Development of Children's Sadness
Authors: Rotenberg Ken J. , Mars Kathy , Crick Nicki
Published: February 2019

We asked 96 children from first, third, fifth, and seventh grades to describe situations in which they were sad, and posed questions to assess the related causes, intensity, motives, and consequences. Results showed that sadness was caused by harm in the majority of incidents. There
was a shift with age in the nature of the harmful causes of sadness, toward a greater frequency of harm to others as opposed to harm to self, as well as a greater frequency of psychological versus physical harm. Harm to pets, isolation, and prevention of goal achievement by another were causes
of sadness and the latter decreased with age. Kindergarten children reported a lower intensity of sadness than did older children. As age increased, so did children's identification of motives for sadness. The most and least frequent of consequences of children's sadness were passive nonexpression
and verbal expression of feelings, respectively. Finally, there was a decrease with age in children's redirective behavior (quick shifts towards happy activities) as a consequence of sadness.

Authors: Lima Ana Paula Marinho de , Souza Francisca Leidiana de , Souza Francisco das Chagas Silva
Published: February 2019

Em 1997, entra em vigor, aprovado pelo presidente Fernando Henrique Cardoso, o Decreto nº. 2.208, o qual reformou a Educação Profissional e Tecnológica (EPT) no Brasil. Conforme esse Decreto, a EPT, em nível médio, passaria a ser ofertado de duas formas: a concomitante e a subsequente, observando-se a separação entre o ensino profissional e o Ensino Médio, ou seja, a formação geral. Em 2004, no governo do presidente Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, o Decreto 2.208/1997 foi revogado por meio do Decreto nº. 5.154/2004, mas foram mantidas as formas concomitante e subsequente, além da integrada. O objetivo deste artigo é mapear a produção do conhecimento a respeito da Educação Profissional Técnica de Nível Médio na forma Concomitante. Para tanto, foi realizado um estado do conhecimento com base nos dados encontrados no Catálogo de Teses e Dissertações da CAPES. Durante a pesquisa, utilizamos as palavras “Ensino Médio Concomitante”, com o uso de aspas, sendo encontradas 08 (oito) dissertações, porém, apenas 07 (sete) foram localizadas para leitura e análise. Esse levantamento nos mostra uma carência de investigações acadêmicas acerca da Concomitância entre os ensinos profissional e o médio, visto que essa forma de articulação, prevista na nossa Lei de Diretrizes e Bases, está presente em um número considerável de instituições, públicas e privadas, que ofertam a Educação Profissional Técnica de nível Médio no Brasil, demonstrando a necessidade de mais estudos e relatos de experiências sobre esse tema.

The relevance of corporate governance codes to small and medium enterprises: The case of developing country
Authors: Dube Hlupeko , Kudakwashe Zvitambo
Published: February 2019

The aim of this paper was to examine the relevance of governance codes to Microfinance Institutions (MFIs) in developing counties. The study was motivated by a lack of transparency, sound risk management and sustainability challenges faced by MFIs in developing countries. The study was important for the improvement of governance in MFIs, which are an important tool for the growth, and development of nations. In the paper, a theoretical literature review approach to governance in MFIs was adopted because it allowed the researcher to review critique and synthesize the literature on governance in MFIs. This, in turn, enabled the researchers to generate new frameworks and perspectives on the topic in microfinance. The study found that there was poor governance in Zimbabwean MFIs, governance codes in place were skewed towards large corporations and did not fit the context MFIs. Furthermore, the study established that financial statements for MFIs were not easy to access and the application of corporate governance in MFIs of developing countries was found to be difficult because of inadequate financial resources and lack of knowledge on governance issues. Therefore, the study concluded that corporate governance codes in developing countries needed to be adjusted to the context of MFIs. The study recommends that governance codes that suit the institutional set up of small firms including MFIs in terms of capital structure, ownership concentration and markets should be crafted and adopted. Furthermore, MFIs should implement governance training and increase transparency. The governance codes should be provided free to businesses and be accompanied by extensive training by government and institutions of higher learning.

