For an understanding of the material world: a biography of the brand ‘Apple’

The purpose of this study is to reflect on how objects can be characterized as predicates of culture, considering that objects are fundamental nonhuman actors in the experiences of everyday life, connecting humans through their functions and symbolism. This discussion, still incipient in the Consumer Culture Theory (CCT), deserves attention from researchers since following the life of these objects means to understand their effects on individual and collective subjectivity. The theoretical assumption that supports the reflection presented in this article is the influence that the material world exerts on human life, as objects are determinant in daily life. Objects - tangible or intangible, such as material goods, brands, animals - have the capacity to act socially, are endowed with the power of induction and action, a property that does not belong only to humans (LAW, 2001). They also have a social life that can be built from their various uses and contexts, thus accumulating a cultural biography. This study adopts a qualitative-interpretative approach, and the methodology consistes of writing the biography of the brand ‘Apple’ and pointing out its agency. The discussion is based on the discursive analysis of the brand’s advertising pieces, through the theoretical approach of the Semiolinguistic Theory (ST) by French linguist Patrick Charaudeau.

Risk allocation of financial contracts under symmetric information and market power

External corporate financing typically involves con tracts presenting a majority of the financial risks of the entrepreneurial activity on the entrep reneur. In academic literature, this one-sided risk allocation is usually justified by the informa tional advantages and unobservable actions of the entrepreneur. This article develops two alte rnative behavioral explanations for this observation. By conducting a non-computer-based lab oratory experiment, we created an environment, in which adverse selection and moral h azard (as classical problems related to asymmetric information) could be eliminated. The fa ct that resulting contracts between the investors and entrepreneurs in the experiment on av erage imposed most of the financial risks on the entrepreneur challenges classical academic e xplanations based on asymmetric information.
The mechanics of continuum robots: Model-based sensing and control

This dissertation addresses modeling, control, and sensing with continuum robots. In particular, two continuum robot architectures are studied: (1) concentric-tube designs, and (2) designs actuated by embedded wires, cables, or tendons. The modeling approaches and sensing and control methods developed are also applicable to many other varieties of continuum robot designs. Concentric-tube continuum robot designs are also termed “active cannulas” because of their potential use as dexterous, needle sized manipulators for minimally invasive medical applications. These robots are composed of multiple pre-shaped tubes arranged concentrically, and their shape and pose are the result of elastic deformations, caused by interaction among the component tubes as well as external loads on the device. We derive two predictive models which describe this behavior using the principle of minimum potential energy and Cosserat-rod theory. The proposed models are each validated experimentally. Tendon-driven continuum manipulators are also being developed for a variety of applications. The kinematics of these robots are also governed by elastic deformations resulting from tendon interactions with the backbone structure as well as external loading. We show that this behavior may be modeled by coupling the Cosserat-rod model with Cosserat-string models. This approach can be used to analyze designs in which the tendons are routed in general three-dimensional curves, as well as designs with precurved backbone structures, thus providing tools for the analysis and control of a large set of possible designs. vi Model-based control of tendon-driven and concentric-tube robots is challenging because solving the kinematic and static models is often computationally burdensome. To address this, a we derive a method for obtaining Jacobians and compliance matrices for flexible robots which is computationally efficient enough to be used for real-time simulation and control. We then describe a Jacobian-based control algorithm and a deflection-based method for estimating applied forces on a flexible robot. The feasibility of these approaches is demonstrated in simulation and on robot hardware.
Interference Detection in Slow FH/QPSK Systems Over Fading Channels

In this paper, we present an algorithm to detect unknown interference in slow frequency-hopped quadrature phase-shift-keying systems. Both partial-band noise interference and multitone interference are considered. The algorithm is developed based on the correlator outputs over one hop. A suitable threshold level is derived for detection. We formulate the analytical expressions for probability of detection for both interference models. Numerical results reveal that the proposed algorithm can detect both interference types even at low interference power.

Design and Analysis of Micro Swimmers with Study of MechanicalInvestigations using Helical Spring Models

The study on micro swimmers is a growing interest in research now. The motion or mobility of an object at microscopic world is different and difficult to understand when compared to macroscopic world. In this research paper, the study about the micro swimmers which are simply called as swimmers is considered. In general, the basic form of a swimmer was introduced as 3-sphere model and is to be usually found a wide use in theoretical, numerical and experimental research. In this paper, it has been modified and extended the helical spring model in various ways that allows gaining knowledge, insight into many general principles of micro swimmers by introducing 3 kinds of helical spring swimmer models and analyzing several parameters of them gives us an optimal design. The present research paper consists of both numerical study for the equation of motion and corresponding analytical investigation and find the values of various parameters like deformations, velocities etc. for each individual swimmer. By analyzing those results it had been framed out the optimal design of a helical spring micro swimmer.
PERCEPTION OF WORK PROCESSES AUTOMATION AND REMUNERATION EXPECTATIONS. SURVEY ON STUDENTS IN CRACOW

