Understanding Practices Surrounding Childhood Mementos to Inform the Design of Interactive Technology and Sentimental Record-Keeping

The saving of childhood mementos is a common practice that has existed for many generations across different cultures. Parents often save physical objects such as baby blankets, toys, or clothing. Designers of interactive technology have the opportunity to learn from and augment the practices surrounding the selecting, saving, sharing, and savoring of these physical objects. To understand the design opportunities for this space, we conducted artifact-based interviews and surveys with parents about the mementos they have saved from their own childhood and are currently saving for their young children. Themes emerged surrounding preserving and using mementos, qualities that imbue value to mementos, meanings associated with sharing mementos, and tensions around saving, clutter, and discarding. The themes highlight qualities of ambivalence and ambiguity surrounding sentimental behavior. We discuss these themes and apply the findings to the design of a new feature of an interactive system for tracking children’s data.
Genetic structure of two exploited populations of Bertholletia excelsa Bonpl . in the Acre River valley Estrutura genética de duas populações naturais de Bertholletia excelsa Bonpl . sob exploração no Vale do

Introdução Dentre os inúmeros produtos florestais não madeireiros (PFNMs) comercializados na Amazônia, Bertholletia excelsa, popularmente conhecida como castanheira, é considerada como espécie sıḿbolo. Milhares de famıĺias vivem da coleta dos seus frutos. Segundo o Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatıśtica, no ano de 2013, a produção de castanha-do-brasil contribuiu com mais de 70 milhões de reais na produção primária florestal brasileira (IBGE, 2013). Pela falta de plantios comerciais, a produção extrativista é responsável pelo abastecimento de quase todo o mercado nacional e internacional de castanha-do-brasil. Este fato faz com que esta espécie seja um modelo para o desenvolvimento econômico aliado à conservação das florestas tropicais (WADT et al., 2008). Bertholletia excelsa é a única espécie do gênero, pertencente à famıĺia Lecythidaceae. Ocorre naturalmente na bacia Amazônica e Guianas, geralmente em maciços denominados de castanhais (PRANCE; MORI, 1979) ou em extensas áreas com menor densidade (WADT et al., 2005). E uma espécie de grande porte, vida longa e que ocupa o dossel na floresta (MORI; PRANCE, 1990). A castanheira é monóica, auto-incompatıv́el e se reproduz por alogamia (O'MALLEY et al., 1988; CAVALCANTE, 2012; WADT et al., 2015). A polinização de suas flores é feita por polinizadores especıf́icos: abelhas de grande porte pertencentes principalmente aos gêneros Bombus e Xylocopa (MAUE S, 2002; CAVALCANTE, 2012) e o desenvolvimento do fruto leva cerca de 14 meses para a maturação (MORITZ, 1984). A dispersão primária dos frutos ocorre por barocoria, sendo que as sementes permanecem dentro do fruto até serem retiradas por dispersores/predadores (PRANCE; MORI, 1979). Os principais animais relacionados com a dispersão ou predação das sementes de castanha-do-brasil são cutia (Dasyprocta spp.), cutiara (Myoprocta pratti), paca (Cuniculus paca), algumas espécies de macacos, pequenos ratos silvestres (ZUIDEMA, 2003; SILVA, 2009; HAUGAASEN et al., 2010), além do ser humano quando de sua exploração extrativista. A germinação das sementes e desenvolvimento da planta é totalmente dependente de sua remoção de dentro dos frutos, processo que ocorre naturalmente em um perıódo de 12 a 18 meses (KAINER et al., 1998). Apesar da coleta extrativista da castanha-do-brasil ser realizada há mais de um século, poucos são os estudos relativos à genética desta espécie. Como uma espécie que gera um produto florestal nãomadeireiro de interesse econômico, a manutenção de suas populações depende de estratégias adequadas para o manejo das mesmas (AZEVEDO, 2007). Para que essas estratégias sejam efetivas é essencial que estejam embasadas em estudos genéticos que quantifiquem a variabilidade genética existente dentro e entre as populações (OLIVEIRA et al., 2006). Desta forma, o presente estudo foi realizado com o objetivo de avaliar a estrutura genética de duas populações exploradas de Bertholletia excelsa do vale do Rio Acre, Brasil.
Incest Taboos and Kinship: A Biological or a Cultural Story?

