The influence of previous sport experiences in transfer of behaviour patterns among team sports

The present study aimed to examine how players’ positional data can be used to assess the transfer of behaviour patterns among team sports (basketball, football and rugby) in early specialized and diversified sport careers. Thirty-four college students were divided into early specialization and early diversification groups, according to information provided by a questionnaire designed to obtain detailed information about their sports career. In-game derived variables were calculated based on players’ positioning data, collected by GPS and processed with non-linear techniques (approximate entropy). For each positional variable (distance to both team and opponent team centroid and distance to target and opponent target) a top-10 ranking was computed based on approximate entropy values in basketball, football and rugby game performance. The results suggested that students belonging to the early diversification group are over-represented (top-10) in all positional variables regardless of sport. This trend, especially in football and rugby, confirms that it is possible that transfer of behavior patterns occurs more significantly in early diversified approach.
Serious Games in Entrepreneurship Education

One of the main strategies for fostering the entrepreneurial mindset in students has been the development of training activities inside and outside classrooms using serious games. The chapter makes a brief description regarding five serious games initiatives that intend to promote and facilitate entrepreneurship education for different educational stages. Furthermore, the authors discuss the key benefits and challenges by the introduction of serious games in the learning process. The authors concluded by identifying that serious games have the potentiality of improving the learning process by providing an immersive experience for students that increases their motivation and potentiates the acquisition of multidisciplinary competencies. However, there are some challenges that should be properly considered and mitigated, namely in terms of assessing learning goals, integration with didactical systems, and support for different styles of learning.
A comparative Study And Evaluation of Improved MAF- PLL Algorithms

The Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) is a synchronization system widely utilized nowadays with the aim to achieve the correct operation of grid-tie PWM converters. The PLL based on Moving-Average-Filters (MAF-PLL) have recently received considerable attention thanks to their superiority over conventional methods in the case of severe grid disturbances. This paper provides an overview of recent improved MAF-PLL algorithms. A comparative study of the performance of four algorithms is also carried out through experimental tests performed for several types of grid faults. The results clearly show that the performance of each method is widely dependent on the grid fault type.
Effects of The Application of Information Technology to Art Education Therapy on University Students’ Self-Concept and Peer Relationship

The development of information facilitates people’s life and impacts and influences traditional teaching methods. Information technology integrated into modern teaching and scientific concept learning therefore plays a critical role. The advance and development of economy and technology have the society tend to diversity. Under such a situation, university students encounter the impact of diverse value. Students with low self-concept and alienated peer relationship urgently require proper guidance for the effective improvement. Art education therapy stresses on art teachers paying attention to students’ individual difference and identifying the characteristics of students’ emotional disturbance and anomalous behavior for effective referral. Total 98 university students in two classes of LuXun Academy of Fine Arts in Shenyang City, Liaoning Province, as the research objects, are proceeded 16-week (3hr per week for total 48 hours) art education therapy with information technology. The research results show significant correlations between 1. art education therapy and self-concept, 2. art education therapy and peer relationship, and 3. self-concept and peer relationship. Finally, suggestions are proposed according to the results, expecting the intelligent instruction of school education to really inspire university students’ personality growth to achieve the goal of holistic education.
“A TEMPORARY SOLUTION TO A PERMANENT PROBLEM ”- how to care for individuals with self-destructive behaviors in open-care.

