The impact of manager’s demographic characteristics on prospector strategy, use of management accounting systems and financial performance

Managers need the support of management accounting system (MAS) in making decisions and controlling activities. This article investigates the factors of CEO's personal characteristics that influence the choice of an appropriate prospector strategy and the intent of using MAS information. Besides, the moderating role of internal locus of control (ILOC) in such relationships was also examined in this research. The sample in this study includes CEOs of large and mid-sized companies in Vietnam. To test the hypotheses, we used the PLS-SEM method. The results indicate that all the effects are significant, except for the direct impact of age on financial performance and the moderating role of ILOC between education and the choices of prospector strategy. This study contributes to the accounting research field by confirming the role of managers’ characteristics, recognizing the important role of MAS and helping managers in designing MAS suitable with the specific characteristics of CEO. As a result, managers can operate firms more effectively.
N ON - ITERATIVE P ARALLEL T EXT G ENERATION VIA G LANCING T RANSFORMER

Although non-autoregressive models with one-iteration generation achieve remarkable inference speed-up, they still fall behind their autoregressive counterparts in prediction accuracy. The non-autoregressive models with the best accuracy currently rely on multiple decoding iterations, which largely sacrifice the inference speed of non-autoregressive models. Inspired by the way of learning word dependencies in autoregressive and iterative-decoding models, we propose Glancing Transformer (GLAT) with a glancing language model (GLM), which learns to capture the word dependency gradually. Experiments on three benchmarks demonstrate that our approach can significantly improve the accuracy of nonautoregressive models without multiple decoding iterations. In particular, GLAT achieves state-of-the-art results among non-iterative models and even outperforms top iterative counterparts in some specific benchmarks.
Effects of different processing methods of Napoleona imperialis (Napoleons Hat) on haematology and serum biochemistry of finisher broiler

Four weeks feeding trial involving 120 (one hundred and twenty) Fedan finisher broilers was carried out in a completely randomized design. The birds were divided into five treatment groups of 24 birds per treatment, represented as T1, T2, T3, T4 and T5 respectively, and replicated into 3 of 8 birds per replicate. Water and feed were given ad-libitum.T1 had no Napoleon's hat seed meal and served as the control,T2 had raw NISM ,T3 had 30 minutes boiled NISM,T4 had 60 minutes NISM, while T5 had 90 minutes boiled NISM. The result of the study showed significant differences (p<0.05) in all the parameters measured except Basophil, Monocytes and white blood cell. There were also significant differences among the biochemical parameters beside cholesterol, albumin, alkaline phosphate (ALP) and aspartate T5 10.05, while Aspartate transaminase (AST). Packed cell volume PCV (%) recorded the highest value of 34.35% in Treatment 5 T5) (34.35%), (90 minutes, while the lowest value (33.30) was recorded in T3 33.30, (30 minutes of boiling) Treatment 4 (T4) recorded the highest value of 10.80 g/dL in Hb, while the lowest value was recorded T5 (10.05), while for WBC, the highest value of 248.67 x103/µl was recorded in T3 WBC and lowest value of 244.07 was recorded in T4(60minutes). Urea level reduced with increase in heat treatment, from 4.00 in T4 to 6.70mg/dL in T3, creatinine (mg/dL) and total protein followed the same trend as WBC, from 114.70 in T5 to 145.20 in T4 and 0.20 in T5 to 0.30 in T3, respectively. The result suggests that 10% inclusion of Napoleona imperialis seed meal could be used in broiler feed successful without deleterious.
Family structure and the process of social maladjustment of juveniles

In the article I presented the results of the research on functioning of adolescents from full and broken families and presented their relationship with selected symptoms of demoralization. I reviewed international research on the relationship between social maladjustment and the family situation as well as its structure and presented the hitherto empirical findings on this topic. The considerations undertaken clearly show that effective prevention of social maladjustment is closely related to the strategy of systemic family support with the active participation of the family court and court probation service.
The case of 3D Pedestrian Network in Hong Kong, Central

