The Use of the Partner Surveillance Scale in Instagram: Psychometric Evaluation Based on the Graded Response Model

The use of social media, especially Instagram, has become an increasingly powerful form of daily activity. This social media affects the romantic relationship of people, where people in relationships can conduct surveillance on the behaviors of their partner. This study provides an analysis of the psychometric properties of the Indonesian version of the Partner Surveillance Scale which contains 15 items and used a 4-point Likert scale format. The study recruited 214 female university students aged 17-23 years old, who used Instagram. The Graded Response Model (GRM) method was applied. As a result, the Indonesian version of the Partner Surveillance Scale was proved to have good psychometrics properties and had good fit to the GRM. All assumptions of GRM were met and the scale had high reliability. But, it should be noted that some items did not fit well with the model. The results of this study also provide an alternative to the use of Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) in analyzing polytomous data with GRM. This study concluded that the psychometric properties of the Partner Surveillance Scale were good.
Direct Climate Forcing by Anthropogenic Sulfate Aerosols: The Arrhenius Paradigm a Century Later

The so-called "greenhouse gases", or "hothouse" gases as Arrhenius called them, are not the only radiatively active substances being added to the atmosphere by humans. A different class of matter, aerosols, consisting of small particles of condensed matter suspended in the air, has several climatic effects besides a small amount of absorption of infrared radiation. The particles that constitute the smoke and haze of industrial regions arise both as smoke from combustion and as the products of atmospheric chemical reactions, e.g. of sulfur dioxide from burning of coal. The direct effect of aerosols on the Earth's heat balance consists of their reflection of solar radiation back to space. Their indirect effect derives from their roles as the nuclei around which cloud droplets form. Adding more of these cloud condensation nuclei increases the reflectivity of clouds, a very important determinant of climate as discussed by Arrhenius. Aerosols may also influence the longevity of clouds and thus the fraction of earth covered by them-the "nebulosity" mentioned by Arrhenius. An additional direct effect of aerosols is light absorption by black soot particles, which can influence both clear and cloudy skies. Although quantitative assessments of these effects of aerosols have been developed only in recent years, there have been extensive studies and observations of their roles in climate, particularly the ancient observation that large volcanic eruptions caused large-scale cooling to occur. Interestingly, several of the early key studies were also conducted in Sweden, notably by Angstrom and Bergeron. The present understanding is that man-made aerosols have a cooling effect, but that it is somewhat smaller in the global mean than the warming effect of the man-made greenhouse gases and is spatially and temporally very different. Thus, no simple cancellation of the two effects can occur. This paper reviews the historical development of the understanding and quantification of direct aerosol effects on climate. Particular attention will be paid to comparing the parallel approaches to quantifying the effects of greenhouse gases and anthropogenic sulfate aerosols, respectively, which were both developed in Sweden, albeit almost a century apart.
Applying Multi-Objective Test Selection for Continuous Integration at OutSystems

Performing exhaustive regression testing whenever a change occurs in large software systems tends to be unfeasible as it takes too long to run all the test cases. The main motivation of this work is to provide a shorter and earlier feedback loop to developers when a change is made, instead of having to wait for the currently slower feedback from a Continuous Integration pipeline execution. The developed technique and tool, MOTSD, implements a multiobjective test selection approach for C# codebases. MOTSD uses a particle swarm optimization algorithm to search for relevant selections and uses a test suite diagnosability metric and historical metrics as objectives. When compared with random selections, MOTSD is able to match in terms of ability to select failing tests while also providing, in at least 25% of the commits, selections that were, on average, 93% smaller and 76% faster to execute.
Review of Reaction Mechanisms of Oxygen and Proposed Intermediate Reduction Products in Wine: Central Role of Iron and Copper

