The Good Father: Parental Expectations and Youth Sports

Abstract Family life and expectations for parents have changed dramatically over the past two generations. In the United States these changes have been fuelled by a combination of factors, including a conservative emphasis on traditional family values and fathers as heads of households, a neo‐liberal emphasis on individualism and the need for fathers to take responsibility for the development of their children, a liberal feminist emphasis on gender equity in family life, and progressive ideas about the meaning of gender and sexuality. As a result of these factors mothers and fathers today are held responsible for the whereabouts and actions of their children 24 hours a day, seven days a week. This standard, never before used in any society as a baseline measure for good parenting, serves as a foundation for linking the character and achievements of children to the moral worth of parents. Because sports are activities in which a child’s success is visible and objectively measurable, and because fathers are more likely than mothers to have or claim expertise in sports, the development of athletic skills among children is often monitored by fathers who act as coaches, managers, agents, mentors, and advocates for their child athletes. Therefore, the involvement of fathers in youth sports is grounded in complex cultural changes and it has implications for families and father–child relationships. These implications are discussed in light of new expectations that connect the moral worth of parents to the success of their children.
Patterns of variability in Be/X-ray pulsars during giant outbursts

Context. The discovery of source states in the X-ray emission of black-hole binaries and neutron-star low-mass X-ray binaries constituted a major step forward in the understanding of the physics of accretion onto compact objects. While there are numerous studies on the correlated timing and spectral variability of these systems, very little work has been done on high-mass X-ray binaries, the third major type of X-ray binaries. Accretion-powered pulsars with Be companions represent the most numerous group of high-mass X-ray binaries. When active, they are amongst the brightest extra-solar objects in the X-ray sky and are characterised by dramatic variability in brightness on timescales of days. Aims. The main goal of this work is to investigate whether Be accreting X-ray pulsars display source states and characterise those states through their spectral and timing properties. Methods. We have made a systematic study of the power spectra, energy spectra and X-ray hardness-intensity diagrams of nine Be/X-ray pulsars. Energy spectra were fitted with an absorbed power-law modified by an exponential cutoff. Discrete components such as iron emission lines and cyclotron lines were represented by Gaussian and pseudo-Lorentzian profiles, respectively. Power spectra were fitted by a combination of Lorentzian functions. The evolution of the timing and spectral parameters were monitored through changes over two orders of magnitude in luminosity. Results. We find that Be/X-ray pulsars trace two different branches in the hardness-intensity diagram: the horizontal branch corresponds to a low-intensity state of the source and it is characterised by fast colour and spectral changes and high X-ray variability. The diagonal branch is a high-intensity state that emerges when the X-ray luminosity exceeds a critical limit. The photon index anticorrelates with X-ray flux in the horizontal branch but correlates with it in the diagonal branch. The correlation between quasi-periodic oscillation frequency and X-ray flux reported in some pulsars is also observed if the peak frequency of the broad-band noise that accounts for the aperiodic variability is used. In some sources, a significant correlation between spectral and timing parameters is seen, implying and interplay between the accretion column and the inner accretion disc. Conclusions. The two branches may reflect two different accretion modes, depending on whether the luminosity of the source is above or below a critical value. This critical luminosity is mainly determined by the magnetic field strength, hence it differs for different sources. In this work, the systems that display the two branches have critical luminosities in the range (1−4) × 1037 erg s−1.
Antiphospholipid syndrome in terms of cardiovascular surgery

Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is a rare syndrome mainly characterized by several hypercoagulation disorders. Clinical findings of this syndrome include arterial or venous thrombosis, recurrent pulmonary embolism, valve diseases, intracardiac thrombus formations, pulmonary hypertension, coronary artery disease, and dilated cardiomyopathy. A definitive diagnosis can be made in a patient with history of arterial or venous thrombosis or recurrent abortions and positive for anticardiolipin antibodies, anti-beta 2-glycoprotein-1 antibodies -also known as antiphospholipid antibodies- and/or lupus anticoagulants. The incidence of thrombosis is highest during the following periods: 1) preoperative period due to the withdrawal of warfarin; 2) postoperative period due to potential hypercoagulability despite warfarin or heparin therapy; and 3) postoperative period before the start of adequate anticoagulation treatment. Irregular thickening of the valve leaflets due to deposition of immune complexes may lead to vegetation and valve dysfunction. The most commonly affected valve is the mitral valve, followed by the aortic and tricuspid valves. Anticoagulation dosage should be adjusted carefully during cardiopulmonary bypass due to the high risk of thrombosis in patients with APS. Multidisciplinary approaches are needed to reduce risk of bleeding and thrombosis during peri- and postoperative periods by adequate anticoagulation adjustment. Further prospective studies are required on anticoagulation adjustments in patients with APS during cardiovascular surgery.
Nonlinear Adjustment of Emerging Stock Market Returns: Symmetrical or Asymmetrical

This study examines whether the nonlinear adjustment dynamic of stock returns to the equilibrium level in an emerging stock market is symmetrical or asymmetrical. The empirical results suggest that the data generating process of Iran stock returns series is nonlinear Smooth Transition Autoregressive (STAR) and dynamic adjustment of the stock returns to the long run equilibrium level is asymmetric. The adjustment mechanism of the Iran stock returns deviations from the equilibrium level are different in the bull and bear markets.