In urban areas where road network and pedestrian network are intimately linked yet wildly different, axial lines and road centre line geometries are often used as strategic pedestrian networks to evaluate accessibility, pedestrian flow potential against empirical pedestrian volume counts. However, pedestrian networks in multi-level urban environments are usually separated from the road network. In Hong Kong, the pedestrian network combines both steep topographies as for the road network and separation from the road network due to extensive publicly accessible multi-level outdoor and indoor pedestrian network. Taking multi-level urban environment of Central area in Hong Kong, probably one of the most complex urban area in the world as a case study, we examine the correlation coefficient between spatial configuration and pedestrian volume. The study mainly focuses on comparison between three kinds of network data generalisation models: axial line map, segment map derived from axial map, and pedestrian path centre-line map, the link/node standard. Results show that pedestrian network segment and path centre-line representations can capture built environment features better than axial generalisation. A 3D indoor-outdoor centre-line map is also constructed to represent the intricate multi-level pedestrian network. The results suggest that only a floor by floor version of the Indooroutdoor model would provide an adequate measure of potential pedestrian flow through multi-level urban environments. It is also showed that Angular properties of central area have the strongest effect on pedestrian route choice in the study area. A calibration of 50% 50% Angular Euclidean hybrid metric gives a stable result in terms of interpreting pedestrian movement potential.
Influence of internal residual mechanical stresses on local dielectric strength of EHV extruded XLPE cables

Internal residual mechanical stresses are not uniformly distributed in the cable insulation and form so-called flow patterns or frozen-in stresses. EHV cable samples were analyzed with respect to residual stresses, local breakdown strength and electrical treeing properties. Photoelastic observations have been carried out on the cable samples to investigate quantitative residual stresses. Breakdown strength, electrical tree inception voltage and tree propagation corresponding to the typical regions of the flow pattern have also been investigated and analyzed using Weibull distribution.
QSAR with electrotopological state atom index:Part II † -Antimalarial activity of dihydroqinghaosu derivatives ‡

QSAR analysis of antimalarial activity of some ester and ether derivatives (AR l -AR2 1 ) of dihydroqinghaosu (dihydro­ artemisinin) has been done with electrotopological state atom (ETSA) index in an attempt to explore the atoms or fragments of the molecules that are most important for the mediation of the activity. The study reveals the importance of the oxygen atoms (including those of the peroxide bridge) of artemisinin skeletal ring structure and the lactol oxygen. The observation corroborates an earlier finding that reduction of the peroxide bridge of artemisinin resulting in loss of one oxygen reduces the activity. It was previously suggested that artemisinin and related compounds might kill the parasites by a free radical mediated process and the peroxide bridge might play a crucial role in the mechanism. Further, that the dihydro form (of the lactone moiety) of artemisinin is more active is also traced to the importance of the corresponding lactol oxygen atom in the present QSAR study. Thus, diagnostic potential of the ETSA scheme in identifying the atoms or fragments important for ac­ tivity is revealed from the study. The study further suggests that a. configuration of the lactol oxygen is preferred. The ether / ester side chain should be of less bulk and preferably with oxo functionality. Presence of branchedness and alicyclic ring in the side chain has negativc contributions to the activity.
Meaningful Text: Total Hip Replacement Patients’ Lived Experience of a Nursing Care Plan Written in Lay Language

