The Triumph of Maori Entrepreneurs or Diverse Economies

Tuaropaki Power Company is the first Maori geothermal power company—a successful power company that built its own power station and sells electricity to the national grid in Aotearoa, New Zealand. After wresting their lands back from government control, the people of the Tuaropaki Trust are now an inspiration for other tribes when it comes to charting an independent direction. Tuaropaki Power Company is not only celebrated for charting an independent direction, but has also been held up as evidence that an independent direction for tribes lies in using corporate structures and a particular type of entrepreneurship. But is that all that the Tuaropaki Power Company represents? I argue that using a diverse economies framework allows for broader definitions of companies like Tuaropak, and for Maori economies more generally, and provides a richer picture of what is taking place.
Level of Test Anxiety for Final Exam among King Faisal University Students

Background: University life is a chapter of all the enrolled students’ life where they face stressful events that could potentially lead to different levels of anxiety. Anxiety is a common phenomenon that causes poor academic achievements for most college students in the world. Higher state of anxiety, feeling low self-esteem, taking longer time to accomplish tasks, and spending more time for studying, are faced by college students who also worry about tests resulting or low grades. Aim: This study aimed to determine the anxiety level among university students during final exams, and to determine the relationship between students' characteristics and the level of test anxiety among King Faisal University Students in Al Hasa, Eastern Region, Saudi Arabia. Method: A cross-sectional study research design was utilized to conduct the current study on a sample of (N = 362 students) randomly chosen from King Faisal University students from different colleges. Informed consent was taken stating that the participants have the right to leave the study at any time. Students were asked to complete a questionnaire developed by Nist and Diehl (1990) in assessing Test Anxiety. Test anxiety score was measured among students between the age range 18 to 26 years. There was high level of test anxiety among level 3 students (25.3%) with ( Mean ± SD= 31.1±6.8) and among level 4 students (21.2%) with ( Mean ± SD 30.5±6.5). The frequency of students with high anxiety was significantly increased in health college (28%). This means that there was a significant increase in the anxiety score in health colleges compared with non-health colleges. The prevalence of high level of test anxiety among university students was (19.1%). High level of test anxiety is noticed in our university students. Also, the result confirmed that there is a relationship between test anxiety and students’ characteristics. Conclusion: Anxiety is a natural response categorized by feelings of stress, anxious thoughts and bodily alterations like raised blood pressure. Moderate levels of anxiety are motivating and can improve students’ test performances. However, high level of anxiety could hinder and interfere with their academic performance. The current study focuses on the test anxiety level among undergraduate King Faisal University students. In this study, high level of test anxiety is noticed in the students. Also, the result confirmed that there is a relationship between test anxiety and students’ characteristics.

An Intravenous Drug Addict Presenting with ‘Shortness of Breath’: Case Report

A 49-year-old male intravenous drug addict attended the emergency department complaining of ‘shortness of breath’ for one day. He was discharged after evaluation and referred to the methadone clinic. He re-attended the next day complaining of neck stiffness and twitching of limbs for one day. The final diagnosis was tetanus. Although tetanus is rare in Hong Kong, high vigilance should still be maintained for its atypical presentations, especially in high-risk groups.
Inclined-slot-coupled compact dual-frequency microstrip antenna with cross-slot

A design using an inclined-slot-coupling feed for dual-frequency operation of a rectangular microstrip antenna with a cross-slot is described. Results show that, for a given dual-frequency operation, a reduction in antenna size of /spl sim/40% can be achieved by using this design. Also, the frequency ratio of the two frequencies is very slightly affected by the cross-slot length, and mainly determined by the aspect ratio of the patch, making the design simpler and easier to implement.
Voltage stability of radial power links

The general phenomenon of voltage collapse or instability at the load end of transmission links is introduced with reference to previous work, and the induction motor is seen to be the critical constituent of system loads. The power/voltage and reactive-power/voltage characteristics of power-system loads are predicted and accurately represented by polynomial expressions which are used in the analysis of radial transmission links fed from infinite busbars. Graphs summarising the critical load voltages and the corresponding short-circuit levels for various transformer tap ratios are given and are general in application; these are based on the dV/dZ criterion for voltage stability. It is shown that, although tap changing to raise the load voltage increases the critical length of the link, it also reduces the margin between normal operating voltage and the voltage at the onset of instability. The effects of the injection of reactive power by static capacitors are discussed, together with the effect of the induction-motor content of the loads. The use of the dEs/dVr criterion as advocated in the Russian literature is discussed.
Training in accordance to oxygen differential threshold and its impact on the heart metabolic need and the two cortisol and growth hormones for the advanced 1500m runners

