The Implementation Of The Epstein’s Model As A Partnership Framework At Saudi Kindergartens

The aim of the study is to reveal the implementation of a partnership framework at Saudi kindergartens in accordance to the Epstein’s Model which is considered from the perceptions of Kindergartens’ female teachers. Analytical descriptive methodology was employed, and the study sample included 48 public kindergartens’ teachers and 44 private kindergartens’ teachers in Jeddah city, Saudi Arabia. The study tools included a questionnaire that was related to the six fields of Epstein’s Model including; parenting, communicating, volunteering, learning at home, decision making, and collaborating with community. The results revealed that implementation of a partnership framework at Saudi kindergartens in accordance to the Epstein’s Model were overall average. There were no statistically significant differences between the means of implementing partnership’s frameworks in Saudi Arabian kindergartens with its six fields, which attributed to the specific type of Kindergarten (Public – Private). The significant recommendation of the study is formulating partnerships between community institutions and kindergartens to arrange recreational, educational and social programs after school hours, which would be beneficial for children and their families.
Related to what? Reviewing the literature on technological relatedness: Where we are now and where can we go?

The objective of this paper is to critically review contemporary insights derived from studies that focus on relatedness. A well‐established body of literature has identified three approaches for measuring relatedness, those based on co‐occurrence matrices, industrial hierarchy and resource similarity. From these measures, several authors have begun developing relational networks to capture the branching capabilities of products, industries, technologies and skills. Thereafter the present contribution then shifts from analysing ‘what is' and begins considering what ‘could be'? It argues that the concept of relatedness lies at the heart of deconstructing issues of unrelated diversification and smart specialisation. El objetivo de este trabajo es revisar criticamente las percepciones contemporaneas derivadas de estudios que se centran en el grado de relacion. Un acervo de literatura bien establecido ha identificado tres enfoques para medir el grado de relacion, que son los basados en matrices de co‐ocurrencia, en la jerarquia industrial y en la similitud de recursos. A partir de estas medidas, varios autores han comenzado a desarrollar redes relacionales para capturar las capacidades de ramificacion de productos, industrias, tecnologias y habilidades. Es a partir de ahi que este trabajo deja de analizar “lo que es” y comienza a considerar lo que “podria ser”. Se sostiene que el concepto de grado de relacion es una parte medular de la deconstruccion de cuestiones de diversificacion no relacionada y especializacion inteligente. 本稿の目的は、関連性に注目した研究に由来する現代の洞察を批判的にレビューすることである。 関連性を測定する方法として、共起行列を基にした方法、産業の階層構造を基にした方法、リソースの類似性を基にした方法の3つの方法が、かなりの数の研究により確認されている。 いくらかの研究者は、これらの方法により、製品、産業、テクノロージー、技術、以上の能力の分岐を捉えるために関係ネットワークの開発をはじめている。 その後、本稿は「何が」の分析から「あり得るのは何か」の検討へと移行する。 類似性の概念は、非関連多角化とスマート・スペシャリゼーションの問題の分解する中心にあると論じている。
Third-party certification and post-IPO acquisitions

ABSTRACT We explore the link between third-party certification (venture capital backing, analyst following and having a top underwriter), and post-IPO acquisition activity through the reduction in valuation uncertainty channel. In a sample of 2,424 U.S. IPOs, we find that third-party certification facilitates post-IPO acquisitions. The certified firms are both more likely and conduct acquisitions sooner after the IPO. Our results support the notion that third-party certification reduces post-IPO valuation uncertainty and thereby facilitates a more efficient acquisition strategy.
Caseous Lymphadenitis in Sudanese and Somalian Camels Imported for Meat Consumption in Egypt

