The Influence of Entrepreneurship Subject on Students' Interest in Entrepreneurship with Hidden Curriculum as the Intervening Variable

Higher education is a place of knowledge transfer with the certain framework set by a trusted institution. Nevertheless, the concept of knowledge transfer was still limited to a qualitative or tentative which made the output was only the micro scale of the institution scope. It was not appropriate to the goal of learning process in a very broad sense, both qualitatively and quantitatively. The objective of the study was to know the influence of entrepreneurship subject on students' interest in entrepreneurship at Institut Pesantren Mathaliul Falah (IPMAFA) Pati with hidden curriculum as the intervening variable. It used WarpsPls analysis to test the model directly and directly. The samples of the study were 30 Islamic banking students who got entrepreneurship subject and Islamic community development who did not get the entrepreneurship subject. The results of this study explained that the entrepreneurship subject influenced students' interest in entrepreneurship and the second model test results showed that hidden curriculum was not able to become the intervening variable for students' interest in entrepreneurshipPerguruan tinggi merupakan tempat transfer ilmu dengan kerangka yang telah ditetapkan oleh lembaga yang dipercaya. Namun demikian, konsep dari proses transfer ilmu masih sebatas kualitatif atau bahkan tentatif sehingga ouput yang dihasilkan masih berkutat pada skala mikro dari lingkup lembaga. Hal ini belum selaras dengan tujuan proses pembelajaran yang mempunyai arti sangat luas, baik kualitatif maupun kuantitatif. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh mata kuliah kewirausahaan terhadap minat berwirausaha pada mahasiswa Institut Pesantren Mathaliul Falah (IPMAFA) Pati dengan hidden curriculum sebagai variabel intervening. Metode penelitian ini menggunakan analisis WarpsPls dengan menguji model langsung dan tidak langsung. Sampel yang diteliti adalah mahasiswa dengan Prodi Perbankan Syariah dan mahasiswa Prodi Pengembangan Masyarakat Islam dengan kriteria mahasiswa yang telah mendapatkan Matakuliah Kewirausahaan dan yang belum mendapatkan Matakuliah Kewirausahaan dengan jumlah sampel 30 orang. Hasil penelitian ini menjelaskan bahwa Matakuliah Kewirausahaan berpengaruh terhadap minat berwirausaha dan hasil uji model yang kedua menjelaskan bahwa hidden curriculum tidak mampu menjadi variabel intervening bagi minat berwirausaha mahasiswa.
The Effects of Ethnicity on Evacuation Decision-Making

This paper develops a single stage theoretical model that examines the impact of citizen ethnicity on evacuation warning compliance. Three ethnic groups are examined: blacks, whites, and Mexican-Americans. Other independent variables in the model include risk perception, possession of an adaptive plan, warning content, warning confirmation, income, and warning source credibility. The model is tested on data from a flood and a hazardous materials incident. In both events, it was found that respondent ethnicity and income had small and statistically nonsignificant effects upon warning compliance. Perceived risk was the best predictor of compliance in each data set. Ethnic group differences were detected in terms of the specific sources identified as most credible and in terms of the first source contacted for warning confirmation.
Accurate multi-scale license plate localization via image saliency

In modern society, the automatic vehicle license plate (VLP) detection has been widely used in the fields of intelligent transportation system (ITS) in order to build an effective automatic traffic management system. As VLPs are salient to human visual system, we propose a novel method for VLPs detection based on saliency mechanism. The proposed method mainly contains three parts. The first part is candidate detection combining both colour and gradient information. The second part is affine rectification by conducting rotation and shear transformation to rectify tilt plates. The third part is accurate location of plates using saliency of the proposed candidates in the second part. Experimental results on a large set of vehicle images and street-view panoramas demonstrate that our proposed method can not only accurately locate the license plates with different background/ foreground colours at different inclination angles and different scales but also achieve a higher true positive rate and a lower false positive rate with a low computational cost.

Examensarbete Closing the Loop Mobile Visual Location Recognition

Visual simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) as field has been researched for ten years, but with recent advances in mobile performance visual SLAM is entering the consumer market in a completely new way. A visual SLAM system will however be sensitive to non cautious use that may result in severe motion, occlusion or poor surroundings in terms of visual features that will cause the system to temporarily fail. The procedure of recovering from such a fail is called relocalization. Together with two similar problems localization, to find your position in an existing SLAM session, and loop closing, the online reparation and perfection of the map in an active SLAM session, these can be grouped as visual location recognition (VLR). This thesis presents novel results by combining the scalability of FabMap and the precision of 13th Lab’s tracking yielding high-precision VLR, ±10 cm, while maintaining above 99 % precision and 60 % recall for sessions containing thousands of images. Everything functional purely on a normal mobile phone. The applications of VLR are many. Indoors, where GPS is not functioning, VLR can still provide positional information and navigate you through big complexes like airports and museums. Outdoors, VLR can improve the precision of GPS tenfold yielding a new level of navigational experience. Virtual and augmented reality applications are other areas that benefit from improved positioning and localization.

