Physical Self-Concept, Gender, and Physical Condition of Bizkaia University Students

(1) Background: Despite the benefits of physical activity being well documented in university students, some do not follow the international recommendations. This period of life is a vital stage in adhering to healthy habits in adult life. The objective of the study was to analyze university students’ scores of their physical self-concept and its relationship with gender, physical condition, and level of self-perceived competence. (2) Methods: The sample comprised of 1289 Bizkaia University students (42.12% men and 57.87% women), between 18 and 46.5 years old (M = 20.4; SD = 2.2 years). Physical self-concept, physical condition, number of hours per week of physical activity, and perceived fitness level were analyzed. (3) Results: We found significant differences between women and men in their physical self-concept, but it seemed to be mainly an indirect effect through the mediation of hours of exercise and physical condition. (4) Conclusions: To understand the variance of the level of physical self-concept between genders in university students, the effect of certain variables (physical condition, number of hours per week, and perceived fitness level) must be considered, as well as the mediating role of some of these variables.
Identification of further sex pheromone synergists in the codling moth, Cydia pomonella

Pheromone gland extracts of codling moth females were examined by gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry and electroantennography. Nine compounds elicited antennal activity: the main pheromone compound codlemone (E,E)‐8,10‐dodecadienol, the E,Z and Z,E isomers of codlemone, codlemone acetate (E,E)‐8,10‐dodecadienyl acetate, codlemone aldehyde (E,E)‐8,10‐dodecadienal, the monounsaturated alcohols (E)‐8‐dodecenol and (E)‐9‐dodecenol, and dodecanol. In wind tunnel experiments, addition of dodecanol, the E,Z isomer of codlemone and codlemone acetate augmented male attraction to codlemone at the proportions found in female glands. Larger amounts of the E,Z isomer of codlemone and codlemone acetate had a strong antagonistic effect on male attraction. The identification of pheromone synergists in codling moth is of importance for the development of pheromone‐ based control methods.
A comparative study of sentiment analysis using SVM and SentiWordNet

Sentiment analysis has grown rapidly which impact on the number of services using the internet popping up in Indonesia. In this research, the sentiment analysis uses the rule-based method with the help of SentiWordNet and Support Vector Machine (SVM) algorithm with Term Frequency–Inverse Document Frequency (TF-IDF) as feature extraction method. Since the number of sentences in positive, negative and neutral classes is imbalanced, the oversampling method is implemented. For imbalanced dataset, the rule-based SentiWordNet and SVM algorithm achieve accuracies of 56% and 76%, respectively. However, for the balanced dataset, the rule-based SentiWordNet and SVM algorithm achieve accuracies of 52% and 89%, respectively.
Interventions to reduce inequalities in avoidable hospital admissions: explanatory framework and systematic review protocol

Introduction Internationally there is pressure to contain costs due to rising numbers of hospital admissions. Alongside age, socioeconomic disadvantage is the strongest risk factor for avoidable hospital admission. This equity-focussed systematic review is required for policymakers to understand what has been shown to work to reduce inequalities in hospital admissions, what does not work and where the current gaps in the evidence-base are. Methods and analysis An initial framework shows how interventions are hypothesised to reduce socioeconomic inequalities in avoidable hospital admissions. Studies will be included if the intervention focusses exclusively on socioeconomically disadvantaged populations or if the study reports differential effects by socioeconomic status (education, income, occupation, social class, deprivation, poverty or an area-based proxy for deprivation derived from place of residence) with respect to hospital admission or readmission (overall or condition-specific for those classified as ambulatory care sensitive). Studies involving individuals of any age, undertaken in OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development) countries, published from 2000 to 29th February 2020 in any language will be included. Electronic searches will include MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL, Cochrane CENTRAL and the Web of Knowledge platform. Electronic searches will be supplemented with full citation searches of included studies, website searches and retrieval of relevant unpublished information. Study inclusion, data extraction and quality appraisal will be conducted by two reviewers. Narrative synthesis will be conducted and also meta-analysis where possible. The main analysis will examine the effectiveness of interventions at reducing socioeconomic inequalities in hospital admissions. Interventions will be characterised by their domain of action and approach to addressing inequalities. For included studies, contextual information on where, for whom and how these interventions are organised, implemented and delivered will be examined where possible. Ethics and dissemination Ethical approval was not required for this protocol. The research will be disseminated via peer-reviewed publication, conferences and an open-access policy-orientated paper.