In most, if not all, societies, incest taboos—perhaps the most universal of cultural taboos—include prohibitions on marriage between parent and child or between siblings. This universality suggests a biological origin, yet the considerable variation across societies in the full range of prohibited marriage relations implies a cultural origin. Correspondingly, theories regarding the origin of incest taboos vary from those that focus on the biological consequences (were marriage-based procreation allowed to include inbred matings) to those that focus on social consequences such as confounding social roles, especially within the family, or restricting networks of interfamily alliances, were marriages to take place between close relatives. For those focusing on the biological consequences, the sexual aversion hypothesis of the anthropologist Edvard Westermarck has played a central role through seemingly providing an empirically grounded, causal link from the phenomenal level of behavior to the ideational level of culture. Yet the matter is not so simple and requires rethinking of what we mean by kinship and how our ideas about kinship relate to the widespread occurrence of incest taboos and the extensive variability in their content.
Strategy Assessment and Decision based Implications for Integrated Product-Service-Suppliers

In order to provide effective Product-Service-Solutions, so-called Integrated Solutions, especially industrial SME face challenges regarding the selection of appropriate business models regarding their internal organisation. Contingency Theory claims that a good fit between structural, strategic and external factors is necessary for a company’s success. The servitization strategy can be organised on a continuum of Individualisation and Standardisation. It is, therefore, vital to align business processes, organisational structure and leadership styles with the corresponding strategy. An assessment concept is presented which allows strategy identification as well as implementation guidelines for the organisational development of Integrated Solution Suppliers increasingly providing Product-Service-Solutions.
A New Statistical Model and a Redefinition of Isotopic Ratio: Correction and Evaluation in Ultra-microanalysis

Ultra-microanalysis of isotopes is required to clarify the origin, structure, and history of extremely small samples, for example micrometeorites and aerosols. However, a decrease in the number of measured atoms reveals a serious problem in the concept of isotopic ratio. The first fundamental defect of the isotopic ratio concept is imperfect reversibility of numerator and denominator, leading to two isotopic compositions inconsistent with each other. Secondly, the probability distribution of isotopic ratio is not the same as the binominal distribution, indicating that the mean isotopic ratio is systematically higher than the true isotopic ratio. Since these demerits should be avoided in ultra-microanalysis as much as possible, isotopic abundance or relative isotopic abundance should be used rather than isotopic ratio. The concept of isotopic ratio is, however, widely used in geochemical and cosmochemical fields, making it very difficult to abandon. Therefore, the potential uncertainty of isotopic ratio and the gap between the obtained isotopic ratio and the true one deriving from the number of sampling atoms and the isotopic ratio are vigorously evaluated here. In addition, a confirmation requirement for confirming an anomalous isotopic ratio is provided. The statistical model shown in the present work clearly indicates that the major isotope must be set as the denominator of isotopic ratio, i.e. isotopic ratio must be below 1, to reduce the effects of distorted probability distribution of isotopic ratio. In the precise measurement of isotopes, the potential error and disagreement with the true value must be tested when the number of sampled atoms is extremely few. Serious problems have not been occurred in research up to the present even in the case of NanoSIMS measurements, but this is because a sufficient number of atoms was analyzed and only extremely large isotopic anomalies were investigated. The correction and evaluation methods established in this paper will be required for accurate ultra-microanalysis.
Subarcsecond international LOFAR radio images of Arp 220 at 150 MHz. A kpc-scale star forming disk surrounding nuclei with shocked outflows

