Heightening levels of compassion towards self and others through use of compassionate mind training

Background: A continued absence of strategies that promote self-care puts midwives at risk of experiencing symptoms of stress, empathic distress fatigue, burnout, and compassion fatigue, all of which can affect midwives' performance and the level of compassion they show to others. Aims: The objective of this paper is to outline a possible education strategy for student midwives that has the potential to affect the level of compassion that the individual can show both to him/herself and others in times of suffering. Suggested approach: Compassionate mind training (CMT) has been found to be beneficial in clinical populations with individuals who report symptoms of primary trauma, low levels of self-compassion, and who are self-critical. Student midwives bear witness to the traumas of others, so it is important to consider an intervention to help student midwives who may experience symptoms of secondary trauma, self-criticism, or low levels of self-compassion while in training. Conclusion: Incorporating CMT .

The measurement of moral values in adolescents and young Romanian adults

Measurement of moral values in adolescents and young adults has significant benefits in the area of counseling, developmental psychology, social psychology and moral development. With regard to moral values, cultural differences can be noteworthy. Thus, the necessity for an instrument that measures the degree of internalization of moral values of a Romanian population becomes evident. The Moral Values Internalization Questionnaire was administered to 175 students. Scores showed good estimates of alpha internal consistency values for each of the four types of perceived motivations that can point to the four different reasons adolescents and young adults may have for engaging in a specific behavior: external α = . 834, introjected α =. 771, identified α =. 659, and integrated α =. 728. The results support the use of MVIQ as a measure of the internalization of moral values, both in assessing the level of development in Romanian adolescents and in checking the efficiency of programs that aim to develop moral values.
NMMO treatment: An effective pretreatment for improvement of lignocelluloses by increasing enzyme accessibility

Lignocellulosic Waste managements are abundant, inexpensive materials that can be used to provide a major source for low-cost bioethanol production. However, recalcitrant structure of lignocelluloses is a major obstacle to their efficient conversion to fermentable sugars. To address this problem, several pretreatments have been investigated including physical, chemical, and biological methods. The general idea in all the pretreatments is to enhance the digestibility of the lignocellulose by increasing the substrate accessibility to the hydrolytic enzymes. Cellulose-dissolution-based methods such as N-Methylmorpholine-N-oxide (NMMO) can be applied in relatively mild conditions than the common thermal pretreatments. Besides, NMMO is a non-toxic and fully biodegradable industrial solvent with the possibility of nearly complete recycling. The current study aimed to improve the enzymatic hydrolysis yield of aspen wood, a widely available type of hardwood, by NMMO pretreatment. Native aspen wood was subjected to NMMO pretreatment for 1, 3, and 5 h at 120
Cluster Analysis on PEAD Using SUE Model with Quarterly Data

The paper constructs SUE model with Quarterly Report Data of the A-share listed companies for the first time, to analyze Post-Earnings-Announcement Drift (PEAD) with a higher data frequency. A further cluster analysis is made to examine PEAD phenomenon under different market caps and report periods. The study finds that large cap stocks show stronger PEAD than the small cap. It also firstly finds that PEAD on Q1 is more obvious than others. These findings have practical significance for the investment management decisions and the quantitative trading financial products developments.

Longevity Enhancing Measures for Sensor Grids

In this paper, we have analyzed network availability of sensor grids in the context of criticality of individual nodes in ensuring network connectivity that form such grids. By assuming staircase traversal to adjacent neighbors only, we consider the network availability of a two dimensional grid. We propose simple yet innovative schemes for such pla- nar arrangements of sensor nodes to improve their longevity. Through the interpretation of the stochastic model we have obtained, the usability of our schemes can be duly verified.
Individual-level contact limits phonological complexity: Evidence from bunched and retroflex /ɹ/

