The recommender system designed in this thesis enables UCC which is much similar to one UCC producer utilizes to be used with custom-made when recommending and producing based on UCC view history and production list, etc. of its producer. The recommender system is largely divided into filtering based on the preferred tag, UCC filtering used when producing the preferred UCC and creating process of recommended UCC using the Pearson formula. The recommender system in this thesis requires the data which were used when producing UCC. For that, we added the reference factor so that the data of UCC which were utilized when producing UCC into the existing metadata can be recorded. If the recommender system suggested in this thesis is used, the more effective and convenient UCC recommendation services with custom-made for producers can be provided.

The solar cycle in the temperature of the tropical stratosphere

A search for a relationship between tropical stratosphere temperature anomalies at 10 hPa (~30 km), during 1964-1996 and the F10.7 cm solar flux has been carried out. The long-term trend and the Quasi-Biennial Oscillation influence over four seasonal and the annual temperature series were removed. The linear correlation coefficients, r, between temperature and F10.7 for the five series fall between 0.02 and 0.31, which suggests that the association between temperature and solar cycle is weak. However, when the data of each series are grouped according to solar cycle, temperature as a function of F10.7 shows a non-random behavior similar to a hysteresis loop. The sense of rotation, axis and area of a hysteresis loop are different for each solar cycle. The time shift between temperature and solar flux increases from cycle 20 to 22. The correlation between temperature and F10.7 becomes progressively lower from cycle 20 to 22. This suggests that the stratospheric temperature is determined not only by the solar flux, but also by parameters such as ozone and CO2, and feedback mechanisms between them.
Business Teachers’ ICT Skills and Uses in an IoT Classroom

This report presents the results of a survey study conducted spring 2016 semester in the College of Business Administration at a major Midwestern university in the USA. The findings show that Information and Communication Technology (ICT) are included in all aspects of the participants’ lives and they generally agree and are excited about the opportunity to have the new Internet of Things (IoT) Crestron System in the classrooms. However, despite the enthusiasm, only a minority of the teachers are engaged in content creation activities using technological, multimedia, or online tools. There is a gap between their everyday ICT skills and their skills for teaching and learning. This article describes this gap and provides suggestions for reducing it.
Between play and design : the emergence of hybrid-identity in single-player videogames

Resume Cette these examine la nature complexe de l'identite dans les jeux video solo. Elle introduit la notion d'identite-hybride, et propose un cadre analytique pour deconstruire la jouabilite a travers les genres afin de distinguer des moments d’emergence d’identite. Alors que la recherche sur l’identite se concentre couramment sur le joueur ou le personnage-joueur (ou les deux), la notion d'identite-hybride est une forme d’identite fluide, parfois ephemere, qui existe entre le joueur et le personnage-joueur. L’identite-hybride se developpe au cours du processus de jeu et inclut necessairement le joueur (experience, contexte de jeu, etc. ), l’environnement du jeu (le design, les mecaniques, etc.), et la mediation technologique (ordinateur, console, etc.) qui facilite la jouabilite. Afin de cerner les differents aspects du gameplay qui contribuent a l'emergence de differents types d'identite, un cadre multiforme a ete concu pour isoler les interactions specifiques? qui comprennent les interactions joueur/personnage-joueur, personnage-joueur/personnage non-joueur, joueur/environnement du jeu, personnage-joueur /environnement de jeux, et joueur/joueur. Il a ete associe a un cadre secondaire qui comprend l'examen des specificites du joueur individuel et la mediation technologique qui facilitent le jouabilite. Une analyse systematique d’experiences de jeu et des elements de design de trois jeux differents; Mirror’s Edge (DICE, 2008), Alone in the Dark (Eden Games, 2008), et Fable 2 (Lionhead Studios, 2008), a ete realisee pour illustrer les differents degres d’apparition d'identite dans differentes structures de jeu. En comparant les trois analyses, l'utilite de ce cadre pour mettre de l’avant les elements qui contribuent au (ou peuvent entraver) le developpement de l'identite et, plus specifiquement, l'apparition de l'identite-hybride, est demontree. Ces trois exemples jettent les bases d'une discussion plus profonde sur la definition, le contexte, et le processus d’identite-hybride dans les jeux video en general.

