3 BASIC IDEA AND SYSTEM MODEL 3 . 1 Basic Idea

As1 a result of Android devices’ popularity and functionality, they are burgeoning targets for malicious activities in Android privacy. To defend against privacy attacks, we propose Privacy Guardian, a preventive policy enforcement system against privacy malwares. The design of Privacy Guardian takes into consideration the users’ little understanding of Android permission mechanism. In the system, the user only needs to intervene during the first T time units from a privacy-gathering operation or the first time a privacy-diffusing operation is monitored after the expiration of T time units. Its execution is specified as a Finite State Machine, and its security properties are proved formally by using Liner Temporal Logic. We demonstrate that Privacy Guardian offers good performance in terms of detection time and execution cost compared to static and dynamic analysis-based IDS. In addition, the efficiency of Privacy Guardian is studied in terms of accuracy rate and positive rate. *Produces the permission block, and copyright information †The full version of the author’s guide is available as acmart.pdf document It is a datatype.

Evaluation of several mathematical models for fitting the growth of sludge microbes on PEG 600

Polyethylene glycols (PEGs) are employed in numerous sectors. PEGs are nephrotoxic and their biodegradation by microbes could be a potential tool for bioremediation. Numerous bacterial growth studies neglect primary modelling even though modelling exercises can reveal important parameters. In this work we modelled the growth of the sludge microbes on PEG 600 based on available published work in the literature using several growth models such as modified logistic, modified Gompertz, modified Richards, modified Schnute, Baranyi-Roberts, Von Bertalanffy, Huang and the Buchanan three-phase linear model. Statistical analysis results indicated that the modified Gompertz model was the best with highest adjusted R2, lowest RMSE and AICc values and Bias and Accuracy Factor values closest to unity. The results from this work can be used in the further optimization works of this process in the future.
EXTRACTION OF LEAD FROM GALENA CONCENTRATES USING FLUOSILICIC ACID AND PEROXIDE

A study on lead extraction from lead concentrate had been conducted. Galena is usually associated with other sulfide ores such as sphalerite.The lead concentrate was able to be extracted and purified into its metal through a leaching process using a selective solvent of fluosilicic acid (H 2 SiF 6 ). Parameters used in this process include ratio (dose) of reactant (H 2 SiF 6 :H 2 O 2 ), temperature (without heating; 30; 50; 70; 80; and 90°C) and particle size (-100+150#, -150+200#, -200+325, dan -325#). The best extraction was achieved using the particle size of -325 mesh. The amount of extracted lead was increased due to the rise of temperatureand dose of fluosilicic. The amount of peroxide addition was determined by its optimum influence on the lead extraction because its excess would produce PbSO 4 . The influence of H 2 SiF 6 and H 2 O 2 doses was calculated using ANOVA.
Assessing Social Carrying Capacity of Tourism Destinations with Random Utility Models*

Some local visitors or tourists avoid visiting resorts because they have experienced or anticipate overcrowding. Hence, policymakers are concerned to monitor congestion levels. The paper proposes the use of the elasticity of the probability of visiting a destination with respect to increases in congestion, from a random utility framework. More precisely, random parameter logit model is estimated. The advantage of this approach is that it captures not only the current level of congestion but other aspects, such as the sensitivity of different destinations towards crowding and different visitors’ concern about congestion and their probabilities of visiting alternative destinations. It is shown that the rate of change of the elasticity increases with the number of visitors, capturing the expected underlying non-linear relationship such that, when the number of visitors is low, the index is also low but increases exponentially with the influx of new visitors.
Exploring the relationship between appraisals and emotions in a work setting

Exploring work stress using a transactional perspective requires researchers to consider not just the role of appraisal but its relationship with emotions. This research sets out to explore the appraisal-emotion relationship in a work setting. Using data from 174 civic administrators from New Zealand, sequential tree analysis was used to create the pattern of appraisals associated with each of three emotions: anger, anxiety and frustration. The results suggest that if we are to advance our understanding of the appraisal-emotion relationship then future research needs to explore what common characteristics bind together and helps shape appraisal patterns, whether some appraisals are more complex than others and whether some appraisals are more potent than others. The results also raise the question of how best such relationships should be investigated. Future research may wish to consider the utility of more ecologically sensitive measures.
Application of random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers to identify Taxus chinensis var. mairei cultivars associated with parthenogenesis

