Flicker-Noise Model (FN) that takes into account the non-equilibrium state of studied system is considered. Model eliminates contradiction between concepts and experiments for different systems. Hypothesis of FN generation in non-equilibrium system sensitive to its internal structure is confirmed by computer simulation. Obtained graphic dependences of the power spectral density on the basis of the proposed model coincide with the experimental results.
Mediation Practices in Socially Disadvantaged Families

The chapter at hand presents a long-term panel study on the role of media within socialisation of socially disadvantaged families in Austria and sheds light on how the parents of the study dealt with mediation practices. Firstly, the chapter introduces the study and briefly defines its theoretical and methodological basis. Secondly, it presents selected results with respect to parents’ mediation practices. The central question is how they changed over time with respect to both children’s age and changing media use over nearly twelve years of research. Against this background, different practices of mediation will be discussed and observed in the longitudinal study. Finally, the chapter reflects on and summarises the insights and outcomes relating to parents’ mediation practices.
The Ex-Ante Economic Analysis of Investments in Large Dams: A Brief History

This paper provides an overview of six developments in the ex ante economic analyses of large dams: Adding Systems Analysis; Incorporating Multiple Objectives; Incorporating Environment and Social Losses; Recognizing Economy-Wide Linkages; Modeling Non-cooperative Behavior; and Dealing with Uncertainty. The paper briefly discusses the evolution of each development and summarizes how the research findings have been integrated into the practice of using economic analysis to evaluate potential public investments in large dams. The paper also considers how ex post analyses of dams have been conducted and whether the insights from them have influenced the ex ante analyses that followed that research.
Advantages of Maize-Haricot bean Intercropping over Sole Cropping through Competition Indices at west Badewacho woreda, Hadiya Zone, SNNPR

A field experiment was conducted at west Badewacho Woreda, Hadiya Zone, to investigate the effect of cropping systems and planting patterns on crop yield, and to evaluate the systems for better management of resources using different competitive indices. The treatments were sole maize, sole Haricot bean, 100 maize+25 haricot bean, 100 maize+50 haricot bean, 100 maize+75 haricot bean and 100 maize+100 haricot bean, using randomized complete block design with three replications. The result revealed that grain yield of sole maize and haricot bean were significantly (P<0.05) higher than that of intercropped by 13.4% and 46.33%, respectively. On the other hand, Intercropping of maize with haricot bean increased land use efficiency and gave higher total yields compared to growing either species in sole culture. Regardless of mix proportion, maize intercropped with haricot bean at 100 % population density had better yield advantages, land use efficiency, and economics return than other intercropping system as justified by the higher “LER” 1.40, “K” (13.77) and “MAI” 1777.85. Therefore, maize intercropped with 100 % haricot bean population density is recommended for the study area for their better compatibility and economic benefit as compared to other population densities.

The therapeutic efficnecy of ranolazine in comparison with conventional therapy in diabetic individuals with ischemic heart disease; a randomized clinical trial

Introduction: Patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) have higher risk of coronary artery disease (CAD) and angina than the general population. Objectives: We sought to assess the impact of ranolazine as an antianginal agent to diminish hemoglobin A1c (Hb A1c) level in diabetic individuals under treatment with metformin and gliclazide. Patients and Methods: This study was a randomized parallel-group clinical trial to compare the therapeutic effects of ranolazine versus conventional treatment in patients with concomitant T2DM and stable angina. TERISA (type 2 diabetes mellitus evaluation of ranolazine in subjects with chronic stable angina) was employed to assess the efficiency of ranolazine in lowering the frequency of angina attacks. The study was performed on diabetic patients with symptomatic angina under treatment with either sublingual nitroglycerin or up to two types of antianginal agents. The patients in the intervention group received 1000 mg ranolazine twice a day while patients in the control group were administrated with conventional treatment. Reduction in baseline Hb A1c level was determined at 4 and 8 weeks after the interventions. Results: Ranolazine therapy resulted in up to 15% absolute reduction in Hb A1c level in diabetic patients who had baseline HbA1c level >7%. Ranolazine was more efficient in reducing Hb A1c in patients with poorly controlled disease (i.e. HbA1c>8%, P=0.017). Ranolazine did not affect the glycemic status of patients concomitantly treated with antidiabetic therapy (P=0.560). Conclusion: Concurrent administration of ranolazine along with anti-diabetic treatments (i.e. metformin and gliclazide) was safe to reduce the level of HbA1c in patients with poorly controlled diabetes and stable angina.
Pre-Harvest Control of E. coli O157:H7

