Benefits of Substance Use Disorder Screening on Employment Outcomes in State–Federal Vocational Rehabilitation Programs

We evaluated benefits of substance use disorder (SUD) screening on employment outcomes of state vocational rehabilitation (VR) consumers in Illinois, Ohio, West Virginia, Kentucky, and Utah. Across states, 9,681 screeners matched RSA-911 records with closure status. Positive SUD screening rates ranged from 21.2% in Illinois to 50.4% in Utah. While findings varied by state, screening can improve successful employment rates. Systemwide SUD screening may be most beneficial in states that are effective in addressing SUD. Effective states serve a higher percentage of consumers with SUD diagnoses, and have employment rates that meet or exceed states with fewer consumers with SUD, indicating that SUD success rates approximate those of consumers with other disabilities. Even in states with low SUD diagnoses rates, above 20% of screened consumers had suspected SUD. We replicated findings suggesting that persons with SUD can transition successfully to employment, and at lower cost and shorter time than consumers with other conditions. We found discrepancies in all states between SUD screening results and official diagnoses. Persons with a diagnosis of SUD were somewhat more likely to achieve an employment outcome than persons who screened SUD positive without a diagnosis. We provide suggestions for VR policy and future research directions.
Effectiveness of Concept Mapping Strategy on Physical Science Learning

In educational psychology, helping students in the teaching-learning process to make a meaningful learning experience is an important issue. In case of teaching a new concept it should always start with the presentation of an advance organizer which helps learner in conceptualizing how the new knowledge appropriates with the broader framework. Thus, concept mapping is the best option to construct knowledge in a structural process. The present study was carried out to investigate how far concept mapping strategy has significant effect on student achievement in physical science learning in comparison to the demonstration strategy at secondary level. True experimental design of randomized Solomon four equivalent groups design was applied in this study. Sample of the study consisted of 41 (20 experimental group and 21 controlled group) class IX students from one co-ed school of Howrah district. Experimental group was taught through concept mapping strategy and the controlled group was taught through demonstration strategy. Mixed type group test of intelligence (MGTI) by Dr. P.N. Mehrotra (2008) was used to match the groups. Achievement test in physical science (developed and standardized by the researcher) was used as tool for data collection. Descriptive statistics were applied for data analysis. Inferential statistics like “t” test and ANOVA were also applied to find out the results and inferences. Data was tabulated and analyzed by Excel and SPSS software technique in both. The result of the study showed that there was no significant deference present in gain score achievement (p>0.05) in physical science of class IX students of the experimental and control group.

The Effect of Working Experience, Integrity, Competence, and Organizational Commitment on Audit Quality (Survey State Owned Companies In Libya)

External There search objectives are to seek empirical evidence about the influence of personal characteristics of the auditor to the audit quality. The population in this study is the auditor who worked on owned companies in Libya. The data used in this research is the primary data. For the analysis used validity and reliability test as instrument test. This research used regression analysis and for hypothesis test used F test and t test. From the result of the research showed that work experience, integrity, competence and commitment to organizational has significant influence to audit quality. Work experience has the biggest value of arithmetic and beta coefficient. Hence, the Integrity variable has the strongest influence instead of another variables so that variable Work experience has a dominant influence toward quality of audit results.
Optimization Studies of Microbial Proteases Extracted from Effectual Extremophilic Isolates Screened from Mangrove Swamps

Marshy mangrove areas of Goa, India are rich inhabitants of Halophilic bacteria known for their lofty salt tolerant capacity. These halophilic microorganisms are loaded with variety of Proteases having potential applications in numerous biotechnology and industrial fields. The plethora of Proteases affianced in them is largely unknown because of mangrove’s enclosed ecosystem. The present study is an attempt to isolate potent microorganisms from mangrove region of Goa for some neoteric proteolytic enzymes. Twenty bacterial isolates B1-B20 were screened for their proteolytic activity; however, B2 and B3 isolates manifested persuasive extracellular Protease activity on skimmed milk agar plates. 16S rRNA sequence analysis further ensued that twenty isolates were related to Bacillus sp. The cell free extract was used to study the effects of temperature and pH on Protease activity. Optimization studies revealed that the optimum temperature and pH for enzyme activity were 60oC and 7.0 respectively. Comparison with other Proteases from different microbial sources indicated that the neutral Protease producing halotolerant cultivable marine isolates in the marshy areas of Mangrove forests of Goa are engraved with Proteases with high thermostability.
5. Fingerprint Profile of an important therapeutic plant of Astavarga Crepidium acuminatum (D. Don) Szlach by HPTLC

