Analysing the Structure of the Global Wheat Trade Network: An ERGM Approach

This paper studies the relationship between wheat trading countries using both descriptive and statistical inference methods for complex networks. The global Wheat Trade Network (WTN) and its evolving topological characteristics is analysed for the periods 2009–2013 and 2014–2018, using the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) data. The network characterisation measures in both periods are rather stable. There are some differences, however, in the magnitude of some measures (e.g., connectivity or disassortativity), and a higher degree of inequality in the distribution of the number of partners and the distribution of trade volume in the period 2014–2018. An Exponential Random Graph Model (ERGM) has been applied to identify significant determinants associated with the presence/absence of trade links between countries. The results indicate that wheat trade links are driven mainly by country openness, reciprocity (mutual importer-exporter relationship), whether the exporting country is US or Canada and the geographical location of importer and exporter. Other factors, such as the economic size of the importing country, if the importing country is US or Canada and the land surface of the exporting country also contribute less to capture interlinkages of WTN.
Combining Counseling Techniques With Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to Alleviate Psychological Distress and Non-Suicidal Self-Injury: A Single-Case Study

High level of psychological distress is prevalent among university students. This is because they are faced with numerous challenges, not only their academic performance but also conflicts with family and friends. In some cases, high level of psychological distress may co-occur with non-suicidal selfinjury (NSSI). This research aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a four-session intervention for a client who reported a high level of psychological distress and NSSI tendency. A combination of counseling techniques and several acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) strategies was applied as a four-session intervention. This study used a single-case, pre-test/post-test design, and the study participant was a 22-year-old woman with depressed mood and NSSI tendency. The counseling techniques, including active listening, encouragement, confrontation, reflection of feeling and content, and positive asset search, were used to help the patient reduce her intense emotions and feel better about herself. The ACT techniques, including acceptance, cognitive defusion, and committed action, were applied to help the patient cope with unpleasant feelings and stay committed to her goals. The result of the intervention revealed a decrease in psychological distress, as reflected in the reduction of Hopkins Symptom Checklist-25 (HSCL-25) score from 2.72 to 1.60. The participant also reported a decrease in NSSI tendency from 8 to 1 on the scale of 1–10. In addition, she managed to reduce her intense emotions and discover new, more effective behaviors that align with her goals. These findings suggested that counseling techniques combined with ACT strategies can be an effective treatment to reduce psychological distress and NSSI tendency.
Exploring Barriers and Enablers to Dietitians Completing Body Composition Assessments as Part of Routine Clinical Care 

Background: Malnutrition, sarcopenia and cachexia are clinical wasting syndromes characterised by muscle loss. Systematic monitoring by body composition assessment (BCA) is recommended for the diagnosis, treatment and monitoring of the syndrome(s). However, limited literature exists regarding integration of BCA into routine practice. This study investigated practices, competency, and attitudes of Australian dietitians regarding BCA, to inform a local implementation process.Methods:Applying the Action cycle in the Knowledge to Action framework, surveys were distributed to the 26 dietitians in our department. The survey assessed barriers and enablers to performing routine BCA in clinical care. Results were categorised using the Theoretical Domains Framework (TDF) and suitable interventions mapped using the Behaviour Change Wheel. Results:Twenty-two dietitians (84.6%) completed the survey. Barriers to BCA were identified in all TDF domains. Enablers existed in domains of: Skills; Beliefs about consequences; Goals; Environmental context and resources; Social influences; Intentions; Optimism; Reinforcement. Conclusions:This study showed that hospital dietitians experience numerous individual, team, and organisational barriers to adopt BCAs in clinical practice. Information on barriers and enablers and implementation strategies have been suggested to overcome these barriers to assist BCA adoption into routine practice.
The Features of Online Tourism Information towards Young Traveler Satisfaction: A Case of Kuching the City of Unity

Nowadays, online information serves many functions. Despite solely for shopping purposes, the online platform has tremendously served the worldwide community for information search related to travelling. Hence, the features of online information are critically important to be investigated, in understanding the factors that lead to traveler satisfaction. This study investigates the features of online tourism information that lead to satisfaction of the domestic travelers from Peninsular Malaysia and Sabah to Kuching city of Sarawak Borneo. This study proposes two factors, namely credibility of information and segmentation of information. There was a total of 247 sets of questionnaires completed by domestic travelers who visited Kuching city in the year 2015. It is evident that both credibility and segmentation of online tourism information have significant and positive relationships towards traveler satisfaction. In short, the findings of this study offer a clearer view on the credibility and segmentation of online tourism information from domestic traveler‟s viewpoint.
Asignación de surtido, mercado paralelo y enforcement en la cadena de suministro de artículos de gran consumo: Un análisis empírico

