Intergenerational transmission of political party affiliation∗

We investigate the intergenerational transmission of political party affiliation by using Swedish register data including all nominated politicians for the years 1982 to 2014. First, we demonstrate that there is a strong link between individuals and their parents concerning choice of political party affiliation. We also find that the intergenerational transmission is not only present between parents and children, but also existent over the generations and across siblings. Our second aim is to investigate the mechanisms behind this result, which we do by first discussing two hypotheses: A socialization pathway and a materialistic pathway. We then bring these hypotheses to the data and find that the socialization explanation seems to matter more for explaining the intergenerational transmission. ∗We thank Sven Oskarsson, Karl-Oskar Lindgren and Moa Fröding Gruneau for helpful comments.

KNOWLEDGE OVERLAP IN INFORMATION SYSTEMS DEVELOPMENT : AN NK FITNESS LANDSCAPES MODEL

Information systems development (ISD) is essentially a search process by which the ISD team seeks to find an optimal system configuration among numerous feasible configurations that produces the greatest business value. As information systems are embodiments of application domain knowledge and technical knowledge, ISD requires both in order to be effective. The business unit is ultimately responsible for making business design choices whereas the IS unit is largely responsible for making technical design choices. Complexity in ISD arises when these design choices are interdependent so that the contribution of one design choice to business value may depend on other design choices. We argue that knowledge overlaps between business and IS play an important role in the ISD process. However, little research has examined the complex and nuanced effects of knowledge overlaps on ISD performance under different conditions of design choice interdependencies. Using an NK fitness landscapes model of ISD, this research investigates how knowledge overlaps influence ISD performance (1) when the level of interdependencies among design choices varies, (2) for different distributions of within-unit and between-unit interdependencies, and (3) when between-unit interdependencies are balanced or skewed. We report the results of a simulation study and discuss their implications and insights. We present propositions drawn from the simulation results.
The Key Technologies and Applications of Power Fiber to the Home in Yunnan

The power market reform energetically promotes the implement of the power fiber to the home (PFTTH) systems, and provides unprecedented opportunities to it. PFTTH, based on the optical-fiber core network, is outstanding in link bandwidth, time delay and reliability. PFTTH can offer intelligent control and convenient interaction, which benefits the diversity of electric power communication services. Based on the PFTTH experimental project in Yunnan Yuxi, this paper details the network architecture and the design of the whole system scheme. And the key technologies in PFFTH are analysed, including optical fibre composite low-voltage cable (OPLC) and xPON technology. With passive optical network technology, the PFTTH experimental project provides the feasibility to develop communication services, such as measurement automation, intelligent power service, internet access and network security, which are all introduced detailly.
Performance Evaluation of Advanced Bread Wheat Genotypes for Yield Stability Using the AMMI Stability Model

Bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is one of the staple foods for large proportion of the Ethiopian population. Ethiopia is the largest wheat producer in Sub-Saharan Africa, The country cultivates a total of more than 1.6 million hectares, and yet imports about 1/3 of the national requirement to make up for annual deficits. To increase wheat production in the country, adaptive breeding has been in progress to develop promising lines for broad adaptation or to develop wheat varieties that perform well over diverse agricultural environments. In this study a total of fifteen genotypes, eight advanced lines from CIMMYT/ICARDA source, five Ethiopian crosses, and two checks, were tested across six locations during 2017 and 2018 seasons. Yield stability index (YSI) was calculated by ranking the mean grain yield of genotypes (RY) across environments and by ranking the AMMI stability values (RASV). The smallest YSI value of 5 was exhibited by variety Hidass and entries ETBW8084, ETBW9037, ETBW9470 and ETBW8459 had YSI values of 6, 7, 12, and 12, respectively, and indicated stability across locations with comparatively higher yields. The highest YSI (30) was recorded by genotype ETBW8075 which is characterized as unstable and low yielder. ETBW 8084 was high yielder and with bi<1, (but bi is 1.236) it indicated that it will perform well in diverse environments including marginal and low yielding areas. On the other hand ETBW8075, with high deviation from regression, Si= 4.77, was the lowest yielder and poor performance across tested locations. Therefore, ETBW8084 is recommended for production in diverse agro-ecological environments, and ETBW9470 is recommended for optimum environment. These two lines will be tested national variety verification trials (NVVT) in 2018 as candidate varieties for a possible release for production by the resource poor farmers.
Recent advances in cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) for breast cancer therapy