Feeding Deterrence of Common Spices against Helicoverpa armigera Larvae

Edible spices with strong smells or heavy tastes may be a promising resource of feeding deterrents. We compared the feeding deterrence of the ethanol extracts of 21 common spices against the larvae of a generalist pest species, Helicoverpa armigera, using a multiple-choice leaf disc bioassay. The results show that Zanthoxylum bungeanum extract (as a reference) always evoked significant feeding deterrence, while Piper nigrum (both black pepper and white pepper), Piper longum, and Angelica dahurica evoked the strongest and equivalent feeding deterrence. The potent feeding deterrent activity of Piper species may be a common characteristic at genus level.
Freak waves : A suggested definition and possible consequences for marine structures

Target annual exceedance probabilities of design loads of offshore structures on the Norwegian Continental shelf are briefly discussed. It is proposed to define freak wave events as events that are well beyond what is typically expected within wave theories utilized for structural design. With this background, the question of whether or not freak waves are of concern for practical design work is discussed. The discussion is not conclusive, and major focus is given to some questions that need to be properly answered before a final conclusion can be made.

The ATP-sensitive potassium channel in the heart . Functional , electrophysiological and molecular aspects Remme

Purpose. Cardioprotection by KATP channel openers during ischemia is well documented although ill understood. Pro-arrhythmic effects may be an important drawback. KATP channel modulation influences neurotransmitter release during ischemia in brain synaptosomes. Therefore, we studied the effects of KATP channel modulation on myocardial noradrenaline release and arrhythmias in ischemic rabbit hearts. Methods. Isolated rabbit hearts were perfused according to Langendorff and stimulated. Local electrograms were recorded and K-selective electrodes were inserted in the left ventricular free wall. Cromakalim (3 U.M) or glibenclamide (3 uM) was added 20 min prior to induction of global ischemia. After 15, 20 or 30 min of ischemia, hearts were reperfused and noradrenaline (NA) content of the first 100 ml reperfusate was measured. Results. Cromakalim (n=16) prevented the second rise of extracellular [K] in accordance with its cardioprotective effect. Cromakalim significantly reduced NA release after 15 min (mean 169 ± SEM 97 pmol/gr dry weight vs. control 941 ± 278; p<0.05) and 20 min of ischemia (230 ± 125 pmol/gr dry wt vs. control 1460 ± 433; p<0.05), but after 30 min of ischemia, the difference in NA release was no longer significant (cromakalim 2703 ± 1 1 9 5 pmol/gr dry wt vs. control 5413 ±1310; p=0.08). Ventricular fibrillation (VF) or ventricular tachycardia (VT) occurred in 10 out of 13 (77%) control hearts (n=19), in 6 out of 10 (60%) glibenclamide treated hearts (n=15) and in 6 out of 14 (43%) cromakalim treated hearts (p=NS). Cromakalim significantly accelerated onset of V T or VF (means ± SEM onset after 12.5 ± 1.6 min ischemia vs. control 16.2 ± 0.7 min; p<0.05). NA release only occurred in cromakalim treated hearts with early onset arrhythmias while no NA release was observed in cromakalim treated hearts without VT o r V F . Conclusion. Our results show that activation of the KATP channel by cromakalim during ischemia reduces myocardial noradrenaline release and postpones the onset of irreversible damage, contributing to the cardioprotective potential of KATP openers during myocardial ischemia.
Carbon and Nitrogen Cycling in Snow‐Covered Environments

The last two decades have seen significant advances in understanding the cycling of carbon and nutrients in ecosystems characterized by seasonal snow cover. This paper reviews and summarizes work on the interactions between seasonal snow cover, soil physico-chemical characteristics, biological activity, and plot- to ecosystem-scale carbon and nitrogen cycling. The magnitude of winter biogeochemical activity is considerable. For example, including these winter fluxes into annual estimates of net ecosystem exchange reduces annual carbon uptake by 50% or more in many ecosystems. The primary climatic control on these fluxes is the amount and timing of precipitation, especially the formation of a consistent seasonal snow cover. Consistent snow cover limits frost damage and controls both the timing and amount of liquid water in soil and the availability of labile carbon substrates. Together, liquid water and labile carbon control the magnitude of in situ activity, exchanges of CO2 and trace gases, and export of dissolved nutrients. The importance of snow cover to biogeochemical fluxes has led a renewed interest in how spatial variability in vegetation structure influences snow cover through shading, wind sheltering, and interception. Changes in snow cover associated with ongoing changes in both temperature and precipitation have the potential to profoundly impact the soil environment during winter and spring with unclear effects on annual and longer-term patterns of carbon and nitrogen cycling.
ANTICIPATION EFFECT ON KNEE JOINT STABILITY DURING PLANNED AND UN-PLANNED MOVEMENT TESTS IN LABORATORY

