Analysing the Dynamics and Fucntionality of Sectoral Innovation Systems - a manual

Various researchers and policy analysts have experimented with empirical studies of sectoral innovation systems (SIS), in which attempts have been made to understand the current structure of various innovation systems and trace their dynamics. We have captured the dynamics in terms of not only the structural components of a SIS but also pioneered such an analysis in terms of functional patterns (as well as functionality). In a collaborative work with VINNOVA (the Swedish Agency for Innovation Systems), we have taken the analysis one step further and made explicit a scheme of analysis, or a manual for policy makers. The manual is based on the received literature, our prior experience in developing and applying functional thinking and three experimental case studies, conducted in collaboration with VINNOVA. The manual can be used by policy makers to identify not only the key policy issues but also to set policy goals and to assess the usefulness of various policy instruments.
The Effectiveness of Customer Participation and Affective Misforecasting in Online Post-Recovery Satisfaction

Online service recovery is directly related to customer follow-up behavior and plays a central role in the sustainable service-oriented enterprise development. This study explored the influence mechanism about how the type of customer participation (physical, mental, and emotional) improves customers’ post-recovery satisfaction by reducing negative bias. Furthermore, the moderating effect of the information format of opening remarks (informal, formal, or hybrid) on the relationship between customer participation and affective misforecasting was investigated. A total of 720 Chinese individuals participated in an online experiment. The results show that, first, only mental and physical participation can improve customers’ post-recovery satisfaction, whereas emotional participation cannot. Second, the direction of affective misforecasting is a mediator between customer participation and post-recovery satisfaction, and compared with negative bias (feeling worse than forecasted), when customers form positive bias (feeling better than forecasted), their post-recovery satisfaction is higher. Third, the fit of the information format of the opening remarks and customer participation type can make customers feel better than forecasted—to generate higher post-recovery satisfaction, for physical and mental participation specifically, the formal format of opening remarks is most suitable, whereas for emotional participation, the hybrid format of opening remarks is most suitable.
Long-term evolutionof the effect of bran ingestionon meal-inducedglucose and insulin responses in healthy man13

The long-term effect (7 wk) of the addition in the diet of 20 g of wheat bran was studied in five healthy subjects. Blood glucose and plasma insulin were assayed during test- meals taking place before (I), then 10 days (II), 24 days (III), and 45 days(IV) after daily ingestion of wheat bran. Bran addition leads to a time progressive reduction of meal-induced glucose response. This effect was the strongest during meal III, at 30 mm (from 7.38 ± 0.11 to 5.0 ± 1.1 1 mmol/l; p < 0.05) and at 60 mm (from 5.94 ± 0.61 to 3.88 ± 0.78 mmol/l; p < 0.05). Insulin response remained identical during the first three test meals. It increased then in a significant manner during meal IV, at 60 mm (From 45.5 ± 12.3 to 61.8 ± 8.9 �iU/ml; p < 0.02), and at 120 mm (from 41.2 ± 16.3 to 61.0 ± 16.0 ��U/ml; p < 0.05). The causesof the reduction of glucose response could be potential gastric emptying and intestinal transit increases. The exact mechanism of the improved long-term glucose tolerance seen in bran is not obvious nor is the reason for the enhanced insulin response seen later. Am J Clin Nutr 1984:40:1023- 1026.
Room Visits Among Uninsured Patients in a County Health System Impact of Patient-Centered Medical Home Assignment on Emergency

The Medical Services Initiative program—a safety net–based system of care— in Orange County included assignment of uninsured, low-income residents to a patient-centered medical home. The medical home provided case management, a team-based approach for treating disease, and increased access to primary and specialty care among other elements of a patient-centered medical home. Providers were paid an enhanced fee and pay-for-performance incentives to ensure delivery of comprehensive treatment. Medical Services Initiative enrollees who were assigned to a medical home for longer time periods were less likely to have any emergency room (ER) visits or multiple ER visits. Switching medical homes three or more times was associated with enrollees being more likely to have any ER visits or multiple ER visits. The findings provide evidence that successful implementation of the patient-centered medical home model in a county-based safety net system is possible and can reduce unnecessary ER use.