The serious problems of conventional breast cancer therapy strategies such as drug resistance, severe side effects, and lack of selectivity prompted the development of various cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) devices. Due to its advanced technology, CAP can produce a unique environment rich in reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS), photons, charged ions, and an electric field, making it a promising revolutionary platform for cancer therapy. Despite substantial technological successes, CAP‐based therapeutic systems are encounter with distinct limitations, including low control of the generated RONS, poor knowledge about its anticancer mechanisms, and challenges concerning designing, manufacturing, clinical translation, and commercialization, which must be resolved. The latest developments in CAP‐based therapeutic systems for breast cancer treatment are discussed in this review. More significantly, the integration of CAP‐based medicine approaches with other breast cancer therapies, including chemo‐ and nanotherapy is thoroughly addressed.
Solving Many-Objective Optimization Problems via Multistage Evolutionary Search

With the increase in the number of optimization objectives, balancing the convergence and diversity in evolutionary multiobjective optimization becomes more intractable. So far, a variety of evolutionary algorithms have been proposed to solve many-objective optimization problems (MaOPs) with more than three objectives. Most of the existing algorithms, however, find difficulties in simultaneously counterpoising convergence and diversity during the whole evolutionary process. To address the issue, this paper proposes to solve MaOPs via multistage evolutionary search. To be specific, a two-stage evolutionary algorithm is developed, where the convergence and diversity are highlighted during different search stages to avoid the interferences between them. The first stage pushes multiple subpopulations with different weight vectors to converge to different areas of the Pareto front. After that, the nondominated solutions coming from each subpopulation are selected for generating a new population for the second stage. Moreover, a new environmental selection strategy is designed for the second stage to balance the convergence and diversity close to the Pareto front. This selection strategy evenly divides each objective dimension into a number of intervals, and then one solution having the best convergence in each interval will be retained. To assess the performance of the proposed algorithm, 48 benchmark functions with 7, 10, and 15 objectives are used to make comparisons with five representative many-objective optimization algorithms.
Analyses on the Dynamic Characteristic of Power Coupling Mechanism During Engine Starting in Hybrid Electric Vehicle

In view of problem of obviously vibration and noise occurred during engine starting in a hybrid electric vehicle (HEV), the vibration analysis and test of its power coupling mechanism are carried out. After analyzing the structure of power coupling mechanism, the rigid-flexible dynamic model of the double planetary gear power coupling mechanism is developed based on the multi-body system dynamics theory. The multi-body system dynamics model is established under engine starting conditions using ADAMS software. The dynamic characteristics of power coupling mechanism are obtained through analyzing the time domain and frequency domain response curve of gears meshing force and bearings restraining force. At the same time, the HEV vibration and noise test is carried on under the working condition when engine is starting. Both the results of simulation and test demonstrate that the source of noise in power coupling mechanism is the engagement of gear pairs, and there is a severe shock during engine starting.

Beach boys in the informal tourism sector are often identified as sex workers whose behaviour affect the tourists’ experience either positively or negatively. The relationships developed between the beach boys and the tourists constitute important phenomenon in tourism host-guest theory. Thus, the paper brings light to the relationship between beach boys and international tourists visiting Sri Lanka along with their contributions and hindrances towards the tourism development of the country. Further, the findings are compared with similar international cases to grasp a comparative standpoint. The sample consisted of eleven beach boys in Bentota National Holiday resort, whose interviews were recorded, transcribed and analysed through qualitative content analysis method using NVivo 11 tool. The results indicate that the beach boys make diverse attempts to initiate relationships with the tourists by being sales persons, guides, companions and sex partners while some beach boys eventually become the life partners of the foreign female tourists extending the horizons of host-guest theory. The study further discusses the theoretical and managerial implications of the findings.

