Knowledge and attitudes about mental health among older immigrants from the former Soviet Union to Israel and their primary care physicians
Authors: Dolberg Pnina , Goldfracht Margalit , Karkabi Khaled , Bleichman Igor , Fleischmann Silvia , Ayalon Liat
Published: August 2018

Previous studies have documented a high prevalence of psychological distress and mental illness among older immigrants from the former Soviet Union (FSU) in Israel. Yet, this population rarely seeks help from mental health providers. The present study aimed to identify beliefs and attitudes about depression and anxiety among older immigrants from the FSU treated in primary care, and among their primary care physicians, who were also FSU immigrants. The study used focus group (FG) interviews with primary care patients (n = 12) and physicians (n = 23). The interviews were transcribed and analyzed using open thematic coding. Three main themes were identified: a) avoidance of discussion of mental health and stigma regarding mental illness; b) expectations to control one's mental state; and c) limited opportunities to acquire knowledge about Western mental health. Primary care physicians recognized the barriers facing their older immigrant patients concerning mental health diagnosis and treatment. Yet, due to work overload, their ability to assist older immigrants was limited. The findings suggest that older immigrants from the FSU might benefit from mental health information and exchange of ideas about Western mental health.
Democratizing Data about Unauthorized Residents in the United States: Estimates and Public-Use Data, 2010 to 2013
Authors: Warren Robert
Published: August 2018

Information about the unauthorized resident population is needed to develop and evaluate US immigration policy, determine the social and economic effects of unauthorized immigration, and assist public and private service providers in carrying out their missions. Until recently, estimates have been available only for selected data points at the national and sometimes the state level. The Center for Migration Studies (CMS) convened a meeting in September 2013 to assess the need for information about the unauthorized resident population. The meeting included leading academics, researchers, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) that serve immigrants, and local, state, and federal government representatives. Based on the recommendations from that meeting, CMS initiated a project to derive estimates of the size and characteristics of the unauthorized population at the national, state, and sub-state levels, and to make the information readily available to a wide cross-section of users. A series of statistical procedures were developed to derive estimates based on microdata collected by the US Census Bureau in the 2010 American Community Survey (ACS). The estimates provide detailed demographic information for unauthorized residents in population units as small as 100,000 persons. Overall, the estimates are consistent with the limited information produced by residual estimation techniques. A primary consideration in constructing the estimates was to protect the privacy of ACS respondents.
Problems Faced by Mexican Asylum Seekers in the United States
Authors: Cabot J. Anna
Published: August 2018

Violence in Mexico rose sharply in response to President Felipe Calderón's military campaign against drug cartels which began in late 2006. As a consequence, the number of Mexicans who have sought asylum in the United States has grown significantly. In 2013, Mexicans made up the second largest group of defensive asylum seekers (those in removal proceedings) in the United States, behind only China (EOIR 2014b). Yet between 2008 and 2013, the grant rate for Mexican asylum seekers in immigration court fell from 23 percent to nine percent (EOIR 2013, 2014b). This paper examines—from the perspective of an attorney who represented Mexican asylum seekers on the US-Mexico border in El Paso, Texas—the reasons for low asylum approval rates for Mexicans despite high levels of violence in and flight from Mexico from 2008 to 2013. It details the obstacles faced by Mexican asylum seekers along the US-Mexico border, including placement in removal proceedings, detention, evidentiary issues, narrow legal standards, and (effectively) judicial notice of country conditions in Mexico. The paper recommends that asylum seekers at the border be placed in affirmative proceedings (before immigration officials), making them eligible for bond. It also proposes increased oversight of immigration judges.
The US Refugee Protection System on the 35th Anniversary of the Refugee Act of 1980
Authors: Kerwin Donald
Published: August 2018

