The Past as a Strategic Branding Resource: A Case Study of Jay Chou, a Successful Chinese Music Artist

We explore a Chinese-styled aesthetic representational branding process, illuminating potential insights into interconnections between art, branding, and consumption in conjunction with processes of aesthetic representation. Interviews with Chinese entrepreneurs reveal concern around Chinese brands’ internationalization, particularly concerning retail strategy. Chinese export brands lack privileged positions in competition with prominent global brands. This paper sheds light on Chinese resources to address these needs by presenting the case of Jay Chou, a prominent Chinese music artist. As Eckhardt and Bengtsson (2007) suggest in the Chinese case it may be productive to engage the past as a strategic brand-signifying practice in a contemporary marketing regime. We investigate permutations of Chinese culture and ideology by linking consumer research and the production and consumption of images with Chinese traditions and artistic conventions of aural and visual perceptions. Thus, cultural issues around Chinese historical and traditional arts are brought into contemporary consumer research.
An UHF-Band wireless power transfer system for structural health monitoring sensor network

For detecting and measuring health conditions of bridges, wireless sensor networks are used in these days. However, battery life is critically restricting the application and maintenance cost of sensor network systems. To extend life time, a wireless power transfer system at UHF band is introduced to supply the current wireless sensor network. This power transfer system is based on electric wave at 950MHz.This power transfer system is redesigned for tiny power transmission, including a combination of a rectenna and a Cockcroft-Walton boost converter, battery board, and a control board. Also, current wireless sensor network is redesigned for power transfer system. The working flow of sensor network is modified to bottom-to-top to save power of sensor modules which are the power bottleneck of this sensor system. As a result, the system is able to support a sensor module continuously with received power of −14 dBmW, when the transmitting antenna is 30 dBmW at 10 meters distance.
A computational strategy suitable for multiphysics problems

Multiphysics phenomena and coupled-field problems usually lead to computationally intensive structural analyses. Strategies to keep these problems computationally affordable are of special interest. For coupled fluid-structure problems for instance, partitioned procedures and staggered algorithms are often preferred to direct analysis (also called the monolithic approach), from a computational efficiency point of view. Recently, a mixed domain decomposition method has been designed for parallel computing environments, and a multi-level pproach embedding a homogenization procedure makes it suitable for highlyheterogeneous problems. From the generalization of the concept of geometric interfaces between substructures to an interface between different physics, the Large Time INcrement method (LATIN) allows building an approach suited for solving coupled multiphysics problems. The proposed application concerns the consolidation of porous saturated soil, i.e. a coupled fluid-solid problem in the domain. The feasability of the method and its performance comparison with a standard partitioning scheme (the so-called ISPP) has been presented in a previous paper. As an improvement, the further step is to take into account different time scales arising from multiphysics problem. Thus, the present paper proposes a time multiscale strategy.
HIV prevention needs assessment of men who have sex with men (MSM)

In 2011 NHS GGC and NHS Lothian began a process of review of their HIV prevention work aimed at MSM. Both Health Boards had developed and delivered HIV prevention interventions based on current evidence and local need for almost a decade, however, despite some significant success in increasing HIV testing rates and reducing the proportion of undiagnosed HIV infection among MSM, both Health Boards had failed to see a reduction in new HIV infections amongst MSM. Both Boards had also witnessed rises in risk behaviours reported by MSM over the last decade, specifically reports of unprotected anal intercourse (UAI). Although there was a good understanding of the types of interventions that were likely to have a positive effect on reducing HIV transmission from the published literature, there were considerable gaps in knowledge around how to effectively deliver these interventions in a Scottish context. It was therefore agreed that there was a need to increase understanding of the demographics and behaviours of high risk MSM and to use this knowledge to inform the development of effective targeted HIV prevention interventions. It was agreed that this could best be delivered jointly across both NHS GGC and NHS Lothian. The Scottish Government provided additional funds to support this project

The Impact of Preceptorships on Baccalaureate Nursing Students' Perceptions of Caring

The purpose of this quantitative study was to examine how time spent in a preceptorship experience changed senior-level nursing students' perception of caring. In addition, different types of clinical units and preceptors were explored as a means to change caring perceptions of students. Caring perceptions were measured using the Caring Dimensions Inventory. A significant relationship was found between the years of experience of the nurse preceptors and students' perception of care. The results of the study demonstrated that nursing preceptorships can play an integral role in providing care ethics education within the nursing curriculum.
Pelvic fractures in the dog and cat: a classification system and review of 556 cases

