A database and guideline approach for table grape nutrients.

Nutrient management has been a concern for table grape growers for several years. Using soil analysis and recommendations as a guideline has had little or no effect on yield in various assessments. A guideline model linked to a database, known as the Table Grape Nutrition Management Model (TGNMM) has been developed for application of nutrition management advised to improve the table grape industry in Zanjan province, Iran, which is one of the main grape-producing areas in Iran. This practical model monitors the grapevine nutrient status, using the soil and tissue analysis (STA), provides further refinement of the fertilizer programme, and determines mineral deficiencies and excesses. TGNMM considers the total mineral flux within the grapevine ecosystem and derives a budget of the amount of main nutrients requirement for grape. The data for generation of TGNMM were collected from the same set of experimental vines during the period of 2002-2005. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Effect of flow regulation on streambank erosion: A perspective downstream of a flood control dam, Kansas, USA

While large dams provide society with many benefits, there are many environmental trade‐offs. One trade‐off of dam installation is the morphologic changes that ensue in the downstream channel. Channel widening due to streambank erosion is a common response to flow regulation (FR), but dominant erosion processes and rates have rarely been evaluated downstream of dams. This case study investigates how a 75‐year‐old flood control dam has affected downstream bank erosion on the Lower Smoky Hill River, located in central Kansas, USA. A one‐dimensional hydraulic, sediment transport, and bank erosion model was used to assess changes in erosion processes and rates with and without FR up to 86 river km downstream of the dam. The model showed that toe erosion was the dominant bank erosion process for both with and without FR scenarios. While toe erosion rates were significantly higher (α < 0.05) under the without FR scenario, more days of toe erosion occurred under the with FR scenario. More days of toe erosion are attributed to the change in the flow regime, with moderate flows (between 5% and 40% daily exceedance probability) increasing and hydrograph rise and fall rates decreasing since dam installation. Furthermore, it was observed that pioneer riparian vegetation may drown out during long duration, high‐flow events brought on by FR, amplifying erosion rates. These results provide broader insight into morphological responses to flood control dams, highlighting the effect changes in flow regime can have on downstream channel morphology and identifying major challenges in managing streambank erosion downstream of dams.
The Upper Mantle Geoid for Lithospheric Structure and Dynamics

Geoid anomalies offer crucial information on the internal density structure of the Earth, and thus, on its constitution and dynamic state. In order to interpret geoid undulations in terms of depth, magnitude and lateral extension of density anomalies in the lithosphere and upper mantle, the effects of lower mantle density anomalies need to be removed from the full geoid (thus obtaining the residual “upper mantle geoid”). However, how to achieve this seemingly simple filtering exercise has eluded consensus for decades in the solid Earth community. While there is wide agreement regarding the causative masses of degrees >10 in spherical harmonic expansions of the upper mantle geoid, those contributing to degrees <7–8 remain ambiguous. Here we use spherical harmonic analysis and recent tomography and density models from joint seismic‐geodynamic inversions to derive a representative upper mantle geoid, including the contributions from low harmonic degrees. We show that the upper mantle geoid contains important contributions from degrees 5 and 6 and interpret the causative masses as arising from the coupling between the long‐wavelength lithospheric structure and the sublithospheric upper mantle convection pattern. Importantly, the contributions from degrees 3 < l < 8 do not show a simple power‐law behavior (e.g., Kaula's rule), which precludes the use of standard filtering techniques in the spectral domain. Our upper mantle geoid model will be useful in studies of (a) lithospheric structure, (b) dynamic topography and mantle viscosity, (c) lithosphere‐asthenosphere interactions and (d) the global stress field within the lithosphere and its associated hazards.
The Disappearing Shelf Space Versus the Flourishing Virtual Newsstands in the Philippine Publishing Industry: The Case of Abs-Cbn Publishing, Inc.

