An app to help european companies to retain talent and reduce job turnover

To reach full productivity, a new employee typically takes from 8 to 12 months. Moreover, during his/her first 45 days, 20% of them decide to quit. Currently, approximately 75% of the companies worldwide have implemented an onboarding process investing an average of €5,380 per new hire. Manual delivering of onboarding information is not effective, but it is a heavy workload for HR managers and cannot be tracked; whereas available software in the market simply refer the employee to the intranet, which can consume up to 30% of the workday. MoB is an app dedicated to onboarding, with 22 modules delivering effective communication using: push-up notification, maps, surveys, virtual reality videos that allow the user to know the facilities and gamification, that increases the probability and an effective consumption of information. And which is more important, MoB is a non-intrusive, white-label and extremely intuitive app: it can be seamlessly integrated into companies’ existing IT systems, with perfect alignment with the corporate image, and easily configurable and manageable by non-IT experts.
We have a SaaS business model that allows: 1) employees (end-users) to increase 23% their confidence and satisfaction and to have access to 5% more benefits. Moreover, MoB reduces 56.4% the time expended to achieve self efficiency and social integration. 2) companies with high employee turnover rates (customers) to increase 75% employees’ engagement, while reducing 31% employee turnover. With MoB, employees reach 97.7% productivity within the first 10 days. Through this project, we aim to boost Iphonedroid competitiveness by generating revenues of €23.5M by 2026 and increasing our workforce by at least 50%..
Consumer Mobile Apps for Potential Drug-Drug Interaction Check: Systematic Review and Content Analysis Using the Mobile App Rating Scale (MARS)

Background: General consumers can now easily access drug information and quickly check for potential drug-drug interactions (PDDIs) through mobile health (mHealth) apps. With aging population in Canada, more people have chronic diseases and comorbidities leading to increasing numbers of medications. The use of mHealth apps for checking PDDIs can be helpful in ensuring patient safety and empowerment. Objective: The aim of this study was to review the characteristics and quality of publicly available mHealth apps that check for PDDIs. Methods: Apple App Store and Google Play were searched to identify apps with PDDI functionality. The apps’ general and feature characteristics were extracted. The Mobile App Rating Scale (MARS) was used to assess the quality. Results: A total of 23 apps were included for the review—12 from Apple App Store and 11 from Google Play. Only 5 of these were paid apps, with an average price of $7.19 CAD. The mean MARS score was 3.23 out of 5 (interquartile range 1.34). The mean MARS scores for the apps from Google Play and Apple App Store were not statistically different (P=.84). The information dimension was associated with the highest score (3.63), whereas the engagement dimension resulted in the lowest score (2.75). The total number of features per app, average rating, and price were significantly associated with the total MARS score. Conclusions: Some apps provided accurate and comprehensive information about potential adverse drug effects from PDDIs. Given the potentially severe consequences of incorrect drug information, there is a need for oversight to eliminate low quality and potentially harmful apps. Because managing PDDIs is complex in the absence of complete information, secondary features such as medication reminder, refill reminder, medication history tracking, and pill identification could help enhance the effectiveness of PDDI apps.
The Spectator as a Lifelong Pupil: Bringing up a Soviet Man. Review of: Mikhailin, V., &amp; Belyaeva, G. (2020). Skrytyi uchebnyi plan. Antropologiia sovetskogo shkol’nogo kino nachala 1930-kh — serediny 1960-kh godov [Hidden Curriculum. Anthropology of the Soviet School Cinema in the Early 1930s — mid-1960s]. Moscow: Novoe literaturnoe obozrenie. 584 p.

In the Russian humanities, cultural and anthropological studies of Soviet feature cinema are poorly represented. The monograph reviewed is one of the few significant studies in this field. On the one hand, in cultural anthropology, feature films are considered a significant visual source. On the other hand, there are serious theoretical and methodological difficulties in the investigation of such cultural policy instruments that make it possible to form a certain anthropological type. V. Mikhailin and G. Belyaeva solve these difficulties, relying on the idea of the fundamentally empathic nature of feature films and the normative poetics that accompanied different periods of Soviet history. The authors carry out painstaking work on the analysis of plots, practices of camera operation, film directors’ decisions, actors’ play, typical characters, and collisions of the Soviet “school” cinema. The film analysis is supplemented by a clarification of the historical and cultural context of their creation. The review notes that the theoretical sections of the work are written concisely. This does not allow for full substantiation of the monograph’s starting idea, i.e. the statement that normative poetics makes it possible not only to transmit the authorities’ idea of the “Soviet man”, but to achieve its internalisation.
Testing for oil saving technological changes in ARDL models of demand for oil in G7 and BRICs

