Preliminary Computational Analysis of the (HIRENASD) Configuration in Preparation for the Aeroelastic Prediction Workshop

This paper presents preliminary computational aeroelastic analysis results generated in preparation for the first Aeroelastic Prediction Workshop (AePW). These results were produced using FUN3D software developed at NASA Langley and are compared against the experimental data generated during the HIgh REynolds Number Aero- Structural Dynamics (HIRENASD) Project. The HIRENASD wind-tunnel model was tested in the European Transonic Windtunnel in 2006 by Aachen University0s Department of Mechanics with funding from the German Research Foundation. The computational effort discussed here was performed (1) to obtain a preliminary assessment of the ability of the FUN3D code to accurately compute physical quantities experimentally measured on the HIRENASD model and (2) to translate the lessons learned from the FUN3D analysis of HIRENASD into a set of initial guidelines for the first AePW, which includes test cases for the HIRENASD model and its experimental data set. This paper compares the computational and experimental results obtained at Mach 0.8 for a Reynolds number of 7 million based on chord, corresponding to the HIRENASD test conditions No. 132 and No. 159. Aerodynamic loads and static aeroelastic displacements are compared at two levels of the grid resolution. Harmonic perturbation numerical results are compared with the experimental data using the magnitude and phase relationship between pressure coefficients and displacement. A dynamic aeroelastic numerical calculation is presented at one wind-tunnel condition in the form of the time history of the generalized displacements. Additional FUN3D validation results are also presented for the AGARD 445.6 wing data set. This wing was tested in the Transonic Dynamics Tunnel and is commonly used in the preliminary benchmarking of computational aeroelastic software.
Consumer Ethnocentrism and Social Identity: Theoretical Backgrounds and Empirical Studies Overview

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to provide insight into the interplay between consumer ethnocentrism and social identity as concepts with significant relevance for different consumer responses in globalized environment. Design/Methodology/Approach – The paper contains analysis of theoretical foundations, based on social identity theory, as well as conceptual content analysis of selected studies that deal with both the observed concepts. Findings and implications – This paper contributes to deeper insights into the interplay between consumer ethnocentrism and identity, and provides a good foundation for explaining and predicting different consumers’ responses in the globalized environment. From the perspective of social identity theory, ethnocentrism is considered to be an important factor in maintaining social identity and preserving it in the changing environment. This proposition is confirmed by empirical studies that show a positive relation between identity and consumer ethnocentrism. On the other hand, some empirical studies reveal somewhat mixed results which indicate that consumer ethnocentrism does not always correspond with the strength of identity. Also, studies that deal with consumer ethnocentrism and identity in Marija Čutura University of Mostar, Faculty of Economics, Matice hrvatske, bb, 8800 Mostar, BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA, e-mail: marija.cutura@ef.sum. ba Market-Tržište Vol. 32, Special Issue, 2020, pp. 131-146 UDK 658.89:658.62 DOI http://dx.doi. org/10.22598/mt/2020.32. spec-issue.131 Review CONSUMER ETHNOCENTRISM AND SOCIAL IDENTITY: THEORETICAL BACKGROUNDS AND EMPIRICAL STUDIES OVERVIEW POTROŠAČKI ETNOCENTRIZAM I SOCIJALNI IDENTITET: TEORIJSKA POZADINA I PRIKAZ EMPIRIJSKIH STUDIJA
Potential megathrust earthquakes and tsunamis off the southern coast of West Java, Indonesia

High seismicity rates in and around West Java occur as a result of the Indo-Australian plate converging with and subducting beneath the Sunda plate. Large megathrust events associated with this process likely pose a major earthquake and tsunami hazard to the surrounding community, but further effort is required to help understand both the likelihood and frequency of such events. With this in mind, we exploit catalog and phase data sourced from the Agency for Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics (BMKG) of Indonesia and the International Seismological Centre (ISC) for the period of April 2009 through July 2020, in order to conduct earthquake hypocenter relocation using a teleseismic double-difference method. Our results reveal a seismic gap to the south of West Java, which is in agreement with a previous GPS study that finds the same region to be a potential future source of megathrust earthquakes. Tsunami modeling was conducted in the region based on two scenarios using sources from the Indonesian National Center for Earthquake Studies, and show that the maximum tsunami height may be up to ~ 8 m. This estimate is approximately half the maximum tsunami height predicted by a previous study in which earthquake sources were derived from GPS data inversion.
Debt Relief or Debt Restructuring? Evidence from an Experiment with Distressed Credit Card Borrowers

