Privacy Advocacy from the Inside and the Outside: Implications for the Politics of Personal Data Protection in Networked Societies

Abstract For the most part, privacy and data protection laws arose not through grassroots pressure but through interactions between governmental and business elites in the context of broader international harmonization efforts. Thus, civil society activists have rarely been seen as a client constituency with equivalent weight to governmental and business interests. There is evidence, however, that the privacy advocacy network is becoming more influential in comparative context. In most countries, a network of advocates has emerged with a relatively distinct profile from the “official” data protection authorities. Individual advocates play several conflicting roles and often exist within groups with wider civil liberties, human rights, digital rights, or consumer interests. Those at the center of the privacy advocacy network possess a set of core beliefs about the importance of privacy, and as one passes to the outer edges the issue becomes more and more peripheral. Privacy advocacy is beginning to occur from both the inside, and the outside, representing an important shift in the evolution of privacy protection policy both nationally and internationally, and producing difficult tensions between the two networks.
Title: The interrelationship between personality traits and psychological constraints on adventure activity participation Authors

The popularity of adventure activities in leisure and tourism is escalating, yet little is known about how personality and perceived constraints can prevent consumption of such activities. The aim of this study was to test a model of the mediating role of psychological constraints in explaining the relationship between personality and interest in adventure activity participation. Based on a questionnaire survey of 1324 respondents, a quantitative analysis using structural equation modelling (SEM) was carried out. The results show that personality does influence psychological constraints, which in turn have a significant negative effect on adventure activity participation. Increased knowledge about the constraints to adventure activity participation can contribute to realizing the full development potential that lies in adventure consumption in leisure and tourism. Implications of the research can prove valuable in both leisure and tourism marketing and management.
The Impact of Inheritance on the Distribution of Wealth: Evidence from Great Britain

Using the British Household Panel Survey, we investigate the role of inheritance in shaping the distribution of household wealth in Great Britain during 1995–2005a period characterized by a substantial increase in wealth and an equally important decrease in wealth inequality. Abstracting from behavioral effects, we find that inheritances received during this period accounted for 30 percent of the increase in wealth of inheritors. Regression estimates of the effect of inheritance on wealth accumulation suggest that households spend 30 percent of their inheritances on average, and that there is substantial heterogeneity in household responses. Households that accumulated more wealth saved a larger share of their inheritances, as did middle aged households and those with lower initial wealth. Although inheritances are highly unequal they had a small impact on overall wealth inequality. This mainly reflected the fact that their size relative to other sources of wealth was very small.
INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CURRENT RESEARCH IN BIOLOGY AND MEDICINE

This study aimed to obtain isolates of endophytic fungi from several local aromatic rice varieties in South Sulawesi that can be used as agents of plant growth promoter. Isolation of endophytic fungi carried out at the roots, stems and leaves of rice plants. Fungal isolates were purified tested for its ability to produce the hormone indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and test the growth of rice seed.

Eveline Russo Sacramento An Approach for Dealing with Inconsistencies in Data Mashups

Sacramento, Eveline Russo; Casanova, Marco Antonio (Advisor). An Approach for Dealing with Inconsistencies in Data Mashups. Rio de Janeiro, 2015. 100p. D.Sc. Thesis Departamento de Informática, Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio de Janeiro. With the amount of data available on the Web, consumers can “mashup” and quickly integrate data from different sources belonging to the same application domain. However, data mashups constructed from independent and heterogeneous data sources may contain inconsistencies and, therefore, puzzle the user when observing the data. This thesis addresses the problem of creating a consistent data mashup from mutually inconsistent data sources. Specifically, it deals with the problem of testing, when data to be combined is inconsistent with respect to a predefined set of constraints. The main contributions of this thesis are: (1) the formalization of the notion of consistent data mashups by treating the data returned from the data sources as a default theory and considering a consistent data mashup as an extension of this theory; (2) a model checker for a family of Description Logics, which analyzes and separates consistent from inconsistent data and also tests the consistency and completeness of the obtained data mashups; (3) a heuristic procedure for computing such consistent data mashups.
Pictorial materials used in the polychrome decorations of the façade of the palace of King Pedro I (The Royal Alcazar of Seville, Spain)

This research has been conducted on the architectural decoration of the facade of the Palace of King Pedro I (The Royal Alcazar of Seville, Spain). The stratigraphic study of pictorial layers has revealed numerous interventions made on the polychrome decorations that have been related to those referenced in historical documents. Mineralogical and compositional studies of the natural and synthetic pigments and their alteration have provided an independent chronology for the polychrome decorations. Finally, this study has revealed the importance of colour of the decorative elements over the history of the palace.
Redescription of Lineus acutifrons Southern, 1913 (Nemertea: Pilidiophora) and comments on its phylogenetic position