In 2013, the Center for Migration Studies of New York (CMS) initiated a project to bring concentrated academic and policy attention to the US refugee protection system, broadly understood to encompass refugees, asylum seekers and refugeelike populations in need of protection. The initiative gave rise to a series of papers published in 2014 and 2015, which CMS is releasing as a special collection in its Journal on Migration and Human Security on the 35th anniversary of the Refugee Act of 1980. This introductory essay situates the papers in the collection within a broader discussion of state compliance with international law, impediments to protection, US protection programs, vulnerable populations, and due process concerns. The essay sets forth extensive policy recommendations to strengthen the system drawn from the papers, legislative proposals, and other sources.
Ma2/d promotes myonuclear positioning and association with the sarcoplasmic reticulum
Authors: Reuveny Adriana , Shnayder Marina , Lorber Dana , Wang Shuoshuo , Volk Talila
Published: August 2018

The cytoplasm of striated myofibers contains a large number of membrane organelles, including sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR), T-tubules and the nuclear membrane. These organelles maintain a characteristic juxtaposition that appears to be essential for efficient inter-membranous exchange of RNA, proteins and ions. We found that the membrane-associated Muscle-specific α2/δ (Ma2/d) subunit of the Ca2+ channel complex localizes to the SR and T-tubules, and accumulates at the myonuclear surfaces. Furthermore, Ma2/d mutant larval muscles exhibit nuclear positioning defects, disruption of the nuclear-SR juxtapositioning, as well as impaired larval locomotion. Ma2/d localization at the nuclear membrane depends on the proper function of the nesprin ortholog Msp300 and the BAR domain protein Amphiphysin (Amph). Importantly, live imaging of muscle contraction in intact Drosophila larvae indicated altered distribution of Sarco/Endoplamic Reticulum Ca2+-ATPase (SERCA) around the myonuclei of Ma2/d mutant larvae. Co-immunoprecipitation analysis supports association between Ma2/d and Amph, and indirectly with Msp300. We therefore suggest that Ma2/d, in association with Msp300 and Amph, mediates interactions between the SR and the nuclear membrane.
Protein–RNA interactions: structural characteristics and hotspot amino acids
Authors: Krüger Dennis M. , Neubacher Saskia , Grossmann Tom N.
Published: August 2018

Structural information about protein–RNA complexes supports the understanding of crucial recognition processes in the cell, and it can allow the development of high affinity ligands to interfere with these processes. In this respect, the identification of amino acid hotspots is particularly important. In contrast to protein–protein interactions, in silico approaches for protein–RNA interactions lag behind in their development. Herein, we report an analysis of available protein–RNA structures. We assembled a data set of 322 crystal and NMR structures and analyzed them regarding interface properties. In addition, we describe a computational alanine-scanning approach which provides interaction scores for interface amino acids, allowing the identification of potential hotspots in protein–RNA interfaces. We have made the computational approach available as an online tool, which allows interaction scores to be calculated for any structure of a protein–RNA complex by uploading atomic coordinates to the PRI HotScore web server (https://pri-hotscore.labs.vu.nl).
Rat BodyMap transcriptomes reveal unique circular RNA features across tissue types and developmental stages
Authors: Zhou Tong , Xie Xueying , Li Musheng , Shi Junchao , Zhou Jin J. , Knox Kenneth S. , Wang Ting , Chen Qi , Gu Wanjun
Published: August 2018

Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are a novel class of regulatory RNAs. Here, we present a comprehensive investigation of circRNA expression profiles across 11 tissues and four developmental stages in rats, along with cross-species analyses in humans and mice. Although the expression of circRNAs is positively correlated with that of cognate mRNAs, highly expressed genes tend to splice a larger fraction of circular transcripts. Moreover, circRNAs exhibit higher tissue specificity than cognate mRNAs. Intriguingly, while we observed a monotonic increase of circRNA abundance with age in the rat brain, we further discovered a dynamic, age-dependent pattern of circRNA expression in the testes that is characterized by a dramatic increase with advancing stages of sexual maturity and a decrease with aging. The age-sensitive testicular circRNAs are highly associated with spermatogenesis, independent of cognate mRNA expression. The tissue/age implications of circRNAs suggest that they present unique physiological functions rather than simply occurring as occasional by-products of gene transcription.

