Characterization of Government Entreprenurial Human Capacity Building and its Impact on Business Profile of Women Entreprenuers in Abia State, Nigeria
Authors: O. M. Iroegbu , L. C. Ubuaru
Published: July 2019

This study evaluated the extent of inclusion and participation of Women in Human capacity Building of a State in Nigeria. One hundred female business owners who graduated from skill acquisition centres of Abia state were randomly sampled to determine access to capacity building programmes, relevance of skills offered in programmes and type of business operation. Results showed that the 30% women affirmation policy as implemented by Abia State Government is an important factor in women entrepreneurial development. The Human Capacity building of Women entrepreneurs are tailored as stop gap. Even as petroleum producing state with strong financial base, her human capacity building strategies lack depth and are less consistent with entrepreneurial goals of women with tertiary level education. Irrespective of the state cosmopolitan status the human capacity building strategies are challenged by male dominated bureaucracy and cultural perception of female roles. A significant number (68% ) of women endorsed government policies. Seventy (70%) percent of women with tertiary education level viewed the skills offered in human capacity building as irrelevant to their training needs and entrepreneurial aspirations.Financial independence and Technology knowledge base influenced choice of business operations. The service sector was observed as the predominant choice of women.Empowerment support facilitation was suggestive of gender disparity in capacity building programmes.

Authors: Li Xiaoyu , Yang Zhibang , Liu Jia , Jiang Ying
Published: July 2019

To form the basis of a respiratory disease model in rats by investigating the microbial distribution and composition in the lower respiratory tracts of normal rats. Methods: DNA was extracted from the intestine, trachea, bronchus and lung samples collected from healthy rats under sterile conditions. The 16S rDNA V4-V5 region was sequenced using Illumina high-throughput technology. Results: The sequencing results showed that there was no significant difference in abundance and species diversity of microbiota between the lower respiratory and the intestine. The microbiota structure analysis showed samples from lungs and intestinal shared similarity. However, the dominant species at the levels of phylum, family, and genus diverged. The similarity analysis showed that the lung microbiota were different from the intestines. The linear discriminant analysis showed significantly different species in different tissues; function prediction also showed different microbiota function in different tissues. Conclusions: These results suggest that bacterial colonization depends on the sample’s anatomical location. The human pathogen Acinetobacter lwoffii was also detected in the rat lower respiratory tract samples.

Screening the new process concepts for pulp mill retrofits with varying capacity constraints
Authors: KANGAS PETTERI
Published: July 2019

A new methodology for screening the potential of new pulp mill concepts as part of retrofits is presented. A generic method for describing different capacity constraints or bottlenecks is given. These constraints are considered in order to illustrate the potential of new concepts applied in different kinds of pulp mills. The presented methodology combines the generality of theoretical reference mills and the specific details of case studies. Results of the study show that the feasibility of different process concepts heavily depends on the limiting factors of a pulp mill. The methodology is a possible tool for scholars and experts to illustrate where new process concepts should be implemented.
Comprehensive fault detection and isolation method applied to a recovery boiler
Authors: EL KOUJOK MOHAMED , AMAZOUZ MOULOUD , POULIN BRUNO
Published: July 2019

Early and accurate detection and isolation of industrial process faults are crucial to avoiding abnormal situations that cause productivity losses. Principal component analysis and reconstruction-based contribution (PCA-RBC) is a popular method used for such tasks. Unfortunately, this method does not guarantee correct fault isolation
in cases where the faulty variables contribute little or do not contribute at all to the main principal components of the PCA model. This is the case, for example, of some pollutant emission levels that do not affect the global performance of a biomass boiler, but that should be maintained below certain thresholds. This paper proposes to adapt
the PCA-RBC method to cope with such limitations. The idea is first to classify the data onto normal and abnormal conditions according to a selected parameter threshold, and then to build a PCA model using the normal dataset. The RBC approach is applied on the abnormal dataset to identify the variables that mostly contribute to the faulty
situations. The proposed method is successfully demonstrated using real data from an industrial case. It is noted that an attempt to develop an accurate predictive model of the selected parameter using projection to latent structures (PLS) was unsuccessful.
How to use alum with cationic dispersed rosin size
Authors: XU LEBO , MYERS JEREMY , HART PETER
Published: July 2019