We compare the complexity of idiosyncratic sound patterns involving American English /ɹ/ with the relative simplicity of clear/dark /l/-allophony patterns found in English and other languages. For /ɹ/, we report an ultrasound-based articulatory study of twenty-seven speakers of American English. Two speakers use only retroflex /ɹ/, sixteen use only bunched /ɹ/, and nine use both /ɹ/ types, with idiosyncratic allophonic distributions. These allophony patterns are covert, because the difference between bunched and retroflex /ɹ/ is not readily perceived by listeners. We compare this typology of /ɹ/-allophony patterns to clear/dark /l/-allophony patterns in seventeen languages. On the basis of the observed patterns, we show that individual-level /ɹ/ allophony and language-level /l/ allophony exhibit similar phonetic grounding, but that /ɹ/-allophony patterns are considerably more complex. The low complexity of language-level /l/-allophony patterns, which are more readily perceived by listeners, is argued to be the result of individual-level contact in the development of sound patterns. More generally, we argue that familiar phonological patterns (which are relatively simple and homogeneous within communities) may arise from individual-level articulatory patterns, which may be complex and speaker-specific, by a process of koineization. We conclude that two classic properties of phonological rules, phonetic naturalness and simplicity, arise from different sources.
Title An integrated lot-size model of deteriorating item for one vendor and multiple retailers considering market pricing using genetic algorithm

In this paper, we propose a model to study influence of pricing and deteriorating rate on the supply chain level net profit and total inventory where genetic algorithm is used for determine the optimal solution. A one-vendor and multi-retailer supply chain for a single deteriorating finished product and raw materials is analyzed. Under the proposed strategy, the vendor buys a non-deteriorating materials to vendor a deteriorating finished product, delivers the finished product to all retailers by common replenishment periods based on VMI (vendor managed inventory) being implemented. All retailers who buy the finished product sell the finished product on their markets. In all of these markets, the finished product in different markets has substitution each other since consumers may have opportunity to buy the finished product from different retailer and Cobb-Douglas demand function is introduced to describe this market attribute. After developing an integrated product-inventory-marketing model for deteriorating product, genetic algorithm is conducted to calculate the optimal pricing and inventory policies. Finally we present the results of a detailed numerical study that analyses the market and deteriorating rate related parameters influence on the supply chain level net profit and inventory level.

A Simulation Study on Tests of Hypotheses for Fixed Effects in Mixed Models for One-Way ANOVA under the Violation of the Equal Variances Assumption of the Treatment Groups with and without Missing Data

This article considers the analysis of experiment of one- way completely randomized design (one-way ANOVA) that is frequently used in every discipline. We investigate a common prob- lem that is data collected in practice usually violate parametric assumptions to some degree. We concentrated our attention on ANOVA when the equal variances assumption for the treatment groups is violated. We investigate the performance of a general linear fixed effects model approach (GLM procedure of the SAS System) in analyzing one-way ANOVA under the violation of only one assump- tion that is heterogeneous variances. Also, we investigate the perfor- mance of a general linear mixed effects model approach (MIXED procedure of the SAS System) in analyzing one-way ANOVA under the violation of only one assumption that is heterogeneous variances as alternative to GLM procedure of the SAS System. The main result of our article is that the general linear mixed effects model approach can be recommended to be used in case of the suspicion of the viola- tion of the equal variances assumption specially in case of unbalanced data where the general linear fixed effects model approach showed serious departures upward from the nominal level.
Closure of Loop Ileostomy: A Review of the Evidence for the Practising Surgeon