This paper reports results from a randomized field experiment that offered distressed credit card borrowers more than $50 million in debt forgiveness and over 27,500 additional months to repay their debts. The experimental variation effectively randomized debt write-downs and minimum payments for borrowers at eleven large credit card issuers. Merging information from the experiment to administrative tax and bankruptcy records, we find that the debt write-downs increased debt repayment and decreased bankruptcy ling. The debt write-downs also increased formal sector employment for the most financially distressed borrowers. In contrast, we find little impact of the lower minimum payments on debt repayment, bankruptcy, or employment. We show that this null result can be explained by the positive short-run effect of increased liquidity being o set by the unintended, negative effect of exposing borrowers to more default risk. We conclude that debt relief is more effective than debt restructuring for distressed credit card borrowers, even when these borrowers are liquidity constrained.
Is the Social Responsibility Information Disclosed by the Companies really Valuable?—Evidence from Chinese Stock Price Synchronicity

Social responsibility information disclosed by listed companies is an important way to transfer non-financial information to the stock market, which affects the level of stock price synchronicity. In order to explore whether Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) information is valuable in improving capital market pricing efficiency, this paper conducted empirical research based on a sample of China Shanghai and Shenzhen A-share listed companies in years 2010–2015. The results showed that: (1) Overall, there is a significant positive correlation between CSR information and stock price synchronicity; (2) under different disclosure motives, there is no significant difference in the impact of CSR on stock price synchronicity; (3) Securities analysts and institutional investors can negatively regulate the positive relationship between CSR and stock price synchronicity, while the media will intensify the positive effect of CSR on stock price synchronicity. This research is of great significance in promoting the fulfillment of CSR and improving capital market pricing efficiency.
Title Effectiveness of a novel long lasting pyriproxyfen larvicide ( SumiLarv ® 2 MR ) against Aedes mosquitoes in schools in Yangon

Background: Mosquito-borne diseases are prevalent in Myanmar, with the number of dengue cases showing a significant increase in recent years. Dengue vectors have developed resistance to insecticides and currently used larvicides show only short-term effectiveness. As a result, an alternative larvicide is urgently needed. The present study evaluated the larvicidal effectiveness of long-lasting pyriproxyfen resin discs (SumiLarv®2MR) against dengue virus vectors in schools in Hlaing Thar Yar Township, Yangon. Results: The proportion of Aedes mosquito-infested containers was significantly reduced in the schools applied with the larvicide (OR: 0.24, 95% CI: 0.12–0.48) while there was little reduction noted in the control schools (OR: 0. 97, 95% CI: 0.55–1.72). The density of infested containers was also significantly reduced in the intervention schools (Beta: -1.50, 95% CI: -1.98– -1.04), but there was no significant reduction in density in the control schools (Beta: -0. 19, 95% CI: -0.53–0.14). The proportion of adult emergence was less than 20% in the treated water collected from the intervention schools for six months, while the proportion was over 90% in the untreated water. In addition, eight-month-old SumiLarv®2MR resin discs were still 100% effective when tested in the laboratory. More than 50% of the discs disappeared from treated containers within two months of intervention. Conclusions: SumiLarv®2MR was effective in reducing Aedes-infested containers at least six months after its application in schools. This new pyriproxyfen formulation has great potential for improving the current dengue vector control program in Myanmar.
Using growth histories to estimate larval fish mortality rates

A simple stochastic model is presented to show the potential influence of variable growth rates on survival within a cohort of larval fish. The results show that mortality will decrease as the mean and variance in growth rates increase. Changes in the distribution of growth histories (i.e. mean and variance), estimated by contrasting the past growth rates of survivors, taken at time t , , with samples of the population taken at an earlier time, t0, can be used to estimate the mortality rates of the population. Application of the model requires individual growth histories as input. This provides an alternative to estimating mortality rates by extensive field surveys of abundance.
Influence of social media use on micro-level social capital among students of University of Ibadan

Scholars have argued on the possibility of social media use to increase and/or decrease social capital—a term that refers to benefits derived from social relationships and interactions at the individual level only, especially among university students. Therefore, this study examined the association between social media use and three subtypes (bonding, bridging, and maintained) of social capital among students of the University of Ibadan (UI), who have access to and belong to at least a social networking sites (focusing on Facebook and Twitter). Uses and Gratification Theory was adopted as the theoretical framework. The study deployed both quantitative and qualitative approaches by adopting a survey and Focus Group Discussion methods. The questionnaire and FGD guide were the instruments of data collection. Two hundred and seventy (270) constituted the sample size—two hundred and forty-three (243) participated in the survey, while 27 participants joined in the FGD sessions. The research adopted stratified, simple random, and purposive sampling techniques. Findings revealed a strong positive connection between the use of social media and bridging and bonding social capital but with lesser influence on bonding social capital as connections with close friends is less sensitive to the amount of communication when compared to bridging social capital. However, no connection among social media use and maintained social capital. Certain activities like directed communication and consumption on these platforms contribute to micro-level social capital. It is recommended that young adults should maximise the potentials of these social media platforms to accrue social benefits from their interactions with friends and families online.

