AbstractThere are increasing numbers of published articles in the field of input–output analysis and modelling that use the GTAP input–output database; particularly, in relation to the estimation of carbon, energy and water footprints and the analysis of global value chains and international trade. The policy relevance of those topics is also increasing, thus calling for consistently linking these databases with official statistics. Although, so far, GTAP has been using their own classification and reconciliation methods, this paper develops a new conversion method for the EU that guarantees that the EU-GTAP database respects the new statistical standards and Eurostat official statistics. We recommend for future updates, a shift of the current GTAP classification of industries to the new official standard classifications to which countries are progressively moving to. Otherwise, the lack of matching official data would jeopardize the usefulness of such database. This method can be extended to other similar input–output databases with different classification schemes from the original input data sources.
Reflections on: "The diagnosis of bipolar disorder in pre-pubertal children—what was the controversy about and what did we learn as a result?"
Authors: James Anthony 
Published: April 2020

AbstractIt can be argued that the controversy over paediatric bipolar disorder has been useful in highlighting the issue of bipolar disorder in youths generally. Arising out of this controversy is the recognition that, besides a more uniformed approach to diagnosis, the issue of the disparity in treatments between the US and UK, especially psychopharmacology, needs addressing.

Abstract
Background
In 2011 the Massachusetts Department of Public Health issued regulations pursuant to 2010 Massachusetts youth sports concussion legislation that provided policies and procedures for persons engaged in the prevention, training, management, and return-to-activity for students who sustain head injury during interscholastic athletics, including Athletic Directors (ADs).

Methods
A survey instrument was developed with participation from injury prevention experts at the Boston University School of Medicine, the Massachusetts Department of Public Health, and ADs. An electronic survey was sent to all AD members of the Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association to assess their perceptions of implementation of the sports concussion law.

Results
Response rate was 75% (260/346). The mean rating on a 0–10 scale (10 being “very important”) on importance of the law for student safety was 9.24, and the mean rating of the law’s impact on workload was 5.54. Perceived impact on workload varied as a function of whether or not the school also employed an athletic trainer (t = 2.24, p = 0.03). Most respondents (88%) reported that their school had a concussion management team, and 74% reported that they were informed “always” (31%) or “often” (43%) when a student-athlete experienced a head injury in a venue other than extracurricular sports. Most respondents (95%) endorsed that “all” or “most” school nurses were “very knowledgeable” about the law and regulations. Approximately half of all respondents endorsed that “all” or “most” teachers and guidance counselors were “very knowledgeable” about the law and regulations; 76% endorsed that “all” or “most” of students’ physicians were “very knowledgeable” about the law and regulations; 59% endorsed that “all” or “most” parents were “very knowledgeable” about the law and regulations. Sixty-six percent endorsed that student-athletes with concussion “often” (10%) or “sometimes” (56%) misrepresent their symptoms to accelerate return-to-play; and, 70% perceived that student-athletes with concussion “often” (15%) or “sometimes” (55%) misrepresent their symptoms to avoid academics.

Conclusions
ADs perceive the sports concussion legislation as very important to student safety and positively assess implementation of the law and associated regulations. More effort is needed to increase understanding of the law among stakeholders including teachers, parents, and physicians.

AbstractBackgroundCurrently, no data is available regarding the association between professional experience or limb dominance and the prevalence of asymptomatic knee joint lesions in adult professional male soccer players.HypothesisThe prevalence of the accumulated changes increases with training experience. This is especially true for the dominant leg, which is involved in a large proportion of the athletes’ movements.Study DesignLevel 2 cross-sectional cohort studyMethodsMRI was used to assess the condition of 94 knee joints in 47 adult professional male soccer players (mean age 25.7 ± 4.6 years, BMI 22.8 ± 1.4). Previous surgery on joints was an exclusion criterion. No football player had knee injuries (including fresh bruises) for at least 3 months before the examination. All the scans were performed using a 1.5T MRI scanner and a slice thickness of 3 mm. The images were blindly analyzed by two experienced radiologists. We analyzed all the three compartments of the knee joint. We consider a chondral lesion already from grade I in modified Noyes and Stabler classification system. To assess the influence of soccer training experience, all players were divided into two groups: group 1 formed from players with less than 20 years of experience and group 2 with more than 20 years of experience.ResultsOne hundred percent of the soccer players had at least one chondral and meniscal lesion.In both legs, the posterior horn of the medial meniscus (95.6%) was the most frequent site of injury. Most of the injuries were classified as grade II injuries (73.3% for the dominant and 75.6% for the non-dominant leg).Experience and age of the athletes significantly increased the probability of subcortical bone lesions. They were significantly positively correlated with the grades of patellar lesions and lesions of the patellar surface of the femur and significantly negatively correlated with the grades of lesions of posterior horn of lateral meniscus and anterior horn of medial meniscus.No statistically significant differences in the prevalence and grades of cartilage and meniscal lesions in the dominant and non-dominant limb were observed.ConclusionSoccer practice is associated with the increased prevalence of asymptomatic chondral and meniscal lesions.The probability of subcortical bone lesions significantly increases with training experience and age. These factors are also positively correlated with the grades of patellar lesions and lesions of the patellar surface of the femur.The prevalence and grade of asymptomatic chondral and meniscal lesions is independent of leg dominance.
Construct freeform surface directly in an initial layout of an off-axis reflective image system by seed curve extension and simulated annealing algorithm

