Effect of Sport Exercise on Hematological Parameters in Healthy Smokers Students

The research included a study the effect of exercise on the hematological parameters among smoker students. The study was applied on (60) blood samples of physical education students and medical microbiology students at aged (18-25). The students divided into two groups (30\group). The first group (non-athletes group) was divided into two subgroups: Smokers and nonsmokers. The second group (athletes group) also divided into two subgroups: Smokers and non-smokers. The result show no significant difference (p>0.05) of white blood cell (WBC), red blood cell (RBC), and hematocrit (PCV), mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH) and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC). But we find significant difference (p>0.05) in hemoglobin (Hb) and platelets (PLT), between non-athletes smokers and non-athletes nonsmokers. The result also show no significant difference (p>0.05) of (WBC), (RBC), (Hb), (PCV), (MCV), (MCH) and (MCHC). But there is a significant difference (p>0.05) in (PLT), between non-athletes smokers and athletes smokers.
Numerical Rainfall Simulation of Different WRF Parameterization Schemes with Different Spatiotemporal Rainfall Evenness Levels in the Ili Region

To obtain high-precision precipitation simulation results, different types of rainfall events in the Ili Region are simulated by using the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model with different physical parameterization schemes. According to the spatiotemporal distribution of rainfall evenness, six rainfall events in the Ili Region are divided into four types. Six microphysical parameterization (MP) schemes, five planetary boundary layer (PBL) schemes, and five cumulus (CU) schemes are combined into 14 parameterization members to simulate the rainfall events. It is worth noting that the simulation result sequence of the WRF model (from best to worst) is as follows: type I (events 3 and 5) > type II (events 1 and 6) > type III (event 2) > type IV (event 4). This finding would imply that the WRF model has the best performance for rainfall events with even spatiotemporal distributions, while it is hard to achieve good simulation results for rainfall events with highly uneven spatial and temporal distributions. The results suggest that no single combination of parameterization members provides the best performance for all rainfall events. According to the overall scheme rankings, d, n, and j are the optimal parameterization combination members that accurately describe the spatiotemporal characteristics of the six rainfall events. The study provides guidance for the selection of the physical parameters for the accurate simulation of different types of rainfall events in the arid region of northwestern China.
Local Residents’ Perception of the Psycho-Social and Economic Impact of Tourism in Goa

This paper explores the benefits and adverse effects of tourism on the psycho-social and economic life of the locals in the coastal village of Cavelossim, Goa (India). In the study a sample comprising 232 household heads were interviewed. Using Chi-square and Kruskal-Wallis H test, it was found that all household heads perceived that tourism had negatively impacted the psycho-social life of the locals. While the major economic benefits of tourism perceived were employment and increased income, the major adverse effect was increase in food prices. It was also found that due to tourism traditional occupations were abandoned for more lucrative employment.
Less ( context ) is more ? Evaluation of a positioning test feedback dashboard for aspiring students

Aspiring engineering students profit from feedback regarding how their mathematical skills compare to the requirements and expectations of an engineering bachelor program. The positioning test is a non-binding test used in Flanders, Belgium assessing the mathematical skills of aspiring students. This paper elaborates on the research on and development of a learning analytics dashboard (LAD) that provides feedback on a participants’ obtained results. Its objective is to provide actionable insights and to raise awareness and reflection about the participants’ strengths and weaknesses, and subsequently their choice of study. To reach the final dashboard, the design passed six iterations, 662 students were surveyed and 60 persons were thoroughly interviewed, including study advisors, students, and visualization experts. The final dashboard was evaluated using the EFLA, SUS, and a custommade questionnaire, and a framework of factual, interpretative, and reflective insights. The results shows that the developed dashboard is a considerable improvement over a comparable state-of-the-art dashboard. Furthermore, results show that a more visual representation, confined to only the most essential information, provides a better overview, leads to more and deeper insights while displaying less information and context, and has better usability and attractiveness scores than a more textual version.
Study of tubal intraepithelial neoplasia (TIN) in various ovarian tumours

Serous tubal intraepithelial carcinoma (STIC), an early lesion limited to the epithelium of the fallopian tube and firstly identified from specimen obtained by prophylactic salpingo-oophorectomy. Histopathological features of STIC include a variable combination of epithelial stratification, loss of cellular polarity, irregular luminal surface, pleomorphism,loss of cilia,nuclear rounding, increased nucleo-cytoplasmic ratio, prominent nucleoli and mitotic figures. Recently described lesions overexpressing p53 in the distal tubes of mutation carriers, and non carriers, have been proposed as histological precursors of high grade serous carcinoma (HGSC). A careful histological examination of ovaries and fallopian tubes prophylactically resected from BRCA1/BRCA2 mutation carriers has provided clues to the existence of cancer precursor lesions in women genetically predisposed to high grade serous carcinoma, and they have been identified not in the ovary, but in the distal tubal epithelium. Present study was undertaken to observe the histological changes in the fallopian tubal epithelium in various ovarian tumours. Key wordsTubal Intrepithelial Neoplasia, Serous tubal Intraepithelial Carcinoma, Ovarian tumours. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Date of Submission: 15-11-2018 Date of acceptance: 29-11-2018 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Serum 25-hydroxy vitamin D3 level in Egyptian patients with alopecia areata

