Enhanced Dehydration Weakening of Antigorite Driven by Slow Shear Heating: Insights From High‐Pressure Experiments With a Modified Apparatus Stiffness

Deformation experiments were conducted to investigate the influence of apparatus stiffness on frictional stability during dehydration of antigorite. These experiments also provided a novel way to constrain relationships between fault slip rate and reaction weakening. Experiments were conducted at a confining pressure of 1 GPa using a Griggs apparatus with a modified loading column. During experiments, the temperature was ramped from 400°C to 700°C over 600 seconds, while deformation was imposed with varying load‐point displacement rates. No stick‐slip behavior was observed during the experiments, despite an order of magnitude lower apparatus stiffness, suggesting there are inherent differences in the frictional stability between low pressure (where stick‐slip is observed during dehydration) and high pressure experiments. Fault slip at high pressure may be stabilized by higher dehydration temperatures and higher shear stresses prior to the onset of dehydration reactions. In comparison to reference experiments conducted with an unmodified stiffness, the weakening rate during dehydration increases by a factor of two. In addition, the time (and therefore imposed temperature) at which the maximum weakening rate is observed decreases linearly with increasing maximum weakening rate. Microstructures in the deformed samples illustrate much greater reaction extents (locally >50%) relative to the reference experiments (<1%), with decreasing reaction extent away from the primary slip surfaces. These observations indicate that the dehydration reaction is enhanced by additional shear dissipation resulting from a tenfold increase in displacement per increment of weakening. The shear‐enhanced reaction mechanism could potentially generate runaway slip in subduction zone settings, leading to intermediate‐depth earthquakes.
Voters of Populist Parties and Support for Reforms of Representative Democracy in Belgium

Recently, studies have burgeoned on the link between populism and demands for democratic reforms. In particular, scholars have been debating the link between populist citizens or voters and support for referendums. In this article, we examine voters of populist parties (Vlaams Belang (VB) and Parti du Travail de Belgique-Partij van de Arbeid (PTB-PVDA)) in Belgium in 2019 and we look at their atti‐ tudes towards various types of democratic reforms. We find that voters of populist parties differ from the non-populist electorate in their support for different kinds of reforms of representative democracy. Voters of VB and PTB-PVDA have in com‐ mon stronger demands for limiting politicians’ prerogatives, for introducing binding referendums and for participatory budgeting. While Vlaams Belang voters are not significantly different from the non-populist electorate on advisory referen‐ dums, citizens’ forums or technocratic reform, PVDA-PTB voters seem more enthu‐ siastic. & The book chapter focuses on differences in the level of support for reforms of representative democracy across voters of Flemish and Francophone parties. This study extends the scope of the book chapter by examining to what extent the electoral bases of populist parties in Belgium are distinct in their attitudes towards reforms of representative democracy.

Edge-Assisted Control for Healthcare Internet of Things

Recent advances in pervasive Internet of Things technologies and edge computing have opened new avenues for development of ubiquitous health monitoring applications. Delivering an acceptable level of usability and accuracy for these healthcare Internet of Things applications requires optimization of both system-driven and data-driven aspects, which are typically done in a disjoint manner. Although decoupled optimization of these processes yields local optima at each level, synergistic coupling of the system and data levels can lead to a holistic solution opening new opportunities for optimization. In this article, we present an edge-assisted resource manager that dynamically controls the fidelity and duration of sensing w.r. t. changes in the patient’s activity and health state, thus fine-tuning the trade-off between energy efficiency and measurement accuracy. The cornerstone of our proposed solution is an intelligent low-latency real-time controller implemented at the edge layer that detects abnormalities in the patient’s condition and accordingly adjusts the sensing parameters of a reconfigurable wireless sensor node. We assess the efficiency of our proposed system via a case study of the photoplethysmography-based medical early warning score system. Our experiments on a real full hardware-software early warning score system reveal up to 49% power savings while maintaining the accuracy of the sensory data.
Stigma in Mental Health: Perceptions and Attitudes ofSaudi People towards Mental Illness