In recent years, global growth of demand for oil has been mainly due to the increasing demand for energy in major developing nations, namely China, India and Brazil, fueled by their exceptional economic performance. On the other hand, in OECD and particularly in the G7 countries, where more than 70% of OECD demand for oil is consumed, demand for oil has been stagnant and seems to have plateaued. In fact, per capita, consumption for oil in these countries has been diminishing in recent years. Given the rising share of the major developing economies in the global demand for oil it is important to have a clear idea about their likely future paths of (per capita) demand for oil. A closely related issue is whether energy and oil efficiency in these economies are price induced or could be considered an exogenous process. In this paper an attempt is made to employ time-series, auto regressive error correction modeling technique to estimate short and long run income and price elasticity’s of demand for oil in G7 and the BRICs, (Brazil, Russia, India and China). We have also tested for oil saving technological changes in these economies. This is done by making use of a price decomposition approach and testing for existence of deterministic trend in the estimated demand for oil models. The study yields a set of GDP and price elasticity’s of demand for oil in G7 and the BRICs comparable to income and price elasticity’s of demand for oil in other studies.
Environments and trypanosomiasis risks for early herders in the later Holocene of the Lake Victoria basin, Kenya

Significance Herding was the earliest form of African food production and transformed local populations of people and animals. Herders migrated from eastern to southern Africa around 2,000 years ago, but only in small numbers. Zoonotic disease vectors, specifically the tsetse fly, which carries sleeping sickness, are thought to have impeded these movements. Archaeologists have argued that the presence of tsetse flies around Lake Victoria, Kenya, created a barrier that prevented migration and forced subsistence diversification. This study, using stable isotope analysis of animal teeth, reveals the existence of ancient grassy environments east of Lake Victoria, rather than tsetse-rich bushy environments. This overturns previous assumptions about environmental constraints on livestock management in a key area for southward movement of early herders.
Carbon risk real estate monitor - framework for science based decarbonisation pathways, toolkit to identify stranded assets and push sustainable investments

The overall objective of the Carbon Risk Real Estate Monitor Project (CRREM) is to accelerate the decarbonization and climate change resilience of the EU real estate sector by providing appropriate science-based carbon reduction pathways at property, portfolio and company level. Furthermore a framework for financial risk assessment to cost-effectively manage carbon mitigation strategies will be delivered. CRREM aims to integrate carbon efficiency and retrofit requirements into investment decisions by evaluating and clearly communicating the downside financial risks associated with a low energy performance and quantifying the financial implications of stricter regulatory environment regarding carbon intensity on the building stock (so-called risk of stranded-assets).

The poor energy efficiency of existing buildings and the still low refurbishment rates in virtually all member states are among the major risks for the sector, as many assets will become „stranded“ properties that will not meet future energy efficiency standards or whose required energetic retrofit will not be financially viable. CRREM will produce clear Science Based Targets for the sector, a tool/framework to assess risk and qualitative reporting templates, which will contribute to accelerate the decarbonisation of the EU building stock to „2-degree-readiness“.

CRREM will apply a sectoral decarbonization approach to downscale EU’s carbon reduction commitments (INDCs) to the Paris Agreement to sector and building level. The project will also provide investors with reliable risk assessment tools to promote more awareness for the need of climate risk management on corporate level. The project will also support the assessment of the financial, regulatory and administrative barriers for investment and how to overcome them. CRREM aims to reduce carbon emissions and increase investment in sustainable retrofits by making real estate decarbonisation targets more transparent and accessible across Europe.
Os níveis de qualidade de vida no trabalho a partir dos modelos de Walton (1973) e Hackman e Oldham (1975): estudo em uma Instituição Federal de Ensino do estado de Minas Gerais

Este estudo foi realizado em virtude da relevância da QVT para o bom desenvolvimento das organizações e também da pluralidade de estudos e de modelos sobre o construto, não se obtendo, no entanto, um consenso final sobre o assunto. A pesquisa objetivou identificar os níveis de QVT em uma Instituição Federal de Ensino de Minas Gerais, a partir dos modelos de Walton (1973) e Hackman e Oldham (1975). Para tanto, a pesquisa se caracterizou como quantitativa e descritiva. Por meio de um estudo de caso, os dados foram coletados via questionário, destinado, de forma impressa, a uma amostra de 175 servidores escolhidos aleatoriamente em um universo de 345 indivíduos. As análises foram feitas por meio de estatística uni e bivariada. Os achados evidenciaram níveis satisfatórios de QVT em ambos os modelos. Em relação ao modelo de Walton, destacam-se as variáveis “estabilidade” e “equilíbrio trabalho e vida”, que mais proporcionam satisfação e também a dimensão “oportunidade de crescimento profissional e pessoal” que menos proporciona satisfação. No que diz respeito ao modelo de Hackman e Oldham, evidenciou-se que a dimensão que mais proporciona satisfação é “inter-relacionamento” e a que menos proporciona satisfação é a dimensão “feedback extrínseco”. Observou-se também a complementaridade entre os modelos abordados, sugerindo a utilização simultânea de ambos ao avaliar os índices de QVT, haja vista a distinção de seus enfoques.
Long-term survival of Escherichia coli in lightweight aggregate filter media of constructed wastewater treatment wetlands

