Understanding Gendered Perspective to Corruption: Evidence from Pakistan
Authors: Ilyas Muhammad , Rabia Rasheed  , Faiz Rafia 
Published: June 2020

This study focuses on the debate that whether women are as corrupt as men, or their propensity to corruption is less than their male counterparts on account of their soft gender? It also encompasses the dynamics of networking, with particular emphasis on sifarish (use of influence for undue benefits) and networking in gender perspective. Are women less corrupt than men? Do the sifarish and networking have gender biasness, how women become part of these networks and what role they play therein? These are the questions addressed in this study. An interpretive approach of qualitative research has been adopted keeping in view the subjective nature of networking and corruption. Semi-structured interviews from seventeen General / Senior Managers of public sector organizations were conducted to get their input on the research questions, middle management of public sector has been selected with a view that they have immediate exposure to corruption occurrences in the society. In addition to it, in depth review of the relevant available literature has been made. It has been concluded that apparent image of women being less susceptible to corruption is not related with their sex or gender, rather it is due to their less exposure to business and economic world which, even as of today, is dominated by men This study will add to the literature on role of gender in corruption, sifarish, networking and favoritism in the Pakistani context. This will also help management practitioners in working out their strategies in defining the role of women in the anti-corruption campaigns in business and political sectors. This study has acquired feedback from the middle management employees belonging to public sector organizations as they are directly related with formation and implementation of policies, which is also a sampling limitation. Future research should be carried out on diverse samples covering private organizations and non-professional people.

<p>This study intended to explore the implementation of promoting “energy education” in Taiwan’s elementary schools. The research adopted a questionnaire (Likert five-point scale) from teachers’ view in three dimensions to construct examination. The 45 participants come from 10 different primary schools distributed across Taiwan, which participate in <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">e</span>nergy education program in the second period (2015-2017). The data was analyzed by ANOVA, mean and standard deviations of the viewpoints of the participants in the energy education learning achievement of the primary schools. The first findings in this research is, the program of energy education was most effective in “energy attitude” (M=4.282, SD=0.814), followed by “energy awareness” (M=4.049, SD=0.720) and “energy behavior” (M=3.983, SD=0.875). It shows that students have positive energy attitude, but they were relatively weak at energy saving behavior. Secondly, there is statistically significant difference in overall students learning performance with urban areas are higher than rural areas. Finally, it is suggested that in addition to strengthen energy attitudes and energy awareness, we should encourage students to take action in save energy in their daily life. Furthermore, we should invest more resources to rural areas to balance the students’ performances between urban and rural areas.</p>

Methods for assessing territory pollution by oil or petroleum product spills
Authors: Chelombitko S. I. , Piven V. V. 
Published: June 2020

During the development of oil and gas fields and transportation of hydrocarbons, the ecology of regions is subject to various negative impacts. The most severe consequences for the environment are caused by accidental spills of oil or petroleum products, which occur due to through damage to pipelines. Polluted territories are subject to mandatory reclamation in accordance with government regulations and industry regulations. However, despite the measures taken by the administrations of the northern regions to increase the rate of reclamation of damaged territories in recent years, there has been a trend of growth of areas contaminated with hydrocarbons.Various remediation technologies that have been tested in warm and temperate climates are not very effective in regions with permafrost. Pollution of the daytime surface with oil or petroleum products leads to an increase in the absorption of the sun's radiant energy, the growth of the seasonal thaw layer and the development of destructive processes for the territory. To achieve a positive effect as a result of rehabilitation measures, it is necessary to take into account the individual characteristics of the territory and the extent of its pollution.
CVT Connect: Creating safe and accessible social media for people with learning disabilities
Authors: Williams Peter , Gibson Philip 
Published: June 2020

BACKGROUND: Camphill Village Trust (CVT) is a National charity, supporting around 500 adults with learning disabilities in community settings. OBJECTIVE: To co-design a social media platform to enable people supported at CVT to enjoy the benefits social media can offer, in a ‘safe space’. METHODS: A survey was undertaken of potential users to determine existing technology use and what was wanted from a social media platform. This was constructed according to findings, and solo and group interviews and another survey captured usage and opinions. RESULTS: Posting and reading the posts of others were popular, but use of other facilities (e.g. noticeboard) was limited. People valued its role as a social connector, and the closed environment was also seen as a benefit. Staff used it to aid social interactions and as a learning tool. Barriers included remembering passwords, uploading photos and lack of support, the latter due to competing time demands on staff. CONCLUSIONS: The study showed that it is possible to involve people with learning disabilities in the development of an electronic resource, and that a safe, protected platform can be utilised for both entertainment and education. Some staff were reticent, which highlighted the need for training and time allocation.

