The Relationship between the Instructor's Development-Oriented and Pragmatic Styles of the Leadership and the Success Motivation of the Athletes Premier League of the Athletics

The aim of this study is to examine the amount of the relationship between the instructor's development-oriented and pragmatic style of the leadership and the success motivation of the athletes Premier League of the Athletics. For this purpose we used the Marshal's standard questionnaire of the leadership profile (TLP) and Willis' questionnaire of the sporting attitude (SAI) . We achieved the continuity of the instrument after an elementary study withCranbach's Alpha test (the questionnaire of the leadership profile a= 0.87 , the questionnaire of the sporting attitude a= 0.82). The statistical society includes the athletes of the existent teams in the Premier League of the Athletics(21 teams) in the 90 season with the number of 224, that 144 persons of them were chosen as the research samples with the simple and random sampling method. We used the descriptive and illative statistic methods (the charts of the distribution of the abundance and figures, Pearson correlation coefficient and multiple Regressions) for analyzing the data.The findings showed that the relation leadership and creative leadership among the small scales of the development-oriented leadership, and the assurance leadership among the small scales of the features of the development-oriented leadership had an important relationship with the success motivation of the athletes. Also the results have shown, there was no important relationship between the pragmatic leadership and the success motivation of the athletes. According to the findings of this study, it seems that planning is significant, in order to develop and aware the instructors about the styles of leadership, and inform about the effects of the teams function and general success and also athletes.

Impact of Personal Motivation on the Intention and Behaviour of Social Entrepreneurs

Social entrepreneurship has become one of the finest solutions for addressing various social, environmental and economic problems. Deeper understanding of entrepreneurship can help both researchers and policy makers to evaluate the different phenomena related to entrepreneurship. Throughout this study, we have sought to bring together required elements to respond to the following question: How can the motivation, intention and behaviour of social entrepreneurs be explained? In other words, to what extent do personal and contextual variables affect the motivations, intentions and behaviours of social entrepreneurs? The model is based on a quantitative study conducted by 186 Saudi business owners during 2016. Our primary results show that in terms of intention, personal motivations do not explain this variable for Saudi social entrepreneurs. Our empirical investigations also reveal that the intention variable is not significant in determining the behaviour of social entrepreneurs.
Effect of ethanolic extract of leaf of azadirachta indica on some hematological parameters in albino Wister rats

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of ethanolic extract of the leaf of Azadirachta indica on haematological indices of rats. Twenty four adult male rats (weighing between 100 and 120g) were randomly but equally divided into four groups of six rats per group. Rats in group I (control) were administered with 10ml/kg of distilled water while rats in groups2 to 4 were respectively administered with the extract of A. indica orally at the dose levels of 100mg/kg, 200mg/kg and 300mg/kg, once daily for 14 days. On the 15th day post administration, rats of all the groups were sacrificed and their blood samples were collected through cardiac puncture into EDTA sample bottles for haematological analysis. The results showed that PCV, Hb, RBC counts were non-significantly increased in all the experimental groups compared to control, indicating that extract of A. Indica caused non-significant increase in the PCV, Hb and RBC counts. The mean white blood cell and platelet counts were significantly decreased in group3 compared to control. The mean lymphocyte values increased while the mean neutrophil values decreased in all the experimental groups compared to control. The mean values of MCH, MCHC and MCV were similar between experimental groups and the control. Therefore, in conclusion low dose of ethanolic Azadirachta indica causes increase in the cellular components of blood but higher doses may result in decrease of some or all of these blood parameters.
M i n e r a l s

The ancient peoples of the Southwest made use of a wide range of lithic and mineral resources, some of which were available locally to most communities, and others that could only be obtained through long- distance acquisition from limited and specific locations. The materials discussed here— clay, temper, and mineral pigments (including lead) used to make pottery, as well as tool stone, salt, and turquoise— range from those used for routine tasks on a daily basis to those more closely associated with ritual action. Their acquisition often required ritual preparation, prayers, and special trips to named places, many of which are part of the fabric of oral traditions and have shaped enduring cultural landscapes. For each of these materials, we briefly discuss their distribution, archaeological traces, analytical characterization, and means of sourcing. Tracing the movement of these resources across ancient landscapes has formed the basis of regional models of social, political, and economic interaction in Southwest archaeology.
Financial deepening and economic growth in Nigeria (1981-2012): A managerial economic perspective