Septic cerebral thrombosis in neonates: A case report and review of the literature

Introduction: Septic dural-sinus thrombosis is rare; it is one of the most misdiagnosed conditions of our time. It is often associated with a high level of mortality. Especially in neonates who have an underdeveloped immune system and haphazard clinical manifestation. Septic sinus thrombosis frequently involves cavernous sinuses. The superior sagittal sinuses’ involvement is exceptional as it is often associated with a fatal outcome. Studies demonstrate that heparin therapy in sagittal sinus septic thrombosis is unnecessary and that the focus of treatment shall be intravenous antibiotics and early surgical drainage of purulent collections who can be a source of widespread infections. Case Report: We report the case of a three months old boy, without pathological history, admitted in the intensive care unit (ICU) for febrile convulsion resistant to first line therapy. Cerebrospinal fluid analysis results were in favor of pneumococcus pathogens. Cerebral computed tomography (CT) has shown a superior longitudinal sinus thrombophlebitis complicating an encephalitis, with multiple venous infarcts. After which antibiotherapy was changed and anticoagulation added. Six days later, the sedation was stopped to evaluate the neurological state. The patient has shown a persistence of the coma state. After a multidisciplinary discussion, a transcranial Doppler was realized only to confirm the brain death state. The evolution was marked by the death of the patient after three days. Conclusion: In general, cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) is a disease with complex clinical manifestations, atypical in many patients. If an alteration of consciousness is the main symptom in a CVT patient, the prognosis can be bleak. Most patients with CVT have a good prognosis after early anticoagulant and antibiotherapy. Since cerebral hernia is the most common cause of death in CVT, intensive care should be given special attention to the detection and treatment of focal lesions occupying space.

Tel: (614)-439-1846, ext. 3518 3 Dirección electrónica del autor de correspondencia: evegonzal@uach.mx Resumen Las células madre embrionarias (CME) son derivadas de la masa celular interna de blastocitos de mamíferos y debido a su pluripotencia in vitro e in vivo son capaces de generar los 200 tipos celulares identificados en el organismo. El uso de medios selectivos suplementados con determinados factores y la expresión artificial de genes que regulan vías de diferenciación específicas, ha permitido dirigir in vitro la diferenciación de las CME hacia tipos celulares especializados somáticos como células neuronales, cardiacas, etc. Recientes estudios han demostrado que la diferenciación espontánea de las CME, también puede dar origen in vitro a células de tipo germinal que posteriormente se desarrollan hacia células similares a gametos, como son los espermatozoides y óvulos. Lo anterior plantea la interesante idea de generar sistemas in vitro, que permitan dirigir la diferenciación de las CME hacia la formación in vitro de gametos. El desarrollo de estos sistemas tendrá un impacto directo en el entendimiento molecular de la programación genética, que interviene en los procesos de la oogénesis y espermatogénesis, así como el desarrollo de protocolos más eficientes para la clonación animal, clonación terapéutica, fertilización in vitro y transferencia de embriones. En relación a lo anterior, nuestro grupo de trabajo se ha enfocado al estudio de genes denominados ̈maestros ̈, cuya expresión además de darse en etapas muy tempranas de la determinación de la línea germinal, está en relación directa con el correcto desarrollo de las células germinales en los ovarios y testículos, características que los hace candidatos a ser utilizados para dirigir la diferenciación de las CME hacia células de linaje germinal.
Feature Based Cryptanalytic Technique for Digital Forensics Analysis of Visual Cryptographic Digital Image Data Based on Formal Concept Analysis

Lossless pixel value encrypted images still maintains the some properties of their respective original plain images. Ciphered Images that maintain the properties of their plain images of a given domain are very useful in certain applications where the conservation of pixel values but visual concealment is of a paramount concern. Medical images that have a fully reversible and recoverable process are of key importance in Medicine. Hence visually ciphered images stored or transmitted over secured or unsecured networks can also be analyzed in a forensic investigation to determine possible plain image equivalence. Digital Forensics processes have played crucial role in fighting crime both in society and cyberspace. In this paper, feature based cryptanalytic technique for digital forensics analysis of visual cryptographic digital image data based on formal concept analysis was proposed. Different techniques of visual cryptographic approaches were engaged in ciphering the plain image and our proposed approach was engaged in the cryptanalysis of the plain image after feature extractions from both the plain and the ciphered images. A lattice was generated which was then used authenticate and match the ciphered images to their respective ciphered plain images. At the end, the Galois lattice of both ciphered and plain image remained the same.