Published: June 2020

BACKGROUND: Post-operative cognitive dysfunction is a common complication after heart surgery that affects up to 60% of all open-heart surgery patients. Despite its prevalence, limited attention has been given to different methods to retrain cognition in open-heart surgery patients. OBJECTIVE: To examine whether 3-dimensional multiple object tracking (3D MOT) can be used to detect changes in cognitive function in open-heart surgery patients. METHODS: In total, 16 open-heart surgery patients (age: 59.43 [Formula: see text] 12.99 years) from a Midwestern Canadian hospital were recruited. The patients completed a cognitive assessment, including 3D MOT and other standardized neurocognitive tests at 3 time points: 1 to 2 days pre-surgery, at discharge or 1-week post-surgery (whichever came first), and at 12-weeks post-surgery. RESULTS: No significant differences were detected between baseline and 1-week/discharge measurements on all measures. Patients improved significantly from 1-week/discharge to 12-weeks in 3D MOT scores. A similar yet non-significant ([Formula: see text] 0.07) trend was found on some neurocognitive tests (i.e., Montreal Cognitive Assessment). CONCLUSION: No significant decline from pre- to 1-week/discharge post-surgery was found on all measures. 3D MOT detected post-surgical cognitive changes in open-heart surgery patients. Future research is warranted to explore the potential of 3D MOT in retraining cognition after heart surgery.

Authors: Guisset J.-L. 
Published: June 2020

Phase-locked klystrons in the 27 to 37 GHz range, constitute the electromagnetic field source of a molecular beam resonance apparatus. The klystrons are phase-locked in the whole of their working range by the use of fixed microwave reference frequencies and calibrated I. F. interpolating frequencies.
The servo-system was tested by a phase comparison at 22.8 GHz, between a phase-locked klystron and a N15H3-maser ; this set up enabled us to measure the frequency stability of the klystron. The value is : Δf/f = 8.10-11 for a 1 sec. measurement-time.
Observations, par ballon stratosphérique, du spectre solaire à 1,85 microns avec un pouvoir de résolution de 135.000
Authors: Zander R. 
Published: June 2020

Le 6 avril 1970, l'Institut d'Astrophysique de l'Université de Liège a lancé une nacelle stratosphérique transportant un télescope de 40 cm d'ouverture et un spectromètre à réseau du type Ebert-Fastie, de 2,50 m de focale. Les spectres solaires obtenus dans la bande de H2O, centrée à 1,87 microns, avec une résolution spectrale de .04 cm-1, ont permis de déterminer avec grande précision plus de 60 raies solaires pour la plupart non encore identifiées, entre 5480.0 et 5382 cm-1.
L'étude de raies d'absorption dues à la vapeur d'eau tellurique indique que la stratosphère est sèche, avec un taux de mélange moyen de l'ordre de 2 X 10-6gg-1 ; la possibilité d'une augmentation du taux de mélange au-dessus de 40 km d'altitude n'est pas à exclure au stade actuel de l'exploitation des données.
A study by electronic paramagnetic resonance and Mössbauer spectroscopy of some lunar samples collected by Apollo 12
Authors: Duchesne Jules , Read M. , Grandjean F. , Gérard A. , Depireux Joseph 
Published: June 2020

Les auteurs ont soumis à l'étude, par résonance paramagnétique électronique et par effet Mössbauer, quelques échantillons lunaires, sous forme de roches compactes et de poussière, prélevés par Apollo 12 dans l'Océan des Tempêtes.
Ces recherches ont conduit à une importante discordance par rapport aux observations antérieures dues à Apollo 11, à savoir la très faible concentration des composés titanifères. Par contre, la contribution minime des ions ferriques et la présence probable de fer métallique, qui se déduisent de l'examen combiné par les deux méthodes en cause, sont en complet accord avec les analyses dues à la mission précédente.
Gradients spectrophotométriques d'un modèle de noyau de galaxie
Authors: Vandekerkhove Edgard 
Published: June 2020