This study was conducted on Sudanese and Somalian imported camels at Al-Warraq abattoir, Giza (Egypt), during the period from September 2014 to November 2015. A total of 850 adult one-humped camels ( Camelus dromedarius ) were subjected to clinical and postmortem examinations. Caseous lymphadenitis lesions were detected in 88 (10.35%) animals. Superficial form (9.76%) was significantly more prevalent than the visceral form (0.58%). Incised lesions showed cheesy greenish-whitish pus, four lesions were congested without abscess formation. Coryneform bacteria were isolated as a pure culture in 11 (30.55%) cases. Targeting Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis serotype 1, being a common cause of caseous lymphadenitis, two isolates were identified by pld gene-specific polymerase chain reaction. Other coryneforms were tested by the API Coryne system; three Cellulomonas spp. / Microbacterium spp. and one Brevibacterium spp. were identified. The API-unidentified bacteria were subjected to the Vitek 2 system which identified two isolates as Corynebacterium jeikeium and Corynebacterium urealyticum . The Vitek 2 system-unidentified isolates were classified as unidentified coryneforms. Histopathological findings revealed suppuration, necrosis, hyperplastic lymphoid follicles and sinus histocytosis of the affected lymph nodes. In contrast to small ruminants, few studies are available on caseous lymphadenitis in camel and rare of them involve the visceral form. In conclusion, caseous lymphadenitis is prevalent in Sudanese and Somali imported camels in Egypt. In camels, the disease has variable natures and visceral lesions are uncommon. Coryneform bacteria other than Corynebacterium pseudotu1berculosis are associated with the disease in camels which necessitate multiple identification steps.
An enigmatic Chironomidae (Diptera): first larval description for Nandeva Wiedenbrug, Reiss and Fittkau and evidence for phylogenetic position in Tanytarsini

The previously unknown larva of the genus Nandeva Wiedenbrug, Reiss and Fittkau (Chironomidae: Chironominae) is suggested to be a candidate from tropical northern Australia belonging to the tribe Tanytarsini. The basis for the assumption is DNA analysis showing maximum values of Bayesian posterior probability and Bootstrap support for an exclusive sister relationship of the unreared larva with a male of Nandeva from South America. The monophyly of Nandeva has high support as a member of the subtribe Tanytarsina, although its precise relationships within this subtribe lack support. Larval morphology is described and illustrated, and conforms to the subtribe Tanytarsina in tribe Tanytarsini. The historical tempo is discussed in relation to fossils and dating of pertinent nodes and the term ‘pseudo-gondwanan’ is used to described an extant restricted austral range, but with fossils showing a wider past distribution in the north.
Multilingual Poetry Generation

At the crossroad of Natural Language Processing and Computational Creativity, poetry generation is a complex task, partly due to the different forms it can take and the subjectivity of its evaluation. Because of their inherent nature, poetic texts cannot be translated from one language to another using machine translation models without losing too much information and properties of the poem. This thesis explores different solutions to generate poetry in multiple languages. Four different deep learning models are developed to produce multilingual poetry, focusing on characteristics such as grammaticality, meaningfulness and poeticness of the resulting texts. The last system — called MultiLingual Poetry Generator — combines a multilingual phoneme-based with a language-specific LSTM. It is able to output poetry in both French and English with a 15.2% increase in terms of poeticness, assessed by human evaluation. The results show that it is possible for a model to successfully learn and generate poetry in multiple languages, opening the way to multilingual poetry generation.
Perception of the Selected Business Environment Aspects by Service Firms

The business environment is a profound concern for the state and institutions to make it encouraging to boost entrepreneurship. Given such relevance of the business environment, this paper aims to link selected business environment aspects to business sector. The study identified the perceived differences between sectors in the Czech and Slovak Republics and then a comparison of a similar group of firms. To shape the study, survey-based research planned and conducted in two segments of firm’s (service and non-service), covered 641 enterprises. The current research adopted factor analysis and then t-test and Mann-Whitney test to determine the results. The major findings of the study reveal that the Slovak firms in the service sector scored higher in macroeconomic environment, consumers’ consumption and competition factors and lower in access to finance factor, as compared to their non-service counterparts. However, another key finding indicates that the Czech entrepreneurs’ perception did not statistically differ in any selected aspects of business environment between the firms operating in service and non-service sectors. In all the cases business support was found insignificant. This paper adds to the existing literature in entrepreneurship by offering a better understanding of the linkage between business sector and business environment aspects.

