Adolescent Alexithymia Research: Indigenous Sample Compared to Hispanic Sample in Southern Chile

Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS-20) adolescent research became increasingly popular. We found no data examining two different ethnical adolescent groups sharing comparable environment. Furthermore, there are no indications that TAS-20 has ever been used in Chile. We conducted a transcultural comparison investigating the influence of ethnicity, gender and age on a low socioeconomic teenage population. Additionally, Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) was performed. In this cohort study (n = 225), 95 indigenous students were compared to the Hispanic control group of 130 participants. We found proper replicability and internal reliability of TAS-20 and the three-factor solution for our sample. We measured high alexithymia rates and significant differences between the ethnicities and genders but there was no influence of age. Although factor 3 (EOT) was inconsistent to some degree, TAS-20 resulted to be an appropriate measure for Chilean adolescents. Indigenous ethnicity, gender, low socioeconomic status, and power distance in a rural environment contribute to high alexithymia.
Higher Education Expansion, Human Capital Externalities and Wages: Italian Evidence within Occupation

The Italian system of higher education has recently experienced a process of radical transformation. The so-called 3+2 university reform reflects a big increase in the supply of college graduates that has attracted the attention of policy makers and fostered the debate on the size of human capital externalities. Using the 2009 Italian Labour Force Survey and incorporating a measure of graduate density within each occupation, in this article, we explore whether the social returns to education exceeds the private return and less educated workers gain more than college educated workers from spillovers associated with higher college share in their relative occupation. The OLS results clearly indicate that increases in graduate density have positive effects on wages and that the effect is larger for less educated workers, also controlling for potential confounding factors. However, the concentration of college workers across occupations is such that we may have a potential endogeneity problem. In order to recover a causal interpretation and to isolate the effect of graduate density, we employ an IV strategy exploiting the lagged demographic and occupational structure and the variation in the introduction of 3+2 courses at regional level. Merely, IV estimates largely indicate that the size of spillovers is significantly increased with respect to standard OLS results. Indeed, we estimate that a 1% increase in the college share within occupation raises wages by 0.9-1.3% for male and female, respectively. The effect is further larger for less educated workers.
PMSM Sensorless Speed Control Drive

Permanent magnet synchronous machines (PMSM) are very popular in many industrial applicationssuchasinmechatronics, automotive, energy storage flywheels, centrifugal compressors, vacuum pumps, and robotics. This paper proposes Sensorless control for a PMSM speed drive which is based on aclosedloopcontrol system using a proportional and integral (PI) controller that is designed to operate in flux weakening regions under a constant torque angle.This Sensorless elementwasadopted for best estimating the PMSM rotor position based on its performance characteristicseliminatingthe need for speed sensorswhich are usually required insuchcontrol applications. To achieve this goal, apulse width modulation (PWM) control scheme was developed to work in conjuction with a field oriented motor controldriveusingSimulink.Thisinnovative control system was simulated assuming realistic circuit components to maximize the accuracy of the proposed model.Finally, simulation results obtained under different operation conditions at below and above the rated speed of the motorwere presented and discussed in this paper.
HORIZONTAL POSITION OPTIMAL SOLUTION DETERMINATION FOR THE SATELLITE LASER RANGING SLOPE MODEL

Abstract. According to the Gaussian-fit laser echo model and the terrain slope model, the regular mean value theorem and the asymptotic principle of the median point of the double integral mean value theorem are used to derive the optimal solution for the horizontal position of a single-mode laser echo. Through simulation experiments, the horizontal position results of the echo signal peak from various terrain slopes are analyzed. When ignoring the effect of the atmosphere and the surface roughness of the target, considering the geometric position of the Gaussian single-mode echo signal peak to be the center of the laser spot is highly accurate. However, as the accuracy significantly decreases when the slope is greater than 26°, making the range of the peak value of the single-mode echo data (for a slope of less than 26°) to be the range of the geometrical center of the laser spot can obtain a higher degree of accuracy.
The cycle of violence and pathways to peace

Abstract This article analyzes inter-group conflict through the lens of Terror Management Theory and explains how belief systems can breed animosity and hostility towards those who do not share one's beliefs. Research provides support converging with historical analyses suggesting that many of the same psychological mechanisms that lead terrorists to take aggressive actions may also motivate extreme counter-terrorist policies creating massive amounts of collateral damage. This collateral damage from violent counter-terrorist measures often intensifies the cycle of violence by assisting terrorists in recruiting support. Finally, recent research that provides hope for breaking the cycle of violence is presented.
Synthesis of β-Phase ( Bi 2 O 3 ) 1 − x ( Dy 2 O 3 ) x ( 0 . 01 < x < 0 . 10 ) System andMeasurement of Oxygen Ionic Conductivity