Background: People who have mental suffering may not strive to seek help from mental health professionals due to stigma, simultaneously when the social environment is stressed for mentally ill, because he/she is stigmatized by public, therefore getting relapses is inevitable. Moreover, successful psychological interventions are partly dependent on public beliefs about the etiology and treatment of mental difficulties and tolerance of community integration. Aims and Objectives: This study aims at investigating perceptions and attitudes of Saudi community towards individuals with mental illness, which may help in improving outcomes of mental health services. Materials and Methods: This study examined perceptions and public attitudes towards people with mental illnesses in Saudi Arabia (SA) concerning (a) causes of mental illnesses and the way they are treated and (b) levels of social distance. Responses were collected from a sample of 480 individuals, an on-line questionnaire was distributed through social media’s channels. Participants asked to respond to a questionnaire, which includes: beliefs related to causes and managements of mental illnesses and social distance, in additional to a sheet encompasses, demographical data. Results: In terms of social distance, a majority of participants showed intolerance towards people with mental illnesses in different social situations. A proportion of them thought that mental illnesses can be caused by psychosocial stressors, God’s will and early bad experiences and then they can be treating by using both medications and psychotherapy, social support and religious therapy, less participants believed in merely biological backgrounds of mental illnesses (causes and therapies). Conclusion: These results suggest that Saudi community is intolerant towards people who have mental illnesses and the level of stigma appears to be heightening, both causes and managements of mental illnesses are fallen on psychosocial backgrounds and less to biological explanations and therapies, which might explain negative attitudes they held towards mental illnesses on social distance. Programs targeting tackling stigma are recommended, at the same time, certain programs, aiming at boosting psychological awareness are needed.
Error Management Culture and its impact on organizational performance: A moderated mediation model

Errors are ubiquitous in organizational life and have both positive and negative consequences for organizational performance. Given its importance, we have developed a moderated mediated model to analyze the impact of organizational error management culture on organizational performance by extending error management and share cognition theory. The newly developed model was tested in the service industry of Pakistan. The sample size of the study was 300 employees with a response rate of 96%. The data was collected through a web-based questionnaire. The constructs used in the study were adapted from earlier established scales and measures. Smart PLS was used to test the structural model. Consistent with our hypotheses, the results show that error management culture is positively related to organizational performance and this relationship is mediated by organizational learning from errors and innovative work behavior. The results further demonstrated that perceived psychological safety moderated the direct relationship between organizational learning from errors and error management culture in such a way that relationship is stronger when perceived psychological safety is high. The current study extends the relevant literature and has significant implications for management, theory, and research. For instance, perceived psychological safety in earlier studies has been used as a mediator while we have used it as a moderator. In addition, we tested multi mediation (i.e., organizational learning from errors and innovative work behavior) to empirically validate the relationship of error management culture and organizational performance Corresponding author: Bushra Javed Email addresses for the corresponding author: javedbushra17@yahoo.com First submission received: 15th June 2020 Revised submission received: 28th September 2020 Accepted: 2nd October 2020
Holistic Learning Versus Instrumentalism in Teacher Education: Lessons from Values Pedagogy and Related Research

This article constitutes a literature review, focusing on the idea of holistic learning, as found in key sources, and its essential contrasting with instrumentalist approaches to learning. It will move to explore updated research on holistic learning factors, with special attention to insights gleaned from values pedagogy and the research that underpins it. The article will juxtapose those insights with the instrumentalism that, it will allege, too often dictates teacher education directions. The article will conclude with an argument that teacher education has become, in modern times, a service industry, too often serving the agendas of governments and teacher unions, rather than preparing teachers to follow the guidelines provided by the latest research into student wellbeing and societal betterment. The article will focus especially on a number of Australian examples to mount the argument that nonetheless applies more generally across Western domains.

Investigating beach erosion related with tsunami sediment transport at Phra Thong Island, Thailand, caused by the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami

Abstract. The 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami and the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami caused large-scale topographic changes in coastal areas. Whereas much research has focused on coastlines that have or had large human populations, little focus has been paid to coastlines that have little or no infrastructure. The importance of examining erosional and depositional mechanisms of tsunami events lies in the rapid reorganization that coastlines must undertake immediately after an event. A thorough understanding of the pre-event conditions is paramount to understanding the natural reconstruction of the coastal environment. This study examines the location of sediment erosion and deposition during the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami event on the relatively pristine Phra Thong Island, Thailand. Coupled with satellite imagery, we use numerical simulations and sediment transportation models to determine the locations of significant erosion and the areas where much of that sediment was redeposited during the tsunami inundation and backwash processes. Our modeling approach suggests that beaches located in two regions on Phra Thong Island were significantly eroded by the 2004 tsunami, predominantly during the backwash phase of the first and largest wave to strike the island. Although 2004 tsunami deposits are found on the island, we demonstrate that most of the sediment was deposited in the shallow coastal area, facilitating quick recovery of the beach when normal coastal processes resumed.
Construction of porous carbon for the highly efficient visible light-driven degradation methyl violet

