Using Smartphone in Batik and Traditional Textile: Intention Measurement and TAM Approach

The development of mobile internet services allows more and more consumers to adopt smartphones as their main communication device. This study focuses on the application of TAM to determine the level of willingness of batik and textile craftsmen to use smartphones and the variables in TAM that influenced the willingness. The population of the study was batik and textile craftsmen in the region of Bayat, Klaten, Central Java, with 243 samples using 30-question questionnaires with the answers measured on 1-5 Likert scale. The results of data analysis used the GSCA software. From the eight hypotheses proposed, it can be seen that there are two hypotheses which are not proven to be influential. Technical support is not statistically significant for the variable of ease of use. The findings in this study strengthen the TAM2 technology acceptance theory. Management support has an effect on the variable of usefulness. This finding is consistent with or strengthens Igbaria’s technology acceptance theory (1997). Social Influence does not have a significant effect on usefulness. The results of this study do not support the TAM technology acceptance theory since this research was conducted when smartphone was no longer a new technology. Keywords— ease of use, usefulness, TAM, Mobil Internet Service

The Creation and Implementation of an Electronic Exercise Prescription at an Ontario Family Health Team

Recent evidence shows that 85% of Canadian adults do not meet the recommended physical activity (PA) guidelines set forth by the Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology (Colley et al. 2011). In Kingston, Ontario, Canada 66% of males and 50% of females are overweight or obese, which may be associated with decreased PA levels among the Kingston community as compared to previous years (Vital Signs 2012). There is unequivocal evidence regarding the importance of physical activity in the prevention of a wide variety of diseases and obesity. Regular PA is inversely related to the occurrence of obesity, cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and other common lifestyle related diseases. CSEP’s suggested 150minutes of weekly PA is a guideline to help Canadians achieve the health benefits and disease prevention associated with regular PA (Haskell et al. 2007). At Queen’s University, located in Kingston, senior students in the School of Kinesiology and Health Studies have been given a chance to make an impact on the PA levels of Kingston residents through the Community-Based Physical Activity Promotion course. By connecting students with a community-based group or organization, the year-long course provides an opportunity for students to practically apply the theories, evidence, and skills discussed in course seminars to the promotion of community PA involvement.
The Influence of Matrix Technology on the Subdivision of Sustained Release Matrix Tablets

The subdivision of sustained release tablets is a controversial issue, especially concerning its impact on dissolution profiles. The purpose of this study was to elucidate the behavior upon subdivision of this class of tablets. For this, three common sustained release matrices containing different technologies were selected, e.g., a tablet comprised of a multiple-unit particulate system (MUPS), a lipid matrix tablet, and a polymeric inert matrix tablet. These tablets were studied concerning their physicochemical performance, dissolution rate, and kinetic profile before and after their subdivision. When subdivision occurred in the scoreline, mass variation and mass loss were below the mean values described in the literature. The dissolution of tablets with inert matrices and some lipid tablets that had their matrices preserved along the dissolution was influenced directly by tablet surface area, which increased after the subdivision. Such a result implies possible clinical consequences, especially in the case of drugs with a narrow therapeutic window, such as clomipramine. Conversely, the subdivision of MUPS tablets did not interfere in the dissolution profile since the drug was released from the granules that resulted from tablet disintegration. Hence, MUPS technology is the most recommended to produce sustained release matrix tablets intended for dose adjustment upon subdivision.
Reflection of Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) in Implementation of Services at Bishnah and Purmandal Block, Jammu

Abstract The present research is an attempt to study the awareness of anganwadi workers regarding implementation of services in Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) project Bishnah block and Purmandal block. A sample of 100 respondents (anganwadi worker) was selected from Bishnah and Purmandal block of Jammu district. Multi stage sampling technique was adopted for sample selection. The tool consisted of a self-devised interview schedule for assessment of awareness among anganwadi workers about implementation of services of ICDS. Results of the study revealed that neither the awareness nor the implementation of services was at satisfactory level as desired by the objectives of ICDS. Hence there is a strong and intense need for improving the training quality provided to anganwadi workers before letting them go into the field jobs.
Hospital Information Systems Success: Towards an Evaluation Framework

