The College Experience of Commuter Students and the Concepts of Place and Space
Authors: Weiss Marissa
Published: February 2018

The demographics of the college student population, the dearth of research on commuter students, and the pervasive negative stereotypes of commuters indicate that an appreciation of the commuter student experience is important for the future of higher education (Dugan et al., 2008; Jacoby, 1989; Krause, 2007). The Digest of Education Statistics 2011 reports that in academic years 2003-04 and 2007-08 85.8% of all students enrolled at postsecondary institutions did not live in on-campus housing (Snyder & Dillow, 2012). Despite their status as the numerical majority, commuter students are still considered nontraditional (Orgren, 2003). Due to the variations in commuter student populations, it is important for each institution to study its commuters, and to use that information to guide policy and programs, instead of basing decisions on data collected nationwide or at a particular institution (Dugan et al., 2008; Jacoby, 1989). As the vast majority of State College undergraduate students commute (Office of Institutional Research and Planning, 2012), it is necessary to have an understanding of the phenomenon of commuting. To gain this understanding, the theoretical frames of critical theory, campus ecology, and phenomenology were used to guide the exploration of two research questions:

How do commuter students make meaning of their college experience?

How do commuter students describe the role of campus space and place in their college experience?

For this study I interviewed ten participants, asked them to collect photos that represented their college lives, interviewed them about their photos (participant-driven photo elicitation), and conducted gallery walk focus groups in which the participants’ photos were displayed and they had an opportunity to discuss the themes present in the photos. Through general inductive thematic analysis, as well as the trustworthiness measures of member checking, peer debriefing, and triangulation, three overarching themes emerged: commuter students and dorm people, “How difficult it is for commuters” (Victoria), but we’re used to it, and finding a “second home” (Lindsay). These themes, along with a review of the findings through the lenses of the theoretical frameworks, were used to develop recommendations for both practice and research related to commuter students.
Teachers' Self-Directed Informal Learning for Technology Integration in 1:1 Device High Schools
Authors: Moen Mary
Published: February 2018

Public schools are implementing 1:1 computing programs in the hopes of

transforming education to provide students with the digital literacy competencies that

will enable them to be successful in our technology driven world. Continuous

professional learning is critical in helping teachers develop the knowledge and skills

for effective educational technology integration. Research has found however, that

formal professional development, commonly implemented as one-time workshops

with outside facilitators, are ineffective due to the multi-dimensional nature of

technology integration. Teacher continuous professional learning outside of the formal

context needs be considered. This survey study explored the self-directed informal

online and offline learning behaviors for technology integration of public high school

teachers in schools during the early stage of 1:1 (ES1:1) device implementation

programs. The findings from this study indicated that teachers are frequently engaged

in informal learning activities for technology integration. Teachers regularly engaged

in socio-constructivist activities through independent exploration, practice, and

routinely asked their colleagues for help or to collaborate. Although searching the

Internet to learn was the most commonly reported online activity, more sophisticated

uses of technology to learn were limited. Teacher learning goals were also found to

predict certain learner behaviors. The findings from this study inform both teachers

and professional developers of the possibilities of informal learning as a legitimate

form of professional lifelong learning.

Authors: Jassim Kareem Ali , Hussein Haider Sahi
Published: February 2018

In the current study, we investigate the effect of  (La) substitution  instead of (Cu) on the properties of the superconductor compound  (Bi2Sr2Ca2Cu3-xLaxO10+δ)  with (x=0,0.05,0.1,0.15,0.2). The samples were  prepared  by solid state reaction method(SSR). Xray diffraction technique (XRD) was used to estimate the structural  properties of the specimens which show an orthorhombic crystalline structure for all the specimens.       The results show that the change in ( La) concentration  leads to decrease the concentration of (Bi-2223), increment in (Bi-2212 ) and(Bi-2201) with appearance of some impurities. Also decrease the critical temperature(Tc) with the increase of ( La) concentration.

Japanese Airline Management Strategy ?Case study of All Nippon Airway’s Global Business Strategy?
Authors: Shaikh Sumaiyya Wahid , Worku Genanew B , Rao Ananth
Published: February 2018

This paper analyses the strategy of All Nippon Airways, the second largest airline in Japan. The airline industry has been considered a symbol of government regulation. Competitive strategies increased through gradual deregulation in the 1980s, new entrants in the 1990s, and the expansion of Tokyo International Airport. Competition in the industry intensified when Japan Airlines (JAL), the largest airline in Japan, which rebuilt its operations using government support, re-listed. In this environment, ANA, which has been a private company since its inception and the second largest airline for many years, was the ninth largest in the world based on profits and number of passengers.