EU legislation on nutrition and health claims made on foods (Regulation (EC) No. 1924/2006) specifies that health claims should be only authorised for use in the Community after a scientific assessment of the highest possible standard is carried out by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA). This paper focuses on the scientific substantiation of health claims within the context of the EU Regulation. The evaluation of the substantiation of health claims is carried out by the EFSA Scientific Panel on Dietetic Products, Nutrition and Allergies (NDA). The EFSA has published extensive guidance to assist applicants in the preparation of applications for authorisations of health claims. This guidance summarises the general principles applied by the NDA Panel in the evaluation of health claims, including the scientific criteria for substantiation, as well as the scientific requirements for the substantiation of specific health claims. To date, the EFSA NDA Panel has concluded that a wide range of health claims has been substantiated. These include claims for many well-established functions of nutrients, as well as beneficial effects of foods and food constituents on a range of body functions. In addition, claims have been substantiated on the role of nutrients in growth and development of children and on the effects of nutrients and food constituents on reduction of risk factors for disease. EFSA evaluations and guidance have made an important contribution to the understanding of the scientific substantiation of health claims which will help to set new directions for research and will guide future innovation.
Many Clicks but Little Sticks: Social Media Activism in Indonesia

Drawing on empirical cases from Indonesia, this article offers a critical approach to the promise of social media activism by analysing the complexity and dynamics of the relationship between social media and its users. Rather than viewing social media activism as the harbinger of social change or dismissing it as mere “slacktivism,” the article provides a more nuanced argument by identifying the conditions under which participation in social media might lead to successful political activism. In social media, networks are vast, content is overly abundant, attention spans are short, and conversations are parsed into diminutive sentences. For social media activism to be translated into populist political activism, it needs to embrace the principles of the contemporary culture of consumption: light package, headline appetite and trailer vision. Social media activism is more likely to successfully mobilise mass support when its narratives are simple, associated with low risk actions and congruent with dominant meta-narratives, such as nationalism and religiosity. Success is less likely when the narrative is contested by dominant competing narratives generated in mainstream media.
Galactic Archaeology with asteroseismic ages: Evidence for delayed gas infall in the formation of the Milky Way disc

Context. Precise stellar ages from asteroseismology have become available and can help to set stronger constraints on the evolution of the Galactic disc components. Recently, asteroseismology has confirmed a clear age difference in the solar annulus between two distinct sequences in the [α/Fe] versus [Fe/H] abundance ratios relation: the high-α and low-α stellar populations. Aims. We aim to reproduce these new data with chemical evolution models including different assumptions for the history and number of accretion events. Methods. We tested two different approaches: a revised version of the “two-infall” model where the high-α phase forms by a fast gas accretion episode and the low-α sequence follows later from a slower gas infall rate, and the parallel formation scenario where the two disc sequences form coevally and independently. Results. The revised two-infall model including uncertainties in age and metallicity is capable of reproducing: i) the [α/Fe] versus [Fe/H] abundance relation at different Galactic epochs, ii) the age−metallicity relation and the time evolution [α/Fe]; iii) the age distribution of the high-α and low-α stellar populations, iv) the metallicity distribution function. The parallel approach is not capable of properly reproducing the stellar age distribution, in particular at old ages. Conclusions. The best chemical evolution model is the revised two-infall one, where a consistent delay of ∼4.3 Gyr in the beginning of the second gas accretion episode is a crucial assumption to reproduce stellar abundances and ages.
A generalization to multifunctions of Fan’s best approximation theorem

We prove a theorem for set valued mappings in an approximatively compact, convex subset of a locally convex space, and then derive results due to Ky Fan and S. Reich as corollaries. Let E be a locally convex Hausdorff topological vector sapce, S a nonempty subset of E and p a continuous seminorm on E. It is a well-known result (see the proof in Sehgal [8] or Ky Fan [1]) that if S is compact and convex and f: S -* E is a continuous map, then there exists an x E S satisfying (1) p(fx x) = dp(f x, S) = min{p(fx, -y)I y E S} Since then a number of authors have provided either an extension of the above theorem to set valued mappings or have weakened the compactness condition therein. Some of these results are (a) REICH (1978). If S is approximatively compact and f: S -E is continuous with f(S) relatively compact, then (1) holds [5]. (b) LIN (1979). If S is a closed unit ball of a Banach space X and f: S -* X is a continuous condensing map, then (1) holds when p is the norm on X [4]. (c) WATERS (1984). If S is a closed and convex subset of a uniformly convex Banach space E and f: S -* 2E is a continuous multifunction with convex and compact values and f(S) is relatively compact, then (1) holds [9]. (d) SEHGAL AND SINGH (1985). Let S C E with int(S) :$ 0 and cl(S) convex and let f: S -* 2E be a continuous condensing multifunction with convex, compact values and with a bounded range. Then for each w E int(S), there exists a continuous seminorm p = p(w) satisfying (1) [6]. Our aim in this presentation is to prove (a) for multifunctions and derive some results as easy corollaries. For definitions and terminologies we refer to Reich [5] (see also [3]). DEFINITION. A subset S of E is approximatively p-compact iff for each y E E and a net {x,<} in S satisfying p(x,,, y) -* dp(y, S) there is a subnet {x16} and an x E S such that xo -* x. Clearly a compact set in E is approximatively compact. The converse, however, may fail. For example, the closed unit ball of an infinite dimensional uniformly convex Banach space is approximatively norm compact but not compact.