Both SO2 and PM values were determined to exceed both short term and winter season National standarts between 2003 and 2006 winter seasons. The SO2 and PM values declined from 2003 to 2006, gradually (p
Gangguan Mental Emosional dan Kesepian pada Mahasiswa Baru

In the transition period from high school to college, freshmen have to deal with the new environment, which makes them vulnerable to experience symptoms of mental disorders. The aim of the current study was to examine the role of loneliness as a predictor of symptoms of mental disorders among freshmen. Using a convenience sampling, 151 first-year undergraduate students from one faculty at Universitas Padjadjaran took part in the current study. The respondents completed a self-report questionnaire consisting of WHO Self-Report Questionnaire (SRQ) to assess symptoms of mental disorders and UCLA Loneliness scale to assess loneliness. The result showed that loneliness significantly predicted symptoms of mental disorders among freshmen. Theoretical implications of these empirical findings are discussed, as are practical implications highlighting the suggestions for the university stakeholders to implement an intervention that is effective in tackling freshmen’s mental disorders such as social skill training, increasing social support, and increasing probability of social contact Pada masa transisi dari sekolah menengah atas ke perkuliahan, mahasiswa harus menyesuaikan diri dengan lingkungan barunya.

Long‐term projections of sea‐level rise from ice sheets

Under future climate change scenarios it is virtually certain that global mean sea level will continue to rise. But the rate at which this occurs, and the height and time at which it might stabilize, are uncertain. The largest potential contributors to sea level are the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets, but these may take thousands of years to fully adjust to environmental changes. Modeled projections of how these ice masses will evolve in the future are numerous, but vary both in complexity and projection timescale. Typically, there is greater agreement between models in the present century than over the next millennium. This reflects uncertainty in the physical processes that dominate ice‐sheet change and also feedbacks in the ice–atmosphere–ocean system, and how these might lead to nonlinear behavior. Satellite observations help constrain short‐term projections of ice‐sheet change but these records are still too short to capture the full ice‐sheet response. Conversely, geological records can be used to inform long‐term ice‐sheet simulations but are prone to large uncertainties, meaning that they are often unable to adequately confirm or refute the operation of particular processes. Because of these limitations there is a clear need to more accurately reconstruct sea level changes during periods of the past, to improve the spatial and temporal extent of current ice sheet observations, and to robustly attribute observed changes to driving mechanisms. Improved future projections will require models that capture a more extensive suite of physical processes than are presently incorporated, and which better quantify the associated uncertainties.
The Knowledge Attitude and Behaviorus of Nursery Students about Breast Cancer

: This research was performed in order to determine the knowledge, attitude and behaviours of nursery students about breast cancer. The study was performed between September 2006-November 2006. 100 nursery students of college out of 102 (98,0% participation rate) were included in this study. A questionnaire was used to gather the data. Source of information was newspaper-tv in 47%, medical boks in 32% and internet in 32%. The answer to the question what the most common syptom was in breast cancer was growth in the breast in 54,6%, pain in the breast in 24,1% and nipple retraction in 12,8%. Of the students %63 performed self breast examination (SBE). Of the students who perform SBE 29 (46%) perform it as they remember, 26 (41,3%) perform it once a month and 6 (9,5%) perform it once a week. SBE was learnt from school in 41.3% (26), from a doctor in 22,2% (14), from a nurse/midwife in 20,6% and from medical boks in 9,5% (6). Their answer to the question about the reason not to perform SBE was not having enough information in 51,4%(19), inattention in 24,3%(9), fear of finding a growth in 8,1%(3), not having any complaints about their breasts in 8,1% (3) and thinking that it is not essential in 8,1% (3). Of the students 95% had never had clinical breast examinayion (CBE). The reason not to have CBE was inattention in 53,7% (51), not having enough information in 18,9% (18), and thinking that it is not essential in 8,4% (8).
Role of some rhizospheric Pseudomonas on the growth and physiology of broad bean (Vicia faba) under salt stress conditions