The random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) technique has been widely applied to identify different varieties of plants for molecular breeding. However, application of RAPD markers to identify parthenogenesis in plants has not been reported. In this investigation, we used pedigree and RAPD markers to differentiate different Taxus chinensis var . mairei cultivars that were associated with parthenogenesis. Among 180 and eighty RAPD primers used, 108 primers generated RAPD bands from genomic DNA of T. chinensis var . mairei cultivars (“Jingzhou” and “Baokang”). Six hundred and thirty-three RAPD loci bands were produced and used to identify eight cultivars with unique banding patterns. Pedigree and RAPD data demonstrated that T. chinensis var . mairei cultivars with parthenogenesis were separated from others in both “Jingzhou” and “Baokang” cultivars. These results provide evidence for identification of parthenogenesis and confirm that the RAPD technique is especially suitable for identification of T. chinensis var . mairei cultivars for agricultural purposes. Keywords: Cultivar identification, DNA extraction, parthenogenesis, pedigree, random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD), Taxus chinensis var . mairei .

Determinants of corporate hedging practices: Malaysian evidence

The purpose of this research paper is to examine the main determinants of corporate hedging practice in Malaysia. To investigate the determinants of corporate hedging, 50 firms from 4 different economic sectors from year 2010 until 2011 have been chosen for the analysis purpose. The regression analysis has been performed and found that debt is significantly and positively related to corporate hedging practice. Debt usage represents the risk involved by the firms. Firms with high debt usage will hedge more in order to reduce their risk. Besides, managerial ownership is significantly and negatively related to corporate hedging practice. This shows that agency theory is not applicable in the context of Malaysian firms. Managers who held more shares in the firm will involve in less hedging activities. In this way, their shares will be higher in value when the firms are in higher risk. This paper expects to enrich existing literature available in the field of corporate hedging especially involving emerging market like Malaysia.
Prevalence and antimicrobial resistance pattern of coagulase negative Staphylococci isolated from pigs and in-contact humans in Jos Metropolis, Nigeria

The nasal carriage and antibiotic susceptibility pattern of coagulase negative staphylococci (CoNS) isolates from healthy pigs and in-contact humans were investigated in 300 pigs and 101 in-contact humans from pig farms and abattoir. The results indicate that 13.2% (53/401) of the isolates were CoNS species based on confirmatory test with Microgen biochemical kit and were further subjected to antibiotic susceptibility testing. Nine CoNS species were identified; S. haemolyticus (n = 10), S. simulans (n =5), S. chromogen (n = 9), S. warneri (n =5), S. xylosus (12), S. epidermidis (n = 5), S. schleiferi (n = 5) and S. hominis (n = 2). Overall, resistance to beta-lactams was the most observed; 79.2% of the isolates were resistant to penicillin while 11.3% and 7.5% were respectively resistant to oxacillin and cefoxitin, respectively. Resistance to 2 or more antimicrobial agents was observed in 39.6% (21/53) of the CoNS isolates. All the isolates were resistant to at least one antimicrobial agent except for gentamicin. Multidrug resistant CoNS are common colonizers of apparently healthy pigs and in-contact humans in the study area with S. xylosus and S. haemolyticus being the major species detected. Key words : Antibiotics, CoNS, pigs, humans.
Response of Giant Reed (Arundo donax) to Asulam and Trifloxysulfuron

Abstract Giant reed has been proposed as a bioenergy crop in the sugarcane production region of south Florida, where it has a high invasive potential. In an effort to limit future invasion of giant reed escapes in sugarcane, currently labeled sugarcane herbicides asulam and trifloxysulfuron were evaluated for its management. Greenhouse and field dose–response studies were conducted at the Everglades Research and Education Center in Belle Glade, FL, between 2010 and 2011. Herbicides were applied at rates ranging from 0.46 to 7.4 kg ha−1 asulam and 2 to 32 g ha−1 trifloxysulfuron, which represent 0.125× to 2× sugarcane labeled use rates, respectively. In the greenhouse, asulam and trifloxysulfuron reduced giant reed relative shoot dry weight by a maximum of 50% at 21 d after treatment (DAT). The probability of giant reed resprouting 35 d following herbicide treatment was greater for trifloxysulfuron when compared with asulam. In the field, it was predicted that a maximum of 69 and 55% giant reed control occurred with application of asulam and trifloxysulfuron, respectively, at 14 DAT. Relative shoot dry weight of giant reed treated with asulam and trifloxysulfuron was reduced by a maximum of 43% at 42 DAT. Application of asulam and trifloxysulfuron did not provide complete control of giant reed at twice the labeled sugarcane use rate, indicating that control of established giant reed in sugarcane with currently available herbicides would not be an option. Nomenclature: Asulam; trifloxysulfuron; giant reed, Arundo donax L. ; sugarcane, Saccharum spp. hybrids.
Repositioning Art Work from Patients Suffering from Anorexia Nervosa in a Gendered, Socio-Cultural Context: A Self-Reflective Study

