Taking Action Against Cyberbullying – A Training Ma nual

Education faces new challenges, as a result of the increased use of information technology among young people. Cyberbullying, a new form of bullying which involves the use of technological devices, such as e-mail and the Internet, is increasingly regarded as a major problem and a threat for young people health and development. In the context of the EU-funded CyberTraining project1, partners from Germany, Ireland, Spain, Portugal, UK, Switzerland, Norway and Bulgaria have developed a training manual on cyberbullying for trainers. This manual is intended to help mainly professionals involved in training young people, parents, and school staff, by providing them with clear guidance, knowledge and resources. The Taking action against cyberbullying training manual, which is available in form of an eBook in English, Portuguese, Spanish, German and Bulgarian (at http://www.cybertraining-project.org), was built based on a multi-level research process, that involved a needs assessment conducted with trainers across partner countries and also a qualitative questioning process that aimed at structuring experts` views on the cyberbullying problem. In this paper, after summarising the main findings of research conducted with trainers and experts, we describe the manual structure and content. The eBook consists of seven modules that can be used in a flexible way, according to the specificity of the training target group. The first four modules offer a general introduction into training skills and strategies, ICT and Internet safety, cyberbullying, and European approaches tackling cyberbullying. Further chapters provide guidelines, practical tips and advice for trainers who work with parents, schools, and young people. The cybertraining manual is being adapted as a main resource in the EU-funded project CyberTraining-4-Parents, currently under development, that aims to provide face-to-face, as well as moderated and self-directed online courses on cyberbullying for parents. This paper also offers a short overview of this project.
GOAL SCORING CHARATERISTICS IN SOCCER: ARE THEY TECHNIQUE AND TIME DEPENDENT?

The purpose of the present study is to examine the goal scoring patterns of the Greek soccer league. Eight seasons of the league (2001-2002 to 2008-2009) were analyzed. The games were divided into: two-45 minute periods, six-15 minute periods and home and away games. Similarly, the scoring technique and the month at which the goals were scored were also recorded. The results showed a significant increase in the frequency of goal scoring at the second half and at the home conducted games. Analysis of variance showed statistically significant differences for the goals scored across the six, 15-min periods and the month in which the goals were scored. The kick was the most efficient goal scoring technique. The results have shown that the frequency of goals scored and the technique used for scoring are time dependent. Therefore, similar lines for the aim of the training sessions could be used.
In Vitro Activity of Amphotericin B in Combination with Statins against Clinical and Environmental Rhizopus oryzae Strains

Background: Mucormycosis is an acute and invasive fungal infection with a high mortality rate. Mucorales are less sensitive than other types of fungi to most antifungal agents. Amphotericin B (AMB) is one treatment option for this infection, but in recent studies, the antifungal activity of statins against Mucorales was shown. Therefore, therapy that combines AMB with these agents may have better effects in management of patients with mucormycosis. We evaluated the in vitro activity of AMB alone and in combination with statins, against Mucorales. Methods: Susceptibility profiles of AMB alone and in combination with two statins, atorvastatin (ATO) and lovastatin (LOV) determined against clinical (n: 15) and environmental (n: 5) Rhizopus oryzae isolates, obtained between Jan 2009 and Oct 2016 from patients with uncontrolled diabetes mellitus and cancer referred to the Department of Parasitology and Medical Mycology of Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran. It was performed by microdilution method, based on the Clinical and Laboratory Standard Institute (CLSI) M38-A2 guideline. Results: All clinical and environmental isolates were susceptible to AMB (MIC≤1 μg/mL). The results of the interactions between AMB and the two statins were positive. The AMB-ATO (GM: 0.13 μg/Ml) combination produced greater activity than the AMB-LOV (GM: 0.26 μg/mL) combination. AMB, in combination with ATO and LOV, reacts positively against clinical and environmental R. oryzae isolates. Conclusion: This combination strategy may lead to more effective treatment of mucormycosis and fewer side effects using low dose of AMB.
LASER SPECTROSCOPY APPLIED TO ANALYSIS OF ACTIVE YOUNG WOMEN'S BREATH

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of aerobic training on oxidative stress by measuring the ethylene biomarker using the laser photoacoustic spectroscopy (LPAS) method. Three women (30–40 years old), were included in this research. The exercise training protocol was performed in a fitness class (50 minutes session) and consisted of 10 minutes initiation in the exercises, 30 minutes step and great choreographies with music, the last 10 minutes being dedicated to the body relaxation. The determinations suggested that the ethylene biomarker was smaller after the exercise training protocol than before the exercise, which means that this type of aerobic can protect cells from oxidative stress.
Clopidogrel pathway.

