Christiane A. M. Baltaxe, Foundations of distinctive feature theory . Baltimore: University Park Press, 1978. Pp. xx + 219.

The present publication by three Albanian specialists at the Humboldt University, East Berlin - the culmination of many years' effort and research - may be fairly described as a milestone in the field of Albanian lexicography. For the first time in a comparable work the entries, some 30,000 in number, are given in the standard literary forms as used officially in Albania since the orthographical reforms of 1972. However, a limited number of variants, such as are met in earlier sources, are duly recorded. Furthermore, a summary characterization of Gegh forms will be of value to those reading materials printed in that variety of the language which is, of course, in regular use in the Albanian-speaking parts of Yugoslavia.Every effort has been made to present up-to-date matter. In addition to the largely traditional vocabulary of everyday life, we find many neologisms from science, technology and politics, in the main international terms, but the authors have been at pains to draw attention to special Albanian developments, as 'KONDICIONAIJSHT Adv Jur bedingt, unter bestimmten Bedingungen, KONDICION^L, e Adj bedingt; DENIM~ bedingte Verurteil- ung 1 or (with fine touch) 'AKTIV(ST Aktivmitglied' but 'STAKANOVIST Aktivist'. A novel feature is an outline of standard grammar (649—739), including a comprehensive morphology, all the more appropriate in the absence so far of a comparable account in a foreign language. This dictionary has been carefully thought out. The entries are lucid and well arranged, and the typography leaves nothing to be desired. It goes without saying that a work of this nature, which breaks new ground, will be a desideratum wherever studies involving the Albanian language are pursued.
Discriminación de género en las calificaciones de las escuelas públicas uruguayas

En este trabajo se analizo la existencia de diferencias de genero en las calificaciones finales de rendimiento de los alumnos de tercer y sexto grado de escuelas publicas de Uruguay. Se utilizaron datos administrativos, calificaciones de pruebas ciegas (TERCE) y calificaciones de pruebas no ciegas (calificaciones finales de rendimiento) de estudiantes de tercer y sexto grado. La estrategia econometrica consistio en controlar la calificacion del rendimiento con las calificaciones de las pruebas ciegas y ciertas caracteristicas de los estudiantes, del entorno socioeconomico, de la escuela, por la calificacion final de conducta del alumno y una dummy del sexo del nino. Se encontro un sesgo en las calificaciones de rendimiento a favor de los ninos en tercer grado pero no se encontraron diferencias en las calificaciones de rendimiento de sexto grado. Se interpreto que el comportamiento disimil por grado podria ser una consecuencia del mecanismo de asignacion de los docentes a las clases, que pareceria estar asignando a los mejores docentes a sexto grado.

The Impact of Potential Korea-U.S. Free Trade Agreement Renegotiation on the Korean Rice Market and Trade

Abstract Korea replaced its rice import quota with a tariff rate quota (TRQ) in 2015. A structural model representing the Korean rice market is developed to evaluate this new trade policy and examine the possibility of Korean rice imports under uncertainty. Results indicate that rice imports in excess of the current TRQ quantity are unlikely for a range of market conditions. Two scenarios, which are the over-quota tariff rate reduction and the TRQ quantity expansion, show how the market responds to policy changes. In addition, Korean rice imports are sensitive to consumer preferences for different rice types.

BECOMING A TIME-TRAVELLER: USING EXPANSIVE FRAMING TO PROMOTE TRANSFER OF LEARNING BETWEEN UNIVERSITY AND THE WORKPLACE

Drawing on the work developed for a doctoral research on transfer of learning, where three undergraduate students’ experiences of a yearlong work-placement were investigated and analysed, this presentation explores expansive framing as a mechanism to promote transfer of learning in the transition between university and the workplace. Expansive framing, as developed by Randi Engle (2006), argues that transfer can be promoted by broadening the context of learning in terms of time, place and participation. According to Engle (2006, Engle et al., 2012), when teachers frame time expansively in their lectures, they establish a temporal connection between the situation of learning and application that emphasizes to the student the future relevance of that learning. In doing so, teachers exemplify how learning can travel and be relevant across time and place, thus promoting learning transfer. However, in the transition between university and the workplace, where transfer is also expected, framing by teachers is not available. In relation to this challenge, this presentation aims to: firstly, present ways in which expansive framing can occur in the transition between university and the workplace. Secondly, argue that given certain conditions, students can learn to take an active role in framing their learning expansively, thus becoming time-travellers themselves. Finally, the presenter also aims this presentation will offer some inspiration for teachers on how to support their students to frame learning expansively. References: [1] ENGLE, R. A. 2006.