Deep extreme feature extraction: New MVA method for searching particles in high energy physics
Authors: Ma Chao , Xu Jinhui , Hou Tiancheng , Lan Bin , Zhang Zhenhua
Published: February 2019

In this paper, we propose Deep Extreme Feature Extraction (DEFE), a new
ensemble MVA method for searching ?+?- channel of Higgs bosons in high
energy physics. DEFE can be viewed as a deep ensemble learning scheme that
trains a strongly diverse set of neural feature learners without explicitly
encouraging diversity and penalizing correlations, which is achieved by
adopting an implicit neural controller (not involved in feed forward
computation) that directly controls and distributes gradient flows from
higher level deep prediction network. Such model-independent controller
results in that every single local feature learned are used in the
feature-to-output mapping stage, avoiding the blind averaging of features.
DEFE makes the ensembles ?deep? in the sense that it allows deep
post-process of these features that try to learn to select and abstract the
ensemble of neural feature learners. Based the construction and
approximation of the so-called extreme selection region, the DEFE model is
able to be trained efficiently, and extract discriminative features from
multiple angles and dimensions, hence the improvement of the selection
region of searching new particles in HEP can be achieved. With the
application of this model, a selection region full of signal processes can
be obtained through the training of miniature collision events set. In
comparison with the Classic Deep Neural Network, DEFE shows a
state-of-the-art performance: the error rate has decreased by about 37%, the
accuracy has broken through 90% for the first time, along with the discovery
significance has reached a standard deviation of 6.0?. Experimental data
shows that DEFE is able to train an ensemble of discriminative feature
learners that boosts the over performance of final prediction. Furthermore,
among high-level features, there are still some important patterns that are
unidentified by DNN and are independent of low-level features, while DEFE is
able to identify these significant patterns more efficiently
Fuzzy adaptive sliding-mode control for hypersonic vehicles
Authors: Gao Qian , He Naibao , Cao Fengxue
Published: February 2019

This study focuses on a novel anti-disturbance flight control scheme for the
near space hypersonic vehicle (NHV) based on the fuzzy sliding-mode control
technique and disturbance observer. First, a fuzzy system is employed to
approximate the uncertainty nonlinear dynamics; furthermore, an auxiliary
fast dynamic observation system is introduced to tackle the system
uncertainty and the time-varying unknown external disturbance of the NHV.
Second, the dynamic adaptive terminal sliding-mode control strategy is
raised to alleviate the chattering phenomenon. Third, the Lyapunov method is
used to prove that the adaptive control system can be guaranteed to be
stable and the tracking errors are converged in finite time. Finally, the
effectiveness of the proposed method is verified with simulation.
Path planning based on Q-learning and three-segment method for aircraft fuel tank inspection robot
Authors: Guochen Niu , Kailu Xu
Published: February 2019

In order to realize the path planning of continuum robot for inspecting
defects in the aircraft fuel tank compartment, an approach based on
Q-learning and Three-segment Method was proposed, and the posture of the
robot meeting the inherent and spatial structure constraint requirements was
planned. Firstly, the simulation model of the aircraft fuel tank was
established. Moreover, the workspace was rasterized to decrease the
computing complexity. Secondly, the Q-learning algorithm was applied and the
path from the initial point to the target was generated. In terms of target
guided angle and three-segment method, the joint variables corresponding to
each transition point on the path could be obtained. Finally, the robot
reached the target by progressively updating the joint variables. Simulation
experiments were implemented, and the results verified the effectiveness and
feasibility of the algorithm.

Published: February 2019

The fast development of urbanization and development have led to an increase
in the difficulties with regards to satisfying the demand of public transport.
The quantized evaluation analysis of urban public transport performance is
useful to identify its shortcomings and to also enable further optimization
of the transport system. This facilitates the improvement of the systems
quality of service and provides the means to reduce operating costs.
Furthermore, the quantification of the bus lines performance evaluation is
crucial in raising the systems operational efficiency and improving the
operators level of service. In this study, the data collected from Hangzhou
Bus Companys operating income table is evaluated to assess bus performance
by Excel and Deap software. The study constructs the conceptual framework
that evaluates the performance evaluation of the single bus line, and
divides the implementation process of the single bus line service into two
stages. Building the Output-BCC (Banker Charnes Cooper) model with DEA
method to calculate the operational efficiency and service efficiency, then
accesses the Hangzhou bus transport objectively and provides some
suggestions.

Published: February 2019

Agricultural data classification attracts more and more attention in the
research area of intelligent agriculture. As a kind of important machine
learning methods, ensemble learning uses multiple base classifiers to deal
with classification problems. The rough set theory is a powerful
mathematical approach to process unclear and uncertain data. In this paper,
a rough set based ensemble learning algorithm is proposed to classify the
agricultural data effectively and efficiently. An experimental comparison of
different algorithms is conducted on four agricultural datasets. The results
of experiment indicate that the proposed algorithm improves performance
obviously.
Research on the model for tobacco disease prevention and control based on case-based reasoning and knowledge graph
Authors: Gu Lichuan , Xia Yingchun , Yuan Xiaohui , Wang Chao , Jiao Jun
Published: February 2019

