Impact of Individual Stock Derivatives Introduction in India on Its Underlying Spot Market Volatility
Authors: Nandy (Pal) Suparna , Chattopadhyay Arup Kr.
Published: February 2017

This study has made an attempt to examine the impact of the introduction of derivative trading in individual stocks of different market capitalisations that are listed in NSE representing different industrial sectors of the Indian economy using the generalised autoregressive conditional heteroscedastic (GARCH)( p, q) model. This article contributes to existing literature first, by examining the effect of derivative introduction on return volatility of stocks of different market capitalisations. Second, while in earlier studies effect of derivative introduction on return volatility has been examined only on derivative related stocks, in this article it is examined both on derivative-related and derivative-unrelated stocks. Third, the article also examines the impact of derivative trading on stocks of different industrial sectors of the Indian economy. From the result of the study, we find that volatilities of stock returns have declined due to the introduction of derivatives trading on most of the individual large-cap stocks considered in the study, which are all derivative-related stocks. Though we find decrease in return volatilities of all the derivative-unrelated mid-cap stocks in our study, the results of the derivative-related mid-cap stocks are found to be mixed. In case of small-cap stocks, the results indicate a decrease in return volatilities of most of the derivative-related and derivative-unrelated stocks considered in the study. Moreover, there is evidence of volatility reduction for almost all the derivative-unrelated stocks. We find no significant sectoral differences while examining the impact of derivatives trading on return volatilities of stocks representing different sectors of the Indian economy.
Disruptions in strategic infrastructure planning – What do they mean for sustainable development?
Authors: Malekpour Shirin , Brown Rebekah R , de Haan Fjalar J
Published: February 2017

The vision of sustainable development remains difficult to realize in practice. Processes of strategic planning for public infrastructure represent a major challenge, as, in many cases, they return unsustainable investment solutions. Research offers certain planning methodologies to improve the prospects of sustainable investments. However, very little is understood about how planning processes are undertaken in practice, and what problems in the procedural aspects of planning – termed “planning disruptions” in this paper – lead to deviations from the vision of sustainable development in infrastructure investments. This study scrutinizes the current scope of planning methodologies through the empirical case of a water supply augmentation in Melbourne, Australia. We derive a typology of planning disruptions which offers initial ingredients for a diagnostic tool to explore planning problems in the context of sustainable development. We also suggest making the current scope of planning methodologies more robust, by developing interventions that explicate and prepare for potential disruptions.
Pre-flight evaluation of adult patients with cystic fibrosis: a cross-sectional study
Authors: Edvardsen Elisabeth , Akerø Aina , Skjønsberg Ole Henning , Skrede Bjørn
Published: February 2017

Background

Air travel may imply a health hazard for patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) due to hypobaric environment in the aircraft cabin. The objective was to identify pre-flight variables, which might predict severe hypoxaemia in adult CF patients during air travel.

Methods

Thirty adult CF-patients underwent pre-flight evaluation with spirometry, arterial oxygen tension (PaO2), pulse oximetry (SpO2) and cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) at sea level (SL). The results were related to the PaO2 obtained during a hypoxia-altitude simulation test (HAST) in which a cabin altitude of 2438 m (8000 ft) was simulated by breathing 15.1% oxygen.

Results

Four patients fulfilled the criteria for supplemental oxygen during air travel (PaO2 HAST < 6.6 kPa). While walking slowly during HAST, another eleven patients dropped below PaO2 HAST 6.6 kPa. Variables obtained during CPET (PaO2 CPET, SpO2 CPET, minute ventilation/carbon dioxide output, maximal oxygen uptake) showed the strongest correlation to PaO2 HAST.

Conclusions

Exercise testing might be of value for predicting in-flight hypoxaemia and thus the need for supplemental oxygen during air travel in CF patients.

