Published: February 2017

Histidine kinases (HKs) are among the most prominent sensing proteins studied in the kingdom Fungi. Their distribution and biological functions in early diverging fungi (EDF), however, remain elusive. We have taken advantage of recent genomic resources to elucidate whether relationships between the occurrence of specific HKs in some EDF and their respective habitat/lifestyle could be established. This led to the unexpected discovery of fungal HKs that share a high degree of similarity with receptors for plant hormones (ethylene and cytokinin). Importantly, these phytohormone receptor homologs are found not only in EDF that behave as plant root symbionts or endophytes but also in EDF species that colonize decaying plant material. We hypothesize that these particular sensing proteins promoted the interaction of EDF with plants, leading to the conquest of land by these ancestral fungi.

Introduction

Hypercholesterolaemia is estimated to cause 2.6 million deaths annually and one-third of the cases of ischaemic heart disease. In Argentina, the prevalence of hypercholesterolaemia increased between 2005 and 2013 from 27.9% to 29.8%. Only one out of four subjects with a self-reported diagnosis of coronary heart disease is taking statins. Since 2014, statins (simvastatin 20 mg) are part of the package of drugs provided free-of-charge for patients according to cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk stratification. The goal of this study is to test whether a complex intervention targeting physicians and pharmacist assistants improves treatment and control of hypercholesterolaemia among patients with moderate-to-high cardiovascular risk in Argentina.

Methods and analysis

This is a cluster trial of 350 patients from 10 public primary care centres in Argentina to be randomised to either the intervention or usual care. The study is designed to have 90% statistical power to detect a 0.7 mmol/L reduction in low-density lipoproteins cholesterol from baseline to 12 months. The physician education programme consists of a 2-day initial intensive training and certification workshop followed by educational outreach visits (EOVs) conducted at 3, 6 and 9 months from the outset of the study. An on-site training to pharmacist assistants during the first EOV is performed at each intervention clinic. In addition, two intervention support tools are used: an app installed in physician's smartphones to serve as a decision aid to improve prescription of statins according to patient's CVD risk and a web-based platform tailored to send individualised SMS messages to patients.

Ethics and dissemination

Ethical approval was obtained from an independent ethics committee. Results of this study will be presented to the Ministry of Health of Argentina for potential dissemination and scale-up of the intervention programme to the entire national public primary care network in Argentina.

The use of history to identify anterior cruciate ligament injuries in the acute trauma setting: the 'LIMP index'
Authors: Ayre Colin , Hardy Maryann , Scally Andrew , Radcliffe Graham , Venkatesh Ram , Smith Jon , Guy Stephen
Published: February 2017

Objective

To identify the injury history features reported by patients with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries and determine whether history may be used to identify patients requiring follow-up appointments from acute trauma services.

Methods

Multisite cross-sectional service evaluation using a survey questionnaire design conducted in the UK. The four injury history features investigated were ‘leg giving way at the time of injury’, ‘inability to continue activity immediately following injury’, ‘marked effusion’ and ‘pop (heard or felt) at the time of injury’(LIMP).

Results

194 patients with ACL injury were identified, of which 165 (85.5%) attended an acute trauma service. Data on delay was available for 163 (98.8%) of these patients of which 120 (73.6%) had a follow-up appointment arranged. Patients who had a follow-up appointment arranged waited significantly less time for a correct diagnosis (geometric mean 29 vs 198 days; p<0.001) and to see a specialist consultant (geometric mean 61 vs 328 days; p<0.001). Using a referral threshold of any two of the four LIMP injury history features investigated, 95.8% of patients would have had a follow-up appointment arranged.

Conclusions

Findings support the value of questioning patients on specific injury history features in identifying patients who may have suffered ACL injury. Using a threshold of two or more of the four LIMP history features investigated would have reduced the percentage of patients inappropriately discharged by 22.2%. Evidence presented suggests that this would significantly reduce the time to diagnosis and specialist consultation minimising the chance of secondary complications.
What is propensity score modelling?
Authors: Campbell Michael J
Published: February 2017

Propensity score methodology is being increasingly used to try and make inferences about treatments when randomised trials are either impossible or not conducted and the only data are from observational studies. This paper reviews the basis of propensity scores and the current state of knowledge about them. It uses and critiques a current paper in theEmergency Medicine Journalto illustrate the methodology.
Energy-Efficient Scheduling for Embedded Real-Time Systems Using Threshold Work-Demand Analysis
Authors: Niu Linwei , Li Wei
Published: February 2017

