Online Privacy Awareness using Social Media: A Case Study of Malaysian Youth

The wave of social media has changed the preference of how youth are using technology for communication. Recent study shows that youth are the main users of social media. To certain extent, youth are sharing too many information including their private and personal in formation. However, lack of knowledge about online privacy is opening the do ors for youth to become the victims of privacy attack. This exploratory stu dy aims to explore the level of knowledge related to privacy among Malaysian youth when using social media. The results of this study showed that Malays ian youth’s awareness on privacy issues is still at infancy level. This pape r concludes by noting the theoretical and practical contributions.
Variable Viscosity of Casson Fluid Flow Over A Stretching Sheet in Porous Media with Newtonian Heating

Casson fluid flow with variable viscosity in porous media over a heated stretching sheet is investigated. The partial differential equations representing the flow motion are first transformed to ordinary differential equations by similarity transformation before being solved numerically by the finite-difference method. The effects of the viscosity variation parameter \((\Omega)\), the permeability number \((\kappa)\), Prandtl number \((Pr)\), Biot number \((Bi)\) and non-Newtonian fluid parameter \((\beta)\) on the fluid flow and heat transfer, along with the temperature and velocity profiles, are presented graphically for some arbitrary values.
JIT supply chain; an investigation through general system theory

Article history: Received August 14, 2012 Received in revised format 8 January 2013 Accepted 10 January 2013 Available online January 11 2013 This paper explains theoretical approach of the four theories of General system Theory (GST) developed by Yourdon (1989) [Yourdon, E. (1989). Modern Structured Analysis. Yourdon Press, Prentice-Hall International, Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey. Senge] while applying it in information technology and subsequently used by caddy (2007) [Caddy I.N. , & Helou, M.M. (2007). Supply chains and their management: Application of general systems theory. Journal of Retailing and Consumer Services, 14, 319–327. ] in field of supply chain and management. JIT philosophy in core activities of supply chain i.e. procurement, production processes, and logistics are discussed through general system theory. The growing structure of the supply chain poses the implication restrictions and requires a heavy support system, many times a compromise is done while implementing JIT. The study would be useful to understand the general trends generated naturally regarding the adoption of the JIT philosophy in the supply chain. © 2013 Growing Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
Anaerobic habitats and distribution of the anaerobic phenotype among eukaryotes

Anaerobic environments are widespread and common : they include marine and freshwater sediments, waterlogged soils, sewage and the gastro-intestinal tracts of animals. The interior of organic aggregates with diameters greater than about 1 mm may also be anaerobic if diffusion is the only means by which 0, can penetrate (Fenchel & Finlay, 1991 a). Anaerobic environments often contain large numbers of prokaryotes and these in turn support a variety of anaerobic protozoa which feed on them (Fenchel & Finlay, 1990). Protozoa w h c h live exclusively in anaerobic environments and which lack the enzymes necessary for oxidative phosphorylation can be divided into two groups. The first includes protozoa which are probably ‘ primitively ’ anaerobic, principally the trichomonads, diplomonads and microsporidia; these taxa form the core of the phylum Archezoa (Cavalier-Smith, 1987). On the basis of their small subunit (SSU) ribosomal (r)RNA sequences, the few Archezoa sequenced so far form the basal lineages in the eukaryotic tree (Vossbrinck e t al., 1987; Sogin e t al., 1989; Chakrabarti e t ul., 1992; Van Keulen e t al., 1993; Leipe e t al., 1993). All Archezoa lack mitochondria and Variomorpha laecatrzx has prokaryote-sized (70s) ribosomes (Vossbrinck e t al., 1987). The Archezoa are living ‘relics’ of the earliest phase of anaerobic eukaryotic evolution (Cavalier-Smith, 1987) which occurred when free oxygen was scarce in the atmosphere.
Dimensions of Authenticity in Malay Cuisine from Experts' Perspectives

Food authenticity is defined as the originality and genuine of Malay cuisine in various aspects. It is an important element in portraying the family identity, culture and heritage of Malay community in Malaysia. Food experts including professional chefs and cooks are believed the parties that still practising and maintaining the authenticity of Malay cuisine in today’s scenario. Hence, in-depth interviews were individually conducted among the Malay food experts (n=15) in each State in Peninsular Malaysia to seek how an experts interprets the meaning and characteristics of authenticity in Malay cuisine that influenced the taste of the food. Technically, the food experts were chosen based on the diverse understanding, skills and experiences in Malay cuisine. Furthermore, the interview data were strengthened with extensive observation in their food outlets. Consequently, data analysis by using a self determination theory approach revealed that Malay food experts’ personality and motivation were directly accessed them to view the authenticity of Malay cuisine in three dimensions. There were consists of family culture (relational orientation, value, cooking skill, cooking method, cooking utensil and cooking ingredients), self interest (hobby, passion, permanent job, financial and events), and awareness (authentic taste, texture and appearance, modification, and alteration) characteristics. In a nutshell, these empirical findings demonstrated how a model of dimensions of authenticity in Malay cuisine and the characteristics able to influence the authentic taste of the cuisine from the experts’ perspective and served as guidance for future researches and interventions in Malay cuisine authenticity.
Dynamic Argument Structure