Constructing the Global History of the Knights of Labor
Authors: Parfitt Steven
Published: February 2017

The Knights of Labor became one of the great global working-class movements of the nineteenth century between 1880 and 1900, extending from New Zealand to Belgium, Scotland to South Africa. That story, however, has been told only in fragments, on local, regional, and national levels. No truly global history of the Knights of Labor yet exists. This article brings together what historians have so far uncovered of their activities outside Canada and the United States, provides an outline of what their global history might look like, and shows how that history enriches our understanding of national labor histories across the world and of the Knights themselves in their American home. Finally, this article addresses the wide range of historical topics that would benefit from such a global history, including labor and imperial history and the construction of gender and color lines on an international scale during the nineteenth century.
Shape Effect of MnOx-Decorated CeO2 Catalyst in Diesel Soot Oxidation
Authors: Mori Kohsuke , Miyauchi Yusuke , Kuwahara Yasutaka , Yamashita Hiromi
Published: February 2017

A series of MnOx-decorated CeO2 (MnCeO) catalysts with different morphologies have been prepared by the shape-controlled synthesis of single-crystalline CeO2, such as nanorod, nanoparticle, and nanocube, by a hydrothermal method followed by the deposition of MnOx phase by a simple impregnation method. Their shape-dependent physicochemical properties were investigated by means of XRD, BET, UV–vis, HRTEM, XPS, TPR and oxygen storage/release properties measurements. The MnOx/CeO2 nanorod (MnCeO-NR) showed prominent carbon soot combustion activity at lower temperature under tight contact mode with a T50 temperature of 317 °C, which is attributed to larger surface area and higher oxygen release rate, as compared with particle and cubic catalysts. MnCeO-NR also exhibited higher catalytic activity (a shift of T50 by 127 °C) in NO-assisted soot combustion under a loose contact mode. Not only the higher surface area but also the superior NO conversion ability at low temperature as well as greater NO absorption contributes to the improved catalytic activities. The MnCeO-NR further displayed high stability and satisfactory recyclability without significant loss of catalytic activity. The use of cheaper combinations without noble metals makes the MnOx/CeO2 catalyst a promising candidate to satisfy future requirements in industry.

A Unified Framework for the Scheduling of Guaranteed Targeted Display Advertising Under Reach and Frequency Requirements
Authors: Hojjat Ali , Turner John , Cetintas Suleyman , Yang Jian
Published: February 2017

Motivated by recent trends in online advertising and advancements made by online publishers, we consider a new form of contract that allows advertisers to specify the number of unique individuals that should see their ad (reach) and the minimum number of times each individual should be exposed (frequency). We develop an optimization framework that aims for minimal under-delivery and proper spread of each campaign over its targeted demographics. As well, we introduce a pattern-based delivery mechanism that allows us to integrate a variety of interesting features into a website’s ad allocation optimization problem that have not been possible before. For example, our approach allows publishers to implement any desired pacing of ads over time at the user level or control the number of competing brands seen by each individual. We develop a two-phase algorithm that employs column generation in a hierarchical scheme with three parallelizable components. Numerical tests with real industry data show that our algorithm produces high-quality solutions and has promising run-time and scalability. Several extensions of the model are presented, e.g., to account for multiple ad positions on the webpage or randomness in the website visitors’ arrival process.

Published: February 2017

O direito à saúde é um direito fundamental. Várias iniciativas no âmbito da Assembleia Geral da ONU e no Conselho de Direitos Humanos reforçam esse pensamento. Neste particular, a criação da UNITAID, em 2006, foi uma forma de facilitar o acesso a medicamentos a populações mais pobres utilizando fontes inovadoras de financiamento. A instituição, hospedada pela Organização Mundial da Saúde (OMS), busca melhores formas de prevenir, tratar e diagnosticar o HIV/AIDS, a tuberculose e a malária de forma mais rápida, eficaz e acessível, buscando conciliar a discussão de patentes com o direito inalienável à saúde. O artigo analisa o processo político e as negociações que levaram à Declaração de Doha sobre TRIPS e Saúde Pública, cuja importância é destacada, entre outros, pelos Objetivos de Desenvolvimento Sustentável aprovado por todos os Chefes de Estado das Nações Unidas.ABSTRACTThe right to health is a fundamental, inalienable human right. A number of initiatives within the UN General Assembly and the Human Rights Council reinforce this concept. Established in 2006 and hosted by the World Health Organization (WHO), UNITAID is engaged in finding new ways to prevent, treat and diagnose HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria more quickly, more cheaply and more effectively. It plays an important role in the global effort to defeat these lethal diseases, by facilitating and speeding up the availability of improved health tools and trying to reconcile patent protection with the right to health.  The article analyzes the political process and the negotiations which led up to the Doha Declaration on TRIPS and Public Health, whose importance – among others – is highlighted on the Sustainable Development Objectives approved by all United Nations Heads of State.Palavras-chave: UNITAID, acesso a medicamentos, saúde global, TRIPS, Doha.Keywords: UNITAID, access to medicines, global health, TRIPS, Doha.DOI: 10.12957/rmi.2016.27034Recebido em 28 de dezembro de 2016 | Received on December 28, 2016.

