Marine Research in Indonesia

The physical and hydrodynamic conditions in the Banda and Northern Arafura Seas (BAS) during northwest monsoon (February 2014) were investigated using a three-dimensional baroclinic nonlinear numerical model—the Hamburg Shelf Ocean Model (HAMSOM). This study found that northwesterly winds induced eastward surface currents that transported relatively fresh water from the Flores Sea to the Arafura Sea via the Banda Sea. It was also found that the westerly surface currents carried relatively cold water induced by upwelling along the northern coast of the Lesser Sunda Islands. Furthermore, the simulation results revealed that relatively saline surface water from the Indian Ocean intruding through the Ombai Strait and Timor Passage contributed to the surface water of the Eastern Banda Sea and Aru Basin being more saline than the surrounding water. Part of the surface water sank as a result of downwelling in the Arafura Sea. The BAS had higher salinity than the Makassar Strait at a depth of 75–300m. The simulation results suggested that the higher salinity was due to the influence of the South Pacific Subtropical Water (SPSW) that entered the Indonesian Seas primarily through the Halmahera Sea.
Distributed cooperative adaptive state estimation and system identification for multi‐agent systems

In this study, the authors address the problem of composite cooperative state estimation and system identification for linear multi-agent systems (MASs) under the leader-follower framework. This problem specifies an objective for each follower agent to estimate its local plant state and identify its plant dynamics simultaneously through interacting and communicating with its neighbours. A novel distributed adaptive estimation and identification protocol is proposed, which possesses five important properties to improve existing cooperative approaches: (i) it deals with general linear MASs with a completely unknown agent dynamics, allowing dynamics heterogeneity between the leader and the followers; (ii) it enables simultaneous exact state estimation and accurate system identification of MASs with guaranteed exponential convergence performance; (iii) it utilises only relative measurements from neighbouring agents, but without requiring any knowledge of absolute local plant states/outputs; (iv) it is fully distributed in the sense that its design and implementation do not involve any global information, including the overall network connectivity and the leader's dynamics; (v) exact system identification can be achieved under a cooperative persistent excitation (PE) condition, which significantly relaxes the classical PE condition. Simulation studies have been conducted to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
MRI predicts intracranial hemorrhage in patients who receive long-term oral anticoagulation.

OBJECTIVE We tested the hypothesis that the risk of intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) in patients with cardioembolic ischemic stroke who are treated with oral anticoagulants (OAs) can be predicted by evaluating surrogate markers of hemorrhagic-prone cerebral angiopathies using a baseline MRI. METHODS Patients were participants in a multicenter and prospective observational study. They were older than 64 years, had a recent cardioembolic ischemic stroke, and were new users of OAs. They underwent a baseline MRI analysis to evaluate microbleeds, white matter hyperintensities, and cortical superficial siderosis. We collected demographic variables, clinical characteristics, risk scores, and therapeutic data. The primary endpoint was ICH that occurred during follow-up. We performed bivariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses. RESULTS We recruited 937 patients (aged 77.6 ± 6.5 years; 47.9% were men). Microbleeds were detected in 207 patients (22.5%), moderate/severe white matter hyperintensities in 419 (45.1%), and superficial siderosis in 28 patients (3%). After a mean follow-up of 23.1 ± 6.8 months, 18 patients (1.9%) experienced an ICH. In multivariable analysis, microbleeds (hazard ratio 2.7, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.1-7, p = 0.034) and moderate/severe white matter hyperintensities (hazard ratio 5.7, 95% CI 1.6-20, p = 0.006) were associated with ICH (C index 0.76, 95% CI 0.66-0.85). Rate of ICH was highest in patients with both microbleed and moderate/severe WMH (3.76 per 100 patient-years, 95% CI 1.62-7.4). CONCLUSION Patients taking OAs who have advanced cerebral small vessel disease, evidenced by microbleeds and moderate to severe white matter hyperintensities, had an increased risk of ICH. Our results should help to determine the risk of prescribing OA for a patient with cardioembolic stroke. CLINICALTRIALSGOV IDENTIFIER NCT02238470.
University of Birmingham Crossmodal spatial distraction across the lifespan