Salt stress affects the development and growth of plants in various ways as a result of its effect on water relationships, photosynthesis, and nutrient absorption by physiological and biochemical processes. Consequently, several researchers have increasingly studied the effect of plant growth promoting bacteria (PGPR) as promoters and enhancers under saline environment. The main goals of this study were to examine the manifested response of the broad bean plant under saline conditions and to evaluate the role of some Pseudomonas isolates in improving plant tolerance to salt stress. Three Pseudomonas strains were isolated (P1 and P7 from a saline soil and P15 from a vineyard soil). These isolates were screened by salinity and used as inoculums in Vicia faba plants (OTONO variety) irrigated with two saline solutions (NaCl; 100 and 150 mM L −1 ) and one without salinity. The results show that salinity decreased the fresh weight, total chlorophyll content, and the Na + /K + ratio, but it increased proline accumulation in inoculated and noninoculated plants. The inoculation of V. faba plants with P1, P7, and P15 strains significantly increased the production of fresh biomass in the presence and absence of salt stress, and positively affected the accumulation of proline and the Na + /K + ratio. The inoculation with bacterial strains increased the total chlorophyll content in plants at all salt treatment levels, especially the P1 strain that showed a significant effect.

Customer functional value creation through a sustainable entrepreneurial orientation approach

Abstract This paper advances a theoretical model to empirically test firms’ behaviour regarding sustainable entrepreneurship, enhancing what researchers have recently proposed at a solely conceptual level; this entails sustainable entrepreneurship being understood as a discipline that reliably allows organizations to successfully respond to sustainable development and market requirements. The authors suggest an integrated approach of dynamic-capabilities, S-D logic and product-service system views, which highlights the managerial predisposition to adopt a strategic position that fosters value in use (instead of regular property value), according to the current school of thoughts engaged with innovation and sustainable development. In this regard, this paper investigates structural influences (direct and indirect) of sustainable entrepreneurial orientation and customer functional value creation in firm performance. Hypotheses are tested using the partial least squares method on a multisectoral sample of 210 companies randomly stratified with proportional allocation. The findings indicate that a sustainable entrepreneurial orientation not only has a positive and direct relationship with firm performance, but also that this relationship improves when it is mediated by customer functional value creation. Further research pathways are provided.
Treatment of Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME) using Membrane Anaerobic System (MAS)

The directly discharged of Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME) into the river causes environmental hazards due to the biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and high Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD). The main issue of the traditional methods for POME treatment is that are not suitable for high suspended solid wastewaters and their gas production is less efficient at a high treatment volume. Therefore, in this study Membrane Anaerobic System (MAS) was used as alternative effective method for treating POME. The result obtained from the six steady states with concentration ranging from 11,048 to 15,700 mg/L mg/L for the MLSS, while the MLVSS recorded a concentration range between 10,540 and 17,600 mg/L. Moreover, the COD removal efficiency and HRT recorded from 94 to 97% and 150 to 10 days, respectively. Also, the coefficient of microorganism yield, decay rate, and the produced methane gas were obtained as 0.52g VSS/g COD, 0.31 day-1 and 0.182 to 0.564 l/g, respectively. Kinetic equations from Monod, Contois, and Chen, & Hashimoto were employed to describe the kinetics of POME treatment at organic loading rates ranging from 0.5 to 13 kg COD/m3/day. POME were characterized using Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, in the regions of 900 to 1740 and 2800 to 3400 cm-1. Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), the obtained result confirmed the potential of Membrane Anaerobic System (MAS) for the efficient treatment of POME effluent.