The objective of this study is to determine the impact of financial deepening on economic growth in Nigeria. The supply leading hypothesis was adopted as the theoretical framework of the study. Data for analysis was for the period 1981-2012 obtained from the Central Bank of Nigeria Statistical Bulletin. The explanatory variables were logged values of broad money supply/GDP and Credit to the private sector/GDP. The times series data were tested for stationarity using the ADF unit root tests of stationarity and were found to be stationary at first difference. The Engle-Granger Cointegration technique and Error correction model were used for the test of long run relationship. Findings reveal that money supply (MS) is positive and weakly significant in determining economic growth. However, credit to the private sector was negative and not significant in the short run. The speed of adjustment of the ECM is 25.51%. This implies that if there are short run fluctuations, GDP will converge to its long run equilibrium path at a speed of about 25.51% in each period . The conclusion is that financial deepening does not have the desired impact on economic growth in Nigeria. Hence, there is a need for increase and improvement in access to private credit to enhance economic growth and investment.
When Financial Information Meets Religiosity in Philanthropic Giving: The Case of Taiwan

This study compares the impacts of religiosity and financial information on an individual’s philanthropic giving in two forms: giving to religious and non-religious charities. Two sources of data were used: The first source comprised of 1,881 records from Taiwan Social Change Survey obtained during 2004, whereas the second source came from a survey of 410 adults across Taiwan during the period of 2008 to 2009 who at the time had children attending a particular major public university in eastern Taiwan. Our results showed that Taiwanese adults’ philanthropic giving behavior is much more influenced by religiosity than financial information. Religion type moderates the effect of religious attendance on the decision to give.
Monitoring and Evaluation Capacity Development of Municipalities in the Province of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa

Abstract The purpose of the study was to assess the monitoring and evaluation capacity development in local municipalities in the KwaZulu-Natal Province. The research method included the case study and the mixed method approach. The study found that monitoring and evaluation (M&E) capacity development is perceived to positively impact staff motivation, training and placement; allocation of resources; and stakeholder participation. The results of the study are relevant to the National, Provincial and the Municipal Councils in exercising their oversight roles to capacitate municipalities to plan, implement and manage M&E systems to ensure an accountable and responsive local government. This study is significant as it provides a platform for the three spheres of government to address the current M&E capacity development gaps and to collectively develop an evidence-based national M&E capacity development strategy. The paper proposes further detailed research be undertaken for M&E capacity needs analysis in each municipality to ensure the developmental mandates are achieved.
3 HIPC Debt Relief and Poverty Reduction Strategies : Uganda ’ s Experience

I this chapter, we highlight the main issues relating to Uganda’s experience in debt stock management and debt relief, explore the benefits of the HIPC Initiative, and conclude by looking at the relationship between the HIPC resources, debt sustainability and poverty reduction. The additional resources from the HIPC Initiative have been instrumental in reducing poverty but have not resulted in debt sustainability as expected.
A blow-up mechanism for a chemotaxis model

We consider the following nonlinear system of parabolic equations: (1) ut =Δu−χ∇(u∇v), Γvt =Δv+u−av for x∈B R, t>0. Here Γ,χ and a are positive constants and BR is a ball of radius R>0 in R2. At the boundary of BR, we impose homogeneous Neumann conditions, namely: (2) ∂u/∂n=∂v/∂n=0 for |x|=R, t>0. Problem (1),(2) is a classical model to describe chemotaxis, i.e., the motion of organisms induced by high concentrations of a chemical that they secrete. In this paper we prove that there exist radial solutions of (1),(2) that develop a Dirac-delta type singularity in finite time, a feature known in the literature as chemotactic collapse. The asymptotics of such solutions near the formation of the singularity is described in detail, and particular attention is paid to the structure of the inner layer around the unfolding singularity.
Circulating MiR-17-5p, MiR-126-5p and MiR-145-3p Are Novel Biomarkers for Diagnosis of Acute Myocardial Infarction

Ischemic heart disease including myocardial infarction (MI) is a major cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide. In order to manage the acute myocardial infarction (AMI) outbreaks, novel biomarkers for risk prediction are needed. Recent studies have shown that circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) are promising biomarkers for cardiovascular diseases prediction. This study aimed to determine the possibility of circulating miRNAs used as biomarkers for AMI. The dynamic expression levels of miRNAs were examined before and after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients. Circulating miR-17-5p, miR-126-5p, and miR-145-3p were selected and validated in 29 patients with AMI and 21 matched controls by quantitative real-time PCR. The expression levels of plasma miR-17-5p, miR-126-5p, and miR-145-3p were significantly increased in AMI patients. Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) analysis indicated that miR-17-5p, miR-126-5p, and miR-145-3p showed considerable diagnostic efficiency for AMI. Furthermore, we demonstrated that the combination of these three miRNAs managed to provide more accurate diagnosing of AMI.