Be ef S af et y ABSTRACT Cattle can be naturally colonized with enterohemorragic E. coli (EHEC; also known as Shiga toxin-producing E. coli, STEC) in their gastrointestinal tract. In order to further curtail human illness and ensure a safe and wholesome food supply, research into preharvest E. coli O157:H7 and non-O157:H7 EHEC reduction controls and interventions has grown in recent years. This review addresses the controls and interventions that have been proposed or implemented to reduce EHEC in cattle. The interventions are divided into 3 broad categories: 1) management practices and transport, 2) cattle water and feed management, and 3) live animal treatments. Pre-harvest strategies do not eliminate the need for good sanitation procedures in the processing plant or during food preparation. Live-animal interventions to reduce pathogens must be installed in a multiple-hurdle approach that complements in-plant interventions, so reduction in pathogen entry to the food supply can be maximized. Recently, an increase in the research focused on developing new interventions (e.g., vaccination, DFM, chlorate, phages) and on understanding what effect diet and the microbial population has on EHEC populations in the gut of cattle has been observed. This research has resulted in several novel interventions and potential dietary additions or changes that can reduce EHEC in cattle, including those in, or very near to entering, the marketplace.

This article originated from the second category that emerged on the professional master's dissertation entitled "Educational technology as a strategy for the use of gloves by nursing professionals aiming the contact precaution", presented to the Review Board of the nursing school Aurora de Afonso Costa, Universidade Federal Fluminense (UFF – Fluminense Federal University). Aim: to identify the factors that interfere in the adhesion and/or adequacy of the precautionary contact measures in the use of procedure sterile gloves by the nursing team. Method: this is a methodological study using a quantitative approach, with a total of 66 participants distributed in four stages. In the first stage, 45 nursing professionals from the surgical clinics were interviewed in a university hospital between January and March 2014. Results: 93% of the professionals report a failure in the use of gloves and only 7% do not observe failures. Conclusion: the suitability of gloves is crucial for the safety of patients, professionals, society and the environment.
Time series Forecasting Incorporating Exogenous Information

The discussions on social media platforms reflect the views of masses on different ongoing long term events. The demand for different people-oriented services observes upsurge during the period of such long term events. Accurate forecasting of such time series data has a vital role in many business domains. In this project, we propose two deep learning based architectures for time series forecasting which incorporate exogenous information available from social media in both textual and numerical modalities. Our experiments show that compared to forecasting without exogenous information, adding numerical attributes yields approximately 1% increment in the forecasting accuracy while textual information causes a 6-9% reduction in the accuracy Our assumption on the result is that the collected exogenous data especially the textual information is insufficient in this problem context. Adding more related data from the same or multiple sources may improve the forecasting performance.
External Radiation Exposure to the Public Using Car-borne Survey Method in the Uranium and Thorium Bearing Region of Lolodorf, Cameroon