The study aims to set a training program with an altitude mask to achieve an oxygen differential threshold. This is set to know the program impact on the oxygen metabolic need of the heart and the two cortisol and the growth hormones. The researcher employed the experimental program of the single 8-player group. This group is used as a specimen that is intentionally selected. Furthermore, many methods, tools, devices, and tests used the most critical setting of the an-8weik training program with 3-tracing sessions per week. The duration is 50-60 minutes. Each session is executed at a 75-95% velocity of the runner's capacity with the altitude mask. The mask was used to know the endurance of the functional organs, especially the heart and the hormones, for the study's physical effort. The pre and post-tests were done. The results were statistically treated, and accordingly, the researcher has arrived at certain conclusions using training according to oxygen differential threshold with altitude mask. It has developed the heart metabolic need level and the level of cortisol and growth hormones. It is possible to carry out a study by using other pieces of training and altitude masks and different thresholds.
High-frequency characteristics of directly modulated InGaAsP ridge waveguide and buried heterostructure lasers

The high-frequency modulation characteristics of InGaAsP ridge waveguide lasers at 1.55 μm and etched mesa buried heterostructure (EMBH) lasers at 1.3 μm are investigated. Small-signal and large-signal circuit models are developed for both devices, and the main factors which influence the high-frequency modulation response are established. It is shown that the electrical parasitics in the chip dominate the small-signal frequency response of the EMBH laser and limit the large-signal turn-on and turn-off times. The small-signal and large-signal responses of both devices show strong damping of the relaxation oscillations. This damping can be modeled accurately using field-dependent optical gain compression in the rate equations.
Design and analysis of an X–Y parallel nanopositioner supporting large-stroke servomechanism

In this paper, we consider the design and analysis of an X–Y parallel piezoelectric-actuator-driven nanopositioner with a novel two-stage amplifying mechanism, where the mechanical design is optimized to achieve a large stroke and high-natural frequency for the purpose of high-performance servomechanism. The parallel kinematic X–Y flexure mechanism provides good geometric decoupling. The kinematic and dynamic analysis shows that the proposed design has a large work space and high bandwidth, which is further verified by finite-element analysis. The analysis results demonstrate that the designed nanopositioner has a large workspace more than 200 µm and a high-natural frequency at about 760 Hz. Furthermore, the dynamical model of the nanopositioner, including the dynamics of the PZT actuators, is also generated from the perspective of input/output transfer functions, and the parameters are identified by frequency-response experiments, which can be used for nano precision servomechanism.
Speeding up an integer-N PLL by controlling the loop filter charge

This paper studies a group of methods designed to speed-up the frequency step response of integer-N phase-locked loops (PLLs). The methods are based on current signals connected to the loop filter. Optimal speed-up waveforms are found mathematically using a linear PLL model. The paper also discusses problems associated with this theoretical waveform and introduces a considerably simpler waveform based on the use of two current pulses. This method uses excess output frequency to quickly cancel the accumulated phase error. In order to accelerate the decay of the phase error, the PLL is first overdriven at the beginning of the frequency transition with an external charge pulse to the loop filter. As the phase error goes rapidly to zero, the frequency error is also reduced to zero by another charge pulse. The theory presented here is verified by measurements using a practical RF synthesizer.
Lateral Soil Resistance for On-bottom Pipeline Design on Clayey Seabed

A series of physical model tests were conducted to investigate the lateral resistance of a partially embedded pipe in soft clay under various embedment and loading conditions at both small and large lateral displacements. Computational limit analyses using a technique called Discontinuity Layout Optimisation (DLO) were conducted to back-analyse and compare with the experimental results. It was found that pipes with different over-penetration ratios show different failure modes and pipe trajectories during lateral movements. Based on the numerical and experimental results, a set of design equations are proposed for the predictions of the lateral resistance of a partially embedded pipe under combined vertical and horizontal loads, which can be used by pipeline engineers to predict the post-buckling configuration given the structural properties of the pipeline.
Hybrid Wavelet-Fourier-HMM Speaker Recognition