Background: the generic presumption related to the success of hospital information systems (HIS) has been debated by a few medical informatics experts. They have pointed out the extensive failure of HIS. Objective: this paper has attempted to develop an improved conceptual base to practically guide the evaluation of the success of hospital information systems. The evaluation of HIS is deemed vital to assure their successful implementation and beneficial effect on the delivery of healthcare; for that reason information systems evaluation theories were reviewed. Results: a novel framework has been introduced for the evaluation of hospital information systems. The proposed framework is based on previous IS evaluation models, specifically, the DeLone and McLean IS Success Model and Technology Acceptance Model, integrated with hospital culture dimension. The paper has discussed the proposed methodology based on the evaluation of the success of VistA HIS in Prince Hussein Hospital and Prince Hamza Hospital in the Jordan. Conclusion: the proposed framework can be potentially used as a tool to conduct better and comprehensive hospital information systems success evaluation.
Mixing in a Density-Driven Current Flowing over a Rough Bottom

Laboratory experiments have been conducted to investigate the mechanisms regulating mixing in a lock-release dense gravity current flowing over a bottom roughness represented by an array of cylinders. Both spacing (sparse vs. dense configuration) and height of the roughness elements compared with the height of the current have been varied. Experimental results suggest that enhanced mixing can occur via two different mechanisms. For a sparse configuration the dense current moves between the cylinders and the mixing is enhanced by the vortices generated in the wake of the cylindrical obstacles. For a dense configuration the dense current propagates over the top of the cylinders and the mixing is enhanced by the onset of convective instability between the dense current above the cylinders and the ambient lighter water between the cylinders. As expected, for small values of the cylinder height to the water depth, h/H, the dense current behavior approaches that of a current over a smooth bottom, while the largest deviations from the smooth bottom case are observed for large values of h/H.
INVESTIGATING SECONDARY TEACHERS’ STATISTICAL UNDERSTANDINGS

Most secondary teachers are familiar with the procedures of basic descriptive statistics, but they have not necessarily been prepared to interpret graphical representations of data or to reason about sampling distributions. In this exploratory research study, we investigate the understandings of eleven teachers who participated in a semester-long course, using Fathom, to develop their understanding of these concepts. We present the analysis of a preand post-test of content knowledge, the teachers’ performance on two tasks, and their use of Fathom as a tool to simulate and represent sampling distributions.
Reevaluating uncertainties in (cid:22) B ! X s (cid:13) decay

: The rare decay (cid:22) B ! X s (cid:13) is an important probe of physics beyond the standard model. The largest uncertainty on the total rate and the CP asymmetry arises from resolved photon contributions. These appear (cid:12)rst at order 1 =m b and are related to operators other than Q 7 (cid:13) in the e(cid:11)ective weak Hamiltonian. One of the three leading contributions, Q q 1 (cid:0) Q 7 (cid:13)
Danish University Colleges Physiotherapy as a disciplinary institution in modern society-A Foucauldian perspective on physiotherapy in Danish private practice Præstegaard,

In many Western countries, physiotherapy in a private context is practiced and managed within a neoliberal ideology. Little is known about how private physiotherapeutic practice functions, which is why this study aims to explore how physiotherapy is practiced from the perspective of physiotherapists in Danish private practice, within a Foucauldian perspective. This study consisted of 21 interviews with physiotherapists employed in private practice and observation notes of the clinic. Interviews and observation notes were analyzed through the lens of Foucault’s concepts of discipline, self-discipline, power and resistance. Three categories were constructed: (1) the tacit transition from person to patient; (2) the art of producing docile bodies; and (3) the inhibition of freedom of action by practicing in private homes. From a Foucauldian perspective, private physiotherapeutic practices have a disciplinary function in modern society as the physiotherapists produce docile bodies through disciplinary technologies, whereby their business becomes profitable. Most patients support the physiotherapists’ ‘‘regime of truth’’ but if they resist, they are either excluded or accepted as ‘‘abnormal’’ but as a necessary source of income. The physiotherapists appear to be unconscious of the bio-powers working ‘‘behind their backs’’ as they are subject to the Western medical logic, and the neoliberal framework that rules their businesses.
Study of maternal determinants influencing birth weight of newborn

Background: Birth weight is an important indicator of a child′s vulnerability to the risk of childhood illness and chances of survival. The identification of factors contributing to low birth weight (LBW) is therefore of paramount importance. Objective: The objective was to investigate effects of maternal factors on birth weight of the baby. Materials and Methods: In a cross-sectional hospital-based study, data collection was done on 100 women for their age at the time of delivery, gestational age (GA), parity, height, weight, hemoglobin, blood sugar, blood pressure, sex of the delivered child, and weight of the child during the period from June to August 2014. Descriptive statistics, bivariate analysis, receiver operative characteristic (ROC) curve, and logistic regression analysis were used. Results: The proportion of LBW (<2500 g) was found to be 36.8% in the infants. Anemia was seen in 67% of the women. Bivariate analysis showed that GA (r = 0.68) was significantly associated with LBW (P < 0.05). ROC analysis revealed sensitivity (86% and 81%) and specificity (60% and 64%) for GA and parity, respectively. Furthermore, GA <37 and parity <2 found to increase risk of LBW by 8.9 and 4.5 times, respectively (P < 0.05). Maternal age, height, weight, and sex of the child had no statistical significant effect on determining the risk of LBW. Conclusion: GA and parity were found to be the important maternal parameters influencing the birth weight of the child.
Divestiture and Company's Financial Performance: An Empirical Study on Companies Listed on Indonesia Stock Exchange