This paper presents a new classification of verbs of change and modification, proposing a dynamic interpretation of the lexical semantics of the predicate and its arguments. Adopting the model of dynamic event structure proposed in Pustejovsky (2013), and extending the model of dynamic selection outlined in Pustejovsky and Jezek (2011), we define a verb class in terms of its Dynamic Argument Structure (DAS), a representation which encodes how the participants involved in the change behave as the event unfolds. We address how the logical resources and results of change predicates are realized syntactically, if at all, as well as how the exploitation of the resource results in the initiation or termination of a new object, i.e. the result. We show how DAS can be associated with a dynamically encoded event structure representation, which measures the change making reference to a scalar component, modelled in terms of assignment and/or testing of values of attributes of participants.
Working Mothers in Finland: A Cross-Country Comparison of Work to Family Interference, Work Characteristics and Satisfaction with Life

In this study it was examined whether work-related experiences of Finnish mothers are different from work-related experiences of mothers in 11 other European countries. The data was based on European Social Survey, round 2, conducted in the years 2004-2005. Descriptive statistics and ordinal regression analysis were used to assess the outcomes. Work to home interference was not especially frequent among mothers in Finland. However, interference that comprised other family members was more common than in the other countries investigated. With regard to work characteristics, Finnish mothers differed both negatively and positively from mothers in the other countries. Long working hours increased time-based interference from work to family members. Time pressure at work increased both time- and strain-based interferences. Social support from co-workers decreased strain-based interference. Work to family member interferences, especially strain-based interference, were negatively connected to life satisfaction. Both working and non-working mothers in Finland appeared to be satisfied with their life.
Causation Delays and Causal Neutralization up to Three Steps Ahead: The Money-Output Relationship Revisited

In this paper, we develop a parametric test procedure for multiple horizon "Granger" causality and apply the procedure to the well established problem of determining causal patterns in aggregate monthly U.S. money and output. As opposed to most papers in the parametric causality literature, we are interested in whether money ever "causes" (can ever be used to forecast) output, when causation occurs, and how (through which causal chains). For brevity, we consider only causal patterns up to horizon h = 3. Our tests are based on new recursive parametric characterizations of causality chains which help to distinguish between mere noncausation (the total absence of indirect causal routes) and causal neutralization, in which several causal routes exists that cancel each other out such that noncausation occurs. In many cases the recursive characterizations imply greatly simplified linear compound hypotheses for multi-step ahead causation, and permit Wald tests with the usual asymptotic ÷²-distribution. A simulation study demonstrates that a sequential test method does not generate the type of size distortions typically reported in the literature, and null rejection frequencies depend entirely on how we define the "null hypothesis" of non-causality (at which horizon, if any). Using monthly data employed in Stock and Watson (1989), and others, we demonstrate that while Friedman and Kuttner's (1993) result that detrended money growth fails to cause output one month ahead continues into the third quarter of 2003, a significant causal lag may exist through a variety of short-term interest rates: money appears to cause output after at least one month passes, although in some cases using recent data conflicting evidence suggests money may never cause output and be truly irrelevant in matters of real decisions.
Using GIS and Remote Sensing Technique for Zoning of Wastewater Drainage of Allahabad City

The present study is aimed to develop a GIS based method for “Divide (zoning) the Allahabad city into different wastewater zones to optimize the drainage length using the GIS and Remote sensing”. The study was performed at three different levels of analysis viz. land use/land cover analysis, site suitability analysis and hydrological analysis using remote sensing data to develop the zones. These analyses were carried out using ARCGIS 10 and ERDAS IMAGINE softwares. Land use/land cover (LULC) analysis was performed by supervised classification method using the maximum likelihood classifier. The site suitability analysis was carried out by considering technical feasibility, environment sustainability and social acceptability. Factors such as ground slope, land use, distances from surface water, roads, railway network and dwelling place were considered for site selection analysis. Buffer analysis was performed at these layers and converted it into raster format. Raster data of these layers were overlaid in the GIS and weighted overlay method was performed. The above analysis resulted in identification of suitable site for wastewater treatment plants (WTPs). Hydrological analysis was carried out for determining the slope, flow direction, flow accumulation, drainage network using digital elevation model. The analysis resulted in identification of watershed and its natural drainage network. Finally, these results were combined together to identify the zones for wastewater drainage of the city and suitable sites for wastewater treatment plants.
The Brain Adjacent to Tumor (BAT)