After oral administration, clopidogrel is rapidly absorbed. Owing to its extensive metabolism, clopidogrel is not detected in human plasma. Clopidogrel is a prodrug that is absorbed in the intestine [3,4] and activated in the liver [5]. The conversion of clopidogrel to its active metabolite requires two sequential oxidative steps. As shown in Fig. 1, the first step leads to formation of 2-oxo-clopidogrel, followed by the conversion of 2-oxoclopidogrel to the active metabolite. CYP1A2, CYP2B6, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, and CYP3A4/5 are implicated as cytochrome P450 enzymes involved in the metabolism of clopidogrel. However, the relative importance of the individual enzymes and which part of the reaction they are involved in are controversial, as discussed in the literature. Savi et al. [1] showed that clopidogrel was converted into 2-oxo-clopidogrel by cytochrome P450 monooxygenase-dependent metabolism in vitro and that hydrolysis of 2-oxo-clopidogrel generates the active metabolite. Several publications indicate a major role for CYP3A4 [6,7]. Other in-vitro studies showed that CYP1A2, CYP2B6, and CYP2C19 were capable of forming the 2-oxo-clopidogrel form from clopidogrel in liver microsomes [8,9]. When 2-oxo-clopidogrel was used as a substrate, the enzymes CYP3A4, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, and CYP2B6 produced the active metabolite [8,9]. The study by Kazui et al. [9] concluded that CYP2C19 contributes substantially to both oxidative steps and that CYP3A4 contributes substantially to the second oxidative step.
General D-stability and D-stabilization for linear stochastic systems: Continuous-time case

By means of the spectrum technique of the generalized Lyapunov operator, the notions of D-stability and D-stabilization are defined for linear stochastic time-invariant systems. A necessary and sufficient condition for the D-stability and D-stabilization is respectively presented by linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) technique and the matrix Kronecker product theory, what we have obtained generalize the results of deterministic systems.
Decentralization and Innovative Behavior: The Moderating Role of Supervisor Support

The importance of innovative behavior for organizational effectiveness has been wildly accepted. Spite of the importance of organizational structure to promote the innovative behavior, little is known regarding the decentralized system in service industry. In addition, the role of supervisor support in such circumstances is highly significant; however, the link between decentralization, supervisory support and innovation is not particularly clear. Therefore, the current study aims to examine the impact of decentralization on employees’ innovative behavior and also to investigate the moderating role of supervisor support in this process. Data was collected from 323 employees from five star hotels in North Cyprus. Structural equation modelling was applied to evaluate the measurements and model’s fit. The study hypotheses were tested using LISREL 8.54. The results revealed that decentralized system has a positive impact on employees’ innovative behavior. Moreover, moderating role of supervisory support in helping employees to achieve organizational innovative goals was significant. The existence of decentralization opens new opportunities for organizations and increases the innovative behavior among employees. Employees who have degree of freedom for decision-making and risk-taking within an organization are more creative, and will take the initiative to seek new and efficient ways and approaches of doing their jobs.
MEANDERING CHANNELS : DETECTING FRESHWATER AND BRACKISH-WATER CONDITIONS FROM THE ICHNOFABRIC APPROACH

Meandering channels occur in fluvial environments but also are common in coastal settings, where they can be modulated by the action of tide and/or waves, and affected by salinity fluctuations. Because tidal and wave-generated features are not always preserved and some of these structures may occur in more than one environment (i.e inclined heterolithic stratification in fluvial, estuarine and open-marine settings), accurate interpretations of the depositional setting of meandering channels can be difficult using only physical sedimentology. However, by means of the ichnofabric approach, it is possible to distinguish between a continental or a marginalmarine setting and also to differentiate the associated subenvironments in order to delineate complex facies mosaics. This study is based on the Upper Cretaceous deposits of the Tremp Formation in South-Central Pyrenees (Spain), which record sedimentation in a meandering channel system located close to the shoreline. These deposits have been considered as formed in a fluvial-freshwater system (e.g. Vila et al., 2013) but signatures of marine/tidal influence have been documented as well (Díaz-Molina, 1987; Díez-Canseco et al., 2013). The meandering channel deposits of the Tremp Formation outcrop along a 300 m stratigraphic section, displaying numerous examples of their depositional geometry and the detailed distribution of their sedimentological and ichnological attributes (Figure 1a).
LOAD-DEFLECTION BEHAVIOR OF REINFORCED CONCRETE BEAMS STRENGTHENED WITH CFRP SHEETS

