The risks of online dating: an explorative study of the perceived risks of Tinder use

The world in the 21 century is becoming more fast-paced and increasingly digitized. This digitalization can be understood as a separate plane of existence, an extension to the physical world, where almost all its aspects are reflected and transformed. Romance is no exception, with online dating fast becoming a standard way of meeting new people and engaging in romantic relations and Tinder being its prime example, as it is the first mobile dating application, as opposed to a dating website. Yet, despite the growing number of Tinder users, stigma still persists with non-users continually appraising online dating as something outlandish or even dangerous. Objectively, Tinder interactions are not without risks, however traditional dating is not exempt of risks either. The risks associated with Tinder have only vaguely been academically explored, unsurprisingly so as literature on the topic of Tinder is presently limited. This presents researchers with the opportunity to expand upon the possible knowledge and to contribute to the understanding of this phenomenon. In order to fulfil this need for more in-depth investigations, this study set an objective of measuring the effect gender and sexual orientation have on the risk perception of Tinder risks. Thus, by employing a quantitative approach, an experiment was conducted with a sample of 126 participants, all of which had shared their experiences with the mobile application through an anonymous online survey. The data obtained was used to conduct a set of tests to determine the predictive power of gender and sexual orientation. The findings did not discern gender and sexual orientation as the most significant predictors of risk perception, with three out of the four hypotheses tested within the study being rejected. A significant link was only found between gender and risk perception of inappropriate interactions (overtly sexual messages, unwanted advances, and aggression). These findings contribute to the understanding of risk as an individual-centric and complex topic, one deserving further exploration. Additionally, the results prompt reflection on whether gender and sexual orientation truly do play such an integral role in human perception and behavior, a topic that deserves more extensive exploration both within and without online dating.
DEGREE PROJECT, IN REAL ESTATE AND CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION PROJECT MANAGEMENT MASTER OF SCIENCE, 30 CREDITS, SECOND LEVEL

This thesis makes a contribution to the trust literature by analysing and pinpointing specific actions and behaviours that are seen as negative or positive to the building of trust in the construction industry in Sweden today. The thesis therefore aims to look at trust from different perspectives – developer, contractor, consultant and subcontractors in the Swedish construction industry. Specifically, it examines the different notations and definitions of trust from the literature along with a qualitative study aiming at understanding the underlying factors and principles for creating trust. The qualitative data was collected through interviews with seven people. The results show that trust is considered important in all projects and is a prerequisite for a good project. However, there is a lack of trust in the construction industry today, but with a shift of generation and a forthcoming digitisation, a positive trend might be pending. Partnering and other forms of collaboration are seen as facilitating for trust building processes – if implemented in a proper manner. However, partnering is rarely implemented in such a way, why those processes many times fail in ending up in trust. Further, it has been concluded that trust is highly affected in a negative way by changes in standard contracts such as AB/ABT, whereupon such changes should be avoided. Trust is seen as strongly connected with building long-term relationships where opportunism is avoided and future profits rather are given priority. Lastly, trust helps to keep focus on the important things in a project, making the way for a better product in the end. It is also seen as a factor for creating a better work environment and an attractive industry. The study has identified that the major factors affecting trust in the Swedish construction industry are: changes from the standard contracts (AB/ABT), different collaboration forms and the execution of these (mainly partnering), the digitisation and coming generational change, the focus on cheap constructions and a lack of long-term relationships.
SLP: A Novel way of Telugu Linguistics Processing using Semantic Web Technologies

: Current Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques provide support for part of speech (PoS) tagging through various open source tools like Word Net 2.0 and also programmed web applications support through APIs and Analyzers. With benefits and liabilities from these works, the work can be extended towards using Semantic Web (Web 3.0) technologies as the traditional linguistic processing tasks can be mapped to web 3.0 technologies leading to efficient information retrieval by first annotating the Telugu words with the help of “AnnCorra” PoS tagging. RDF is developed through “Relationship” vocabulary and mapping the obtained PoS tags with Penn RDF/OWL vocabulary so that the machine can now understand the Telugu specific entities (resources) over the web. SPARQL queries can be posed to retrieve the relationships. The obtained relationships are correct as these are understood by the machine.
17 b -estradiol induces vasorelaxation by stimulating endothelial hydrogen sulﬁde release