In this paper, we study the problem of reducing the energy consumption for hard real-time systems scheduled according to either fixed-priority (FP) or earliest-deadline-first (EDF) scheme. To balance the static and dynamic energy consumptions, the concept of critical speed was proposed in previous research. Moreover, when combined with the processor idle/shutdown state, the critical speed was widely used as the lower bound for voltage scaling in literature. In this paper, we show that this strategy might not always be more energy efficient than the traditional DVS strategy and there exists a dynamic tradeoff between these two strategies depending on the job’s work-demand to be finished within certain intervals. To effectively address this issue, we propose a unified approach that combines these two strategies to achieve better overall energy saving performance. Our approach determines the energy-efficient speeds for real-time jobs in their corresponding feasible intervals based on the threshold work-demand analysis. Our experimental results demonstrate that the proposed techniques significantly outperform previous approaches in the overall energy saving performance.
The Saito–Kurokawa lift and Siegel’s theta series

Published: February 2017

The aim of this paper is to give another short proof of the Saito–Kurokawa lift based on a converse theorem of Imai as was already done by Duke and Imamoglu. In contrast to their proof we avoid spectral analysis but use a real analytic Eisenstein series in a suitable Rankin–Selberg integral involving Siegel’s theta series.
Past, Present, and Future of Integrated Control of Apple Pests: The New Zealand Experience
Authors: Walker James T.S. , Suckling David Maxwell , Wearing C. Howard
Published: February 2017

This review describes the New Zealand apple industry's progression from 1960s integrated pest control research to today's comprehensive integrated pest management system. With the exception of integrated mite control implemented during the 1980s, pest control on apple crops was dominated by intensive organophosphate insecticide regimes to control tortricid leafrollers. Multiple pest resistances to these insecticides by the 1990s, and increasing consumer demand for lower pesticide residues on fruit, led to the implementation of integrated fruit production. This substantially eliminated organophosphate insecticide use by 2001, replacing it with pest monitoring systems, threshold-based selective insecticides, and biological control. More recently, new demands for ultralow-residue fruit have increased the adoption of mating disruption and use of biological insecticides. Widespread adoption of selective pest management has substantially reduced the status of previously important pests, including leafrollers, mealybugs, leafhoppers, and mites for improved phytosanitary performance, and contributed to major reductions in total insecticide use.
A Review on Model of Integrating Renewable Distributed Generation into Bali’s Power Distribution Systems: Issues, Challenges, and Possible Solutions
Authors: Satriya Utama Ngakan Putu , Hartati Rukmi Sari , G. Ariastina Wayan , A. Swamardika Ida Bagus , Penangsang Ontoseno
Published: February 2017

Spurred by a global energy crisis, the use of renewable distributed generation (DG) with solar photovoltaic (PV) energy, micro-hydro power, and biomass power are gaining momentum and play major role in Bali’s distribution system as an alternative distribution system planning option. If distributed generation planning is optimal by selected optimization of multi-objective function under certain operating constraints and then their site and size are also selected optimally, the penetration of DGs is potentially beneficial. This paper would review techno-economic model objective, voltage profile improvement and power losses constraints as well as optimization based model using particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm application in Bali’s distributed generation planning.
The Size and Costs of Bribes in Malaysia: An Analysis Based on Convicted Bribe Givers
Authors: Chong Christine Siew-Pyng , Narayanan Suresh
Published: February 2017

A bribe-giving function was tested for Malaysia using data on 449 convicted bribe givers. Both the size of bribes and the probability of paying a large bribe were found to be positively and significantly associated with the size of fines and length of imprisonment avoided through bribery. Both the size of bribes and the probability of paying a large bribe increased with fines for bribery, however, but decreased with length of imprisonment. Our findings suggest that a reduction in human involvement in apprehending bribe givers, stricter enforcement, higher conviction rates, and more severe punishments could discourage bribes.
Effects of Reading with Adult Tutor/Therapy Dog Teams on Elementary Students’ Reading Achievement and Attitudes
Authors: Levinson Edward M. , Vogt Melanee , Barker William F. , Jalongo Mary Renck , Van Zandt Pat
Published: February 2017