Se presenta un estudio etnobotanico en el territorio andino limitrofe entre la I Region y II Region de Chile, area que, historicamente, ha funcionado como un enlace entre diversas culturas andinas. Para la flora consultada (146 taxa), se registraron 384 vernaculos, correspondiendo el mayor porcentaje a las lenguas aymara-quechua (70% de los nombres). El 90% tenia utilizacion, registrandose un total de 228 usos, distribuidos en forrajes (36%), medicinas (31%) y comestibles (10%). Se registra: (a) Predominio de vernaculos aymara-quechua y etnocategorias, preferentemente, de acuerdo a la nomenclatura de la I Region; (b) Etnoclasificaciones con hasta tres niveles jerarquicos; (c) Frecuente uso del principio de opuestos complementarios, tanto en los criterios de distincion de especies como en los procedimientos terapeuticos de la flora; (d) Especies ceremoniales similares a las usadas en el extremo norte de Chile, Bolivia y Loa Superior; (e) Heterogeneidad dentro del territorio estudiado, entre las comunidades del area de Ollague y las residentes en el Oasis de Pica, tanto en las especies ceremoniales como en los nombres vernaculares. Estos rasgos destacan al area de estudio como transicional, entre las culturas del altiplano de la Region de Tarapaca y las de quebradas altas, de la Region de Antofagasta
Green biomass production and quality of essential oils of palmarosa (Cymbopogon martini Roxb.) with application of synthesis fertilizers and organic fertilizers

The use of mineral fertilizers in Cymbopogon martini Roxb. (Palmarosa) crops has been implemented in order to increase biomass and essential oil yield. Palmarosa oil is rich in geraniol and geranyl acetate, molecules with high value in the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries. Plants were obtained from the Seed Bank of the Centro Nacional de Investigacion Agroindustrial de Plantas Aromaticas y Medicinales de la Universidad Industrial de Santander (UIS) (Cenivam), Santander, Colombia. Seedlings were maintained under conditions of nursery for two months and then were taken to the experimental field, in which the survival rate in the new crop conditions was calculated. The crop was carried out in the Cenivam experimental area (07° 08' 31.68"N, 73° 07' 06.14W; 988 m.a.s.l.), in a sandy–soil clay loam. The aim of the study was to evaluate the biomass productivity and analyze the quality and yield of the essential oil obtained of the C. martini crop under three types of fertilizers: Nutrimon® 14–14–14, mineral NPK granular fertilizer for agricultural use for land application composed of ammoniacal nitrogen 10%, nitric nitrogen (4%), assimilable phosphorus (P 2 O 5 ) (14%), and water soluble potassium (K 2 O) (14%), for treatments, 2, 4 and 6 g/plant were applied locally; and a treatment with 400 g of organic fertilizer were applied. A complete random block design, with thirteen treatments and three harvests and each one, consisting of three plants as replications was used. Data were analyzed using analysis of variance, comparing the means by Tukey test at 5% probability. No correlations between biomass and essential oil yield, according to the type of fertilizer applied, were observed, that suggests that treatments that increased the biomass did not necessarily represent higher essential oil yield, and treatments whose essential oil yield increments were significant, not necessarily corresponded to the largest biomass. It was found that organic or green fertilizers could be ideal for these crops, as they allowed relatively high oil yields, with higher percentages of geraniol and its acetate.
Climate changes and tree phylogeography in the Mediterranean

The Mediterranean Basin is expected to be more strongly affected by ongoing global climate change than most other regions of the earth. Given the magnitude of forecasted trends, there are great concerns for the particularly rich biodiversity found in the region. Studies of the consequences of past climate shifts on biodiversity represent one of the best sources of data to validate models of the ecological and evolutionary consequences of future changes. Here we review recent findings from palaeoecology, phylogeography and climate change research to (1) explore possible antecedents of the predicted climate warming in the younger geological history of the Mediterranean Basin, (2) assess how tree populations have reacted to them, and (3) evaluate the significance of the evolutionary heritage that is at stake. A major question of our retrospective approach is whether Quaternary tree extinctions took place primarily during glacial or during interglacial episodes. Available data are scanty and somewhat conflicting. In contrast, abundant phylogeographic evidence clearly indicates that the bulk of genetic diversity in European temperate tree species is almost invariably located in the southernmost part of their range. Long-term persistence of isolated populations have been common phenomena in the Mediterranean, to the point that the current genetic structure in this area probably often reflects population divergence that pre-dates the onset of the Mediterranean climate in the Pliocene. In particular, Tertiary migrations into the Mediterranean of tree taxa originating from Asia seem to have left their footprints in the current genetic structure in these slowly evolving organisms. Moreover, phylogeographic studies point to heterogeneous rates of molecular evolution across lineages that are inversely related with their stability. We conclude that relict tree populations in the Mediterranean Basin represent an evolutionary heritage of disproportionate significance for the conservation of European plant biodiversity.
An Examination of the First Ten Years Under TANF in Three States The Experiences of New Jersey New York and Pennsylvania