β-phase (Bi2O3)1−x(Dy2O3)x system with tetragonal structure is synthesized for 0.01 < x < 0.10 molar doping. Unit cell parameters increased with increasing the doping. We have studied the dependence of total electrical conductvity on temperature, doping concentration of β-phase systems. The phase transition which manifests itself by the jump in the conductivity curve was also verified by DTA and both measurements are rather compatible. The electrical conductivity curves of β-phase structure revealed regular increase in the form of an Arrhenius curve. The activation energies are calculated from these graphs. Bi2O3-based Dy2O3 doped ceramics show ionic oxygen conductivity. The conductivity increased as the doping concentration increased. The highest value of conductivity is 0.006 ohm−1cm−1 (600◦C) for the β-phase (Bi2O3)0.91(Dy2O3)0.09 (800 ◦C). The sample with the highest conductivity is (Bi2O3)0.91(Dy2O3)0.09 (800 ◦C) binary system where 1.450 ohm−1cm−1 (745◦C).
An Analysis of the Social Capital, Organizational Commitment and Performance in the Public Sector of Southeastern Turkey

Social capital and organizational commitment and performance have long been the subjects of many studies as these concepts drive organizational outputs. This study aims to investigate the relationships between these concepts. The study collected data using a questionnaire survey comprising 26 questions conducted with 308 offi cers working in the tax offi ces of the provinces of Diyarbakir, Batman and Mardin in Southeastern Turkey. A separate form was used to collect some demographic variables from the respondents. The fi ndings indicate a positive and signifi cant relationship between social capital and performance. This study also confi rmed that organizational commitment has a mediating effect between social capital and performance.
Knowledge Transfer in the Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH) – Definition, Motivators, Obstacles, and Visions

While knowledge transfer in economic and technical sciences is a matter of frequent research, knowledge transfer in social sciences and humanities (SSH) has not been examined sufficiently in the last few decades. In order to fill the research gap, this paper presents results from a study conducted at an Austrian university. Eighteen scientists were interviewed with regards to a definition, common examples, motivators and obstacles as well as visions of SSH knowledge transfer. Interview transcripts have been analyzed qualitatively. Results were compared with quantitative data derived from the research documentation system of the university. A comprehensive definition of SSH knowledge transfer is presented. Motivators turned out to be closely linked to perceived personal and civic duties. Obstacles were described as being attributable to a focus on ‘science to science’ achievements within the scientific community.
The Xylariaceae as model example for a unified nomenclature following the “One Fungus-One Name” (1F1N) concept

The introduction of a One Fungus-One Name (1F1N) concept has led to intensive discussions among taxonomists. Based on the Xylariaceae, a hyperdiverse family of Ascomycota with over 1300 species, the advantages and pitfalls of these nomenclatural changes and their consequences for taxonomy and applied mycology are discussed. Historically, in the Xylariaceae, an 1F1N concept had already been realised: the types of all important genera are conserved. Most teleomorphs were discovered long before the anamorphic states and the latter did not receive separate names, hence no drastic taxonomic changes are expected. The new nomenclature calls for abandonment of some ill-defined anamorph genera, such as Muscodor. Other anamorph genera will be retained because their names refer to morphological symplesiomorphies that occur in several teleomorph genera. Various important taxa are only known from ancient specimens, and no DNA-based data are available. Much work still remains to be done to recollect these fungi, select epitypes, and settle their phylogenetic relationships. Until then, we recommend that taxonomic changes be applied at the suprageneric ranks whenever possible to maintain nomenclatural stability.
Silicon Conversion From Bamboo Leaf Silica By Magnesiothermic Reduction for Development of Li-ion Baterry Anode

Silicon (Si) is a promising alternative material for the anode Lithium ion Battery (LIB). Si has a large theoretical capacity about 3579 mA hg-1, ten times greater than the commercial graphite anode (372 mA hg-1). Bamboo is a source of organic silica (bio-silica). Most part biogenetic content of SiO 2 is obtained in bamboo leaves. This paper aims to investigate the synthesis nano Si from bamboo leaves through magnesiothermic reduction after silica extraction using sol–gel method and to observe nano Si of bamboo leaf as mixed material for lithium ion baterry. Silica and silicon content was determined using XRF. Silica product has 96,3 wt. % yield of extraction from bamboo leaf, while silicon yield was obtained 61.2 wt. %. The XRD pattern revealed that silica and silicon product were amourphous. The extracted silica and silicon from bambo leaf has spherical shape and agglomerated form. As anoda material for LIB, silicon product achieved 0,002 mAh capacity for 22 cycle.
It’s all about the game: Infants’ action strategies during imitation are influenced by their prior expectations