Individual and institutional predictors of faculty mentoring undergraduate researchers: Findings from a multi-institutional research collaboration
Authors: Davis Shannon N.
Published: February 2017

Undergraduate research is an experience that cultivates creative and intentional learners in and out of the classroom. Using unique data from an online survey of faculty members at three diverse colleges and universities, we investigate the individual and institutional factors that facilitate or inhibit faculty members’ willingness to provide undergraduates with research opportunities.  We focus our analysis on individual and institutional explanations for faculty participation or non-participation as a research mentor to one or more undergraduates.  We examine the influence of demographic (e.g., gender, race, tenure status, discipline) and institutional characteristics (e.g., type of institution, perceived institutional supports) to statistically model the likelihood that faculty members had previously mentored undergraduates in independent research projects. We draw upon these findings to discuss implications for institutions desiring to increase student (and therefore faculty) undergraduate research experience.
Índice de qualidade de uso da água subterrânea (E-IQUAS): aplicação para comunicar o estado da água em dois estudos de caso - Camaçari (BA) e Verdelândia (MG)
Authors: Almeida Rosa Alencar Santana de , Oliveira Iara Brandão de
Published: February 2017

O Índice de Qualidade de Uso da Água Subterrânea (e-IQUAS) tem as seguintes características: é flexível na seleção de parâmetros; pode ser aplicado para múltiplos usos da água; utiliza padrões de qualidade recomendados mundialmente; pode ser programado para cálculo em qualquer linguagem de programação e em qualquer plataforma computacional; sendo destinado para uso em portal de software público onde pode ser livremente utilizado pela comunidade. O e-IQUAS foi formulado agregando-se os parâmetros de qualidade das águas subterrâneas que produzem efeitos similares, por “Grupo de Alteração” (ou seja, por tipo de intemperismo associado à presença do parâmetro). O método de operador mínimo é usado para calcular a nota de cada grupo de alteração, gerando um subíndice; enquanto o índice final (e-IQUAS) é definido como a menor nota entre todos os subíndices. Os testes foram realizados em amostras de água de poços tubulares profundos perfurados no sistema aquífero São Sebastião, aquífero  multicamadas, da Bacia Sedimentar do Recôncavo, utilizados para o abastecimento público da região metropolitana de Salvador (RMS), especificamente a área urbana do município de Camaçari, estado da Bahia, e poços de monitoramento de qualidade de água localizados no município de Verdelândia, ao norte do estado de Minas Gerais, na região da bacia do Médio São Francisco, pertencente ao contexto geológico do Grupo Bambuí. Os resultados obtidos para o índice, comparados com a qualidade da água, apontam para um método adequado para qualificação das águas subterrâneas, fácil de aplicar, isento de complexidade técnica e, totalmente flexível à inclusão de qualquer variável.

Published: February 2017

A explotação racional e sustentável dos recursos hídricos se torna atualmente cada vez mais importante, tendo em vista que a sociedade convive com diversos e grandes desafios, principalmente aqueles referentes a crescente demanda de água em quantidade e qualidade como consequência do aumento da taxa de  crescimento populacional, implantação de indústrias, acréscimo da pegada hídrica, produção de alimentos e, enfim, desenvolvimento, especialmente em áreas de escassez, como em regiões áridas e semiáridas, como no caso específico da área de estudo. Como a utilização das águas subterrâneas para fins diversos também está condicionada a qualidade, neste trabalho desenvolveu-se uma metodologia utilizando a técnica da análise fatorial, associada a análise de agrupamento multivariada, objetivando dar suporte à gestão hidroqualitativa. Foram identificadas similaridades entre atributos físico-químicos capazes de explicar possíveis processos responsáveis pela qualidade das águas, tomando como estudo de caso o município de Fortaleza, Ceará. A análise fatorial aplicada a atributos físico-químicos identificou três componentes responsáveis por aproximadamente 86% da variância total. O primeiro como indicador de salinidade e poluição (K+, Ca+2, Mg2+, N-NO3-, dureza, condutividade elétrica (CE) e sólidos totais dissolvidos (STD)); o segundo, como indicador de alcalinidade (pH, bicarbonato e alcalinidade); e o terceiro, como indicador de salinidade (Cl-, Na+, CE e STD). A análise de agrupamento multivariada por componente, apresentou três grupos identificados por amostras com diferentes faixas de concentrações.