We first use a cross-sectional financial analysis to confirm the positioning in Japan’s aviation industry by comparing ANA with JAL. Next, regarding ANA’s management strategy, we use Ansoff’s Product-Market Growth Matrix. Finally, regarding global strategy, we analyze ANA.

Authors: Harilal A , Santhosh V.A
Published: February 2018

Women play vital roles in the process of decision making both in work place and family. Indian culture considers women as care takers of the family members. In contrary to the traditional notions, women are moving from home maker’s par name to working women. More number of women is entering into workforce that is very much challenging and innovative. Aforementioned state gives a double role to most of the women as working women and house wives without any interval. Here a study is undertaken on the level of stress of women who are in the dual standards of family and profession. The study tries to identify the stressful life faced by women in the society. The result indicates that financial position of the family, travelling time and mode of travelling affect the intensity of stress among the working women. It provides us an opportunity to give suggestions to women in facing and challenging critical situations of their lives effectively.

Diversity and Inclusion in the Workplace: Employee Perception and Implications for Internal Brand Management
Authors: Szymanska Aneta , Aldighieri Denis
Published: February 2018

The study explores the issues connected with diversity and inclusion in the workplace and their application in internal branding. The authors draw attention to the depth of the problematics and identify the gaps in research results concerning the meaning of diversity management as a method of creating corporate image of the organization, both externally and internally.

The purpose of the research is to investigate employees’ perceptions on diversity in the workplace. It will develop insight into and knowledge of the current state of diversity in the workplace in Poland. Secondly, the results of the research are meant to help to accelerate the process of adapting and changing current management practices to meet the demands of a diversifying workforce. Besides, the authors investigate how diversity management can become an effective tool for internal branding as a crucial success factor.

In the statistical study, the Mann–Whitney U test was used to assess differences between women and men. In the case of an independent variable related to the position held in the organization, the Kruskal-Wallis ANOVA analysis was used for comparison. In order to assess the relationship between nominal features, the Fisher’s exact test – the chi-squared test was applied with the Yates’s continuity correction for a 2x2 contingency table. For these tables, the contingency coefficient C of correlation was calculated. In the case of the scaled variables, to evaluate the relationship between them and the answers to the questions asked, Spearman’s rank correlation coefficients were calculated.

Analytical Marketing with Collective Perception
Authors: D’Aniello Giuseppe , De Falco Massimo , Gaeta Matteo , Loia Francesca
Published: February 2018

Social networks, forums and blogs are widely considered as a valuable source of information for many applications and in different domains. Being able to extract, analyze and use the knowledge, opinions and sentiments the users share on the Web can become a competitive advantage for any company or organization. Specifically, information about the feelings and the opinions of the users of a Web community with respect to a product or a service can be useful for marketing.  In this context, the concept of collective perception is gaining momentum as a way to process, evaluate and quantify the perception and the sentiment that a community of users share about a given phenomenon. In this work, we propose an approach, based on Fuzzy Logic and Sentiment Analysis techniques, which allows to evaluate, also in a quantitative manner, the collective perception of a Web community with respect to a specific product or service.

Published: February 2018

This paper focuses on dynamics of productive and demanding nodes for Scattered Manufacturing Networks within 3D Printings contexts. The various nodes issue orders or sell production slots in order to achieve their own aims. An orchestrator coordinates the dynamics along the network according to principles of sustainability, equated shared resources and transparency by managing communication activities among nodes. In particular, suitable tradeoffs occur by a unique framework that, with the aim of optimizing the overall costs, suggests either logistics paths along the network or negotiation policies among nodes in order to reallocate resources. Numerical examples present the proposed approach.

Published: February 2018

The paper develops an ethical multiple stochastic objectives approach to address the ethical portfolio selection problem in the stochastic environment under the Shari’ah compliant framework. Two random objectives considered in this paper which are maximizing portfolio return and maximizing social welfare of portfolio. The risk of portfolio is measured by covariance matrix of total return. The ethical stochastic objectives program approach is based on goal programming approach, a chance constrained approach and Shari’ah compliant framework. The model is applied on 60 stocks including conventional and Islamic securities in GCC. The results show that, portfolios with higher proportion of ethical Islamic securities in the portfolio and with higher expected loss the higher is the portfolio performance in terms of Sharpe measure.