Infants’ imitation is influenced by causal and intentional cues. Here we examine whether imitation is influenced by prior social expectations. Infants (mean age = 27 months) first played one of three games either: 1) copying the experimenters’ gestures, 2) establishing and working toward a shared goal or 3) a non-interactive control. They then participated in a separate imitation task involved both causally necessary and unnecessary actions and a goal. Infants who began by copying the experimenter were more likely to imitate causally unnecessary actions, infants who played a game with a shared goal were more likely to only perform causally necessary actions. Infants in the non-interactive control had no preferred response, and were least likely to achieve outcome as demonstrated. These results implicate the broader social context as an important factor guiding the actions infants choose to imitate, and have implications for the role of imitation in
On the symplectic form of the moduli space of projective structures

Let S be a C∞ compact connected oriented surface whose genus is at least two. Let P(S) be the moduli space of isotopic classes of projective structures associated to S. The natural holomorphic symplectic form on P(S) will be denoted by ΩP . The natural holomorphic symplectic form on the holomorphic cotangent bundle T ∗T (S) of the Teichmüller space T (S) associated to S will be denoted by ΩT . Let e : T (S) −→ P(S) be the holomorphic section of the canonical holomorphic projection P(S) −→ T (S), given by the Earle uniformization. Let Te : T ∗T (S) −→ P(S) be the biholomorphism constructed using the section e. We prove that T ∗ e ΩP = π · ΩT . This remains true if e is replaced by a large class of sections that include the one given by the Schottky uniformization.
The Cosmic-Ray and Gas Content of the Cygnus Region as Measured in Gamma Rays by the Fermi Large Area Telescope

The Cygnus region hosts a giant molecular-cloud complex which actively forms massive stars. Interactions of cosmic rays with interstellar gas and radiation fields make it shine at gamma-ray energies. Several gamma-ray pulsars and other energetic sources are seen in this direction. In this paper we analyse the gamma-ray emission measured by the Fermi Large Area Telescope in the energy range from 100 MeV to 100 GeV in order to probe the gas and cosmic-ray content over the scale of the whole Cygnus complex. The signal from bright pulsars is largely reduced by selecting photons in their off-pulse phase intervals. We compare the diffuse gamma-ray emission with interstellar gas maps derived from radio/mm-wave lines and visual extinction data, and a global model of the region, including other pulsars and gamma-ray sources, is sought. The integral HI emissivity and its spectral energy distribution are both consistent within the systematics with LAT measurements in the interstellar space near the solar system. The average X=N(H2)/W(CO) ratio is consistent with other LAT measurements in the Local Arm. We detect significant gamma-ray emission from dark neutral gas for a mass corresponding to ~40% of that traced by CO. Despite the conspicuous star formation activity and large masses of the interstellar clouds, the cosmic-ray population in the Cygnus complex averaged over a few hundred parsecs is similar to that of the local interstellar space.

Sparse Coding for Object Detection with Deformable Part Models

In this report, we describe an integration of sparse coding for Deformable Part Models (DPM), a modern framework for 2D object detection. We developed this system aiming to improve the detection speed of a C implementation of DPM, and analysed the results. DPM is based on the concept that an object category can be modelled as a composition of parts connected to each other, with a certain degree of displacement allowed (deformation constraints). This method proved to be effective for generalised real-world detection, but is computationally expensive and does not easily achieve real-time performance, especially in multi-class detection contexts. Using sparse coding allows to exploit the inherent redundancy in models and to reduce computational costs significantly when detecting several object classes simultaneously. This results in a considerable speed gain with only a small accuracy decrease. We outline the phases of this integration and examine the results obtained in terms of speed and accuracy. We propose, as a future development, a parallelisation of the current implementation, to yield a further speed enhancement towards the real-time detection goal.
Oil Content and Fatty Acid Composition of the Seeds of 16 Avocado (Persea americana) Accessions Collected From Southern China and Their Application in a Soap Bar