Extracting Taklimakan Dust Parameters from AIRS with Artificial Neural Network Method

Two back-propagation artificial neural network retrieval models have been developed for obtaining the dust aerosol optical depth (AOD) and dust-top height (DTH), respectively, from Atmospheric InfraRed Sounder (AIRS) brightness temperature (BT) measurements over Taklimakan Desert area. China Aerosol Remote Sensing Network (CARSNET) measurements at Tazhong station were used for dust AOD validation. Results show that the correlation coefficient of dust AODs between AIRS and CARSNET reaches 0.88 with a deviation of −0.21, which is the same correlation coefficient as the AIRS dust AOD and the Moderate-Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) aerosol optical depth (AOD) product. In the AIRS DTH retrieval model, there is an option to include the collocated MODIS deep blue (DB) AOD as additional input for daytime retrieval; the independent dust heights from Cloud-Aerosol Lidar with Orthogonal Polarization (CALIOP) are used for AIRS DTH validation, and results show that the DTHs derived from the combined AIRS BT measurements and MODIS DB AOD product have better accuracy than those from AIRS BT measurements alone. The correlation coefficient of DTHs between AIRS and independent CALIOP dust heights is 0.79 with a standard deviation of 0.41 km when MODIS DB AOD product is included in the retrieval model. A series of case studies from different seasons were examined to demonstrate the feasibility of retrieving dust parameters from AIRS and potential applications. The method and approaches can be applied to process measurements from advanced infrared (IR) sounder and high-resolution imager onboard the same platform.
Rheological Optimization and Stability Study of Silver Nano-Ink for InkJet Printing of Solar Electrodes Using Industrial Printhead

We have demonstrated the capability of printing silver electrodes for solar cells having line width below 100 μm using inkjet printing. To achieve this, we have produced silver nanoparticles using the polyol synthesis and have tailored the ink formulation by choosing a solvent mixture to meet the rheological requirements of industrial printheads. A solvent mixture that can suspend the ligand capped silver nanoparticle was developed while maintaining the necessary rheology. A desktop R&D printer, the LP50 developed by Pix-Dro, has been used for the jetting optimization for the printhead used here. Statistical analysis of the jetting process was conducted using printer integrated software. Typical printing parameters such as greyscale, DPI variation and substrate heating were optimized to achieve high print quality. Tests of the dispersion showed that there was no sedimentation for more than a month. Solar collector network prototypes were successfully printed on silicon and ITO substrates.
K-CUSUM: Cluster Detection Mechanism in EDMON

The main goal of the EDMON (Electronic Disease Monitoring Network) project is to detect the spread of contagious diseases at the earliest possible moment, and potentially before people know that they have been infected. The results shall be visualized on real-time maps as well as presented in digital communication. In this paper, a hybrid of K-nearness Neighbor (KNN) and cumulative sum (CUSUM), known as K-CUSUM, were explored and implemented with a prototype approach. The KNN algorithm, which was implemented in the KCUSUM, recorded 99.52% accuracy when it was tested with simulated dataset containing geolocation coordinates among other features and SckitLearn KNN algorithm achieved an accuracy of 93.81% when it was tested with the same dataset. After injection of spikes of known outbreaks in the simulated data, the CUSUM module was totally specific and sensitive by correctly identifying all outbreaks and non-outbreak clusters. Suitable methods for obtaining a balance point of anonymizing geolocation attributes towards obscuring the privacy and confidentiality of diabetes subjects’ trajectories while maintaining the data requirements for public good, in terms of disease surveillance, remains a challenge.
The human heart : stress and emotions at play

iii Dedication This project is dedicated to my family. The road I traveled would have been much more difficult without their help, understanding, and support. A special dedication goes to my three sons who inspire me by pursuing their dreams. iv Abstract The purpose of this final project is first, to provide a broad understanding of cardiovascular disease as a dynamic condition that responds to the physical environment of the human body and to the psychosocial factors that surround the affected individual. This broad understanding includes a contemporary definition and a multidimensional view of health and illness. Secondly, the paper evaluates current cardiac rehabilitation models, discussing the need to reorient these programs to comprehensively treat patients. Finally, this project presents a rehabilitation program based on self-efficacy theory with the goal to implement this model to cardiac rehabilitation programs in Ecuador. v Acknowledgment
A nuanced view of normalisation: Attitudes of cannabis non-users in a study of undergraduate students at three Canadian universities

Abstract Aims: To critically investigate the extent of normalisation of the use of cannabis by undergraduate students. To examine the extent of peer accommodation, this paper focuses on attitudes of students who abstain. It sheds light on social meanings of the practice by exploring non-users’ reasons for abstaining in addition to their attitudes, perceptions and experiences of use among their peers. Methods: Respondents were recruited to participate in interviews through an online survey of undergraduate students in social science classes at three Canadian universities. Findings: Peer accommodation of the use of cannabis requires that users exercise due caution and discretion and be respectful of the choices of non-users not to use. Non-users’ attitudes, however, still reflect longstanding cultural assumptions about drug use as a deviant behaviour. Attitudes towards the use of cannabis reflect norms and expectations about gender among other culturally constructed social statuses and roles. Conclusions: Future research should continue to investigate nuances of the differentiated normalisation process. A better understanding of the cultural transformation of cannabis, and other drugs in common use by youth, requires more exploration of the emerging social context and attitudes of users and non-users of the drug.
Aboriginal Peoples Survey, 2012: Concepts and Methods Guide