Tobacco is one of the most important economic crops in China. The yield and
quality of tobacco reduce severely because of long-time disease invasion.
Currently, the main focus of researches on tobacco disease prevention and
control is the diagnosis of disease that has occurred, which ignores to
predict disease before it outbreaks. Therefore, in this paper, we follow the
idea that prediction is used before disease prevention and control and study
the model for tobacco disease prevention and control by using knowledge
graph and case-based reasoning (CBR). In order to implement the model, we
choose tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) as research object and follow the
following methods to prevent occurrence of that. At first, a method to
predicting environmental factors by using principal component analysis (PCA)
and support vector machine (SVM) is proposed. According to the prediction
result, knowledge graph and CBR are used to retrieve the most similarity
case and finally determine the best solution. Experimental results
demonstrate that our model can achieve high accuracy and give the most
appropriate scheme for disease prevention and control.
A novel benefit-tree based dynamic clustering algorithm of comp in dense network
Authors: Su Gang , Feng Lu , Tan Li , Liang Yunlong
Published: February 2019

We focus here on the Energy Efficiency (EE), and propose an improved dynamic
clustering algorithm that is incorporated into Coordinated MultiPoint (CoMP)
with sleeping mode. Thanks to the frame structure of Benefit-tree employed
in dynamic clustering of CoMP, the proposed algorithm can significantly
improve the EE by choosing the most energy efficient competitive clustering
strategy. At the same time, it can save energy by sleeping the underutilized
base stations in the cellular network. In the performance simulation for EE,
the proposed algorithm provides 10% higher in EE than the existing
algorithm.
The Influence of Business Process Representation on Performance of Different Task Types
Authors: Ritchi Hamzah , Jans Mieke , Mendling Jan , Reijers Hajo A.
Published: February 2019

The analysis of business processes is an integral part of audit methodology. In both auditing research and process modeling research, there is an ongoing debate on which representation format might be best suited to support analysis tasks. Most important in this context is the question of whether process models as visual representation might be superior to textual narratives. This paper investigates the affinity of different tasks with two process representational formats: textual narratives and visual diagrams (BPMN models). Our findings demonstrate that the representation format has an impact on task performance and that the direction of this impact depends upon the affinity of the tasks type with the representation format. This implies that auditors are best provided with different process representations, depending on the task they are performing. These findings have important implications for research on auditing tasks, and more broadly also for software engineering and information systems research.
Periodontal side effects of rapid and slow maxillary expansion: A systematic review
Authors: Bastos Renata Travassos da Rosa Moreira , Blagitz Marco Nassar , Aragón Mônica Lídia Santos de Castro , Maia Lucianne Cople , Normando David
Published: February 2019

Objectives:

To identify the scientific evidence that demonstrates which of the transverse maxillary treatments has the least effect on periodontal tissues.

Materials and Methods:

PubMed (MEDLINE), Cochrane Library, Scopus, Web of Science, Virtual Health Library, Google Scholar, and OpenGrey were searched without restrictions. A hand search was also carried out in the reference lists of the articles selected. The related articles tool in the PubMed database was checked for each article included. Risk of bias assessment was performed using Cochrane Collaboration's Risk of Bias tool for randomized clinical trials and the ROBINS-I tool for nonrandomized studies of interventions. The GRADE tool was used to assess the quality of the evidence.

Results:

After examination of the full texts, three studies were finally included. Two studies used a Haas expander with different protocols, and one study used a Haas expander compared with a quad-helix appliance. These studies evaluated periodontal parameters and periodontal indices by clinical examination with a millimeter probe, and one study examined computed tomography images. After quality assessment, two studies were considered as having a “low” risk of bias. One study was scored as having a moderate risk of bias. The evidence was graded as moderate quality for alveolar bone level, tooth displacement, and inclination and very low for all other outcomes.

Conclusions:

There were no significant differences to enable a sound conclusion about which type of maxillary expansion has the least periodontal side effects.
Cephalometric evaluation of rapid and slow maxillary expansion in patients with BCLP: Secondary data analysis from a randomized clinical trial
Authors: Gregório Leonardo , de Medeiros Alves Arthur César , de Almeida Araci Malagodi , Naveda Rodrigo , Janson Guilherme , Garib Daniela
Published: February 2019

Objective:

To compare the dentoskeletal effects of rapid (RME) and slow (SME) maxillary expansion in patients with bilateral complete cleft lip and palate (BCLP).