The chemical, biochemical, and enological literature has been broadly surveyed to identify the reaction mechanisms of oxygen and of its intermediate reduction products that should apply to wine. The reduction potentials of redox couples derived from wine polyphenols and oxygen, as well as that of the Fe3+/Fe2+ couple, have been calculated for wine conditions and form the basis for discussing how these redox systems are likely to interact. Values obtained for wine quinone/catechol couples agree well with those reported for wine-model conditions. Catechol derivatives are oxidized sequentially to semiquinones and quinones, while oxygen is reduced in turn to hydroperoxyl radicals and hydrogen peroxide. The whole process is mediated by redox cycling of the Fe3+/Fe2+ couple, which is made possible by the lowering of its reduction potential by coordination of Fe3+ to hydroxy acids. Hydrogen peroxide is then further reduced by Fe2+ in the Fenton reaction to produce hydroxyl radicals, which oxidize saturated hydroxy compounds. Intermediate radicals may react with oxygen, providing an additional pathway for its reduction. Thus, both ferric and ferrous ions, which are present in wine, perform an important catalytic function. The antioxidant activity of bisulfite is largely restricted to its reaction with hydrogen peroxide. Direct reaction of sulfur dioxide with oxygen, which is a radical chain process, is prevented by the radical scavenging activity of polyphenols.
Management of Case of Acromegaly for Emergency Exploratory Laparotomy for Intestinal Obstruction

Acromegaly is rare disorder caused by either excessive secretion of growth hormone or pituitary adenoma secreting excess growth hormone. Enlargement of face, tongue and mandible with involvement of soft tissues and connective tissues makes airway difficult. Associated medical disorders and difficult airway leads to anaesthesia challenging in a patient of Acromegaly. We report a case of Acromegaly with hypertension, diabetes mellitus and difficult airway.
A new specimen of Cricosaurus saltillensis (crocodylomorpha: Metriorhynchidae) from the upper Jurassic of Mexico: evidence for craniofacial convergence within Metriorhynchidae

Here we describe a new specimen of the metriorhynchid crocodylomorph Cricosaurus saltillensis. Furthermore, we amend the specific epithet to use the masculine suffix rather than the neuter suffix (i.e., change saltillense to saltillensis). The new specimen, like the holotype, is from the Tithonian (Upper Jurassic) La Caja Formation of Gomez Farías, Mexico. Based on this new specimen, C. saltillensis had proportionally the shortest snout and the shortest maxillary and dentary tooth rows of any member of the subfamily Metriorhynchinae. Furthermore, while the teeth are poorly preserved, carinae are visible (a rare morphology within Cricosaurus). The enlarged intratemporal flanges (anteromedial corners of the supratemporal fossae) demonstrate that the fibre length of the supratemporal adductor muscles were increased in C. saltillensis, this would have increased the medial component of the force vectors thereby stabilising the skull against torque. The reduced tooth count and carinated teeth, and a skull adapted to better resist torque suggest C. saltillensis was better suited to feeding on largebodied prey than other members of the genus Cricosaurus.
Osteological Redescription of the Late Triassic Sauropodomorph Dinosaur Thecodontosaurus antiquus Based on New Material from Tytherington, Southwestern England

ABSTRACT Thecodontosaurus antiquus is a basal sauropodomorph from the Rhaetian locality of Durdham Down in Bristol, U.K. Sauropodomorph material putatively assigned to this species was found at the nearby site of Tytherington. Here, we describe the Tytherington specimens and compare them with T. antiquus and other Late Triassic sauropodomorphs from Britain. We find that this material can be assigned to T. antiquus based on multiple shared morphological traits, and we provide a revised diagnosis of this taxon. The new anatomical information from the Tytherington specimens enriches the osteology of the species, particularly of previously unknown parts of the skeleton such as the skull. We find poor anatomical support to distinguish the contemporary Pantydraco caducus from T. antiquus, such that the former might represent a juvenile of the latter. We also discuss the questionable validity of Asylosaurus yalensis. Thecodontosaurus antiquus is one of the most basal sauropodomorphs that show craniodental traits related to herbivory, while retaining a plesiomorphic limb morphology and posture. This taxon was an important component of Rhaetian insular ecosystems of southwestern Britain.
Virtual Inertia from Smart Loads T

