The China Code: An Analysis of China’s National Social Standards for the Textile and Apparel Industry

The China Social Compliance for Textile and Apparel (CSC 9000 T) is the first country and sector specific social standard in the world, established by the China National Textile and Apparel Council (CNTAC). The objective of this paper is to evaluate the CSC 9000T by comparing the extent of its coverage and its implementation vis-à-vis another popular international standard, the SA 8000, and two company level codes of conduct, namely Nike and Inditex. The comparison allows an analysis that considers a universal versus a national code, a comprehensive versus a sectoral code, and a western-based versus an Asianbased code of conduct. Our results provide justifications as to why the CSC 9000 T is a code that should be given attention by the relevant protagonists as it is based on more systematic interventions to tackle the root causes of poor compliance in Chinese reality and has a higher degree of legitimacy due to its backing from China’s social institutions and agencies.
A Weighted Method for Citation Network Community Detection

There are many reasons for studying the community structure in citation network, whose underlying community structure may help us understand both the obvious and the more subtle interrelations between subfields, which are so important for understand the research structure and paradigm structure of a subject. However, most methods used for citation network community detection are based on topological structure or content separately. Usually such link-based methods ignore the content of citations, and the content-based methods lack the consideration of citation networks’ topological structure, which might be crucial for accurate and meaningful community detection. In this paper, we develop a weighted method to identify the community structure of citation network. The new weighted model incorporates both the topological links and content information in citation networks to find communities. A text similarity method is used for weighting the links in citation networks and then constructs a weighted citation network to carry out community detection analysis. Two case studies had been carried out in two fields of Scientometrics and Evolving Citation Networks. Results revealed that using weighted citation edges with VSM-based nodes similarity to detect communities can improve the modularity Q value, which might mean a better assignment result. Four nodes’ movement with the direction of better appropriate of community assignation in the 188 node citation network of the field Scientometrics had also indicates the advantage of our weighted method.

Effects of Antioxidants on the Chemical and Sensorial Stability of Minced Jack Mackerel in Frozen Storage

ABSTRACT The effect of antioxidants on minced jack mackerel stored at −20°c for 90 days was evaluated. The antioxidants used were: ethyl-enediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), tert-butylhydroxiquinone (TBHQ), butylhydroxianisol (BHA), butylhydroxitoluene (BHT), and sodium erythorbate (SE) with or without sodium tripolyphosphate (STPP). Sensorial (taste, texture, and odor) and chemical (peroxide values, free fatty acids, fatty acids, and thiobarbituric acid) changes were evaluated during storage. The best results, by sensorial evaluation, peroxide value (POV) and thiobarbituric acid (TBA) levels, were obtained with the following mixtures: 0.1% SE, 0.5% STPP, and 0.025% EDTA; 0.1% SE and 0.5% STPP; and 0.01% BHA and 0.01% BHT. Free fatty acids (FFA) increased during the study independently of the presence of antioxidants. Our findings also suggest that docosahexenoic acid (DHA) levels do not33 reflect oxidation in frozen minced jack mackerel.
Can Digital Coaching Boost Your Performance? - A Qualitative Study among Physically Active People

The use of sport and wellness technology devices among athletes is highly popular. At the same time the demand for easy to understand, clear, and personalized information is also growing. Instead of numbers, users need and want solutions. Digital coaching can offer solutions for this by providing valuable training data and offering guidance and instructions on how to improve the training. This exploratory study focuses on the experiences, needs, and wants regarding a digital coach application among physically active people, more precisely crosscountry skiers. We found that the digital coach was perceived to have motivational elements. It was also viewed having potential to increase the awareness relating to personal performance level and technique as well as bring diversity into training. However, some perceived demotivating elements suggest that future development is needed. Our findings give insights to sport technology companies as well as athletes and coaches about the influence and possibilities of digital coaching among athletes and physically active people.

