The interplay of individual differences, norms, and group identification in predicting prejudiced behavior in online video game interactions

Videogames are an increasingly popular form of entertainment. More than two billion people worldwide (Wijman, 2018) and sixty-five percent of Americans play video games (Entertainment Software Association [ESA], 2019). The size of the video game streaming industry is growing rapidly as well (e.g., 140 million unique viewers watch video games streamed on Twitch TV, an online streaming service, each month; Smith, 2019). Video games can have positive consequences, both social (Trepte, Reinecke, & Juechems, 2012) and cognitive (Granic, Lobel, & Engels, 2014; Green & Bavelier, 2012; Spence & Feng, 2010). As well, video games have the potential to improve intergroup relations by providing opportunities for intergroup contact (Adachi, Hodson, Willoughby, Blank, & Ha, 2016; Adachi, Hodson, Willoughby, & Zanette, 2015). However, video games are also known for negative effects, such as the impact of sexualized female characters on attitudes toward women (Burgess, Stermer, & Burgess, 2007; Dill, Gentile, Richter, & Dill, 2005; Downs & Smith, 2010) and the toxic environment and frequency of prejudice in online video games (Ballard & Welch, 2015; Fox & Tang, 2017; Gray, 2012; Kuznekoff & Rose, 2012; McLean & Griffiths, 2019; Ortiz, 2019; Sliwinski, 2007). Online games are a popular subset of video games—in 2019, adult American gamers spent an average of 4.8 hours per week playing with others online (ESA, 2019).

Anatomical characterization of wood decay patterns in Hevea brasiliensis and Pinus merkusii caused by white-rot fungi: Polyporus arcularius and Pycnoporus sanguineus

Biological pulping is an environmentally friendly process for making pulp and paper whereby the wood raw material is pre-treated with selective delignifying white-rot fungi. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to determine the decay patterns of white-rot fungi Polyporus arcularius and Pycnoporus sanguineus, as well as its ability to decay Hevea brasiliensis (as hardwood) and Pinus merkusii (as softwood) by observing the anatomical characteristics. Fungal attack testing on wood was carried out by the Kolle-flask method with a variation of 6, 9, and 12 weeks incubation time. The structure of wood cells was analyzed using wood incision method, followed by a combination of safranin-picro aniline blue and safranin-astra blue, and maceration method. The results showed that H. brasiliensis wood has a higher percentage of weight loss than P. merkusii wood. Wood attacked by P. sanguineus showed a higher weight loss compared to the P. arcularius. The decay pattern of P. sanguineus infected wood was concluded as selective delignification in P. merkusii and simultaneous delignification in H. brasiliensis while those infected with P. arcularius both performed simultaneous delignification. In the early stages of decay, selective delignification is characterized by the formation of intercellular space due to degradation of lignin in the middle lamella, while simultaneous delignification is characterized by cell wall thinning. The anatomical structure of H. brasiliensis attacked by the white-rot fungi showed differences with P.merkusii, whereby the ray cells of P.merkusii wood was more degraded than in H. brasiliensis.
Ultrasonic augmentation in pool boiling heat transfer over external surfaces: A review

Boiling heat transfer is known for high heat fluxes at relatively small temperature differences. However, over the decades, technological innovations have demanded further augmentation in heat fluxes associated with boiling. Among the various active and passive methods, use of ultrasonic waves in boiling liquid has emerged as a proven technique for the required heat transfer improvement as demonstrated by a number of researchers. The present article reviews the application of ultrasonic waves in enhancing the heat transfer in various regimes of pool boiling. It has been found that the use of ultrasonic field is more promising in case of sub-cooled boiling as compared to saturated condition. Along with ultrasonic field of lower frequency and higher power, the usage of various passive techniques of surface improvement such as micro channel, surface topology, nano coatings etc. leads to further augmentation of heat transfer. Also, the relative placement of heating surface in ultrasonic wave field must be considered inevitably while designing an ultrasonic field assisted pool boiling system. It requires further investigations to conduct more parametric studies such as effect of pressure along with the usage of ultrasonic waves during sub- cooled boiling. Also during ultrasonic assisted pool boiling, various nano fluids can be tested for improving the heat transfer characteristics particularly in the saturated nucleate boiling regime.
Control System Development for the Three-Ports ANPC Converter