Person-centred care involves respecting patients’ experiences, preferences, and needs, as well as sharing information with them and involving them in care planning. Scant research has been conducted on how it influences patients to have direct access to their care planning when it has been established through the use of standardised care plans or pathways. In the orthopaedic ward in which this study was conducted, a standardised nursing care plan for total hip replacement patients (THR), which was originally written in professional language, was rewritten in lay language and used as peri-operative teaching material for this patient group. To explore the meaning THR patients ascribe to the lived experience of reading and retaining their standardised nursing care plan in lay language during their hospital stay. The data collection and analysis followed a method adapted by the Vancouver School of Doing Phenomenology. Data were collected through 12 in-depth interviews with six THR patients. The main finding was that the participants acquired knowledge from the text of the care plan that was understandable and meaningful, as evidenced by the empowering impact it had on them. This impact included improved psychological wellbeing, more open communication, and the provision of a tool to keep track of care. Some revisions of the care plan were recommended. The study suggests that a patient version of standardised care plans can act as an important educational tool for THR patients that can empower them to manage their health situations.
Attributes of pedoindicator soils in areas cultivated with typical crops in the Western Amazon, Brazil

The crop systems adopted in the Amazônia region have been studied several times in terms of the variability and to indicate the soil attributes more sensitive to the different crops. Thus, the objective of this work was to apply multivariate techniques in order to identify the chemical attributes most sensitive to environmental changes in different crop systems in Western Amazonia, Brazil. The research was conducted in five rural properties located in the Humaitá city region, Western Amazonia, Brazil. There were selected four environments with natural characteristics (Native Forest - NF) and five cropping systems (Grazing, Cassava, Açaí, Agroforestry and Reforestation). In the selected areas, soil samples were collected at depths layers of 0.0-0.05 m; 0.05-0.1 m and 0.1-0.2 m and the following chemical analyzes were performed: pH in water, Ca2+, Mg2+, K +, Resin-P, phosphorus bio-available particulate (Pbp), OC, Al3+, H++Al3+ and from these results SB, T, t, m% and V% were calculated. Multivariate statistical techniques were used to verify similarities between the crop systems in the attempt to relate the crops grown and the chemical attributes. The multivariate analysis was essential in the crop systems distinction, as well as to describe the relationship with the chemical properties. The results demonstrate and reinforce the existing variability between crop systems, with emphasis on the variation in crop systems, compared to natural environments.
Contrasting trends in two East Asian populations of the Greater White-fronted Goose Anser albifrons

East Asian Greater White-fronted Goose Anser albifrons populations are less well defined and monitored than those in Europe and North America. Here, we combine historical and newly-reported telemetry data, wintering waterbirds surveys and expert advice to synthesis and update our knowledge of movements between the breeding and wintering distributions for Greater White-fronted Geese in East Asia. These sources suggest the existence of two biological flyway populations with contrasting population trends. The first consists of birds breeding on the Russian arctic, extending from the Khatanga River to east of Svyatoy Nos Cape (near Yana Bay, Yakutia), which migrates to winter in China where it is now almost totally confined to the Yangtze River floodplain. In recent years, this population has numbered between 30,000–55,000 individuals (compared to 140,000 in the 1990s), with > 70% concentrated at Poyang Lake in winter. The number of key sites identified for the species in China has increased with improved survey coverage since 2004. Birds from the second population also breed in arctic Russia, from east of Svyatoy Nos Cape to the Anadyr River, and winter in Japan and South Korea where 224,000–242,000 (in 2017/18 and 2018/19) and 178,000–182,000 (2018/19 and 2019/20) occur, respectively, compared to a total population size of 60,000 reported in the late 1990s. Although the telemetry studies provide single examples of tracked birds moving between the two populations, suggesting some permeability, we contend that the populations are relatively discrete, but recommend retaining three management units (for China-, Japanand Korea-wintering birds) because of the count, management and legislative logic of doing so. The results given here provide a robust assessment of the current status of these populations, but between-year differences in count totals underline the need for continued improvement of the count system in China. They also build a stronger basis for the effective conservation for this species in the region, highlighting the need for improved monitoring and management for the declining numbers wintering in China.
SELECTING KDD FEATURES AND USING RANDOM CLASSIFICATION TREE FOR PREDICTING ATTACKS