Ascorbic acid BHT and EDTA were used as standard and positive control for analysis of antioxidant. All analysis was made with the use of UV-visible spectrophotometer. The methanol extract of leaves of Memecylon umbellatum shows very significant antioxidant and total phenol content. Hence, the study reveals that Memecylon umbellatum leaves showed significant antioxidant activity.
Topological properties of polar food webs

Mean annual temperatures of the Arctic Ocean and Antarctic Peninsula are warming much faster than global mean warming rates, which will likely result in significant biological impacts. Whereas most assessments have been made on individual species, impacts may differ when entire ecosystems are considered, as effects may propagate through ecological interactions such as those in food webs (FWs). The vulnerability of FWs to adverse effects can be estimated from the topology of the networks involved. Here we describe topological characteristics of Arctic and Antarctic marine FWs relevant to their vulnerability to climate change. We analyzed 15 prop- erties of the largest Arctic and Antarctic marine FWs available, and found important topological differences between them. The Arctic FW has greater top to basal and predator to prey species ratios and is more densely connected, with more omnivorous species, than the Antarctic FW. The cumulative degree distribution (CDD; cumulative distribution of the number of links that each species in the food web has) of the Arctic FW follows an exponential decay behavior, whereas that of the Antarctic has a power law cut-off at higher degrees. The differences in the properties ana- lyzed indicate that the Arctic FW has a greater diversity of predators and top species, while the Antarctic has a greater diversity of prey and basal species. The former seems to be more vulnera- ble to trophic cascade effects resulting from losses of key predator species than the latter. Charac- teristics of CDDs suggest that the Arctic FW may be more robust against random extinctions of species, although it may be more vulnerable to extinctions affecting the most connected prey spe- cies, such as Antarctic krill Euphausia superba, which is the most connected prey species in this trophic network.
Modulation of Gonadotropins Activity by Antibodies

Gonadotropins are essential for reproduction control in humans as well as in animals. They are widely used all over the world for ovarian stimulation in women, spermatogenesis stimulation in men, and ovulation induction and superovulation in animals. Despite the availability of many different preparations, all are made of the native hormones. Having different ligands with a wide activity range for a given receptor helps better understand its molecular and cellular signaling mechanisms as well as its physiological functions, and thus helps the development of more specific and adapted medicines. One way to control the gonadotropins' activity could be the use of modulating antibodies. Antibodies are powerful tools that were largely used to decipher gonadotropins' actions and they have shown their utility as therapeutics in several other indications such as cancer. In this review, we summarize the inhibitory and potentiating antibodies to gonadotropins, and their potential therapeutic applications.
Country of Origin Labeling with Horizontal Differentiation and Cost Variability

This paper studies whether a seller achieves higher profits by providing consumers with information that allows them to distinguish between products from different countries, and how mandatory provision of such information impacts welfare. We analyze a model of multi-product monopoly with horizontal differentiation and random country-specific input costs. We find that if the variability in the input costs is sufficiently high and the share of consumers with high valuations is in some intermediate range, the seller prefers to withhold information about product origin. Mandatory labeling of products with their country of origin may reduce or increase welfare depending on the share of consumers with high valuations. We also discuss extensions of the basic model that allow for continuous distributions of valuations and input costs, and consumer learning.
LOCATION BASED UML DEVELOPMENT- A UML BASED MODELING FOR USAGE OF LOCATION BASED SERVICES

A new kind of comfort and confidence has been created by location based services in the mind of mobile and internet users by providing automotive help in many areas like tracking, navigation, gaming and information fetching about a specific concern. With the increasing usage of said services, this is irrelevant to say much about the critical role of LBS in various fields. After closely analyzing the present situation related with exploitation of LBS conclusion can be made that anything can be tracked dynamically, rapidly and correctly by the technological background provided by LBS and associated services. With increasing utilization of location related services the duties of service providers has been occurring on its peak with respect to customer satisfaction. Number of approaches and methods are being adopted for providing best services to customers. This paper is providing a modeling approach for vehicle tracking process by using LBS in logistics sector through Unified Modeling Language (UML). By using UML, various sessions and operation of tracking have been modeled. With consideration of running Vehicle Tracking System (J-Track) various reports are analyzed for setting some objectives about future research. An Object Oriented Data Modeling technique is being used to process the data and it is represented with the help of UML- Use-Case diagram, Class Diagram, Sequence diagram, Activity diagram and State diagram.
Selectivity and kinetics of methyl crotonate hydrogenation over Pt/Al2O3