This study assessed the effect of reading aloud to handler/therapy dog teams on children’s oral reading fluency using a post-test control group design with repeated measures. Forty-five children in grades 2-5 were assigned to one of two groups using a stratified random assignment designed to equate groups based on grade and sex. Both groups read aloud for 30 minutes per week for 5 weeks; Group One read with a handler/therapy dog and Group Two read to peers. After 5 weeks, the groups were reversed. Between-group and within-group differences were analyzed. Several statistically significant and large effect sizes were found. Findings generally suggested that reading aloud to an adult/therapy dog team tended to increase children’s scores on a test of oral reading fluency much more than reading aloud to peers. No significant effects were identified on a survey of general attitudes toward reading administered to the children.
Emotions, Character, and Associationist Psychology
Authors: Roberts Robert C. , Pelser Adam C.
Published: February 2017

Emotions are pivotal in the manifestation and functioning of character traits. Traits such as virtues and vices involve emotions in diverse but connected ways. Some virtues (justice, generosity, compassion, truthfulness) are exemplified, in important part, by feeling emotions. Others (self-control, perseverance, courage) are exemplified in managing, bypassing, or even eliminating emotions. And one virtue at least (humility) is exemplified in not-feeling a certain range of emotions. Emotions are a kind of perceptual state, namely construal, involving concern or caring (motivation) about something, in which the elements of a situation are organized and understood in terms of their significance or import. Emotional understanding can be morally right or wrong. As such construals, emotions can be morally excellent (the feeling of joy about a rectified injustice) or perverse (envy and contempt of persons). Emotions thus have a logic or grammar that is crucial to their entering into, or being set upon by, or simply not occurring because of, virtues. The virtuous person is attuned, implicitly or reflectively, to this grammar, and that attunement constitutes one of the major dimensions of practical wisdom. An associationist psychology (behaviorist or Humean) attempts to reduce the conceptual and intentional richness of emotions to mere associations or correlations of pleasant or unpleasant “affect” with various things (behaviors, “values”). Such a psychology is fundamentally unfit to represent practical wisdom, and thus the moral life. We sketch an account of the generation and degeneration of character traits using the above conceptual framework and contrasting it with an associationist framework.
The Origins of the Old Belief in Viatka
Authors: Grishin Evgeny
Published: February 2017

This article examines three different narratives about the origins of the Old Belief in Viatka that represent parallel, rather than mutually exclusive, viewpoints. It scrutinizes the historical accounts of a local Old Believer community, the official documents originating from the Viatka civil and ecclesiastical authorities, and, finally, contemporary scholarly works. Without privileging any of the three views, the article demonstrates crucial disparities in their understanding of what the Old Belief/“Schism” was. It becomes evident that the categories of “Schism” and Old Belief employed in scholarly studies should be reassessed in the light of the historical contexts they emerged and evolved in.
The Cultural Challenge of Climate Change
Authors: Buckland David , Gray Olivia , Wood Lucy
Published: February 2017

This is not a conventional essay and climate change is not a conventional subject. The issue's editors asked David Buckland and colleagues to “discuss the intersection of art and climate change science and specifically the Cape Farewell project's approach to curating and disseminating this intersection online, in gallery spaces, and in print.” Climate change is a future-truth; what humans are doing now will be realized in twenty to thirty years' time. The Cape Farewell project is a creative action-based research program evolved to pave the way for a sustainable future; in a way, it is an ambition to create the cultural equivalent of mathematical modeling—how to map the near future space from a position of culture, not science. This essay explores the genesis and history of the organization and the work it is currently undertaking, ultimately examining how culture can be a powerful tool to engage civic society with the enormous challenge of climate change.
Going Fishing: Activism against Deep Ocean Mining, from the Raukūmara Basin to the Bismarck Sea
Authors: Shewry Teresa
Published: February 2017