Context. Arp 220 is the prototypical ultra luminous infrared galaxy (ULIRG). Despite extensive studies, the structure at MHz-frequencies has remained unknown because of limits in spatial resolution. Aims: This work aims to constrain the flux and shape of radio emission from Arp 220 at MHz frequencies. Methods: We analyse new observations with the International Low Frequency Array (LOFAR) telescope, and archival data from the Multi-Element Radio Linked Interferometer Network (MERLIN) and the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA). We model the spatially resolved radio spectrum of Arp 220 from 150 MHz to 33 GHz. Results: We present an image of Arp 220 at 150 MHz with resolution 0.65 × 0.35, sensitivity 0.15 mJy beam-1, and integrated flux density 394 ± 59 mJy. More than 80% of the detected flux comes from extended (6''≈ 2.2 kpc) steep spectrum (α = -0.7) emission, likely from star formation in the molecular disk surrounding the two nuclei. We find elongated features extending 0.3'' (110 pc) and 0.9'' (330 pc) from the eastern and western nucleus respectively, which we interpret as evidence for outflows. The extent of radio emission requires acceleration of cosmic rays far outside the nuclei. We find that a simple three component model can explain most of the observed radio spectrum of the galaxy. When accounting for absorption at 1.4 GHz, Arp 220 follows the FIR/radio correlation with q = 2.36, and we estimate a star formation rate of 220 M⊙ yr-1. We derive thermal fractions at 1 GHz of less than 1% for the nuclei, which indicates that a major part of the UV-photons are absorbed by dust. Conclusions: International LOFAR observations shows great promise to detect steep spectrum outflows and probe regions of thermal absorption. However, in LIRGs the emission detected at 150 MHz does not necessarily come from the main regions of star formation. This implies that high spatial resolution is crucial for accurate estimates of star formation rates for such galaxies at 150 MHz.
Thyroid Function and Volume are Associated with Anthropometric Measurements and Insulin Resistance in Egyptian Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome

Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is frequently associated with insulin resistance (IR) and obesity. On the other hand, obesity has been previously linked to endocrine disorders especially thyroid dysfunction. The purpose of this study was to assess thyroid function and volume in women with PCOS and to evaluate their relations to anthropometric measurements and IR. Methods: The study enrolled 40 women with PCOS and 62 healthy women matched for age and body mass index (BMI). BMI, waist circumference (WC), homeostasis model assessment of Insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), lipid profile, androgens, thyroid function tests and thyroid volume were evaluated. PCOS women were divided according to HOMA-IR into 2 subgroups: non-insulin resistant and insulin resistant PCOS. Results: Insulin resistant PCOS; but not total or non-insulin resistant PCOS; had significant increase in TSH, thyroid volume, and nodule prevalence than control women. Insulin resistant PCOS showed significant increase in BMI, WC, TSH and thyroid volume than non-insulin resistant PCOS. In PCOS women: TSH, thyroid volume and nodule prevalence were significantly and positively correlated with BMI, WC, fasting insulin and HOMA-IR. With multiple regression analysis BMI, WC, fasting insulin and HOMA-IR remained independently correlated with TSH, thyroid volume and nodule prevalence. Conclusions: Women with PCOS had changes in thyroid function and volume which are linked to and associated with IR. Obesity may represent a link between IR and thyroid changes in these women.
nefficient self-selection into education and wage inequality

This paper proposes a theoretical framework where within graduates wage inequality is related to overeducation/educational mismatch in the labor market. We show that wage inequality may arise because of inefficient self-selection into education in the presence of ability-complementary technological progress and asymmetric information on individuals’ ability. In this setting, a crucial role is played by educational quality since it determines the signaling mechanisms in the labor market. We report some empirical evidence on the impact of mismatch, individual ability, family background, and university features on wages 23