The aim of this study is to investigate whether the intended ambient sound level has an effect on the postural stability. For this purpose 15 man and 12 women totally 27 healthy, voluntary students voluntarily participated in the study. The DT-8820 Multi-Function Environment Meter was used for Sound Level Measurement. Quiet environment, while the volume was maintained at between 15-30 decibel noise level of 90-100 dB in noisy environments. The Biodex balance system (Biodex, Inc., Shirley, New York) was used for postural stability measurement. SPSS 21.0 package program was used in the analysis of the data. The Wilcoxon Signed Ranks and Mann Whitney U test was used to compare measurement Significance level was set at 0.05 and 0.01 levels. When the balance performances at different sound levels are compared by gender, It was found that there was a significantly meaningful result in favor of men in quite environment oscillation balance scores both open eye and closed eye. However there was no significant difference among man and women other scores. On the other hand it was determined significant differences in the women closed eye oscillation score. In the man excepting open eye oscillation score the noisy environment was negatively affected all parameter. Postural stability was negatively affected noisy environment. As a result; In the study conducted that the high level of sound impaired the balance performance by affecting the vestibular system in both women and men and the effect was higher when closed eyes. ÖzetYapılan çalışmanın amacı ortam ses seviyesinin denge performansına etkisinin olup olmadığının araştırılmasıdır. Bu amaçla çalışmaya 15’i erkek, 12’si bayan toplam 27 öğrenci alınmıştır. Ortam Ses Seviyesi Ölçümü DT-8820 Multi-Function Environment Meter cihazı ile yapıldı. Sessiz ortam ses seviyesi 15-30 desibel arasında iken gürültülü ortam ses seviyesi 90-100 desibel arasında tutulmuştur.Denge ölçümü için BİODEX denge sistemi (Biodex, Inc, Shirley New York) kullanılmıştır.Verilerin analizinde SPSS 21.0 paket programı kullanıldı.  Verilerinin kıyaslanmasında Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test ve Mann Whitney U test kullanıldı.

Disaster is an event that suddenly or slowly occurs caused by human, nature, or even both. Disaster is not only related to the physical environment where disaster found but also to the livelihood of the community. Coastal rural is vulnerable to the coastal disaster such as flood and tidal flood due to their high dependency on the coastal resources. The vulnerability assessment of the coastal rural is very important in order to identify the level of vulnerability and to recommend crucial strategies to reduce the risk of disaster exposure in the future. This study aims to identify the socio-economic vulnerability in the rural coastal community of Demak Regency. Vulnerability assessment was carried out through a spatial explicit modeling. The results show that 33 (thirty-three) villages or about 42% were categorized as most vulnerable. While, 45 (forty-five) others or about 59% are less vulnerable. Therefore, efforts on the disaster mitigation are necessary to be done to reduce the exposure impact to the coastal rural community.   
Bio-refinery for Wastewater Remediation: How to Adopt Microalgae? (Part I)
Authors: Chagin Megan , Brewer Darren J.
Published: February 2017

Microalgae have been appeared to be a wellspring of various bio-based items running from high esteem particles to products. This paper is centered on the significance of outfitting the bioremediation limit of microalgae to treat wastewaters with a specific end goal to build up the microalgae business (particularly the microalgae biofuel industry) and to discover different other options to the exemplary wastewater treatment forms. There are many applications of wastewater and one of the most prominent examples is that it can be used as a bio fuel feed stock. Apart from this wastewater is also important because it is needed for the advancement of microalgae bio fuel industry. There are many ways to treat wastewater and used it in the biofuel industry and urban wastewater treatment is one of them. In urban wastewater treatment the toxins that are present in wastewater are treated and it is then used in biofuel industry. Another way of treatment is industrial or agricultural wastewater treatment. In this process the microalgae that is present in wastewater is utilized. Nowadays some techniques are introduced by which for the vaccination of microalgae and these techniques are simple and easy to be implemented.