This paper proposes a control system for the single-phase Three-Ports Active Neutral- Point-Clamped (ANPC-3P) converter, which can inject a sinusoidal current into the grid, balance the neutral point voltage, and regulate the energy storage system (ESS) current with reduced low-frequency ripple. Despite other applications, ANPC-3P inverter can be used in grid-tied renewable generation to allow the simultaneous connection of a photovoltaic (PV) energy source and an ESS to the AC grid. The ESS is connected directly to the inverter circuit without any auxiliary DC-DC converter, but due to the DC bus pulsed power, it can be subjected to low-frequency current ripple. This undesired current ripple is difficult to filter and can lead to shorter battery life. A control system based on well-known controllers is analyzed and designed. Theoretical analysis is validated experimentally using a single-phase 1-kW prototype.
Perception of Organizational Support in the Superintendence of Management of Public Administrative Expenses of the Government of the State of Rondônia

This research was motivated by the need to identify what is the relationship between organizational support provided by the Superintendence of the Public Administrative Expenses Management – SUGESP to its servants, the perception of servants of this support and to the concepts of sustainability. The general objective is to assess the relationship between the organizational support offered by SUGESP and the perception of employees. Theoretical aspects were addressed, such as the theory of Organizational Support, the conceptualization of the importance of employee satisfaction for the success of organizations, the Theory of Organizational Support, concepts of Public Administration and sustainable development. The methodology employed is quantitative approach, the search strategy used was the case study and study procedures were done through document analysis. Data collection was carried out by applying a self-administered questionnaire to a sample of employees working at SUGESP, as well as with the managers of the Superintendence. At the end of the research, it was identified that the average responses from the interviewed employees point out that they are indifferent to the perception of organizational support, while the manager, in the direct affirmative questions, identifies that the support offered is indifferent. In the inverse affirmative questions, he agrees that there is effective support. It was also identified that approximately 56% of the employees do not have a clear understanding of the concepts of sustainability, a fact that influences the achievement of objectives and goals defined by managers.
Why enter the church on holiday? Tourist encounters with the Basilica of Santa Maria in Trastevere, Rome

ABSTRACT The tourist is constantly seeking out new experiences, and there is a growing interest in experiences at religious sites. This article examines tourists’ church experience, and what meaning it gives, and what motivates tourists to visit a church on their holiday. With a particular focus on the individual’s experience creation, the article looks into the tourist’s personal experience inside a church, as manifested in a context characterized through religion and tourism. This study is based on data collected through interviews with 15 visitors to the Basilica of Santa Maria in Trastevere, Rome. The findings demonstrate tourists’ ability to block out the presence of other people, and their emphasis on finding inner peace. While the church is highlighted as a kind of sanctuary for reflection, where regaining harmony is mentioned as one of the most meaningful aspects of the experience, religion as a driving force is largely absent from the data. The findings of this study provide new knowledge with regard to tourists’ church experiences, and provide insight into the individual meaning making involved. The findings also show the complexity of the tourists’ motive to search for church experiences.
ABGS: A System for the Automatic Generation of Building Information Models from Two-Dimensional CAD Drawings

Building Information Modeling (BIM) refers to 3D-based digital modeling of buildings and infrastructure for efficient design, construction, and management. Governments have recognized and encouraged BIM as a primary method for enabling advanced construction technologies. However, BIM is not universally employed in industries, and most designers still use Computer-Aided Design (CAD) drawings, which have been used for several decades. This is because the initial costs for setting up a BIM work environment and the maintenance costs involved in using BIM software are substantially high. With this motivation, we propose a novel software system that automatically generates BIM models from two-dimensional (2D) CAD drawings. This is highly significant because only 2D CAD drawings are available for most of the existing buildings. Notably, such buildings can benefit from the BIM technology using our low-cost conversion system. One of the common problems in existing methods is possible loss of information that may occur during the process of conversion from CAD to BIM because they mainly focus on creating 3D geometric models for BIM by using only floor plans. The proposed method has an advantage of generating BIM that contains property information in addition to the 3D models by analyzing floor plans and other member lists in the input design drawings together. Experimental results show that our method can quickly and accurately generate BIM models from 2D CAD drawings.
Regulation of the biosynthesis of the food-borne Bacillus cereus toxin cereulide

Within the present study, regulation of the nonribosomal synthesis of the depsipeptide toxin cereulide was characterized on a molecular level. Cereulide is produced by emetic Bacillus cereus strains and intoxications occasionally lead to lethal food-borne illnesses. Therefore, a lux-based reporter strain was used to establish a novel and rapid risk assessment system to monitor toxin synthesis in food. Furthermore, this study shows that long-chain polyphosphates, which are widely used food additives in the dairy and meat industry, inhibit cereulide synthesis in a targeted manner. By means of molecular and biochemical techniques, it was shown that cereulide synthesis is controlled by complex regulatory networks that integrate extrinsic as well as intrinsic factors, such as transcriptional regulators and the metabolic cell status. This knowledge might contribute to improve food safety and consumer protection concepts in the future
Experimental Study on The Performance of Trans-Critical Carbon Dioxide Refrigeration System Using Porous Evaporator