The purpose of this study was to investigate the anticipation effect on knee stability during functional test in laboratory. Ten healthy male subjects were recruited and instructed to perform a series of planned and un-planned stop-jumping tasks. Knee joint kinematics was measured by a motion analysis system. The subjects demonstrated different abduction and rotation angles for reactive tasks. This suggested that if knee abduction or rotational stability is considered as a primary measurement in documenting knee stability, such as in the investigation of rehabilitation progress after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, both planned and un-planned tasks should be considered as to take the anticipation effect into account.
Total risk analyses for large dams in Kizilirmak basin, Turkey

Abstract. Dams located near urban areas have a high risk potential for life and property in downstream. Turkey is one of the most seismically active regions in the world and has at least 1200 large dams with different type. Major earthquakes with the potential of threatening life and property occur frequently here. Kizilirmak basin studied in this article is located in a seismically very active part of Turkey. The northern part of basin is structurally cut by a significant fault system. The shear zone, which is frequently jointed, fractured and faulted at the central part of basin increases total risk of dams within the zone. Consequently, there are so many large dams, which are located close to these faults in the basin. In this paper authors summarize the methods used for the analysis of total risk, discuss the seismic hazards of 36 large dams constructed in the Kizilirmak basin on the basis of the seismic activity of the dam site and their total risk as based on physical properties and the position in the basin. The seismic hazard analyses have indicated that peak ground acceleration changes within a wide range (0.09 g and 0.45 g) for the dam sites of basin. The total risk analyses depending on the seismic hazard rating of dam site and risk rating of the structure have concluded that 23 large dams have high-risk class in the basin.
ISO14001 Certification and Financial Performance of Companies.

This study aims to investigate the relationship between ISO 14001 certification and financial performance and to ascertain whether the ISO 14001 accreditation has improved the financial performance of a sample of Malaysian publicly listed companies. ISO 14001, which is the most recognized framework for establishing environmental management, helps companies to account for the influence of their activities on the environment and to demonstrate sound environmental management. The linear regression analysis shows that firms with above-average performance have a greater tendency to pursue ISO 14001 accreditation. A significant relationship is also established between ISO 14001 certification and financial performance in the context of an emerging economy. The adoption of ISO 14001 benefits companies by enhancing their reputation and brand awareness on the one hand and increasing their sales and investor confidence on the other. Keywords: environmental management accounting, financial performance, ISO 14001 certification, Malaysia
Backward Stochastic Differential Equations with no driving martingale, Markov processes and associated Pseudo Partial Differential Equations

We investigate existence and uniqueness for a new class of Backward Stochastic Differential Equations (BSDEs) with no driving martingale. When the randomness of the driver depends on a general Markov process X those BSDEs are denominated forward BSDEs and can be associated to a deter-ministic problem, called Pseudo-PDE which constitute the natural generalization of a parabolic semilinear PDE which naturally appears when the underlying filtration is Brownian. We consider two types of solutions for the Pseudo-PDEs: classical and of martingale type.
Effect of nanoliposomes on the stabilization of incorporated retinol

Nanoliposomes containing retinol were prepared, and the stability of the incorporated retinol was evaluated. Average particle size of nanoliposomes was 98 nm. Retinol was readily incorporated into nanoliposomes with incorporation efficiencies higher than 99%. The bare retinol in the buffer was almost degraded within 2 days of storage, while at least, over 20% of the initial retinol in nanoliposomes was kept until 8 days in all experimental conditions tested. The incorporated retinol in nanoliposomes was more rapidly degraded as temperature increases under both dark and UV light condition during the whole period of storage, and UV light slightly decreased the stability of retinol in nanoliposomes.