Corporations and states are positioning the immensely deep waters and undersea lands of the Pacific Ocean as frontiers that are only just becoming known and important through their efforts to extract fossil fuels, copper, gold, and silver, among other materials. Despite these aggressive attempts to territorialize the ocean as a frontier, seabed mining has become an embattled site in the Pacific, where it is opposed by social movements in specific locales and in networks through the ocean and beyond. In this essay, I explore the art and media activism of these struggles, focusing on Greenpeace photographs of a Te Whānau-ā-Apanui fishing boat crossing a seismic survey ship contracted to Petrobras in the Raukūmara Basin, Aotearoa New Zealand, and Hawaiian artist Joy Enomoto's Nautilus the Protector woodcut prints, in which a nautilus battles mining infrastructure in the Bismarck Sea, Papua New Guinea. Against but also far beyond engaging mining, activists express close connections between people and the ocean, including deep waters and lands, countering mining narratives in which such connections are predicated on physically penetrating into and exposing the depths. Through creative, improvised tactics—such as linking fishing to a struggle against fossil fuel extraction, or using woodcut printing, a fast and cheap media form, to animate different imaginaries against a flood of high-tech corporate representations of the ocean—activists find ways to rework conditions of economic disparity and of aggressive exclusion from proposed mining sites.

Aims

We carried out a further study of the long-term results of the cemented Exeter femoral component in patients under the age of 40 with a mean follow-up of 13.6 years (10 to 20).

Patients and Methods

We reviewed our original cohort of 104 cemented Exeter stems in 78 consecutive patients with a mean age of 31 years (16 to 39). Only one patient was lost to radiological follow-up.

Results

A total of six patients (eight hips) had died for reasons unrelated to their surgery. There had been one further periprosthetic fracture from a fall and one fractured femoral stem. No revisions for aseptic loosening were undertaken during the whole study period. Overall, 11 hips had progressive radiolucent lines in one or more zones. The Kaplan Meier survival percentages at ten and 17 years were 97.1% (95% confidence interval (CI) 91.3 to 99.1) and 92.1% (95% CI 74.1 to 97.8) with revision for any reason as the endpoint, and 100% at both ten and 17 years with aseptic loosening (95% CI 83.8 to 100) as the endpoint. No additional hips were classified as radiologically loose.

Conclusion

The Exeter femoral component continues to function satisfactorily in young patients for up to 17 years after surgery. Cite this article: Bone Joint J 2017;99-B:192–8.
Scan-directed mini-incision focused parathyroidectomy: how accurate is accurate enough?
Authors: Shapey IM , Jabbar S , Khan Z , Nicholson JE , Watson RJ
Published: February 2017

INTRODUCTION

Mini-incision focused parathyroidectomy (MI-FP) is advocated as an alternative to bilateral neck exploration (BNE), owing to its reduced morbidity. The site and side of the affected gland is identified preoperatively using a combination of ultrasound and sestamibi scans. However, the acceptable degree of inter-scan concordance required to prompt MI-FP without compromising accuracy is undetermined.

METHODS

Accuracy of preoperative imaging was determined both individually and in combination for all parathyroidectomies (2007–2014). A grading system (excellent, good, poor) was devised to describe the interscan concordance, which was validated by the operative and histological findings.

RESULTS

Eighty-nine patients (17 male, 68 female) underwent parathyroidectomy (MI-FP 44, BNE 45). The accuracy of scans interpreted individually was 53% for ultrasound and 60% for sestamibi, with no difference according to surgical technique (P = 0.43, P = 1, respectively). The proportion of interscan concordance was: excellent – 35%, good – 40%, poor 25%. Combined accuracy was 100% for both excellent and good grades but only 13% for those graded poor. Similar rates of normocalcaemia were observed for MI-FP and BNE, while postoperative hypocalcaemia was five times higher in those undergoing BNE.

CONCLUSIONS

Reduction in the inter-scan concordance from excellent to good does not compromise accuracy. MI-FP could be successfully performed in up to 75% of patients – 25% higher than recommended in national guidelines. Focused parathyroidectomy does not compromise surgical and endocrinological outcomes but boasts a far superior complication rate.

Published: February 2017

Spongy cryostructurates based on bovine serum albumin (BSA) have been preparedviafreezing the aqueous solutions of the protein followed by freeze-drying and subsequent cross-linking BSA macromolecules each together within the macropore walls using N-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-N′-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC) dissolved in ethanol. The gel-fraction yield values testifies high efficiency (>93%) of the protein building-up into the 3D polymeric network. Poor swelling of the pore walls of BSA-based sponges in water (1–2 g H2O per 1 g of dry polymer) and even in the powerful protein-solubilizing media (8murea, 5mguanidine hydrochloride, 1% SDS) indicates the multipoint character of albumin cross-linkingviathe pendant peptide bonds. As a result, strong cross-linking is able (as revealed by HS-DSC) to inhibit BSA thermal denaturation. The size of wide pores in the obtained cryostructures ranges from 40 to 250 μm and mainly depends on the freezing temperature.
Effect of transgenic insect-resistant maize to the community structure of soil nematodes in two field trials
Authors: Čerevková A. , Cagáň L
Published: February 2017