The paper presents successful experiments on combining two speaker recognition methods into a hybrid system. The rst branch of recognition is an innovative approach based on discrete wavelet-Fourier transform. The second one is classic, based on HTK and classication into voice and unvoice segments. The hybrid solution outperforms both on a small test set. Further tests of this soultion will be conducted and reported.
Deontological Guilt and Disgust Sensitivity Modulate Moral Behaviour

Objective Deontological Guilt (DG), and Altruistic Guilt (AG) emerge from the appraisal of violating an internalized rule or an altruistic principle, respectively. DG is strictly connected with Disgust Sensitivity and plays a key role in the development and maintenance of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). Previous studies investigated how DG affects responses to hypothetical moral dilemmas, however how DG and Disgust Sensitivity interact modulating moral behavior is still unknown. Methods STUDY 1. 46 healthy participants performed an ecological paradigm in which people can spontaneously decide to lie to obtain a reward (egoistic lie) or give it away (altruistic lie) after three emotional inductions: DG, AG or neutral. Furthermore, OCD traits, Morality, Guilt Propensity and Disgust Sensitivity were assessed by means of questionnaires. STUDY 2. 27 participants from the original sample were retested during the COVID-19 lockdown in Italy to ascertain whether the pandemic modified traits related to morality, disgust, guilt or OCD symptoms and whether these changes modulated moral behavior (measured by a task in which cheating was associated to higher pay-offs). Results STUDY 1. Compared to the neutral, after the DG induction participants produced less altruistic and more egoistic lies. This effect was stronger in participants with high Disgust Sensitivity. STUDY 2. During the COVID-19 lockdown participants became more sensitive to the Authority pillar of the Moral Foundations and more sensitive to Disgust: this increment in deontological morality affected (im) moral behavior depending on changes in Disgust Sensitivity. Conclusions Our data suggest that people with high Disgust Sensitivity are more affected by deontological inductions which translate to higher immorality, supposedly by lowering their moral self-image. These results might have important clinical implications as they suggest that addressing Disgust Sensitivity in therapy, might also decrease the effect of guilt on patients’ behavior.
Introducing U-Learning with E-Learning into the Teaching and Learning Environment of FET Colleges

In recent years, the educational system has undergone changes and experienced challenges due to the introduction of Information Communication Technology (ICT) in teaching and learning methodology. Traditional methods of learning are gradually giving way to electronic learning (elearning). The concept of e-learning has been with us in South Africa for some time now, but it has not yet been successfully implemented due largely to the problem of low bandwidth in terms of internet connectivity.
Three-dimensional lubrication theory in viscoelastic short-bearing

Purpose – The advent of powerful digital computers has seen interest in non-Newtonian fluid mechanics moving towards the solution of complex flow problems for highly elastic liquids in situations of practical importance. Attention must be focussed on the possibility of three-dimensional flow characteristics occurring in seemingly two-dimensional flows. That is the case of the viscoelastic short-bearing. The planar Newtonian case was first studied, but because of the inlet and outlet boundary conditions it was necessary to consider the three-dimensional Newtonian case. There, due to computational difficulties and lack of certitude, it was assumed that the pressure is zero, due to cavitation, over the segment π<<2π. This is an unrealistic assumption. Last investigations proved that, in normal conditions, the cavitation effect is not dominant in journal bearings. The viscoelastic case is even more complicated, and so far it was not possible to tackle the problem in hand in its whole generality. The paper aim.
The Role of Board of Commissioners and Institutional Ownership in CSR Disclosure: An Empirical Study in Indonesia