Staining Aspirated Human Bone Marrow with Domestic Wright Stain

The method employs the domestic Wright stain for the staining of aspirated human bone marrow. Freshly distilled water, pH 6.0 to 6.4, is used. Wright stain, 0.5 cc, is placed upon the air-dried preparation and permitted to act for two minutes. The stain is then diluted with 2 cc. distilled water and permitted to act for from 5 to 10 minutes. After washing off the stain with distilled water, the preparation is placed into a decolorizer (acetone 0.5 cc, pure methyl alcohol 5.0 cc, and 100 cc. distilled water, pH 6.0 to 6.4) for differentiation from 1 to 5 seconds, rinsed, washed under running water and permitted to air-dry. A well stained and differentiated preparation shows the “Romanovsky effect”, and the sharpness of minute structures obtained compares favorably with control preparations stained with German dyes.The bone marrow should be prepared as described. The Wright stain marketed by the National Aniline and Chemical Co., N. Y. was found to be reliable as regards staining quality of registered batch.
Weed Control in Grape After Fall and Spring Application of Selected Herbicides1

Soil-residual herbicides can be applied to the soil under grapevines during fall or spring before weed emergence. But, early spring moisture and warm weather conditions may enhance weed emergence before spring herbicide applications. Therefore, fall application of herbicide can be useful if the herbicides provide adequate weed control the following spring and summer. Fall and spring applications of oryzalin or norflurazon, applied alone or in combination with diuron, simazine, or oxyfluorfen, were evaluated for weed control in grape at Oskaloosa and Eudora in northeast Kansas in the 2002 to 2003 and 2003 to 2004 growing seasons. Weeds were not controlled adequately with oryzalin or norflurazon applied alone. At the end of the growing season, weed control was 10 to 20% greater when herbicides were applied in the spring than when applied in the fall. In addition, weed control with norflurazon was slightly greater than with oryzalin. In general, norflurazon or oryzalin applied in combination with simazine, diuron, or oxyfluorfen gave greater weed control than norflurazon or oryzalin applied alone. The greatest control was with norflurazon or oryzalin applied with oxyfluorfen. In general, all herbicide combinations provided similar weed control 4 mo after spring treatment in 2003 and 3 mo after spring treatment in 2004. This study showed that acceptable weed control can be achieved when norflurazon or oryzalin is applied with oxyfluorfen or diuron in the fall. Nomenclature: Diuron; norflurazon; oryzalin; oxyfluorfen; simazine; grape, Vitis labrusca #3 VITLA. Additional index words: Grape injury, common ragweed, horseweed, prickly sida, prickly lettuce, tumble windmillgrass, yellow sweetclover. Abbreviations: MAST, month after spring treatment.
POPULATION DENSITY AND DYNAMICS OF LARCH CASEBEARER (LEPIDOPTERA: COLEOPHORIDAE) IN THE BLUE MOUNTAINS OF OREGON AND WASHINGTON BEFORE THE BUILD-UP OF EXOTIC PARASITES

Abstract Population density and parasitism of larch casebearer, Coleophora laricella (Hübner), were monitored for 10 years before parasites introduced for biological control became abundant. Overwintering densities remained fairly stable at about 100 larvae per 100 buds. The factor most closely correlated with population change was something, as yet unknown, other than the native parasites, which tended to be inversely density-dependent. The data will serve as the “before” period in a before and after evaluation of the biological control program. Résumé La densité de population et le parasitisme du porte-case du mélèze, Coleophora laricella (Hübner), ont été recensés pendant 10 ans avant que des parasites introduits comme auxiliaires de lutte biologique ne soient devenus abondants. Les densités d'hivernement sont restées assez stables à environ 100 larves par 100 bourgeons. Le facteur le plus étroitement correlé avec les variations d'abondance est encore inconnu. Ce facteur est différent des parasites indigènes, qui sont inversement dépendant de la densité. Ces données serviront à couvrir la période “avant” d'une étude d'évaluation avant et après de ce programme de lutte biologique.
Not Just an Individual Journey: Social Aspects of Recovery

Background: Recent literature on recovery describes the process as deeply personal and unique to each individual. While there are aspects of recovery that are unique to each individual, this article argues that focusing solely on these overlooks the fact that recovery unfolds within a social and interpersonal context. Materials: Drawing from qualitative data, this article describes aspects of recovery that involve the contributions of others, the social environment and society. Discussion: These aspects of recovery include relationships, adequate material conditions and responsive services and supports. Conclusion: The authors consider the implications of these social factors for transforming psychiatric research and theory as well as for recovery-orientated practice.
Predictors of Relationship Quality and Loyalty in the Chain Restaurant Industry

The focus of this research was the chain restaurant industry, and its purpose was to (1) determine which factors influence relationship quality and customer loyalty formation and (2) examine the connections between relationship quality and loyalty. Based on the literature review, five dimensions influence restaurant patrons’ behavior: food quality, service quality, price, location, and environment. Theoretical relationships between attributes influencing patrons’ behavior, relationship quality, and loyalty were derived from the literature review. Data analysis indicated that these five attributes influence loyalty formation, with impact mediated by relationship quality. They also influence customer satisfaction, with satisfaction influencing loyalty formation directly and indirectly via trust. Furthermore, service quality was the only attribute to directly and indirectly affect trust, and its effect is stronger than that of any other attribute. Managerial implications are discussed.