The inertia of future power systems is expected to decrease with increasing penetration of renewable energy resources. Sufficient inertia is required to avoid large fluctuations in grid frequency and also limit the excessive rate of change of frequency (RoCoF). Unlike many previous works focusing on virtual inertia on the power supply side, this paper studies and quantifies potential virtual inertia from the load side. The analysis shows that, voltage-dependent loads coupled with electric spring (ES) technology can be operated as smart loads (SL) within the +/5% tolerance of the ac mains voltage and offer virtual inertia. Following the U.K. National Grid frequency requirements, it is shown that the ES based SL can provide virtual inertia up to an inertia coefficient of HSL=2.5 s (when np=2) with respect to its load power rating. The effectiveness of such virtual inertia extraction from SL has been verified by the simulation study on a CIGRE benchmark microgrid with high-resolution domestic demand model. The value of HSL is shown to be around 1.3 s during the most part of the day and can increase the overall system inertia coefficient by 0.53 s if all the domestic loads are transformed into the proposed smart loads.

Transmission biology of maize bushy stunt phytoplasma by the corn leafhopper (Homoptera: Cicadellidae)

Effects of temperature and vector age at the time of acquisition on the transmission of maize bushy stunt phytoplasma by the corn leafhopper, Dalbulus maidis (DeLong & Wolcott), were studied. Mean latent period in the leafhopper and transmission rate of the Tlaltizapan maize bushy stunt phytoplasma isolate had a quadratic relation with temperature. Mean latent period was inversely related to temperature from 15 to 25°C. Transmission rate was highest at 20 and 25°C and lowest at 15 and 30°C. The Tlaltizapan isolate was transmitted better when maize bushy stunt phytoplasma was acquired as nymphs than as adults at 15, 20, and 25°C. The transmission biology of 3 maize bushy stunt phytoplasma isolates by D. maidis was compared when leafhoppers acquired phytoplasma as nymphs and were held at 15 and 25°C. Differences among the 3 isolates were found only at 25°C. At this temperature, the Poza Rica isolate had a longer mean latent period and higher transmission rate than the El Batan and Tlaltizapan isolates. Moreover, the Poza Rica isolate had a longer incubation period in the plant host and produced more basal tillering in infected maize than did the other 2 isolates. Based upon biological findings in this study, as well as molecular studies reported elsewhere, we propose that maize bushy stunt phytoplasma has a polyphyletic origin and evolved from strains of the aster yellows phytoplasma.
The economics and settlement dynamics of the later Holocene inhabitants of near coastal environments in the West Coast National Park (South Africa)1

Recent years have seen lively debate on the archaeology of hunter-gatherers and herders in the Western Cape. Smith et al. (1991) stress the distinct nature of these economic and cultural systems, and thereby argue that herders, accompanied by sheep and using pottery, first entered the Western Cape about two thousand years ago. Sadr (2004) has countered that the distinction between hunter-gatherers and herders is less clear-cut. He suggests that sheep herding could have arrived without a major migration of people, and that there was considerable interaction between both cultural groups. The various points of view and archaeological background to this debate have been summarized in recent publications (e.g., Sadr et al. 2003; Sadr 2004; Parkington & Hall in press), and this question is discussed in reports on pottery (e.g., Sadr & Smith 1991; Sampson & Sadr 1999), fauna (e.g., Klein & Cruz-Uribe 1989; Smith 1998; Webley 2002), human skeletal data (e.g., Pfeiffer & Sealy 2005), stable isotopic research (e.g., Sealy & van der Merwe 1987) and other lines of reasoning.
Population genetic structure of blue swimming crab (Portunus pelagicus) in the Gulf of Thailand