Gliomas represent the classical intra-axial tumors of the brain and glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most frequent and malignant glioma. It is an extremely aggressive tumor with a high invasive potential. After treatments, it invariably resumes proliferation and its recurrences occur most often within 2 cm from the resection margins (Hochberg & Pruitt, 1980; Wallner et al., 1989; Oppitz et al., 1999). The dispersion of glioma cells in the surrounding normal brain puts them out of reach of surgery, radioand chemotherapy, because outside of the limits of surgical resection and of the irradiated volume, established in order to avoid damages to the normal brain. The BAT, therefore, is the place where tumor cells migrate and invade and where a series of biological, pathological and molecular events occur as far as the interaction between host and tumor is concerned. Migrating cells from the tumor, reacting astroglia and microglial cells, elements of the immunological response or belonging to the monocytic phagocyting system reaching the tumor from the blood flow, and cells from gliogenetic zones of the brain make the BAT a melting pot of interactions among cells and factors. It has special importance also from the neuroimaging point of view for the recognition of the tumor limits and of peritumoral edema, which may have, at the same time, a prognostic significance (Ramakrishna et al., 2010). With MRI, beside the peripheral increase of T2 signal, uptake of gadolinium, hypodensities corresponding to vasogenic edema, necrotic cyst formation, other features can be shown by special technical procedures. The correlation, therefore, between neuroimaging and histopathology and molecular biology in the BAT is of the greatest interest.
Preliminary phytochemical and pharmacological (Antidiabetic) screening of Cassia tora Linn.

In the present study the methanol extracts and their ethyl acetate, n-butanol and dichloromethane fraction of seeds of Cassia tora Linn. were screened for phytochemical profiling and antidiabetic activity. After preliminary phytochemical investigations, methanol extract and its fractions were evaluated for activity employing single does and prolonged treatment in noramal and alloxan induced diabetic albino rats. All the extract were given orally of methanol extract at a dose 50, 100, and 200 mg/kg b. w. for fractions and 100 mg/kg b. w for their sub fraction of active extract. Glibenclamide was used as standard drug (mg/kg b. w. i.p.). The active n-butanol fraction of methanol extract was futher evaluated for antidiabetic activity and phytochemical characterization to isolate an active component. The active component was characterized using modern techniques like UV, IR, 1 H NMR and Mass etc. The present study shows that methanol extract at a doe’s 200 mg/kg b.w. has significant antidiabetic activity in normal, acute as well as prolonged treatment compared to control. Among all fractions of methanol extract, the n-butanol fraction had more significantly reduced the blood glucose level after single does and prolonged treatment and nearly equal to standard Glibenclamide after prolonged treatment. The napthopyrone glycoside was isolated form the n-butanol extract of the seed of cassia tora as active constituent.

Effect of amino acids on larval metamorphosis of the polychaete Hydroides elegans

The inductive compounds that are cues for for the settlement and metamorphosis of polychaete Hydroides elegans larvae, isolated from adult homogenate of the same species and leachate of the bryozoan Bugula neritina, are known to be a mixture of amino acids. Here we inves- tigated the toxicity of 20 amino acids on competent larvae. Nine amino acids were found to be toxic at certain concentrations. Subsequently, 12 out of 20 amino acids were assayed for their effect on lar- val metamorphosis of H. elegans. The effects of amino acids were decoupled from possible inductive effects of the bacteria in the bioassay system. The results showed that the amino acid isoleucine had no inductive effect on larval metamorphosis. Two acidic and 9 aliphatic amino acids directly induced larval metamorphosis. The effects of these amino acids were concentration-dependent. Among them, asparagine was the most active amino acid, and induced a high percentage of larval settlement at 1.0 × 10 -5 M, but became toxic at concentrations higher than 1.0 × 10 -4 M. The exact mechanisms by which amino acids directly induce larval metamorphosis are still unclear, although we assume that they act by binding to specific receptors and triggering the signal transduction pathway entirely or partially.
Factors limiting the northern distribution of the blueberry maggot, Rhagoletis mendax (Diptera: Tephritidae) in Eastern Canada