In this study experimental investigation of the deflection control of R.C. beams strengthened using continuous Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) sheets is carried out. The test results show that the strengthening with (CFRP) sheet has a significant effect on the load-deflection response by increasing beam stiffness especially beyond the precracking stage. By using (CFRP), the maximum deflection is decreased by (26.7%) in comparison with control beam. The effect of Span to depth ratio has also an important role in the control of deflection. The reduction of (Span/Depth) ratio from (20) to (15, 12.5 and 10) will reduce the maximum deflection by (21%, 30.3% and 41.6%) respectively. The test results show the load-deflection response has not been affected significantly by increasing the steel reinforcement ratio at the pre-cracking stage. However, this behavior is dramatically changed at the cracking stage, by increasing steel reinforcement ratio of (2×ρmin) and (ρmax) as compared with (ρmin), the maximum deflection is reduced by (13.5% and 29.2%) respectively. Also the load-deflection response is not affected by the grade of steel reinforcement at the cracking stage. After the cracking stage with the anticipation of large contribution of tension reinforcement, the beam reinforced with steel of yield stress equal to (460 MPa) shows a difference in deflection with the beam reinforced with steel of yield stress equal to (300 MPa), the increment in the ultimate deflection is (23.8 %).
Study of the Ionospheric TEC Rate in Hong Kong Region and its GPS / GNSS Application

This paper proposes the derivation of accurate ionospheric total electron contents (TEC) rate data using GNSS carrier phase measurements without the need of ambiguity resolution. The GNSS measurements collected at 30-second interval during an ionosphere quiet period (1-2 January 2009) and a severe ionosphere disturbance period (31 March to 1 April 2001) from the Hong Kong permanent GNSS network SatRef are used to implement this proposed method. The data analysis results show that the nominal slant TEC rate over Hong Kong, a low latitude region, is about 0.01 TECU/sec during ionosphere quiet periods and the nominal slant TEC rate in ionosphere disturbance periods is 0.03 TECU/sec—three times of TEC rate in ionosphere quiet periods. This paper also analyzes the application of the TEC rate information in the cycle slip detection and repair for the GPS/GNSS carrier phase measurements. The analysis shows that the use of this information is very effective in identifying even very small cycle slips (one cycle). This method is particularly useful in processing high rate GPS/GNSS observations e.g. real-time kinematic surveying. This paper also exemplifies the interesting and important coupling relationship between the GPS/GNSS and ionosphere research.
An Analogue of Shannon Information Theory for Detection and Stabilization via Noisy Discrete Communication Channels

The paper addresses both detection and stabilization problems involving communication errors and capacity constraints. Discrete-time partially observed linear systems are studied. Unlike the classic theory, the sensor signals are transmitted to the estimator/controller over a noisy digital communication link modeled as a stochastic stationary discrete memoryless channel. It is shown that for noise-free plants, the Shannon capacity of the channel constitutes the border separating the cases where stabilization and reliable detection (asymptotic state estimation) with arbitrarily large probability are and are not possible, respectively.

There was considered the problematic of search for rational variants of mutual investment control strategies in the systems of cyber security of large educational institutions, for example, universities of Kazakhstan and Ukraine. Was announced the model intended as an information and algorithmic component for the decision support system designed by us in the tasks of analyzing and optimizing mutual investment strategies in the information and educational environment of educational institutions and their cybersecurity systems. Our solution, unlike the works of other authors in this segment of scientific research, differs in the ability to determine specific parameters and recommendations in the process of mutual investment. The model and the software product create prerequisites for optimizing management decisions in the investment process to the information and educational platforms and to the cybersecurity of educational institutions.
Cezary Dominiak MULTI-CRITERIA DECISION AIDING PROCEDURE UNDER RISK AND UNCERTAINTY

Decision making under uncertainty is a very important area of decision theory. Uncertainty implies that in certain situations a person does not have the information which would adequately describe, prescribe or predict a system, its behavior or other characteristics, deterministically and numerically. Thus uncertainty relates to a state of the human mind, i.e., lack of complete knowledge about something. In this paper we propose an interactive multicriteria decision aiding procedure which enables to take into consideration together uncertainty and risk factors. The uncertainty factors we consider when we don’t know the probabilities of the states of nature. The risk factors are applied when we are able to estimate the probability distributions. The proposed procedure uses scenario planning technique to deal with uncertainty and Monte Carlo simulation to deal with risk factors. Proposed decision aiding procedure is illustrated by the complete numerical example.