Polycystic Kidney Disease Ryanodine Receptor Domain (PKDRR) Proteins in Oomycetes

In eukaryotes, two sources of Ca2+ are accessed to allow rapid changes in the cytosolic levels of this second messenger: the extracellular medium and intracellular Ca2+ stores, such as the endoplasmic reticulum. One class of channel that permits Ca2+ entry is the transient receptor potential (TRP) superfamily, including the polycystic kidney disease (PKD) proteins, or polycystins. Channels that release Ca2+ from intracellular stores include the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate/ryanodine receptor (ITPR/RyR) superfamily. Here, we characterise a family of proteins that are only encoded by oomycete genomes, that we have named PKDRR, since they share domains with both PKD and RyR channels. We provide evidence that these proteins belong to the TRP superfamily and are distinct from the ITPR/RyR superfamily in terms of their evolutionary relationships, protein domain architectures and predicted ion channel structures. We also demonstrate that a hypothetical PKDRR protein from Phytophthora infestans is produced by this organism, is located in the cell-surface membrane and forms multimeric protein complexes. Efforts to functionally characterise this protein in a heterologous expression system were unsuccessful but support a cell-surface localisation. These PKDRR proteins represent potential targets for the development of new “fungicides”, since they are of a distinctive structure that is only found in oomycetes and not in any other cellular organisms.
Review of Livestock Welfare Indicators Relevant for the Australian Live Export Industry

Simple Summary The live animal export industry is under increasing public scrutiny to ensure optimal animal welfare conditions are met. To date, the main animal-based welfare indicator used to review and regulate this industry has been mortality. For a proactive industry wanting to transition to reporting on animal welfare not mortality, a broader suite of measures is needed. We reviewed a total of 71 potential animal welfare measures, identifying those measures that would be appropriate for use throughout the live export chain for feeder and slaughter livestock animals, and categorised these as animal-, environment- and resource-based. After considering the industry-specific constraints for animal welfare assessments, measures were categorised according to their application to the three identified sectors of the live export industry. We identified measures already undertaken or that are relevant for specific situations as part of the industry. Further research is currently underway to validate the applicability and value of these measures. Abstract Animal welfare is an important issue for the live export industry (LEI), in terms of economic returns, community attitudes and international socio-political relations. Mortality has traditionally been the main welfare measure recorded within the LEI; however, high mortality incidents are usually acted upon after adverse events occur, reducing the scope for proactive welfare enhancement. We reviewed 71 potential animal welfare measures, identifying those measures that would be appropriate for use throughout the LEI for feeder and slaughter livestock species, and categorised these as animal-, environment- and resource-based. We divided the live export supply chain into three sectors: (1) Australian facilities, (2) vessel and (3) destination country facilities. After reviewing the relevant regulations for each sector of the industry, we identified 38 (sector 1), 35 (sector 2) and 26 (sector 3) measures already being collected under current practice. These could be used to form a ‘welfare information dashboard’: a LEI-specific online interface for collecting data that could contribute towards standardised industry reporting. We identified another 20, 25 and 28 measures that are relevant to each LEI sector (sectors 1, 2, 3, respectively), and that could be developed and integrated into a benchmarking system in the future.
Establishment of a Simple and Efficient Reverse Genetics System for Canine Adenoviruses Using Bacterial Artificial Chromosomes

Canine adenoviruses (CAdVs) are divided into pathotypes CAdV1 and CAdV2, which cause infectious hepatitis and laryngotracheitis in canid animals, respectively. They can be the backbones of viral vectors that could be applied in recombinant vaccines or for gene transfer in dogs and in serologically naïve humans. Although conventional plasmid-based reverse genetics systems can be used to construct CAdV vectors, their large genome size creates technical difficulties in gene cloning and manipulation. In this study, we established an improved reverse genetics system for CAdVs using bacterial artificial chromosomes (BACs), in which genetic modifications can be efficiently and simply made through BAC recombineering. To validate the utility of this system, we used it to generate CAdV2 with the early region 1 gene deleted. This mutant was robustly generated and attenuated in cell culture. The results suggest that our established BAC-based reverse genetics system for CAdVs would be a useful and powerful tool for basic and advanced practical studies with these viruses.
Identification and characterisation of Facebook user profiles considering interaction aspects

ABSTRACT The great number of social network users and the expansion of this kind of tool in the last years demand the storage of a great volume of information regarding user behaviour. In this article, we utilise interaction records from Facebook users and metrics from complex networks study, to identify different user behaviours using clustering techniques. We found three different user profiles regarding interactions performed in the social network: viewer, participant and content producer. Moreover, the groups we found were characterised by the C4.5 decision-tree algorithm. The 'viewer' mainly observes what happens in the network. The ‘participant’ interacts more often with the content, getting a higher value of closeness centrality. Therefore, users with a participant profile are responsible, for example, for the faster transmission of information in the virtual environment, a crucial function for the Facebook social network. We noted too that ‘content producer’ users had a greater quantity of publications in their pages, leading to a superior degree of input interactions than the other two profiles. Finally, we also verify that the profiles are not mutually exclusive, that is, the user of a profile can at determined moment perform the behaviour of another profile.
The Determinants of Survival of Listed Deposit Money Banks (DMBs) in Nigeria