Space Qualification Testing of a Deployable Shape Memory Alloy CubeSat Antenna

Increasingly capable CubeSat missions require antennas with improved Radio Frequency (RF) performance over the traditional CubeSat antennas. Deployable quadrifilar helical antennas (QHA) enable an acceptable stowing volume and deploy to provide increased gain and bandwidth over traditional patch and dipole antennas. Extensive ground testing is required to ensure the antenna is space qualified and to characterize the antenna deployment in the space environment. AFIT requires a QHA to perform a future CubeSat geolocation mission and contracted Helical Communication Technologies (HCT) to design and manufacture a Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) L-band deployable QHA. In this research, a testing approach is developed to conduct random vibration, thermal vacuum, laser vibrometer, and Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) experiments on the HCT antenna to verify the hardware is space qualified and to characterize the SMA deployment in the space environment. The HCT QHA successfully passed all required NASA General Environmental Verification Standards space qualification testing. Several anomalies experienced by HCT’s QHA design encourage a redesign of the hold down loops. The deployed antenna length varied from 250-290 mm and future RF testing and analysis is required to determine if the antenna geometry variations will impact the geolocation accuracy. This research documents the testing sequence and results for a SMA QHA deployable CubeSat antenna testing and aids the development of deployment and attitude control concepts of operations for future CubeSat mission utilizing the HCT QHAs.

Profile Water Balance Model under Irrigated and Rainfed Systems

A profile moisture model has been developed to evaluate the seasonal soil moisture fluctuation with respect to soil characteristics and land use pattern under irrigated and rainfed conditions in an area of agricultural fields. Daily rainfall and irrigation were used as model inputs Instantaneous uniform redistribution of soil moisture in the effective root zone and negligible contribution of soil water through upward flux were assumed. An empirical model was used to determine the root depth. Runoff was estimated from rainfall data using the curve number technique of the Soil Conservation Service adapted for conditions in India and combined with a soil moisture-accounting procedure. The modified Penman method was used to calculate the reference evapotranspiration. To calculate the crop coefficient (Kc), regression equations were developed taking Kc as the dependent variable on normalized difference vegetation index. This model was very easy to parameterize and required a minimum soil data set of field capacity and permanent wilting point. To evaluate model performance, observed values of soil water were taken for wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) in the Mehrauli (sandy loam to loam texture) and Daryapur (loamy texture) soil series under irrigated conditions and for gram (Cicer ari-etinum L.) in the Jagat (day loam texture) and Holambi (loam texture) soil series under rainfed conditions in Delhi. The r 2 and D index between observed and predicted soil water values varied between 0.67 and 0.77 and 0.83 and 0.93, respectively.
Factors in the Path From Lean to Patient Safety: Six Sigma, Goal Specificity and Responsiveness Capability

The purpose of this study is to clarify the impact of lean on patient safety outcomes in hospitals. This article develops a path model for improving patient safety that includes lean, Six Sigma, goal specificity, and responsiveness capabilities. Structural equation modeling is used to test the model, using survey data from more than 215 U.S. hospitals. Results indicate that although lean doesn't impact patient safety directly, it plays an important role in encouraging Six Sigma implementation and raising goal specificity in hospital units. Responsiveness capability is found to be the key variable in translating Six Sigma, goal specificity, and ultimately lean into improved patient safety. Positive patient safety outcomes are largely attributed to increases in patient responsiveness, while Six Sigma and goal specificity influenced by lean implementation serve as the valuable venue of responsiveness. The results provide support for the notion that the information gained from lean and Six Sigma projects must be geared toward customer requirements and used as a means of responding quickly to patient needs. The results contribute to the operations literature by clarifying the role of lean by coupling it with Six Sigma and goal specificity. The interrelationships of these initiatives have not been adequately explored, and limited research discusses their combined effectiveness in healthcare.
Leaf Positions of Potato Suitable for Determination of Nitrogen Content with a SPAD Meter

