylic specimen. Along with a significant rise in wettability, while microhardness was preserved. Conclusion: In conclusion, oxygen and argon plasma treatment was significantly effective in enhancing the SBS between soft liner and acrylic materials.

Stress-coping Strategies amongst Newly Qualified Primary and Lower Secondary School Teachers with a Master’s Degree in Norway

ABSTRACT Research studies have documented the causes of perceived stress in teachers, while less attention has been given to identifying appropriate stress-management strategies. The aim of this article is to provide insight into the strategies for coping with stress that newly qualified primary and lower secondary school teachers with a five-year integrated master’s degree from a Norwegian teacher education institution employ in their daily work after three years in the profession and the characteristics of these strategies. The data material consists of qualitative interviews with 27 teachers. The study shows that the teachers manage stress through: a) openness with and support from colleagues and family, b) shielding and escape, c) learning established stress-coping strategies and d) planning, structuring, and lowering ambitions. The themes are discussed with theoretical concepts of problem-, emotion- and relationship-focused coping strategies. The study discusses the limitations of Norwegian teacher education related to the handling of work stress.
Electrostatic Conditions That Produce Fast Breakdown in Thunderstorms

Fast breakdown (FB), a breakdown process composed of systems of high‐velocity streamers, has been observed to precede lightning leader formation and play a critical role in lightning initiation. Vigorous FB events are responsible for the most powerful natural radio emissions on Earth, known as narrow bipolar events (NBEs). In this paper, an improved version of the Griffiths and Phelps (1976, https://doi.org/10.1029/jc081i021p03671) model of streamer breakdown is used alongside supervised machine learning techniques to probe the required electric fields and potentials inside thunderstorms to produce FB and NBEs. Our results show that the electrostatic conditions needed to produce + FB observed in New Mexico at 9 km altitude and − FB in Florida at 14 km altitude are about the same, each requiring about 100 MV potential difference to propagate 500 m. Additionally, the model illustrates how electric field enhancement ahead of propagating FB can initiate rebounding FB of the opposite polarity.
Discrimination the accessions of grapevine cultivars Taferyalt with phyllometric parameters

— The northwestern region of Morocco is rich in native vine cultivars where the problem of synonymy and homonymy is very common and causes the spread of varieties or the color of the fruits. The name of the grape cultivar Taferyalt has become inseparable from the name of the northwestern region where the cultivar is met under different names. In front of this situation, we tried to classify the accessions which have the same ampelographic character but with the different names (synonyms) or which showed several names which are given to the same variety (homonyms). The results of the phyllometric analyzes confirmed that these accessions are different.
Study of variability in dynamic simulations of turnouts using the PGD method

The design and maintenance of turnouts implies considering a great number of external factors that have an effect on their structural integrity. The proper generalised decomposition (PGD) method is used in this paper to carry out a parametrised study of the vehicle-track interaction in a non-intrusive way. The reduced model is built using a defined domain for some of the influence parameters: the vehicle speed, the wheel/rail friction coefficient and the axle load. A major assumption of the PGD solution is its ability to express quantities of interest in a separated form. One of the goals is to show the relevance of separability in the field of railway dynamics. The example of a switch is chosen as a validation of method. The output of the PGD model is the dissipated energy per metre in the switch rail. The robustness of the reduced model is verified using the complete solution. Probabilistic simulations are carried out in order to explore the possibility of using the PGD solution as a numerical abacus in dynamic simulations of switches and crossings. These first tests show that the PGD solution is a promising reduction model method in railway dynamics.
Haptoglobin Gene Polymorphism among Sickle Cell Patients in West Cameroon: Hematological and Clinical Implications

Haptoglobin is a protein involved in protecting the body from the harmful effects of free hemoglobin. The haptoglobin gene exhibits a polymorphism, and the different genotypes do not have the same capacity to combat the free hemoglobin effects. The present study aimed at determining the polymorphic distribution of haptoglobin in sickle cell patients (SCPs) from West Cameroon and their impact on the hematological parameters, as well as clinical manifestations of the disease severity. Haptoglobin genotype of 102 SCPs (SS) and 115 healthy individuals (60 AA and 55 AS) was determined by allele-specific polymerase chain reaction, and the complete blood count was determined using the AutoAnalyser. Results showed that the genotype Hp2-2 was significantly (p < 0.05) represented in SS patients (54%) than in controls AA and AS (27% and 29%, respectively), while Hp2-1 was mostly found (p < 0.05) in AS (42%) and AA (38%), against 15% in SS. The allelic distribution in SS patients was Hp2: 0.613, Hp1S: 0.304, and Hp1F: 0.084. In AA and AS controls, the proportions of the Hp1 and Hp2 alleles were similar (around 0.5 each), with 0.282 for Hp1S and 0.218 for Hp1F in AS and 0.283 for Hp1S and 0.258 for Hp1F in AA. The distribution of the haptoglobin genotypes did not reveal any significant difference across hematological parameters and clinical manifestations of disease severity in SCP and controls. SCP with Hp1S-1F genotype presented the highest level of hemoglobin. Although Hp2-2 was more frequent in SS patients, it appeared not to be related to the hematological parameters and to the disease's severity. Further investigations are necessary to explore the impact of Hp polymorphism such as antioxidant, lipid profile, and functionality of some tissues in SCP in Cameroon.
Challenges in Trade openness, Governance and Industrial Productivity in West African Economic and Monetary Union (WAEMU) Countries