The aim of this study was to determine the effects of Bt maize hybrid cultivation on soil nematode communities in two field trials, as well as to analyse other factors (fertilisation and moisture) responsible for the community structure of soil nematodes. Nematode communities were studied in maize plots at the locality of Borovce in western Slovakia. During 2012 and 2013, hybrids DK440 and DKC3871 (conventional) or DKC4442YG and DKC3872YG (Bt maize, event MON810) were sown in 10 repetitions each. Nematodes were extracted from soil samples collected at the maize flowering (July 11, 2012 and July 30, 2013). Altogether, 39 nematode species belonged to 35 genera were identified in two maize variants. The dominant taxa in both variants were Acrobeloides nanus, Ce-phalobus persegnis, Aphelenchoides composticola, Aphelenchus avenae, Eudorylaimus carteri and Filenchus vulgaris. Calculation of the maturity index, plant parasitic index, enrichment index and structure index did not confirm any clear influence of year or hybrid type on soil nematode communities. The proportional representation of cp-1, cp-2 and cp-3-5 groups of nematode fauna indicated conditions of low stability and high stress. Faunal profiles representing the structure and enrichment conditions of the soil food web showed an environment with a high C:N ratio and high levels of fungal feeders. Based on the calculation of the metabolic footprint of nematodes in the soil food web, a difference between the isoline maize variant and Bt maize variant in 2012 was found, but this difference was not readily apparent in 2013. The occurrence of nematodes, their abundance, proportion of feeding types and selected ecological indices did not depend on the type of maize hybrid (Bt or non-Bt). Thus, the cultivation of genetically modified maize did not directly influence nematode populations. The application of fertiliser at certain periods does not influence the nematode community. The observed significant higher abundance of nematodes was correlated with soil moisture.
Endoparasites of lizards (Lacertilia) from captive breeding and trade networks
Authors: Okulewicz A. , Kaźmierczak M. , Hildebrand J. , Adamczyk M.
Published: February 2017

Parasitic infections are widespread among exotic lizards and cause serious problems in both private captive breeding and trade networks. Among 168 lizards obtained from captive breeding (Zoological Garden in Wrocław and private owners) and trade (pet shops and wholesale) the total prevalence of endoparasites was 42.35 %. We detected species of Protozoa, Cestoda, Trematoda - Digenea and Nematoda as well as pseudoparasites. The prevalence of endoparasites was higher in the reptiles obtained from captive breeding (59.5 %) than in those from trade network, however the parasite species spectrum was wider in the animals form pet shops and wholesales.
Russia Challenges the West in Ukraine
Authors: Vendil Pallin Carolina
Published: February 2017

Events in Ukraine have made many re-evaluate their view of Russia and suggest new approaches. While there are good reasons to do so, there is also every reason to revisit some old lessons and draw the right conclusions from events further back in time than the annexation of Crimea. First, Russian domestic politics will continue to play a prominent role in deciding Russia’s room for manoeuvre in its security policy. Second, change can only come from within Russia - the West (mainly the US and Europe) will be able to influence events only on the margins and perhaps not always receiving the intended response. Finally, and perhaps at first a bit paradoxically taking the first two points in view, what the West does will matter. It will matter because it will influence developments inside Russia in a long-term perspective if there is an alternative model. But even more importantly, what the West does will decide what position it finds itself in when Russia does change.
Learning from Iraq and Afghanistan: Four Lessons for Building More Effective Coalitions
Authors: White Nathan
Published: February 2017

Despite many tactical and operational successes by brave military and civilian personnel, post-9/11 operations by U.S. led coalitions in Iraq and Afghanistan did not achieve their intended outcomes. Although many efforts are underway by discrete organizations within coalition countries to identify and learn their own lessons from these conflicts, comparatively less attention is paid to broader lessons for successful coalitions. Given that the U.S. and its allies will most certainly form coalitions in the future for a range of different contingency scenarios, these lessons are equally deserving of close examination. This article identifies four interrelated lessons from Iraq and Afghanistan that can be utilized to inform more effective coalition development and employment.