The nemertean Lineus acutifrons Southern (1913) is a species rarely encountered in sandy beaches of Europe and is only really known from its original and short description. This species has been found almost a century later in Galician sandy beaches (northwest Spain) and is re-described here. Data detailing its internal morphology and external anatomy, and digital photographs are included. In addition, sequences of the ribosomal gene 28S and the mitochondrial gene cytochrome oxidase I (CO1) were obtained. These sequences were used in a phylogenetic analysis to test its phylogenetic position with respect to other sequences available for pilidiophorans.
Status of the Asian Elephant Population in Mudumalai Wildlife Sanctuary, Southern India

The present study was done primarily to address this shortcoming. Taking the baseline study done in the mid-1980 (Daniel et al. 1987) as a starting point, the present study attempts to record the cumulative changes that have taken place in the elephant population in Mudumalai Wildlife Sanctuary over the past 12 years. The study by Daniel et al. (1987) used a reasonably accurate but time-consuming method of estimating the population using the ratio between known and unknown elephants encountered during the study. Elephants were individually identified using natural markings like tusk/tush size and shape, cuts and holes in the ears and tail length and hair pattern (Douglas-Hamilton 1972). The differences in the methods used to estimate population, minor differences in the area sampled and the inability to attribute absolute accuracy and the precision to the past and the present density estimates rule out estimating absolute changes in the densities. However, considering the time interval between the two studies and also management requirements of knowing gross changes and trends in the population, the present comparison and results should be more than adequate for management purposes. The limitations, as can be expected in any study, have been highlighted in the beginning itself not to detract from the merits of the study but to ensure that readers’ focus and debate are channelled towards management implications of the results rather than remaining fixed totally and unproductively on the academic merits of the study. The study was carried out between January 1999 and February 2000 with three major objectives of estimating population density, the age–sex structure and determining the accumulated changes in the population over the past 12 years using the earlier study (Daniel et al. 1987) as baseline. Introduction
Examination of Selected Precursors and Outcomes of Sales Manager Behaviors

A model is proposed and tested that represents how salespeople perceive and respond to their sales managers’ behaviors. Tests of the model indicated that salespeople’s perceptions of their managers’ behaviors influenced their satisfaction with the sales manager but not their overall satisfaction with the job. A direct implication of the adjusted model was that sales managers need to be trained to exert positive behaviors and establish consistent reinforcements for positive behaviors in order to develop a favorable working relationship. However, the company more so than the sales manager was viewed as responsible for providing a climate that facilitates learning. A learning-oriented climate facilitated both self-efficacy beliefs and overall job satisfaction of salespeople. Satisfied salespeople were likely to intend to remain with the company.
Research to regulation: Cougar social behavior as a guide for management

evenly across the landscape. We also propose replacing the term “quota” with “harvest threshold” because quotas often connote a harvest target or goal rather than a threshold not to exceed. In Washington, USA, where the source‐sink concept is implemented, research shows that high harvest rates may not accomplish the intended population reduction objectives due to immigration, resulting in an altered population age structure and social organization. We recommend a harvest strategy based on a population growth rate of 14% and a resident adult density of 1.7 cougars/100 km 2 that represent probable average values for western populations ofcougars. Our proposal offers managers an opportunity to preserve behavioral and demographic attributes of cougar populations, provide recreational harvest, and accomplish a variety of management objectives. We believe this science-based approach to cougar management is easy to implement, incurs few if any added costs, satisfies agency and stakeholder interests, assures professional credibility, and may be applied throughout their range in western North America. 2013 The Wildlife Society.
ADIPOSE-DERIVED STEM CELLS IN TISSUE ENGINEERING: LABORATORY TO BEDSIDE

Human adipose tissue has been recognized as an alternative source of adult stem cells. The abundance and ease of harvest of adipose tissue has made it suitable for use in regenerative medicine and tissue engineering. Adipose-derived stem cells isolated from human adipose tissue are able to differentiate into several mesenchymal lineages and secrete growth factors that exhibit therapeutic potential. Protein profiles have been established using various isolation methods, which has expanded researchers' understanding of adipose-derived stem cells in clinical applications. This review highlights the properties, isolation methods, immunophenotype and clinical applications of adipose-derived stem cells.
Hospital and meat associated Staphylococcus aureus and Their Biofilm Characteristics