Modeling contexts for automatic learning applied to morphosyntactic analysis (Modelagem de contextos para aprendizado automático aplicado à análise morfossintática)

Part-of-speech tagging involves assigning to words in a sentence their part-of-speech class based on the contexts they appear in. Variable-Length Markov Chains (VLMCs) offer a way of modeling contexts longer than trigrams without suffering too much from data sparsity and state space complexity. Even so, two words in Portuguese show a high degree of ambiguity: que and a. The number of errors tagging these words corresponds to a quarter of the total errors made by a VLMC-based tagger. Moreover, these words seem to show two different types of ambiguity: one depending on non-local context and one on right context. We searched ways of expanding the VLMC-based model with a number of different models and methods in order to tackle these issues. The approaches showed variable degrees of success, with one particular method (Guided Learning) solving much of the ambiguity of a. We explore reasons why this happened. Regarding que, throughout this thesis we propose and test various methods for learning contextual information in order to try to disambiguate it. We show how, in all of them, the level of ambiguity shown by que remains practically constant.
Study of tau reconstruction algorithms using pp collisions data collected at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV

Proton–proton collision events collected with the CMS experiment at LHC at a center– of–mass energy of √ s = 7 TeV in 2010 are used to commission the algorithms for reconstruction and identification of tau lepton hadronic decays. Four different types of algorithms are considered: three based on particle–flow event reconstruction and one based on combinations of tracks and calorimeter clusters. Probabilities for quark and gluon jets to pass the tau identification criteria of the different algorithms are measured in data dominated by QCD multi–jet events and compared to predictions of Monte Carlo simulations.
Design of A 11 KW p Grid Connected Solar Photovoltaic Power Plant on 100 m 2 available Area in the Birbhum District of West Bengal

The depletion of fossil fuel resources on a worldwide basis has necessitated an urgent search for alternative energy sources to meet present day demands. Solar energy is a clean, inexhaustible and environment-friendly potential renewable energy option. A stand-alone solar photovoltaic cannot provide a continuous supply of energy due to seasonal and periodic variations. Therefore, in order to satisfy load demand, grid connected energy systems are now being implemented that combine solar and conventional conversion units. The objective of this work is to estimate the potential of grid quality solar photovoltaic power in the Birbhum district of West Bengal and develop a system based on the potential energy estimated for an available land area of 100 m 2 . Specific equipment specifications are utilized based on the availability of components in India.

The Great Big Alveolar TI Cell: Evolving Concepts and Paradigms

Pulmonary alveolar type I cells (TI cell) are very large (ñ5400 µm2 in surface area) squamous cells that cover more than 98% of the internal surface area of rodent lungs. In the past, TI cells were believed to serve only passive barrier functions, with no active functional properties in the lung. The fairly recent development of methods to isolate TI cells has permitted investigation of functions of this cell type for the first time. Resolvable by electron microscopy, TI cells contain microvilli and organelles typically associated with metabolic functions, such as mitochondria, abundant smooth and rough endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus. TI cells contain the molecular machinery necessary for ion transport and take up Na+, K+, and Cl-, from which one can infer that it is likely that they play a role in ion and fluid transport in vivo. Because the abundance/µm2 of highly selective Na+ channels (HSC channels, consisting of all three ENaC subunits) is the same in TI and TII cells and because TI cells cover the majority of the lung internal surface, TI cells may play the major role in bulk transport of Na+. In vitro, TI cells can proliferate and exhibit phenotypic plasticity, raising the question of whether this cell type may play a role in development and lung repair after injury. From gene expression analysis of TI cells, one can infer a variety of other possible functions for TI cells. The development of techniques to administer transgenes specifically to TI cells will permit direct study of this cell type in vivo.