Trust Trap? Self-Reinforcing Processes in the Constitution of Inter-Organizational Trust

This chapter points to the peculiar nature of trust as a property of inter-organizational relations that may be desirable though not easily established, but also sometimes undesirable though hard to abandon. We argue that this is due to self-reinforcing processes that may be slow to get started but that tend to spiral up to levels that essentially lock organizations into their trust-based relationships, even when the trust has been jeopardized.
Thermal and mechanical properties of injection moulded heat-treated oil palm empty fruit bunch fibre-reinforced high-density polyethylene composites

Oil palm empty fruit bunch (OPEFB) was heat treated at 180°C using a vacuum oven for one hour, extruded and compounded with high-density polyethylene at 10%, 20% and 30% weight fraction. The composites then were injection moulded into dumb-bell shaped specimens. The effect of composition and heat treatment on the thermal properties of composites were investigated using Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC). The tensile and flexural properties were also tested using an Instron Universal Testing Machine. TGA shows an increase in the degradation peak temperature of the heat-treated composites. DSC revealed an increasing trend in the degree of crystallinity (Xc) of the matrix as the heat-treated empty fruit bunch was used as a filler. An increment in the tensile modulus and tensile strain were observed for the treated fibre composites. In addition, the tensile strength value was increased for treated fibre composites with lower fibre loading.
Effets d'un amorçage olfactif dans une tache de décision lexicale chez le sujet présentant une maladie d'Alzheimer précoce

L’olfaction entretient une etroite relation avec la memoire et les emotions, faisant des odeurs un outil potentiellement necessaire a la prise en soin des personnes atteintes de maladie d’Alzheimer. L’alteration de la memoire semantique figure parmi les expressions cliniques de la maladie d’Alzheimer. Au stade precoce de la maladie, des mesures de memoire implicite permettent de mettre en evidence l’activation de la memoire semantique. Dans notre etude, nous avons explore le potentiel d’activation de la memoire semantique via un stimulus olfactif. Nous avons verifie la presence d’effets d’amorcage en modalite olfactive par le biais d’un paradigme d’amorcage semantique dans une tâche de decision lexicale. Nos resultats ont montre des effets heterogenes a la fois chez nos sujets avec maladie d’Alzheimer et chez nos sujets sains. La presence d’effets d’amorcage negatifs chez certains sujets ne nous a pas permis de conclure a l’efficacite des amorces olfactives pour declencher une activation semantique. Contrairement aux amorces lexicales, les amorces olfactives ont montre une capacite inconstante a entrainer des effets d’amorcage positifs. Cette variabilite pourrait etre la consequence de reactions emotionnelles individu-dependantes face aux odeurs, evoquant un effet d’amorcage d’ordre affectif et non semantique comme nous l’avions attendu. Ces resultats ouvrent la possibilite d’une integration des odeurs dans la pratique orthophonique aupres des patients atteints de maladie d’Alzheimer.
An Approach for Using Remote Sensing Products and Ground Observations in the Evaluation of a Numerical Weather Prediction Model

A common problem in Air Quality Modeling (AQM) is the lack of meteorological observations in the area of interest for the initialization of Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) models or evaluation of their results. Even if a significant number of weather stations are available, they cannot provide information above the surface level. Satellite atmospheric products constitute a unique source of information as they can give measurements at every point of the planet, and vertical profiles of some meteorological variables. However, this information should be validated if operational use is intended in air quality studies. This work develops a methodology for spatial and temporal forecast verification using three different sources of information regularly available in Mendoza: MODIS atmospheric products, radiosounding data and radiometer measurements of water vapor. We present comparisons and statistical analysis between Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) temperature and dew point profiles versus traditional upper air profiles obtained by soundings and total water vapor content obtained with radiometer. We developed statistical indicators of information quality, as a guide for operational use of satellite atmospheric products for NWP model validation.
Screen Dependency Disorders (SDD): An Innovative Contest for Brain of Children