KONDISI HABITAT DAN KAITANNYA DENGAN JUMLAH PENYU HIJAU (Chelonia mydas) YANG BERSARANG DI PULAU DERAWAN, BERAU-KALIMANTAN TIMUR
Authors: Dharmadi Dharmadi , Wiadnyana Ngurah Nyoman
Published: February 2017

Chelonia mydas merupakan spesies penyu yang paling umum dari 6 spesies yang ditemukan di Indonesia. Dewasa ini, jumlah penyu hijau banyak mengalami penurunan, karena berbagai faktor seperti ada perburuan dan pengambilan telur penyu secara ilegal, serta terjadi degradasi habitat. Dalam penelitian ini dipelajari kondisi habitat peneluran dan fluktuasi jumlah penyu hijau (Chelonia mydas) yang mendarat di Pulau Derawan, Kabupaten Berau-Kalimantan Timur, yang diharapkan dapat dijadikan sebagai bahan masukan bagi pengelolaan habitat penyu. Penelitian yang dilakukan pada bulan Maret dan September 2006 menggunakan metode survei dan pengamatan langsung di lapangan. Deskripsi dari habitat penyu bertelur adalah daratan luas dan landai yang terletak di atas bagian pantai dengan rata-rata kemiringan 30° serta di atas pasang surut antara 30 sampai dengan 50 m. Kondisi pantai berpasir tidak kurang dari 90% dan sisa debu maupun tanah liat dengan diameter butiran halus sampai dengan sedang. Jumlah penyu yang mendarat di Pulau Derawan 408 ekor pada tahun 2004 menurun menjadi 168 ekor pada tahun 2005. Penurunan jumlah penyu hijau (Chelonia mydas) yang mendarat di Pulau Derawan disebabkan oleh menurunnya kondisi lingkungan pantai akibat meningkatnya aktivitas masyarakat, berkurangnya kerapatan vegetasi pantai akibat abrasi, dan berkurangnya ruang tempat peneluran karena pembangunan rumah wisata di pinggir pantai di Pulau Derawan. Green turtle is a most common of six turtles species found in Indonesia. Actualy, this turtle population has much decreased, due to some factors, such as turtle hunting and turtle eggs taking illegally as well as habitat degradation occurrence. The current work studied the condition of nesting habitat and the fluctuation of green turtle (Chelonia mydas) population landed in Derawan Island, Berau District in East Kalimantan, with hope that the results are usefull as input for better management of sea turtle habitat. The study that was conducted on March and September 2006 used survey methods and direct observation in the field. Habitat description of green turtle (Chelonia mydas) shows that the area for nesting is the sandy coast of less than 30° slope, silt as well as compacted beach with small and medium grains diameter, and the difference between low and high tide is 30 to 50 cm. Green turtle (Chelonia mydas) number in the nesting area of Derawan Island was 408 individuals in 2004 and decreased to about 168 individuals in 2005. This condition might be caused by the degradation of nesting habitat environment due to the increase of human activity, decrease of coastal vegetation density by coastal abration, and decrease of nesting habitat caused by the builts of housing and resort in the coastal area of Derawan Island.

The paper presents findings of the comparative study on relationships between remembrance story-telling and the transitional reconstruction of political identities. It identifies in which areas and fields of impact governments tend to use interpretations of the past to promote new leadership visions of society. Moreover, it verifies theoretical hypotheses related to the politicised remembrance and its role as a political asset during transformations, as well as it considers the theoretical framework of democracy-building (and a common prediction of its universal character). As a result, the study offers a detailed picture of the way remembrance narratives are transformed into explanations, justifications or legitimisation of new, post-authoritarian identities based on qualitative-to-quantitative analysis of the intensity of story-telling and its links with transitional identity politics. In the conclusion, the Authors present their consideration of research findings, and they discuss it with reference to the nature of transitional government’s remembrance policy as a sphere of social influence.
Significance of the Social Vision of Great People in Times of Political Transition
Authors:   University of Warsaw (Poland), Wyszkowski Konrad
Published: February 2017

The author offers a new approach to a phenomenon of social legends of great individuals from a philosophical point of view. He starts with a presentation of his interpretation of the concept of the Platonic tradition of a divine man and a cult or hagiography of such men in the ideal Platonic state, alongside with an explanation, inspired by Platonic authors. He collates this concept and its justification (rationalization) with today’s social and political reception of axiology, in order to present it as an epiphany of higher values. He collates it also with the results of philosophical reflection on a ductility of history, in order to show it as a prototype of something real in its historical efficiency. The author ends with summary and explanation of his proposal.