A structured-literature-review of the supply chain practices in dairy industry
Authors: Mor Rahul S , Bhardwaj Arvind , Singh Sarbjit
Published: August 2018

Dairy industry plays a vital role in enriching the socio-economic status of rural India, particularly in women empowerment. In general, either a structure or subcomponents of dairy supply chain is discussed in the literature, but the rational (why, what, how) is missing. Further, the structured-literature-review (SLR) of dairy supply chain management (DSCM) practices is scarce. This paper presents an SLR of articles published in the context of DSCM practices. The paper further assesses the extent to which the SLR approach can be applied to DSCM so as to produce a consistent knowledge stock by evolving a context-sensitive study. The key challenges discussed in reviewed articles are highlighted. Authors selected the articles published in peer-reviewed journals and categorized the articles published in recent eleven years into three main subjects of supply chain i.e. distribution management (DM), risk management (RM), and decision-making strategies (DMS). The findings of this study show that the food safety, product quality, and associated economic benefits in dairy industry can be achieved through technological innovation, eradication of uncertainties, and introducing the global SCM practices into lean and green initiatives.
Aggregate planning for probabilistic demand with internal and external storage
Authors: Biazzi Jorge Luiz
Published: August 2018

This paper presents three approaches to support decision-making for production planning, sales and inventory problems. They work in a situation with: non-stationary probabilistic demand; production capacity in regular hours and overtime; shortage leads to lost sales; limited internal storage space; and ordering costs resulting from machine preparation are negligible. In the first approach, we consider the problem as linear and deterministic. In the second, safety inventories are used to fill a probabilistic demand, but the possibility of stockout is not considered. The third approach estimates shortage resulting from demand uncertainty. The last two approaches use iterative processes to re-estimate unit holding cost, which is the basis to calculate safety inventories in each period of the horizon. Using Microsoft Excel Solver, with linear programming and nonlinear search functions, a hypothetical example (but strongly based on real-life companies) and some scenarios permit concluding that developing more realistic and complex models may not provide significant benefits.
Internationalization patterns and their effects on company performance
Authors: Costa Augusto Dalmoro , Camboim Guilherme Freitas , Zen Aurora Carneiro
Published: August 2018

The goal of this article is to identify internationalization patterns and analyze their effects on company performance. This is a quantitative study with a sample of 343 Brazilian companies that have had export operations for more than three years. Results indicate that companies choose between two distinct paths to internationalization. In the first group are firms that seek to enter the global market proactively. They are present in more countries, have an in-house department of internationalization and a better economic-financial performance. The second group consists of companies that approach internationalization reactively. They outsource part of the process, succeed only in entering markets that are less demanding and do not perform as well as the first group.
Influence between individual entrepreneurial orientation, service strategy and business performance
Authors: Barreto Viana Mercia Cristiley , Nóbrega Kleber Cavalcanti , Souza Lieda Amaral
Published: August 2018

In today’s competitive business environment, the influence of strategies is directly linked to the demands of the market, particularly through individual performance, whether concerning customers or suppliers of products and services. The goal of this study was to investigate the influence between individual entrepreneurial orientation, service strategy and business performance. To that end we conducted a descriptive quantitative study with a sample of 250 respondents in the hospitality industry in Brazil. We used a conceptual model with hypotheses which we tested through the modelling of structural equations, using Smart PLS 3.0 software. The theoretical and practical implications obtained from our field research indicate that the latent variable Individual Entrepreneurial Orientation has a greater impact on service strategy, followed by a small influence of service strategy on business performance. For future research, we recommend investigating the relationship between individual entrepreneurial orientation and business performance.