This article, conceptualized within a poststructuralist, feminist approach to art therapy, addresses the role of visual images as a controlling, constituting discourse significant to the formation of the eating disorder anorexia nervosa. As a core position, this article argues for a change in the way art work created within the art therapy process by women who suffer from anorexia nervosa is interpreted and analyzed by art therapists. The article argues for an enhanced appreciation and critical analysis of a gendered, socio-cultural contextualization of visual images and recognition of how these contextualized, socially-constructed images have a role in directing women to enact behaviors of self-starvation clinically defined as anorexia nervosa. In order to exemplify this shift to feminist interpretations of visual images by art therapists, a self-reflective methodology involving the reanalysis of one of my own published clinical examinations of the art of a patient diagnosed with anorexia nervosa was employed.
Expected Return of Housing and Mortgage Termination

The prepayment risk of adjustable rate mortgages, unlike that of fixed rate mortgages, greatly depends on the decision of mortgagors to move. Given that housing also serves as an investment asset for the owner, it is hypothesised that the expected capital returns of housing are likely to affect his decision to move and hence, prepay. This paper aims to test the capital gains hypothesis using Singapore’s housing market as a case study. In addition, this paper also explores how the expected returns from alternative types of housing affect the decision of households to move/prepay. The expected returns of housing are computed in accordance with the definitions of the Rational Expectation Hypothesis, Adaptive Expectation Hypothesis, and Exogenous Expectation Hypothesis, which are well established in macroeconomic literature and the explanation of cycles. The results showed that the expected returns of public housing formed under the assumptions of rational and adaptive expectation hypothesis are significant. The rational expected return for private housing, however, does not have a significant relationship with the decision of mortgagors to move/prepay, although the adapted expected return for private housing is not significantly related to the households’ length of stay.
Improvements to the Pretreatment of Bone at Oxford

Bone is one of the most widely used materials for dating archaeological activity. It is also relatively difficult to pretreat effectively and new methods are an area of active research. The purpose of the chemical pretreatment of bone is to remove contaminants present from burial and to do so in a way which does not add any additional laboratory contaminant. To some extent, these two aims must be balanced since, on the whole, the more complex the procedure and the more steps included, the greater the chance for contamination. At the Oxford Radiocarbon Accelerator Unit (ORAU), the method used is a continuous-flow or manual acid/base/acid (ABA) treatment followed by gelatinization and ultrafiltration (based on Brown et al. [1988]; documented in Bronk Ramsey et al. [2000]). We find this overall method is very effective at removing more recent contamination in old bones. However, two aspects of the method have recently been improved and are reported here: the redesign of ORAU's continuous flow pretreatment and a new protocol in our pretreatment ultrafiltration stage.

Industrial policy change in the post-crisis British economy: Policy innovation in an incomplete institutional and ideational environment

Industrial policy rarely features in analysis of post-crisis economic policy change in Britain, despite manufacturing featuring centrally in the ‘rebalancing’ narrative espoused by elites since 2008. The article seeks to interrogate the character of recent governments’ approaches to industrial policy and manufacturing industries. It does so through the prism of Peter Hall’s ‘three orders of policy change’ framework, with particular reference to its application to macroprudential regulation by Andrew Baker. The article argues that the framework must be furnished with additional variables, namely, the type of institutional arrangements related to the policy area, and the status of the associated economic activities within the wider growth model, in order to better understand how ideas, institutions and interests interact in processes of policy change. The article finds little evidence of a ‘paradigm shift’ and suggests that innovations in industrial policy have served to reinforce the foundational assumptions of the British growth model.
The Water Quality Effects of Corn Ethanol vs Switchgrass Based Biofuels in the Midwest