Article history: Received 29 October 2019 Received in revised form 4 May 2020 Accepted 9 May 2020 Available online 15 August 2020 An experimental study on the performance of trans-critical carbon dioxide refrigeration system is conducted when using porous evaporator for different evaporation temperatures, ranging from (-2°C to 8°C), different gas cooler outlet temperatures ranging from (38°C to 49°C) and different porosities (empty tube (porosity = 100%)), 45%, 41% and 38% porous tube). Variations of refrigeration capacity with gas cooler outlet temperatures for different evaporator porosities were studied. Coefficient of performance as a function of gas cooler outlet temperature, gas cooler outlet pressure and evaporation temperature were investigated for different evaporator porosities. Pressure drop in porous evaporator as a function of evaporation temperature for different porosities is studied. Effects of evaporation temperature and evaporator porosity on power consumption per ton of refrigeration were also, studied. An average increase of about 40% and 64% in refrigeration capacity and COP were predicted, respectively, when decreasing gas cooler out let temperature from 49°C to 38°C and using evaporator with 38% porosity. Coefficient of performance of CO2 transcritical refrigeration system increases with increasing gas cooler pressure up to an optimum value and then it decreases at large values of gas cooler pressures. Power consumption per ton of refrigeration (PCTR) reached minimum values at low evaporation temperatures and low evaporator porosities with an average percentage decrease of about 38%. An increase of pressure drop was also, recorded during the evaporation process when evaporation temperature increased, and evaporator porosity decreased.
Virulence Profile of an Emerging Coagulase Negative Staphylococcus auricularis NC Clinical Isolate

Coagulase negative Staphylococci are emerging pathogenic bacteria, associated particularly with abiotic medical prosthetic surfaces. A multiple drug resistant biofilm forming strain of Staphylococcus auricularis NC isolate, an infrequently associated coagulase negative Staphylococci from intraocular lenses of post operative endophthalmitis case was isolated and its virulence characteristics studied. Multiple drug resistant, biofilm former and coagulase positive Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 33592 was used as a reference strain. Herein we report the biofilm formation ability and resistance to oxidative stress in the biofilm growth of Staphylococcus auricularis. This emerging pathogenic isolate showed resistant to over 16 different antibiotics of all classes including novobiocin. As a strong biofilm former it also showed resistance to oxidative stress (25mM H2O2, 50mM H2O2, 500 µM sodium nitroprusside as nitric oxide donor) but not to high osmotic stress (9.5% NaCl). This study is of basic interest to the field of emerging infectious agents, particularly infrequently isolated coagulase negative Staphylococci auricularis in medical microbiology.
The macroeconomics of gender equality

This study investigates the association between gender gap and economic progress. Using a panel VAR study as well as a comprehensive gender gap index and its sub-indices from the World Economic Forum, the study confirms the existence of bidirectional Granger causality between gender gap and economic progress, for OECD countries and developing countries. On the one hand, economic progress encourages equity for both sexes. On the other hand, gender equity helps developing nations prosper and significantly improve their human capital, which, in turn, drives long-run economic progress. By contrast, closing the gender gap negatively affects OECD output. For the sample of developing countries, the aforementioned results are robust to sub-indices measured by gender gap in economic participation as well as opportunity, educational attainment, and political empowerment. We recommend that gender policies specifically aim at eliminating gaps in female education.
Triggering the Indian Ocean Dipole From the Southern Hemisphere

This study identifies a new triggering mechanism of the Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) from the Southern Hemisphere. This mechanism is independent from the El Niño‐Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and tends to induce the IOD before its canonical peak season. The joint effects of this mechanism and ENSO may explain different lifetimes and strengths of the IOD. During its positive phase, development of sea surface temperature cold anomalies commences in the southern Indian Ocean, accompanied by an anomalous subtropical high system and anomalous southeasterly winds. The eastward movement of these anomalies enhances the monsoon off Sumatra‐Java during May–August, leading to an early positive IOD onset. The pressure variability in the subtropical area is related with the Southern Annular Mode, suggesting a teleconnection between high‐latitude and midlatitude climate that can further affect the tropics. To include the subtropical signals may help model prediction of the IOD event.

