Controlling the Chaotic Motions of an Airfoil with a Nonlinear Stiffness Using Closed-Loop Harmonic Parametric Excitation

The purpose of this research is to conduct a preliminary investigation into the possibility of suppressing the flutter and post-flutter (chaotic) responses of a two-dimensional self-excited airfoil with a cubic nonlinear stiffness (in torsion) and linear viscous damping via closed-loop harmonic parametric excitation. It was found that the initial configuration of the proposed control scheme caused the torsional/pitch dynamics to act as a nonlinear energy sink; as a result, it was identified that the mechanisms of vibration suppression are the resonance capture cascade and the short duration or isolated resonance capture. It is the isolated resonance capture that is responsible for the second-order-like damping and full vibration suppression of the aeroelastic system. The unforced and closed-loop system was subjected to random excitation to simulate aerodynamic turbulence. It was found that the random excitation suppresses the phase-coherent chaotic response, and the closed-loop system is susceptible to random excitation.
Exploring the Antecedents of Internal Auditors' Voice in Environmental Issues: Implications from China

The purpose of this article is to explore the antecedents of internal auditors' voice in environmental‐related issues. Using 226 responses from internal auditors and their immediate supervisors from China, we found that internal auditors' perceived organizational environmental orientation and their individual environmental orientation were significantly related to both their promotive and prohibitive voice in environmental issues. Internal auditors' perceived supervisory support for the environment was significantly related to their promotive voice, whereas internal auditors' environmental commitment was significantly related to their prohibitive voice. Moreover, internal auditors' environmental commitment mediated the relationships between the other three antecedents and their prohibitive voice in environmental issues. Our findings provide insights for researchers, practitioners, and regulators.
The Study of Symbolic Interaction of Funeral Tradition on Ethnic Chinese in Lombok

ABSTRAC Article history: Received : 22-08-2020 Reviced : 10-09-2020 Accepted : 28-09-2020 There are various burial cultures in Indonesia, including the Chinese ethnic burial culture. What is interesting in almost all burial cultures is the cultural heritage that has been passed down through generations. The question is how actually the ceremonial Chinese ethnic funeral ritual is, and what the symbols in the ethnic Chinese funeral ritual mean. This research provides an answer solution. This research is a qualitative research. The results of the study concluded that before the funeral ritual is carried out, younger family members pay their respects to the older deceased. During the funeral ritual, the next of kin accompany the vehicle carrying the body to the burial or cremation site, on foot, if the burial place is relatively close, or by vehicle if the burial place is far away. During the funeral, flowers, offerings, food and burnt incense are served. The culture of the Chinese funeral ritual was based on belief as a form of human relations with the creator of life and also as a way to maintain the symbol of family or relatives with the deceased and to bear the sins of the deceased.

Aboveground and belowground biomass and its' allometry for Salsola passerina shrub in degraded steppe desert in Northwestern China

Knowledge of the biomass allometry and partitioning is essential for understanding shrub adaptive strategies to degraded habitats as well as for estimating organic carbon storage. We studied biomass accumulation, allocation patterns, and allometric models of Salsola passerina shrub in the Alxa Desert steppe, Northwestern China. We measured aboveground and belowground biomass accumulation across different ages (0–50 years) by destructive sampling. The biomass allocation patterns between aboveground biomass, leaves, branches, and roots were studied by fitting allometric functions for both pooled and age‐classed data. Allometric biomass models were developed by regressing on single‐input variable of basal diameter, crown area, height, and age alone or on the pairwise variables of above four parameters. Biomass accumulation increased with age, aboveground components represented 86–89% of the total biomass, root to shoot biomass ratios increased with shrub age. Allometry patterns of S. passerina were relatively constant, and the growth rate of root was faster than that of aboveground components. Allometric models with two‐input variables were obviously better than single variable models. Crown area and basal diameter were the best predictors for biomass of S. passerina shrub.
Finite difference method combined with differential quadrature method for numerical computation of the modified equal width wave equation

The aim of this study is to improve the numerical solution of the modified equal width wave equation. For this purpose, finite difference method combined with differential quadrature method with Rubin and Graves linearizing technique has been used. Modified cubic B‐spline base functions are used as base function. By the combination of two numerical methods and effective linearizing technique high accurate numerical algorithm is obtained. Three main test problems are solved for various values of the coefficients. To observe the performance of the present method, the error norms of the single soliton problem which has analytical solution are calculated. Besides these error norms, three invariants are reported. Comparison of the results displays that our algorithm produces superior results than those given in the literature.
SELF CONCEPT OF FEMALE ADOLESCENTS OFFENDERS IN JUVENILE DETENTION CENTERS IN TANGERANG, INDONESIA