In supply chain of fast moving consumer goods (FMCG), design of the marketing channel is a critical decision where the official distribution is confronted with the members’ behaviors. In this article we present a research about a controversial aspect of supply chain design in the phase of marketing channel: the customer coverage policies for every distributor, in particular, the assignment of assortment to each official distributor. If the distributor is in disagreement with the role assigned by the manufacturer, he can do business in the gray market. We analyze the effect of the supplier enforcement on restraining this distributor’s behavior. With data obtained from official distributors of the food and beverages sector (FMCG), we conclude that a well-structured enforcement is an effective action to preserve the strategy of official distribution.
Plasma Surface Modification of Biodegradable Polymers: A Review

Besides their use as packaging materials, biodegradable polymers can play a major role in tissue engineering as three-dimensional porous structures (scaffolds). The success of these biodegradable scaffolds is, however, determined by the response it elicits from the surrounding biological environment and this response is governed, to a large extent, by the surface characteristics of the scaffold. Multiple approaches have been developed to obtain the desired surface properties, however, in the past decade, the use of non-thermal plasmas for selective surface modification has been a rapidly growing research field. This paper therefore presents a critical overview on recent advances in plasma-assisted surface modification of biodegradable polymers.
Probability and Consequence of Postfire Erosion for Treatability of Water in an Unfiltered Supply System

Forested catchments are critical to water supply in major cities. Many of these catchments face the threat of postwildfire erosion, which can contaminate reservoir water. The aim of this paper is to determine the probability and duration of disruptions to treatability due to runoff‐generated debris flows in the first year after a wildfire, before substantial vegetation recovery takes place. We combine models of reservoir hydrodynamics, postfire erosion, and stochastic rainfall to determine probability and magnitude of sediment concentration at the reservoir water offtake. Central to the paper is our technique for linking model components into a risk framework that gives probabilities to the number of days that the turbidity threshold for treatment is exceeded. The model is applied to the Upper Yarra reservoir, which is the linchpin of the water supply system for Melbourne in SE Australia. However, the framework is applicable to other unfiltered water supply systems where suspended sediment is a risk to treatability. Results show that postwildfire erosion poses a substantial threat, with a relatively high probability (annual exceedance probability = 0.1–0.3) of water being untreatable for >1 year following a high‐severity wildfire. Important factors that influence the risk include postwildfire runoff potential, reservoir temperature, and the amount of clay‐sized grains in eroding headwaters. Assumptions about spatial‐temporal rainfall attributes, reservoir hydrodynamics, and the catchment erosion potential are all important sources of error in our estimate of risk. Our approach to risk quantification will help support planning, risk management, and strategic investment to mitigate impacts.
A jump motion of small molecules in glassy polymers: A molecular dynamics simulation

Motions of small molecules in an amorphous polymer below its glass transition temperature Tg have been studied using molecular dynamics simulation. An infinite length chain model having 600 interacting sites, each representing a CH2 unit, is used. The system, which is composed of the infinite length chain and ten spherical molecules representing oxygen, is examined at 30 deg below Tg. Although most of the molecules are trapped by cages created by the chain, a molecule reveals clear jump motions. During the jump, no significant change is found in the local free volume as well as in the nonbonded energy acting on the molecule. Potential energy surfaces for the molecules clearly show the cooperative process of jump and chain motions: a generation of a vacant cage and a channel which connects two cages. It is found that the molecule passes through the channel without significant energy barrier and concentration of free volume.
„Smartphone addiction”: Fakt oder Fiktion?

ZUSAMMENFASSUNG Gegenstand und Ziel In den vergangenen Jahren wurde vermehrt darauf hingewiesen, dass exzessive Smartphone-Nutzung Merkmale abhängigen Verhaltens aufweisen und damit auch einen eigenständigen Störungswert erlangen kann. In diesem Kontext wurde der Begriff der „smartphone addiction“ eingeführt. In dieser Übersicht soll der aktuelle Wissensstand zu diesem neuen Phänomen zusammengefasst werden. Material und Methoden Selektive Literaturrecherche zur „problematischen“ oder „exzessiven“ Smartphone-Nutzung resp. „smartphone addiction“ unter Berücksichtigung aktueller Befunde aus der Neurobildgebung. Ergebnisse Die „smartphone addiction“ (SPA) kann psychometrisch reliabel erfasst werden. Konservative Schätzungen gehen von einer Prävalenz von ca. 14–31 % bei Jugendlichen und jungen Erwachsenen aus. Die SPA scheint mit vielfältigen anderen Symptomen assoziiert zu sein, insbesondere mit Angst, Depressivität, Impulsivität, Emotions- und Selbswertregulati onsdefiziten. Rezente Befunde der Neurobildgebung verweisen auf neurobiologische Parallelen zu anderen substanzgebundenen und substanzunabhängigen Suchterkrankungen. Schlussfolgerung/klinische Relevanz Die SPA ist ein relativ neues Phänomen, jedoch keine eigenständige Krankheitsentität. Parallelen zur DSM-5 „Internet Gaming Disorder“ (IGD) sind nicht zu übersehen, und möglicherweise könnte die SPA als „mobile“ Variante digitaler Spielstörungen betrachtet werden. Erste neurobiologische Befunde konnten das kategoriale Konstrukt der SPA validieren mit Verweis auf Gehirnregionen und neuronale Netzwerke, die Sucht und abhängiges Verhalten aufrechterhalten. SPA-spezifische Therapieoptionen sind derzeit nicht verfügbar, sie dürften sich jedoch stark anlehnen an Behandlungsprinzipien der IGD. Präventive und psychoedukative Maßnahmen sollten in der Zukunft gestärkt werden.

