What Underlies the Deficit in Rapid Automatized Naming (RAN) in Adults with Dyslexia? Evidence from Eye Movements

ABSTRACT This eye-tracking study explored how phonological encoding and speech production planning for successive words are coordinated in adult readers with dyslexia (N = 22) and control readers (N = 25) during rapid automatized naming (RAN). Using an object-RAN task, we orthogonally manipulated the word-form frequency and phonological neighborhood density of the object names and assessed the effects on speech and eye movements and their temporal coordination. In both groups, there was a significant interaction between word frequency and neighborhood density: shorter fixations for dense than for sparse neighborhoods were observed for low- but not for high-frequency words. This finding does not suggest a specific difficulty in lexical phonological access in dyslexia. However, in readers with dyslexia only, these lexical effects percolated to the late processing stages, indicated by longer offset eye-speech lags. We close by discussing potential reasons for this finding, including suboptimal specification of phonological representations and deficits in attention control or in multi-item coordination.
The moderating role of CSR in board gender diversity and firm financial performance: empirical evidence from an emerging economy

Abstract The current study aims to investigate the moderating role of corporate social responsibility (CSR) in board gender diversity and firm financial performance. We used the panel data regression (fixed effect) in our analysis to check the moderating role of CSR in the board gender diversity and the firm financial performance. We collected the data of Chinese listed companies from the Shenzhen and Shanghai stock exchanges from the China stock market and accounting research (CSMAR) database. We used a two-stage least square (TSLS) regression model to control the possible problem of endogeneity. Our results show that higher representation of female directors in the board is positively related to firm financial performance and that CSR has a significantly positive effect when moderating the relation between board gender diversity and firm financial performance. Besides, three control variables (board size, board member average age, and Big4) have a positive impact on the firm performance, having the leverage variable a negative impact on the firm performance. Our findings hold for a set of robustness tests. This study has important implications, namely by enriching the existing literature on CSR and by highlighting the importance of board gender diversity, and emphasizing the importance of the reporting of more CSR activities and its impact on the decision-making process.
The Relationships Between the Enzyme Activity of Anthocyanin Biosynthesis,Ethylene Release and Anthocyanin Accumulation in Fruits of Precocious Apple Cultivars

Fruits of precocious red'Taishan Zaoxia'and green'Liaofu'apple cultivars demand for the same growth period before ripening were investigated.The results indicated that:①The content of anthocyanin and the activities of PAL,CHI and UFGT in'Taishan Zaoxia'were higher than those in 'Liaofu'(P 0.05). ②The release of ethylene in both cultivars peaked before harvesting and the rapid accumulation of anthocyanin.The ethylene release of the fruit reduced after the application of 1-MCP,and followed by the significant decrease of the anthocyanin release;The ethylene promoted and affected the accumulation of anthocyanin at the ripening stage of precocious apples. ③The content of anthocyanin was positively correlated with the activities of UFGT in'Taishan Zaoxia'during fruits ripening.The production of ethylene is closely related to the synthesis of anthocyanin by mediating the activity of UFGT.
Effects of Environmental Drivers and Agricultural Management on Soil CO2 and N2O Emissions

Understanding the roles of natural drivers and anthropogenic activities in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of arable fields is crucial for adopting the most appropriate agricultural management. This study investigated the effect of two tillage treatments of mouldboard ploughing (MP) and no-tillage (NT), and the environmental factors (soil water content and temperature, carbon content and nitrogen forms) on soil carbon dioxide (CO2) and nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions. The research was conducted on chernozem soil under winter wheat cultivation. Besides field monitoring, several laboratory experiments took place to examine the effects of environmental drivers and fertilization management on soil GHG emissions. We observed no significant difference between the CO2 emission of MP and NT during a full year period. Nevertheless, significant differences were found in the sub-periods (more particularly during vegetation and then after harvest). NT had higher CO2 emission than MP in all laboratory experiments (p < 0.001) and in the after harvest period of the field trial, measured on bare soil (p < 0.0001). NT had significantly higher N2O emission both under laboratory (p < 0.0001) and field conditions (p < 0.0081). Different fertilization showed no distinguishable effect on N2O emission in the laboratory. This study confirms that N2O emission of the arable field depended more on soil water content than soil temperature, and vice-versa for CO2 emission.
Readiness of Regions for Digitalization of the Construction Complex