A laboratory scale experiment on the survival of Escherichia coli in samples of filter media from a horizontal subsurface flow constructed wetland treating domestic wastewater was performed. A concentration of E. coli was examined in samples collected from a wetland filter filled with lightweight aggregates (LWA). All samples testing positive for E. coli contamination were used to examine the effect of storage time on the survival of E. coli at three temperature regimes: cold (4°C), mild (10°C) and warm (22°C). It was found that the mild storage condition favoured the growth and survival of E. coli in the tested LWA media. The growth in samples of the uppermost layer of the media lasted for 5.5 months, during which E. coli reached a maximum concentration of 6.4×10(3) MPN/100 g dry matter in the media. It was also observed that E. coli had a greater capacity to survive for extended periods of time in samples collected from the upper layer of the LWA filter compared to samples taken from the deeper layers. The survival of E. coli in the shallowest samples of the wetland filter was remarkably long and unexpected, lasting for a period of over 14 months.
Prevalence of heavy metal resistance in bacteria isolated from tannery effluents and affected soil

In the present study, a total of 198 bacteria were isolated, 88 from the tannery effluents and 110 from agricultural soil irrigated with the tannery effluents. Tannery effluents and soils were analyzed for metal concentrations by atomic absorption spectrophotometer. The tannery effluents and soil samples were found to be contaminated with chromium, nickel, zinc, copper, and cadmium. All isolates were tested for their resistance against Cr(6+ ), Cr(3+ ), Ni(2+ ), Zn(2+ ), Cu(2+ ), Cd(2+ ), and Hg(2+ ). From the total of 198 isolates, maximum bacterial isolates were found to be resistant to Cr(6+ ) 178 (89.9%) followed by Cr(3+ ) 146 (73.7%), Cd(2+ ) 86 (43.4%), Zn(2+ ) 83 (41.9%), Ni(2+ ) 61 (30.8%), and Cu(2+ ) 51 (25.6%). However, most of the isolates were sensitive to Hg(2+ ). Among the isolates from tannery effluents, 97.8% were resistant to Cr(6+ ) and 64.8% were resistant to Cr(3+ ). Most of the soil isolates were resistant against Cr(6+ ) (83.6%) and Cr(3+ ) (81.8%). All isolates were categorized into Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. In a total of 114 Gram-positive isolates, 91.2% were resistant to Cr(6+ ) followed by 73.7% to Cr(3+ ), 42.1% to Zn(2+ ), 40.4% to Cd(2+ ), and 32.5% to Ni(2+ ). Among Gram-negative isolates, 88.1% were found showing resistance to Cr(6+ ), 75.0% to Cr(3+ ), and 47.6% were resistant to Cd(2+ ). Majority of these metal-resistant isolates were surprisingly found sensitive to the ten commonly used antibiotics. Out of 198 isolates, 114 were found sensitive to all antibiotics whereas only two isolates were resistant to maximum eight antibiotics at a time. Forty-one and 40 isolates which constitute 20.7% and 20.2% were resistant to methicilin and amoxicillin, respectively.
How profitable are FX technical trading rules?

Abstract This paper provides a comprehensive empirical investigation of the profitability of foreign exchange technical trading rules over the 1996:10–2015:06 period for 22 currencies quoted in US dollars. It reports evidence of profitability across a universe of 113,148 rules that include traditional moving average rules and those constructed on the basis of technical indicators such as Bollinger bands and the relative strength index. The best trading rules achieve annualised returns of up to 30%. The Step-SPA test (Hsu, Hsu, & Kuan, 2010) results show a sharp fall in the total number of rules that are robust to data snooping bias. Virtually no traditional rule is significant in the 2006–2015 sub-sample, in line with the adaptive market hypothesis. By contrast, rules based on new technical indicator such as Bollinger band and relative strength index rules remain robustly profitable across all currencies over the more recent sub-sample.
Intraobserver and interobserver reliability of radial torsion angle measurements by a new and alternative method with computed tomography