Optical and Electrochemical Studies of Underpotential Deposition of Lead on Gold Evaporated and Single‐Crystal Electrodes

Abstract : Linear sweep voltammetry and reflectance spectroscopy have been used to examine the under potential deposition of lead on gold in Pb(2+) containing HC104 solutions. The voltammetry curves and reflectance change data provide evidence that the lead is first deposited as ions although their effective ionic charge is probably reduced substantially from +2 through their strong interaction with the band structure of the gold substrate. At more cathodic potentials, still well below the reversible potential of bulk lead, a sharp transition is observed over a 5 to 10 mV range. This transition appears to involve a two dimensional phase transition leading to a metallic-like lead layer. Adsorption isotherms have been evaluated from the reflectance changes. A.c. electromodulation techniques and complex plane analysis have been used to examine the kinetics of the lead adsorption-desorption and to evaluate the apparent exchange current density for the process.

Factors Affecting Livelihood Diversification Decision: The Case of Kuormuk and Homosha Districts of Assosa Zone, Beneshangul Gumuz Regional State, Ethiopia

Ethiopia’s agricultural productivity is considered low despite the presence of various agricultural policies. These policies focus mainly on on-farm agricultural development to the neglect of rich opportunities for non-agricultural livelihood diversification activities. Livelihood diversification is a strategy that can boost farmers’ income and promote sustainable land management practices. This study was conducted to assess the various factors that affect households’ decisions on livelihood diversifications the case of Kuormuk and Homosha districts of Assosa zone, Beneshangul Gumuz regional state, western Ethiopia. Data was gathered by household survey from 376 sample households of 13 randomly selected rural kebeles of the Homosha and Kuormuk Districts through structural questionnaires. The alternative livelihood strategies that were used by the study households were agriculture only, and agriculture plus other activities (off-farm and non-farm activities). Binary Logit model was employed in identifying the determinants of rural livelihood diversification decision. From 13 hypothesized explanatory variables, 5 variables were found to have significant effect in determining diversification of household livelihood decisions. Accordingly, age of the household head, access to credit, receiving remittance and land size have negative association with livelihood diversification strategy. Whereas, getting training has a positively influence on households choice of livelihood diversification. Therefore, the findings of this imply that rural households’ development policies should consider off-farm and non-farm livelihood activities in addition to agriculture.
On the Way to Food Well-Being. A Critical Analysis of the Food Well-Being Concept and the Possibilities of Its Empirical Verification

Purpose – The purpose of this paper was to take a critical look at the FWB concept and the possibilities of its empirical verification, aimed at identifying limitations and difficulties in measurement. Design/Methodology/Approach – The critical literature analysis is based on inductive reasoning and was conducted on two levels – the conceptual framework of FWB and empirical research in the FWB field. Findings and implications – The interdisciplinarity of FWB conceptual models hinders their empirical verification. In the analysed studies, empirical measurements are characterized by fragmentation. The fact that researchers use various methods causes problems with comparing results and formulating universal conclusions or recommendations that contribute to increasing the level of FWB in terms of the individual or the society. Moreover, the issue of the shape of the FWB pinwheel needs to be clarified, e.g. individual issues should be included under a separate food (related) personality dimension. Limitations – The analyses were based solely on the review of available literature and existing research, which Anna Rogalaa, Renata Nestorowiczb, Ewa Jerzykc a Poznań University of Economics and Business, al.

Th e Eff ect of Attribution on Athlete Scandals: Consumer Responses toward Scandalized Athletes and Endorsements

The purpose of the current study, drawing on attribution theory, was to investigate consumers’ attribution process and its impact on their responses to a scandalized athlete and endorsement. The results of the experiment indicate that the distinctiveness of an athlete scandal prompts external attribution while having a negative impact on internal attribution. Additionally, the consistency of an athlete scandal triggers internal attribution. Moreover, the results show that internal (external) attribution has direct negative (positive) impact on attitude toward the scandalized athlete. Lastly, the results show that consumers’ attribution type indirectly determines the consumer responses toward the troubled athlete and endorsement perception. Findings of the current study provide empirical evidence to explain what informational cues consumers utilize when making causal inferences and how such causal inferences subsequently affect the consumer responses. Th e current study also provides marketing managers with useful implications to make informed decisions in the athlete transgression context.