Banking on “Mobile Money”: The Implications of Mobile Money Services on the Value Chain
Authors: Dong Yan , Chung Moonwon , Zhou Chen , Venkataraman Sriram
Published: August 2018

Problem definition: This study examines the effects of mobile money on the value chain, that is, mobile network operators (MNOs), banks, and end users. Mobile money is an innovative technology that is bundled with related services and is designed to provide cost-efficient financial inclusion for underserved populations in the developing world. Academic/practical relevance: By studying the interaction between mobile money value chain structures and service bundle compositions, we expand our understanding on value chain revenue allocation mechanisms in developing economies. This study provides a valuable foundation for practitioners to better coordinate the value chain and facilitate sustainable growth of mobile money services. Methodology: By combining proprietary and public data, we assess the impact of launching mobile money and the potential asymmetric effects of credit payments on the performance of the value chain. We identify control groups by using propensity score matching and estimate a quasi-experimental difference-in-difference regression. Results: We find that the launch of mobile money has had a positive effect on the performance of the value chain, consisting of old, poor, and undereducated populations. However, although some bundled, complementary services, such as credit payments, benefit participating banks, they may be associated with lower MNO profits. Moreover, the effects of mobile money on the value chain remain positive and stable over time, whereas the effects of credit payments are stronger over time. Managerial Implications: Findings suggest that MNOs and banks should be encouraged to launch mobile money and expand the customer base to old, poor, and less-educated members of the population. Certain services such as credit payment may yield asymmetric benefits such that banks could consider compensation mechanisms for the MNOs. Policy makers in developing countries should encourage coordination and promote a fair distribution of benefits between the two partners to sustain the growth of mobile money services.

Conflict and lawlessness often occurs in the community due to the inability to communicate the problems that occur in the middle of them and the lack of legal knowledge. The method used is qualitative research. The results showed the rule of law in a pluralistic society is still oriented to the planting of the value of local norms. Society tends to adhere to local rules that exist with diversity than comply with state law. Harmonization of pattern formation in the culture of communication systems for law enforcement can be done with a mixture of culture in a pluralistic society. Effect seen with the pattern of cultural harmonization is the use of legal communications become more effective in terms of law enforcementKonflik dan pelanggaran hukum kerap terjadi pada masyarakat dikarenakan ketidakmampuan  untuk mengkomunikasikan masalah yang terjadi di tengah mereka dan kurangnya pengetahuan hukum. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah penelitian  kualitatif. Hasil penelitian menunjukan penegakan hukum pada masyarakat pluralistik  masih berorientasi pada penanaman nilai norma lokal. Masyarakat cenderung mematuhi aturan lokal yang ada dengan keberagamannya dibandingkan mematuhi hukum negara. Pembentukan pola harmonisasi budaya dalam sistem komunikasi hukum guna penegakan hukum dapat dilakukan dengan perbauran budaya pada masyarakat pluralistik. Pengaruh yang terlihat  dengan adanya  pola harmonisasi budaya adalah pengunaan komunikasi hukum menjadi lebih efektif  dalam hal penegakan hukum

Die Digitalisierung bietet ein enormes Potenzial für Wissenschaft, Lehre und Forschung. Doch sind die derzeit geltenden rechtlichen Rahmenbedingungen geeignet, dieses Potenzial auszuschöpfen und gewinnbringend für alle nutzbar zu machen? Nicht nur die aufwändige Recherche nach Rechteinhabern, sondern auch die fehlenden Möglichkeiten, Digitalisate von urheberrechtlich geschützten Werken unter freien Lizenzen nachnutzbar zu machen, erschweren die praktische Umsetzung der gesellschaftlich gewünschten und vielfach auch gesetzlich geforderten digitalen Zugänglichmachung von Sammlungsgegenständen durch Kulturerbeeinrichtungen.
Performance Analysis of High Data Rate Wavelength Division Multiplexed Passive Optical Networks (WDM-PON) for Mobile Backhaul Application
Authors: Kachhatiya Vivek , Prince Shanthi
Published: August 2018