Determinants of Bank Staff Motivation in the Cape Coast Metropolis

Staff motivation is one of the key drivers of success in today’s competitive environment. The paper seeks to determine the factors that influence bank staff motivation in the Cape Coast Metropolis. In specific terms, this paper aimed at analysing the variance explained by variables in staff motivation as well as determining whether there are statistically significant differences in the levels of the factors that affect staff motivation. The census sampling method was employed for the study. The responses of 81 staff members were gathered through questionnaires from seven banks in the Cape Coast Metropolis. Descriptive statistics was used for mean levels of the factors whilst a dependent (sample) t-test was used to determine the differences between the levels of the factors. Multiple regression technique was used to identify the factors (determinants) that best explain variance in staff motivation. It was explained from the study that there were statistically significant differences between the levels of the factors that affect staff motivation except between staff supervision and staff perceived competence and staff recognition and job satisfaction. Also, the results of the study revealed that determinants of motivation were recognition and job satisfaction. Thus, they significantly influence bank staff motivation in the Cape Coast Metropolis. The staff recommended that improvement in verbal and tangible recognition of good work as well as interesting and challenging work through job enlargement and enrichment would logically lead to high motivation. Key words: Motivation; Recognition; Role clarity; Job satisfaction; Supervision; Perceived competence; Bank staff
Behavioral Economics, Food Assistance, and Obesity

While there is mixed evidence of the impact of food assistance programs on obesity, there is general agreement that the food-insecure are at higher risk of obesity and obesity-related diseases. Food assistance programs, originally designed to overcome a lack of available food, now need to confront a very different problem: how to provide for the food-insecure while encouraging healthy lifestyles. This paper examines the potential to address these competing needs using traditional economic policies (manipulating information or prices) versus policies engaging behavioral economics and psychology.
Deformation Evaluation of Solder Ball Joints by Electromotive Force

Deformation measurements with a thermocouple were applied in a deformation test of solder joints. The thermocouple is effectively combined with a conventional testing machine. The lead–solder and non–lead solder joints were pulled and sheared. The load-displacement and electromotive force (Emf)–displacement curves can be continuously derived from the signals of a load cell and the thermocouple. The Emfs in tension were compared with that in shear. The maximum Emf value in tension was larger than the emf value in shear, which meant in weakness of the solder joint in shear. Fracture occurred at the interface between the copper layer pad and solder, and the obtained Emf is closely related to fracture at the interface. The maximum Emf value in the non-lead solder was smaller than the Emf value in the lead–solder.
Study of Effectiveness of POS Data in Managing Supply Chain

Enticing experience by retailer or wholesaler is the fundamental key to the success of their business and to achieve this experience, there are some requirements of right technologies for competitive marketing. Point of Sale (POS) systems manage the execution of retail transactions, often determining the payment due for products/services to be purchased, recording the receipt of funds, recording the completion of the transaction and issuance of receipts. Clerical cost minimization, reduction in stock out situation, increase in flexibility, improving sales, reduction of time etc. are some basic objectives of a business. In this paper, study of effectiveness of POS data in managing the supply chain is done at retail level. Selected retail stores of Madhya Pradesh (India) are chosen and data is collected using a structured questionnaire. Data thus obtained are analyzed to carry out a comparative study of retail stores. Various benefits of POS data are examined and stores are ranked according to effective utilization of POS data in decision making. Benefits of adopting POS data are ‘improved inventory management’, ‘increase the flexibility of response to customer demands’ and ‘reduction in costs and times’.
Onset asynchrony in spoken menus

The menu is an important interface component, which appears unlikely to be completely superseded by modern search-based approaches. For someone who is unable to attend a screen visually, however, alternative non-visual menu formats are often problematic. A display is developed in which multiple concurrent words are presented with different amounts of onset asynchrony. The effect of different amounts of asynchrony and word length on task durations, accuracy and workload are explored. It is found that total task duration is significantly affected by both onset asynchrony and word duration. Error rates are significantly affected by both onset asynchrony, word length and their interaction, whilst subjective workload scores are only significantly affected by onset asynchrony. Overall, the results appear to suggest that the best compromise between accuracy, workload and speed may be achieved through presenting shorter or temporally-compressed words with a short inter-stimuli interval.