This study aimed to determine and analyze the characteristics of ABS-CBN Publishing, Inc.'s target market and how several factors affect its target market’s media platform choice. This study used the mixed method of research to determine the profile of the respondents, their choice and use of publication platform, the significant relationship between the respondents’ personal profile and the factors affecting their platform choice, and the implications in terms of issues or concerns and opportunities to ABS-CBN Publishing, Inc. Data were gathered through the administration of a researcher-made questionnaire and conduct of personal interviews. Moreover, means and standard deviation were used to interpret the extent of the factors affecting the platform choice of customers (accessibility, pricing, payment scheme, innovation, audience engagement, value-added features, and user-friendly) relevant for data analysis. Inferential statistics such as T-Test and Tukey Post Hoc were utilized for independent samples used to determine the significant factors of the respondents when they were grouped in terms of the dichotomous variable, and one-way ANOVA for the variables with more than two categories. Results revealed that the respondents belong to Generation Y or digital natives and are earning decently enough to sustain their leisure, needs, and interests, in both traditional media and digital platforms. The study furthers that there are no specific criteria for platform choice due to the various requirements and needs of individual respondents. Hence, it is proposed that the company’s digital presence must be strengthened and the presence of print media in regulated operations be enhanced.
Mindfulness-based cognitive group therapy for women with breast and gynaecologic cancer: a pilot study to determine

Purpose: Group-based mindfulness training is frequently described in psycho-oncology literature but little is known of the effectiveness of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT). We investigated the effectiveness and acceptability of MBCT for women with breast and gynaecologic cancer. Methods: Fifty women were recruited to participate in 8 weekly 2-hour mindfulness sessions. Outcomes of distress, quality of life (QOL), post-traumatic growth, and mindfulness were assessed pre-intervention, post-intervention and again 3 months later using validated measures. Data were analysed with repeated measures ANOVAs with a Bonferroni correction. Participant satisfaction and evaluation were also assessed. Results: Forty-two women completed the program and complete data were available for 36 women. Significant improvements with large effect sizes ( ηρ ²) were observed for distress (P<.001; ηρ ²=.238), QOL (P=.001; ηρ ²=.204), mindfulness (P<.001; ηρ ²=.363) and post-traumatic growth (P<.001; ηρ ²=.243). Gains were maintained 3 months post-intervention. Improvements in outcomes did not differ based on diagnostic group, psychological status or physical wellbeing at entry. Change indices further support these findings. Scores on measures of distress, QOL and post-traumatic growth decreased as a function of increased mindfulness at each time-point (all P<.05). Participants reported experiencing the program as beneficial, particularly its group-based nature, and provided positive feedback of the therapy as a whole as well as its individual components. Conclusions: Within the limits of a non-randomized trial, these findings provide preliminary support for the potential psychosocial benefits of MBCT in a heterogeneous group of women with cancer. Future, more comprehensive trials are needed to provide systematic evidence of this therapy in oncology settings. adjustment were used to examine differences between each time point. Given that we purposively recruited women from two diagnostic groups and were inclusive with regard to physical and psychological status at study entry, we investigated variations in outcome of these variables. To examine variations in outcomes based on cancer diagnosis and psychological status, tumour stream (breast vs gynaecologic) and receipt of current formal mental health treatment (receiving treatment vs not) were used as a between-subjects factors. To determine the effect of physical health on outcomes, a median split of the Physical Wellbeing subscale of the FACT-G at T1 was performed and entered as a between subjects factor. This analysis was not performed for the repeated measures ANOVA of QOL as measured by the FACT-G total score because this total score is an aggregate score of, inter alia , the Physical Wellbeing Score. Cross-sectional associations between mindfulness and other outcomes were analysed with simple bivariate correlations. Data were analysed using SPSS version 20.0.
An attempt to geometrize electromagnetism