Treatment of seafood industrial wastewater coupled with electricity production using air cathode microbial fuel cell under saline condition

The present study investigated seafood industrial wastewater treatment with corresponding power generation in air cathode microbial fuel cell under saline condition (40 g/L). The results recorded total chemical oxygen demand) removal of 52 ± 1.8%, 64 ± 1.1%, 85 ± 1.2%, 89 ± 1.4%, and 76 ± 1.2% to the corresponding organic load (OL) of 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.25, and 1.5 gCOD/L under saline condition. Soluble chemical oxygen demand reduction was in the range of 46% to 78% at OL of 0.5 to 1.5 gCOD/L. The maximum power density (530 ± 15 mW/m2) and coulombic efficiency (52 ± 2.4%) was procured at the OL of 1.25 and 0.5 gCOD/L, respectively. Total suspended solids removal was 74 ± 1.5% at OL of 1.25 gCOD/L and 64 ± 1.3% at OL 1.5 gCOD/L. Bacterial community analysis for anode region samples for OL 0.5 and 1 gCOD/L was extensively dominated by Bacillus (MN880233) with 75.8% and 55.8%, respectively. Interestingly at 1.25 gCOD/L OL, Rhodococcus (MN880237) was predominant (42.3%) strain in the anode region and recorded high power production under saline condition. Sludge samples subjected to phylogenetic analysis explored the dominance of Clostridium, Turicibacter, and Marinobacter at different OL from 0.5 to 1.5 gCOD/L. Bacterial community results at 1.25 gCOD/L of OL sludge samples revealed completely different strains of dominancy in the community. Marinobacter (53.3%), Ochrobactrum (19.3%), and Bacillus (8.1%). Thus, the phylogenetic analysis of the anodic and sludge samples clearly detailed the presence of halophilic bacterial strains with high potential to treat seafood processing industrial wastewater and excellent exoelectrogenic activity for power production.
Task-Related EEG Source Localization via Graph Regularized Low-Rank Representation Model

To infer brain source activation patterns under different cognitive tasks is an integral step to understand how our brain works. Traditional electroencephalogram (EEG) Source Imaging (ESI) methods usually do not distinguish task-related and spurious non-task-related sources that jointly generate EEG signals, which inevitably yield misleading reconstructed activation patterns. In this research, we argue that the task-related source signal intrinsically has a low-rank property, which is exploited to to infer the true task-related EEG sources location. Although the true task-related source signal is sparse and low-rank, the contribution of spurious sources scattering over the source space with intermittent activation patterns makes the actual source space lose the low-rank property. To reconstruct a low-rank true source, we propose a novel ESI model that involves a spatial low-rank representation and a temporal Laplacian graph regularization, the latter of which guarantees the temporal smoothness of the source signal and eliminate the spurious ones. To solve the proposed model, an augmented Lagrangian objective function is formulated and an algorithm in the framework of alternating direction method of multipliers is proposed. Numerical results illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method in terms of reconstruction accuracy with high effciency.
MICROSATELLITES ANALISIS FOR THE STUDY OF BIODIVERSITY AND TRACEABILITY OF THE PIG

Traceability of animals and animal products has a priority for governments of the European countries. The great development reached by the molecular genetic in last decades, has determined a high knowledge of the genome of the different species. The Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) of each animal is different (with the exceptions of monozygotic twins and clones). Since the genome of each animal contains approximately three billion DNA units, the range for variation among the DNA sequences of animals is enormous, consequently DNA markers analysis allows assuring a traceability of 100% in the meat industry. A methodology using 17 ISAG (International Society for Animal Genetics) DNA microsatellite markers is proposed for meat traceability. Principal methods used to reveal DNA polymorphism are described as their applicability in species identification and meat traceability. The objective it was analysis the DNA profile of pig with 10 microsatellite markers and results of meat identity control.
Effects of Self-Control on Cheating Among Indonesian College Students

Cheating among college students has long been a concern in the academic field. In addressing this problem, it is imperative to determine in what circumstances college students cheat. Looking into the internal factor, previous research found that the depletion of self-control increased the probability of cheating. To determine whether this result could be replicated in an Indonesian population, we conducted an experimental study. A sample of 63 undergraduates was randomized into two groups, a self-control depletion group (had difficult essay-writing task) and a self-control no-depletion group (had an easy essay-writing task). After writing the essay, the participants were then asked to complete a knowledge task directly on the test sheet and then copy their answers into a pre-marked sheet. Cheating was determined as modified answers from the test sheet to the pre-marked sheet. The results showed a significant difference in modified answers between the depleted and non-depleted self-control group (t = 2.09, p < 0.05). This finding indicates that depletion of self-control affects cheating. This study has a meaningful implication for determining the ideal setting in which the university should conduct their examinations.
Double hypergeometric Lévy processes and self-similarity

Abstract Motivated by a recent paper (Budd (2018)), where a new family of positive self-similar Markov processes associated to stable processes appears, we introduce a new family of Lévy processes, called the double hypergeometric class, whose Wiener–Hopf factorisation is explicit, and as a result many functionals can be determined in closed form.