The construction industry is high-tech and is one of the key areas for the strategic development of regions in terms of their digitalization. The construction complex provides regions with infrastructure of various levels from design documentation to commissioning, as well as reconstruction and major repairs of buildings. The article adopts an isolated regional approach, which is due to the need to assess specific territories by the level of readiness for digitalization of the construction complex. The purpose of the research is to determine the level of readiness of Russian regions for the digitalization of the construction complex by forming a rating of regions according to the indicator “the level of readiness of the region for digitalization of the construction complex”. To build the rating, the fuzzy sets method was applied using a triangular membership function, which allows to describe the influence of various processes on the formation of digitalization processes in the construction complex of the region. When forming the rating, a scale of fuzzy variable values is set which allows one to classify regions by levels, namely very low, low, medium, high, and very high. The generated rating is illustrated according to the specified scale. Based on the rating, the leading regions and outsider regions are identified by the formed indicator. It was determined that Moscow and Saint Petersburg are highly prepared for the digitalization of their construction complexes, and 53 regions of Russia are potentially prepared. In the future, it will be possible to create a rating of Russian regions on the level of readiness for digitalization of the construction complex with a two-year lag. Then, using the DEA shell analysis method, a quantitative assessment will be carried out that allows you to form performance boundaries and, against the background of four years, adjust the data to identify the most realistic picture. Also, the rating methodology considered by the authors allows us to scale this research to the international level, which will allow us to assess the level of digital development of construction complexes in other countries. The proposed rating algorithm is suitable for other sectors and complexes of the economy. It is enough to determine the main aggregate indicator and select groups of factors.
The Impact of Noninterest Income on the Profitability of Commercial Banks in VietNam: Evidence of Non-Linear Relationship

This paper uses the Generalized Method Of Moments (GMM) to analyze the impact of noninterest income on the profitability of 28 Vietnamese commercial banks in the period from 2010 to 2018. At the same time, the Threshold Regression Model is applied on a panel data to evaluate whether or not there is a non-linear relationship between the noninterest income ratio and bank’s profitability. The results have shown that the optimal diversification benefit can be attained by reaching a certain level of non-interest income proportion. The findings of the study are: (1) The existence of two thresholds shows that there is non-linear relationship, confirming the non-linear relationship between the noninterest income ratio (NII) and profitability (ROA); (2) The noninterest income ratio impacts negatively on profitability (ROA) when NII (≤44.16% and ≥ 46.62%), when the noninterest income ratio is between 44.16% and 46.12% the relationship is positive. The noninterest income ratio ranging from 44.16% to 46.62% is called optimal when this ratio is in a positive correlation with profitability, which means that Vietnamese commercial banks can try to increase their profits by increasing NII and maintaining that level to get exploiting their maximum level of diversification from noncredit income.
Systemic Risk in Global Agricultural Markets and Trade Liberalization under Climate Change: Synchronized Crop-Yield Change and Agricultural Price Volatility

Climate change will increase simultaneous crop failures or too abundant harvests, creating global synchronized yield change (SYC), and may decrease stability in the portfolio of food supply sources in agricultural trade. This study evaluated the influence of SYC on the global agricultural market and trade liberalization. The analysis employed a global computable general equilibrium model combined with crop models of four major grains (i.e., rice, wheat, maize, and soybeans), based on predictions of five global climate models. Simulation results show that (1) the SYC structure was statistically robust among countries and four crops, and will be enhanced by climate change, (2) such synchronicity increased the agricultural price volatility and lowered social welfare levels more than expected in the random disturbance (non-SYC) case, and (3) trade liberalization benefited both food-importing and exporting regions, but such effects were degraded by SYC. These outcomes were due to synchronicity in crop-yield change and its ranges enhanced by future climate change. Thus, SYC is a cause of systemic risk to food security and must be considered in designing agricultural trade policies and insurance systems.
Determination of Potential Runoff Coefficient using Geographic Information System for a Small Basin in Balakayety Watershade, Kurdistan Region of Iraq

