Authors: Velimirovic Mina , Bojanic Marija , Dinic Bojana
Published: September 2022

Previous studies have shown that exposure to adverse life events is positively associated with a tendency towards antisocial behavior. However, results concerning relationships between antisocial behaviour and internal factors, such as personality traits, are not so consistent. The present study aimed to examine the effects of negative life events and Dark Tetrad traits (narcissism, Machiavellianism, psychopathy, and sadism) on different antisocial behaviors, including norm-breaking, aggression, vandalism, and drug use. The sample included 221 high school students (66% females) from three cities in Serbia. Results showed that negative life events significantly predicted norm-breaking, aggression, and vandalism, while such life events? power to predict drug use ceased once the dark traits were added to the regression model. In the case of dark traits, narcissism, psychopathy, and sadism positively predicted norm-breaking and aggression, while sadism also predicted vandalism. Machiavellianism did not significantly predict any of the antisocial behaviors. ?he results suggest that norm-breaking is largely explained by both negative life events and personality traits. Aggression, on the other hand, is better explained by personality traits. Finally, the examined factors contribute much less to the explanation of vandalism and drug use.The results are discussed in the context of possible prevention of antisocial behavior in adolescents.
Private Information Acquisition via Freedom of Information Act Requests Made to the Securities and Exchange Commission

Published: September 2022

There is limited evidence about when, why, and which individuals incur costs to acquire nonpublic information about a firm, largely due to the difficulty of observing private information acquisition. To overcome this difficulty, we obtain data on Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). We predict and find that perceived information asymmetry between managers and outsiders resulting from both proprietary and agency costs triggers FOIA search. We categorize organizations making FOIA requests using their business descriptions and find that many, including law and intellectual property firms, are not expressly interested in obtaining information for near-term equity trading. Instead, their search activity relates to determinants beyond financial characteristics, including patent litigation and executive turnover. Taken together, we provide evidence on private information search by a relatively unexamined set of organizations and shed new light on the function of the SEC’s Office of FOIA Services.

ОЦЕНКА КАЧЕСТВА ЧЕЛОВЕЧЕСКОГО ПОТЕНЦИАЛА МОЛОДЕЖИ ДАЛЬНЕГО ВОСТОКА КАК СТАРТОВОЕ УСЛОВИЕ СТРАТЕГИИ УНИВЕРСИТЕТОВ ПО РАБОТЕ С ТАЛАНТАМИ
Authors: Кузнецова Алла
Published: September 2022

В статье излагаются результаты первого этапа исследования организационных условий влияния университетов на повышение человеческого потенциала Дальнего Востока, а именно - изучения состояния качества человеческого потенциала детей и молодежи Дальневосточного федерального округа в аспекте одаренности и высоких достижений как основы для выстраивания стратегий вузов по работе с талантами. На основе сравнительного анализа данных об уровне образования, об образовательных достижениях обучающихся, качестве образования, о развитии демографических процессов на Дальнем Востоке и в других территориях России сделаны выводы о причинах сравнительно более низких характеристик человеческого развития региона в аспекте одаренности: низкая доступность для жителей региона возможностей демонстрации своих достижений в местах проведения значимых мероприятий, возможностей общения с высокопотенциальными сверстниками из центральных регионов; недостаточно эффективная региональная образовательная политика в части выявления, поддержки и сопровождения одаренных детей и молодежи; недостаточная квалификация их наставников по причине удаленности от культурных и научных центров, ограниченной возможности участия в обмене опытом и повышении квалификации у лидеров отрасли; особенности демографических процессов - неравноценная в количественном и качественном отношении замена убывающего населения с более высоким уровнем образования и квалификации на прибывающее население с более низким уровнем образования и квалификации.
Alice Walker’s Treatment of Bildungsroman in The Novel “The Color Purple”
Authors: Raj V. Sahithi
Published: September 2022

Author, poet, essayist, biographer, and activist, Alice Malsenior Walker is a multi-faceted African-American literary figure. This Pulitzer Prize-winning author has written extensively about racial and gender problems. Her best-known work is The Color Purple (which won her the Pulitzer Prize for fiction). Alice Walker's personal experiences as a representative of African American women authors have influenced her distinct psychological perspective. In her work, she often employs the symbolism that is popular in dark literary works. Presently in domestic academia, there are only a small number of research on the novel's creative features and expression approaches that concentrate only on the novel's symbolic meanings of the colour picture. The book has an overall focus on the construction of language, the execution of voice, the evaluation of sexual orientation, and the redefining of identity of the narrative's female characters, particularly heroine Celie. The Bildungsroman thesis states that a character's environment, experiences, issues, and oppression all contribute to his or her psychological strength. A bildungsroman is a novel that aims to mould the reader's mind and soul via their experiences in the world. She draws inspiration from Alice Walker's The Color Purple.