While biofuels may yield renewable fuel benefits, there could be downsides in terms of water quality and other environmental stressors, particularly if corn is relied upon exclusively as the feedstock. In this article, we describe a modeling system that links agricultural land use decisions in the Upper Mississippi River Basin (UMRB) to economic drivers. This modeling system is then used to assess several scenarios to identify the water quality effects of alternative land uses and the impacts of introducing on the landscape alternative feedstocks, such as switchgrass, to support renewable energy goals. Specifically, a scenario that assesses the water quality effects associated with an increase in corn acreage due to higher relative corn prices provides an estimate of the water quality effects that current biofuel policies may have in the UMRB. Since cellulosic alternatives such as switchgrass are not currently technologically feasible, we undertake two additional scenarios to assess the prices needed to induce switchgrass production in the watershed and the associated water quality changes. Switchgrass production has sizable benefits in terms of sediment and phosphorus losses, though targeting does little to improve sediment over the unrestricted location of switchgrass. Nitrate losses are still high, likely because of the high fertilization levels assumed. Our analysis can help evaluate the costs and environmental impacts associated with implementation strategies for the biofuel mandates of the new energy bill.
Efficiency dynamics and structural characteristics of the largest commercial banks in Turkey

Recent developments in Turkish economy have forced banks to account for expenses and loan losses while increasing their loan supply to become more profitable. In this context, this study evaluates the efficiency dynamics of the largest Turkish commercial banks, by focusing on their lending decisions and profit generating behaviors. Clustering methodology is used for grouping banks in terms of structural similarities. DEA Window Analysis method is applied in efficiency analyses. The results mainly indicate that, efficiency level in the sector improved during the study period in general. It was not dramatically affected by the global crisis (in 2008), as well. Individually, banks exhibit different efficiency patterns relative to each other. Foreign banks outperform the others with respect to the efficiency models including only interest expenses and revenues. However, large-scale Turkish banks improve their efficiencies, when we consider non-interest returns in addition to interest gains. This conclusion implies that, non-interest revenues earned from diversified financial services have a crucial role in bank management. Results also show that, risk-taking behavior was more beneficial than conservative strategies in our analysis period.
WSES guidelines for management of intra-abdominal infections Sartelli , Massimo 2013-01-08

Despite advances in diagnosis, surgery, and antimicrobial therapy, mortality rates associated with complicated intra-abdominal infections remain exceedingly high. The 2013 update of the World Society of Emergency Surgery (WSES) guidelines for the management of intra-abdominal infections contains evidence-based recommendations for management of patients with intra-abdominal infections.
CIVIC AND POLITICAL PARTICIPATION IN TRANSITION COUNTRIES: THE CASE OF SERBIA

The purpose of this paper is to explore the dynamics of civic participation in Serbia, as well as to test its relevance for the level of citizens’ political involvement. For estimating the impact of the membership in civic associations on political party membership and non-conventional types of political activism, the non-parametric analyses of variance test, followed by post hoc testing has been employed. The main findings of the analysis suggest that civic participation is a significant predictor of political activism of Serbian citizens. The results of the empirical procedures indicate significant differences in the degree of political participation, based on the levels of citizens’ engagement in community organizations. The implications of the study could serve as the grounds for designing policies aimed at strengthening civic society and creating incentives for citizens’ active involvement in political life.
Efficient Public Good Provision in Networks: Revisiting the Lindahl Solution

The provision of public goods in developing countries is a central challenge. This paper studies a model where each agent’s effort provides heterogeneous benefits to the others, inducing a network of opportunities for favor-trading. We focus on a classical efficient benchmark – the Lindahl solution – that can be derived from a bargaining game. Does the optimistic assumption that agents use an efficient mechanism (rather than succumbing to the tragedy of the commons) imply incentives for efficient investment in the technology that is used to produce the public goods? To show that the answer is no in general, we give comparative statics of the Lindahl solution which have natural network interpretations. We then suggest some welfare-improving interventions.

Weather Impacts on Stock Market — Evidence from Hong Kong Stock Market Between Financial Crisis

Previous research has explored the link of weather, mood and behaviors. In particular, some studies demonstrated weather impacts on stock returns. However, most literature included the sample period of financial crisis when they link weather and stock market. In this paper, we investigate the relationship of daily cloudiness and Hong Kong stock market between two financial crises from 1999 to 2006, with 1,824 samples. We believe this is important, since individuals’ decisions are more likely to be calm to trade out of financial crisis period. Consequently, the weather impacts on stock market are more convincing if these impacts could still be found out of financial crisis period. OLS regression and logistic model are used to test the hypothesis. After controlling for January, Monday and seasonality, we find that lower cloudy cover could induce higher stock return between financial crisis period of 1997 and 2008 in Hong Kong. Keywords—Behavioural Economics; Weather; Financial Crisis; Hong Kong Stock Market