This study deals with natural radiation exposure to the public caused by external sources in seven inhabited areas located in the uranium and thorium bearing region of Lolodorf, Cameroon. The activity concentrations of 238U, 232Th, and 40K were measured, the annual effective dose to the public assessed, and the distribution map of absorbed dose rate in air was performed. In-situ gamma spectrometry and car-borne survey method using the 3-in × 3-in NaI (Tl) scintillation spectrometer were used. The average absorbed dose rates in air, the external effective dose and the activity concentrations in soil of 238U, 232Th and 40K were 50.4 ± 7.2 nGy h-1, 0.33 ± 0.05 mSv y-1, and 33 ± 3 Bq kg-1, 53 ± 9 Bq kg-1, 182 ± 22 Bq kg-1 respectively. The ratios of the indoor dose rate to outdoor dose rate varied from 0.86 ± 0.04 to 1.12 ± 0.67 with a mean value of 1.02 ± 0.02. Compared to UNSCEAR limits, these radiological risk indicators are relatively high at certain points in the study area. Except for these points and their nearest neighborhood, soils can be used as building materials. In addition, high natural radiation areas are known and well located.
School-Based Counselling Service Use: A Year in the Life of a School Counselling Department

There is limited research detailing school-based counselling services and how they are utilised by students. This study presented counselling service data for a Preparatory to Grade 12 school. Specifically, it examined the number of students seen and sessions provided, and differences between users and non-users of the service. The results showed that approximately 20% of students engaged in counselling. Frequency data indicated that many students had brief contact with counselling and that there is no clear relationship for when this occurs during the term or year. There were also significant differences between users and non-users within key demographics. Implications for use of this information in school as well as recommendations for effective use of counselling service data are presented.
CONVERSION OF LR TO HR IMAGE USING NEWTON FORWARD DIFFERENCE INTERPOLATION

: with bitmap illustrations, as the span of a picture is broadened, the pixels that structure the picture become progressively noticeable, influencing the picture to seem "delicate" if pixels are found the middle value of, or spiked if not. Picture interjection techniques be that as it may, frequently experience the ill effects of high computational expenses and unnatural surface introduction. Picture addition, which depends on an autoregressive model, has accomplished noteworthy enhancements contrasted and the customary calculation regarding picture recreation, including a superior pinnacle motion to-commotion proportion (PSNR) and improved emotional visual nature of the reproduced picture. Be that as it may, the tedious calculation included has turned into a bottleneck in those autoregressive calculations. The primary motivation behind this work is to give recursive calculations to the calculation of the Newton introduction polynomial of a given two-variable capacity.
Molecular Basis of Plant Recognition by Bacteria

Plants are surrounded and infected by a diverse array of beneficial and pathogenic bacteria. To survive in this diverse environment, Plants employ multiple layers of sophisticated detection systems to distinguish pathogenic bacteria from beneficial bacteria and rapidly respond before these pathogens have a chance to cause serious damage to the plants. The most common and widely studied plant recognition involves the first line detection of pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMP) s or endogenous signals released after attack, so called danger-associated molecular patterns (DAMP) s via host pattern‐recognition receptors (PRRs). Recognition of the pathogen by the host defense machinery has been studied using biochemical and genetic approaches and the paper reviews the molecular basis of the common recognition used by plants to perceive pathogenic bacterial attacks and how the hosts initiate efficient defense responses against its specific pathogens.
Cultivating Intimacy with the Natural World: College Students' Care, Connection, and Regeneration in an Agriculture-focused Humanities Course

To address solutions to environmental degradation in an authentic context, this qualitative research study examines college students' responses to outdoor fieldwork in an agriculture-focused humanities course. Students' responses to fieldwork on organic farms generated three integrated themes. Active care encompasses students' actions of care for plants, people, and animals; intimate connection includes feelings of kinship with people, plants, land, farmer networks, and love of farming. Of particular interest is the third theme of regeneration, related to actions ensuring flourishing of future generations of humans and the natural world. The study raises questions about the need for significant curricular change in higher education to prepare students to respond effectively to climate unpredictabilities and environmental degradation.
CHARCUT: Human-Targeted Character-Based MT Evaluation with Loose Differences

We present CHARCUT, a character-based machine translation evaluation metric derived from a human-targeted segment difference visualisation algorithm. It combines an iterative search for longest common substrings between the candidate and the reference translation with a simple length-based threshold, enabling loose differences that limit noisy character matches. Its main advantage is to produce scores that directly reflect human-readable string differences, making it a useful support tool for the manual analysis of MT output and its display to end users. Experiments on WMT16 metrics task data show that it is on par with the best “un-trained” metrics in terms of correlation with human judgement, well above BLEU and TER baselines, on both system and segment tasks.
Conﬁdence order for joint extraction of entities and relations