The Questionnaire on Ethnic Identity of Zhuang Ethnic in Red River Basin of Guangxi is formulated based on Multi-Ethnic Identity Questionnaire Design of Phinney, integrated with the results of previous interviews to Zhuang Ethnic, 490 samples with different gender, ages, regions, occupations and educations were randomly selected in this questionnaire research. It is found in the research that 50-year-olds rank highest on the identity degree of the ethnic identity and the dimension of sense of ethnicity belonging, 20-year-olds rank lowest; farmers rank highest on the identity degree of the dimension of sense of ethnicity belonging, public sector staffs rank lowest; secondary and polytechnic education group ranks highest on the identity degree of the dimension of sense of ethnicity belonging, primary education group ranks lowest; there is no difference among the remaining. Effectively intensifying the ethnicity education of Zhuang Ethnic and enhancing the cultural heritage protection of Zhuang Ethnic perhaps will be the effective ways to change the unsatisfactory situation of heritage of current ethnicity culture.
Yields analysis and structural characterizations of lignin extracted from Eucalyptus globulus with catalyzed ethanol systems

A mild and successive method was proposed and evaluated for fractionating lignin samples from Eucalyptus globulus. The extraction efficiency and structural features of the extracted lignin samples were comprehensively investigated by a yields analysis, 1H-nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), 13C-NMR, and two-dimensional heteronuclear single quantum coherence (2D-HSQC) NMR. The catalyzed ethanol systems consisting of ethanol, 4-methyl-2-pentanone, dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), formic acid, and distilled water were effective for extracting lignin from Eucalyptus globulus, and the yield of lignin was 75.2% when the extraction process was held at 145 °C for 180 min. Compared with that of the milled wood lignin (MWL), the NMR spectra of the extracted lignin fractions supported the destruction of β-O-4 units for the disappearance of Hα signals. Moreover, the striking characteristics of the extracted lignin were the destruction of ether bonds of S3,5 and the condensation of syringyl (S) and guaiacyl (G) units. In short, lignin fractions with relatively complete structures were effectively extracted with the catalyzed ethanol systems.
Software quality information needs

Modern software methodologies, e.g., agile and continuous integration and deployment, rely on frequent feedback loops to respond to sudden changes. Improvements to feedback, development activities, and quality rely on information needs. We found a lack of understanding on the information needs of software engineers when the software quality is the main concern. I propose the term "software quality information needs" to refer to a software engineer’s eagerness to define, locate, obtain, and use information to satisfy a conscious or unconscious concern towards software quality. I want to understand what information about software quality does a developer need while performing code changes or designing new parts of a system. For understanding the broad research question, I propose three sub-questions, namely (1) How can we conceptualize information needs when dealing with software quality? (2) What information is needed when dealing with software quality? and (3) How can software quality information needs be detected unobtrusively through behavioral patterns? I propose a 24 months plan for a research fellowship comprising of three empirical studies, which will involve 120 students in computer science and the companies Daimler, Porsche, and Bosch. The studies will make use of multidisciplinary research in software engineering and behavioral science. The theoretical results of the execution of this proposal are the software quality information needs theory and instances, which will add to the body of knowledge in software engineering. The practical implications might be large. Providing a software developer with the right kind of information about the current state of and the effect of changes on software quality can prevent catastrophic software failures and avoid opening up security holes. ‡ © Graziotin D.

A Comparison of Type A Behaviour Pattern in Cardiovascular High Risk and Normal Adolescents

Celem podjętych badań było ustalenie czy młodzież z rozpoznanymi czynnikami ryzyka niedokrwiennej choroby serca różni się˛ od młodzieży bez takich czynników w zakresie nasilenia zachowań typu A oraz ustalenie związku między wzorem zachowania A a tymi czynnikami w grupie ryzyka. Badaniami objęto młodzież w wieku 15–18 lat. Część´ pierwsza˛ badań mająca˛na celu wykrycie biologicznych czynników ryzyka choroby niedokrwiennej serca przeprowadzono wśród 350 nastolatków. Część drugą˛ obejmującą pomiar nasilenia wzoru zachowania A przeprowadzono wśród tych nastolatków, którzy zostali zakwalifikowani do grupy ryzyka (N = 56) oraz losowo wybranych 52 nastolatków bez czynników ryzyka, stanowiących grupę porównawczą. Do pomiaru nasilenia zachowań Typu A zastosowano skalę Hunter-Wolf A-B Rating Scale w polskiej modyfikacji N. Ogińskiej-Bulik i Z. Juczyńskiego. Uzyskane wyniki badań wykazały, że skłonność do zachowań Typu A, a szczególnie wyrażania niecierpliwości-agresji, jest przejawiana przede wszystkim przez młodzież którą˛ charakteryzuje występowanie czynników ryzyka chorób sercowo-naczyniowych, tj. siedzący tryb życia, nadwaga oraz podwyższony poziom cholesterolu.