The hydrogenation of gas-phase methyl crotonate (MC) over Pt/Al2O3 was investigated with the aim to understand CC hydrogenation in unsaturated methyl esters. Three Pt/Al2O3 catalysts with different Pt dispersions were prepared by varying calcination temperature and evaluated for MC hydrogenation. The main products were found to be methyl butyrate (MB) and methyl 3-butenoate (M3B), resulting from hydrogenation and shift of the CC bond in MC, respectively. The measured activity for both hydrogenation and shift of the CC in MC was found to depend on the Pt dispersion where higher Pt dispersion favors the CC hydrogenation reaction. The effect of reactant concentrations on the activity and selectivity for MC hydrogenation over the Pt/Al2O3 catalyst was examined in detail. Under the investigated conditions, the CC hydrogenation was found to have a negative reaction order with respect to MC concentration but a positive H2 order. Further understanding of the MC hydrogenation was provided from H2 chemisorption experiments over the catalyst with and without pre-adsorbed MC and from transient experiments using alternating MC and H2 feeds. Based on the present experimental results, a reaction pathway was proposed to describe gas-phase MC hydrogenation over Pt/Al2O3. In order to gain more insight into the reaction, a kinetic analysis of MC hydrogenation was performed by fitting a power-law model to the kinetic data, moreover, dissociative H2 adsorption on the catalyst was found to be the rate-determining step by comparing the power-law model with the overall rate expressions derived from mechanistic considerations.
Economic Fundamentals in Local Housing Markets: Evidence from U.S. Metropolitan Regions

This paper investigates the effects of national and regional economic conditions on outcomes in the single-family housing market: housing prices, vacancies, and residential construction activity. Our three-equation model confirms the importance of changes in regional economic conditions, income, and employment on local housing markets. The results also provide the first detailed evidence on the importance of vacancies in the owner-occupied housing market on housing prices and supplier activities. The results also document the importance of variations in materials, labor and capital costs, and regulation in affecting new supply. Simulation exercises, using standard impulse response models, document the lags in market responses to exogenous shocks and the variations arising from differences in local parameters. The results also suggest the importance of local regulation in affecting the pattern of market responses to regional income shocks.
The planet search program at the ESO Coudé Echelle spectrometer - II. The $\alpha$ Centauri system: Limits for planetary companions

In this article we present the results of the planet search program carried out at the ESO Coudé Echelle Spectrometer (CES) for components A and B of the α Centauri system. Since November 1992 we have obtained high precision differential radial velocities (RV s) for both stars. We demonstrate that, after subtraction of the binary orbital motion, no additional residual RV signal is present within our detection limits, which could have been attributed to giant planets orbiting either of the two stars. We performed numerical simulations to determine the detection threshold of the CES survey for planets around both stars. In combination with known dynamical limitations for stable planetary orbits (Wiegert & Holman 1997) we can now set strong constraints on the existence of Jupiter-mass-type planets in the α Centauri system.
Distributed software development in a financial services organisation

The outsourcing of IS functionality to offshore development firms has been a growth industry that has blossomed over the last 10 years. This is as a result of organisations, seeking to optimise costs, mitigate risks, and achieve greater return on shareholder value by delegating the delivery of business information systems and applications to third party vendors. At the same time, distributed approaches to software development has arisen, there has been a growing interest in the applicability of lightweight or Agile development methodologies. As such, this paper this paper discusses experiences of a European Financial Services firm in outsourcing, and subsequently offshoring, two of its IT projects to vendor firms in India, where Agile approaches were used. The authors provide a model of the financial firm’s critical success factors presented as a frame of reference for others interested and involved in this topical area.
Reframing textiles into architectural systems: Construction of a membrane shell by patchwork

In this paper different qualities of architectural textile techniques and tectonics are explored. By using a reframing strategy micro techniques and tectonics as used in fashion and textile design are evolved into an architectural scale. To reveal the quality of this reframing procedure a case scenario has been executed. By reframing patchwork techniques into a formactive shell geometry, a design is made. To reflect upon the case scenario a structural analysis by using Abaqus software has been performed.