The aim of this thesis was to gain a profound understanding about self-destructive behaviors and the risk factors that may precede them and it also aims at finding useful models to care for individuals with self-destructive behaviors. The methods in this study are systematic literature review and content analysis following Elo & Kyngäs (2007). Based on the theoretical background and research question, four themes emerged: understanding self-destructive behaviors, risk factors, possible effect of the self-injury and a care and treatment model. A theoretical model of self-injury of Nock (2010) and Morse’s (2001) theory of suffering was used as the theoretical background and foundation for the study. The findings of this study outlined self-destructive behaviors as a set of abnormal behaviors that lead to self-inflicted injuries to one’s own body tissue. The behaviors can be categorized into two distinct groups, namely suicidal self-injury and non-suicidal selfinjury (NSSI). Non-suicidal self-injuries are carried out to get relief, to calm down, to feel alive, to seek help from others, to get attention and be noticed rather than to end life. Risk factors for self-destructive behavior can be of an intrapersonal/internal or interpersonal/external nature. The effect of self-injury can be a visible physical injury, but the individual can attain temporary calming and relief due to the release of endorphins, opiates or oxytocin. This study also describes a patient-centered model – the Tidal modelwhich can be useful in the caring and treatment scheme. Language: English

Anderson) might become an interesting candidate for treatment of inflammation.
Leaf anatomy of the South African Danthonieae (Poaceae). XV. The genus Elytrophorus

The leaf anatomy of Elytrophorus globularis Hack, and E. spicatus (Willd.) A. Camus is described and illustrated from freshly fixed material from SWA/Namibia and Botswana. It is shown that these two species are anatomically indistinguishable. It is suggested that they are conspecific. and that E. spicatus possibly represents juvenile plants with immature inflorescences. The anatomical evidence strongly refutes a chloridoid relationship for Elytrophorus but appears to support arundinoid affinities for the genus. Striking anatomical and ecological similarities exist between Elytrophorus and Sacciolepis huillensis (Rendle) Stapf. No significant leaf anatomical differences separate Elytrophorus from S. huillensis and some of the other C3 panicoid taxa and. consequently, Elytro­phorus may represent a link between the Arundinoideae and the Panicoideae.
Fatigue life prediction of multiple site damage based on probabilistic equivalent initial flaw model

The loss of strength in a structure as a result of cyclic loads over a period of life time is an important phenomenon for the life-cycle analysis. Service loads are accentuated at the areas of stress concentration, mainly at the connection of components. Structural components unavoidably are affected by defects such as surface scratches, surface roughness and weld defects of random sizes, which usually occur during the manufacturing and handling process. These defects are shown to have an important effect on the fatigue life of the structural components by promoting crack initiation sites. The value of equivalent initial flaw size (EIFS) is calculated by using the back extrapolation technique and the Paris law of fatigue crack growth from results of fatigue tests. We try to analyze the effect of EIFS distribution in a multiple site damage (MSD) specimen by using the extended finite element method (XFEM). For the analysis, fatigue tests were conducted on the centrally-cracked specimens and MSD specimens.

Inverse modeling estimates of the global nitrous oxide surface flux from 1998–2001

Measurements of nitrous oxide in air samples from 48 sites in the Cooperative Global Air Sampling Network made by NOAA/ESRL GMD CCGG (the Carbon Cycle Greenhouse Gases group in the Global Monitoring Division at the NOAA Earth System Research Laboratory in Boulder, Colorado) and the three‐dimensional chemical transport model TM3 were used to infer global nitrous oxide fluxes and their uncertainties from 1998–2001. Results are presented for four semihemispherical regions (90°S–30°S, 30°S to equator, equator to 30°N, 30°N–90°N) and six broad “super regions” (Southern Land, Southern Oceans, Tropical Land, Tropical Oceans, Northern Land, and Northern Oceans). We found that compared to our a priori estimate (from the International Geosphere‐Biosphere Programme's Global Emissions Inventory Activity), the a posteriori flux was much lower from 90°S–30°S and substantially higher from equator to 30°N. Consistent with these results, the a posteriori flux from the Southern Oceans region was lower than the a priori estimate, while Tropical Land and Tropical Ocean estimates were higher. The ratio of Northern Hemisphere to Southern Hemisphere fluxes was found to range from 1.9 to 5.2 (depending on the model setup), which is higher than the a priori ratio (1.5) and at the high end of previous estimates. Globally, ocean emissions contributed 26–36% of the total flux (again depending on the model setup), consistent with the a priori estimate (29%), though somewhat higher than some other previous estimates.
Stages of Physical Activity in Patients after Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery: Application of Trans-Theoretical Model