Nature is crucial source of drugs. Plants have played important role in identifying important drugs and are basis of various modern pharmaceuticals. Therefore ethnomedicinal plants must be exploited to identify lead compounds. C. acuminatum is an important plant of Astavarga (combination of 8 drugs, most commonly used in Ayurveda) C. acuminatum is used in breathing disorders, burning sensation, cough, decrease in bone tissue, bleeding disorders, blood disorders, tuberculosis, insect bites and rheumatism. It is refrigerant, febrifuge and aphrodisiac. It is utilized as tonic and in general debility. HPTLC is a valuable analytical tool for the investigation of herbal products and drugs. Hence, HPTLC Fingerprint profile has been developed for this plant. Objective: The present study was aimed to develop the fingerprint profile by HPTLC of Crepidium acuminatum (D. Don) Szlach. Materials and Methods: HPTLC System (CAMAG, Switzerland), equipped with linomat 5 applicator, development chamber, scanner, derivatizer, vision Cats software, was used. The plate was scanned at 580 nm using Tungsten lamp and images were captured at visible light, UV 254 nm and UV 366 nm. Results: HPTLC method for separation of phytoconstituents using different solvent system has been developed for C. acuminatum. The study revealed the presence of 2 saponins, 3 bitter principles, 2 steroids, 2 Sterols, 2 essential oils, 1 anthraquinones, 2 coumarin and 5 flavonoids in methanol extract of pseudobulbs of this plant.

It will also help in identification and quantification of active/ marker compounds. By isolating and identifying marker compounds, new drugs can be formulated to treat various diseases.
OntoBellini: Towards an RDA Based Ontology for Vincenzo Bellini's Cultural Heritage

The rich cultural heritage preserved in the Belliniano Civic Museum of Catania has been studied and promoted in the last years mainly thanks to the BellinInRete project. It includes collections of objects (or resources) of a very different nature: paintings, photos, pianos, autograph scores, manuscript leaves, books preserved in the Museum’s library, etc. In order to make the Belliniano Museum’s heritage interoperable and reusable by scholars and cultural operators, we propose to semantically organize it in a unique homogeneous container, the OntoBellini ontology, designed and developed according to the Linked Open Data and Semantic Web paradigms. The wide variety of the involved museum resources, not even fully digitalised and catalogued, led us to the idea of experimenting with the RDA (Resource Description and Access) standard for creating library and cultural heritage resource metadata. In this paper we describe the ongoing work towards the realization of the OntoBellini ontology.
DEFENSE EQUAL OPPORTUNITY MANAGEMENT INSTITUTE DIRECTORATE OF RESEARCH EO Fairness Effects on Job Satisfaction, Organizational Commitment, and Perceived Work Group Effectiveness: Does Race or Gender Make a Difference?

A theoretical model investigated by McIntyre, Bartle, Landis, and Dansby (2001) indicated that equal opportunity fairness (EOF) attitudes have significant impact on perceived work group effectiveness, job satisfaction, and, ultimately, organizational commitment. This model was developed and examined with heterogeneous military samples of 5,000 by means of structural equation modeling (SEM). The purpose of the present study is to determine the degree to which the McIntyre et al., model is consistent (invariant) across four large sociocultural groups within the military: enlisted AfricanAmerican and Caucasian men and women. Four pairs of samples consisting of 5,000 observations each were examined through SEM multiple-group analyses. Technically, results indicated that the model was noninvariant (i.e. inconsistent) across the four groups. However, through a series of post hoc analyses, it became evident that for practical purposes, the model can be considered invariant. Discussion focused on the contrast of the technical versus practical results and recommendations for future research. In addition, a practical flow diagram is presented as a summary of how the results of the theoretical model can be used as a tool in organizational development and training interventions in the context of EOF problems.
A finite element method for the contraction analysis of the cardiac tissue: effect of the extracellular collagen network on the myocardial contraction