Until recently, the Canadian distribution of the blueberry maggot, Rhagoletis mendax Curran (Diptera: Tephritidae), was restricted to Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick. The insect was first mentioned in southern Quebec in 1996 and, to date, it has not reached the Lac St-Jean region, where 34% of Canadian blueberry acreage is located. Two questions concerning the northern limit of distribution of the blueberry maggot in Quebec were addressed. First, are wild plants suitable hosts for larval development? We collected the fruit of five wild plants, (e.g. Vaccinium corymbosum, Vaccinium angustifolium, Vaccinium myrtilloides, Gaylussacia baccata, and Aronia melanocarpa) growing in southern Quebec and allowed larvae to complete their development into pupae. Blueberry maggot pupae were recovered from Vaccinium corymbosum, Vaccinium angustifolium, and Gaylussacia baccata, indicating that these plants are suitable for larval development. Second, are harsh winter temperatures a factor limiting the northern distribution of the blueberry maggot? Pupae collected in Quebec and Nova Scotia were put in the soil in the fall and were brought back to the laboratory to determine their supercooling points at different times during winter. The supercooling points of pupae collected in Quebec and Nova Scotia averaged -22. 6Â°C. In natural conditions, air temperatures <-20Â°C are frequently observed in Quebec in January, February and March. However, due to snow cover, soil temperatures are rarely <-12Â°C. If -22. 6Â°C constitutes the lower limit for the survival, then winter temperatures are probably not a limiting factor to its northern distribution in Quebec, because blueberry maggot pupae overwinter in the soil.
Bond deformation paths and electronic instabilities of ultraincompressible transition metal diborides: Case study of OsB2 and IrB2

[8] andothers, is widely accepted, but the experimentally determinedload-invariant hardnesses are typically below 30 GPa, i.e.,these materials are not superhard. Osmium diboride possesseshigh elastic moduli but a low hardness due to the presenceof Os-Os weak metallic bonds [9]. Rhenium diboride wasbelieved to be superhard [5], but its load-invariant hardness isalso less than 30 GPa because of electronic instabilities of 5
Perceptions of Nurses on Physician-Nurse Communications at Pediatric Intensive Care Unit

Effective communication between nurses and physicians is very important in facilitating improved patient care outcomes. The main aim of this study was to identify the perspectives of Pediatric Intensive Care Unit's nurses at referral hospital in Riyadh about Nurse-Physician communication. The researcher applied a Nurse-Physician Questionnaire for data collection with 55 nurses who works at Pediatric Intensive Care Unit nurses at King Abdul-Aziz Medical City in Riyadh. The entire questionnaire consists of 47 scales used to measure variables that affect relationships between nurses and physicians. All items of communication were analyzed using ANOVA test comparing the mean of agreement level of different communication domains with satisfaction level Results: Response rate for Pediatric Intensive Care Unit nurses was 75% with more than 50% of the particapted nurses were satisfied with their communication with physicians and only less than 20% were not satisified. The nurses were all females with more than 10 years of nursing experience, the majorities were expatriates and their ages ranged between 30 and 40 years old. Conclusion: It is concluded from the results that the majority of nurses who work in hospital intensive unit were satisfied with their communications with physicians who work at the same department, this important as this communication may enhance patients care as well as nursing retention at work. Addressing communication as part of the health care professional curriculum is also recommended in order to provide better care for patients.
Central African forests, carbon and climate change

The tropical forests of the world are receiving considerable attention in terms of their role in climate change. Not only does tropical land use change provide an important term in balanc- ing the global carbon budget, but tropical forests also present opportunities for carbon trading in the emerging carbon markets. The Congo Basin contains the second largest area of contiguous rainforest in the world, yet for various reasons has received relatively little attention in terms of these climate change issues. This paper provides an assessment of the current state of the forests of Central Africa, their carbon stock, recent rates of deforestation and a simple predictive model of forest change over the next 60 yr. The roles of agriculture and logging which are driving deforestation are discussed. The future of the forests, whether for commercial use, carbon trading or biodiversity is inextricably linked to how these valuable resources are managed. Suggestions are made for potential carbon trading projects, forest management strategies and a climate change research agenda for the region. Effective forest monitoring and management are seen as essential components for the economic development of this region.
Effect of Brand on Consumer Purchase Decision in the Mobile Telecommunications Industry

: The increased number of telecom service providers coupled with the introduction of mobile number portability has brought about increased competition for potential/prospective and existing telecom consumers. The objective of this study is to examine the effect of brand on purchase intention in the mobile telecommunications market or industry. The study adopted a quantitative approach. In all 100 respondents participated in the study. The study reveals that, although there are about six mobile telecommunications service providers in operation, customers do not explicitly observe any significant differences between them. The customers or respondents perceive all the mobile telecommunications service providers to be same, as far as, quality of service and service charges. Thus, the results of the study suggests that there are no unique brands in the mobile telecommunications industry of Ghana. Following from the above, the study also revealed that customers may not hesitate to switch if they feel that good quality services are being offered by any other service provider with relatively superior service quality. So it is the role of corporate brand to make minds of the customers about it especially in this industry to add new customers. It is evident from the analysis of the results of the study that service quality was a significant motivating factor for those consumers who switched between mobile telecommunications service providers.