Aim: Continuous physical activity is required after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery to prevent recurrence of the disease; however, its amount is not suitable in many patients. The present study aimed to investigate the stages of physical activity in patients after CABG using the Trans-Theoretical Model (TTM). Methods: In this cross-sectional research, 120 cardiac patients participated; they had CABG surgery and referred to Ekbatan Hospital of Hamadan. Sampling was conducted using a purpose-based approach. Data were collected using a researcher-made questionnaire based on the TTM and analyzed using the SPSS18 software. Descriptive statistics and statistical processes of one-way ANOVA, Tukey's post-hoc, and Chi-square tests were also conducted at a significant level of p<0.05. Findings: The mean age of the participants was 57.87±9.89 years. From the 120 patients under study, 4.2% were in the pre-contemplation phase, 14.2% in the contemplation stage, 58.3% in the preparation stage, 10.8% in the action stage, and 12.5% in the maintenance phase of the physical activity. The results of ANOVA test showed a significant difference between the stages of change in behavior with perceived advantages, perceived disadvantages, perceived self-efficacy, and processes of change (p <0.001). Conclusion: The results showed that many patients did not have regular physical activity after surgery. This makes clear the need for educational interventions based on theoretical models by health educators.
Numerical study on a KVLCC2 model advancing in shallow water

Due to the effects from the bottom of the waterway, advancing ships will sink deeper in shallow water than in deep water. This is known as squat effect, which increases with the speed of the vessel. The aim of the present paper is to provide a numerical method to predict the shallow water effects. The 3-D boundary element method is firstly applied to simulate a KVLCC2 model advancing in confined water. The wave-making resistance, as well as the sinkage and trim are calculated at different water depths. In order to verify the predictions from BEM program, CFD calculations in deep water will also be conducted and compared. Special efforts are made to calculate the wave elevations. The wave profiles at different water depths and distances are calculated. The comparisons between shallow water and deep water, as well as between the BEM and CFD programs, are also discussed in the present paper. Additionally, some comparison of the wave profiles with available experimental results is presented for validation of the approaches.
Urban Forest and Tree Valuation Using Discounted Cash Flow Analysis: Impact of Economic Components

Discounted cash flow analysis is one of the standard methods used to value urban forests and trees. It involves calculating today’s value for all benefits and costs attributed to an investment; that is discounting all cash flows to today’s value using an appropriate interest rate. This requires each benefit and cost be stated in terms of its cash flow. Urban tree benefits are complex. Little notice is given to the components of these benefits. Total urban tree benefits are a summation of partial benefits, including property value increase, storm water reduction, air quality improvement, carbon sequestration, natural gas savings, and electricity savings. We discuss the nature of these partial benefits, especially the geographical, temporal, diameter size, and rate of growth differences. These differences are even reflected in nursery stock valuation. Net present value analysis is used to illustrate the impact of these differences on financial return. An understanding of these components will prove valuable to those attempting to estimate urban forest and tree benefits.
ADEQUACY OF EXISTING HOUSE FOUNDATIONS FOR RESISTING EARTHQUAKES: THE COST-BENEFIT OF UPGRADING

The past performance of foundations in earthquakes for timber dwellings prompted a practical investigation into the adequacy of existing sub-floor bracing, connection capacity and the overall adherence to NZS3604:1999. Using information gathered from a sample of 80 Wellington dwellings and by using the results from an Earthquake Loss modeller, it was found that the cost of upgrading “at risk” foundations is almost 30 times less expensive than the complete cost of rebuilding dwellings. Potential damage mitigation saves around 5 times the calculated total damage costs. This saving has the potential to reduce temporary shelter costs and other large unknown costs of postearthquake rehabilitation and reconstruction.
BONDHOLDER WEALTH EFFECTS FROM DIVIDEND CHANGES