Recent studies in mammalian hearts show that left ventricular wall thickening is an important mechanism for systolic ejection and that during contraction the cardiac muscle develops significant stresses in the muscular cross-fiber direction. We suggested that the collagen network surrounding the muscular fibers could account for these mechanical behaviors. To test this hypothesis we develop a finite element model for large deformation response of active, incompressible, nonlinear elastic and transversely isotropic cardiac tissue in which we include a coupling effect between the connective tissue and the muscular fibers. Then, the three-dimensional finite element formulation including this internal pseudo-active kinematic constraint is written and applied to obtain solutions to an active contraction, uniaxial and equibiaxial extensions of a rectangular sample assuming negligible body forces and inertia. This model could explain the effect of the extracellular collagen network on the myocardial contraction, and the results obtained shown that the proposed connective tissue organization may contribute to the systolic wall thickening.
Deep vein thrombosis in pregnancy: Epidemiology, pathogenesis, and diagnosis

VTE can manifest during pregnancy as an isolated lower extremity deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or clot can break off from the lower extremities and travel to the lung to present as a pulmonary embolus (PE) [8-10]. PE is the seventh leading cause of maternal mortality, responsible for 9 percent of maternal deaths [11-13]. Thus, the detection of DVT during pregnancy is critical to preventing deaths from PE.
Caddisfly Species Identification via Wing Morphometrics and Potential Applications

Species identification is an important aspect of many biological studies, and something that remains incredibly challenging in entomology. Researchers strive to discover new methods of identification, using more technological resources in recent years. In this study, I determined if geometric morphometrics of caddisfly wing venation could identify differences between species in the family Hydropsychidae and sexes. To examine wing venation with the geometric morphometrics, I mounted fore and hind wings on glass slides and identified 45 landmarks on each individual. I analyzed differences between individuals via Generalized Procrustes Analysis and Principal Component Analysis. The tests revealed variation largely in the central crossveins; PCA scores showed at least 50% variation between wing landmarks, enough to distinguish species into three distinct clusters. Ideally, this data can be used in future applications of machine learning identification.
Smart Attendance System Using CNN

The research on attendance system have been going on for a very long time, many solution have been proposed to make this system smart, but all those system have several weaknesses. In this paper we introduced Smart attendance system based on face recognition that can be used to take attendance of the students sitting in a classroom all at once. Our proposed system of smart Attendance System is divided into four steps. First, face detection is done based on Histogram of Orientation Gradient (HOG) algorithm. Second, face alignment is done based on face landmark estimation algorithm. Third, face encoding, Facenet algorithmbased approach is used for face encoding, it has an accuracy of 99.63% on LFW dataset. Each face is encoded with unique 128 values. Finally, SVM classifier is trained with these 128 dimension values for each face. Our system also makes a report of attendance with date and it is automatically mailed to the faculty. Keywords— Face Recognition, Histogram of gradient, Facenet, Attendance database
The Effect of Using Mother Tongue in Teaching and Learning Basic Science in Delta State, Nigeria

The cry of poor academic performance in science among primary school pupils, is an issue that needs redress. Language is said to be one the most important features that distinguish human beings from other living things. It is the basis of communication among humans, as teaching and learning depend effectively on the language of communication. There are various languages used in communicating to one another. Researchers in the field of education have carried out several studies which focused on means of finding solution to the problem of poor academic achievement in science among primary school pupils. Some of these studies have dealt with curriculum issues, teaching methods, study habit and so on. But no convincing evidence on the effect of using Mother Tongue in teaching basic science. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to determine the effect of Mother Tongue in teaching and learning basic science in primary schools. Quasi-experimental research design was adopted for the study. A total of 1037 primary five school pupils were selected for the study using a simple and stratified random sampling procedure. The instrument used for data collection is Basic Science Test for Primary School Pupils (BSTPSP) comprises English and Urhobo versions of 20 items each. Obtained data were subjected to T-test statistical analysis. Results shows that there is a significant difference between English and Urhobo (Mother Tongue) performance among the primary school pupils in Delta Central, Delta State, Nigeria. Conclusion is therefore reached that the use of Mother Tongue has a significant effect on pupils academic achievement when compared to the use of English Language. We therefore recommended that teaching in English language should be properly developed and effective teaching strategies in English be adopted for teaching basic science, as some of the formulae and concepts have no equivalent in the mother tongue. The use of Mother Tongue should also be encouraged as a means of teaching and learning basic science especially in rural areas.