As there is an increasing number of female adolescent prisoners and a high rate of recidivism, the knowledge of self-concept is crucial to work as a preventive factor. Therefore, the aim for this research is to investigate the self-concept of female adolescent prisoners. The research was directed in qualitative methodology. The interview procedure was directed with seven participants in two adolescent confinement centres in the city of Tangerang, Indonesia. Researchers found that female juvenile offenders are having negative self-concept from various aspects as they tend to view themselves negatively. Elements that contribute to these conditions include their relationship with significant others, such as guardians and companions, as well as the negative perception from the general public in regards to their status. The sentiment of blame and disgrace towards guardians, and cynicism concerning what's to come are the key factors that further impacted the negative self-concept. A few implications include avoiding the stigmas and labelling towards offenders, as well as increasing female offenders’ well-being. For this study, researchers propose future study to explore the guardian’s viewpoints.
POPULATION GENETIC STRUCTURE OF GREATER CARIBBEAN GREEN TURTLES (Chelonia mydas) BASED ON MITOCHONDRIAL DNA SEQUENCES, WITH AN EMPHASIS ON ROOKERIES FROM SOUTHWESTERN CUBA.

Effective conservation management of sea turtles depends on understanding the demographic interconnections between populations. Beginning with the sequencing of 490 bp from the mitochondrial DNA control region, we characterized genetic variation within and between two green turtle (Chelonia mydas) rookeries in southwestern Cuba [N=28] and assessed these data in a regional context to understand the contribution of each rookery to the genetic structure of the species. In the Cuban rookeries, haplotypes belong to the same lineage (II) and 71% of them are endemic but in low frequency. There was no significant genetic structure among Cuban rookeries. However, when compared with the rest of the Greater Caribbean rookeries, some genetic structuring was revealed (AMOVA), with higher variation within than between rookeries. Genetic differentiation (FST) was positively correlated with geographical distances among rookeries. In the Cuban population, a pattern of sudden expansion was supported by the observed mismatch distribution. However, Fu’s test failed to reject the standard neutral model, probably as a consequence of recent migrations. Using a nested clade phylogeographic analysis, restricted genetic flow and isolation by distance for the clade containing most of the Cuban haplotypes was inferred. Among the totally nested clades, past fragmentation and/or long distance colonization was inferred. From these results, the nesting population of southwestern Cuba, although sharing a historical connection with the regional populations, constitutes a separate demographic unit that should be managed independently.
“Feeling the waste” evidence from consumers’ living in Gaza Strip camps

This paper aims to quantify the impact of antecedents (frustration, locus of control, spirituality, and religion and attention to social-comparison information) on the intensity of emotional outcomes of consumers’ disposal behaviour. ,A structural equation model fitted with PLS was used to evaluate data obtained from 323 self-administered questionnaires filled out in a stratified random sample of respondents living in Gaza Strip camps. ,Spirituality and religion, and attention to social-comparison information have the highest impacts on emotional outcomes related to consumer disposal behaviour. ,Spirituality and religion are seldom considered in previous consumer research, but they turn out to have high relevance for disposal-related emotions. ,To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first study investigating disposal-related emotions. Moreover, it is also the first study combining the impact of frustration, locus of control, perceived self-efficacy, spirituality and religion and attention to social-comparison information on emotional outcomes related to consumers’ disposal behaviour.
Population Dynamics of Brinjal Fruit and Shoot Borer, Leucinodes orbonalis Guen. and Hadda Beetle, Epilachna vigintioctopunctata Fab. on Brinjal at Allahabad Agroclimatic Region

Botanically brinjal is known as Solanum melongena L. (2n=24) popularly known as eggplant belongs to family Solanaceae and India is its center of origin and diversity. Brinjal is one of the most commonly grown vegetable crops of the country. India produces about 7.67 MT of brinjal from an area of 0.47 M ha with an average productivity of 16.30 Mt/ha. The brinjal producing states are Odisha, Bihar, Karnataka, West Bengal, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh. Brinjal has ayurvedic medicinal properties and white brinjal is good for diabetic patients. It is also a source of vitamins A, C and minerals (Source: NCPAH). The brinjal crop is attacked by about 140 species of insect pests (Dwivedi et al., 2014). BSFB, L. orbonalis (Lepidopetra: Pyralidae) is the key pest throughout Asia (Purohit and Khatri, 1973; Kuppuswamy and Balasubramanian, 1980; Allam et al., 2003). In India, this pest has a countrywide distribution and has been categorized as the most destructive and most serious pest causing huge losses in brinjal (Patil, 1990).
Studies on dry root rotRhizoctonia bataticola Taub Butler of ChickpeaCicer arietinum L