The Global Financial Crisis and Child Poverty: the Case of Australia 2006-2010

While events associated with the Global Financial Crisis (GFC) had a profound impact on real family incomes and wellbeing in many rich countries, impacts in Australia were relatively minor. One reason for this was the massive policy response by the Australian government at the outset of the GFC, which pumped billions of dollars into the pockets of low and middle income families. This paper examines the impact of this stimulus on child poverty in Australia in the context of longer term policies on income support for families with children. We show that the emphasis of longer term policy has been to moderate support for families with children and that since the mid 1990s, rates of relative child poverty have not fallen. We find that while the impact of the stimulus was to reduce child poverty, the underlying trajectory of policies towards family assistance and child poverty in Australia have not changed, and therefore there is no expectation that child poverty will continue to fall in the future. 1.

Observations of concentric ring clouds west of Australia

Some interesting cloud formations off the west coast of Western Australia on NOAA AVHRR and GMS-5 images are described. The cloud structures shown here are rare and may be related to the 'Morning Glory' phenomenon. This Letter provides an observational study of these clouds which we are calling 'Concentric Ring Clouds'. A plausible mechanism for their generation is presented in terms of anomalous latent heat release, thunderstorm downdraught and outflow causing wave propagation in a low-level wave guide.
A cross-sectional sero-survey of some infectious diseases of working equids in Central Ethiopia

Despite the large numbers of working equids and their significant contribution towards communities as well as the national economy, the attention given to study the health and welfare problems of working equids in Ethiopia is quite minimal. The main objective of this study was to investigate the seroprevalence of some important infectious diseases infecting working equids and asses their spatial distribution in the different agro-ecological zones of Ethiopia. Sera collected from 1007 equids selected by simple random sampling technique were tested using the Office Internationale des Epizootic (OIE) approved serological tests. The overall sero-prevalence for all equids were 10.5% (n=288) for African horse sickness (AHS), 0.7% (n=997) for Dourine, 3.8% (n=982) for Glanders, 0.1% (n=1002) for equine infectious anaemia (EIA), 13.5% (n=208) for equine herpes virus 1 (EHV-1), 88% (n=208) for equine herpes virus 4 (EHV-4) and 65% (n=20) for Piroplasmosis. Significant interspecies (P=0.001) and spatial (P=0.01) variations were observed for AHS, Glanders, Dourine and EHV-1. However, the age and sex of the animals had no significant effect on the prevalence of the tested diseases. Infection of equids with more than one infectious disease was diagnosed. Out of the 208 equids tested for herpes, 11.1% were sero-positive for both EHV-1 and EHV-4. Co-infections of AHS and EHV-1 (1%), AHS and EHV-4 (4%), Glanders and EHV-1 (2%) and Glander and EHV-4 (7.7%) were also observed. This study has shown not only the high prevalence of some of the infectious diseases in the equine population but their wide distribution across the different agro-ecological zones of the central regions of Ethiopia.
Codistributive Interpretations in Korean *

In this study, I have focused on codistributivity, i.e., distributivity between two plural terms, in Korean and argued that Korean shows different distributive preferences with respect to predicate categories. In order to account for the distinct preferences, I have critically reviewed three current theories about codistributivity and concluded that Brisson (2003) is the most promising. To deal with diverse distributive readings, I have recast Brisson's idea in the framework of a multi-layered event structure as discussed by Bach (1986) and Link (1987), and proposed the Economy Principle on the event structure.
The Relationship between Mobile Cellphone Dependency, Mental Health and Academic Achievement

Introduction and background: investigating mobile cellphone addiction among students regarding to increasing mobile use among them is necessary. We should examine vary psychological and academic aspects. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the relationship between Mobile cellphone dependency, mental health and academic achievement in students. Materials and Methods: The outline of this research in terms of data collection methods are descriptive and correlational studies. The population in this study consisted of all male and female high school students in Kermanshah in 2014-2015 school year. 340 students (182 females and 158 males) were selected by simple random sampling and questionnaire responded dependence 8on mobile phone and a list of 25 symptoms. The mean scores for the second term were considered as an indicator of academic achievement. For data analysis, Pearson correlation and stepwise regression were used. Results: The results showed that the mobile dependence and have a significant relationship deprivation tolerance, life dysfunction, compulsion-persistence and mental health with academic achievement. Multiple regression analysis showed that the components of the life dysfunction, compulsion-persistence, and deprivation tolerance predicted 23.9% of changes in academic achievement. Also, life dysfunction, compulsion-persistence, and deprivation tolerance predicted 20.1% of mental health changes. Conclusion: Students who are more dependent on mobile experience more psychopathology, academic failure in their lifetime.
Symmetry Reductions of Second Heavenly Equation and 2+1-Dimensional Hamiltonian Integrable Systems