A series of nanoporous carbons (NPC) Fe-C/N-900 and C/N-900 have been synthesized from one-step carbonization of 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-carboxyphenyl)porphyrin-Fe (Fe-TCPP) and TCPP, respectively and employed as photocatalyst for the degradation of organic dye methyl violet (MV) under UV irradiation. The optimized Fe-C/N-900 (carbonized at 900 oC for 2 h) exhibited an optimal performance in MV degradation. The photodegradation capacity of Fe-C/N-900 has been observed to be higher than that of C/N-900. The photodegradation ability of Fe-C/N-900 as a function of initial MV concentration, catalysis dosage, and pH has been also investigated. The Fe-C/N-900 material showed no apparent loss in MV degradation after four cycles. These features reveal that Fe-C/N-900 may be a promising degradant for dyes removal from water.

The genetic structure of CIMMYT and U.S. inbreds and its implications for tropical maize breeding

Assigned to Associate Editor Timothy Beissinger. Abstract The use of temperate maize (Zea mays L.) inbreds with expired Plant Variety Protection in tropical maize breeding programs could enhance the combining ability for grain yield among tropical heterotic groups. We used DNA markers from the DArTseq genotyping-by-sequencing platform to investigate the genetic structure of lines with expired U.S. Plant Variety Protection (ex-PVP) relative to the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center’s (CIMMYT’s) maize heterotic groups. Neighbor-joining cluster analysis revealed two major groups: CIMMYT and ex-PVP. The CIMMYT lines clustered according to their pedigree relationships and adaptation, but not according to their heterotic groups. In contrast, ex-PVP lines clustered according to the Stiff Stalk Synthetic (BSSS) and non-Stiff Stalk Synthetic (NSSS) heterotic groups, except for a few lines that were considered to be mixed. The genetic divergence, estimated as Wright’s fixation index (FST), between BSSS and NSSS (FST = .053, P < .01) was four times as large as the divergence between CIMMYT Tuxpeño and non-Tuxpeño heterotic groups (FST = .013, P = .068). Estimates of genetic divergence marginally favored breeding with BSSS in Tuxpeño and NSSS in non-Tuxpeño. However, CIMMYT breeders may still exploit the ex-PVP heterotic structure fully only by ensuring that the temperate heterotic groups are placed on opposite sides of the Tuxpeño and non-Tuxpeño heterotic pattern. We also showed how estimates of admixture from model-based clustering could be used to avoid ex-PVP lines of mixed heterotic background when selecting lines to maximize the genetic divergence and combining ability of CIMMYT heterotic groups.
A Content Analysis of Identity Expressions from Female Cast Members on the Reality Television Series WAGs (Wives and Girlfriends of Sports Stars): A Case Study

Ayesha Alexander is a Canadian–American chef, cookbook author, television personality, actress, and model. She has held several roles on multiple television shows and movies and began hosting her own show, Ayesha’s Homemade (a.k.a. Ayesha’s Home Kitchen), on the Food Network in 2016. Her career in culinary kicked off in 2014 when she prepared her first meal as a YouTube demonstration on her channel Little Lights of Mine. Alexander’s official channel trailer for Little Lights of Mine was released on February 10, 2014, and received 620,000 views. Within the 55-s clip, Alexander describes herself as being a wife and mom to her daughter Riley. She informs viewers that the channel is about everything that brings light to her life, makes her passionate, happy, and joyful. The second episode of Little Lights of Mine aired on February 19, 2014, NBA All-Star Sunday, and received 2.7 million views. Throughout this episode, Ayesha takes viewers on a journey documenting her family’s entire day while in New Orleans for NBA All-Star weekend. It is during this episode that viewers are first introduced to her husband, NBA superstar, and champion Stephen Curry, guard for the Golden State Warriors. Despite Stephen Curry’s elite NBA champion and superstar status, Ayesha seemingly aspired to form, maintain, and reify an identity distinct from being “so-and-so’s” wife (i.e., “Stephen Curry’s wife”). Ayesha wrote the cookbook titled, The Seasoned Life, and published it in 2016, and has now introduced the Ayesha Curry Kitchenware brand. Ayesha’s branding of herself as an independent businesswoman in her own right, as an identity and image other than that of “Stephen Curry’s wife,” prompts attention to the notion of identity. Indeed, being the significant other to someone in the public eye – to a marquee player – might be perceived as a calling card to one wife, a potential albatross to another, or somewhere in between. How an individual creates, manages, and reifies identity in a performance sphere such as Twitter not only tells a story, but communicates a message to the viewers, listeners, and readers – a message that could undoubtedly impact and influence the consumer’s own identity. Thus, the purpose of the current study is to examine identity presentation and whether it is formed and expressed through the self, status of the sportsmen, or is constructed via mediated Twitter portrayals.
Effects of the Chromium Methionine Supplementation on Performance, Serum Metabolites and Carcass Traits in Broiler Chickens -