: Estrogenexertsvascularprotectiveeffects,buttheunderlyingmechanismsremaintobeunderstoodfully.Inrecentyears,hydro-gensulﬁde(H 2 S)hasincreasinglybeenrecognizedasanimportantsignalingmoleculeinthecardiovascularsystem.VascularH 2 Sisproducedfrom L-cysteine, catalyzed by cystathionine g -lyase (CSE). In our study, apolipoprotein E (ApoE)-deﬁcient mice were ovariectomized and implanted withplacebo(OVXmice)or17 b -estradiol(E 2 )pellets(OVX + E 2 mice). ComparedwithOVXmice,OVX + E 2 miceshowedincreasedplasma H 2 S levels ( P ¼ 0.012) and decreased aortic lesion area ( P ¼ 0.028). These effects were largely reversed when supplementing with the irreversible CSE inhibitor DL-propargylglycine (PPG) in the OVX + E 2 + PPG mice. Meanwhile, the nitric oxide and prostacyclin-resistant responses to cumulative application of acetylcholine (ACh) were studied among all the three groups of femoral arteries. Compared with the arteries in the OVX group, the vasodilator sensitivity of arteries to ACh was increased in the OVX + E 2 group and attenuated in the OVX + E 2 + PPG group. E 2 and estrogen receptor (ER) a agonist 4 ′ ,4 ′′ ,4 ′′′ -(4-propyl-[1H]-pyrazole-1,3,5-triyl) trisphenol rapidly increased H 2 S release in human endothelial cells, but not partially selective ER b agonist 2,3-bis-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-propionitrile. These effects were inhibited by ER antagonist ICI 182780 or by protein kinase G (PKG) inhibitor KT5823. Furthermore, endothelial PKG activity was increased by E 2 ( P ¼ 0.003) and E 2 induced vasodilation was inhibited by KT5823 ( P ¼ 0.009). In conclusion, the endothelial CSE/H 2 S pathway is activated by E 2 through PKG, which leads to vasodilation. These actions may be relevant to estrogen’s anti-atherogenic effect.
metabolites Novel Ubiquitin Speciﬁc Protease-13 Inhibitors Alleviate Neurodegenerative Pathology

: Ubiquitin Speciﬁc Protease-13 (USP13) promotes protein de-ubiquitination and is poorly understood in neurodegeneration. USP13 is upregulated in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and Parkinson’s disease (PD), and USP13 knockdown via shRNA reduces neurotoxic proteins and increases proteasome activity in models of neurodegeneration. We synthesized novel analogues of spautin-1 which is a non-speciﬁc USP13 inhibitor but unable to penetrate the brain. Our synthesized small molecule compounds are able to enter the brain, more potently inhibit USP13, and signiﬁcantly reduce alpha-synuclein levels in vivo and in vitro. USP13 inhibition in transgenic mutant alpha-synuclein (A53T) mice increased the ubiquitination of alpha-synuclein and reduced its protein levels. The data suggest that novel USP13 inhibitors improve neurodegenerative pathology via antagonism of de-ubiquitination, thus alleviating neurotoxic protein burden in neurodegenerative diseases.
Design optimization of savonius and wells turbines