DMBs in Nigeria operate in a highly regulated sector of the Nigerian economy because of their cardinal function of mobilizing funds from surplus units to deficit units of the economy. As a result of the massive profitability potentials of the sector, huge investments are made in the industry, which call for a constant examination of their activities by investors to facilitate informed judgements. Over the years, DMBs had been facing issues of incessant non-performing loans, inability to meet customers’ withdrawals when demanded and unstable market share price among others (Soludo, 2007). These unhealthy signs pose a risk of loss of investment to investors. This clearly points to the pivotal nature of investment decisions to business success; hence investors employ different techniques for portfolio analysis and decision-making. The Altman Emerging Market score (EM score) is a model widely used by investors to predict probability of business survival. Consequently, the examination of a firms’ going concern status and its determinants is necessary because the collapse of a company would not only affect the shareholders but all its stakeholders as well as the economy in which the company operates.
Cowpeat as a Substitute for Peat in Container Substrates for Foliage Plant Propagation

This study evaluated the potential for using cowpeat, a composted dairy manure, as a component of container substrates for foliage plant propagation. Using a commercial formulation (20% perlite and 20% vermiculite with 60% Canadian or Florida peat based on volume) as controls, peat was replaced by cowpeat at 10% increments up to 60%, which resulted in a total of 14 substrates. Physical and chemical properties such as air space, bulk density, container capacity, total porosity, pH, carbon-to-nitrogen ratio, and cation exchange capacity of the cowpeat-substituted substrates were largely similar to those of the respective control. However, the electrical conductivity (EC) increased with the increased volume of cowpeat. The 14 substrates were used for rooting single-node cuttings of golden pothos (Epipremnum aureum) and heartleaf philodendron (Philodendron scandens ssp. oxycardium) and three-node cuttings of ‘Florida Spire’ fig (Ficus benjamina) and germinating seeds of sprenger asparagus (Asparagus densiflorus) in a shaded greenhouse. All cuttings rooted in the 14 substrates, and the resultant shoot and root dry weights of golden pothos and ‘Florida Spire’ fig 2 months after rooting did not significantly vary across seven Canadian peat- or Florida peat-based substrates. Shoot dry weights of heartleaf philodendron were also similar across substrates, but the root dry weight produced in the Canadian peat-based control substrate was much greater than that produced in the substrate containing 60% cowpeat. Root dry weight and root length produced in the Florida peat-based control substrate were also significantly greater than those produced in substrates substituted by 60% cowpeat. These results may indicate that cuttings of golden pothos and ‘Florida Spire’ fig are more tolerant of higher EC than those of heartleaf philodendron, as the substrate with 60% cowpeat had EC ≥ 4.16 dS·m−1. Seed germination rates of sprenger asparagus from cowpeat-substituted Canadian peat-based substrates were greater than or comparable to those of the control substrate. Seed germination rates were similar across the seven Florida peat-based substrates. The root-to-shoot ratios of seedlings germinated from both control substrates were significantly greater than those germinated from substrates substituted by cowpeat. This difference could be partially explained by the higher nutrient content in cowpeat-substituted substrates where shoot growth was favored over root growth. Propagation is a critical stage in commercial production of containerized plants. The success in using up to 60% cowpeat in rooting and seed germination substrates may suggest that cowpeat could be an alternative to peat for foliage plant propagation.
Perceptions of fishermen towards marine protected areas in Cambodia and the Philippines

Marine protected areas (MPAs) can be used to conserve parts of marine ecosystems, including fish stocks exploited by fisheries. Social acceptance of MPAs must be achieved if they are to function as effective management tools. Artisanal fishers operating around tropical coral reef areas were questioned in an attempt to investigate their acceptance and perceptions of MPAs. Fishers from two areas were surveyed: Koh Rong Island, Cambodia, where MPAs are a new concept to fishers, and Southern Leyte, the Philippines, where MPAs have been used in management for over 10 years. Fishers’ opinions of MPAs from each study site were compared and variables affecting fishers’ opinions of MPAs were also investigated at each site. Although small sample sizes of fishers were observed at each study site, results showed that the majority of fishers at each site accepted MPAs as a management tool. Cambodian fishers felt the state of marine resources had worsened in the past decade (with regards to the number of fish, the size of fish and the number of species present in their catch), whereas most Filipino fishers had noticed an opposite trend. Older Cambodian fishers had greater acceptance of MPAs; age did not affect Filipino fishers’ acceptance, and did not affect any other opinions fishers had of MPAs at either site. Community-based management of MPAs was fishers’ preference at both sites. The study shows evidence of MPA support in Cambodia, with mobile gear users being more willing to be involved in MPA management. Most Filipino fishers felt that their MPA improved their catches, although there was evidence of conflict between fishers since the MPA was implemented.
Lifestyles, Residential Location Decisions, and Pedestrian and Transit Activity