Retention of cationic dispersed rosin size was studied via turbidity measurements on stock filtrate with different alum and dispersed rosin size dosages. Stock charge characteristics were analyzed using both an analysis of charge demand determined via a streaming current detector and an evaluation of zeta potential of the fibers by streaming potential measurement. The results indicated that an optimum amount of alum existed such that good sizing retention was maintained throughout a wide range of dispersed rosin size dosages. However, when an excessive amount of alum was used and fines and colloidal particles were transitioned from anionic to cationic, the cationic size retention was reduced. Laboratory results were confirmed with a paper machine trial. All data suggested that a stock charge study was necessary to identify optimal alum dosage for a cationic dispersed rosin sizing program.
Psychophysical tests for visual-numerical correlation of whiteness formulas
Authors: SHENDYE AWADHOOT , AKSOY BURAK , FLEMING III PAUL , JOYCE MARGARET
Published: July 2019

Measures of whiteness are important to the paper industry. Such measures must have good correlations with visual observations. In this study, psychophysical tests were conducted to determine if a visual correlation could be found between the International Commission on Illumination (CIE) whiteness formula and a formula previously derived by our group. The lightness value of the substrate has a significant effect on the perception of whiteness, so observer trials were carried out at approximately the same lightness levels. Perceptions of whiteness and their changes with different light sources were studied. Psychophysical tests were conducted using D50 and D65 light sources for visual correlations, under controlled viewing conditions at a 2° field angle. The psychophysical results were then compared with the two formulas. Considering available light sources for observer experiments and the standards used by the graphic arts industry, along with the effect of optical brightening agents on whiteness perception, recommendations for use of a different light source by the paper industry are provided.

Background: Emergence of exotic viral disease like peste des petits ruminants(PPR) possesses a great threat towards successful goat and sheep farming in Bangladesh. Implementation of effective control measures against PPR requires a proper and rapid diagnosis of the disease. Various diagnostic techniques are available for diagnosis of PPR in goats and sheep in Bangladesh. Among these, ELISA is an important technique to diagnose the disease as well as for seromonitoring. However, the ELISA kits that are being used in the country are mostly imported. This study was undertaken to develop an in-house indirect ELISA using local PPR virus isolate as an antigen.Methods: A local isolate of PPR virus (PPRV) was used as an antigen to develop an indirect ELISA kit. Standardization of the optimum antibody, conjugate and virus antigen concentration was performed using chequer-board titration with different dilutions of the reagents. Finally, the developed indirect ELISA kit was used in a pilot study to detect anti-PPRV antibodies in sheep sera samples.Results: A polyclonal antibody based indirect ELISA was developed successfully for the detection of PPRV antibodies. The developed ELISA could detect anti-PPRV antibody in sheep sera sample during our pilot field trial.Conclusions: After robust field validation, the indirect ELISA can be used to determine the antibody titer against PPRV in the field as to monitor the seroconversion after vaccination.

Authors: Hosseinioun Nargess
Published: July 2019

Background: Alzheimer’s disease is a form of dementia, mainly strikes people in their 60 and 70s. While no one cause has been determined, researchers have identified certain factors which may put people at a higher risk of developing the disease. Iran’s Alzheimer Association has announced that more than 35% of people over 80 years old suffers from this problem across the country. This paper aims to investigate modifiable risk factors of Alzheimer’s disease based on Kaplan-Meier estimator and Cox regression analysis (proportional hazard model) and to find out which factors are related to developing of this disease.

Materials & methods: Residents newly admitted to nursing homes with a diagnosis of probable Alzheimer’s disease have been considered. Patients were at least 75 years of age from 9 Medicare/ Medicaid certified nursing homes of Khorasan and Tehran states and we excluded patients with a history of mental retardation, mental illness or any other long-life mental health disorders. This strategy yielded a sample of 115 patients (37 Males and 78 Females) with total death rate of 47%.