Relation Between Frailty and Common Geriatric Problems in Elderly

Background: There is a high prevalence of common geriatric problems (falls, urinary incontinence, visual and hearing impairment) among frail elderly leading to more disability and functional impairment. Objectives: The aim of this study is to compare the prevalence of common geriatric problems between frail and non-frail elderly. Design: A Case control study. Participants: 90 participants aged 60 years and above. They were selected from Ain Shams University Hospital from inpatient wards and outpatient clinics. The studied sample was divided into 2 groups: Group A (30 frail elderly females and 30 frail elderly males) and Group B (30 healthy elderly subjects; 15 males and 15 females). Measurements: Comprehensive geriatric assessment, including detailed history of common geriatric problems as mentioned above, physical examination, and also assessment of frailty using modified Fried criteria ]. Results: Hearing impairment, incontinence and falls were more prevalent in frail elderly with a highly difference between the two groups, with p values< (0.001,0.009,0.006) consequently, visual impairment was statistically significant in cases more than controls with p value (0.012). Conclusion: There is a significant positive relationship and high prevalence of common geriatric problems especially falls, urinary incontinence, visual and hearing impairment among frail elderly.
Teaching wave theory with simulations-numerical aspects

A ripple tank simulation is presented that lets the students interactively explore basic wave phenomena like the propagation of circular waves, the Doppler effect or refraction at a boundary. Moreover the artifacts of the numerical simulation that show up for special parameter values like very short or very long wave lengths can be used to demonstrate the limitations of the simulation program. This is a good starting point for a discussion of the finite difference scheme employed for solving the two-dimensional wave equation: The consequences of the Nyquist frequency and of numerical dispersion and damping are explained as well as the sophisticated boundary scheme known as "perfectly matched layer".
Development of a Human Neuromuscular Balance Controller

Our aim is to simulate human movements with a neuromuscular controller consisting of feedback pathways that are known to exist in humans. This abstract shows preliminary work where the neuromuscular controller was implemented in the hip. The knee and ankle were controlled by a position controller. The controller was able to stabilize a human model in a simulated perturbed standing experiment, and its behavior was compared to a human in the same experiment. We show that the motion in the hip correlated best with the motion of the human in the experiment.
Network polarization in online politics participatory media

Political polarization is traditionally analyzed through the ideological stances of groups and parties, but it also has a behavioral component that manifests in the interactions between individuals. We present an empirical analysis of the digital traces of politicians in politnetz.ch, a Swiss online platform focused on political activity, in which politicians interact by creating support links, comments, and likes. We analyze network polarization as the level of intraparty cohesion with respect to inter-party connectivity, finding that supports show a very strongly polarized structure with respect to party alignment. The analysis of this multiplex network shows that each layer of interaction contains relevant information, where comment groups follow topics related to Swiss politics. Our analysis reveals that polarization in the layer of likes evolves in time, increasing close to the federal elections of 2011. Furthermore, we analyze the internal social network of each party through metrics related to hierarchical structures, information efficiency, and social resilience. Our results suggest that the online social structure of a party is related to its ideology, and reveal that the degree of connectivity across two parties increases when they are close in the ideological space of a multi-party system.
Detecting and Correcting Typing Errors in DBpedia

DBpedia has long been one of the major hubs of the Linked Open Data ecosystem. It is built by a largely automated process that uses many extractors and manually curated mappings to read information from infoboxes on Wikipedia. Given the complexity of the task, it is not surprising that DBpedia contains different kinds of errors, ranging from mistakes in the source text to errors in the extractors themselves (or in the order in which they are applied). Of particular importance are typing errors in which an entity is assigned a type from the DBpedia ontology to which it does not belong. These errors propagate very far, given the modern practice of relying on Knowledge Graphs (KGs) such as DBpedia for obtaining training data through distant supervision. We posit a way to correct these errors is through a post factum analysis of the KG. Thus, we introduce and evaluate a KG refinement approach that uses binary classifiers that rely on semantic embeddings of the entities to detect and remove incorrect type assignments. Our initial evaluation is done using a highly curated gold standard of 35 types from the DBpedia ontology and shows the method is very promising.