Research and development activities in the field of renewable energy have been considerably increased in many countries recently, due to the worldwide energy crisis. Wind energy is becoming particularly important. Although considerable progress have already been achieved, the available technical design is not yet adequate to develop reliable wind energy converters for conditions corresponding to low wind speeds and urban areas. The Savonius turbine appears to be particularly promising for such conditions, but suffers from a poor efficiency. The present study considers improved designs in order to increase the output power of a classical Savonius turbine. It aims at improving the output power of the Savonius turbine as well as its static torque, which measures the self-starting capability of the turbine. In order to achieve both objectives, many designs have been investigated and optimized by placing in an optimal manner an obstacle plate shielding the returning blade. The geometry of the blade shape (skeleton line) has been optimized in presence of the obstacle plate. Finally, frontal guiding plates have been considered and lead to a superior performance of Savonius turbines. The optimization process is realized by coupling an in-house optimization library (OPAL, relying in the present case on Evolutionary Algorithms) with an industrial flow simulation code (ANSYS-Fluent). The target function is the output power coefficient. Compared to a standard Savonius turbine, a relative increase of the power output coefficient by 58% is finally obtained at design point. The performance increases throughout the useful operating range. The static torque is found to be positive at any angle, high enough to obtain self-starting conditions. Considering now ocean’s and sea’s energy, the Wells turbine is one of the technical systems allowing an efficient use of the power contained in waves with a relatively low investment level. It consists of a self-rectifying air flow turbine employed to convert the pneumatic power of the air stream induced by an Oscillating Water Column into mechanical energy. On the other hand, standard Wells turbines show several well-known disadvantages: a low tangential force, leading to a low power output from the turbine; a high undesired axial force; usually a low aerodynamic efficiency and a limited range of operation due to stall. In the present work an optimization process is employed in order to increase the tangential force induced by a monoplane and two-stage Wells turbine using symmetric airfoil blades as well as by a two-stage Wells turbine using non-symmetric airfoil blades. The automatic optimization procedure in this part of the work is again carried out by coupling the in-house optimization library OPAL with

University of Birmingham Regenerative surgical treatment of furcation defects

Aims: To investigate the clinical performance of regenerative periodontal surgery in the treatment of furcation defects versus open flap debridement (OFD) and to compare different regenerative modalities. Material and Methods: A systematic search was conducted to identify RCTs evaluating regenerative surgical treatment of furcations with a minimum of 12-month fol-low-up. Three authors independently reviewed, selected and extracted data from the search conducted and assessed risk of bias. Primary outcomes were tooth loss, furcation improvement (closure/conversion) (FImp), gain of horizontal bone level (HBL) and attachment level (HCAL). Secondary outcomes were gain in vertical attachment level (VCAL), probing pocket depth (PPD) reduction, PROMs and adverse events. Data were summarized into Bayesian standard and network meta-analysis in order to es-timate direct and indirect treatment effects and to establish a ranking of treatments. Results: The search identified 19 articles, reporting on 20 RCTs (19 on class II, 1 on class III furcations) with a total of 575 patients/787 defects. Tooth loss was not reported. Furcation closure ranged between 0% and 60% (10 trials), and class I conversion from 29% to 100% (six trials). Regenerative techniques were superior to OFD for FImp (OR = 20.9; 90% CrI = 5.81, 69.41), HCAL gain (1.6 mm), VCAL gain (1.3 mm) and PPD reduction (1.3 mm). Bone replacement grafts (BRG) resulted in the highest probability (Pr = 61%) of being the best treatment for HBL gain. Non-resorbable membranes + BRG ranked as the best treatment for VCAL gain (Pr = 75%) and PPD reduction (Pr = 56%). Conclusions: Regenerative surgery of class II furcations is superior to OFD. FImp (furcation closure or class I conversion) can be expected for the majority of defects. Treatment modalities involving BRG are associated with higher performance.
ON THE ASYMPTOTIC BEHAVIOR OF A LOG GAS IN THE BULK SCALING IN THE PRESENCE A VARYING EXTERNAL POTENTIAL