Results: Our findings demonstrate that Age, Gender, Heritage, Apoplexy, Mental and Physical Activities statistically affect Survival and also Hazard Rate, In contrast, we found no link between survival duration and a history of Addiction and Blood Pressure.

Conclusions: These findings have implications for clinical practice and intervention strategies in medical and public health.

Published: July 2019

Situs yang merupakan bekas gereja All Saints yang terletak di area Fishergate (York) ini dapat menjadi contoh situs yang memberikan informasi mengenai tingkat preservasi sisa manusia di wilayah Inggris. Ekskavasi tahun 2007-2008 berhasil menemukan ratusan individu yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini, dibantu dengan metode metode yang berkaitan dengan statistik untuk mengetahui frekuensi dan indeks preservasi anatomis dari masing-masing individu. Metode-metode ini diharapkan dapat memberinformasi mengenai tingkat representasi dan preservasi elemen rangka serta mendapatkan informasi bagaimana faktor lokasi, periode penguburan, dan kategori usia serta jenis kelamin dapat mempengaruhi tingkat preservasi tersebut. Tingkat preservasi sisa manusia berkaitan erat dengan faktor-faktor seperti lokasi penguburan, kedalaman penguburan, dan juga usia mati individu yang bersangkutan. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa tulang-tulang panjang seperti tibia dan fibula memiliki tingkat preservasi yang tinggi yang dibutuhkan untuk bertahan dari gejalagejala tafonomi yang terjadi setelah penguburan. Kondisi ini dapat terjadi pada tulang yang berstruktur kuat dan berukuran besar, jika dibandingkan dengan tulang-tulang seperti tulang pergelangan tangan dan kaki, tulang-tulang jari, dan hyoid yang berukuran kecil. Analisis juga menunjukkan bahwa individu yang dikuburkan di areal dalam gereja memiliki tingkat preservasi yang lebih baik jika dibandingkan dengan individu yang dikuburkan di areal luar gereja. Individu-individu pada sampel yang berasal dari periode Romano-British menunjukkan tingkat preservasi yang lebih tinggi. Hal ini berkaitan dengan kedalaman letak kubur dari permukaan tanah. Sementara itu, perbandingan antara usia mati antara individu-individu sampel menunjukkan bahwa sisa individu berusia dewasa terpreservasi lebih baik jika dibandingkan dengan sisa individu yang berusia kanak-kanak. Penelitian mengenai tafonomi sisa manusia ini hanyalah bersifat penelitian tahap awal, sehingga ada baiknya dilakukan penelitian lebih lanjut.

Determining the root of an equation means making the equation equal zero, (f (f) = 0). In engineering, there are often complex mathematical equations. With the numerical method approach, the equation can be searching for the value of the equation root. However, to find a double root approach with several numerical methods such as the bisection method, regulatory method, Newton-Raphson method, and Secant method, it is not efficient in determining multiple roots. This study aims to determine the roots of non-linear equations that have multiple roots using the modified Secant method. Besides knowing the effect of determining the initial value for the Secant method that is modifying in determining the non-linear root of persistence that has multiple roots. Comparisons were also make to other numerical methods in determining twin roots with the modified Secant method. A comparison is done to determine the initial value used. Simulations are performing on equations that have one single root and two or more double roots.

Data security for computer users is increasingly becoming a concern because it is increasingly vulnerable to illegal access even though the file has been protected with a password. This is possible with the increasing number of applications aimed at hacking owner protection. Artificial neural network that was appointed in this study is one part of computer vision, which in this study is intended to make computers able to "see" through a webcam and recognize that face has access rights to the selected file. So that computers can distinguish facial images, it needs to be trained by applying the back propagation method. The reason for choosing facial recognition is because each person has a different face, so that it can be a more effective security key than conventional methods of making or accessing files that are on a computer.