In an uncertain business environment, most of the companies will do some actions to optimize their performance such as merger & acquisition, where this action commonly followed by divestiture. Previous studies have shown diverse impacts from divestiture. In this study, the sample used were companies listed in Indonesia Stock Exchange in 2009-2018 who did a divestiture action. A non-parametric Wilcoxon Signed Rank test was used in comparing companies’ financial ratio such as TATO, Cash Ratio, M/B Ratio, Net Profit Margin on Sales, ROA, ROE, and P/E Ratio. From this study, TATO, ROA, Net Profit Margin to Sales, and P/E Ratio from pre until post divestiture were different, but it weren’t for Cash Ratio, M/B Ratio and ROE. Keywords—Merger & Acquisition, Divestiture, non-parametric test, Wilcoxon Signed Rank test, financial ratio.
Expression of GluA2-containing calcium-impermeable AMPA receptors on dopaminergic amacrine cells in the mouse retina

Purpose The neuromodulator dopamine plays an important role in light adaptation for the visual system. Light can stimulate dopamine release from dopaminergic amacrine cells (DACs) by activating three classes of photosensitive retinal cells: rods, cones, and melanopsin-expressing intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs). However, the synaptic mechanisms by which these photoreceptors excite DACs remain poorly understood. Our previous work demonstrated that α-amino-3-hydroxyl-5-methyl-4-isoxazole-propionate (AMPA) receptors contribute to light regulation of DAC activity. AMPA receptors are classified into Ca2+-permeable and Ca2+-impermeable subtypes. We sought to identify which subtype of AMPA receptors is involved in light regulation of DAC activity. Methods AMPA receptor-mediated light responses and miniature excitatory postsynaptic currents were recorded from genetically labeled DACs in mouse retinas with the whole-cell voltage-clamp mode. Immunostaining with antibodies against tyrosine hydroxylase, GluA2 (GluR2), and PSD-95 was performed in vertical retinal slices. Results The biophysical and pharmacological data showed that only Ca2+-impermeable AMPA receptors contribute to DAC light responses driven by ipRGCs or cones (via depolarizing bipolar cells). We further found that the same subtype of AMPA receptors mediates miniature excitatory postsynaptic currents of DACs. These findings are supported by the immunohistochemical results demonstrating that DACs express the PSD-95 with GluA2, a subunit that is essential for determining the impermeability of AMPA receptors to calcium. Conclusions The results indicated that GluA2-containing Ca2+-impermeable AMPA receptors contribute to signal transmission from photosensitive retinal cells to DACs.
Beta Cell Deficit in Diabetes: Implication for Treatment of Type 2 Diabetes

There is global consensus that type 1 diabetes is characterized by a loss of beta cells, mainly through autoimmune-mediated beta cell destruction [1]. On the other hand, obesity, hyperinsulinemia and insulin resistance have often been emphasized as characteristics of type 2 diabetes in contrast to type 1 diabetes. However, studies have shown that if hyperinsulinemia is corrected by insulin sensitivity, insufficient insulin secretion in patients with type 2 diabetes and even those with Impaired Glucose Tolerance (IGT) becomes apparent [2-4].
Exchange Rate Risk and Business Cycles

We show that currencies with a steeper yield curve tend to depreciate at business cycle horizons, in violation of uncovered interest parity (UIP), but the yield curve adds no explanatory power over and above interest differentials in explaining the exchange rate at longer horizons. We argue that exchange rate risk premia reallocate returns intertemporally to investors who value them relatively highly, reflecting transitory innovations to their stochastic discount factor consistent with business cycle risk. Using holding period returns, we identify a tent-shape relationship, across horizons, between dollar-bond excess returns for long maturity bonds and the relative slope. In addition, we find that short-horizon UIP deviations switch sign following yield curve inversions, consistent with the interpretation of inversions as indicators of changes in growth and inflation expectations. We show that accounting for liquidity yields does not alter our results, but rather contributes to explaining cross-sectional differences across currencies, consistent with permanent innovations to agents' stochastic discount factor.
Punishment: one tool, many uses