We investigated the effects of dietary supplementation with chromium methionine on the performance, serum metabolite profile and carcass traits in broiler chickens. Two hundred and eighty eight male broiler chicks (Ross 308) were allocated to four treatment groups in a completely randomized trial design. Treatment diets were supplemented with 0 (control), 200, 400 or 800 ppb of chromium methionine (CrMet) and administered over a starter (0-21) and finisher (21-42) period. The body weight (BW) improved significantly in broilers receiving the 200 ppb CrMet supplement compared with the control animals over the 0 -42 day experimental period (P 0.05). However, dietary supplementation with CrMet reduced the glucose (GLU) and triacylglycerol (TG) levels, but increased the serum high density lipoprotein (HDL) and phospholipids (PhL) concentration (P<0.05). Supplementation with 800 ppb of CrMet increased the serum albumin (Alb) and total protein (TP) levels (P<0.05), but the 400 ppb CrMet treatment decreased the serum phosphorus (P) and calcium (Ca) content (P<0.05). The abdominal fat (ABF) contended to decrease following treatment with both 400 and 800 ppb CrMet. The 800 ppb CrMet dose increased the carcass yield (CY) (P<0.05). The breast and leg weights of the broilers receiving CrMet also increased (P<0.05), but this supplementation had no effects on the heart, liver or spleen weight as percentage of the live weight.
Effect of Rehydration Temperature on Functional Properties, Antioxidant Capacity and Structural Characteristics of Apple (Granny Smith) Slices in Relation to Mass Transfer Kinetics

Apple slices dried at 60C were rehydrated at 20, 40 and 60C to analyze the influence of processing temperature on quality attributes and rehydration kinetics. Diffusion coefficient increased with process temperature from 1.36 to 2.37 × 10−9 m2/s. The Weibull model obtained the best fit quality for the experimental data based on statistical test, chi square. Color was not recovered during rehydration and the results indicated that the use of low temperatures is more adequate. Water-holding capacity decreased, while rehydration ratio increased with increasing rehydration temperature, indicating structural modifications. Increasing rehydration temperatures led to a reduction in the glass transition temperature and hardness values of samples. The radical-scavenging activity showed higher antioxidant activity at higher rehydration temperatures rather than at lower temperatures. It was found that rehydration temperature modifies the cell structure and antioxidant capacity of final product.
What Drives Youth to Become Entrepreneurs? An Empirical Examination

Purpose: Entrepreneurship can be perceived as a weapon in the fight against unemployment. It is especially true within the segment of young people. The paper seeks to investigate and report on the incentives for and obstacles to entrepreneurial motivation among youth. The focus will be put on capturing the extent of school pupils’ self-estimated chances and capabilities of becoming an entrepreneur. Design/Methodology/Approach: A structured survey questionnaire was used to collect primary data from school pupils aged 12-17. A sample group of over 350 young participants of university-run entrepreneurship programs was selected. The data gathered in the research were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Findings: Our findings suggest that entrepreneurial motivation is the resultant of numerous factors such as one’s individual characteristics and intuitive capacity, as well as various environmental variables. Of the last ones, formal entrepreneurship education is crucial. Practical Implications: Efforts to encourage people to become entrepreneurs could start as early as childhood or adolescence. University programs and courses for youth are a perfect forum for shaping entrepreneurial skills. Therefore, such initiatives should be supported by government funding schemes and heavily promoted. Originality/Value: To the author’s best knowledge, the present study is the first empirical research into incentives and challenges that build perceptions and attitudes towards entrepreneurship among youth aged 12-17 in Poland.
Saddle-point optimality criteria involving (p, b, d)-invexity and (p, b, d)-pseudoinvexity in interval-valued optimisation problems

ABSTRACT In this paper, under new generalised convexity assumptions, we investigate some connections between an LU-optimal solution of a variational control problem governed by interval-valued multiple integral functional and a saddle-point associated with an LU-Lagrange functional corresponding to a modified interval-valued variational control problem. Also, in order to illustrate the main results and their effectiveness, we present an application that optimises the mass of a flat plate with interval-valued density that depends on the current point.