Dry root rot caused by Rhizoctonia bataticola (Taub.) Butler [Pycnidial stage: Macrophomina phaseolina (Tassi) Goid] is a soil borne fungal pathogen. Keeping in view the importance of the disease due to change in climatic conditions, studies were conducted on distribution of the disease, cultural, morphological, pathological and molecular diversity. Effect of temperature and moisture on the disease severity was studied. Various biochemical and physiological changes associated with the development of the disease in susceptible and moderately resistant genotypes under glass house conditions were conducted at ICRISAT, Hyderabad. A survey was conducted in January, 2014 rabi cropping season in different chickpea growing locations of central (Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra) and southern (Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and Karnataka) India. Due to diversified weather conditions and variation in sowing dates in different states, different crop growth stages i.e. from seedling (20 days old) to podding stage were observed and the disease was observed in all the stages. The maximum dry root rot incidence was observed in Telangana (18.28%) and the least in Maharashtra (5.38%). Disease occurrence was observed irrespective of cropping system, soil types and cultivars. Mostly the disease incidence was low in the irrigated fields compared to rainfed fields.
EMERGENCE TRAP FOR THE COLLECTION OF EXUVIAE AND ADULT OF ODONATA

Odonates have aquatic larval stages and terrestrial adults. The extreme change in habitat occupation during their life cycle means that combined collection methods, capable of providing data for both larvae and adults, are scarce and are often inefficient. Given this, we applied a method for the collection of specimens of both life phases using emergence traps. During fieldwork, 78 emergence events were recorded for 15 species. We also briefly discuss the emergence pattern of the recorded species. We believe the information obtained here provide an important contribution to the understanding of the ecology and basic biology of Neotropical odonate species, as well as helping to solve the taxonomic problems associated with the identification of larvae.
Diazotrophic cyanobacteria signatures and their relationship to hydrographic conditions in the Gulf of Gabes, Tunisia

Changes in the planktonic cyanobacteria structure, composition and diversity were followed over three consecutive years (2005–2006–2007) in the Gulf of Gabes (Eastern Mediterranean Sea, Tunisia). Cyanobacteria abundances, biomasses and cell lengths were measured together with selected environmental variables (pH, salinity, temperature and nutrients). The space and time variations of the cyanobacteria in relation to the environmental factors showed a close relationship between these plankton communities and the hydrographic structure of the water column. Cyanobacteria developed over semi-mixed conditions (May–June 2006) and during the thermal stratification (July 2005). The cyanobacterial abundance and biomass was evident between 20 and 35 m in inshore stations and between 20 and 25 m in deeper stations during the semi-mixing conditions and stratification. This thermocline level coincided with the euphotic layer (21.85 ± 3.76 m) allowing access of light radiation. The cyanobacteria bloom occurred during May–June 2006 when the N/P ratio (<10) was clearly below the accepted standard molar ratio of N/P = 16/1. Commonalities among cyanobacterial genera include being highly competitive for low concentrations of inorganic P (DIP) and the ability to acquire organic P compounds. Our study showed that both diazotrophic (N2-fixing) cyanobacteria such as Anabaena sp. , Chroococcus sp. , Trichodesmium erythraeum, Spirulina sp. and Spirulina subsalsa and non-diazotrophic cyanobacteria such as Pseudoanabaena sp. and Microcystis display a great flexibility in the N sources which allow formation of blooms.
Corporate Foundations as Partnership Brokers in Supporting the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

Rather than limiting themselves to acting as mere financial intermediaries of corporate philanthropic funds, corporate foundations (CFs) may contribute to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as partnership brokers. Based on the literature on the SDGs, cross-sector partnerships, the influence of the private sector on the SDGs, and institutional philanthropic involvement in the SDGs, this paper shows how the unique characteristics of CFs and their position between the business sector and civil society make them ideal partnership brokers in cross-sector collaborations. Furthermore, this study examines how CFs approach the Agenda 2030 with respect to their activities and strategies. Following an explorative research approach, data were collected through an online survey among CF managers in Switzerland, Liechtenstein, and Germany. The findings suggest that, in order to contribute more effectively to the SDGs, CFs should make more and better use of their capacities in bridging institutional logics, pooling resources, and initiating partnerships between different sectors.
Eliciting Correlated Weights for Multi-Criteria Group Decision Making with Generalized Canonical Correlation Analysis