This study aims to analyze the effect of board of commissioners’ membership, based on several factors such as the existence of female commissioners, expatriate members, and their educational background on corporate social responsibility disclosure with institutional ownership as a moderating variable. The data used in this study are manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange over the 2014–2018 period. The sampling technique used was the nonprobability sampling method with purposive sampling technique in order to obtain 244 observations. The data analysis technique used in this study is Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA); there was also classical assumption test. The results showed that the existence of female members on board of commissioners, the diversity of educational backgrounds of a board of commissioners, and the inclusion of foreign commissioners can increase the disclosure of corporate social responsibility. This research also shows that institutional ownership can play a moderating role in affecting the aforementioned variables in increasing corporate social responsibility disclosure of companies. This research can provide benefits, especially for companies whose production processes have an impact on the environment and society. It is important to carry out corporate social responsibility in order to be responsible for the environment and society.
Study of Anti-Radiation Sensor Technology for Fault Diagnosis System of Nuclear Facilities

Due to the complex structure of nuclear facilities in a high irradiation environment, people were hard to approach it, In view of these situation a fault diagnosis method based on HMM(Hidden Markov Model) of capturing the audio signal while facilities were operating was proposed. With the strong modeling ability, HMM could be applied to analyzing such as audio signal non-stationary time signal. By using this method, the original mechanical structures of nuclear facilities were not destroyed. The preposed sensors were needed as few as possible by the whole diagnosis system and which had a simple structure, low cost structure, the fault diagnosis rate was high and so on. State monitoring and fault diagnosis system of complex nuclear ower equipment could timely and effective to provide running status and potential failure information for operating personnel, which had a vital significance for the safe and reliable operation of nuclear power equipment.
Numerical modeling of an amorphous-silicon-based p-i-n solar cell

A simulation program for amorphous-silicon-based p-i-n solar cells which allows for accurate calculation of single-junction or multijunction cell response under monochromatic or global AM1.5 illumination is discussed. The device model is based on a complete set of Poisson and current continuity equations describing the amorphous intrinsic and microcrystalline or amorphous n/sup +/ and p/sup +/ contacts. It predicts solar cell behavior with uniform and nonuniform optical (mobility) bandgaps, spatially dependent doping densities, and various layer thicknesses, as demonstrated by the very good agreement between the experimental and simulated current-voltage characteristics of single cells, with the bandgaps in the range of 1.75 to 1.47 eV. The material parameters used in the simulation have been obtained from experimental results reported in the literature. The possibility of obtaining higher efficiencies using novel cell designs has also been investigated. Calculations have been carried out on cell structures in which the bandgap of the intrinsic layer is profiled to help hole transport. The most efficient structure, also confirmed by recent experimental data, incorporates normal profiling throughout the bulk of the intrinsic layer with a thin graded buffer at the p/sup +/-intrinsic junction. >
Phishing Websites Detection using Python

Phishing websites is a problem on internet that target the people amenabilities rather than software vulnerabilities. It can be described as it is the process of collecting sensitive information such as usernames and passwords. Types of web pages are different in terms of their features. Phishing occurs when a malicious site acts as a legitimate for obtaining sensitive information such as passwords, account information, or credit card numbers. Phishing attacks can be prevented by detecting websites and notifying users to detect phishing websites. Machine learning algorithms have been one of the most effective techniques for detecting phishing websites. Nowadays, information and communication tools are used in a manner that is very dense with information. For this purpose, various solution methods are developed for various problem. Machine Learning (ML) methods be used in application development for in security purpose. Prediction and decision support system and great benefits can be provided to the person who is responsible for information security. Today, it has become an increasingly popular subject in developing intelligent application. Hence, we use a web page features set to avoid phishing attacks. We proposed a model based on machine learning techniques to detect phishing web pages. We have suggested some rules to have efficient features. The model has 13 inputs and 1 output. The average classification accuracy was measured as 75%.
A Study on the Cost Analysis for the Container Terminal Services based on ABC Approach

Terminal market has rapidly crashed and market rates have taken a sharp plunge. The substantial throughput decrease resulted from the world economic downturn has been a finishing blow to the terminal operators in Busan. Every terminal operator is taking cost saving as its first priority and accelerating structural reform and downsizing. Under the desperate situation, the need of effective cost analysis would be highly required to effectively control operation cost and to develop new services to satisfy the different needs of the customers. Furthermore, terminal operators could reduce unnecessary activities and concentrate their resource on the more cost-effective process through the operation cost analysis. In order to suggest a new framework of the cost control of container terminals, this paper seeks to analyze terminal costs based on ABC approach by processing actual data.