Materials and Methods:

This was a secondary analysis of a previous randomized controlled trial (RCT). Forty-six patients (34 male, 12 female) with BCLP and posterior crossbite (mean age of 9.2 years) were randomly assigned to two study groups. Group RME comprised subjects treated with Haas/Hyrax expander. Group SME included patients treated with quad-helix appliance. Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) was performed before expansion (T1) and after appliance removal at the end of a 6-month retention period (T2) for a previous RCT that compared the transverse skeletal effects of RME and SME. CBCT-derived cephalometric images were generated and cephalometric analysis was performed using Dolphin Imaging Software (Chatsworth, Calif). Intergroup comparisons were performed using t tests (P < .05).

Results:

Baseline forms were similar between groups. No significant differences between RME and SME groups were found.

Conclusions:

Rapid and slow maxillary expansion produced similar sagittal and vertical changes in patients with BCLP. Both Haas/Hyrax and quad-helix appliances can be used in patients with vertical facial pattern. Clinical relevance: RME and SME can be equally indicated in the treatment of maxillary arch constriction in patients with BCLP.

Wittgenstein, certeza y la dicotomía hecho/valor
Authors: Peruzzo Júnior Léo
Published: February 2019

Este artículo pretende sostener la posibilidad de un cognitivismo moral pragmático a partir de los escritos tardíos de Wittgenstein, especialmente en Sobre la Certeza. Hemos mostrado que los juicios morales [y no proposiciones morales] son cognitivos en la medida en que encuentran en la praxis del juego de lenguaje su objetividad. Siendo así, por un lado, el debate metaético entre realistas y antirrealistas, especialmente McDowell y Blackburn, parece ser totalmente insuficiente al no considerar en sus teorías algunos aspectos pragmáticos disueltos por Wittgenstein en sus últimos escritos. Por otro lado, el núcleo que resiste en Wittgenstein, a diferencia del pragmatismo, es comprender que los "conceptos morales" sólo significan en su uso, renunciando a la búsqueda de una experiencia fundacionista o coherentista sobre la verdad. Por último, evidenciamos el argumento de que Wittgenstein está suscribiendo la ética a la forma de vida humana.

Era dekade saat ini telah terjadi banyak perubahan mendasar pada berbagai sektor, antara lain ekonomi, teknologi, dan politik. Bahkan krisis ekonomi yang belakangan terjadi telah menekan banyak organisasi untuk memikirkan kembali prioritas -prioritas mereka. Oleh karena itu, terdapat dorongan untuk melakukan pembentukan kembali bisnis dan teknologinya. Terjadi perubahan besar dalam pekerjaan saat ini, yaitu dari peralihan dari sektor manufaktur dan pertanian menjadi industri jasa dan telekomunikasi. Faktor -faktor pendorongnya, antara lain kian menipisnya sumber daya alam dan bahkan beberapa negara tidak memilikinya. Sebaliknya, terdapat perkembangan pesat di sektor teknologi. Penemuan produk-produk teknologi baru telah menyebabkan produk teknologi lama menjadi usang, tidak terpakai lagi karena digantikan dengan yang baru tersebut. Contohnya personal computer (PC) digantikan dengan telepon pintar (smart phone). Selanjutnya telepon pintar digunakan untuk berbagai keperluan, misalnya pelayanan publik on line. Fenomena di atas adalah sebuah inovasi disruptif yang diciptakan oleh Clay Christensen pada tahun 1997. Inovasi disrupsi juga berdampak terhadap Sumber Daya Manusia dalam Manajemen (MSDM). Paradigma bar adalah sebuah pemimpinial yang berbasis teknologi modern, khususnya aplikasi komputer dan internet karena lebih praktis, efisien dan efektif. Disamping itu, penggunaan teknologi tersebut bertujuan untuk menghadapi kompetisi di sektor ketenagakerjaan di ASEAN, sebagai konsekuensi MEA, maupun menyongsong SDM di Abad ke-21. Saat ini peringkat SDM Indonesia berada pada urutan ke lima setelah negara Singapura, Brunei Darussalam, Malaysia, dan Thailand. Melalui inovasi disrupsi diharapkan dapat menghadapi kedua tantangan tersebut. Selain itu, inovasi disrupsi merupakan sebuah tantangan karena memunculkan sebuah paradigma baru, yaitu MSDM yang berbasis teknologi dan inovatif serta pembentukan SDM yang kompeten di bidangnya.