: The purpose of this study is to identify some higher-level KDD features, and to train the resulting set with an appropriate machine learning technique, in order to classify and predict attacks. To achieve that, a two-steps approach is proposed. Firstly, the Fisher’s ANOVA technique was used to deduce the important features. Secondly, 4 types of classification trees: ID3, C4.5, classification and regression tree (CART), and random tree (RnDT), were tested to classify and detect attacks. According to our tests, the RndT leads to the better results. That is why we will present here the classification and prediction results of this technique in details. Some of the remaining results will be used later to make comparisons. We used the KDD’99 data sets to evaluate the considered algorithms. For these evaluations, only the four attack categories’ case was considered. Our simulations show the efficiency of our approach, and show also that it is very competitive with some similar previous works.
COCHLEAR INVOLVEMENT IN VITILIGO PATIENTS

Material and methods: The aim of this study was to assess vitiligo patients in terms of hearing thresholds using conventional pure tone audiometry (0.25 to 8 kHz), high frequency pure tone audiometry (10 and 12.5 kHz), as well as Transient Evoked Otoacoustic Emissions (TEOAEs). We correlated the audiometric findings with vitiligo duration and severity. The study included 75 subjects with a mean age of 29.7 ± 8.6 years. There were 50 vitiligo patients and 25 age and gender matched healthy controls who had never had any audiological condition or exposed to excessive noise.
Older Adults with First-Onset Schizophrenia: An Under-Recognized and Under-Served Patient Population

Schizophrenia is typically understood to be a disorder with onset in early adulthood, but nearly a quarter of patients are estimated to develop schizophrenia after age 40. Late-onset schizophrenia (patients with onset after age 40) and very-late onset schizophrenia (patients with onset after age 60) are historically an under-recognized and under-served population. Reasons for this are manifold, and may include barriers such as inconsistent terminology used to describe these patients, challenges with diagnosing, and lack of resources and research for these patients. To overcome these barriers, the DSM should include these subsets and provide clear diagnostic criteria. Incorporating these subsets into the learning objectives of medical school and residency programs would also promote further education and thus recognition of these patients. Finally, allocating funds towards resources and research in first-onset diagnosis of schizophrenia in adults over 40 would optimize treatment and improve understanding of this vulnerable patient population.
MEDIATORY ROLE OF EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE

According to the importance of academic staff job satisfaction at university and evaluating effective factors on satisfaction, the present study is to clarify the relationship between personality factors and job satisfaction by the mediatory role of emotional intelligence. The study involved 440 academic staff selected by multi-stage sampling from public research universities in Klang Valley, Malaysia. This study applied a cross-sectional design. Big Five Inventory (BFI), Emotional Intelligence Test (SSEIT), and Job Descriptive Index (JDI) have been used to measured variables of the study. Additionally, the Pearson correlation coefficient, multiple linear regression analysis, and mediation analysis (Sobel test) are used for data analysis. The findings released a positive correlation between emotion perception, utilization of emotion, managing own emotions, managing others’ emotions, conscientiousness, agreeableness, and openness with job satisfaction. Conversely, there is a negative correlation between neuroticism and job satisfaction, whereas no correlation is observed between extraversion and job satisfaction. Personality factors likewise showed a significant relationship with almost all emotional intelligence factors except the utilization of emotion and neuroticism. The utilization of emotion and neuroticism predicted the level of job satisfaction, and only utilization of emotion significantly mediated the relationships between agreeableness, conscientiousness, and openness with job satisfaction. In fact, the agreeableness, conscientiousness, and openness academic staff have a better ability to apply emotion to obtain job satisfaction than other staff. In short, the study sheds new light in the context of psychology, particularly in the job satisfaction context among academic staff at universities.
PRICE-QUALITY SCHEMA ORIENTATION AND MARKET EFFICIENCY PERCEPTIONS: A CROSS CULTURAL AND INTERCULTURAL STUDY OF CANADIANS AND CHINESE