Recent methods for joint entities and relation extraction using triplets do not model the conﬁdence with which these triplets are extracted. We model the conﬁdence of a triplet conditioned on previous predictions. We design a loss function in an improved sequence-to-sequence model, that estimates the true parameters for the computation of the conﬁdence score. Evaluation shows that our method signiﬁcantly outperforms previous methods. It is also more stable and leaves the possibility of tuning against a customised precision-recall trade-off
The Effects of Emotional Purification Program on Self-Esteem and Self-Control of the Children from Low-Income Families

At the same time as our society advances, we are putting more and more weight on social support to children who grew up from diverse environments. Especially, previous studies have been focused on self-esteem, self-control, and motivation for children with special needs and children who live in poverty. Most developmentalists assert that parents can play a key role in the development children's self-esteem and self-control.
OFFICE FOR THE COORDINATION OF HUMANITARIAN AFFAIRS

During the first quarter of 2008, Israeli authorities demolished 124 structures due to a lack of permits. In 2007, 208 Palestinian-owned structures have been demolished under the same circumstances. Sixty-one of the demolished structures were residential and led to the displacement of 435 Palestinians, including at least 135 children. Most of these demolitions occurred in the Jordan Valley and South Hebron areas. This trend, however, was discontinued in the following two months (as of 20 May), when only one structure was demolished.
Characterizing the tumor microenvironment of metastatic ovarian cancer by single cell transcriptomics

Epithelial ovarian cancer is a highly heterogenous, metastatic and lethal disease. The presence of CD8+T cells within ovarian tumors is positively associated with overall patient survival. Determining if a patient has T cells that respond to immunotherapies, their characteristics and how they can be manipulated to target cancer cells is an area of intense investigation in cancer therapy. This study determines the cellular composition and the transcriptional state of immune cells in metastatic ovarian cancer samples from patients using single cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq). Hierarchical clustering stratified our patient cohort into 2 main groups: 1) a high T cell infiltration (high Tinf) group and 2) a low T cell infiltration (low Tinf) group. To assess the immune response in these patient samples, we performed an unsupervised clustering of the T cell population in each group. The T cell population clustered into 4 and 3 subpopulations in the high Tinf T cell and low Tinf respectively. A granulysin expressing T cell cluster was identified and unique to the High Tinf group. Interestingly, although both groups had resident memory CD8+T (CD8+Trm) cells, only the CD8+Trm cells in the high Tinf group expressed TOX, a recently described transcription factor. TOX confers longevity to T cells within immunosuppressive environment such as cancer. Interestingly, along with TOX+ T cells, we found a unique plasmablast cluster and an IRF8+ macrophage cluster unique to the high Tinf group. Our comprehensive scRNA-seq study provides important insights in elucidating the immune response in ovarian cancer patients.
Too Family Friendly For Too Long? The Consequences of Parents' Right to Request Part-Time Work

Using a differences-in-differences approach and controlling for individual unobserved heterogeneity, we evaluate the impact of a 1999 Spanish law that granted all workers with children younger than 7 years old protection against a layoff if the worker had previously asked for a work-week reduction due to family responsibilities. As only mothers took advantage of these arrangements, we find that after the law, employers were: (i) more likely to let childbearing-aged working women "go" relative to their male counterparts; (ii) less likely to promote childbearing-aged women into good jobs; and (iii) less likely to hire childbearing-aged women. As a consequence of this reform, the likelihood of employment among childbearing-aged women decreased by 6 percent with the effect coming from both good and bad jobs. In addition, employers were able to pass at least part of the cost to childbearing-aged women through lower wages, and the amount passed to workers increased with the precariousness of the job. Evidence that the substitution away from (good) jobs widens over time suggests employer learning. These results hold if instead of men, we use older women as the comparison group. Results are also robust to the use of different specifications and placebo tests.