Defunctioning loop ileostomy is a common procedure that is employed alongside restorative proctocolectomy in both benign and malignant conditions. Once time has elapsed and the colonic anastomosis has healed, a second operation is carried out to close the loop ileostomy and restore bowel continuity. The two-stage strategy depends on the total morbidity of a longer primary procedure, living with the ileostomy, closure of the ileostomy and subsequent rehabilitation being less than the morbidity associated with one-stage restorative proctocolectomy and rehabilitation alone. The main disadvantage of one-stage restorative proctocolectomy is the risk of leak and pelvic sepsis. In practice, most surgeons use a one-stage restorative proctocolectomy when they perceive the risk of leak to be low and a two-stage strategy when the risk of leak is high. This paper aims to draw together what evidence there is surrounding closure of loop ileostomy from technical, administrative and patient perspectives. The aim is to put the issues surrounding defunctioning stomas and their reversal into perspective in order to inform both the surgeon and the patient, aiding in their decision-making processes. Conclusion: Closure of loop ileostomy may be of only marginal benefit to the patient in quality of life and satisfaction. The procedure carries significant risks and published data concerning the rates of various complications is highly variable. The relevant studies are reviewed in order to provide useful information on complication rates for patients, surgeons and trainees.
Fluid and glucose transport across intestinal epithelium following honey intake in rats

The effect of honey intake on fluid and glucose absorption in rats was studied using everted sacs intestine techniques. Twelve rats (180-200 gm) were randomly selected and grouped into the control (A) and honey-fed (test) group (B) with six rats in each group. The control group was fed with rat chow and water while the test group was fed with rat chow, water and honey. The experiment lasted for 4 weeks excluding two weeks of acclimatization. The animals were scarified at the end of study and the abdomen opened immediately, and the intestine dissected out. 10 cm long of the intestine (2 from jejunum, 2 from ileum) were cut out and used for the everted sacs experiment. The results showed that honey intake did not affect fluid transport but affected glucose transport across the small intestine. There were no significant differences observed in initial wet weight (IWW), initial serosal volume (ISV) and final serosal volume (FSV) in both the test and control groups (p>0.05). No significant differences were also observed in mucosal fluid transfer (MET), serosal fluid transfer (SET) and gut fluid uptake (GFU) in both the test and control groups (p>0.05). However, mucosal glucose transfer (MGT), serosal glucose transfer (SGT) and GGU, while MGT and SGT were significantly higher in the test group compared to the control (p<0.05), the gut glucose uptake (GGU) was however significantly reduced in the test compared with the control (p<0.05). It is therefore concluded that honey intake significantly reduced GGU while it significantly increased MGT and SGT in the intestinal epithelium of Wister rats.
A WIDEBAND MICROSTRIP-LINE-FED ISOSCELES TRAPEZOIDAL DIELECTRIC RESONATOR ANTENNA WITH MODIFIED GROUND PLANE

A microstrip-line-fed Isosceles Trapezoidal Dielectric Resonator Antenna (ITDRA) with a parasitic strip and modifled ground plane is introduced. It is proved by simulation and experiment that the antenna's resonant frequency can be lowered and the bandwidth can be increased considerably by introducing a slot and optimizing its position and dimensions in the ground plane. The proposed antenna is a wide band antenna with a 2 : 1 VSWR bandwidth of 21.5% centered at 2.51GHz and exhibits good radiation characteristics and moderate gain in the entire operating band. The antenna covers important application bands viz. ISM: Bluetooth/WLAN 2.4/Wibree (802.11 b/g/n)/ZigBee, WiBro and DMB. The wideband response in the relatively lower frequency range which includes the above mentioned application bands are not much seen anywhere in literature. Details of the design along with experimental and simulation results are presented and discussed.
Matching organizational flexibility demands andemployee flexibility – A first step towards anunifying framework for labour flexibility

The present research elaborates on perceived organizational flexibility demands and employee flexibility in the context of labour flexibility. Outcomes of this case study suggest that the researched organization confronts their workforce with a certain labour demand consisting of context specific (in this case locational) flexibility aspects. Furthermore the research shows that a proactive personality and Role Breadth Self-Efficacy (RBSE) are positively related to perceived employee flexibility. The research outcomes further show that organizational flexibility demands and employee flexibility go hand in hand. The pre-tested questionnaire was conducted in one small and medium sized enterprise (SME) with 132 employees. The participating organization is a publisher of a regional German newspaper and participated voluntarily but anonymously. In total 47 employees participated in an online survey which comes down to a response rate of 36%. The introduced research instrument and flex matcher enable organizations to asses and match organizational flexibility demands and employee flexibility. Out of this research some interesting new questions arise which should inspire other researchers to conduct more research on labour flexibility.
A Hero in the Name of Truth: Mortality Salience Increases Heroic Perceptions of Edward Snowden