Supmee V, Sawusdee A, Sangthong P, Suppapan J. 2020. Population genetic structure of Blue Swimming Crab (Portunus pelagicus) in the Gulf of Thailand. Biodiversitas 21: 4260-4268. The Blue Swimming Crab (Portunus pelagicus) is an important commercial fishery product in the Gulf of Thailand. To provide a strategy for management, information on genetic features is needed. In our study, the population genetic structure and demographic history of the P. pelagicus living in the Gulf of Thailand were analyzed based on the variation of the nucleotide sequence of the mitochondrial DNA in the control region (mtDNA CR). Ninety-seven samples were collected from 5 sampling sites: Rayong, Chonburi, Chumphon, Surat Thani, and Nakhon Si Thammarat provinces in the Gulf of Thailand. Fortynine haplotypes were identified and 39 private haplotypes were found. An AMOVA showed no genetic structure among populations. The pairwise FST also indicated no statistically significant difference between all possible regional combinations. The topology of a minimum spanning network revealed a star-like topology that was not separated by geographic structure. The historical demographic analysis revealed a stable population size for a long period and followed by a very recent expansion. An absence of a population structure of the P. pelagicus was possibly caused by a high level of gene flow. The results of this study differ from previous studies that used genetic markers in nuclear DNA. Thus, to clear the genetic structure information of P. pelagicus in the Gulf of Thailand, we suggested that more sensitive markers to detect genetic structure should be used in further analysis.

We present the first lattice QCD results for matrix elements of the dimension-7 operators R2,3 and linear combinations R̃2,3 using nonrelativistic QCD for the bottom quark and a highly improved staggered quark (HISQ) action for the strange quark. Computations use MILC ensembles of gauge field configuations with 2+1+1 flavors of sea quarks with the HISQ discretization, including lattices with physically light up/down quark masses. We discuss features unique to calculating matrix elements of these operators and analyze uncertainties from series truncation, discretization, and quark mass dependence. Finally we report the first Standard Model determination of ∆Γs using lattice QCD results for all hadronic matrix elements through O(1/mb). The main result of our calculations yields the 1/mb contribution ∆Γ1/mb = −0.022(10) ps −1. Adding this to the leading order contribution, the Standard Model prediction is ∆Γs = 0.092(14) ps −1.
Use of Genetic Tools for Improving Biotic and Abiotic Plant Resistance

1. Overview Plant production has considerably demands in the future. Expanding global markets and the competition of food and non-food uses require another significant progress in productivity levels. Thus, the scenario which agriculture is facing, is crop rotations with a limited number of high-yielding crops for the food or raw materials market, under aggravated climatic conditions. In sum, these developments will result in a significant increase in problems caused by biotic and abiotic stresses, which will decrease yield levels. Crops are exposed more frequently to abiotic stresses such as drought, salinity, High temperature, Flooding, and nutrient deficiencies. These stresses limit production. Recently, advances in physiology, molecular biology and genetics have greatly improved our knowledge of crops response to these stresses and the basis of varietal differences in tolerance. Stress is known as the force per unit area acting upon a material, and leading to dimensional change. Generally, it is used to describe the effect of adverse forces, and this is how it is usually applied to biological systems. In the Abstract: The integration of conventional breeding with genetic and genomic tools such as quantitative trait loci (QTL), microarrays and transgenic offer new opportunities for improving biotic and abiotic resistance in plant. Plant genetic diversity (PGD) can be stored in the form of plant genetic resources (PGR) such as gene bank, DNA library which preserve genetic material for long period to identify key genes and understand their function in plant improvement. The data included not only sequence information, but information on mutations, markers, maps, functional discoveries, etc. With the advent of new biotechnological techniques, this process of genetic tools are now being accelerated and carried out with more precision and rapid manner than the classical breeding techniques. It is also note that gene banks look into several issues in order to improve levels of germplasm distribution and its utilization, duplication of plant identity, and access to database, for prebreeding activities. So, it is possible to identify the genetic variation from phenotypic variation either by quantitative traits (traits that vary continuous and are governed by many genes, e.g., plant height) or discrete traits that fall into discrete categories and are governed by one or few major genes (e.g., white, pink, or red petal colour in certain flowers) which are referred as qualitative traits.