The avocado (Persea americana), an edible fruit, is one of the main agricultural products in many tropical regions. Avocado fruit is rich in fat, and commercialized for fresh consumption and industrially processed leaving seed as a major residue. Avocado seed from the industry is worthy of attention for certain industrial applications and feasibility. Transforming avocado seed lipids into ecologically friendly or sustainable materials suitable for the cosmetic industry is promising from the perspective of green and environmental protection. The oil contents and fatty acid compositions of the seeds of 16 avocado accessions collected from southern China were investigated, revealing significant differences among most of the accessions. Seventeen fatty acids were identified and quantified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry in the seeds of all 16 avocado accessions. Linoleic (40.14%), palmitic (23.54%), and oleic acids (16.23%) were the major fatty acids in the seeds, and the total contents of unsaturated fatty acids in the seeds were all higher than those of saturated fatty acids. The biochemical properties of the avocado seed oils relevant to their application in industrial practice were examined [e.g., the acid (3.74 mg KOH/g oil), iodine (124.09 g I2/100 g oil), peroxide (49.83 meq H2O2), and saponification (167.98 mg KOH/g oil) values]. Furthermore, the bar soap containing avocado seed oil was made, and its physicochemical properties (pH and foamability) were evaluated.
Study of “Low-Frequency” Seismic Events Sources in the Mines of the Verkhnekamskoye Potash Deposit

associated with mining. Intensive low-frequency (0.5 – 2 Hz) Rayleigh waves occur on the waveforms of some events (so-called “low-frequency” events). Classical seismological source model in the form of expanding shear crack does not reproduce waveforms of the “low-frequency” events: high-frequency body waves dominate on synthetic waveforms for double-couple point sources with reliable parameters. Dynamical processes observed in potash mines (pillar burst, rockfall, dynamical floor failure) have been analyzed as potential sources of the “low-frequency” seismic events. The equivalent point sources have been determined for these processes. Synthetic waveforms for constructed point sources have been calculated and compared with seismograms of the “low-frequency” events. It has been found that only rockfall could generate intensive enough Rayleigh type waves. Rockfalls are expected to be the most probable source of the “low-frequency” seismic events in the Verkhnekamskoye potash deposit.

This approach is illustrated in the context of organization research based on two cases of grounded theory analysis (a) study of face to face interaction in a university between employees. (b) Shape organizational indifferences. This paper investigated with the main conditions that cause managerial carelessness in University of Brawijaya and make employees ready to leave organization. The paper concluded some propositions that discovered organizational indifferences by using Grounded theory. Keywords: grounded theory, organization indifferences, and managerial carelessness
The Gamma Generalized Pareto Distribution with Applications in Survival Analysis

We study a three-parameter model named the gamma generalized Pareto distribution. This distribution extends the generalized Pareto model, which has many applications in areas such as insurance, reliability, finance and many others. We derive some of its characterizations and mathematical properties including explicit expressions for the density and quantile functions, ordinary and incomplete moments, mean deviations, Bonferroni and Lorenz curves, generating function, R\'enyi entropy and order statistics. We discuss the estimation of the model parameters by maximum likelihood. A small Monte Carlo simulation study and two applications to real data are presented. We hope that this distribution may be useful for modeling survival and reliability data.
An Internet-Based Intervention for Fibromyalgia Self-Management: Initial Design and Alpha Test

Self-Monitoring And Review Tool, or SMART, is an interactive, internet-based, self-monitoring and feedback system, which helps people discover and monitor links between their own health-related behaviors, management strategies, and symptom levels over time. SMART involves longitudinal collection and optimal analysis of an individual’s self-monitoring data, and delivery of personalized feedback derived from the data. Forty women with fibromyalgia (FM) enrolled in a three-month alpha test of the SMART system. Utilization, satisfaction, and compliance were high across the test period, and higher utilization was predictive of lower anxiety, and improved physical functioning and self-efficacy.
Response of Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) to the Application of Mineral Nitrogen and Phosphorus Fertilizers under Irrigation in Dire Dawa, Eastern Ethiopia

Potato is an important cash and food security crop in eastern Ethiopia. However, nutrient requirement of the crop under warmer dry conditions has not been studied in the region. Therefore, an experiment was conducted at Dire Dawa, eastern Ethiopia to investigate the response of potato to the application of mineral nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizers under irrigated condition. Four rates of nitrogen (0, 56, 112 and 168 Kg N ha -1 ) and four rates of phosphorus (0, 46, 92 and 138 Kg P 2 O 5 ha -1 ) were combined in 4 x 4 factorial arrangement and laid out in randomized complete block design with three replications. Improved potato variety “Bubu” was used as a test crop. Growth, yield and yield components data were collected and analyzed. Results of the study revealed that both the main and interaction effects of nitrogen and phosphorus affected most of the studied growth and yield parameters of the crop. Growth, yield, and yield components of the crop were obtained in response to the application of 56 kg N ha -1 and 138 kg P 2 O 5 ha -1 , with reductions in most of parameters studied as the rate of nitrogen was increased beyond this level. However, the cost-benefit analysis indicated that application of nil kg N ha -1 and 138 kg P 2 O 5 ha -1 would lead to significant economic benefits for farmers. Keywords : Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Interaction, Potato.