Summary A system for the classification of pelvic fractures in small animals is described. The system is based on a review of 556 cases and adapted from the AO/ASIF classification system for fractures of long bones in humans and small animals. A coding method was created to encompass the multiple sites in pelvic fractures, and associate fracture location and morphology with complexity of therapy and prognosis. The classification is based on criteria derived from standard radiographs and well-defined in a glossary of terms. Illustrations of fracture configurations given by the codes facilitate the designation of codes to cases. This article introduces the classification system and reports the findings when applied to 556 cases of pelvic fractures.
Brain Injury Rehabilitation -A Step Ahead

Brain injury is a major health problem in civilian, military, and veteran populations. Individuals experiencing moderate to severe brain injury require a continuum of care involving acute hospitalization and rehabilitation, including community reintegration and, one would hope, a return home to function as a productive member of the community. This article discusses on the easily available and free apps that can stimulate the brain and hence recommended as a part of Brain injury rehabilitation.
Recent and Future Activities of the ICNIRP

The International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) is a non-governmental organisation in the field of non-ionising radiation (NIR) protection, formally recognised by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the International Labour Office. ICNIRP maintains a close liaison and working relationship with other international bodies engaged in the field of NIR. The scope of activities includes giving guidance for the protection of workers, members of the public, patients and the environment. Based on the scientific data collected in Environmental Health Criteria documents of the WHO and a critical in-depth evaluation of the established scientific literature ICNIRP develops international guidelines on limits of exposure to NIR. Recently, ICNIRP decided to extend its expertise by installing three standing committees (SC) consisting of internationally recognised specialists. These SCs cover the fields of epidemiology, biology, and physics and technology. The SCs will also facilitate the collaboration of ICNIRP in the international EMF project of WHO. A first step within this project is the organisation of several international seminars evaluating the status quo of our knowledge related to health risks of EMF, the identification of gaps in knowledge and research priorities. Other activities of ICNIRP include: limits of exposure to visible and infrared radiation, application of a Global Solar UV-Index, safety of mobile telephones and base transmitters, limits of exposure to electromagnetic fields (up to 300 GHz), and development of a general system of protection against NIR. Some priorities of these activities are discussed.
Digital Painting: The Trouble-Free Appearance of Virtual Thought and Pretends

The intention to create traditional painting and illustration of one’s imagination need time and hues materials. Now a day we got terrific technological support that could be helps us as time and expense saver. A rising art appearance as digital painting is functional by means of a computer, a digitizing tablet, stylus, and software in which traditional painting techniques are become easy to work as expressive way. This study investigated the extent to which digital painting is more suitable with respect to time, cost and labor. Several paintings were created manually using pencil, color in the first stage and then produced the same painting digitally. It was found that the digital painting has several advantages over the manual painting such as manipulation, color combination, and other aesthetic sense. This approach is easy to implement an artist’s imagination and virtual thought.

HIV/AIDS in Uganda

The first AIDS cases in Uganda were identified in 1982. HSS began in 1985 in Kampala among women attending ANCs. Overall HIV prevalence increased rapidly through the 1980s and early 1990s. Since the mid-1990s overall HIV prevalence among ANCs attendees has been declining. The most consistent HIV prevalence declines are among the youngest age groups. HIV prevalence appears to be declining in major urban areas and stabilizing in rural areas. The findings from the 2001 HSS indicated that among women attending ANCs overall HIV prevalence was 6.5 percent an increase from 6.1 percent in 2000. ANC prevalence in urban areas was 8.8 percent and 4.2 percent in rural areas. According to the MOH the increase in ANC prevalence was not statistically significant. Most new HIV infections (84 percent) in Uganda occur through heterosexual transmission. MTCT accounts for about 15 percent of cases. Unsafe blood/blood products account for up to 5 percent of all HIV cases. The portion of HIV transmission attributable to MSM and IDU is not known. In December 2001 1.05 million Ugandans were living with HIV/AIDS. Among them 945500 were adults of whom 56.3 percent were women. Nearly 80 percent of those infected with HIV were between ages 15-45. Since the beginning of the epidemic through 2001 2 million Ugandan children had been orphaned by AIDS. Among reported AIDS cases through December 2001 92.6 percent were adults. The overall mean age for adults with AIDS was 30.9 years; for men this figure was 33.0 for women 29.1. AIDS is responsible for 12 percent of annual deaths and is the leading cause of death among those ages 15-49. By 2000 there had been 1.3 million AIDS deaths in Uganda. (excerpt)
Foot, Mouth and Ear