The ability to resist distracting stimuli whilst voluntarily focusing on a task is fundamental to our everyday cognitive functioning. Here, we investigated how this ability develops, and thereafter declines, across the lifespan using a single task/experiment. Young children (5-7 years), older children (10-11 years), young adults (20-27 years), and older adults (62-86 years) were presented with complex visual scenes. Endogenous (voluntary) attention was engaged by having the participants search for a visual target presented on either the left or right side of the display. The onset of the visual scenes was preceded – at stimulus onset asynchronies (SOAs) of 50, 200, or 500 ms – by a task-irrelevant sound (an exogenous crossmodal spatial distractor) delivered either on the same or opposite side as the visual target, or simultaneously on both sides (cued, uncued, or neutral trials, respectively). Age-related differences were revealed, especially in the extreme age-groups, which showed a greater impact of crossmodal spatial distractors. Young children were highly susceptible to exogenous spatial distraction at the shortest SOA (50 ms), whereas older adults were distracted at all SOAs, showing significant exogenous capture effects during the visual search task. By contrast, older children and young adults’ search performance was not significantly affected by crossmodal spatial distraction. Overall, these findings present a detailed picture of the developmental trajectory of endogenous resistance to crossmodal spatial distraction from childhood to old age and demonstrate a different efficiency in coping with distraction across the four age-groups studied.
Evaluation of Platelet Rich Plasma in the Management of Psoriasis

Psoriasis is a chronic immune-mediated disease affecting approximately 2–3% of general population. It is associated with significant negative impact on patient’s physical and psychological quality of life along with vulnerability to co-morbidities such as cardiometabolic dysfunction, depression, and so on [1]. to evaluate the efficiency of platelet rich plasma (PRP) in the management of patients with chronic localized recalcitrant plaque psoriasis.This was a prospective pilot study conducted on 30 cases with chronic localized recalcitrant psoriasis attended Dermatology, Venereology and Andrology outpatient clinics, Benha University Hospitalis. This study was approved by Dermatology, Venereology and Andrology Department and Ethics Commitee in the Faculty of Medicine, Benha University. The study details were discussed with all patients and informed consents were obtained from them before the begining of the study.PASI score had significantly decreased in group I after 8 and 16 weeks of treatment when compared to the baseline (p =0.001). There was also significant decrease in PASI score between week 8, 16 (p =0.0018). PASI score showed no significant difference in group II neither at week 8 nor 16 compared to baseline (p =0.894)
The Central Bank of the Republic of Turkey

We examine the speed and rate of adjustment of lending rates to monetary policy rate for corporate, housing, cash and automobile loans using bank-level micro data. We show that empirical results on unit root, co-integration tests and the estimation of co-integrating vector improve when we allow cross-sectional dependence. We find evidence in favor of central bank control over credit market via short-term interest rates, which is more apparent in the post-credit boom period. Estimation results reveal that while corporate loans are not sensitive to changes in the policy rate, cash and automobile loan rates are responsive to the policy rate. Housing loans, on the other hand, display excessive sensitivity to the policy rate. ∗ I am grateful to the Banking and Financial Institutions Department for providing data, especially Çiğdem Koğar for assistance.