Hospital and Meat Associated Staphylococcus aureus and Their Biofilm Characteristics Trevor Michael Wienclaw Department of Microbiology and Molecular Biology, BYU Master of Science Biofilm phenotypes were studied in 32 Staphylococcus aureus strains isolated from storebought meats and 22 from diseased patients in hospitals. Of the meat-associated strains, 21 were methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and 11 were methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA). The hospital-associated strains included 15 MRSAs and 7 MSSAs. We studied the robustness and composition of the biofilms produced by these strains. We found that on average hospital-associated strains form more robust biofilms than meat associated strains. The model often used to describe S. aureus biofilm composition includes two biofilm types defined by the presence or absence of polysaccharide intercellular adhesin (PIA), PIA-dependent and PIA-independent respectively. In this model, PIA-independent biofilms are structurally reliant on proteins and extracellular DNA (eDNA) and PIA-dependent are structurally reliant on polysaccharides. Enzymatic degradation of the extracellular matrix can reveal which compounds are essential for the structural integrity of the biofilm, and by this model PIA-independent biofilms should be susceptible to both DNase and proteinase K. We found that hospital-associated strains are, on average, more susceptible to degradation by proteinase K. Interestingly, hospital-associated strains are less susceptible to degradation by DNase than meat-associated strains. Finding that proteinase K and DNase susceptibility for these strains are not linked gives evidence to support the idea that S. aureus biofilm composition can vary greatly from strain to strain and that the PIA-dependent and PIA-independent dichotomy of the standard model may be insufficient to describe the variety of S. aureus biofilm composition and may only apply to the extremes of the spectrum. Additionally, we saw no relationship between MRSA or MSSA strains and biofilm robustness, proteinase K degradation, or DNase degradation. Differences in biofilm characteristics between hospital-associated and meatassociated strains reinforce previous findings that these populations are genetically distinct.

Vegetation responses to site, elevation and land use in semi-arid rangeland of Southern Ethiopia

The dynamics of rangeland vegetation are products of spatial and temporal land use that determine rangeland productivity and conservation of biodiversity. This study examined effects of site, elevation, land use and season on vegetation attributes at three sites in Dida-Hara, southern Ethiopia. Herbaceous plant attributes (that is, above-ground herbaceous biomass, basal cover, plants’ density, species richness, diversity index and evenness), as well as woody plants characteristics such as density and species richness were measured. Herbaceous and woody vegetation variables were examined by season and land use types (that is, enclosures vs. open-grazed areas) across three sites and two altitudes. The results showed that all vegetation attributes were greatly affected by site, land use type and season. Herbaceous vegetation attributes such as biomass, basal cover and herbaceous species richness were more affected by land use types and season. Elevation affected herbaceous vegetation characteristics such as basal cover, herbaceous species diversity and woody richness. Effects of site differences in terms of herbaceous biomass were common during the dry season. Grass diversity was significantly affected by site, elevation, land use type, season and altitude across spatial and temporal scales. Herbaceous biomass was significantly higher in enclosure than in the communal land use type whereas herbaceous biomass showed a declining trend with increased density of woody plants. Key words: Vegetation attributes, rangeland, grazing pressure, elevation, site, land-use, season.
Behavioral Biases in Auctions: An Experimental Study

This paper investigates implications of some of the well-known behavioral biases of bidders' behavior in different types of auctions. It presents the results of an experimental study that tests the endowment hypothesis for English auctions and regret aversion hypothesis for first-price sealed-bid auctions. This study documents support for the former and no support for the latter hypotheses.
OntoPilot: New Software to Simplify and Accelerate Ontology Development and Deployment

Ontologies (formal descriptions of the concepts and relationships that can exist in knowledge domains) provide the conceptual foundations for modern knowledge representation systems and knowledge bases, and they are a core component of automated reasoning pipelines that infer new facts from existing data. Although a variety of software tools are available for authoring and manipulating ontologies, ontology development remains a technically demanding, time consuming, and often tedious task. In this talk, I will introduce OntoPilot, new software that endeavors to at least partially replace the current patchwork of disparate ontology development tools with a single, unified development framework that is easy to learn and requires minimal knowledge of the technical details of ontology description languages. OntoPilot uses familiar tabular document formats (e.g., spreadsheets) as ontology "source code", which means that domain experts without detailed knowledge of ontology-related technologies can still directly participate in the development process. OntoPilot supports a complete ontology development workflow, including reusing terms from external ontologies, defining new terms, managing releases, and generating end-user documentation. Furthermore, OntoPilot makes it easy to build inference pipelines that use ontologies to generate novel insights from existing data. OntoPilot is open-source software, supports all major operating systems, and is freely available at https://github.com/stuckyb/ontopilot/. ‡ § © Stucky B, Luc A.

Adaptation of Distance Measurements For Range Sampling.

Modification of a distance measurement technique (the angle-order method) for estimating density, herbage production, and ground cover was tested in 1960 and 1961 at the U. S. Sheep Experiment Station in Idaho. Estimates of plant density and herbage production obtained by the angle-order method were compared with estimates on 9.6and 96-squarefoot plots, and estimates of cover were compared with estimates from line intercepts on 10-meter lines. Several limitations inherent in use of the angle-order method render it unsuitable for sampling complete plant communities of sagebrushgrass rangeland, but it may be used efficiently for estimating density, production, and ground cover for one or two key species.