In this work, we propose a sixteen channel wavelength division multiplexed passive optical network (WDM-PON) architecture which provides seamless connectivity between mobile switching center (MSC) and base transceiver stations (BTS) and also serves the fiber to the home (FTTH) users. WDM-PON based mobile backhaul network is considered to be a prime solution due to its quick deployment and reduced cost. Due to growing demand for connectivity and data transmission, the number of wavelengths are increasing day by day. The bit error rate (BER) performance is analyzed for the discrete data rates per wavelength (viz. 2.5 Gbps, 5 Gbps, 10 Gbps, 20 Gbps, and 40 Gbps) at discrete reach for 16 channel WDM-PON. The optical spectrum of sixteen channel WDM-PON is observed for different data rates at multiplexer output and the same is analyzed after fiber distance of 20 km. The fiber reach of the WDM-PON is varied, and its effect on the performance parameter like bit error rate (BER) and Quality Factor (Q-Factor) is observed on BER analyzer for the discrete data rates per wavelength. It is found that as data rate per wavelength increases, the error-free reach of the WDM-PON system decreases. Proposed WDM-PON architecture performs superior to the compared work under similar initial conditions.

The present study aimed for the extraction of color dyes from different sources, such asBrassica oleracea,Brassica campestris,Citrus limon,Citrus limetta,Tagetes erecta,Spinacea oleracea,Beta vulgaris,Rosa indicaandCurcuma longa.The leftovers of such plants were mainly used for color dye extraction and their confirmation using spectrophotometric analysis. The specific color pigments like carotenoids, anthocyanin, chlorophyll and betanin were found to be the main coloring agents that impart specific color to the samples. Among all these samples, the maximum yield was obtained fromC. limettaaqueous peel extract, and among all the temperatures employed room temperature was found out to be the most suitable temperature for the stability of color extracts. The extracted colors were utilized in candy making and sugar syrup making and were also used for coloring various foods stuffs. Moreover, the extracted color dyes were applied for dyeing purposes on cotton cloth with alum showing better and more enhancing color fastness results than the lime.

Published: August 2018

The aim of our study was to explore the first three associations for the following two stimulus words: compassion and self-compassion. In addition, we were interested in whether the participants would conceptualise these words more in terms of emotions, cognitions, or behaviours. The sample consisted of 151 psychology students. A consensual qualitative research approach was adopted. Three members of the core team and an auditor analysed the free associations of compassion and self-compassion. The data showed that there were four domains for both compassion and self-compassion: the Emotional, Cognitive, Behavioural and Evaluative Aspects of compassion/self-compassion. The only domains that differed were the Biological Aspect of compassion and the Situational Aspect of self-compassion. The most frequently represented domain for both compassion and self-compassion was the Emotional Aspect, while both more positive as well as negative emotions were associated with self-compassion than was the case with compassion. The findings of our study show that the participants perceived compassion as mainly consisting of empathy; the emotions of love, sadness and remorse; cognitive understanding; and behavioural displays of help, physical or mental closeness. Compassion was seen as being mainly directed at those close to them, such as family and friends, and at vulnerable people. Compassion occurs in situations of loss or any other kind of suffering. The participants viewed self-compassion primarily in terms of the positive emotions of love and calmness; the negative emotions of unhappiness, sadness and remorse; cognitive understanding; and behavioural displays of self-help through the provision of self-support and self-assurance. Self-compassion is triggered mainly in situations involving internal suffering caused by criticism or externally as a response to a difficult situation. Self-compassion is evaluated in both negative (because of its misuse) as well as positive terms (because of its connection to virtues). The findings of our qualitative study support the idea that compassion is a multidimensional construct consisting of emotional, cognitive, and behavioural aspects.

FSM-16-SO3H nanoparticles were prepared using a sol-gel method at room temperature. The prepared FSM-16-SO3H was used to catalyze the synthesis of polyhydroquinolines through a one-pot, four-component reaction of aldehydes, dimedone, ethyl cyanoacetate, and ammonium acetate under reflux condition in EtOH as a green solvent. To investigate the textural properties of the prepared catalyst, various techniques were applied such as X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscope, and Brunauer–Emmett–Teller. High catalytic activity, easy handling, and thermal stability are the superior properties that could be denoted after successive investigations of this catalyst. In addition, the catalyst can be recovered easily and reused effectively for several cycles.