Altitude Factors Affect Dengue Fever Cases in South Sulawesi: A Study Using Poisson Inverse Gaussian Regression Model
Authors: Adiatma Adiatma , Tohari Amin , Faisal Ali , Alam Syamsul
Published: September 2022

Poisson regression is used to model enumeration data such as data on the number of DHF cases. This model has the assumption that is fulfilled is the average and the variance must have the same value or it is called the equidispersion. But this assumption is not fulfilled because the data on the number of dengue cases experienced violations of this assumption. The violation is that the average value is smaller than the variance value or it is called overdispersion. This results in incorrect conclusions because the prediction standard error is underestimated. The way to prevent this is by combining the Poisson distribution and discrete or continuous distribution, this combination is called Mixed Poisson Distribution. Researchers use one of the Mixed Poisson methods, namely Inverse Gaussian Poisson Regression (PIG) because the method is used when the data is overdispersed and the parameters are known or close form on the likelihood function. Based on the results of the study, it is known that the height of the area   is a factor that significantly influences DHF cases in South Sulawesi.

Published: September 2022

Nowadays, Optical Character recognition is one of the affected tools for recognition the plate of car from a still video or image in the intelligent transportation systems. The Optical Character Recognition accuracy incompletely depends on the input image quality. In this article,  two efficient approaches are proposed to enhance the quality of the car plate image selected from video clips. To minimize the error rate the proposed technique is used even at low resolution image. Maximum, and median filters are used in this work to enhance the quality of image. These technique extend to collect the pixels of the consecutive frames of the video in filtering approaches. The error rate of the OCR is tested on fifty road and street video clips by decreasing the resolution of the images and filtering them with common and proposed filtering methods. The test results indicate that both proposed methods, improve the accuracy of OCR, and the highest reduction of error is obtained by the proposed temporal maximum filtering method.

Obezite, dünya çapında yaygın olan en önemli yaşam tarzı bozukluklarından biridir. Artan obezite oranı, tiroid disfonksiyonu,

dislipidemi, hormonal dengesizlik vb. hastalıkların ortaya çıkması ile ilişkilidir. Obezite, kalp hastalığı, ateroskleroz, insülin direnci,

artrit, kas-iskelet sistemi bozuklukları ve kanser için risk faktörüdür.

Bu makale, obezitenin dislipidemi, diyabet, hormonal dengesizlik ve hipotiroidizm ile ilişkisine dair içgörüler sunmaktadır. Leptin,

insülin, seks hormonları ve büyüme hormonları iştahı, metabolizmayı ve vücut yağ dağılımını etkilediğinden hormonların aşırı veya

yetersiz salınımı obeziteye yol açabilir. Makale, metabolik düzensizliğin obezite ile ilişkisi ve ilgili hastalıkların daha da geliştirilmesi

hakkında bir inceleme sunmaktadır. Bu makale aynı zamanda diyet liflerinin ve balık proteininin metabolik değişiklikler, hormonal

dengesizlik ve obezite ile ilişkili hiperlipidemi üzerindeki etkilerini de özetlemektedir.

Bu makale, obezite ile ilgili bozuklukları yönetmek için yararlı olan lif ve diyet protein tüketimi gibi diyet müdahalesinin rolünü

detaylandırdı. Potansiyel nutrasötik ürünler sık besin kaynakları olarak tüketilmektedir. Yine de, kaliteli insan klinik deney verileri

eksiktir, bu da nutrasötiklerin güvenliğini ve etkinliğini değerlendirmek için önemli bilimsel çalışmalara ihtiyaç olduğunu gösterir.