REDUCED MUSCLE FORCE FOLLOWING EXHAUSTIVE BALLISTIC CONTRACTIONS CAN MAINLY BE ATTRIBUTED TO CENTRAL FATIGUE

Introduction A reduction in maximal voluntary muscle force or power can occur at the level of the muscle (peripheral fatigue) whereas central fatigue describes the failure of the nervous system to drive the motoneurons adequately (Gandevia 2001). During ballistic contractions, indirect measurements suggested that primarily central rather than peripheral fatigue caused a reduction in muscle force (Linnamo et al. 1998). The present study aimed to investigate fatigue-related changes after ballistic contractions with neurophysiological stimulation techniques. Thereby, Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) as well as Peripheral Nerve Stimulation (PNS) were applied to distinguish between central and peripheral fatigue, respectively. Methods 17 healthy subjects (age 26 ± 3 years) without any history of neurological and orthopaedic disorder participated in this study. Subjects performed sets of 20 ballistic isolated dorsiflexions until they could not afford 70% of their individual MVC. Before and after fatigue, Mmax and the corresponding resting motor twitch (PNS) as well as MEP recruitment curves were recorded in the right tibialis anterior muscle. Post measurement took place 2 minutes after subjects finished contractions. Results After fatigue, the slope of the MEP recruitment curves was significantly decreased (p = 0.01). However, TMS motor threshold was unchanged after fatigue (p = 0.74). Similarly, the electrically induced Mmax (p = 0.34) and the resting motor twitch (p = 0.99) were not altered following fatigue. Discussion The most important finding in this study was a decrement of the slope of the MEP recruitment curve with no changes in the TMS motor threshold. This indicates that the inputoutput properties of the motor system were reduced by fatigue. Since Mmax and resting motor twitch did not differ between measuring times, it can be concluded that central fatigue is mainly responsible for the reduction in muscle force.

A New Hybrid Power Conditioner for Suppressing Harmonics and Neutral Line Current in Three-Phase Four-Wire Distribution Power Systems

In this paper, a new hybrid power conditioner is proposed for suppressing harmonic currents and neutral-line current in three-phase four-wire distribution power systems. The proposed hybrid power conditioner is composed of a neutral-line current attenuator and a hybrid power filter. The hybrid power filter, configured by a three-phase power converter and a three-phase tuned power filter, is utilized to filter the nonzero-sequence harmonic currents in the threephase four-wire distribution power system. The three-phase power converter is connected to the inductors of the threephase tuned power filter in parallel, and its power rating can thus be reduced effectively. The tuned frequency of the threephase tuned power filter is set at the fifth harmonic frequency. The neutralline current suppressor is connected between the power capacitors of the three-phase tuned power filter and the neutral line to suppress the neutral-line current in the three-phase four-wire distribution power system. With the major fundamental voltage of the utility dropping across the power capacitors of the three-phase tuned power filter, the power rating of the neutral-line current suppressor can thus be reduced. Hence, the proposed hybrid power conditioner can effectively reduce the power rating of passive and active elements. A hardware prototype is developed to verify the performance of the proposed hybrid power conditioner. Experimental results show that the proposed hybrid power conditioner achieves expected performance.
CHAPTER EIGHT Improbable Curators : Analysing Nostalgia , Authorship and Audience on Tumblr Microblogs Dinu

Launched in 2007 and hosting around 280 million blogs as of February 2016, Tumblr1 is one of the most popular yet under-researched microblogging platforms currently in existence. Having established itself as a premier venue of online popular and youth culture (Dewey, 2015), the service provides an idiosyncratic synesthetic space wherein countless visual and stylistic statements are shared daily, ranging from digital images to literary excerpts, journal entries to animations. The absence of subordinating vertical structures (there exists no real ‘mainstream’ vs. ‘underground’ dynamic here), the possibility of interpreting the blogs both as niche and micro youth media (see Thornton, 1995, pp. 137-151) and the socially interactive element of these unregulated exchanges all reflects a parallel world rich in psycho-social connotations that remains largely uncharted by social scientists.