Die DIN EN ISO schreibt daher die Einschätzung und Validierung dieser Messunsicherheit vor. Die Arbeitsgemeinschaft „Richtwerte“ der Deutschen Vereinten Gesellschaft für Klinische Chemie und Laboratoriumsmedizin (DGKL) hat ein Konzept zur Ableitung zulässiger Grenzen für die analytische Impräzision, und die systematische Messabweichung (Bias) aus der Größe der Referenzintervalle unter der Berücksichtigung technischer Standards entwickelt. Analytische Impräzision, systematische Messabweichung und kombinierte Messunsicherheit lassen sich demnach als Funktion der empirischen biologischen Variabilität ausdrücken. Das Konzept beschreibt zudem die Möglichkeit, systematische Messabweichunen durch die Verwendung der laborinternen Referenzintervalle zu vermeiden.
More Cold Case Than Hot Spot

Published: February 2017

How does the public perceive televised political advertising when it is introduced as a completely new element of campaign communications? The European Parliamentary Elections in 2009 may be characterized as the first campaign where such advertising appeared on a larger scale in Sweden, but the National Election Campaign in 2006 was the initial breakthrough for political advertising in television. Two major research questions are raised: First, how can public opinion on such political advertising be described? Second, how are these attitudes related to individual and societal factors? The results indicate that attitudes towards political advertising in Sweden are in line with attitudes towards advertising in general. However, ideological beliefs on the individual level seem to be almost irrelevant. Without being on the political agenda, the political TV-advertising issue is mainly considered from non-political perspectives.

Data records since from 2008 to 2012 show the occurrence of the coral reef bleaching, an increase in population of jellyfish and a decreasing presence of some migratory marine mammals in the Persian Gulf has increased. Results of our biometric methods on jellyfish of the Persian Gulf (Aurelia aurata), show a significant increase in size during the last four years (p < 0.05). Our studies in the area showed that in the sampling areas in close proximity to superhot wastewater of industries cooled in terrestrial pools and then emptied into the sea, the abundance of the Aurelia aurata was significantly lower than in regions where superhot water was directly emptied into the seawater. This paper will review the effects of global warming, especially in the Persian Gulf.

Potensi Zakat Menjadi Bagian Keuangan Negara (Studi Analisis Regulasi Kemungkinan Masuknya Zakat Menjadi Bagian dari Penerimaan dan Pengeluaran Negara)
Authors: Subekan Achmat
Published: February 2017

Zakat merupakan kewajiban setiap umat Islam dalam menjalankan ibadahnya. Di Indonesia hingga dewasa ini, pengelolaan zakat tidak menjadi bagian dari keuangan negara. Sementara itu, zakat memiliki potensi yang besar untuk meningkatkan kesejahteraan masyarakat. Studi ini membahas mengenai kemungkinan adanya ruang bagi zakat untuk masuk menjadi bagian dari keuangan negara ditinjau dari regulasi (peraturan perundang-undangan) yang ada. Pembahasan dilakukan dengan menganalisis dan menghubungkan antarketentuan dalam peraturan perundangan yang terkait. Hasil pembahasan menunjukkan bahwa peraturan perundangan di bidang keuangan negara membuka ruang bagi masuknya zakat sebagai bagian keuangan negara. Bahkan, peraturan perundangan yang ada juga sudah memberikan panduan seperti apa mekanisme yang dapat dijalankan apabila kebijakan masuknya zakat ke dalam keuangan negara diambil oleh Pemerintah.

Abstract: Character Education and its Assessment in Vocational High Schools. Character education is a process of helping people to develop good characters, such as honesty, responsibility, compassion, and self-respect. Character education at school aims to build the student and staff characters and to develop the school culture. The assessment of character education covers that of student and staff characters and the school culture. The assessment of student character can be conducted through classroom-based assessment by teachers. In addition, civic education and religion teachers are supposed to conduct the assessment of student character more thoroughly. The assessment of staff character should be conducted by a school internal team. The school culture may be assessed by a provincial external team. The results of assessment are used to make decisions of student grade promotion and graduation and to improve a character education program. Keywords: education, character education
Зарождение двумерных островков на Si(111) при высокотемпературном эпитаксиальном росте
Authors: Ситников С.В. , Косолобов С.С. , Латышев А.В.
Published: February 2017