Inward-looking development strategies can lead to marginalization and slow growth especially for the small African domestic markets. However, when weak economies try to participate in the global economy studies in Southeast Asia show they end with significant challenges. Therefore, this paper analyzed the effects of trade openness on industrial development in West African Economic and Monetary Union (WAEMU) countries. However, due to data availability, the study covered seven countries over the 1996 – 2018 period. The pooled-mean group method was used in the analysis. The results of the analysis showed that, in the long run, trade openness did not benefit the development of the industrial sector in all the countries studied. However, in the short run, the results revealed the specificities of each country. These short-run results showed that trade openness has a positive and significant effect on the industry added values observed in countries such as Burkina Faso, Niger and Togo. The results also showed that government inefficiency has a negative impact on the development of the industrial sector in the long -run for all the countries studied. Furthermore, the indicator capturing the degree of freedom of corruption had a positive impact on the development of the industrial sector in the short or long run. Therefore, active engagement with the forces of globalization need strategic approaches in their integration in developing countries.
The Potential of Cylindrical Piezoelectric Transducers for High-Frequency Acoustic Energy Harvesting

The work presented in this paper studies the potential of cylindrical piezoelectric transducers for harvesting high-frequency acoustic energy. The cylinder was made of a modified PZT (lead zirconate titanate) and had the shape of a squared cylinder with a side length of 4 cm and a wall thickness of 1 mm. The study used open-circuit measurements to study the relationship between the sound wavelength and the cylinder size and its effect on the performance of energy harvesting. The cylinder was found to give the best performance at a frequency of 20 kHz. In addition to open-circuit measurements, closed-circuit measurements were performed to demonstrate the ability to dissipate energy harvested from 20 kHz sound waves across an electric load. The load was designed in a series of experimental steps that aimed at optimizing an impedance-matched energy harvester. Finally, the cylinder was tested at the optimized load conditions, and it was possible to harvest and store energy with a power of 67.6 μW and harvesting efficiency of 86.1%.
The impact of risks in limiting E-commerce

Most E-commerce transactions nowadays are electronically executed via well-known internet websites (Amazon, Alibaba, eBay, and others). Online sales in the Middle East, including Jordan, are estimated to count 2% of the overall retail sales, that is too much lower than the 15% in developed markets (Mehta & Bhandari, n.d.); and online sales in Jordan are still limited (Statista, 2020). Therefore, this study comes to determine the threats limiting E commerce in Jordan. The services sector accounts for about two thirds of the Jordanian economy and the insurance sector is considered an important component of it (Ghazal, 2015). The problem is to what extent threats from risks accompanied with E-commerce limit it from the viewpoint of Jordanian insurance companies’ employees. Five (5) insurance companies out of twenty-five (25) are randomly selected for analysis and a questionnaire is conducted according to a psychometric method for data collection. The results show that perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, and perceived risk with products/services are the main effective factors for predicting transaction loss, while delay time is significantly affected by perceived ease of use and perceived risk with product/service. Policymakers can rely on the results of this study to avoid the risks facing online shopping in Jordan and enhancing it. This study contributes to the literature by reducing the dearth of previous research regarding the determinants of threats and risks limiting online shopping and E-commerce in emerging markets.
Carbon and Nitrogen Turnover Times of South Korean Forests Estimated via Data‐Model Fusion

Biogeochemical models use estimates of carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) turnover times for the future projection of global forest C and N stocks, but unexplained variation in the C and N turnover times is causing considerable uncertainty. This study aimed to estimate C and N turnover times of South Korean forests and explain their variation with forest type, temperature, precipitation, stand age, and ecosystem C:N ratio. We used the balance method and data‐model fusion to estimate the C and N turnover times. Data‐model fusion was used to integrate the National Forest Inventory data (2011–2020) with a biogeochemical model, Forest Biomass and Dead organic matter Carbon and Nitrogen (FBD‐CAN). The N turnover time (376–499 years) was ∼45 times longer than the C turnover time (9–10 years). Forest type had no substantial effects on the C and N turnover times. However, the C and N turnover times were positively correlated with stand age and ecosystem C:N ratio, and negatively correlated with temperature. Overall, ecosystem C:N ratio, stand age, temperature, and precipitation explained 45%, 15%, 12%, and 3%, respectively, of the total variation of the C and N turnover times. These results contribute to the understanding and prediction of forest C and N changes in a changing world and highlight the importance of considering C:N ratio for reliable estimation of the C and N turnover times.
Eliminating the “hook” in Precipitation-Temperature Scaling