BackgroundVitamin D has multiple effects on innate and adaptive immune responses. The relation between vitamin D levels and alopecia areata (AA), a tissue-specific autoimmune disease, represents an attractive area of research. ObjectiveThe objective of the study was to estimate the serum level of 25-hydroxy vitamin D (25-OH Vit D) in AA patients and explore a probable relation. Patients and methodsA total of 140 individuals from the Egyptian population were recruited into a case–control study, of whom 70 were patients with AA of various types and 70 were healthy controls. Serum 25-OH Vit D levels were measured. Correlations with disease duration and severity, positive family history, age and sex were made. ResultsAA patients comprised 37 male and 33 female patients (13–50 years). The healthy controls comprised 44 male and 26 female individuals (12–50 years). Serum 25-OH Vit D levels were significantly decreased in AA patients than in controls (P=0.023). The female participants in both groups (patients and controls) showed significantly lower vitamin D levels compared with male participants (P=0.005). There was no significant relationship between serum 25-OH Vit D levels and age, duration, severity or positive family history. ConclusionAA is associated with low levels of 25-OH Vit D, especially in female participants. More studies are required to prove its possible role in AA pathogenesis.
An analytical formula for elasticeplastic instability of large oil storage tanks

Assuming axisymmetric buckling and according to the adjacent equilibrium criterion, a buckling critical stress formula of a perfect tank wall is first obtained through analysis of elasticeplastic buckling carried out by J2 plastic flow theory. Furthermore, combining the current tank seismic design standards and the results obtained in this paper, a new critical buckling stress formula of the tank wall is derived after correction for material plasticity by introducing a plasticity influence coefficient. Comparisons between the results obtained and those from the relevant formulas in the design standards of America, Japan, China and Europe are also performed. Our research shows that under interaction of high hydraulic and axial compression, the material properties of the tank wall change rapidly, and the buckling strength of the tank wall also decreases rapidly. The relation between the tank wall buckling critical stress and the hydraulic pressure is similar to Rotter’s semi-empirical formula. The results presented in this paper can provide technical support in further protection of large oil storage tanks. Crown Copyright 2012 Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
LONG-TERM STORAGE OF RADIOACTIVE KRYPTON USING ADSORBENT

Krypton ion implantation into sputtered metals promises to offer improved safety during conditioning and storage or disposal of fission product krypton separated in spent fuel reprocessing plants, and has been investigated on a lab scale. Amorphous and crystalline metal deposits ~ave been sputtered using an unsupported glow discharge at about 10Torr in the annular gap between two concentric cylinder electrodes. The krypton was implanted into the continuously growing metal coating collected inside the outer cylinder. A sputtering voltage of about -3 kV was applied to the inner cylinder and an implantation voltage to the outer cylinder of either -0.3 kV for amorphous or about -1 kV for crystalline metal deposits. The end electrodes have been earthed. Amorphous Fe-Zr and Cu-Zr products contained up to 7 atom -% Kr. In crystalline Cu up to 5 and in crystalline Ti up to 8 atom-% Kr have been determined. The minimum power consumption for the implantation process corresponded to about 10 ppm of the reprocessed reactor power for the amorphous alloys and to about 20 ppm for crystalline Ti. Material and power consumption are reasonably low. In the amorphous alloys a monoatomic krypton distribution is suggested from n~utron scattering results. In the crystalline Cu or Ti the Kr is contained in small bubbles. The thermal release rates of the Kr containing coatings have been determined in a linear temperature gradient up to 103 oc and at constant temperatures until steady state conditions were obtained at higher temperatures. The small initial low temperature release rates were found to decrease with time 1 additional coating with the pure metal or thermal annealing at higher temperatures. They have been therefore associated with the release from the surface regions. The extrapolated thermal release rates for amorphous Fe-Zr and crystalline Ti samples have been determined, being 1~ in 100years at temperatures ~4oooc and ~ o. 1 % in 1 oo years at ~ 300 c.
Turkish-Medium Department And English-Medium Department Students’ Perceived Social Distance To Native English Speakers