CRACK INITIATION IN RETRIEVED CROSS-LINKED UHMWPE ACETABULAR LINERS: An Investigation of Nine Cases

Nine cross-linked UHMWPE acetabular liners were retrieved at revision surgery. Eight of the liners were fully intact and functional at retrieval. Six cases contained shallow initiated cracks at the root of rim notches; one crack had propagated several millimeters. Optical and electron microscopic inspection of the crack surfaces revealed clam shell markings, which are characteristic of fatigue crack initiation. Crack initiation at notches has been identified in reports of catastrophic cross-linked liner failures, with cracks initiation sites exhibiting similar morphology and clam shell markings. Thus, we believe the shallow cracks identified in this case series are precursors to catastrophic rim fracture. The results of this study recommend further investigations to clarify the etiology and prevalence of crack initiation in cross-linked acetabular liners.
Environmental Risk and Audit Fees : Evidence from Monitoring of PM 2 . 5

Previous studies have found many factors that affect audit fees, such as company size, business complexity, internal control quality, firm characteristics and so on. Under the background of increasingly severe environmental problems, environmental risks will inevitably affect the business conditions of the company and thus affect the auditor’s judgment of risks. However, we know little about whether and how environmental risks affect audit fees. In this paper, we use the monitoring after the PM2.5 explosion as an exogenous event, and the propensity matching score method and the difference-in-difference model are used to study the relationship between environmental risk and audit fees. The empirical results show that, first, after the monitoring of PM2.5 began in 2012, those listed companies located in cities that take the lead in monitoring PM2.5 would be charged higher audit fees. Second, this relationship exists only in heavily polluting enterprises with low internal control quality.
Investigation of Relationships between DNA Integrity and Fresh Semen Parameters in Rams [ 1 ]

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the correlation between the routine semen analyses and sperm DNA integrity, as assesed by TUNEL in fresh semen of rams in Kivircik and Awassi breeds in breeding season. Semen was collected by electro-ejaculation five times every other day. For that purpose, 50 fresh ejaculates from 6 Kivircik and 4 Awassi rams were evaluated. The mean percentages of semen volume, concentration, mass activity, motility, acrosomal defects, HOST and DNA fragmentation of Kivircik and Awassi rams were 1.3 ml, 1.9 x109, 3.3 (0-5 scale), 72.6%, 13.2%, 73.6%, 16.2% and 1.0 ml, 1.9 x109, 3.3 (0-5 scale), 72.5%, 11.1%, 77.9%, 15.9%; respectively (P>0.05). Sperm DNA fragmentation was correlated adversely with semen volume (r = -0.329, P<0.05), concentration (r = -0.188, P>0.05), mass activity (r = -0.349, P<0.05), motility (r = -0.448, P<0.01), acrosomal defects (r = -0.103, P>0.05) and HOS test (r = -0.513, P<0.01). This study provided clear evidence that most of the parameters evaluated herein related to DNA fragmentation at one point or the other. Hence, DNA structure evaluation of sperm might be a useful tool for accurate prediction of the male fertility in individual rams.
Social Spending, Inequality and Growth in Times of Austerity: Insights from Portugal

This paper discusses the possibility that the austerity measures implemented in Portugal, that translate into a reduction of the respective welfare state, can not only hamper short term economic recovery but also compromise long-run macroeconomic performance, based on their impact on income inequality. We estimate a near-VAR model with social spending, inequality and output and perform impulse response analysis over the period 1980-2013 to investigate whether the recent expansion of the Portuguese welfare state constituted an obstacle or an opportunity for this country’s macroeconomic performance. Our results point to social spending as an expansionary fiscal policy instrument that can alleviate the downturn in output in the short-term. The long-term role of social spending is less clear due to its ambiguous effect on overall income inequality. We conclude that more important than the insufficient increase in social benefits due to fiscal consolidation efforts seems to be the need to carefully target social support so that there is no equity-efficiency trade-off.