Screen viewing now begins in infancy with new research finding that the predominance of screen viewing in children aged under two years ‘is high and looks to surge steadily across age groups’ [1]. Associations are emerging between screen dependency disorders such as Internet Addiction Disorder and specific neurogenetic polymorphisms; abnormal neural tissue and neural function. Although unusual neural structural and functional characteristics may be a precondition rather than a magnitude of addiction; there may also be a bidirectional relationship. As is the case with substance addictions; it is possible that intensive routine exposure to certain screen activities during grave stages of neural development may alter gene expression resulting in structural; synaptic and functional changes in the developing brain leading to SDS; particularly in children with predisposing neurogenetic profiles [1]. There may also be compound/secondary effects on neural development. Screen dependency disorders; even at subclinical levels; involve high levels of unrestricted screen time; inducing greater child deskbound behavior thereby reducing vital aerobic fitness; which plays an important role in the neurological health of children; particularly in brain structure and function. Child health policy must therefore adhere to the principle of precaution as a prudent approach to protecting child neurological integrity and well-being [2]. ‘Addiction’ is a term increasingly used to describe the growing number of children engaging in a variety of different screen activities in a dependent; problematic manner. The concept and diagnostic criteria derive from pathological gambling and substance-related addictions and are often based on the amount of time spent engaging in a screen activity; such as playing computer games; and the extent to which this compromises the individual’s overall functioning [2].
Travel motivations of the residents of Guimarães

Guimaraes has made a major effort in promoting tourism, positioning itself as an urban and cultural tourism destination. This strategy is based on the historical heritage of the city, which is a UNESCO world heritage site since 2001, and the promotion of events, such as the European Capital of Culture (ECOC) in 2012. The new image created for Guimaraes has defined a new lifestyle for its residents by placing tourism and culture at the forefront of a new development strategy. This study examines the underlying reasons for the travel decisions of the population of the municipality of Guimaraes, investigating their push and pull tourist motivations. The study also analyses the role that important socio-demographic variables play in determining travel motivations of residents from this municipality. The empirical analysis was undertaken based on questionnaires administered in 2012 to residents of Guimaraes. Results show that gender, age, and education make a difference with regard to travel motivations.
A quick scoping review of psychosocial treatment recommendations for African Americans with schizophrenia spectrum disorders

ABSTRACT Objective: To determine the generalizability of the Schizophrenia Patient Outcomes Research Team (PORT) 2009 treatment recommendations to African Americans. Methods: We examined inclusion of African Americans with schizophrenia spectrum disorders in 58 studies across seven interventions. Results: Evidence varied by intervention. Representation of African Americans ranged from 0% to 83%. The strongest evidence was found for assertive community treatment, supported employment, substance use disorder interventions, skills training, and weight management interventions. Conclusions: Future research should recruit samples that are representative of African Americans. We offer practice recommendations as well as recommendations for social work research to advance generalization of findings to African Americans.
Plynlimon research catchment hydrochemistry (2016-2019)

This dataset includes stream and rainfall hydrochemistry of the Plynlimon research catchments in Mid Wales. The data cover the period from March 2016 to March 2019. Sampling was carried out fortnightly from March 2016 to July 2017. From August 2017 to November 2018 stream samples were collected every four weeks and the rain sample every two weeks. From December 2018 onwards all samples were collected every four weeks. Data are presented for major anions and cations, pH, conductivity, alkalinity, in-situ measurements of water temperature and stream flow for the six stream locations, and air temperature and volume for the rainfall sites. Stream samples were taken using a grab technique and filtered in the field. Rain samples were collected using bulk precipitation collectors. Fieldwork was carried out by CEH members of staff trained in the fieldwork techniques required. Chemical analysis was carried out by qualified CEH chemists at laboratories at CEH Lancaster and CEH Bangor. The Plynlimon research catchments lie within the headwaters of the River Severn and the River Wye in the uplands of mid-Wales. Intensive and long-term monitoring within the catchments underpins a wealth of hydrological and hydro-chemical research. Monitoring is funded by the Centre for Ecology & Hydrology, and is ongoing since 1968.
Teaching about Learning: The Effects of Instruction on Metacognition in a Sociological Theory Course

This article investigates the effects of teaching about metacognition in a sociological theory course. I created a series of teaching interventions to introduce students to the science of learning, including an interactive lecture on metacognition, a discussion that models metacognitive strategies, and activities for students to practice metacognition. This article describes those teaching interventions and assesses whether direct instruction led to greater use of metacognitive and cognitive strategies, confidence, and motivation to learn. Data were collected over seven semesters using a pretest–posttest approach. Comparison of means showed that students who received metacognitive instruction did not differ significantly from a control group on strategy use, confidence, or motivation. Regression analyses show that metacognitive instruction did lead to greater use of metacognitive strategies. While instruction in metacognition did not produce all desired effects, this research illustrates the value of incorporating the science of learning in sociology courses.
Testing an Irrational Model of Information Privacy Based on Competence Needs Satisfaction