The Journal of Values-Based Leadership The Journal of Values-Based Leadership

This manuscript advances prior research (Blau, 1964; Elangovan & Xie, 1999; French & Raven, 1959; Goodstadt & Hjelle, 1973; Hegtvedt, 1988; Randolph & Kemery, 2011; Zigarmi, Peyton Roberts, & Randolph, 2015) and capitalizes on supervisory skills using power dynamics within the workplace, by investigating employee effort resulting from gender dissimilar supervisor-employee dyads and employee locus of control. To offer a more focused approach, this is an evaluation specifically on reward and coercive power derived from French and Raven’s (1959) five power bases. This manuscript proposes that the motivation levels of employees change, based on their locus of control and gender. There were 155 full-time professionals surveyed, this study concluded a positive relationship between the use of reward power and employee effort. Notably, the supplemental analysis indicated a positive relationship between female supervisors who exhibited coercive power and greater employee effort.
A comparison of different

Among the cloud properties, cloud optical depth is particularly useful to describe the cloud, and can be determined from surface measurements of the total atmospheric transmittance in some shortwave bands. Here we use a very simple two-stream treatment of the radiative transfer to show how cloud optical depth determinations could be affected by various aerosol properties. Results show how, in connection with the fact that cloud drops and aerosol particles have different optical properties, the aerosol optical depth has an effect considerably higher than it could be expected. Likewise, the effect of the aerosol properties and the ground albedo on the cloud optical depth determination is addressed. The results are compared with simulations performed with a more rigorous (but still one-dimensional) radiative transfer code. It is found that the two-stream method considered can roughly reproduce the results obtained using more rigorous treatments. The general conclusion is that aerosol optical properties have a remarkable effect and thus they must be taken into account when retrieving cloud optical properties.
INFLUENCE OF GEOGRAPHICAL FACTORS AND IINFRASTRUCTURE ON POVERTY IN THE BODEBEK REGION IN WEST JAVA PROVINCE

This study intends to examine the influence of geographical and infrastructure factors on poverty in the Bogor, Depok and Bekasi (Bodebek) areas in West Java Province. To achieve the objectives of the penelitian, a regression method is used using the poverty variable as the dependent variable. While the dependent variables are divided into 4 (four) groups, which are divided into groups of variables of geography, infrastructure, population economy, and macroeconomic variables. The data used in this study came from the raw data of the Village Potential Data Collection (Podes) of West Java Province released by the Central Statistics Agency. The data period used is Podes data in 2011, 2014 and 2018. The scope of the study was at the village / kelurahan level with a household-level analysis unit. The observations cover 5 buffer areas of the State Capital in West Java Province, including Bekasi Regency, Bekasi City, Bogor Regency, Bogor City and Depok City. The total samples used from the six regions were 802 villages and sub-districts. The data analysis technique used is a panel data regression technique or model. The processing of research data was carried out using stata 13 software. The study concluded that factors of geography, infrastructure, economic conditions of the population as well as macroeconomic variables influenced or at least related to poverty in the areas of Bogor Regency, Bogor City, Depok City, Bekasi Regency and Bekasi City (Bodebek). The influence of each variable is different in each district and city in the Bodebek region
AGE ISN’T BUT A NUMBER: TRAINING A MULTI-GENERATIONAL TOURISM WORKFORCE *

The tourism industry's labor force is made up of multiple generations including Baby Boomers, Generation Xers, Generation Yers or Millennials, and Generation Zers. Individuals belonging to different generations do differ in values, cognitions, and behavior, potentially impacting workplace dynamics including preferred methods of training and development. For example, Generation Yers, born between 1981 and 1999 were raised in high tech, neo-optimistic era and are technologically adept; however, Baby Boomers tend to resist change and are not technologically savvy. This paper goes through the traits of various generations that make up the tourism workforce and effective training and development strategies for these generations. The benefits and outcomes of effective training strategies are also discussed.
Nonlinear Taxation , Tax Arbitrage and Equilibrium Asset Prices