Abstract Second heavenly equation of Plebañski, presented in a two-component form, is known to be a 3 + 1-dimensional multi-Hamiltonian integrable system. We show that one symmetry reduction of this equation yields a two component 2 + 1-dimensionalmulti-Hamiltonian integrable system. For this system, we present Hamiltonian and recursion operators, point symmetries and integrals of motion. For another symmetry reduction, the reduced system is ”almost bi-Hamiltonian”, with two known Hamiltonian operators but the second Hamiltonian density missing.
Performance of the SCUBA-2 dilution refrigerator

SCUBA-2 is a new wide-field submillimeter continuum instrument being commissioned on the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope on Mauna Kea in Hawaii. SCUBA-2 images simultaneously at 450 and 850 μm using large-scale arrays of superconducting bolometers, with over five thousand pixels at each wavelength. The arrays are cooled to less than 100 mK by the mixing chamber of a dilution refrigerator (DR), with a radiation shield at a nominal temperature of 1 K cooled by the DR still. The DR is a "dry" system, using a pulse tube cooler for precooling of the circulating helium in place of a liquid helium bath. This paper presents key performance data for the DR.
Population Genetics of the Violet Vinegar Crab (Episesarma versicolor) Along the Andaman Sea Coast of Thailand

Episesarma versicolor is an important commercial fishery product in Southeast Asia. In Thailand, this species is currently being overexploited. In order to provide necessary information for constructing a species management plan, we performed a population genetic analysis of this species living on the Andaman Sea coast of Thailand. Intraspecific variation was determined from complete sequences of the mitochondrial (mt) DNA control region (CR) with a size of 790-798 bp. MtDNA CR sequences of 72 individuals from 5 west coastal areas of southern Thailand, including Satun, Trang, Krabi, Phang Nga, and Ranong, were analyzed. In total, 62 haplotypes with 58 rare haplotypes were identified. Estimated values of haplotype and nucleotide diversities were 0.978 and 0.007, respectively. Neutrality tests (Tajima's D and Fu's FS statistics) showed that Andaman populations of E. versicolor had experienced expansion. However, the analysis of mismatch distribution rejected the sudden expansion model, corresponding to the results of the raggedness indices test and the complex network topology of a minimum spanning network (MSN). The MSN showed 2 major lineages including clade I, a common lineage of E. versicolor living on the Andaman coast, and clade II, a Krabi-specific lineage. Estimated values of τ, q 0, and q 1, and the MSN topology revealed the direction of expansion as northward along the Andaman coast. The approximate time of the expansion was 10,000 yr ago which was during the post late-glacial period of the Holocene Epoch. An AMOVA analysis showed that most of the genetic variation was due to variations within populations. It also showed a lack of variation among populations. The analysis of pairwise differences (FST) also showed no statistically significant difference between all possible regional combinations. Based on these results, an absence of a population structure of E. versicolor on the Andaman Sea coast was possibly caused either by a high level of gene flow due to the high dispersal ability of this species or expansion experienced throughout its demographic history. Both the historical demography and genetic features of E. versicolor on the Andaman Sea coast revealed by this study are necessary information contributing to efficient strategies to conserve this species in Thailand.
Staying away from the bar: the local dynamical signature of slow and fast bars in the Milky Way

Both the three-dimensional density of red clump giants and the gas kinematics in the inner Galaxy indicate that the pattern speed of the Galactic bar could be much lower than previously estimated. Here, we show that such slow bar models are unable to reproduce the bimodality observed in local stellar velocity space. We do so by computing the response of stars in the Solar neighbourhood to the gravitational potential of slow and fast bars, in terms of their perturbed distribution function in action-angle space up to second order, as well as by identifying resonantly trapped orbits. We also check that the bimodality is unlikely to be produced through perturbations from spiral arms, and conclude that, contrary to gas kinematics, local stellar kinematics still favour a fast bar in the Milky Way, with a pattern speed of the order of almost twice (and no less than 1.8 times) the circular frequency at the Sun's position. This leaves open the question of the nature of the long flat extension of the bar in the Milky Way.
A New Pseudo-random Pulse Sequences Aided Noise Suppression Scheme for UWB Transmitted Reference Communication System