Abstract This study investigates the curved worldline of a charged particle accelerated by an electromagnetic field in flat spacetime. A new metric, which dependes on the charge-to-mass ratio and electromagnetic potential, is proposed to describe the curve characteristic of the world-line. The main result of this paper is that an equivalent equation of the Lorentz equation of motion is put forward based on a 4-dimensional Riemannian manifold defined by the metric. Using the Ricci rotation coefficients, the equivalent equation is self-consistently constructed. Additionally, the Lorentz equation of motion in the non-inertial reference frames is studied with the local Lorentz covariance of the equivalent equation. The model attempts to geometrize classical electromagnetism in the absence of the other interactions, and it is conducive to the establishment of the unified theory between electromagnetism and gravitation.
The Effectiveness of Home-Based Exergames Training on Cognition and Balance in Older Adults: A Comparative Quasi-Randomized Study of Two Exergame Interventions

Abstract Background and Objectives The effectiveness of exergames on fall risk and related physical and cognitive function in older adults is still unclear, with conflicting findings. The discrepancy in these results could be due to the different components and task-specific demands of individual exergame interventions. This open-label quasi-randomized study aimed to compare the efficacy of 2 different home-based dual-task exergame treatments on cognition, mobility, and balance in older people. Research Design and Methods Fifty older adults (65–85 years of age) were allocated to one of two 8-week exergame interventions: Cognitive-Intensive Exergame Training (CIT) or Physical-Intensive Exergame Training (PIT). Cognitive functions, balance, and mobility were assessed at baseline and after 8 weeks. Group × time interaction was measured by repeated-measure ANOVA, and both intention-to-treat (ITT) and per-protocol (PP) analyses were performed to assess the effectiveness of exergame interventions. Results ITT analyses showed that improvement in visual processing speed and visuospatial working memory was greater in the CIT group, with a medium effect size (p = .04; η2 = 0.09 and p = .01; η2 = 0.12). The improvement in verbal memory and attention was significant within both groups (p < .05), but this improvement was not different between the groups (p > .05). A significant improvement in balance was also observed in the PIT group, with a medium effect size (p = .04; η2 = 0.09). Although mobility improved significantly in both groups (p < .01), there was no significant difference between groups (p = .08). These results were largely supported by the PP analysis. Discussion and Implications Dual-task exergame training can improve mobility and cognition in older adults. However, the different cognitive and physical demands of these interventions may have varying impacts on fall risk and related physical or cognitive functions. Therefore, a training program that includes both cognitive and physical domains with appropriate intensity is essential for the development of tailored exergame interventions to reduce fall risk in older adults.
Analysis of the Impact of Abnormal Audit Fees on Audit Quality

: In recent years, there have been frequent cases of financial fraud and audit failures among listed companies in China. Audit quality issues continue to attract public attention. Audit quality is the lifeline of audit business and the fundamental factor for auditing to fully exert its functions, and its importance is self-evident. There are numerous factors that affect audit quality, and audit fees are one of the important factors that affect audit quality. The changes in the external macro environment and the speculative behavior of the audited entity will both lead to an increase in audit fees. Abnormally high audit fees often indicate that companies are engaging in high priced buying of audit opinions. The situation of oversupply in the audit market, coupled with the unequal status between accounting firms and clients, has led to a phenomenon of low price competition. Both positive and negative abnormal audit fees can lead to a decrease in the quality of auditors' practice. Therefore, this article will start from the definition of abnormal audit fees and audit quality, and further analyze the impact of abnormal audit fees on audit quality. At the same time, this article proposes countermeasures to address the phenomenon of abnormal audit fees damaging audit quality, in order to assist in improving audit quality.
Quantum theory of plasmons in nanostructures