Recently, there have been calls for approaching from the irrationality point of view to better explain the privacy paradox phenomenon. This study is a kind of response to them. The aim of the study is to investigate how satisfying competence needs, one of basic psychological needs suggested in self-determination theory, affects irrational information disclosure decision (i.e., risk-benefit assessment). To do this, the study builds an irrationality-based model in which competence needs satisfaction affects both perceived risks negatively and perceived benefits (i.e
IMEX Methods for Pricing Fixed Strike Asian Options with Jump-Diffusion Models

In this paper we study implicit-explicit (IMEX) methods combined with a semi-Lagrangian scheme to evaluate the prices of ﬁxed strike arithmetic Asian options under jump-diﬀusion models. An Asian option is described by a two-dimensional partial integro-diﬀerential equation (PIDE) that has no diﬀusion term in the arithmetic average direction. The IMEX methods with the semi-Lagrangian scheme to solve the PIDE are discretized along characteristic curves and performed without any ﬁxed point iteration techniques at each time step. We implement numerical simulations for the prices of a European ﬁxed strike arithmetic Asian put option under the Merton model to demonstrate the second-order conver- gence rate.
Microstructural optimization of Solid Oxide CellsOptimisation microstructurale des cellules à oxydes solides : a coupled stochastic geometrical and electrochemical modeling approach applied to LSCF-CGO electrode

This work aims at better understanding the impact of Solid Oxide Cells (SOC) microstructure on their performance, with an illustration on an LSCF-CGO electrode. A coupled 3D stochastic geometrical and electrochemical modeling approach has been adopted. In this frame, a plurigaussian random field model and an in-house sphere packing algorithm have been adapted to simulate the microstructure of SOCs. The geometrical models have been validated on different electrodes reconstructed by synchrotron X-ray nano-holotomography or focused ion-beam tomography. Afterwards, semi-analytical microstructural correlations have been proposed and validated on a large dataset of representative synthetic microstructures. These relationships allow establishing the link between the electrode ‘basic’ parameters (composition, porosity and grain size), to the ‘key’ electrochemical parameters (Triple Phase Boundary length density and Specific surface areas), and are particularly useful for cell manufacturers who can easily control the first set of parameters. Concerning the electrochemical part, a reference symmetrical cell made of LSCF-CGO has been tested in a three-electrode setup. This enabled the validation of an oxygen electrode model that links the electrode morphological parameters to its polarization resistance, taking into account the thermodynamic data. Finally, the coupling of the validated models has enabled the investigation of the impact of electrode composition, porosity and grain size on the cell electrochemical performance, and thus providing useful insights to cell manufacturers.
Perceived Temporal Order and Simultaneity: Beyond Psychometric Functions

Perception via the traditional senses of vision, audition, touch, gustation, or olfaction implies mechanisms (the sense organs) and neural structures (the sensory pathways) that transduce, transmit, and process physical energy (in vision, audition, and touch) or molecules (in gustation and olfaction). The same holds for the non-traditional senses of nociception, thermoception, equilibrioception, and others. In contrast, time does not emanate from a physical source and we do not have a sense organ for time, yet we have a vivid experience of it. Perception of time (chronoception) for brief events manifests in two remarkable abilities arguably subserved by separate processes. One is the ability to discriminate whether or not two punctate (instantaneous) events occurred simultaneously; the other is the ability to discriminate whether or not two brief events lasted the same duration. These punctate or brief events are delivered by presenting stimuli that can be perceived with our senses. Those stimuli are the occasion for some elusive machinery in the brain to extract the signals that render our perception of the time of occurrence of punctate events and our perception of temporal durations. The duration of a stimulus is defined as the time elapsed between its onset and its offset. Then, perception of the duration of a stimulus presentation requires a second-stage process based on the output of first-stage processes determining the perceived onset and offset of the stimulus. This chapter focuses only on the first-stage processes and, specifically, on the methods used to assess their functioning and the utility of such methods to characterize timing processes. First-stage processes imply capture and transduction at the corresponding sense organ, followed by transmission of the sensory signals up the applicable pathway onto a central mechanism in the brain. Transduction, transmission, and processing of stimulus signals incur temporal delays that differ across sensory modalities but such delays also vary across stimulus types within the same modality and across repeated presentations of the exact same stimulus. When two punctate events occur simultaneously, the arrival times of