This paper investigates the equilibrium implications of the presence of nonlinearly taxed, redundant securities, and of the resulting tax arbitrage opportunities. Heterogeneity in taxation leads to discrepancies in assets' pre-tax market prices of risk. We show that this mispricing is set so that agents e®ectively cooperate to minimize aggregate taxes, even though individually each agent may not minimize his own tax bill. Unlike the bulk of the existing tax arbitrage literature, but consistent with empirical evidence, equilibrium in our model allows discrepancy between agents' marginal tax rates. Equilibrium with a zero net supply derivative reveals ̄nancial innovation to alleviate taxation, in particular when the derivative is taxed linearly or is taxed less heterogeneously across agents than is the stock itself. In the presence of two redundant, positive supply securities, clientele e®ects arise, where one agent holds the aggregate supply of each risky security, and only the bond is traded across agents. Clientele e®ects are shown to arise when agents' tax rates are highly heterogeneous and when the aggregate wealth is divided fairly evenly across agents.
The Rodney L. White Center for Financial Research Credibility of Management Forecasts

We examine how the market’s ability to assess the truthfulness of management earnings forecasts affects the extent to which managers bias their forecasts, and we evaluate whether the market’s response to management forecasts is consistent with it identifying the predictable bias in forecasts. We find that managers more likely to face litigation release less optimistic forecasts than managers less likely to face litigation, and this incentive is dampened when it is more difficult to detect whether managers have misrepresented their forward-looking information. Further, when it is more difficult to detect forecast bias, we find that managers are more likely to offer forecasts that increase their profits from insider transactions and managers of financially distressed firms are more optimistic than those of healthy firms. With regard to the stock price response to forecasts, we find the market’s immediate response varies with the predictable bias in good but not bad news forecasts. The market’s subsequent response, however, is consistent with investors eventually identifying the bias in bad news forecasts and modifying their valuation of the firm in the appropriate direction. ∗We thank Brian Bushee, Phil Berger, John Core, Gus De Franco, Amy Hutton, Chris Ittner, Dave Larcker, Christian Leuz, David Mest, Shiva Sivaramakrishnan, Ireme Tuna, Ro Verrecchia and workshop participants at the University of Houston, University of Pennsylvania, 2002 American Accounting Association Annual Meetings, and the 2003 European Accounting Association Meetings for helpful comments.

Pt-Os isotopic constraints on the age of hydrothermal overprinting on the Jinchuan Ni-Cu-(PGE) 1

31 Platinum Group Elements (PGE) mineralization occurs associated with mafic-ultramafic rocks in 32 different environments. Although the PGE enrichment is primarily caused by magmatic processes, 33 remobilization of Pd and Pt by hydrothermal fluids has likely been an important mechanism in 34 increasing the precious metal grade in many cases. However, the timing of PGE enrichment by 35 hydrothermal fluid processes is commonly difficult to constrain. 36 The Jinchuan ultramafic intrusion in northwest China is ranked the world’s third largest magmatic 37 Ni-Cu sulfide deposit. Besides the main ore body consisting of net-textured and disseminated sulfides, 38 there is hydrothermal mineralization associated with sheared contact zones of the intrusion, which 39 shows elevated Cu and Pt concentrations. The unusually high Pt is hosted mainly in sperrylite within 40 altered silicates. In this study, we applied the Pt-Os geochronometer to a Cu-Pt-rich ore body, yielding 41 an isochron age of 436 ± 22 Ma. This age is significantly younger than the main ore formation age of 42 ca. 825 Ma, but similar to that of the continental collision event between the Qaidam-Qilian Block and 43 Alax Block of North China. This indicates that the intrusion may have been uplifted during the 44 Paleozoic orogenic processes from deeper crust, resulting in the generation of the Cu-Pt-rich 45 hydrothermal ore body. Our new data provide the first strong age constraints on the hydrothermal PGE 46 enrichment, showing that the Pt-Os isotope system is potentially a powerful tool for dating 47 hydrothermal overprinting on Ni-Cu-(PGE) sulfide deposits. 48
ARENA Centre for European Studies Regulatory Agencies and Networks in Europe