The Aboriginal Peoples Survey (APS) is a national survey on the social and economic conditions of First Nations people living off reserve, Metis and Inuit aged 6 years and over. The objectives of the APS are to identify the needs of these Aboriginal groups and to inform policy and programs aimed at improving the well-being of Aboriginal peoples. The APS has been conducted by Statistics Canada since 1991, providing a range of social and economic indicators about Aboriginal peoples. This cycle of the APS was conducted from February 6, 2012 to July 30, 2012. Over 50,000 people were selected to participate in the survey and the final response rate was 76 per cent. The survey design allowed for the production of reliable data for each of the provinces and territories (Atlantic provinces grouped), as well as for each of the four Inuit regions: Nunatsiavut (Northern coastal Labrador), Nunavik (Northern Quebec), the territory of Nunavut and the Inuvialuit region of the Northwest Territories. The survey also targeted four particular education groups: current school attendees in grades one to six; current school attendees in grades seven to 12; high school completers (including equivalency); and high school leavers. This guide is intended to provide a detailed review of the 2012 APS with respect to its subject matter and methodological approaches. It is designed to assist APS data users by serving as a guide to the concepts and measures of the survey as well as the technical details of the survey's design, field work and data processing. The guide is meant to provide users with helpful information on how to use and interpret survey results. The discussion on data quality also allows users to review the strengths and limitations of the data for their particular needs.
Principles of total intravenous anaesthesia: practical aspects of using total intravenous anaesthesia

### Key points Advanced pharmacokinetic models for target-controlled infusion (TCI) have facilitated an increasing use of total i.v. anaesthesia (TIVA) in various clinical settings. The technical complexity and labour-intensive methodology of TIVA can deter clinicians and lead to default use of a volatile agent. In theory, any combination of i.v. hypnotic(s) and opioid(s) can be used and opioid-free techniques are described. In practice, the synergy between TCI infusions of propofol and remifentanil proves highly effective at obtunding response to noxious stimuli1 and for this article constitutes ‘ideal’ TIVA. This drug combination achieves equilibrium between adequate depth of anaesthesia and rapid recovery. Intermittent boluses of agents or manually controlled infusions may produce an inadequate effect.2 The specific indications for TIVA are given in Table 1. TIVA is applicable to nearly all types of surgery but has particular value in clinical scenarios where a stress-free awake extubation free of laryngospasm is required. TIVA confers many advantages over a conventional volatile technique, particularly a better recovery profile with reduced risk of postoperative nausea and vomiting, and can facilitate intraoperative wake-up while retaining amnesia. The use of TIVA for cases requiring a rapid intubation sequence is controversial but is safely practiced. View this table: Table 1 Specific indications for …
Copper Electroplating process for passive Si-based System in Package applications

NXP has been involved these last years in PICS technology (Passive Integrated Connective Substrate) for passive components such as high-density capacitors, inductors and resistors. In order to improve the electrical characteristics of these devices and more particularly of inductors, top aluminum metal can be replaced by a thick copper layer. This paper will describe a study concerning a micromolding copper process for these PICS substrates. High deposition rate (1 μm/min), thickness distribution and uniform electrical characteristics (close to bulk values) are the main challenges for the industrial deposition process. We used two sets of electrolyte (sulphate bathes) with organic additives. Additives consumption and degradation have been carefully monitored using CVS (Cyclic Voltammetric Stripping) and TOC (Total Organic Compounds) analysis. A wide range of current density (2 to 5 A/dm) was used to optimize the process. Copper deposition was performed on various pattern geometries representative of our products. For the two types of electrolyte, the wafer uniformity is as targeted (< 5%) but differences are observed for the within die uniformity (up to 1.5μm depending on the design). In the selected range of current density, the growth rate is below expectations. Both chemistries lead to low surface roughness (<25nm) for all current densities evaluated. Copper line profile is flat in one case and curved on the other one; this curved profile can have a negative impact for some applications. The electrical resistivity varies from 1.7 μΩ. cm to 2.3 μΩ. cm. Finally, the process developed fulfills the main technical requirements (thickness uniformity, low roughness, good electrical performances.) but strong differences in bath management and additive consumptions have allowed to select one of the electrolyte for our applications.
Application of GIS/ RS for Management Zoning of Margallah Hills National Park, Islamabad