Using work done by the poet Douglas Oliver in Poetry and Narrative in Performance on the ways in which any reading ‘performs’ poetry, this essay opens up a meditation on the poetic foot and its entailment in bodily repetitions and established performance behaviours. Oliver's motivating interest in the relation of beat and flow and the importance of this relationship to a phenomenology of time are revisited and suggest the need to distinguish beat from foot. The characteristics of a poetic foot are sketched. A very simple marching chant – ‘Left, left, left-right, left …’ – chosen because of its significance for a particular mode of repetitive foot-movement – provides the central example for this first part of the argument. The constituent sounds and their groupings into a ‘line’ are considered in some detail, with the help of a spectrogram taken from an example of the chant. Etymologies of some of other terms used to designate parts in poetry such as verse, stanza and strophe are briefly considered as part of a speculation that, since a strophe originally named a movement in one direction across the performance space, it is plausible to speculate that foot designated a single step within that movement. The final section of the essay considers some of the implications for poetry reading – whether aloud or silent – of the term performance: within a typology of performance modes, what is specific to reading of poems which are not designed for theatricalised recitation. In this form of reading the material (written) text is usually manifestly present and it is as though the performer is attempting to relay a hearing, perhaps based in syllables, of this otherwise mute script.
PULMONARY HYPERTENSION --- PROBLEMS AND MANAGEMENT IN PEADIATRIC CARDIAC SURGICAL PATIENTS

INTRODUCTION Pulmonary hypertension is a common occurrence in many congenital heart diseases and the status of the pulmonary vascular bed is the major determinant of clinical manifestations, course, feasibility and outcome of corrective surgery. The prognosis of pulmonary hypertension depends mostly on its cause and the stage of pulmonary vascular disease the child is having at the time of diagnosis. However it is unclear why one child behaves differently from another with what seem to be the same degree of pulmonary hypertension. Despite this, with better insight into pathophysiology and introduction of newer vasodilator, management of these patients has significantly improved over past decades.
Body Composition differences in elite young soccer players based on playing position

ABSTRACT The purposes of this study were to compare anthropometric and body compositions (BC) parameters and to identify morphological asymmetries related to the playing position in 104 elite youth soccer players. The following parameters were measured by whole-body bioelectrical impedance analysis: Body Height (BH), Body Mass (BM), Lean Body Mass (LBM), relative Lean Body Mass (LBMr), percentage of Fat Mass (FM), the ratio of Extra Cellular Mass to Body Cell Mass (ECM/BCM), segmental proportion of muscle mass in upper extremities, trunk, lower extremities and percentage differences between the upper (ΔUE) and lower (ΔLE) extremities. The criterion of “playing position” had a significant effect on all of the screened variables except ECM/BCM, FM, LBMr, and ΔUE (p>0.05). There was detected significant differences in ΔLE with respect to playing positions (F(5.98) = 6.53, p<0.01, ç2 = 0.25). Research has shown differences between anthropometric indicators and BC variables in players of different playing positions.
TCM, TTCM, BICM and iterative BICM assisted OFDM-based digital video broadcasting to mobile receivers

The performance of trellis coded modulation (TCM), bit-interleaved coded modulation (BICM), BICM with iterative decoding (BICM-ID) and turbo trellis coded modulation (TTCM) is studied in comparison to the pan-European terrestrial digital video broadcasting (DVB) system. The decoding complexity and bandwidth efficiency trade-offs of the various systems under study are quantified.
Body Composition Analysis of University Students by Anthropometry and Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis

Background: Worldwide, at least 2.8 million people die each year as a result of being overweight or obese, and 35.8 million (2.3%) of global DALYs are caused by overweight or obesity. Obesity is acknowledged as one of the burning public health problems reducing life expectancy and quality of life. The body composition analysis of the university population is essential in assessing the nutritional status, as well as the risk of developing diseases associated with abnormal body fat content so as to make nutritional recommendations. Objectives: The main aim was to determine the prevalence of obesity and overweight in University students using Anthropometric analysis and BIA methods. Material and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 283 university students participated. The body composition analysis was undertaken by using mainly: i) Anthropometric Measurement: Height, Weight, BMI, waist circumference, hip circumference and skin fold thickness, ii) Bioelectrical impedance was used for analysis of body fat mass, fat percent and visceral fat which was measured by Tanita SC-330P Professional Body Composition Analyzer. The data so collected were compiled in MS Excel and analyzed for males and females using SPSS 16. Results and Discussion: The mean age of the male (n= 153) studied subjects was 25.37 ±2.39 years and females (n=130) was 22.53 ±2.31. The data of BIA revealed very high mean fat per cent of the female subjects i.e. 30.3±6.5 per cent whereas mean fat per cent of the male subjects was 15.60±6.02 per cent indicating a normal body fat range. The findings showed high visceral fat of both males (12.92±3.02) and females (16.86±4.98). BMI, BF% and WHR were higher among females, and BMI was higher among males. The most evident correlation was verified between BF% and WHR for female students (r=0.902; p<0.001). The correlation of BFM and BF% with thickness of triceps, sub scapular and abdominal skin folds and BMI was significant (P<0.001). Conclusion: The studied data made it obvious that there is a need to initiate lifestyle changing strategies especially for adult females and encourage them to improve their dietary intake to prevent incidence of non-communicable diseases due to obesity and high fat percentage. Keywords—Anthropometry, bioelectrical impedance, body fat percentage, obesity.
Tarsos: automated tone scale extraction applied to African oral music traditions

At first sight, pitch organization in music seems to rely on well-defined rules. For Western music this is indeed the case. These rules were established over time. A framework for music theory and notation became a practical necessity for compositional needs and for music practice. Tuning in an equal temperament was needed for music that began to include modulations within a piece. Nowadays almost all Western music relies on this tuning, which divides the octave in 12 equal parts. In non-Western classical music the pitch organization often leans on a theoretical system with a very different approach than the Western equal temperament. One striking difference is that not all pitch intervals have an equal size, e.g. the seven tone gamelan pélog scale. Oral music traditions have no well-established, written music theory to fall back on. The freedom created by the smaller impact of music theory defines the characteristics of the music itself: e.g. lesser harmonic impact, instruments with varying tuning and no harmonic modulation. The authenticity of these oral music cultures is fragile. The influence of western music imported by colonization, missionary expeditions, trade, mass-media is undeniable. It has e.g. been proven that the scales of oral cultures in Africa are rapidly becoming more similar to the Western equal temperament[4].
Allele Imputation and Haplotype Determination from Databases Composed of Nuclear Families

The alleHap package is designed for imputing genetic missing data and reconstruct nonrecombinant haplotypes from pedigree databases in a deterministic way. When genotypes of related individuals are available in a number of linked genetic markers, the program starts by identifying haplotypes compatible with the observed genotypes in those markers without missing values. If haplotypes are identified in parents or offspring, missing alleles can be imputed in subjects containing missing values. Several scenarios are analyzed: family completely genotyped, children partially genotyped and parents completely genotyped, children fully genotyped and parents containing entirely or partially missing genotypes, and founders and their offspring both only partially genotyped. The alleHap package also has a function to simulate pedigrees including all these scenarios. This article describes in detail how our package works for the desired applications, including illustrated explanations and easily reproducible examples.
Expanding access to Medication Assisted Treatment: The U.S. government’s response to the current heroin epidemic

ABSTRACT The rates of heroin addiction and opiate overdoses have skyrocketed in America in the last decade. The government’s response is to expand the availability of Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT). Because social workers can be expected to be a significant component of the workforce in providing MAT, MAT is relevant to social workers. Many social workers who are working in the area of addictions, particularly those engaged in 12 Step programs, do not hold favorable views of MAT. This article considers their objections and evaluates the validity of the basis for these objections. The rationale for the government’s approach is provided, and validity of the rationale for the MAT approach is evaluated. The “pros” and “cons” of methadone and buprenorphine are reviewed. The wisdom of the expansion of MAT for the individuals with addiction and the society is considered.
Detection Method for Fabric Texture Direction Based on Wavelet Transform

It is an important but time-consuming job to recognize and analyze the fabric weave patterns and texture parameters correctly. A novel approach used image processing technology is proposed for detecting fabric texture directions and recognizing weave patterns. Since wavelet transform is suited for fabric image decomposition and Radon transform is fit for line detection in fabric texture, their excellent performances are put together to figure out line detection in fabric texture and weave pattern. The correlative experimental results show that the method can obtain the accurate measurement, and provide effective foundation for recognizing basic fabric weaves.