Методом in situ сверхвысоковакуумной отражательной электронной микроскопии при высокотемпературном эпитаксиальном росте проведены исследования процесса зарождения двумерных островоков на ультраплоской поверхности Si(111). В интервале температур 900-1180oC экспериментально измерен критический размер (Dcrit) террасы, при достижении которого в центре зарождается двумерный островок, при различных потоках кремния на поверхность. Обнаружено, что Dcrit2 степенным образом зависит от частоты зарождения островков с показателем степени chi=(0.9±0.05) во всем измеренном температурном интервале. Установлено, что кинетика зародышеобразования определяется диффузией адсорбированных атомов кремния вплоть до температуры 1180oC, а минимальный критический размер зародыша соответствует 12 атомам кремния.

Рассмотрено влияние неодномерных эффектов, обусловленных растеканием тока управления в базовом слое, на величину отпирающего тока управления тиристоров на основе 4H-SiC. Показано, что реализующийся в 4H-SiC тиристорах новый механизм переключения приводит к зависимости отпирающего тока управления от параметров тиристора, качественно отличающейся от соответствующей зависимости в традиционных кремниевых тиристорах.

Методами одновременного термического, гравиметрического и масс-спектрометрического анализа выявлены существенные отличия характера десорбции фтора и изменения массы плeночных образцов исходного и частично химически дегидрофторированного ПВДФ при возрастании температуры до 800oС в токе аргона. Для выяснения влияния условий термической обработки на свойства конечного материала проведен нагрев плeнки ПВДФ в форвакууме (0.5 Torr) до 600oС с 40-минутной изотермической выдержкой при максимальной температуре. Методом спектроскопии комбинационного рассеяния проведeн сравнительный анализ молекулярной структуры конечных продуктов высокотемпературной термической обработки всех образцов и показано их сходство. Спектр химически дегидрофторированного образца, не подвергавшегося термическому воздействию, имеет слабую полосу в области 2000-2200 cm-1, характерную для карбиноподобных структур с доминированием полиинового типа.

Изготовлены органические фотовольтаические ячейки с объемным гетеропереходом, в которых в качестве фотоактивного слоя использованы смеси сополимера битиофена или ротаксана на его основе с производным фуллерена РС70ВМ. Определена подвижность носителей заряда в слоях смесей, измерены вольт-амперные характеристики фотовольтаических ячеек и построена диаграмма энергетических уровней компонентов ячейки. Установлено, что компонент полиротаксана-макроцикл-изолирует часть тиофеновых участков макромолекулы, затрудняя транспорт носителей заряда и вызывая большие потери энергии при диссоциации экситонов, и, как следствие, снижая фотовольтаический эффект.

The impact of the nationalisation threat on Zimbabwe’s economy
Authors: Makoni Patricia Lindelwa
Published: February 2017

Internationally, the theme of territorial social responsibility, or territorial networks (CSR-oriented partnerships between local public and private partners) aimed to promote a model of sustainable economic growth, is still little noted. The movement of collective responsibility sees institutions and organisations (public and private, for profit and non-profit) participating in a form of economic development that is socially and environmentally sustainable. In these territories where deeply rooted actors are stimulated to cooperate for the responsible development of the productive system, their combined actions become an effective instrument in the sustainable government of the territory. Based on this consideration, the aim of our research is the evaluation of Italian local governmental initiatives to promote corporate social responsibility through public-private networks (specially focusing on the “Marche Region” case- study). Local governance based on the subsidiarity and the shared values of a spatial and socio-economic community can therefore be interpreted as a possible form of “managing publicly” which is focused on creating values and following the public interest, and operates through their motivations and values. This triggers a path of human governance in which participation, co-planning, and dialogue are not merely slogans but the modus operandi in actors’ processes of creating value.

Published: February 2017

This paper aims to investigate the private placement of equity (PPE) by asset injection in China. It analyzes the influence to shareholders’ wealth and performance in the state-holding listed companies and private-holding listed companies. The key findings of this paper are the shareholders’ wealth and performance increased in the short-term, but decreased in long-term after announcement of asset injection by major shareholders. After asset injection, the state-holding listed companies experience larger decline in the long-term shareholders wealth and performance than private-holding listed companies.