Abstract Abstract Humans are outstanding in their ability to cooperate with unrelated individuals, and punishment – paying a cost to harm others – is thought to be a key supporting mechanism. According to this view, cooperators punish defectors, who respond by behaving more cooperatively in future interactions. However, a synthesis of the evidence from laboratory and real-world settings casts serious doubts on the assumption that the sole function of punishment is to convert cheating individuals into cooperators. Instead, punishment often prompts retaliation and punishment decisions frequently stem from competitive, rather than deterrent motives. Punishment decisions often reflect the desire to equalise or elevate payoffs relative to targets, rather than the desire to enact revenge for harm received or to deter cheats from reoffending in future. We therefore suggest that punishment also serves a competitive function, where what looks like spiteful behaviour actually allows punishers to equalise or elevate their own payoffs and/or status relative to targets independently of any change in the target's behaviour. Institutions that reduce or remove the possibility that punishers are motivated by relative payoff or status concerns might offer a way to harness these competitive motives and render punishment more effective at restoring cooperation.
X-ray Fabry-Pérot Interferometer

Microscopes, spectromete rs, interferometers, and other high-resolution optical devices are indispensable in natural sciences. Invented by Fabry and P ́ erot [4] the interferometers known under their names have been used for more than a century to explore the visible spectral region of the electromagnetic radiation. They are used for hi gh-precision wavelength measurements in atomic spectroscopy, in astrophysics, and many other physical as well as life sciences [1, 10]. They are used as interference filters and resonators in lase r physics. High resolution instruments of this kind would be extremely useful for research with x rays. X-ray Fabry-P ́ erot interferometers (or resonators) could be used as interference filters with micro-eV spectral resolution [9] for studying dynamics of solids, liquids, and macroscopic biol ogical molecules. They could be used for phasecontrast imaging of nanometer-scale objects. A combined optical-x-ray Fabry-P ́ erot interferometer could bridge the optical and x-ray domains by measuring directly the x-ray to visible light wavelength ratios. X-ray Fabry-P ́ erot interferometers present an exciting and challenging problem.
Incumbent and Entrant Bidding in Scoring Rule Auctions: A Study on Italian Canteen Services

Abstract We empirically investigate incumbents’ and entrants’ bids on an original dataset of 192 scoring rule auctions for canteen services in Italy. Our findings show that winning rebates are lower (i.e., prices paid by the public buyer are higher) when the contract is awarded to the incumbent supplier. This result is not explained by the observable characteristics of the auction or the service awarded. We develop a simple theoretical model showing that the result is consistent with a setting in which the buyer exploits specific information on the incumbent supplier’s production cost.
xpert views on biodiversity conservation in an era of climate change

Adapting conservation policy to the impacts of climate change has emerged as a central and unresolved challenge. In this paper, we report on the results of 21 in-depth interviews with biodiversity and climate change adaptation experts on their views of the implications of climate change for conservation policy. We find a diversity of views across a set of topics that included: changing conservation objectives, conservation triage and its criteria, increased management interventions in protected areas, the role of uncertainty in decision-making, and evolving standards of conservation success. Notably, our findings reveal active consideration among experts with some more controversial elements of policy adaptation (including the role of disturbance in facilitating species transitions, and changing standards of conservation success), despite a comparative silence on these topics in the published literature. Implications of these findings are discussed with respect to: (a) identifying future research and integration needs and (b) providing insight into the process of policy adaptation in the context of biodiversity conservation. 2009 Elsevier Ltd.

General Growth Modeling in Experimental Designs: A Latent Variable Framework for Analysis and Power Estimation

The generality of latent variable growth modeling is demonstrated with a particular emphasis on randomized intervention studies. A multiple-population analysis approach is proposed for the estimation of treatment effects and the estimation of power to detect such effects. The approach allows for interactions between treatment and initial status in their effects on growth. Illustrations of power calculations are carried out with artificial data, varying the sample sizes, number of timepoints, and treatment effect sizes. Real data are used to illustrate analysis strategies and power calculations. Modeling extensions are discussed.
Physical activity and health in mid-age and older women

This report finds that between 2001 and 2004, the percentage of mid-age women doing 30 minutes of physical activity on most days rose from 45 to 54 per cent. This was primarily attributed to walking. The benefits of physical activity can include the prevention of cardiovascular disease, some cancers, diabetes, mental health and musculoskeletal problems. The findings presented in parts three and four of this report are based on data from the Australian Longitudinal Study of Women’s Health.