A food and beverage booth owner who sells alongside the road, has difficulty when opening and closing the booth also when the rain comes suddenly - suddenly the owner has difficulty protecting electronic equipment from rainwater which can cause a short circuit, because the process is still done manually. To overcome this problem, a system with a microcontroller circuit using Arduino Uno and a DC motor can be made that can open and close the booth with a push button command that can facilitate the process which is still done manually and with a rain sensor circuit that can detect rain as an order to close the front of the booth to protect electronic equipment from rainwater. This system is implemented in an intelligent booth prototype to test whether the algorithm made can overcome the problems experienced by the booth owner.
Effect of Import Tariff on U.S. Welfare
Authors: Adhikari Ph.D. Deergha Raj
Published: July 2019

Last year, the Trump administration imposed import tariffs of 10 and 25 percent on the import of steel and aluminium respectively. The administration also imposed an additional tariff on more than $200 billion worth of imports from China. In this study, we examine the welfare impact of such tariffs on the U.S. welfare in general. We apply Ju and Krishna’s (2003) sufficient condition for trade reform to be welfare enhancing and test the condition using an import function. The sufficient condition for a trade policy (i.e. the import tariff) to be welfare improving as laid out by them requires that the value of import be higher than that before tariffs when the value of import before and after both are evaluated at post-tariff prices. Based on this condition, we develop an import function, in which the value of U.S. import (IMt) is a function of import price index (IPIt) and U.S. real GDP (URGDPt). If the coefficient associated with IPI turns out to be positive and significant, then we conclude that the rise in import price including that due to the import tariff, will increase the value of import satisfying the sufficient condition for welfare improvement, which leads us to conclude that the import tariff has improved U.S. welfare.

We estimated our model using Vector Error Correction technique. In the long run equation, the coefficient associated with the variable 〖IPI〗_(t-1) is found to be negative and significant at 5% significance level, implying that an increase in import price caused by a tariff will lower the value of import in the long run. In the short-run equation, on the other hand, the coefficients associated with the variables 〖ΔIPI〗_(t-1) and 〖ΔIPI〗_(t-2) both turned out to be positive but insignificant, which implies that any tariff-raised increase in import price will have no effect on the value of import in the short run failing to satisfy the sufficient condition. Therefore, we conclude that the import tariff currently imposed by the United States may not improve U.S. welfare and may rather worsen it in the long run.
The Private Income Tax Shock Premium
Authors: Todorova Zornitsa
Published: July 2019

This paper investigates the asset pricing implications of tax policy changes. News about tax cuts decreases future tax revenues and increases future consumer demand and output. Using cross-sectional variation in industry exposure to structurally identified tax news, I develop a factor mimicking private income tax shocks. I construct an investment strategy, which generates annualized risk-adjusted returns of 5.16 % over the Fama-French 3-factor model. I rationalize the finding by arguing that firms with more elastic demands bear higher consumption risk, which works through a wealth effect.
The Mathematics of Continuous Multiplicities: The Role of Riemann in Deleuze's Reading of Bergson
Authors: Widder Nathan
Published: July 2019

A central claim of Deleuze's reading of Bergson is that Bergson's distinction between space as an extensive multiplicity and duration as an intensive multiplicity is inspired by the distinction between discrete and continuous manifolds found in Bernhard Riemann's 1854 thesis on the foundations of geometry. Yet there is no evidence from Bergson that Riemann influences his division, and the distinction between the discrete and continuous is hardly a Riemannian invention. Claiming Riemann's influence, however, allows Deleuze to argue that quantity, in the form of ‘virtual number’, still pertains to continuous multiplicities. This not only supports Deleuze's attempt to redeem Bergson's argument against Einstein in Duration and Simultaneity, but also allows Deleuze to position Bergson against Hegelian dialectics. The use of Riemann is thereby an important element of the incorporation of Bergson into Deleuze's larger early project of developing an anti-Hegelian philosophy of difference. This article first reviews the role of discrete and continuous multiplicities or manifolds in Riemann's Habilitationsschrift, and how Riemann uses them to establish the foundations of an intrinsic geometry. It then outlines how Deleuze reinterprets Riemann's thesis to make it a credible resource for Deleuze's Bergsonism. Finally, it explores the limits of this move, and how Deleuze's later move away from Bergson turns on the rejection of an assumption of Riemann's thesis, that of ‘flatness in smallest parts’, which Deleuze challenges with the idea, taken from Riemann's contemporary, Richard Dedekind, of the irrational cut.
Transversal Polyphonies: A Reflection with Miguel D. Norambuena on Félix Guattari's Trip to Chile
Authors: Varas Paulina E.
Published: July 2019