Summary Recently Ultra-wideband (UWB) transmitted reference (TR) system has drawn considerable attention in many wireless sensor network location applications due to its low complexity. Its major drawback is serious performance degradation for a very noisy correlation template. In this paper, a new noise suppression scheme for UWB-TR communication system is presented by replacing the repetitive reference pulses with multiple short pseudo-random reference pulse sequences. The receiver uses them to estimate the channel impulse response and based on this to form an improved template which removes the parts mainly consist of noise and gives the multipath components that have better signal-to-noise ratio higher weights. The proposed system is described and its performance in a multipath channel is analyzed and simulated. The result shows that this scheme can effectively suppress a template’s noise level and the proposed system has a better bit-error-ratio performance than that of a conventional averaged TR system.
The legal needs of people with different types of chronic illness

Consistent with overseas research, Justice made to measure: NSW Legal Needs Survey in disadvantaged areas reported that people with a chronic illness or disability are particularly vulnerable to experiencing legal problems and have diffi culty resolving these problems. However, ‘chronic illness or disability’ constitutes a diverse range of conditions and very little research to date has compared and contrasted the legal needs of people with different types of illness or disability. Using data from the NSW Legal Needs Survey, this paper compares people with different types of chronic illness or disability on their incidence of legal problems, their rates of taking action in response to these problems and their resolution rates.
IMPROVING THE ACCURACY OF TEXT DOCUMENT CLUSTERING BASED ON SYNGRAM ALGORITHM ABDUL HALIM BIN OMAR A thesis submitted in fulfillment of the requirement for the award of the Degree of Master of Information Technology

In most of the literature, Vector Space Model (VSM) represents text document by the frequencies of terms occurred inside the document. In general, the relationship between terms that appear in text document has been ignored by VSM. As a result, two major limitations of term relationship are treated as single and independent entities. The limitation of both concepts, such as Polysemy and Synonymy are definitely significant in determining the content of text document. To overcome both limitations, this study has proposed a combination of WordNet and N-grams named as Syngram algorithm. WordNet is selected as a lookup database to obtain synonym concepts. The capabilities of both concepts are introduced to overcome the Synonymy limitation in text documents into sequences of synonym sets. In the second approach, N-grams have been used in language modeler to construct the term consecutive. This study exploited N-grams to defy Polysemy limitation by altering text features into chunks of terms. The transformation of frequent single term to frequent concept has been proven to improve the accuracy of the text document clustering. An experiment was conducted on reuters50_50 dataset with 10 classes of author names and the performance is compared with existing algorithms. The experiment results showed that the proposed algorithm (65.6%) outperformed the existing algorithm VSM (55.4%), N-grams (53.2%) and WordNet (59%).
Effects of a Ten Week Training Programme on Repeated Short Sprints among Football Referees of Malaysia

The objective of this study was to investigate whether a ten week training programme would improve repeated short sprints of football referees in Malaysia. Sixty national football referees were randomly assigned into 3 groups (n=20) namely the control group, experimental one and experimental two. Experimental one followed a 10 week training programme (duration of training 4 days in a week, each session=90 minutes and time 5 pm) supervised by a physical education lecturer and his assistants. Experimental two reported for training at a different venue and trained on their own (duration, frequency and time as for experimental one). Pre-test and post-test results were used to determine whether there was an improvement. SPANOVA results rejected the null hypothesis [F (2, 57) =75.86 p<0.05]. Pillai’s Trace indicated there was a significant difference between pre-test and post-test results and significant interaction effect. Tukey Pair Wise Comparison indicated best performance by experimental one and the control group the poorest. The results indicated that the training programme was acceptable.
FORMULATION AND EVALUATION THE NEMATICIDAL ACTIVITY OF CERTAIN PLANT OILS AGAINST CITRUS NEMATODE Tylenculus semi-penetrans

Four plant oils namely Barka, Sesam, Garlic and Almond were prepared as emulsifiable concentrate (EC). Polyethylene glycol 600 dioleate (PEG 600 DO), Toximol R and Toximol H were used as emulsifiers while xylene and toluene used as solvents. Four formulations only passed successfully (F1, D2, C3 and E5) in thePhysico-chemical properties according to the standards of WHO. The results indicated that the successful prepared formulations showed different degrees of effectiveness against second stage juveniles of Tylenculus semipenetrans under laboratory conditions. Second stage juveniles seem as paralyze at 24 hrs, whereas this effect disappears completely after 72 hrs in case of Almond and Barka. On the other hand, the effect of Sesam and Garlic showed a slight effect at 24 hrs and increased gradually to give highly effectiveness after 72 hours. According to EC50 values at 72 hrs, Garlic was more effective than Sesam. The respective EC50 values were 0.6 and 2 mg/ml. These results emphasized the promising effect of certain plant oil formulations including Garlic and Sesam oil against pathogenic nematode, and that such formulation might be used for nematode control in small areas, as gardens and plant nursery.