Parkinson disease is one of the common age-related motor neurodegenerative diseases, in which dopamine neurons degeneration is considered to be pathognomic for the development of motor disfunction. Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is a member of the neurotrophin family, which is considered to be a key regulator of neuronal plasticity. BDNF, being a large molecule, does not pass through the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Synthetic polymer nanoparticles (NP), covered by surfactant, provide the phenomenon of “Trojan hoarse” and enable BDNF to penetrate into the brain tissue. For modelling of parkinsonism we used an intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection of neurotoxin 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) which was injected to the C57BL/6 mice with subsequest treatment with normal saline (group 1), BDNF (group 2), nanoparticulate BDNF (group 3) and surfactant-coated nanoparticulate BDNF (group 4). After 90 min, 24 hours, 72 hours and 7 days manifestations of parkinsonism were evaluated using behavioural tests of open field, rota-rod, assessment of the tremor, length of the body and pace. At the end of experiment the brain was sampled for histological evaluation of changes in the striatum and midbrain and concentration of BDNF in the brain tissues. The results of the experiments demonstrated that nanoparticulate BDNF covered with surfactant significanltly reduced rigidity of the skeletal muscles, oligokinesia and tremor, and also significantly increased BDNF concentration in the brain tissues.

Nanoparticles for drug delivery are the subject of extensive research. Importantly, they can transform in size during synthesis or actual use, thereby changing their cytotoxic properties. The aim of the present work was to study the tendency of [67Zn] porphyrin-fullerene nanoparticles (BFNP) to aggregate over time and to compare the properties of hydroxyapatite (HAP) nanoparticles obtained through 3 different techniques. We found that aggregation of BFNP nanoparticles does not affect their function but attenuates their cytotoxicity against leukemia cells. We were also able to obtain HAP nanoparticles with programmable properties (such as size, shape or the capacity to adsorb metal ions, ligands and chemical complexes) through enzymatic synthesis by varying its conditions. The synthesized HAP nanoparticles contain short-lived isotopes of zinc and copper (in the form of ions and complexes with pyrimidine or thiazine derivatives). These tumoricidal components (a radionuclide and a ligand or a complex) determine the diagnostic and therapeutic potential of the obtained radiopharmaceutical agents.

Synthesis of nanoparticles of metals and their compounds with given morphology and dispersity for use in medicine, pharmacology, microelectronics, as well as subsequent research of their properties, is one of the current problems in the field of preparative inorganic chemistry. Interphase synthesis and redox-transmetalation reduction are as promising as the traditional precipitation from aqueous solutions, but not as researched. This study presents the results of a physicochemical analysis of nanoparticles of metals and their compounds obtained through chemical precipitation from aqueous solutions, interphase and redox-transmetalation interaction. Data describing the influence of phase composition and dispersity of copper and copper oxide (II) nanoparticles on their antimicrobial properties, as well as the results of researching the possibility to use magnetite magnetic fluids for mesenchymal stem cells marking, illustrate the application options synthe-sized nanoparticles find in pharmacology and medicine.

Nowadays, the issue of Halal has been debated and argued by so many parties and Moslem consumers in Malaysia have to select acceptable food products which contain many ingredients in varying quantities, including trace amounts of haram or questionable ingredients. Halal starts from the very beginning of food preparation process until the product reaches the consumer. Thus, it must be prepared, processed, manufactured and storage using equipment untainted by anything unclean (S. Shafie and O. Mohamad, 2002). The primary objective of this study is to identify the determinants of Halal perceived by the Moslem consumer in Malaysia and measuring the consumer perception on the Malaysia Halal certification. This study presents primary data collected by self-administered statements involving 385 responses from the Moslem respondents within concentration in Klang Valley and East Coast region of Malaysia. The factors are analyzed using factor analysis with varimax rotation, to cluster the criteria into several variables to determine the dimensions of Moslem consumers’ perception towards Halal food produce. The result shows that religiosity commitment is a significant determinant for Moslem consumer to purchase Halal products in Malaysia. We also found encouraging result that shopping orientation is among important factor by Muslim consumers in their buying behavior towards Halal products.

This paper aims to explore the roles of interpersonal relationship in managing business relationship in a high-risk and uncertain market. Exporting to a high-risk and uncertain market can lead to a greater possibility of problems occurring; such problems include: not receiving payment due to poor local banking systems; issues with tenders due to political uncertainty, and other problems. Managing business relationships in such markets can be more complex and difficult, exporters have to find ways to overcome the problems. The study followed the traditions of inductive logic and used a qualitative approach by exploring experiences of a small number case of British firms exporting to the Indonesian market. Data was analysed following the procedure of General Inductive Approach (GIA). The finding suggests that interpersonal relationships have greater roles as communication channels, the key mechanism to solve problems and to strengthen interpersonal and organisational trust to reduce perception of risk and uncertainty associated with the market and the business relationship.