Ten years ago, Congress reformed welfare by creating Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), which required most welfare recipients to work and imposed time limits on benefits for the first time. Recent changes to federal TANF rules place additional pressure on states to move more recipients from welfare to work. This specially commissioned report on the implementation of TANF in New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania highlights their different approaches to welfare reform and explores how these approaches may have affected caseload declines, as well as the proportion of TANF recipients who are working.
INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY FOR SOIL MECHANICS AND GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING

: This paper explores the development of an expansive soil which can be repeatedly reproduced for use in centrifuge models to investigate soil-structure interaction problems involving expansive soils. The study considered two materials, namely a sand-bentonite mixture and a naturally occurring, highly expansive clay. For the natural material, two approaches were explored to create a scaled down fissured structure for use in centrifuge testing. The swell behaviour of the two candidate materials was first investigated by means of oedometer tests and then by centrifuge modelling. The centrifuge tests consisted of layers of compacted clay slabs separated by free draining layers. The study revealed that while the sand-bentonite mixture possessed the potential to swell significantly, the time required to do so was impractical for centrifuge studies. It was however found that the approach used to create a scaled down fissured structure in the naturally occurring clay facilitated rapid ingress of water which allowed for significant heave to take place in a much shorter time frame. The results obtained from the centrifuge test conducted on the reworked clay were compared with an empirical heave prediction method and it was found that the swell obtained from the fissured clay matched the predicted heave profile within three hours. RÉSUMÉ: à savoir un mélange de sable et de bentonite et une argile naturelle très expansive. Pour le matériau naturel, deux approches ont été explorées pour créer une structure fissurée réduite pour des essais en centrifugeuses. Le gonflement des deux matériaux a été investigué par des tests de l’œdomètre suivis par une série de tests de centrifugation. Le test de centrifugation consistait en des couches de dalles d'argile compactées séparées par des couches drainantes. L'étude a révélé que, même si le mélange de sable et de bentonite avait le potentiel de gonfler de manière importante, le temps requis pour le faire n’était pas pratique pour cette présente étude. Il a toutefois été constaté que l’approche utilisée pour créer une structure fissurée réduite dans l’argile naturelle facilitait l’entrée rapide de l’eau, permettant ainsi un soulèvement important dans un délai beaucoup plus court. Les résultats du test de centrifugation effectué sur l’argile retravaillée ont été comparés à une méthode empirique de prévision du gonflement et il a été constaté que le profil de l’argile fissurée correspondait au profil de gonflement prédit en trois heures.

$%675$&7 in the identification problems of the source lines of crosstalk on printed circuit boards, the requirements on the electromagnetic interference are specified in voltage which is converted to a maximum distance. Only tracks up to the specified maximum distance are considered for the purpose of disturbance line identification. Unfortunately, tracks beyond the specified maximum distance can result in large crosstalk. This paper proposes a wavelet-based approach which takes into account all tracks that are susceptible to produce interferences regardless the separating distance between the coupled tracks. A wavelet-decomposition of the disturbed signal allows to characterize the source of disturbance by means of the energy of the detail coefficients of the decomposition which makes easier the identification of the source of disturbance.
The Occurrence of Copper—norstictic Acid in Lichens from Cupriferous Substrata

Abstract The localization of norstictic acid and copper in green, copper-rich specimens of Acarospora smaragdula and Lecidea lactea from cupriferous substrata was studied by optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and electron probe microanalysis. Infrared absorption spectroscopy of lichen material and a synthetic Cu-norstictic acid complex, and the other studies, provide evidence that complexing of copper by norstictic acid occurs within the cortex of these lichens and leads to their unusual surface coloration. Preliminary observations suggest that copper may also form a complex with psoromic acid and colour lichen thalli green. There is a strong possibility that other metal-lichen acid complexes may occur.
The Risk of Resistance Evolution in Insects to Transgenic Insecticidal Crops