We study the determinant det( I − γK s ) , 0 < γ < 1, of the integrable Fredholm operator K s acting on the interval ( − 1 , 1) with kernel K s ( λ,µ ) = sin s ( λ − µ ) π ( λ − µ ) . This determinant arises in the analysis of a log-gas of interacting particles in the bulk-scaling limit, at inverse temperature β = 2, in the presence of an external potential v = − 12 ln(1 − γ ) supported on an interval of length 2 sπ . We evaluate, in particular, the double scaling limit of det( I − γK s ) as s → ∞ and γ ↑ 1, in the region 0 ≤ κ = vs = − 12 s ln(1 − γ ) ≤ 1 − δ , for any ﬁxed 0 < δ < 1. This problem was ﬁrst considered by Dyson in [19].
Frame Innovation: Create New Thinking by Design

When organizations apply old methods of problem-solving to new kinds of problems, they may accomplish only temporary fixes or some ineffectual tinkering around the edges. Today's problems are a new breed -- open, complex, dynamic, and networked -- and require a radically different response. In this book, Kees Dorst describes a new, innovation-centered approach to problem-solving in organizations: frame creation. It applies "design thinking," but it goes beyond the borrowed tricks and techniques that usually characterize that term. Frame creation focuses not on the generation of solutions but on the ability to create new approaches to the problem situation itself.The strategies Dorst presents are drawn from the unique, sophisticated, multilayered practices of top designers, and from insights that have emerged from fifty years of design research. Dorst describes the nine steps of the frame creation process and illustrates their application to real-world problems with a series of varied case studies. He maps innovative solutions that include rethinking a store layout so retail spaces encourage purchasing rather than stealing, applying the frame of a music festival to understand late-night problems of crime and congestion in a club district, and creative ways to attract young employees to a temporary staffing agency. Dorst provides tools and methods for implementing frame creation, offering not so much a how-to manual as a do-it-yourself handbook -- a guide that will help practitioners develop their own approaches to problem-solving and creating innovation.
Full Length Research Analysis of the Socio-Economic Characteristics of Agricultural Credit Guarantee Scheme (ACGS) Credit Beneficiaries in Bauchi State, Nigeria

The study analyzed the socioeconomic characteristics of beneficiaries of credit under the Agricultural credit guarantee scheme in Bauchi State, Nigeria. Four hundred and five (405) respondents were drawn from the 3 zones of the Bauchi State Agricultural Development Programme for this study. Both primary and secondary sources of data were used and duly acknowledged. Results of the study showed that majority (73.8%) of the Agricultural credit guarantee scheme loan beneficiaries were males and Married (76.5%), Age range of 36-55 years with a mean of 45.8. Household size of 1-8 persons per family (77.8%), acquired secondary school level of education (19.5%), post-secondary education (11.6%), primary education (31.1%), and Qur’anic education (37.7%). Majority (78.1%) have a farm size of 1-2 hectares, with a farming experience of 1- 9 years (92.6%). Farming was their Primary occupation (80.7%). The Majority were crop farmers (74.0%), livestock farmers (14.3%) while (11.7%) practice both crops and livestock production. The result further revealed that (84.6%) were members of farmer’s organizations. Major sources of information on Agricultural credit guarantee scheme loan were Radio/TV programme (30.8%), BSADP-Extension workers (32.1%), CBN /Other banks (17.3%). Major constraints identified in the study were, delay in disbursement of loan (40.7%) low access to information (22.3%), lack of collateral security (19.7%) and also administrative / interest charges accounted for (17.3%). It is therefore recommended that Central Bank of Nigeria and the Bauchi State Agricultural Development Program should increase the awareness level of the loan to farmers. Disbursement should be timely and use of surety should be adopted instead of collateral security like land and buildings. More banks should participate in the scheme to cover more farmers in the state.
Two Non-Parametric Tests For Change-Point Problems. IDOPT Project: It is a joint project of CNRS, INRIA, UJF and INPG