Acculturation has been researched a lot in applied linguistics, and many acculturation studies were made in second language learning/acquisition contexts. Also, there are some criticisms about the acculturation theory of Schumann in terms of the social distance component of the theory. Therefore, the present study aimed to study acculturation in a foreign language learning context and contribute to the acculturation theory by providing a solution to the criticisms about the theory. The present study was designed as a quantitative study. 81 students of the Turkish-medium and English-medium departments in a Turkish university participated in the research. The data was collected through the updated version of the Bogardus Social Distance Scale and was analyzed through independent samples t-test, one-way ANOVA, and descriptive statistics. The results of the study indicated that both the participants of the Turkish- and English-medium departments approached the native speakers of English positively. Also, the medium of the departments, the kind of the faculties, having been abroad, and having a sister(s) and/or brother(s) created statistically significant differences while gender, job status of family members, knowing another language, high schools the participants graduated from, and the sources of learning the English culture did not produce such differences. The possible reasons for these findings and the possible contributions of this study to the acculturation theory were discussed.
Insights from OECD Phillips curve equations on recent inflation outcomes

A statistically significant relationship between the unemployment gap and inflation can be found for a clear majority of OECD countries, but the magnitude of the effect is typically weak. A corollary is that the effect of labour market slack on inflation can often be dominated by other shocks, including imported inflation. The current Secretariat Phillips curve specification assumes inflation expectations are anchored at the central bank’s target, although some experimentation suggests that alternative proxies for expectations sometimes work better and there is some evidence that persistent under-shooting of inflation has led to some de-anchoring of expectations from the target, especially in the euro area. For most OECD countries, a measure of the global output gap is both statistically significant and strongly preferred to a domestic gap measure in explaining the wedge between headline and core inflation, although domestic gaps are strongly preferred in explaining core inflation. Various forms of non-linearity in the Phillips curve provide possible explanations for recent weak inflation outcomes, but statistical testing provides only limited support for such explanations.
European integration, trade, and globalization: Eastern Europe’s response to Chinese competition∗

This paper investigates adjustments to Chinese export competition by a group of Eastern and Southeastern European (ESE) countries within EU15 destination-product markets. Using instrumental variables, we evaluate the impact of China’s expansion into these markets and document sizable displacements of ESE exports. While the magnitude of these effects might differ across exporters, significant reductions materialize in terms of both export revenues and quantities. Displacements are about 50 percent smaller in time-sensitive industries (i.e. where short delivery times matter), suggesting a source of comparative advantage that arises from exporters’ relative geographic proximity to a destination or favorable trade infrastructure, in addition to conventional sources. Further results indicate that goods are shipped to fewer destinations and that the main export destination changes more frequently in response to Chinese competition. This indicates overall fewer, less stable trade relationships and potentially specialization into less exposed market niches. JEL-Classification: F14, F15, F61, L25
REVISTA DE CONTABILIDAD SPANISH ACCOUNTING REVIEW

After the financial crisis and with the greater complexity of financial reporting, stakeholders asked firms for more informative audit reports to close the audit expectation gap. In this context, the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board (IAASB) approved a new international standard on auditors reports. One of the major changes is the obligation for listed companies to describe the key audit matters (KAM) in the audit report, in particular, those related to the significant financial reporting risks. This paper empirically analyses the content of the new auditors reports after the accounting reform recently issued in Spain and the factors that condition the KAMs disclosed by auditors. Using the sample of all Spanish listed companies, our results show that these firms mostly report on two to four KAMs and the majority of these relate to revenue recognition, impairment of goodwill and deferred tax recovery in the 2017 audit reports. Applying a multinomial linear regression, the significant variables that condition the KAMs in our sample are sector, market type, and average word count. This evidence contributes to the literature by emphasizing the importance of risks in financial reporting in extended audit reports. ©2021 ASEPUC. Published by EDITUM Universidad de Murcia.

Temporal and Spatial Effects of State Taxes on Economic Growth

In this paper we estimate the relationship between the economic growth of states and taxes, modeling both the effects of states own taxes on growth over time and the fiscal spillover effects of taxes in neighboring states on their economic growth. Our research goes beyond the usual temporal tax-growth analysis in the literature to incorporate spatial spillovers. Using annual data for the states over the period 1999-2013 our estimation strategy divides the data into five-year periods to analyze the effect of both differences and levels of state taxes on state gross state product (GSP) growth. We specify a state production function for output and derive estimating equations that are empirically estimable. Our analysis includes consideration of each of the major state tax revenue sources: income (both personal and corporate), property, and sales taxes. While some previous studies have found strong inverse relationships between state taxes and economic growth, our results indicate that the temporal tax-growth relationship is sensitive to model specification and the time period of analysis. We extend the model to include spatial spillover effects using a spatial Durbin model in order to determine how neighboring states taxes may affect a states economic growth. Our results indicate that negative spillover effects are present in some cases, which we analyze for policy implications.
Pollen Viability and Microspore Culture in Three Broccoli Cultivars (Brassica oleracea L. var. italica Plenck)