A national park is comparatively a large area of outstanding scenic merit and natural interests with the primary objective of protection and preservation of flora and fauna in natural state to which access for public, education and research may be allowed. The management zoning of national park based on different environmental factors is the prime objective of the present research. In order to carry out this study, satellite image (SPOT-5) of year 2007 was classified into three different classes named as forest land, possess land and degraded land using maximum likelihood algorithm in ERDAS IMAGINE 9.1 software. Major environmental factors considered for zoning of national park were slope, land use, elevation, distance from community, roads and river/streams. These factors were ranked according to their significance for the national park. The study area was categorized into three management zones after weighted overlay analysis in Arc GIS software. Area calculated for service zone, primitive zone, and recovery zone, is nearly 14.3%, 11.0%, 34.4%, respectively. The result can be used as an input for effective management of the park in order to preserve the natural resources and to ensure a sustainable ecology. Management zoning can also be utilized as guide lines and suggestions for where an activity shall be located in future. For example when the park officers want to enlarge the recreational area, they would consider the area of high suitability for this class as the first priority, so that critical areas of the NP are least disturbed.

Study behaviors of health science education students seeking academic support

Objective: The literature on study behaviors of health science education students is limited. The purpose of the current study was to examine the Study Behavior Inventory (SBI) as an instrument to measure the study behaviors of this student population. Methods: Participants were 137 (N=137) first-year heath science education students seeking academic support services while enrolled at an academic health science center. Participants completed the SBI and grade point averages (GPA) were obtained. Results: Results indicated that assessing the quantity of study behaviors does not reliably measure effective learning among these students. Regression analysis indicated that the utilization of specific information resources predicted academic success. Utilization of practice questions and electronic flashcards were found to be significant positive predictors of GPA, while the use of electronic textbooks was a significant but negative predictor of GPA. Conclusions: Consistent with prior research, results indicated that the specific study behaviors associated with academic success were sources for self-testing. Future research will continue to examine specific study behaviors that are associated with positive academic outcomes in health science education.
Analysis, Using a Three-dimensional View, of the Process of Tree Growth (1)：A new graphic method for stem analysis responding to a stem form

The stem form of trees is diverse and affects the properties of wood, formed in the process of tree growth under different environment conditions. However, studies on the variation of wood quality responding to a stem form are few. The authors collected two stems of Abies sachalinensis from the Nakagawa Experiment Forest, and examined basic density and fiber direction in the stems. The distributions were illustrated 3-dimensional­ ly, a method of which proved beneficial for grasping the relation between these properties and stem form.
Biometric Cattle Identi cation Approach Based on Weber ' s Local Descriptor and AdaBoost Classi er

In this paper, we proposed a new and robust biometric-based approach to iden1 tify head of cattle. This approach used the Weber Local Descriptor (WLD) to 2 extract robust features from cattle muzzle print images (images from 31 head of 3 cattle were used). It also employed the AdaBoost classi er to identify head of 4 cattle from their WLD features. To validate the results obtained by this clas5 si er, other two classi ers (k -Nearest Neighbor (k -NN) and Fuzzy-k -Nearest 6 Neighbor (Fk -NN)) were used. The experimental results showed that the pro7 posed approach achieved a promising accuracy result (approximately 99.5%) 8 which is better than existed proposed solutions. Moreover, to evaluate the re9 sults of the proposed approach, four di erent assessment methods (Area Under 10 Curve (AUC), Sensitivity and Speci city, accuracy rate, and Equal Error Rate 11 (EER)) were used. The results of all these methods showed that the WLD along 12 with AdaBoost algorithm gave very promising results compared to both of the 13 k -NN and Fk -NN algorithms. 14
A Review of Secondary Literature on Evidence Based Library Management

A fundemantal problem of practical sciences such as librarianship is that theory and practice overlap. Library professionals often find themselves in situations where they need answers to questions that emerge from their professional practice. Librarians need to have evidence on which to base their informed decisions. Evidence based library management (EBLM) is a relatively new concept for librarians. This paper will present a study that explores the way in a review secondary literature on EBLM. In that review will include historical process, important, problems of EBLM and frequently made mistakes about that. Creating an environment in library where an evidence based management is valued and encouraged will be a major factor in improving the quality of the contribution of librarians to their library and to their profession in the long term.