Household Food Demand in Response to Earthquake: A Linear Approximate Almost Ideal Demand System Approach

Natural disasters are always associated with the disruption of local economies and hurting the local people. Households usually respond to those difficulties by cutting their consumption especially for non-necessity goods. Hence this paper discusses the pattern of food demand when the earthquake occurs. In addition, it also observes the price and expenditure elasticities of food demand by estimating a Linear Approximate Almost Ideal Demand System (LA-AIDS). This paper also examines the effect of earthquake on living standards of households. It finds that food demand estimations on rice and oil have price inelastic demand, while vegetable, meat, and fish are price elastic. Furthermore, poor households are more likely to have a greater negative impact than rich households although the effect is quite small.
Geology and Hydrothermal Alteration of the Duobuza Gold‐Rich Porphyry Copper District in the Bangongco Metallogenetic Belt, Northwestern Tibet

The Duobuza gold‐rich porphyry copper district is located in the Bangongco metallogenetic belt in the Bangongco‐Nujiang suture zone south of the Qiangtang terrane. Two main gold‐rich porphyry copper deposits (Duobuza and Bolong) and an occurrence (135 Line) were discovered in the district. The porphyry‐type mineralization is associated with three Early Cretaceous ore‐bearing granodiorite porphyries at Duobuza, 135 Line and Bolong, and is hosted by volcanic and sedimentary rocks of the Middle Jurassic Yanshiping Formation and intermediate‐acidic volcanic rocks of the Early Cretaceous Meiriqie Group. Simultaneous emplacement and isometric distribution of three ore‐forming porphyries is explained as multi‐centered mineralization generated from the same magma chamber. Intense hydrothermal alteration occurs in the porphyries and at the contact zone with wall rocks. Four main hypogene alteration zones are distinguished at Duobuza. Early‐stage alteration is dominated by potassic alteration with extensive secondary biotite, K‐feldspar and magnetite. The alteration zone includes dense magnetite and quartz‐magnetite veinlets, in which Cu‐Fe‐bearing sulfides are present. Propylitic alteration occurs in the host basic volcanic rocks. Extensive chloritization‐silicification with quartz‐chalcopyrite or quartz‐molybdenite veinlets superimposes on the potassic alteration. Final‐stage argillic alteration overlaps on all the earlier alteration. This alteration stage is characterized by destruction of feldspar to form illite, dickite and kaolinite, with accompanying veinlets of quartz + chalcopyrite + pyrite and quartz + pyrite assemblages. Cu coexists with Au, which indicates their simultaneous precipitation. Mass balance calculations show that ore‐forming elements are strongly enriched during the above‐mentioned three alteration stages.
Le devoisement des voyelles finales

Parmi les variations phonetiques du francais contemporain, le devoisement des voyelles finales est sans doute un des phenomenes plus voyants. Sa diffusion croissante dans la langue des medias des differentes francophonies suggere l'emergence d'un nouveau " tic " de langage propre aux journalistes de la radio et la television. Cette etude cherche a investiguer, a travers l'administration d'un test de perception aupres d'un public francophone naif, la perception sociale d'un tel phenomene, son origine, son developpement ainsi que les eventuelles fonctions expressives qu'il remplit dans la communication et dans l'interaction.
Numerical Simulation of Cohesive Fracture by the Virtual-Internal-Bond Model

The recently developed virtual-internal- bond (VIB) model has incorporated a cohesive-type law into the constitutive law of solids such that fracture and failure of solids become a coherent part of the consti- tutive law and no separate fracture or failure criteria are needed. A numerical algorithm is developed in this study for the VIB model under static loadings. The model is applied to study three examples, namely the crack nucle- ation and propagation from stress concentration, kinking and subsequent propagation of a mode II crack, and the buckling-driven delamination of a thin film from a sub- strate. The results have demonstrated that the VIB model provides an effective method to study crack nucleation and propagation in engineering materials and systems.