To evaluate the intraobserver and interobserver reliability of radial torsion angle measurement using computed tomography.Twelve pairs of cadaver radii and 116 forearms from 58 healthy volunteers were evaluated using axial computed tomography sections measured at the level of the bicipital tuberosity and the subchondral region of the radius. During digital imaging, the angle was formed by two lines, one diametrically perpendicular to the radial tubercle and the other tangential to the volar rim of the distal joint surface. Measurements were performed twice each by three observers.In cadaveric bones, the mean radial torsion angle was 1.48º (-6º - 9º) on the right and 1.62º (-6 º - 8º) on the left, with a mean difference between the right and left sides of 1.61º (0º - 8º). In volunteers, the mean radial torsion angle was 3.00° (-17° - 17°) on the right and 2.91° (-16°- 15°) on the left, with a mean difference between the sides of 1.58º (0º - 7º). There was no significant difference between each side. The interobserver correlation coefficient for the cadaver radii measurements was 0.88 (0.72 - 0.96) and 0.81 (0.58 - 0.93) for the right and left radius, respectively, while for the volunteers, the difference was 0.84 (0.77 - 0.90) and 0.83 (0.75 - 0.89), respectively. Intraobserver reliability was high.The described method is reproducible and applicable even when the radial tubercle has a rounded contour.
Effect of moisture regimes and pesticides of different biodegradability on transformation of different forms of inorganic and organic N in a dominant soil series of West Bengal

A laboratory experiment was conducted to study the effect of pesticides of different biodegradability on changes in inorganic and organic forms of N in soil maintained under two different moisture regimes. Results revealed that irrespective of pesticides and N treatment, comparatively higher amount of available N is recorded in waterlogged then the soil kept at 60% MHC. Addition of pesticides at lower dose affects the transformation process of organic N in soil. Irrespective of pesticide treatment, in general, hydrolysable NH4 + -N decreased but on the other hand amino acid N increased in soil. Again, the intensity of decrease or increase is more in waterlogged than the soil maintained under 60% of the MHC.
Comparative analysis of vertical posture control in athletes differing in expertise

The balance control was studied in athletes with different degrees of expertise in sports: masters of sports (MSs, n = 18) and candidates for masters of sports (CMSs, n = 13). The balance function was assessed by means of a stabilographic system (Rhythm, Russia) in static tests, including the simple bipedal stance (BS) and squat (SQ) positions, as well as in dynamic tests, including Involute, evaluating the tracking movement and, Step Input, assessing the response of the whole body to a visuomotor task. It was found that MSs did not differ in the linear or angular velocity of oscillations of the center of pressure (CP) in the BS or SQ positions from CMSs with the same anthropometric data, PWC170, and trunk strength. MSs exhibited a relative dominance of low-frequency oscillations in spectral analysis in the BS test with the eyes open. In the Step Input test, MSs had a lower latent period of response and a greater speed and accuracy of the forward and backward body movements in response to the visual signals and exhibited a relative dominance of high-frequency oscillations. The results showed that MSs had an improved postural control, which was mainly expressed in the dynamic test for the speed and accuracy of the whole-body response to visual signals in the vertical posture.

Job scheduling in Hadoop with Shared Input Policy and RAMDISK

Hadoop Framework is a successful option for industry and academia to handle Big Data applications. Large input data sets are split into smaller chunks, distributed among the cluster nodes and processed in the same nodes where they are stored. However, some Hadoop data-intensive applications generate a very large volume of intermediate data to the local file system of each node. Many data spilled to disk associated with concurrent accesses from different tasks that are executed on the same node overload the input/output system. We propose to extend Shared Input Policy, a Hadoop job scheduler policy developed by our research group, by adding a RAMDISK for temporary storage of intermediate data. Shared Input Policy schedules batches of data-intensive jobs that share the same input data set. We add RAMDISK to improve performance of Shared Input Policy. RAMDISK has high throughput and low latency and this allows quick access to intermediate data relieving hard disk. Experimental results show that our approach outperforms Hadoop default policy from 40% to 60% for data intensive applications.
Long unsplittable zero-sum sequences over a finite cyclic group

Let [Formula: see text] be an additively written finite cyclic group of order [Formula: see text] and let [Formula: see text] be a minimal zero-sum sequence with elements of [Formula: see text], i.e. the sum of elements of [Formula: see text] is zero, but no proper nontrivial subsequence of [Formula: see text] has sum zero. [Formula: see text] is called unsplittable if there do not exist an element [Formula: see text] in [Formula: see text] and two elements [Formula: see text] in [Formula: see text] such that [Formula: see text] and the new sequence [Formula: see text] is still a minimal zero-sum sequence.