Runoff coefficient is an index for losses in rainfall required in most hydrological models and water resources projects. Generally, in the Balakayety water shade in Kurdistan region of Iraq, no runoff data are available as almost basins are ungagged. The Geographic Information System (GIS) techniques and available data for a small basin in Balakayety watershed within the Erbil governorate (Kurdistan Region of Iraq) were used to estimate the coefficient of potential runoff coefficient (PRC). The estimated PRC will be then used to calculate the depth of runoff. The Satellite Imagery (Landsat 7 ETM+) for 2015 was procured to create land cover classes, the classifications accuracy equal to 88.4%, and the Kappa index is 83.7%. The slope map developed from the digital elevation model with 30 m resolution. The area’s hydrologic soil map is digitized from the Iraqi soil map. The inverse distance weighting method was used to interpolate the rainfall of the study area into the Arc GIS. It was found that the most study area covered by moderate to high (PRC) values ranged from 55% to 83%, and runoff depth values vary from 398.1 mm to 610.3 mm. The present study indicates that the integration of all obtained thematic maps into GIS provides a powerful tool for calculating the runoff coefficient for catchments lacks streamflow data which can result in flood/drought predictions that will be not accurate. These findings are helpful in identifying flood areas, selecting proper sites for water harvesting, and enhancing water resources management programs.
Job Embeddedness: a Strategy to Reduce Voluntary Turnover Intention

This study examines the relationship between Job Embeddedness and Job Insecurity to voluntary turnover intention and job performance. The sample of this study were 209 respondents from permanent or contract employees who worked as secretaries, clerical or administrative personnel in government or private offices in Central Java, Indonesia. This study used Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) for hypothesis testing. Result of this job insecurity cannot be used to predict voluntary turnover intention or job performance. Job embeddedness is divided into three types, namely job embeddedness link, job embeddedness fit, and job embeddedness sacrifice. Job Embeddedness link and Job Embeddedness fit have no effect on voluntary turnover intention, but they can be used to predict job performance. In contrast, Job embeddedness sacrifice has an effect on voluntary turnover intention but cannot be used to predict job performance. Voluntary turnover intention proved able to be used to predict job performance.
Global governance through peer review: the Dutch experience of OECD reviews of National Policies for Education

ABSTRACT This paper seeks to better understand the influence of international organizations within the national policy domain by examining the OECD’s use of peer reviews. Focusing on one such review in the Netherlands, it asks: why are these reviews commissioned, who is involved, how are ideas about educational governance promoted, and how do they impact national policy. Data comes from interviews with OECD and ministry of education members who were central to the review process. Findings show that policy influence is exercised through subtle mechanisms including socialization, networking and negotiation. Both parties sought to benefit from the review, particularly from the OECD’s perceived reputation as an ‘external expert,’ able to redirect politicized issues into more technical channels. Further, the Netherlands’ status as a ‘good student’ and the partially restricted voice of the OECD in the Dutch context appear significant factors impacting the nature of the review process and national policy outcomes.
Water Dissolution of Nitrogen Oxides Produced by Ozone Oxidation of Nitric Oxide

ABSTRACT The study investigated the reactive dissolution of gas phase nitrogen-oxides and ozone in water. Mixtures with variable composition of nitrogen oxides were produced by mixing nitric oxide (NO) with ozone. Pure NO in Ar carrier gas resulted in the production of NO2 − but its production rate was limited by low NO solubility. The presence of NO2 in the gas increased the production of NO2 − while NO3 − was also produced. The presence of N2O5 in the gas abruptly increased the production of NO3 − due to higher solubility of N2O5. In the present configuration, about 8% of NO2 was dissolved in the water while for N2O5 the fraction was 78%.
Stakeholder collaboration to build peace through public interest relations (PIR) (Study on the commemoration of Suran Agung conflict in Madiun)

Madiun Regency is one area that has a lot of active silat colleges, there are 14 (fourteen) silat colleges, mostly based in Madiun. In the dynamics of Madiun pencak silat development, there is Suran Agung tradition as a form of local wisdom in every pencak silat college at the suro month. The activity involved mass mobilization, the escalation of conflict between members of the martial arts college and communities also increased. The history of the conflict began when there was fanaticism of teachings from the Ki Ngabei Soerodiwiryo students. Conflicts that occurred in the Suran Agung involved between groups of fighters and community which often caused material losses such as throwing stones, destruction of public facilities also lead to violence resulting in casualties. Qualitative research here to analyze the efforts of the District Government of Madiun in preventing conflict that is an issue for the public, the Public Interest Relations (PIR) approach to the practice of Suran Agung in Madiun focuses on stakeholder collaboration in peace efforts. The result of PIR practice is the emergence of a new identity for Kampung Pesilat Indonesia as a milestone for peace in social change to realize the vision and mission of regional head.
ANTIOXIDANT ACTIVITY AND DRUG PROFILE OF SEVERAL THIOUREA DERIVATIVES OF 2-THIOPHENE CARBOXYLIC ACID