N ew technology stimulates changes in a large scope of social and economic phenomena (Avant, 2014), such as: economy sectors (Godin, 2006), product and processes innovations, business process and models (Blaschke et al., 2017), as well as corporate structures (Brown et al., 2014; Snow et al., 2017). These technologies, which include digital technologies, robotics and artificial intelligence, refer to automation of both mass production and office processes. For instance, Hindle et al. (2017, p. 5) shows that robotic process automation (RPA) experienced in 2016 a 68% growth rate on the global market, and by 2024 it will be valued 8.75 billion USD. Similarly, other studies suggest that global shared services centres are the sector where such solutions are introduced to the highest extent (Deloitte, 2017, p. 16; Lacity, Willcocks, 2016; Accenture, 2005; Lacity, Willcocks, 2012). Poland presently holds the third place (ex aequo) with China and Mexico, among the most frequently indicated countries for locating shared services centres, after the United States (14% of the indications) and India (12%) (Deloitte, 2017, p. 6). Business services in Poland are typically located in Cracow, Warsaw or Wroclaw, as indicated by maturity and employment statistics (ABSL, 2019, p. 6). This sector is particularly important for the population covered by the study, in particular students of the city of Cracow, who constitute the labour supply for shared service centres. The paper investigates whether the risk of automation of professions assigned to particular fields of study is considered by the future labour market entrants and reflected in their remuneration expectations.

Estimation of the Inclusive Development Index Based on the REL-PCANet Neural Network Model

In 2018, at the World Economic Forum in Davos it was presented a new countries’ economic performance metric named the Inclusive Development Index (IDI) composed of 12 indicators. The new metric implies that countries might need to realize structural reforms for improving both economic expansion and social inclusion performance. That is why, it is vital for the IDI calculation method to have strong statistical and mathematical basis, so that results are accurate and transparent for public purposes. In the current work, we propose a novel approach for the IDI estimation — the Ranking Relative Principal Component Attributes Network Model (REL-PCANet). The model is based on RELARM and RankNet principles and combines elements of PCA, techniques applied in image recognition and learning to rank mechanisms. Also, we define a new approach for estimation of target probabilities matrix 𝑇 𝑅𝑛𝑒𝑡 to reflect dynamic changes in countries’ inclusive development. Empirical study proved that REL-PCANet ensures reliable and robust scores and rankings, thus is recommended for practical implementation.
HER-2/neu Amplification Predicts Poor Survival in Node-positive Breast Cancer1

HER-2/neu protooncogene amplification and protein expression were analyzed with slot blot and Western blot techniques, respectively, in more than 300 invasive primary breast tumors of all stages. Amplification (2>30 copies) was found in 17% of these tumors and high expression was seen in 19%. There was a striking coincidence between gene amplification and high expression. Tumors associated with many involved axillary lymph nodes or with Stage IV disease were more often HER-2/neu amplified or overexpressed. Furthermore, gene alteration was strongly correlated with the absence of steroid receptors and with larger tumor size. High expression without gene amplification was seen in a minor subset of tumors of less aggressive character. Neither amplification nor overexpression was correlated with disease outcome for patients with negative axillary lymph nodes. For node-positive patients, however, HER-2/neu amplification was a significant predictor of early relapse and death (median follow-up = 45 months), and a similar trend, although not significant, existed for high gene expression. Multivariate analyses indi cated that HER-2/neu alterations were not independent predictors of
Culture and Decision: Cross-Cultural Similarities and Variations in Resource Allocation between European Canadians and East Asians

People engage in a variety of decision making tasks in daily life, in which people’s experiences and strategies during the decision making tasks are affected by cultural influences. The primary objective of this dissertation was to examine the role of analytic versus holistic thinking styles on resource allocation across cultures. Analytic thinking style, which is more prevalent in North America, refers to a linear view about the world where objects’ properties remain stable due to the independent nature of the relationships among objects. In contrast, holistic thinking style, which is more prevalent in East Asia, refers to a non-linear view of how the world is organized in which people perceive change to be a constant phenomenon due to the complex interactions among elements in the universe (Nisbett, Peng, Choi & Norenzayan, 2001). I conducted three cross-cultural studies to understand this phenomenon. Study 1 tested the role of analytic versus holistic thinking styles on people’s resource allocation. Study 2 showed evidence that supported the causal link from cultural thinking styles to decision making experiences in resource allocation. Study 3 examined the role of context-sensitivity, which was found to be higher in East Asian societies than in North American societies, in resource allocation. In Study 1, Hong Kong Chinese, a representative group of holistic cultures, and European Canadians, a representative group of analytic cultures, completed a resource allocation task (i.e., fort game). The results showed that the allocation pattern of European Canadians was more concentrated than that of Hong Kong Chinese. In Study 2, thinking styles were manipulated in which Hong Kong Chinese and European Canadian participants were reminded of either holistic thinking style (by watching a movie showing an nonlinear trend) or analytic thinking style (by watching a movie showing a linear trend). Regardless of cultural backgrounds, the allocation pattern was more concentrated in the analytic condition than in the holistic condition. Finally, the role of CULTURE AND DECISION MAKING iii context-sensitivity across cultures in resource allocation among Japanese, Hong Kong Chinese and European Canadian participants was examined in Study 3. The results showed that East Asians, especially the Japanese, were more likely to change their resource allocation in a manner consistent with experimental manipulation than European Canadians. Implications of these findings for research using experimental manipulation, cross-cultural research, and applied research are discussed.
Cloning and Characterization of Two Human Skeletal Muscle 0-Actinin Genes Located on Chromosomes