Are stock returns an inflation hedge for the UK? Evidence from a wavelet analysis using over three centuries of data
Authors: Tiwari Aviral Kumar , Cunado Juncal , Gupta Rangan , Wohar Mark E.
Published: August 2018

This paper analyzes the relationship between stock returns and the inflation rates for the UK over a long time period (February 1790–February 2017) and at different frequencies, by employing a wavelet analysis. We also compare the results for the UK economy with those for the US and two developing countries (India and South Africa). Overall, our results tend to suggest that, while the relationship between stock returns and inflation rates varies across frequencies and time periods, there is no evidence of stock returns acting as an inflation hedge, irrespective of whether we look at the two developed or the two developing markets in our sample.
Formation of di- and polynuclear Mn(II) thiocyanate pyrazole complexes in solution and in the solid state
Authors: Jochim Aleksej , Näther Christian
Published: August 2018

Reaction of Mn(NCS)2 with pyrazole leads to the formation of three compounds with the compositions Mn(NCS)2(pyrazole)4 (1), [Mn(NCS)2]2(pyrazole)6 (2) and Mn(NCS)2(pyrazole)2 (3). Compound 1, already reported in the literature, consists of discrete complexes, in which the Mn(II) cations are octahedrally coordinated by four pyrazole ligands and two terminally N-bonded thiocyanate anions. In compound 2 each of the two Mn(II) cations are coordinated octahedrally by three pyrazole ligands and one terminal as well as two bridging thiocyanate anions, which link the metal cations into dimers. In compound 3 also octahedrally coordinated Mn(II) cations are present but they are linked into chains via centrosymmetric pairs of μ-1,3-bridging thiocyanate anions. Upon heating compound 1 loses the pyrazole co-ligands stepwise and is transformed into the chain compound 3
via the dimer 2 that is formed as an intermediate. Magnetic measurements on compounds 2 and 3 reveal dominating antiferromagnetic interactions, as already observed for 1D Mn(NCS)2 coordination compounds with pyridine based co-ligands.

Farney, TM, MacLellan, MJ, Hearon, CM, Johannsen, NM, and Nelson, AG. The effect of aspartate and sodium bicarbonate supplementation on muscle contractile properties among trained men. J Strength Cond Res 34(3): 763–770, 2020—The focus of this investigation was to examine the effects of aspartate and NaHCO3 supplementation on muscle contractile properties within trained men. Eleven men (21.9 ± 1.5 years) ingested supplementation as 4 conditions all separated by 1 week and included the following: placebo (PLA), l-aspartate (12.5 mg) (ASP), NaHCO3 (0.3 g·kg−1) (SBC), or combination of ASP and SBC (CBO). For each day of testing, participants performed 1 high-intensity exercise session along with a pre- and postexercise (pre- or postex) isometric mid thigh pull test to measure peak force (PF) production and rate of force development (RFD). Blood was collected for all testing sessions before and after the high-intensity exercise to determine ammonia accumulation (AMM). Exercise sessions consisted of 4 exercises: barbell thrusters, squat jumps, lunge jumps, and forward jumps, with the total amount of work being equated for all 4 exercises across all 4 testing sessions. Participants performed the exercises in the aforementioned order, which was designated as 1 round. Each participant performed 3 rounds, with the work-to-rest ratio being 20-second work, 30-second rest. A 1-minute rest was given between the rounds. There were no treatment effects (p > 0.05) for PF, RFD, or AMM. However, there was a significant main effect for supplement consumption for the total time of work with the ASP, SBC, and CBO treatments having a lower time to completion compared with the PLA treatment. Ammonia was significantly elevated postexercise (p = 0.004), whereas there were no differences from preexercise to postexercise for PF or RFD (p > 0.05). The only significant treatment × time interaction was for RFD (p = 0.03) with CBO increasing postexercise, with the other 3 treatments all decreasing postexercise. The combination of ASP and SBC together may have the potential to reduce fatigue by mitigating the effects of metabolic by-product accumulation.