Keywords: Shari’ah compliant, Ethical investment, Goal programming, Multiple objectives, Stochastic Multiple objectives programming, Chance constrained approach, Sharpe index as portfolio performance measure.

Cement is one of the main ingredients in the manufacture of concrete. The raw material is used in the manufacture of cement are limestone, silica sand, clay and iron sand. Cement is a material made of material that belong to natural resources that cannot be renewed, so that the raw material inventory of cement in nature is getting less. Continuous mining of cement raw materials has an impact on natural damage. It encourages the discovery of alternative materials as an additive to the manufacture of concrete. The method of data analysis begins with the investigation of cement material, coarse aggregate, fine aggregats and rice straw ash. Concrete is added with rice straw ash with variations of 0%, 5%, 10%, and 15% additions. The test specimen are cylinders with size ø 15 cm x 30 cm and the planned compressive strength is 14.5 MPa. After going through the treatment period for 7 days, the value of compressive strength is then correlated to the age of 28 days. Based on research that has been done at Civil Engineering Laboratory of Islamic University of Lamongan, it is found that there is a decrease of strength on each addition of ash straw content of paddy. Use of rice straw ash in concrete mix with variation of 0%, 5%, 10%, and 15% addition of The weight of cement has an impact on the decrease of concrete strength value. The compressive strength values obtained at the age of 28 days are 18,440 Mpa, 15,366 Mpa, 13,948 Mpa, and 12,530 Mpa.

Makalah ini menyajikan klasifikasi sinyal listrik non-stasioner yang mengandung masalah Kualitas Daya (KD) berbasis Transformasi Hilbert Huang (THH) dan Jaringan Saraf Tiruan (JST). Transformasi Hilbert Huang (THH) adalah metode analisis sinyal yang relatif baru, yang terdiri dari dua tahap - Dekomposisi Mode Empiris (DME) dan Transformasi Hilbert (TH). Proses DME menguraikan sinyal menjadi komponen – komponennya dalam bentuk Fungsi Mode Intrinsik (FMI) sementara TH digunakan untuk memperoleh amplitudo dan frekuensi sesaat dari masing-masing FMI. Fitur yang diekstraksi melalui THH digunakan untuk melatih JST guna mengenali kelas sinyal yang diproses. Kelas sinyal yang diidentifikasi mulai dari sinyal normal, interupsi, sag, swell, harmonisa, transien, dan gabungannya. Hasil simulasi menunjukkan bahwa kombinasi THH dan JST dapat secara efektif mendeteksi dan mengklasifikasikan sinyal yang mengandung berbagai masalah KD.

Pada suatu sistem tenaga listrik salah satu faktor yang mempengaruhi rugi –rugi daya saluran adalah ketersedian daya reaktif dalam sistem. Kebutuhan daya reaktif dalam sistem menentukan nilai profil tegangan bus. Untuk mengurangi rug-rugi daya saluran dan meningkatkan profil tegangan sistem diperlukan pengaturan daya reaktif yang tepat dengan memperhitungkan lokasi penempatan dan besarnya nilai kapasitor.Pengaturan daya reaktif dapat lebih mudah dilakukan apabila pada suatu bus terdapat sumber pembangkit daya reaktif seperti kapasitor. Dengan menggunakan algoritma genetika pengaturan daya reaktif yang tepat dapat dilakukan dengan optimasi penempatan kapasitor dan nilai kapasitor pada sistem tenaga listrik. Pada pengujian optimasi daya reaktif sistem kelistrikan area Bangka tanggal 28 Maret 2017 diperoleh rugi-rugi daya saluran sebelum optimasi sebesar 0,195 MW dan 0,543 MVAr, sedangkan rugi daya sesudah optimasi sebesar 0,177 MW dan 0,502 MVAr. Penurunan rugi daya saluran sebesar 0,018 MW dan 0,041MVAr atau sebesar 9,23 % untuk daya aktif dan 7,55 % untuk daya reaktif. Parameter algoritma genetika yang terpilih dalam pengujian optimasi daya reaktif adalah Pc = 1.0 Pm = 0,5 dengan injeksi kapasitor 1-7 MVAr (pengujian B bagian 4).Total injeksi daya reaktif yang diperoleh dari optimasi sebesar 27,93 MVAr.Penempatan kapasitor yang didapat adalah pada bus 2 = 3 MVAr, bus 6 =1 MVAr, bus 9 = 7 MVAr, bus 10 =6 MVAr, bus 11 = 7 MVAr, bus 12 =3 MVAr, bus 13 = 1 MVAr.