Published: April 2020

AbstractIn this paper, a method of how to construct a freeform surface directly in an off-axis reflective image system is proposed. The method includes both the seed curve extension algorithm and simulated annealing algorithm. Firstly, the sample points on the unkown freeform surface were be obtained quickly by the seed curve extension algorithm. Then the continuity of the freeform surface is evaluated by calculating the angle between the normal vectors at the adjacent sample points. At last the freeform surface was fitted to an extended polynomials using simulated annealing algorithm. The method is employed to construct a freeform surface directly which is used as a primary mirror in an initial layout of an off-axis two-mirror system.
Stability, variation, and application of AFIS fiber length distributions
Authors: HINDS Zachary , KELLY Brendan Robert , HEQUET Eric Francois 
Published: April 2020

Abstract
Background
Fiber length is one of the primary quality parameters for the cotton industry when considering the textile performance and end-use quality of cotton. Currently, many decisions regarding cotton fiber length utilize the industry standard measurement device, i.e., the High Volume Instrument (HVI). However, it is documented that complete fiber length distributions hold more information than the currently reported HVI length parameters, i.e., upper half mean length (UHML) and uniformity index (UI). An alternative measurement device, the Advanced Fiber Information System (AFIS), is able to capture additional information about fiber length distribution. What is currently not known is how much additional information the AFIS length distribution holds.

Results
The stability of differences in within-sample variation in fiber length captured by the AFIS length distribution by number characterizing differences between samples was deemed stable across the extended testing period. A diverse breeding population was evaluated and four significant sources of within sample variation in length were identified. A comparison of the ability between HVI length parameters and AFIS fiber length distribution to correctly categorize breeding lines to their family was performed. In all cases, the AFIS fiber length distribution more accurately identified germplasm families.

Conclusions
The long-term stability test of the AFIS fiber length distribution by number shows that the measurement is stable and can be used to assess differences across samples. However, more information about within-sample variation in fiber length than that can be captured by length parameters is needed to assess differences across samples in many applications. Four length parameters outperform two length parameters when trying to identify the familial background of the samples in this set. These parameters characterize distributional shape differences that are not captured by the standard AFIS length parameters, UQL and short fiber content by number (SFCn). These findings suggest that additional types of variation in cotton fiber length are not captured and are therefore not currently used in most cotton breeding programs.

CAN INDIA-PAKISTAN SPORTS PROMOTE PEACE? A MCDM APPROACH
Authors: Ali Yousaf , Arif Shayan , Munir Fahad , Azeem Muhammad Bilal , Ullah Khan Amin 
Published: April 2020

Sports is an effective vehicle that is being adopted by almost every country to improve ties with other countries. India and Pakistan share a long border, but do not share a very pleasant history. Over the years, these two countries have shared a fierce rivalry and no measures that have been taken have had a long-term positive impact on their relationship. None of the attempts at reconciliation have proved to be completely successful, and the relationship remains unbalanced. The factors that can improve the ties between the two countries are numerous, and sports is one of them. The objective of this study is to determine how much of an influence cricket, being the most popular sport in both countries, has on the overall relationship between them. For this purpose, data was gathered from people from both countries through a questionnaire-based survey and then analyzed by MCDM approaches like AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) and TOPSIS (Technique for Order Performance by Similarity to Ideal Solution). After performing the quantitative analysis, the study hopes to come to a solid conclusion about what people from both countries think about which alternative has the greatest influence on the ties between the two countries, and how the selected factors are influenced by the type of cricket matches played between India and Pakistan. The positive results obtained from this research could be of great importance for the governments as well as for the people of both countries. This can divert the minds of people and politicians from all the controversies and wars in the past, and help move towards more healthy competition on the sports field.
DETERMINING THE AREA SIZES OF EACH PRODUCT CATEGORY IN A DEPARTMENT STORE USING MULTI-CRITERIA DECISION MAKING METHODOLOGIES
Authors: Dinc Yalcin Gulcin , Kamisli Ozturk Zehra 
Published: April 2020

In a department store, customers have the opportunity to reach a wide range of consumer goods from different product categories within a single store area. Store layouts generally show the size and location of each department, any permanent structures, fixture locations, and customer traffic patterns. Determining the area sizes to be allocated to each product category and the layout of these areas in the department store is a strategic planning decision problem. The layout problem has been studied in the literature with different approaches where the sizes of the areas are known. The first purpose of this paper is to determine the area sizes of each product category.