The emergence of regulatory agencies is widely considered as the institutional hallmark of the regulatory state and has attracted considerable academic attention. More-over, research shows that national regulatory agencies are increasingly integrated into transnational regulatory networks. This paper argues that research on regulatory agencies and networks is based on an implicit assumption that regulatory agencies are a distinct ‘species’ of organisations that can be studied without considering other types of agencies. A key insight is that comparative perspectives including regulatory and executive agencies are important to put regulatory scholarship into context and to flesh out the contribution of regulatory scholarship to advance general knowledge on public administration. The paper illustrates such comparative perspectives by reviewing literature on the formal and actual autonomy of agencies, the effect of transnational networks on national agencies, and multilevel coordination in administrative networks.
"I Slept Like a Baby": Using Human Traits To Characterize Deceptive ChatGPT and Human Text

Liars and truth-tellers often communicate differently. When tasked with writing deceptive text, humans use prior knowledge and experiences to intentionally deceive their target. Automatically generated text via large language models; LLMs, on the other hand, mirror training instances that are most likely written by humans. In the case of content like reviews, automatically generated language is inherently deceptive because the system is not grounded in material world experiences. In this paper, we characterize differences between (a) truthful text written by humans, (b) intentionally deceptive text written by humans, and (c) inherently deceptive text written by state-of-the-art language models (ChatGPT). We examined the expression of thirteen psychologically grounded and fundamental human traits (e.g., personality and empathy) across truthful and deceptive hotel reviews, finding that texts written by humans were more diverse (had more variation) in their expressions of personality than texts written by ChatGPT. Across all human traits we found that truthful and deceptive human language was easier to distinguish from machine generated language. Building on these differences, we trained a classifier using only the thirteen human traits to automatically discriminate between truthful and deceptive language, with a classification AUC of up to 0.966. Thus, despite the fact that large language models mirror text written by genuine (and truthful) humans, their lack of diversity in human traits makes them easier to identify. These results suggest that psychologically grounded human traits offer a robust feature set unaffected by the “human-ness” of LLM language, and further suggest that AI and humans are behaviorally different when communicating about experiences.
Néotectonique, sismotectonique et aléa sismique du nord-ouest du Vénézuéla (Système de failles d'Oca-Ancón)

A cause de la faible sismicite du nord-ouest venezuelien, l'aleas sismique a ete estime par neotectonique et sismotectonique. Des accidents actifs de quelques dizaines de kilometres, a faible vitesse de deplacement (0,4 mm/an), sont capables de generer des seismes de magnitude moderee (6ms7) et a periode de retour (>1500 ans) superieure a la periode de connaissance de la sismicite. Pour le systeme de failles d'oca-ancon (600 km en colombie et au venezuela), les tranchees etablissent la vitesse a 2 mm/an et l'occurrence de seismes de magnitude (ms) 7,4 a 7,5 (recurrence respectivement de 1752133 ans et de 43001000 ans pour les failles d'ancon et d'oca). Nous avons etudie par tranchees la liquefaction pour deux seismes de magnitude moderee au large de la cote falconienne (avril-mai 1989) et confirme que des seismes de magnitude 5 peuvent induire des phenomenes de liquefaction dans un rayon de 30 km. La carte macrosismique du seisme de churuguara du 24-11-90 a ete realisee et nous avons reetudie certains seismes associes au systeme d'oca-ancon, et propose des mecanismes au foyer coherents avec la cinematique et le champ de contraintes actuel. D'autre part, l'evolution tectonique du bassin de falcon depuis l'eocene superieur-oligocene a ete precisee pour comprendre le contexte tectonique des deformations recentes. On a modelise de facon analogique deux problemes tectoniques: l'existence de zones de transfert le long du chevauchement de guadalupe-taima taima, et l'inversion tectonique du bassin de falcon. Enfin, nous proposons un modele d'evolution cenozoique de la facade sud-americaine du domaine caraibe qui tient compte en particulier de l'existence d'une phase distensive generalisee de cette facade pendant l'oligocene, responsable de la formation du bassin de falcon dans un contexte d'arriere-arc