In this thesis, ab initio quantum-mechanical calculations are used to study the properties of plasmons in nanostructures that involve atomic length-scales. The plasmon is an electronic excitation that corresponds to oscillations in the electron charge density in metals, often visualized as water ripples in a pond where the water represents a sea of free electrons. Plasmons on metal surfaces and in nanostructured materials, such as metal nanoparticles and atomically thin two-dimensional materials, have several technological applications due to their ability to confine light on nanoscale. For a theoretical description of plasmon in such materials, where the electrons are heavily confined in one or more directions, a quantum mechanical description of the electrons in the material is necessary. In this thesis, the ab initio methods Density functional theory (DFT) and linear response time-dependent DFT are applied to calculate the properties of plasmons in nanostructures in different dimensions. In order to identify and visualize localized plasmon modes, a method for calculating plasmon eigenmodes within the ab initio framework has been developed. In the studied materials, quantum mechanical effects such as coupling to single-electronic transitions, electron spill-out from the surface, tunneling, and spatial non-locality, are shown to alter the plasmon excitations. The studied systems include two-dimensional materials, such as thin metal films, monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides, and graphene. Here, also van der Waals heterostructures (vdWh), which are stacks of different twodimensional materials, are considered. A new multi-scale approach for calculating the dielectric-function of vdWh, which extends ab initio accuracy to the description of hundreds of atomic layers, is presented. Also, one-dimensional plasmons are studied in the case of atomically thin nanowires and edge-states of MoS2.
Eco-intellectual capital and sustainability performance of SMEs: The moderating effect of eco-dynamic capability

Abstract The study investigates the moderating role of eco-dynamic capability which mainly involves the amalgamation, construction and reconfiguration of internal and external resources that relate to ecological protection in the link between eco-intellectual capital and sustainability performance of Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Primary data were solicited by resorting to the use of structured questionnaire from 500 employees and owner-managers of SMEs. Hierarchical multiple regression was applied to test all the hypotheses. The study exposed that the interactions of the moderating variable (eco-dynamic capability) and eco-intellectual capital show significant effects on the economic and environmental sustainability performance dimensions. However, on the occasion of social sustainability performance, this was not observed. Thus, eco-intellectual capital could empower organisations to adapt to strict global ecological conventions to fulfil increasing ecological awareness leading to green innovation. This study is among the rare studies that investigates the moderating role of eco-dynamic capability in the relationship between eco-intellectual capital and sustainability performance of an organisation.
The Correlation Between Obesity and the Self-Image of Teenage Girls in Denpasar

In adolescence, the teenage girl begins to pay attention to physical appearance and wants to be close to their ideal concept of beauty, such as a slim body. The inability to appear according to the ideal concept of beauty in teenage girls with obesity causes self-image disorders. This study aims to determine the correlation between obesity and adolescent girls' self-image in Denpasar city. This study employed a correlation analysis with a cross-sectional approach. The sample in this study was 369 respondents. The sampling technique used was cluster sampling and simple random sampling. The data collection tool used was a self-image and percentile IMT questionnaire. Data analysis using chi-square test. Findings indicated that most teenage girls were not obese (72.1%), and most teenage girls had a positive self-image (96.2%). The statistical test shows p<0,001, which means a significant correlation exists between obesity and teenage girls' self-image. A study revealed a significant link between obesity and self-image among adolescent girls, with obese girls experiencing negative self-perception. The study suggests that encouraging these young women to engage in activities they excel in, like exercise and singing, could help them discover their strengths and mitigate the psychosocial effects associated with body image. Additional intervention measures are necessary to explore and reduce the broader psychosocial impact beyond body perception.
A Profile of Public Transportation Passenger Demographics and Travel Characteristics Reported in On-Board Surveys

Data from 150 on-board vehicle passenger surveys conducted by public transportation agencies from 2000 through 2005 were compiled. This is the largest ever on-board survey study about the public transportation industry. These surveys summarized the results of questionnaires completed by over 496,000 public transit riders sampled by transit systems that carry 60 percent of all transit trips in the United States. They describe the demographics and travel behavior of public transit trips and the people who take those trips sampled by on-board surveys; they do not describe the average person who may take public transportation.
Modélisation de cisaillements de vent et assimilation de données dans la couche limite atmosphérique