Customers decide to go to a department store for several reasons including the quality of products, services, location, etc. These reasons have been studied in the literature. However, “for which product categories do customers decide to go to a department store” is an open question. The second purpose of this paper is to find the frequency of product categories from the viewpoint of the customers. Therefore, our aim is to obtain the required results in a systematic way with multi-criteria decision making methodologies. For this purpose, we perform the Analytic Network Process (ANP) and the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) from the viewpoints of department managers and customers, respectively.

In the ANP model, several tangible and intangible criteria such as product costs, the demands of customers, sales history, overall inventory, floor space and relationship with suppliers are chosen, and the intersections between them are specified. Pairwise comparisons are made by department store managers. The ANP outcome is the weight of each product category, and these weights are considered the percentage of the area size within the store from the viewpoint of the department stores. In the AHP model, a simple model is constructed to define the customers’ preference for each product category. Pairwise comparisons between product categories are made by the customers. Therefore, the outcome of the AHP model is the weight of each product category, and this is the preference of each product category from the viewpoint of the customers. The outcomes show that these weights may be different. This is an expected situation since even if a product category is preferred by some as the driver to visit a department store, the footprint of that category in the actual store may be small. The outcome from customers provides feedback to department store managers on which product category should be diversified as well as the area sizes of those categories.

Authors: V Shanujas , Radha Ramanan Thiyagarajan 
Published: April 2020

The work identifies and ranks the competencies that positively influence the customer services and thereby is helpful in customer satisfaction. The study is conducted in a cooperative bank in one of the districts of South India. Identification of the competencies was made after review of the literatures, interviews with the employees, and expert opinion and a consensus was arrived at. Analytic Hierarchy Process is used to rank the competencies. Five job competencies are identified to be ranked. Three distinct groups of employees are identified, and responses are collected in the scale proposed by Saaty (1980). Normalization of the data is made by computing the geometric mean of the responses. The ranking reveals that relationship management competency has the top most priority and the teambuilding, and technical competency the least priority in providing the customer service. The major finding of the study is identification of cognitive competency as most important for managers and accountants and the clerical staff requires relationship management competency to achieve customer satisfaction. This finding will be helpful in identifying the training needs of three categories of employees in improving their customer service performance through job competencies.

Published: April 2020

Analisis data adalah salah satu tahap penting dalam penelitian kimia. Kesalahan dalam menganalisis data akan menyebabkan kebingungan dalam menjawab hipotesa, permasalahan dan tujuan penelitian. Kesalahan analisis data akan menghasilkan kesimpulan yang salah. Kesalahan dalam menarik kesimpulan berarti kesalahan dalam menjelaskan suatu sistem. Hasil-hasil penelitian tentang perilaku sistem gas menunjukkan bahwa gas dapat dikelompokkan dalam dua bagian yaitu gas ideal dan gas nyata. Gas ideal mengikuti hukum gas ideal PV = nRT dengan harga tetapan R adalah 0,0821 L.atm.K-1 mol-1. Sedangkan gas nyata mengikuti salah satu hukum gas nyata yaitu persamaan van der Waals nRT. Dari hasil analisis data suatu gas dengan Mathcad diperoleh bahwa bila gas diasumsikan mengikuti hukum gas ideal maka fitting terbaik terjadi bila harga R adalah 0,076 L.atm.K-1mol-1 dengan standar deviasi terkecil σ(R) adalah 0,993

Authors: Alrafadi Khalad 
Published: April 2020

This paper provides a comparative analysis regarding the performance of 17 Libyan banks over the period 2004 up to 2010. According to the relevant literature, there are few studies that combine both the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) technique and Tobit model for assessing the efficiency levels and subsequently examining the determinants of efficiency for the banking sector in Libya. For this study, the DEA technique was used to estimate cost, allocative, and technical efficiency of sampled banks by using DEAP software. In the second stage, Tobit regression model was used to identify potential determinants of efficiency by using Stata10 software. The results showed that the specialized banks have exhibited higher mean cost efficiency relative to commercial and private banks. The results of efficiency determinants showed positive relationship between bank efficiency, and return on investment (ROA); risk; and size of operation (SO). This paper concludes with some policy implications of the results.

In many contexts of contemporary special education, its main present and future challenges are the implementation of effective inclusive education, the preparation of the required conditions, space and relations of safe functioning of a child with disabilities or special education needs together with healthy, able-bodied peers. Are the long-standing dreams of parents and many special educators regarding the equal rights of all people with disabilities, and in particular the right to education closest to the child’s place of residence, genuinely achieved nowadays? The diagnosis of selected municipal schools shows the real situation of the implementation of inclusive education. Are these successes already being achieved today? Or is it still a educational reality?