Bhagat and Romano (2002a, 2002b) document the importance of event study analysis of equity returns in corporate governance. We extend their analysis with the argument that analysis of bond returns around important corporate events can provide additional important information. Such information is particularly important in the current active public discussions over corporate governance. We provide an example of event study analysis of bond returns examining the impact of large dividend changes on both stockholders and bondholders in an effort to differentiate between the information content (transparency) and possible wealth transfers (theft) around dividends. Our study replicates earlier studies on investment grade bonds with ambiguous results using a sample of noninvestment grade bonds. Our results suggest that for ordinary dividend changes, wealth expropriation is a significant explanation in the gain to stockholders.
Flexible strategic partnerships in Danish construction

During the past 15 years, a series of public policy instruments aimed at improving the low development of productivity in the Danish construction industry have been initiated. Recent years, focus has been put on the concepts of partnering and strategic partnerships as key drivers in the transition towards a competitive and innovative industry. Partnerships are seen as a way of overcoming, what is perceived as being one of the primary reasons for the developmental problems: the lack of inter-firm coordination and utilisation of knowledge and learning. The objective of the research reported was to study extents and types of strategic partnerships in the Danish construction industry, examining inter-organisational collaboration. In doing so a variety of different methods were applied for collecting the data including questionnaire surveys and case studies of construction companies conducting strategic partnerships with parties within and outside the construction industry. The research points to the existence of a number of different partnerships with different aims, ranging from process rationalisation to product and concept development. A common element in all of the observed partnerships is the relatively short life span of the partnerships. The study shows that it often is problematic to realise any first mover advantages of a partnership, making it more attractive for companies to adopt existing products and production concepts rather than invest in expensive development activities. Furthermore is it shown that flexibility is seen as the primary competitive advantage in the construction sector, resulting in partnerships being created, dissolved and re-created.
The Use of Typed Lambda Calculus for Requirements Capture in the Domain of Ecological Modelling

We will describe the use of order-sorted, typed lambda calculus to represent ecological simulation models. It will be used to represent both the qualitative specifications of ecological situations and the differential equations which describe these situations quantitatively. The numerical solution of these equations constitutes a simulation model of the situation. This logic-based formalism extends previous formalisms for ecological modelling. Particular emphasis will be given to the automatic help given to users in formulating their goals, describing the ecological situation to be modelled and forming the differential equations which model it. The typed lambda calculus representation provides a simple grammar for constraining and guiding this process of requirements capture. Users develop their goals by a process of refinement of logical expressions. Each refinement step can also be understood in ecological terms. The refinement steps are necessarily not truth preserving because we are engaged in requirements capture rather than specification transformation.
An Analytical Study of National and International Care Label Systems of Textile and Apparel Products

This paper enables stakeholders involved in textile industry to gain an overview of standards used for care labelling and help establish a common standard that could be used as a universal standard. This study provides a comprehensive and detailed analytical study of care labelling standards adopted by common countries in the textile market. It was found that the development of a universal system for care labeling could enhance the trade of textile articles and assist consumers in caring for textile articles. Universal care label systems could be characterized by two main features of inclusiveness and comprehensiveness. The range of instructions and symbols presented were found different among standards. Insignificant differences in symbols’ shapes were found between standards for bleaching, ironing and professional cleaning. The washing process had the widest variety of instructions; in addition, options were provided by stated standards. Different meanings were found for similar shapes in some tumble drying symbols. The study findings show the importance of enhancing text based standards or the development of an understandable format across as many cultures as possible. The unification of symbols and meanings may be needed to provide global consumers consistent guidance. The efficiency of a detailed standard that provides and covers a wide range of instructions is an important aspect. The visibility and practicality of offering variable options/symbols in one standard is an important aspect for developing a universal care label system.