Le gradient spectrophotométrique est calculé, de l'ultraviolet à l'infra-rouge, pour un noyau de galaxie analogue à celui de M 31. Il est variable selon la longueur d'onde ; il est maximum 4,5 en λ = 0,4µ et il atteint 4,7 en λ = 2,5 µ ; il est minimum 3,1 en λ = 0,6µ et 0,1 en λ = 0,22µ.
Le déplacement dopplérien de tout le spectre vers les grandes longueurs d'onde produit ainsi des effets différents sur ce gradient selon la région spectrale où se font les mesures ; on observe un maximum pour z = 2-1,6-0,3 ou 0 selon que les mesures sont faites respectivement en λ = 2-1-0,5 ou 0,4µ.
Étude par spectroscopie d'absorption dans l'infrarouge des complexes par transfert de charge formés en solution par les halogènes avec différents donneurs d'électron
Authors: Cahay René 
Published: June 2020

Infrared absorption spectrometry offers an excellent way for studying the donor-acceptor complexes with halogens as electron acceptors, as the stretching vibration of the halogen molecule becomes active in infrared in such kind of complexes.
We have studied the position in frequency and the intensity of the halogen stretching vibration band for the complexes of bromine and iodine with benzene and some of its halogenated and methylated derivatives and of iodine with different donors, especially amines and organic sulfur derivatives.
It is shown that the intensity of this band appears to be a characteristic of the donor-acceptor interaction much more sensitive than the frequency shift and can be correctly evaluated from the molecular properties of the partners on the basis of the theory proposed by Person and al.

Experimental results of a kinetic study, in an alcohol-water solvent, led to develop a reaction scheme of two nucleophilic additions simultaneously occuring at the protonated azomethinic bond : [formula]
the first one (I) giving an amino-ether (ki) which can only reverse to the original reactants (k-1) and the second one (II) generating an amino-alcohol(kII) which rapidly decomposes into the final products (P) : α, β-dioxo-dihydrocinnamanilide (C6H5— CO— CO— CO— NH— C6H5) and the corresponding aniline (Z— C6H4— HN2). This process undergoes general acid-base catalysis.
Action of Electromagnetic Radiations on Proteins. I. Irradiation of Bovine Serum Albumin by Gamma Rays
Authors: Colson C. , Fredericq E. 
Published: June 2020

Bovine serum albumin solutions (1 g/dl, pH 7) have been irradiated by moderate and high doses of gamma rays (1 to 50 Mrads) under air and in vacuo.
The ultraviolet spectrum is modified between 250 and 325 nm, the absorbance strongly increasing with dose, particularly at 250 nm and a little less in the 280 nm band. This is interpreted as arising from oxidation of the aromatic rings.
The variations of viscosity and sedimentation coefficients with dose indicate an unfolding of molecules followed by aggregation. The effects are stronger in air than in vacuo.
Chromatographic analysis indicates a progressive destruction of aminoacid residues, the most affected being the sulfur-containing ones and the cyclic ones (Phe, Tyr, and His). The effects are stronger in vacuo than in air.
An important decrease of levorotation at 589 nm is brought about by irradiation and attributed to destruction of asymmetry, either by direct action on the asymmetric carbons or by modifications of their environment.
Enzymic susceptibility to trypsin and chymotrypsin action increases at low doses and decreases at higher doses of irradiation, in reason of denaturing effects followed by aggregation and destruction of aminoacids. Irradiation in the dry state produces different modifications in the ultraviolet spectrum. Viscosity and sedimentation data indicate alterations only at very high doses. The extent of aminoacids destruction is similar to what happens in solution but results are more uniform. Enzymic susceptibility and optical rotation are slightly affected.
Chemically produced OH radicals (Fenton reagent) have very little action on similar properties of serum albumin solutions.
The effects of irradiation are grouped in two main classes. First spectral excitation, denaturation and aggregation mostly due to the action of oxidative radicals such as HO2* which are favoured by oxygen ; second the destruction of aminoacids and the decrease of optical rotation attributed to reducing species such as H* or H2O- which would be inhibited by oxygen.