This article is based on a series of conversations with the social psychologist Miguel D. Norambuena regarding Félix Guattari's visit to Chile in 1991. The conversation deals with different events, ranging from the process of dictatorial repression in Chile with the political exile of Miguel D., experiences of intersection between Chilean revolutionary processes and the experiences of May 1968, as well as forms of production of subjectivity in the neoliberal scenario of the 1980s. Different tools for practical reflection take place in this dialogue, from the collective listening that David Cooper developed on the outskirts of Paris, Guattari's seminars at his home or the visits to the La Borde clinic, Guattari's trip to Chile and the publication of the books Cartografías del deseo (1989) and El devenir de la subjetividad (1998) in Chile. Finally, the experience of the Daily Life Clinic currently being developed by Miguel D. in Geneva is addressed as part of a process of subjective ecosophic creation.
Duration, Compression, Extension and Distortion of Time in Contemporary Transgender Cinema
Authors: Ford Akkadia
Published: July 2019

Cinema provides ‘privileged access’ ( Zubrycki 2011 ) into trans lives, recording and revealing private life experiences and moments that might never be seen, nor heard and after the time had passed, only present in memory and body for the individuals involved. Film, a temporal medium, creates theoretical issues, both in the presentation and representation of the trans body and for audiences in viewing the images. Specific narrative, stylistic and editing techniques including temporal disjunctions, may also give audiences a distorted view of trans bodily narratives that encompass a lifetime. Twenty first century cinema is simultaneously creating and erasing the somatechnical potentialities of trans. This article will explore temporal techniques in relation to recent trans cinema, comparing how three different filmmakers handle trans narratives. Drawing upon recent films including the Trans New Wave ( Ford 2014 , 2016a , 2016b ), such as the experimental animated autoethnographic short film Change Over Time (Ewan Duarte, United States, 2013), in tandem with the feature film 52 Tuesdays (Sophia Hyde, Australia, 2013), I will analyse the films as texts which show how filmmakers utilise temporality as a narrative and stylistic technique in cinematic trans narratives. These are texts where cinematic technologies converge with trans embodiment in ways that are constitutive of participants and audiences' understanding of trans lives. This analysis will be contrasted with the use of temporal displacement as a cinematic trope of negative affect, disembodiment and societal disjunction in the feature film Predestination (The Spierig Brothers, Australia, 2014), providing a further basis for scholarly critique of cinematic somatechnics in relation to the trans body.

Los recuerdos de la infancia: una técnica proyectiva en la Psicoterapia Adleriana
Authors: Shaked Annabella
Published: July 2019

Los recuerdos en general, y los recuerdos de la infancia en particular, son parte de la identidad personal y de la continuidad del sentido del ser. Los recuerdos representan una narrativa coherente y estable, que conecta el pasado con el presente y cuya función es preparar al individuo para enfrentar el futuro. Según la Psicología Individual de Alfred Adler, el significado de los recuerdos de la infancia no es histórico sino proyectivo, y se encuentra en el presente y no en el pasado. Tratados como metáforas descriptivas del pasado, los RI revelan información sobre el estado emocional del paciente, y sobre su perspectiva sobre sí mismo y sobre la vida. Este artículo presenta el fundamento teórico y el contexto para el uso de los recuerdos de la infancia como técnica proyectiva en la psicoterapia, e introduce una perspectiva integrativa para su análisis e incorporación en el curso del tratamiento.
Negociar luchas de poder abiertas y tácitas en la terapia de pareja: un ejemplo de caso
Authors: Schürer Yvonne
Published: July 2019