Key word: Brassica Embryogenesis Pollen germination Broccoli is a high value vegetable crop in Indonesia, however production is low due to limited number of suitable cultivars, so, breeding hybrid broccoli for warm climate is important. The first step in hybridization is providing homozygote parent plants which can be done efficiently via microspore culture. The objectives of this study were to determine 1) bud size that produce uninucleate microspore stage appropriate for culture; 2) pollen viability, 3) microspore development, in three broccoli cultivars (‘BL 10001’, ‘Royal Green’ and ‘Green Magic’). Various bud size (1 – 5 cm) was squashed and observed microscopically to determine bud size containing uninucleate microspore. Pollen viability was determined by IKI staining and pollen germination method. Chromosome number was counted on root tips using squash method with aceto-orcein stain. Various heat treatment schemes were conducted to induce microspreo development. Result showed uninucleate microspore derived from 2-3 mm and 3-4 mm bud length of ‘BL10001’ and ‘Royal Green’ was responsive for microspore development in culture. Pollen viability varied among cultivars, 78-87% on IKI method and 15-16% on germination test. Microspore culture showed different embryogenesis response; pollen-like structure was produced by ‘BL 10001’. Article history: Received: 18/06/2019 Revised: 12/08/2019 Accepted: 10/09/2019

With error-prone and biased individual traders, can markets aggregate trader information and produce efficient outcomes? We review election stock market evidence that suggests this does happen. Individual traders appear biased and error-prone consistently, yet these markets prove quite efficient in predicting election outcomes. We also review work which documents comparable, but substantially different, phenomena in related laboratory markets. In addition, we report the results from a new laboratory session which shows how we can create particular biases that mirror those in election stock markets. Finally, we discuss how combined laboratory and field experiments can help us understand trader/market interactions. ©1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved. JEL classification:C9; D4; G1
LARGE-EDDY BREAKUP DEVICES-A NEAR 40 YEARS PERSPECTIVE

In the 1970’s a dramatic increase in oil prices made it urgent to find methods decreasing drag on vehicles and especially aircraft. This was concurrent with the discovery of coherent structures in shear-flow turbulence in general and in wall-bounded turbulence in particular. Earlier a remarkable finding that minute amounts of polymer additives to turbulent water flows in pipes could reduce pressure drop with as much as 80%, and this was taken as evidence that it was possible to a↵ect and reduce turbulence. This made NASA in the US interested in di↵erent possibilities to achieve drag reduction that would work also in air flows [2]. The idea of Large Eddy BreakUp (LEBU) devices as a method to reduce skin friction in turbulent boundary layers and ultimately drag on bodies moving through fluids can be traced back to this time. It was believed that the near wall region where the turbulence production has it maximum is influenced by the large scales (of the order of the boundary layer thickness) and that the interaction between the outer and inner regions was important for turbulence production and hence skin friction. By interfering with the large scales it was suggested that the interaction could be disrupted (or at least limited) and would result in a lower turbulence production. The devices themselves would have some inherent penalty drag, but with a smart design it was believed that the integrated reduction of skin friction could be larger than the penalty drag.
IN VITRO CALLUS INDUCTION OF ‘SHIRAZ’ GRAPE (Vitis vinifera L.) USING DIFFERENT MEDIUM AND GROWTH REGULATOR COMBINATION

One of grape cultivars widely used as raw material for wine production is ‘Shiraz’ cultivar. Propagation of this cultivar is necessary for the provision of grape as a wine making material in Bali. In vitro culture is an alternative propagation technique than can be employed to produce planting materials in a shorter time. This research aims to determine the most suitable medium and growth regulator combination in inducing grape cv. ‘Shiraz’ callus in vitro. The study was conducted from November 2017 until February 2018 at Plant Tissue Culture Laboratory, Biology Study Program, Udayana University. The explants used were young stem of grape cv. ‘Shiraz’ and the experiment was conducted using factorial design with two factors. The first factor was basal medium used (MS and WPM) and the second factor was IBA concentration (0; 0.5 and 1 mgL-1) and BAP (0, 1 and 2 mgL-1). The results showed that the highest percentage of callus induction (60%) was obtained on WPM medium without growth regulator combination (control). However, the fastest time of callus appear was on MS medium + 2 mgL-1 BAP without IBA, which was 17 days after planting. The texture and color of callus resulted on this research were friable with white, greenish white, greenish yellow and green in color.