This study investigates 1) whether Canadians have stronger price-quality schemas (PQ) and perceptions of market efficiency (ME) than Chinese in both Canada and China, and 2) how acculturation affects Chinese immigrants’ PQ and ME. A pre-test and a main study were conducted. In the main study, data from 192 Canadians, 148 Chinese immigrants, and 170 domestic Chinese usable questionnaires were collected in Canada and China. PQ, ME, acculturation, individualism, and collectivism scales were adopted from prior studies. Data was analyzed by t-tests, ANOVA, ANCOVA, and regressions analyses. Findings showed that Canadians have significantly stronger PQ and ME than their Chinese immigrant in Canada and domestic Chinese with exception of that Chinese immigrant have an even stronger PQ than Canadians. Acculturation was not significantly related with Chinese immigrants’ PQ or ME. However, individualism and collectivism were found related to three consumer groups’ PQ and/or ME.
The Traces of Oppression and Trauma to Ethnic Minorities in Indonesia Who Experienced Rape on the 12 May 1998 Tragedy: A Review of Literature

This study explores oppression and trauma to ethnic Chinese minority women in Indonesia who experienced rape on the 12 May 1998 tragedy through literary data. The research method used was qualitative-narrative. The data source used was a novel titled Mei Merah (MM). The data analysis technique was carried out through stages that identified literary texts related to women's oppression from ethnic minorities; clarification of literary texts related to the oppression of women from ethnic minorities; data exposure; and data validation. The results show that ethnic Chinese women in Indonesia who experienced rape undergo trauma, impacting their psychological conditions. This was shown through Humaira, the novel’s character, who experienced a phase of trauma, a phase of madness, and a phase of suicide due to rape. It happened because of a profound traumatic experience. Moreover, ethnic minority women who are raped often go abroad to remove traces because they feel ashamed and traumatized by being raped.
Semi-Replication-Competent Retroviral Vectors Expressing Gibbon Ape Leukemia Virus Fusogenic Membrane Glycoprotein (GALV FMG) Gene for Cancer Gene Therapy

This is an Open Access article distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution Non-Commercial License (http://creativecommons.org/ license/by-nc/3.0/). A semi-replication-competent retroviral (s-RCR) vector system in which the gag-pol and env (GALV FMG, gibbon ape leukemia virus fusogenic membrane glycoprotein) genes were split into two separate packageable vectors was developed. These vectors are more efficient than replication-defective retroviral (RDR) vectors in gene delivery and have a higher transgene capacity than replication-competent retroviral (RCR) vectors. For the gag-pol vector construction, internal ribosomal entry site-enhanced green fluorescent protein (IRES-EGFP) was introduced downstream of the gag-pol sequence of the previously constructed MoMLV-10A1-EGFP vector to generate MoMLV-gag-pol-IRES-EGFP. For env vector construction, GALV FMG was inserted into the pCLXSN vector to generate pCLXSN-GALV FMG-IRES-EGFP. MoMLV-gag-pol-IRES-EGFP and pCLXSN-GALV FMG-IRES-EGFP were co-transfected into 293T cells to generate s-RCR viruses. These viruses propagated EGFP and induced syncytium formation due to the cytotoxicity of GALV FMG. To improve the cytotoxicity of s-RCR vector system, GALV FMG or the fusogenic envelope G glycoprotein of the vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV-G) was inserted into gag-pol vector. Co-transfection of MoMLV-gag-pol-IRES-GALV FMG + MoMLV-EGFP or MoMLV-VSV-G + pCLXSN-GALV FMG-IRES-EGFP in 293T cells induced stronger syncytium formation than s-RCR vectors (MoMLV-gag-pol-IRES-EGFP + pCLXSN-GALV FMG-IRES-EGFP). In addition, s-RCR stocks collected from transfected 293T cells induced syncytium formation in the human cancer cell lines HT1080 and TE671. Hence, the s-RCR vector systems developed in this study are useful tools for cancer gene therapy.