The proper solution of a multi-criteria group decision making (MCGDM) problem usually involves a series of critical issues that are to be dealt with, among which two are noteworthy, namely how to assign weights to the (possibly distinct) judgment criteria used by the different decision makers (DMs) and how to reach a satisfactory level of agreement between their individual decisions. Here we present a novel methodology to address these issues in an integrated and robust way, referred to as the canonical multi-criteria group decision making (CMCGDM) approach. CMCGDM is based on a generalized version of canonical correlation analysis (GCCA), which is employed for simultaneously computing the criteria weights that are associated with all DMs. Because the elicited weights maximize the linear correlation between all criteria at once, it is expected that the consensus measured between the DMs takes place in a more natural way, not necessitating the creation and combination of separate rankings for the different groups of criteria. CMCGDM also makes use of an extended version of TOPSIS, a multi-criteria technique that considers the symmetry of the distances to the positive and negative ideal solutions. The practical usefulness of the proposed approach is demonstrated through two revisited examples that were taken from the literature as well as other simulated cases. The achieved results reveal that CMCGDM is indeed a promising approach, being more robust to the problem of ranking irregularities than the extended version of TOPSIS when applied without GCCA.
Factors Influencing Career Choices Made by Internal Medicine Residents in Ahvaz, Iran

Little information is available on the factors affecting career choices of residents entering internal medicine (IM) specialty. So, this study was designed to assess the factors attractive for residents in choosing IM as a career choice. This cross-sectional questionnaire-based research was conducted in March 2019 at Ahvaz Jundishapur University of Medical Sciences, Iran. The questionnaire was distributed among all IM residents (75 residents). Responses were rated on a 5-point Likert scale. About 67 out of 75 questionnaires were completed and returned (response rate of 89.3%). The criteria most often mentioned in the favour of choosing IM specialty were “improving knowledge and the treatment modality” (mean score: 4.25), “comprehensiveness of this specialty and the possibility of continuing education (fellowship)” (4.01), “personal interest” (3.89) and a “the need of community and serving people” (3.64). Regarding gender differences, “the need of community and serving people” (p = 0.001) and “high incomes” (p = 0.0001) were significantly more important for the choice of IM specialty by male residents. Our study provides a valuable insight into the factors that influence the career choice among IM residents. The findings from this study also suggest the need for a structured career-orientation programme at the institutional level that would guide the medical students in making their career choices.

On the contribution of groundwater to streamflow in laterite catchments of the Darling Range, south‐western Australia

In deeply weathered laterite catchments of the Darling Range in south‐western Australia, the direct contribution (i.e., discharge) of permanent groundwater to streamflow has long been considered as minor. Instead, downslope shallow throughflow was thought to dominate, generating more than 90% of streamflow. We used a chemical hydrograph separation approach to estimate annual groundwater discharge for three catchments over periods of up to 39 years, and found that direct groundwater contributions to streamflow were far more variable across catchments and through time than has previously been acknowledged. The estimated proportion of annual streamflow sourced directly from groundwater ranged from 0 to 93% and was related linearly to the size of the groundwater discharge area in the catchment valley floor. In contrast, contributions from shallow sources including shallow throughflow varied primarily and linearly with annual rainfall. However, the response to rainfall was “amplified” in a predictable way by the size of the groundwater discharge area, consistent with the variable source area concept. We derived a functional relationship between catchment annual rainfall‐runoff ratio and groundwater discharge area and successfully applied this to a further four catchments, inferring that the results were broadly applicable across the Darling Range. The implications for an improved understanding of streamflow generating processes in the study region, and for laterite catchments generally, are discussed.
Promoting fashion customer relationship management dimensions based on customer tendency to outfit matching: mining customer orientation and buying behaviour

: The purpose of this study is to mining dimensions of customer relationship management (CRM) based on consumer tendency to outfit matching. Consumers are clustered into groups based on descriptive variables, consumer desire to outfit matching and customer relationship dimensions. According to the results of this research, female customers with the age 30 or younger, who have a bachelor degree and are single, are inspired to outfit matching and prefer customer involvement dimensions. Also, long-term partnership is the most significant dimensions of CRM for consumers who do not engage in outfit matching. Then, association rules were applied for extracting customer buying behaviour that influence customer tendency to outfit matching. These results can be useful for the fashion industry to apply more effective CRM systems and customise them with customer’s preferences and behaviour analysis. Compared with traditional techniques, the data mining methods have great potential for investigating customers’ preferences.