Encontrar la manera de involucrar a la pareja en hacerse más receptiva a las necesidades del otro puede ser un gran reto en la terapia de pareja, al igual que en aprender estrategias más eficaces de resolución de conflictos. Mediante un estudio de caso, se ilustra una forma estructurada y a la vez flexible de conducir el diálogo con los pacientes, y cómo el terapeuta puede dar sentido al caos aparente y, a continuación, facilitar y promover el entendimiento mutuo y la receptividad de la pareja en conflicto. La base teórica de este enfoque para la resolución de conflictos es la Psicología Individual de Alfred Adler. Conceptos como el arraigo social y la necesidad de pertenencia, sentimientos de inferioridad, y los esfuerzos para compensar los sentimientos de inferioridad se abordan desde la perspectiva de la relación de pareja. El enfoque descrito proporciona una técnica para el descubrimiento y la negociación de las luchas de poder intrínsecas a los conflictos de la pareja, y muestra cómo los cónyuges pueden encontrar el valor para relacionarse de una manera que concilia las necesidades personales con las del otro y las de la relación.

Published: July 2019

Breast cancer affects millions of women worldwide, leading to many deaths and significant economic burden. Although there are numerous treatment options available, the huge potentials of immunotherapy in the management of localized and metastatic breast cancer is currently being explored. However, there are significant gaps in understanding the complex interactions between the immune system and breast cancer. The immune system can be pro-tumorigenic and anti-tumorigenic depending on the cells involved and the conditions of the tumor microenvironment. In this review, we discuss current knowledge of breast cancer, including treatment options. We also give a brief overview of the immune system and comprehensively highlight the roles of different cells of the immune system in breast tumorigenesis, including recent research discoveries. Lastly, we discuss some immunotherapeutic strategies for the management of breast cancer.

The interaction between tumor cells and the immune system is considered to be a dynamic process. Dendritic cells (DCs) play a pivotal role in anti-tumor immunity owing to their outstanding T cell activation ability. Their functions and activities are broad ranged, triggering different mechanisms and responses to the DC subset. Several studies identified in situ human tumor-infiltrating DCs by immunostaining using a limited number of markers. However, considering the heterogeneity of DC subsets, the identification of each subtype present in the immune infiltrate is essential. To achieve this, studies initially relied on flow cytometry analyses to provide a precise characterization of tumor-associated DC subsets based on a combination of multiple markers. The concomitant development of advanced technologies, such as mass cytometry or complete transcriptome sequencing of a cell population or at a single cell level, has provided further details on previously identified populations, has unveiled previously unknown populations, and has finally led to the standardization of the DCs classification across tissues and species. Here, we review the evolution of tumor-associated DC description, from in situ visualization to their characterization with high-dimensional technologies, and the clinical use of these findings specifically focusing on the prognostic impact of DCs in cancers.
Complementary and Integrative Management of Pediatric Lower Urinary Tract Dysfunction Implemented within an Interprofessional Clinic
Authors: Morgan Kathryn E. , Leroy Susan V. , Corbett Sean T. , Shepard Jaclyn A.
Published: July 2019

Lower urinary tract dysfunction in children is a common multifactorial functional problem that often correlates with bowel dysfunction and behavioral disorders. Ideal management combines integrative therapies that optimize bladder and bowel habits, address behavioral issues, foster mind–body connection, and improve pelvic floor muscle dysfunction. Movement therapies that teach diaphragmatic breathing and relaxation, mind–body awareness, and healthy pelvic floor muscle function are vital for long-term symptom improvement in children. This paper outlines recommendations for integrative management of these patients and discusses a recently developed interprofessional clinic that aims to better meet these patients’ complex needs and to provide patients with an integrated holistic plan of care. Additional work is needed to scientifically assess these treatment models and educate providers across the various disciplines that evaluate and treat these patients.