L'objectif de cette these est d'etudier la capacite des modeles meteorologiques a prevoir des episodes de cisaillements de vent dans les basses couches de l'atmosphere sur une zone limitee a un aeroport et d'examiner l'apport pour la modelisation d'observations locales a haute frequence. Nous avons choisi l'aeroport international de Nice, regulierement soumis a des variations rapides de la direction et de l'intensite du vent selon l'horizontale dans la CLA, appelees aussi renverses. Un profileur de vent et trois anemometres sont installes sur les pistes de l'aeroport. Au debut de l'anne��e 2009, une campagne de mesures incluant un lidar vent a balayage et un anemometre sonique s'est deroulee sur l'aeroport fournissant des observations complementaires. L'ensemble des mesures a haute frequence temporelle et des simulations numeriques obtenues avec le modele de recherche Meso-NH a 2. 5 km de resolution, a fourni une vision de l'enchainement complexe des ecoulements conduisant a des cisaillements de vent d'origine differente. Cette complementarite a aussi permis d'estimer la capacite du modele numerique a reproduire les cisaillements de vent. Pour les trois situations etudiees, il reproduit la structure horizontale et verticale de l'ecoulement malgre des erreurs de placement spatio-temporel. Bien que les ecoulements locaux participent a la mise en place des conditions necessaires au cisaillement de vent, c'est l'ecoulement de meso-echelle (ondes piegees ou talweg d'altitude) qui va determiner la position du phenomene. Nous avons realise des comparaisons avec le modele operationnel de Meteo-France AROME ainsi que des tests de sensibilite pour etudier l'influence des conditions de couplage et de la resolution. Nous avons, en particulier, augmente la resolution horizontale de 2. 5 km a 500 m sur un domaine centre sur l'aeroport de Nice sur les situations etudiees. Une resolution de 500 m permet d'ameliorer la representation d'ecoulements locaux et de variations locales du vent mais n'ameliore pas la position des cisaillements de vent par rapport a une echelle plus grossiere. L'extension horizontale limitee du domaine a haute resolution augmente la sensibilite aux conditions aux limites de grande echelle. Pour ameliorer les previsions et contraindre le modele numerique vers les observations disponibles sur le site d'etude, un systeme d'assimilation de donnees base sur le 'nudging' et permettant de prendre en compte des donnees a haute frequence temporelle, le ''nudging direct et retrograde'' (BFN pour 'Back and Forth Nudging'), a ete mis en place. Nous avons applique cet algorithme aux equations de Lorenz pour confirmer le comportement de cette methode par rapport a des resultats publies anterieurement avec d'autres methodes d'assimilation de donnees. Les resultats encourageants, ont conduit a l'introduction du BFN dans Meso-NH. Nous avons mis en place des simulations avec assimilation de donnees simulees dans des conditions idealisees qui ont montre une reponse coherente du modele numerique a l'introduction de profils verticaux de vent.
Exploring Teachers' Knowledge and Attitudes Toward Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and Its Treatment in a District of Turkey

Background Teachers are pivotal in integrating children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) into academic and social contexts. Their comprehension of and attitudes toward ADHD significantly influence the inclusion of these children. This study was conducted to assess teachers' knowledge, attitudes, and perceptions about ADHD and its treatment within a representative sample from Turkey. Methods An online self-administered questionnaire was formulated to gauge teachers’ knowledge, attitudes, and perceptions related to ADHD and its treatment. Results Of the respondents, 57.7% accurately identified that ADHD is more commonly present in boys. Furthermore, a majority of teachers (60.8%) correctly answered the question related to the comorbidity of ADHD and learning disabilities. However, 20.3% of teachers believed that ADHD medications were addictive, with 9.7% expressing reluctance to use such treatment for their children if needed. Conclusion The results highlight the need for revising the current training curricula for novice teachers and providing additional training for experienced teachers. Such initiatives should aim to rectify any negative perceptions and attitudes toward ADHD held by teachers.