Two non-parametric tests for existence of change-points in a regression function are introduced. The first test is based on the jump estimate of the regression function at a known point , whereas the second one, named local test in the text, is based on the rescaled process of local variation in the neighborhood of . This process is proved to be asymptotically gaussian. We derive the asymptotic distributions for the test statistics under the null hypothesis and show that their power under local alternatives tends to unity. Numerical experiments are provided to give evidence for performances of these tests.
Molecular Detection of Bartonella in Lions, Zimbabwe

Domestic cats around the world are commonly infected with Bartonella and there is growing evidence that wild felids can also be infected. To provide further data on Bartonella infections in African lions (Panthera leo). We used PCR and sequencing of the 16S rRNA to detect Bartonella in whole blood DNA samples from a convenience sample of 84 lions. Four out of 84 (5%) lions were positive by PCR. The 305-bp sequence of the amplicons was identical in all four lions and had highest similarity to the recognized species Bartonella grahamii (304/305 matches) and Bartonella henselae (303/305 matches). It was identical to unidentified strains of Bartonella from mice in the US, and voles in Lapland and Alaska. Our Zimbabwe data adds to that available from South Africa to show infections with Bartonella are not uncommon in lions in Southern Africa and perhaps the continent. The range of Bartonella species that infect lions and their effects on the animals’ health remains to be determined.
The evolution of the dark halo spin parameters λ and λ (cid:2) in a Λ CDM universe: the role of minor and major mergers

The evolution of the spin parameter of dark haloes and the dependence on the halo merging history in a set of dissipationless cosmological (cid:3) cold dark matter simulations are investigated. Special focus is placed on the differences of the two commonly used versions of the spin parameter, namely λ = JE 1 / 2 G − 1 M − 5 / 2 and λ (cid:2) = J / ( √ 2 M vir R vir V vir ). Though the distribution of the spin transfer rate T ( (cid:2) ) λ = : λ ( (cid:2) )ﬁn /λ ( (cid:2) ) init (which is the ratio of spin parameters after and prior to merger)issimilartoahighdegreeforboth λ and λ (cid:2) ,weﬁndconsiderabledifferencesinthetime-evolution, while λ (cid:2) is roughly independent of redshift, λ turns out to increase signiﬁcantly with decreasing redshift. This distinct behaviour arises from small differences in the spin transfer distribution of accreted material. The evolution of the spin parameter is strongly coupled with the virial ratio η = : 2 E kin / | E pot | of dark haloes. Major mergers (MMs) disturb haloes and increase their both virial ratio η and spin parameter λ ( (cid:2) ) for 1–2 Gyr. At high redshifts z = 2–3, many haloes are disturbed with an average virial ratio of η ≈ 1 . 3 which approaches unity until z = 0. We ﬁnd that the redshift evolution of the spin parameters is dominated by the huge number of minor mergers rather than the rare MM events.
OF THE FULLPIERS MODEL FOR PREDICTING ADVERSE MATERNAL OUTCOMES IN PREGNANCY HYPERTENSION IN LOW-AND-MIDDLE-INCOME COUNTRIES

The hypertensive disorders of pregnancy are leading causes of maternal mortality and morbidity, especially in low-and-middle-income countries. Early identification of women with pre-eclampsia and other HDP at high risk of complications will aid in reducing this health burden. The fullPIERS model was developed for predicting adverse maternal outcomes from pre-eclampsia using data from tertiary centres in high-income countries and uses maternal demographics, signs, symptoms, and laboratory tests as predictors. We aimed to assess the validity of the fullPIERS model in women with the hypertensive disorders of pregnancy in low-resourced hospital settings. Using miniPIERS data collected on women admitted with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy between July 2008 and March 2012 in seven hospitals in five low-and-middle-income countries, the predicted probability of developing an adverse maternal outcome was calculated for each woman using the fullPIERS equation. Missing predictor values were imputed using multivariate imputation by chained equations. The performance of the model was evaluated for discrimination, calibration, and stratification capacity. tool ≥ 30% fullPIERS model used in setting identify women disorders