Abstract Hand-held SPAD meter can be used to evaluate the leaf nitrogen status of potato. For practical use, it is necessary to select a proper compound leaf, a proper leaflet within compound leaf and position of leaflet suitable for measurement. Therefore, field experiments were conducted in northern China in 2009 and 2010. The SPAD values, plant growth, N uptake of potato plants at tuber initiation and tuber bulking stages under different N supply levels, and final tuber yields were examined. The criteria for determining the most suitable leaf, leaflet and position within a leaflet are that the SPAD values show less variation at a given N supply level, and show a more sensitive response to different nitrogen levels. Our results showed that the coefficients of variance of SPAD values ranged from 8.7 to 25.9% with a leaf N concentration range of 2.1 to 3.8 gN 100 g-1 at tuber initiation stage, and 7.2 to 21.6% with leaf N concentration range of 0.96 to 1.26gN 100 g-1 at the tuber bulking stage. The SPAD values of the 4th compound leaf from apex were more stable and more sensitive to the nitrogen level than those of other leaves, suggesting that the 4th compound leaf is suitable for estimating the leaf N status using a SPAD meter. Within a compound leaf, the SPAD value of the top leaflet was more sensitivethan the other leaflets to nitrogen supply, whereas it was less stable, making it difficult to chose the leaflet for measurement. However, the top leaflet emerges and expands much earlier than the side leaflets, and should be better for SPAD value measurement. The SPAD measurements at the top point of the top leaflet of the 4th leaf demonstrated both less variation and higher sensitivity to nitrogen supply. Therefore, we conclude that the top point of the top leaflet of the 4th compound leaf is the best position for potato N status diagnosis using a SPAD meter.
Contribution to the Optic Nerve

Optic nerve head drusen (ONHD) represent congenital anomaly, which is a form of calcium degeneration of optic nerve head axons. They are initially asymptomatic but may causes progressive optic neuropathy. They are presented as acellular, hyaline deposits of globular appearance in front of the lamina cribrosa (prelaminar segment). They are formed due to altered axonal transport, small diameter of scleral canal, direct compression, or ischemia. Frequent complications: progressive visual field scotoma, ischemic optic neuropathy, central retinal artery or vein occlusion, and neovascularization adjacent to the optic nerve head. Useful diagnostic tools ophthalmoscopy, angiography, standard automated perimetry, B-scan ultrasonography, CT, OCT, HRT, GDx, and electrophysiological examination. Therapeutic procedures are medical, laser, and surgical. Pilot studies confirmed benefit of topical hypotensive drugs even when drusen are not associated with glaucoma. By reducing intraocular pressure, the compression to the optic nerve axons decreases, thus improving perfusion of the optic nerve head. The paper presents young female patient with bilateral optic nerve drusen and progressive visual field defects (scotomas), which implies topical hypotensive therapy. After 6 months scotoma and loss of sensitivity of the visual field were reduced. Neuroprotective drugs are investigated to reduce potential visual morbidity.
Standard methods for physiology and biochemistry research in Apis mellifera

Summary Despite their tremendous economic importance, and apart from certain topics in the field of neurophysiology such as vision, olfaction, learning and memory, honey bees are not a typical model system for studying general questions of insect physiology. The reason is their social lifestyle, which sets them apart from a “typical insect” and, during social evolution, has resulted in the restructuring of certain physiological pathways and biochemical characteristics in this insect. Not surprisingly, the questions that have attracted most attention by researchers working on honey bee physiology and biochemistry in general are core topics specifically related to social organization, such as caste development, reproductive division of labour and polyethism within the worker caste. With certain proteins playing key roles in these processes, such as the major royal jelly proteins (MRJPs), including royalactin and hexamerins in caste development, and vitellogenin in reproductive division of labour and age polyethism, a major section herein will present and discuss basic laboratory protocols for protein analyses established and standardized to address such questions in bees. A second major topic concerns endocrine mechanisms underlying processes of queen and worker development, as well as reproduction and polyethism, especially the roles of juvenile hormone and ecdysteroids. Sensitive techniques for the quantification of juvenile hormone levels circulating in haemolymph, as well as its synthesis by the corpora aliata are described. Although these require certain instrumentation and a considerable degree of sophistication in the analysis procedures, we considered that presenting these techniques would be of interest to laboratories planning to specialize in such analyses. Since biogenic amines are both neurotransmitters and regulators of endocrine glands, we also present a standard method for the detection and analysis of certain biogenic amines of interest. Further questions that cross borders between individual and social physiology are related to energy metabolism and thermoregulation. Thus a further three sections are dedicated to protocols on carbohydrate quantification in body fluid, body temperature measurement and respirometry.