Background: Both Abiotrophia spp and Granulicatella spp have been shown to cause invasive infections, including endocarditis. Historically, these organisms were commonly referred to as nutritionally variant streptococci (NVS), as they were challenging to culture and required special media supplements for growth in vitro. Current guidelines for the management of endocarditis caused by NVS suggest treating patients with beta-lactams, particularly benzylpenicillin, but data supporting this recommendation are sparse and do not differentiate antibiotic treatment between the two species. Objective: To determine susceptibility profiles of Abiotrophia spp and Granulicatella spp recovered from invasive infections. Results: Between January 2010 and June 2015, 219 clinical isolates of NVS were submitted to the Public Health Ontario Laboratory for identification and/or susceptibility testing. The majority of these isolates (162/219; 74%) were recovered from blood cultures. Granulicatella spp showed greater susceptibility to penicillin than Abiotrophia spp (65.4% versus 23.7%). On the other hand, Abiotrophia spp isolates showed greater susceptibility to third- and fourth-generation cephalosporins than Granulicatella spp. Both Abiotrophia spp and Granulicatella spp isolates were universally susceptible to vancomycin. Conclusion: The findings demonstrate that susceptibility of NVS to commonly recommended antimicrobials depends on genus with Granulicatella spp exhibiting higher susceptibility to penicillin (the commonly recommended treatment for endocarditis caused by NVS) than Abiotrophia spp. Therefore, accurate identification and routine susceptibility testing of NVS would improve effective management of patients with invasive infections.
Experiences in Heat Treatment of Heat Resistant Carburizing Bearing Steels
Authors: Beer O.
Published: February 2018

Rolling element bearings in aeroengine applications undergo high stresses and elevated temperatures. Besides through hardening grades, predominantly the high speed steel M50, often case hardening steels, mostly the high performance carburizing steel M50NiL, are used in critical aircraft engine applications. The advantage of case hardened steels compared to through hardened steels is a relatively high fracture toughness in the core. Furthermore, carburizing steels allow an integrated functional design. Sophisticated heat treatment cycles are necessary to get optimal microstructural properties. This paper presents properties of these steels and experiences in industrial processing, especially in carburizing and hardening.

The confined porous environment of metal organic frameworks (MOFs) is an attractive system for studying reaction mechanisms. Compared to flat oxide surfaces, MOFs have the key advantage that they exhibit a well-defined structure and present significantly fewer challenges in experimental characterization. As an example of an important reaction, we study here the dissociation of water—which plays a critical role in biology, chemistry, and materials science—in MOFs and show how the knowledge of the structure in this confined environment allows for an unprecedented level of understanding and control. In particular, combining in-situ infrared spectroscopy and first-principles calculations, we show that the water dissociation reaction can be selectively controlled inside Zn-MOF-74 by alcohol, through both chemical and physical interactions. Methanol is observed to speed up water dissociation by 25% to 100%, depending on the alcohol partial pressure. On the other hand, co-adsorption of isopropanol reduces the speed of the water reaction, due mostly to steric interactions. In addition, we also investigate the stability of the product state after the water dissociation has occurred and find that the presence of additional water significantly stabilizes the dissociated state. Our results show that precise control of reactions within nano-porous materials is possible, opening the way for advances in fields ranging from catalysis to electrochemistry and sensors.

Globally, traditional and herbal teas are a prominent dietary source of polyphenols, and represent a class of bioactive molecules that are closely associated with a variety of health benefits. Most consumers prepare tea using tea bags, although there is little information about whether this production step alters the content of the final product. The study purpose was to investigate the effect of steep time and tea type on the polyphenol content and predicted antioxidant capacity of commercially available tea bag products, including Green, Orange Pekoe, Red Roiboos, Peppermint, and Chamomile. Total polyphenol content (TPC), antioxidant capacity (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl inhibition), and total predicted antioxidant capacity were measured in aliquots sampled every minute for 10 min. Polyphenols were extracted into solution in a nonlinear fashion, with ~80–90% of the TPC appearing within 5 min of tea bag immersion. Moreover, a significant range in TPC values was observed between products, with true teas containing at least two-fold greater polyphenol content than the herbal varieties. Our results are consistent with previous work using loose-leaf tea products and demonstrates that tea bag products are an effective source of polyphenols that may offer health benefits relating to their constituent antioxidant activity.