Conserved sequences of dystrophin, 0-spectrin, and a-actinin were used to plan a set of degenerate oligonucleotide primers with which we amplified a portion of a human a-actinin gene transcript. Using this short clone 88 a probe, we isolated and characterized fulllength cDNA clones for two human a-actinin genes (ACTNB and ACTN3). These genes encode proteins that are structurally similar to known a-actinins with -80% amino acid identity to each other and to the previously characterized human onmuscle gene. ACTNB is the human homolog of a previously characterized chicken gene while ACTN3 represents a novel gene product. Northern blot analysis demonstrated that ACTNB is expressed in both skeletal and cardiac muscle, but ACTN3 expression is limited to skeletal muscle. As with other muscle-specific isoforms, the EFhand domains in ACTNB and ACTN3 are predicted to be incapable of binding calcium, suggesting that actin binding is not calcium sensitive. ACTNB was mapped to human chromosome lq42-q43 and ACTN3 to l lq13-ql4 by somatic cell hybrid panels and fluorescent in situ hybridization. These results demonstrate that some of the isoform diversity of a-actinins is the result of transcription from different genetic loci.
A Study of Vulnerability Identifiers i n Code Comments: Source, Purpose, and Severity

—Software vulnerability is one of the weaknesses in computer security that challenges developers to rectify. Software maintainers rely on code comments to maintain their source code, including fixing vulnerability issues. To facilitate understanding the security issues in the related code, vulnerability identifiers are commonly included in code comments. However, not all vulnerability-related code comments describe clearly the purposes of the inclusion of the identifiers. Based on this evidence, we investigate the importance of vulnerability identifiers contained in source code comments, which is the novelty of this paper. We performed a study of 1,491 code comments that refer to vulnerability identifiers to define their categories. We then applied a mixed-method approach to classifying the types of the related repository and code, the rationale of identifier references, and the severity level of vulnerabilities in the code. The results indicate that vulnerability identifiers in code comments are useful to notify security issues for the related source code, and our study widens up chances for future work to further investigate these problems.
Automated Patching for Unreproducible Builds

Software reproducibility plays an essential role in establishing trust between source code and the built artifacts, by comparing compilation outputs acquired from independent users. Although the testing for unreproducible builds could be automated, fixing unreproducible build issues poses a set of challenges within the reproducible builds practice, among which we consider the localization granularity and the historical knowledge utilization as the most significant ones. To tackle these challenges, we propose a novel approach RepFix that combines tracing-based fine-grained localization with history-based patch generation mechanisms. On the one hand, to tackle the localization granularity challenge, we adopt system-level dynamic tracing to capture both the system call traces and user-space function call information. By integrating the kernel probes and user-space probes, we could determine the location of each executed build command more accurately. On the other hand, to tackle the historical knowledge utilization challenge, we design a similarity based relevant patch retrieving mechanism, and generate patches by applying the edit operations of the existing patches. With the abundant patches accumulated by the reproducible builds practice, we could generate patches to fix the unreproducible builds automatically. To evaluate the usefulness of RepFix, extensive experiments are conducted over a dataset with 116 real-world packages. Based on RepFix, we successfully fix the unreproducible build issues for 64 packages. Moreover, we apply RepFix to the Arch Linux packages, and successfully fix four packages. Two patches have been accepted by the repository, and there is one package for which the patch is pushed and accepted by its upstream repository, so that the fixing could be helpful for other downstream repositories.
CONTRACTION-INDUCED MUSCLE DAMAGE

Markofski, MM and Braun, WA. Influence of menstrual cycle on indices of contraction-induced muscle damage. J Strength Cond Res 28(9): 2649–2656, 2014—Limited evidence suggests women exhibit a dampened response to contractioninduced muscle damage (CIMD). The purpose of this study was to examine if differences in symptoms of CIMD exist when induced in the menstrual cycle follicular or luteal phase. Sixteen resistance exercise trained women between the ages of 18–37 completed 75 eccentric-biased extension exercises with their nondominant arm. Creatine kinase (CK), elbow joint angles, arm volume, strength, and soreness were measured over 7 days. Estrogen was higher (p , 0.001) in the luteal group. The high estrogen group (luteal) had an overall greater strength decrement and higher CK concentration at 96 hours. Significant time effects were present for CK, elbow extension, elbow flexion, arm volume, and soreness. With the exception of strength and CK, signs and symptoms of CIMD were independent of menstrual cycle phase. Estrogen concentration in women may have limited effects on symptoms associated with muscle damage, but further research in this area is warranted.