Oxidative stress plays an important role in the development of several diseases (cancer, stroke, diabetes etc.). Therefore, the discovery of new compounds with antioxidant activity and a safe pharmacological profile has become an area of great interest. The aim of our study was the evaluation of antioxidant capacity and drug profile of several 2-thiophene carboxylic acid thiourea derivatives. The antioxidant activity was determined by means of scavenger activity towards 2,2-diphenyl-1picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), 2,2-azinobis-(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) free radicals and ferric reducing power assay. The pharmacological profile of the analysed compounds was evaluated by in silico protocols (bioavailability, pharmacokinetics etc.). The electronic and steric molecular descriptors of the thiourea derivatives have been also determined. According to our results, all compounds showed antioxidant activity. For the most part, in silico studies revealed a safe pharmacological profile for the analysed compounds.
“WHAT’S FOREIGN IS BETTER”: A FUZZY AHP ANALYSIS TO EVALUATE FACTORS THAT INFLUENCE FOREIGN PRODUCT CHOICE AMONG INDIAN CONSUMERS

Emerging economies across the globe have observed drastic changes in consumer purchasing behavior in the last three decades. This has been attributed to rapid globalization, coupled with technological advancement that has led to consumer affinity towards foreign brands. In this paper an attempt has been made to understand this affinity towards foreign brands across product categories. We used the Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process to evaluate the factors that influence foreign product purchasing behavior among Indian consumers. A set of five important influencing factors were identified and responses from over 100 Indian consumers were collected across five product categories (automobiles, home appliances, apparel, cosmetics and watches). It was found that for apparel, watches and cosmetics, perceived quality of the brand/product was the most valued attribute. Whereas, for home appliances the country of origin mattered the most, and for watches perceived quality as well as country of manufacture were equally important. The findings of this study will help shape marketing strategies for foreign brands trying to make inroads or gain market share in emerging markets like India
Working Conditions and Career Aspirations of Waste Pickers in Lagos State

In many cities of third world countries, managing waste represents a beehive of activities that involve human scavengers searching for reusable or recyclable items that are either consumed or sold to generate funds for personal and family upkeep, since alternative decent employment are not available for them in the formal employment sector. Many of these waste pickers are young, work without the necessary health and safety apparatus, and expose themselves to injury and various health hazards. Therefore, this study investigated the working conditions and career aspirations of waste pickers in Lagos State, Nigeria. Using the questionnaire approach, structured, semi-structured, and open-ended questions were asked, and the Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) was used to descriptively analyze the data collected and interpreted. The results showed that 87% of waste pickers in Lagos State have safety kits. In addition, the results showed flexibility in working hours and days since most waste pickers get to determine when and how they begin their work, i.e., 89% of the waste pickers spend 5 to 6 days a week in waste picking while 64% of them work between 10 and 14 h daily. Regarding earnings, the results showed that 68.3% of waste pickers earn between ₦2500 ($8.2) to ₦4900 ($16) daily. Finally, the results showed that despite access to safety kits, most waste pickers (54%) had experienced one form or another of hazard which has affected their career aspiration. Therefore, based on the study results we recommend that the Lagos State and the Nigerian federal government should develop a system that ensures strict compliance to established rules or guidelines that ensures the safety and health of waste pickers on the job.
Reenergizing Through Angel Customers: Cross-Cultural Validation of Customer-Driven Employee Citizenship Behavior

This study proposes and examines the role server-friendly customers play in the customer-employee exchange stage of service encounters, and how customer-employee exchange relates to employee organizational citizenship behaviors toward customers, colleagues, and hotel organizations. To further explain how service employees could reenergize through the psychological resources gained from server-friendly customers at the point of customer-employee exchange, conservation of resources theory was applied. Hotel employees in the United States and China were sampled to jointly examine our proposed model. Findings of this study contribute valuable theoretical implications by emphasizing the role of customer-employee exchange in the formation of employee citizenship behaviors, as well as practical implications with regard to mentoring employees, thus strategically reenergizing psychological resources and obtaining tacit knowledge of citizenship behavior and its practice.