The evolution of resistance in target pests to transgenic insecticidal crops is a significant environmental risk. Resistance is the phenotype of an individual that gives the individual the ability to survive on a transgenic insecticidal plant from egg to adult and produce viable offspring. The goal of insect resistance management (IRM) is to delay or prevent the occurrence of control failures from resistance by delaying or preventing the evolution of resistance. A practicable IRM strategy is necessary to attain this goal, which means that the costs associated with implementing IRM should also be considered. In addition, because of the uncertainty in IRM strategies, it is essential to allow the IRM strategy to be changed as new information becomes available. It is widely agreed that resistance evolution can be successfully managed. The simplest approach is to reduce selection pressure by maintaining refuge habitats. The high-dose/refuge strategy is by far the most widely considered and used. This strategy requires that the transgenic insecticidal crop produces a sufficiently high toxin concentration that the resistance allele is rendered recessive, and that a host plant other than the transgenic insecticidal crop is growing nearby as a refuge for the target pest or pests. The strategy works by reducing the selection pressure favouring the resistance alleles. This is done by having a larger refuge and a higher dose. The larger the refuge, the smaller the proportion of the population exposed to selection. The higher the dose, the smaller the fitness advantage of the resistant/susceptible heterozygote over the susceptible homozygote in the transgenic field. A third and quantitatively smaller effect is caused by the mingling and mating between individuals from transgenic and refuge fields, which reduces the rate of formation of resistant homozygote offspring. IRM strategies begin with resistance risk assessment to identify the pest species most at risk. Resistance monitoring is essential to track the progress of resistance evolution and to determine the success of the IRM strategy. Phenotypic monitoring methods are best suited for low-dose events and genic methods are best suited for high-dose events. Resistance risks are real, but they can be managed.

Absurdity of Gerard 't Hooft Chief Editor Foundations of Physics

It took a lot of chutzpah to write the following in response to submitting of my paper "Experiment concerning electrodynamics' nonlocality" [0]: “The approach chosen does not befit the described phenomenon. The electron is of an utterly quantummechanical nature, and can therefore not be described by classical means. ” In reality, this paper offers to interfere two laser beams, which pass through two half-wave plates, one of which is divided into two parts concentrically. Each of the parts of the plate can be rotated manually independently. Because of such a rotation, the torque works on the plate, and the light frequency changes. It results in a movement of interference fringes. Observing of this movement makes it possible to determine, where the torque is applied. No electrons are considered
The Difference of Students ’ Learning Outcomes between STAD Model and Discussion Model on Economics Subject

This research aims to identify the difference of students’ learning outcomes between STAD cooperative learning model and discussion model on economics subjects. This research was conducted at class X Senior High School 1 in Surabaya. It was an experimental study using a Nonequivalent Control Group Design research design. The total numbers of students were 140 students. Samples were taken by using purposive random sampling technique. 69 students were analyzed as sample. They were divided into two classes. One class was as a control class (X IPS3) with 35 students and another was as experimental class (X IPS1) with 34 students. Collecting data used post test and pre test. Findings show that there are differences on students’ learning outcomes significantly between STAD cooperative learning model (experimental class) and discussion (control class) on economics subjects. It is proven by the results of the calculation of the Z test was greater than 0.05 (4.679 > 0.05), hypothesis is accepted and the mean score at experimental class is higher than the control class (82.29 > 74.03). Thus; the implementation of STAD method gives good influence on students’ learning outcomes.
EFFECT OF A STRETCHING PROGRAM ON OVERHEAD ATHLETES WITH A STIFF AND PAINFUL SHOULDER

Overhead athletes are more at risk of suffering shoulder injuries or/and developing shoulder pain. Stretching programs have been shown to successfully reduce pain for this population. However no study has provided a global overview of the effects of stretching. The present study evaluated the evolution of the pain, the strength of the shoulder muscles, potential instabilities or lesion of the shoulder as well as the 3D scapular kinematics of 10 overhead athletes having a painful and stiff dominant shoulder. Our results show a significant decrease of the pain and of the positive impingement syndrome tests. The kinematics of the scapula reveals a more upward rotation of the scapula after the stretching, which may reduce the risk of sub-acromial conflicts. The strength of the internal and external rotators of the shoulder is not modified by the program.
The Minimum Wage and the Distribution of Wages: Analysing the Spillover Effects of the National Minimum Wage in the UK

This paper investigates the impact of the National Minimum Wage on the distribution of wages in the UK. Past research suggests that minimum wage spillover effects are rather small and insignificant in the UK as opposed to the USA. I address this puzzle using an empirical model employed in previous studies (Lee 1999, Manning 2003) and demonstrate that the magnitude of the estimated spillover effects is dependent on the initial assumptions about the counterfactual wage distribution. This finding implies that the emergence of the puzzle is due to the lack of a unified estimation framework capable of producing comparable results. My estimations are suggestive of a positive minimum wage spillover effect in the UK. JEL Classification: E24, J3, J31