Edward Snowden has made significant personal sacrifices by revealing the truth about secret surveillance activities by the National Security Agency. According to research on terror management theory, reminding people of their own death strengthens worldview-bolstering reactions, such as following cultural standards and supporting people who uphold those standards. Assuming Snowden’s disclosures were motivated by fighting for the truth and for the value of honesty, and further that cultural values become more important under mortality salience, we hypothesized that reminding people on their own death increases heroic perceptions of Snowden. As predicted, results of our study indicated that participants in the mortality salience condition reported stronger heroic perceptions compared to a control group. This effect was found to be independent of patriotism or political orientation.
Fruit Shape Classification in Cantaloupe Using the Analysis of Geometrical Attributes

Fruit shape is one of the most important physical properties and quality parameters of all agricultural produce. Moreover, classification of fruit shape is vital in evaluating agricultural produce, meeting quality standards and increasing market value. It is also helpful in planning packaging, transportation and marketing operations. Misshapen fruits are generally rejected according to sorting standards of fruit. Therefore, this study was carried out to establish quantitative algorithm for classification of fruit shape in cantaloupe (Cucumis melo) and to determine detection algorithm for misshapen cantaloupes. Geometrical attributes and some physical characteristics of cantaloupe such as length, major diameter, minor diameter, mass, volume and density were measured. To achieve objective and reproducible results, an assessment based on geometrical attributes analysis was proposed. Significant differences in fruit shape parameters i.e. length to lateral geometric mean diameter ratio (roundness ratio) and major diameter to minor diameter ratio (ellipsoid ratio) were detected between fruit shapes. The results of the study indicated that roundness ratio and ellipsoid ratio can be used successfully to classify fruit shape and determine normal and misshapen fruit.
Secondary school studentsʹ environmental concerns : a case study from Slovenia

Students ’ environmental concern s w ere investigated using a questionnaire with 1 2 items. The study sample comprised 410 first and second year students of general upper secondary school from NW Slovenia . Results provide evidence that students’ concerns for the consequences of environmental damage formed three correlated factors organized around self and family, all peop le, and the biosphere. The highest was students’ environmental concern for the biosphere, followed by concern for self and family, and concern for all the people. Gender differences were significant in concerns for all people and for the biosphere; female students were more concerned than male students. Age differences were significant in concerns for the biosphere in favour of older students. Since humanity is facing challenges in balancing our demands and ecological limitations, the results of this study could be beneficial for further development of environmental education
Morphological divergence patterns among populations of Poecilia vivipara (Teleostei Poeciliidae) : test of an ecomorphological paradigm

The structure of body size and shape divergence among populations of Poecilia vivipara inhabiting quaternary lagoons in South-eastern Brazil was studied. This species is abundant throughout an environmental gradient formed by water salinity differences. The salinity gradient influences the habitat structure (presence of macrophytes) and the fish community (presence of large predators). Size and shape variation within and among populations was quantified by geometric morphometrics and analysed by indirect and direct gradient ordinations, using salinity and geography as a framework. Morphological divergence was associated with the salinity gradient. The evolutionary allometries observed were independent of within-group static allometries. Sexually dimorphic patterns were observed in size variation and within-population allometries. Specimens from freshwater (higher predation) sites presented smaller sizes, relatively longer caudal regions, lower anterior regions and a ventrally displaced eye. These features are consistent with an ecomorphological paradigm for aquatic organisms from populations subject to intense predation. A process of directional selection is postulated as the most likely force driving diversification among P. vivipara populations. © 2008 The Linnean Society of London, Biological Journal of the Linnean Society, 2008, 93, 799–812.