Observational studies of extreme daily and subdaily precipitation-temperature sensitivities (apparent scaling) aim to provide evidence and improved understanding of how extreme precipitation will respond to a warming climate. However, interpretation of apparent scaling results is hindered by large variations in derived scaling rates and divergence from theoretical and modelled projections of systematic increases in extreme precipitation intensities (climate scaling). In warmer climatic regions, rainfall intensity has been reported to increase with temperature to a maximum before decreasing, creating a second order discontinuity or “hook” like structure. Here we investigate spatial and temporal discrepancies in apparent scaling results by isolating rainfall events and conditioning event precipitation on duration. We find that previously reported negative apparent scaling at higher temperatures which creates the hook structure, is the result of a decrease in the duration of the precipitation event, and not to the decrease in precipitation rate. We introduce standardized pooling using long records of Australian station data across climate zones, to show average precipitation intensities and 1-h peak precipitation intensities increase with temperature across all event durations and locations investigated. For shorter duration events (< 6-h), average precipitation intensity scaling is in line with the expected Clausius- Clapeyron (CC) relation at ~7 %/°C, and this decreases with increasing duration, down to 2 %/°C at 24-h duration. Consistent with climate scaling derived from model projections, 1-h peak precipitation intensities are found to increase with temperature at elevated rates compared to average precipitation intensities, with super-CC scaling (10 – 14 %/°C) found for short-duration events in tropical climates.
QUANTUM YIELD, PHOTOSYNTHETIC PIGMENTS AND BIOMASS OF MINIWATERMELON UNDER IRRIGATION STRATEGIES AND POTASSIUM1

ABSTRACT This study was conducted with the objective of evaluating the quantum yield, photosynthetic pigments and biomass accumulation of mini watermelon cv. Sugar Baby, under strategies of irrigation with saline water and potassium fertilization. The experiment was conducted in a randomized block design, in a 8 × 3 factorial scheme, with three replicates, corresponding to eight strategies of irrigation with saline water applied at different phenological stages of the crop (control - irrigation with low-salinity water throughout the crop cycle, and salt stress in the vegetative, vegetative/flowering, flowering, flowering/fruiting, fruiting, fruiting/ fruit maturation and fruit maturation stage) and three potassium doses (50, 100 and 150% of the recommendation). The dose of 100% corresponded to 150 mg of K2O kg-1 of soil. Two levels of electrical conductivity of water were used: 0.8 and 4.0 dS m-1. Irrigation with water of 4.0 dS m-1 continuously in the vegetative and flowering stages increased the initial fluorescence and decreased the quantum efficiency of photosystem II of mini watermelon fertilized with 100 and 150% of K recommendation. Fertilization with 50% recommendation did not interfere in the fluorescence parameters of the mini watermelon, regardless of the irrigation management strategy. Chlorophyll a synthesis is inhibited by salt stress in the vegetative/flowering, flowering, flowering/fruiting, fruiting/maturation stages, as well as for total chlorophyll, except for the flowering stage. Application of 4.0 dS m-1 water in the flowering, fruiting/maturation and maturation stages promoted greater biomass accumulation in mini watermelon.
Biocontrol Potential of some Entomopathogenic Fungi against The Cotton Leaf Worm Spodoptera littoralis in vitro

The objective of this study was to isolate and identify the entomopathogenic fungi as biocontrol agents and to evaluate their pathogenicity against the cotton leaf worm, Spodoptera littoralis (Boisd.). Six strains of fungi were isolated from healthy and infected plants using dilution plate method. Czapek’s agar supplemented with 0.5 % yeast extract and potato dextrose agar, amended with rose bengal (1/15000) and chloramphenicol (50 ppm) was used for primary isolation. Aspergillus tamarii, Aspergillus parasiticus, pencillium sp. , Trichoderma harzianum,Cladosporium sp . and Rhizopus sp. were isolated . Results showed that A. parasiticus , A. tamarii, T. harzianum and Pencillium sp. are the most promonent so in this study we test their virulence against third instar larvae of the cotton leaf worm the mortality percentage were calculated for each fungus using 1×106, 1×107 and 1×108 spore per ml. It is clear from the results that the mortality percentage increased with elapsing time. The high mortality percentage recorded is 86.66% for A.tamarii at 1×108 spore/ ml then 83.33% with A.parasiticus at 1×107 spore/ml, 80% for T. harizianum at 1×106 spore/ml and 40% at 1×107spore/ml for Pencillium sp. Comparison to these fungi clear that concentration 107 give the highest mortality percentage to the cotton leaf worm for all except A.tamarii . Then screening to the ability of these fungi to produce protease enzyme reveals that all of them produce protease enzyme except Pencillium sp. Gamma irradiation was used to enhance the protease enzyme activity and consequently increase the mortality percentage.