The idea of using land use patterns to influence people's behavior is popular in urban planning circles these days. Activity-based travel modeling has begun to make significant progress toward a more behavioral framework for simulating household travel behavior and understanding, in particular, pedestrian activity. A significant challenge remains in the need to address the interaction of pedestrian use with longer-term household choices of neighborhood choice, other activities, and overall travel. The choices often depend on one another and jointly define the lifestyle of an individual. This paper refines a framework to analyze household choices relating to three dimensions of lifestyle: travel patterns (including pedestrian activity), activity participation, and neighborhood characteristics. Cluster analysis on data from the Twin Cities metropolitan region in Minnesota uncovers seven classifications of lifestyle. These clusters demonstrate empirically how decisions about residential location reinforce and affect daily decisions related to travel patterns, pedestrian and transit use, and activity participation. The final section comments on the applicability of these lifestyle clusters for land use–transportation planning.
Diversely polarized antenna array systems

This thesis is concerned with the use of diversely polarized antennas in an array system as the advantage of this array architecture over a uniformly polarized array is on its capability to separate multiple signals based on their polarization characteristics. Overall system performance is substantially improved due to an extra degree of signal discrimination. In this thesis, the aim is to address and explore several issues regarding an employment of the diversely polarized antennas in order to assess the array performance and its characteristics. First of all, the geometrical properties of the array manifold associated with polarization-sensitive array are explored from the di¤erential geometry perspective. The fact that the array manifold incorporates all information about the array and signal environments allows it to completely characterize the whole system. In this work, a new mathematical framework is proposed to analyze threeparameter diversely polarized manifold, where important notations to describe the local characteristics of the manifold are provided. Second, issues regarding the presence of uncertainties in polarization-sensitive arrays are investigated. The array system considered so far is assumed to be free from errors and uncertainties. However, in practice, the system performance is a¤ected considerably by various types of uncertainties that are deviated from the assumed conditions. A framework based on the sensitivity analysis of manifold shape property is presented to evaluate the array robustness to uncertainties. In addition, a novel calibration method is proposed utilizing the concept of diversely polarized manifold. Third, problems regarding the presence of manifold ambiguities are addressed. Manifold ambiguity is an undesirable situation often encountered when there exists linear dependence amongst array response vectors. This study is aimed to investigate issues regarding the identi cation, classi cation, as well as the eradication of some types of ambiguities. A general framework to identify diversely polarized manifold ambiguity is presented, followed by two novel techniques to resolve ambiguities. Finally, issues regarding the use of polarization-sensitive antennas in CDMAbased systems are addressed. The framework is essentially based on an integration of polarization-sensitive antennas, space-time array processing, and the spread-spectrum multiple access technology. First, the properties of PolarizationSpatio-Temporal ARray (Polar-STAR) manifold is investigated based on a direct relationship with the diversely polarized manifold. Then, the arrays ultimate detection capabilities are presented. Finally, a self calibration method for a polarization-sensitive asynchronous DS-CDMA system is proposed.
Depth AAM Based Feature Extraction

Feature extraction in video sequences takes an important role in face recognition, expression profile analysis, and human computer interaction. Formerly this system was proposed with curvelet transform and wavelet transform. In the existing system Affine transform is used.AAM (Active Appearance Model) method for facial features localization always concentrate on fitting efficiency with in global few concrete analysis of the characteristic of initial position and model instance. The location, accuracy and speed are not ideal. The main idea of this method is to use the face detection algorithm with a web camera to accurately locate human head and estimate head pose. The head position is used to initialize the AAM global shape transformation which guarantees the model fitting to the correct location. The depth AAM algorithm takes four channelR, G, B, D into consideration which combines the colors and the depth of input images. To locate facial feature robustly and accurately, the weights of RGB information and D information in global energy function are adjusted automatically. Region based segmentation is also used in order to separate an individual’s feature. Experimental results show that the depth AAM algorithm can effectively and accurately locate facial features from video objects in condition of complex background.
