A psycho-philosophical view on the ‘conceptualisation’ of psychological measure development
Authors: Du Preez Hannelie , De Klerk Werner 
Published: July 2019

Orientation: When researchers’ understanding and application of ‘conceptualisation’ can allude to nearly anything, it loses its philosophical purpose and stature. Negating the philosophical meaning of the term ‘conceptualisation’, because it appears obvious, will result in research inquiries becoming ambiguous and ideologically diminished. Paradigms and theoretical frameworks are rooted in philosophical principles, yet researchers often ‘conceptualise’ and conduct inquiries without understanding the foundation of their applied scientific methods.Research purpose: The historicity of psychological measurement development depicts a fusion of transdisciplinary knowledge systems and the stature of scientific methods is comprehensive. Yet the philosophical lenses through which researchers ‘conceptualise’ their measure to understand psychological behaviour are not as clear.Motivation for the study: Contemporary psychometric literature postulates the ‘conceptualisation phase’ as a mere point of departure to develop a psychological measure, whereas philosophical literature depicts ‘conceptualisation’ as the mainstay of any research inquiry.Research approach/design and method: A qualitative design was used with the conceptual analysis of terminology as approach. Textual or typographical psychometric and psychological literature was purposively sampled and inductively and deductively analysed, using the philosophical framework of Van der Walt and Potgieter.Main findings: The definition of the ‘conceptualisation phase’ is principally characterised as the scientific method to measure the scientific reality, while the integral human component, represented by the measure developer, is overlooked.Practical/managerial implications: Insights derived can enthuse future dialogues on the purpose and importance of the conceptualisation phase in the development of psychological measures.Contribution/value-add: A potential delineation of what the ‘conceptualisation phase’ should encapsulate is proposed.

Published: July 2019

The effect of predeformation on corrosion of ASTM A106B pipeline steel exposed to 1.7 mM sodium chloride droplets covered by simulated diluted bitumen was evaluated. The microstructures of ASTM A106B pipeline steel with and without predeformation were examined by electron backscatter diffraction and optical microscope. Corrosion of pipeline steel under the chloride droplet covered by simulated diluted bitumen for 5 min was studied with and without predeformation using scanning electron microscopy. Corrosion was initiated at the surface of ASTM A106B pipeline steel after 5 min of exposure. The predeformation increased the number of pits initiated at the steel surface and the number of partially dissolved inclusions. Scanning electron microscopy, profilometry, and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy measurements were used to characterize the corrosion of the specimens with and without prior deformation after 24 h of exposure to an oil-covered droplet. The corrosion products coalesced and formed a small circular ring which deviated from the geometric center of the droplet. The diameters of the circular rings for the unbent and pre-bent specimens were 2.371±0.125 mm and 2.465±0.046 mm, respectively; the distances between the circular ring centers and droplet centers were 0.599±0.124 mm and 0.620±0.190 mm, respectively. The average corrosion penetration of the predeformed specimen was 1.18±0.09 times higher than that of the specimen without predeformation.

Protolith-Related Thermal Controls on the Decoupling of Sn and W in Sn-W Metallogenic Provinces: Insights from the Nanling Region, China

Published: July 2019

Abstract
The Nanling region of South China hosts the largest W-Sn metallogenic province in the world, accounting for more than 54% of global tungsten resources as well as important resources of tin and rare metals. An important feature of this province, which is shared by a number of other W-Sn metallogenic provinces, is that W deposits occur separately from Sn and Sn-W deposits, with the latter concentrated in the western part of the region (especially along the deep, NE-trending Chenzhou-Linwu fault) and the W deposits to the east of them. All the deposits are associated with ilmenite series, peraluminous granites. However, the granites associated with the Sn and Sn-W deposits can be distinguished from the W granites by their higher bulk-rock εNd values and their higher zircon εHf values. Most importantly, the Sn and Sn-W granites are characterized by higher zircon saturation temperatures (800 ± 20°C) than the W granites (650°–750°C). The Sn and Sn-W granites also contain abundant mantle-derived mafic microgranular enclaves, whereas such enclaves are rare in the W granites. A model is proposed in which the protolith to the W granites released W to the melt as a result of the breakdown of muscovite. The temperature of melting, however, was too low for biotite to melt. In the west, particularly along the Chenzhou-Linwu fault (the location of the Sn and Sn-W deposits), higher temperatures enabled the breakdown of both muscovite and biotite and the consequent release of both Sn and W to form Sn and Sn-W granites. This model, which is based on differences in the protolith melting temperature and thus mobilization temperatures for Sn and W, is potentially applicable to any Sn-W metallogenic province in which the Sn and Sn-W deposits are spatially separated from the W deposits.
Target Search for Transcription Factors on DNA Chains
Authors: Sereno Luiz Otávio Rodrigues Alves , Acebal José Luiz 
Published: July 2019

Among many structures in the cells of living beings, there are proteins called transcription factors (TF) that are responsible to inhibit or promote the transcription of the DNA. To accomplish their function, the transcription factors perform aleatory searches around the cytoplasm (for prokaryotic cells) and along the DNA chain as well for specific targets located in the DNA. Its movement fits into the class of anomalous Brownian. The efficiency in TFs search has implications in the cellular copy and in protection against viruses, hence the knowledge of the mechanism is of great interest. In the present work, we study the searching process of the TFs by simulating the anomalous Brownian motion through the cytoplasm and DNA chain by means of Levy flights through a lattice model and through a free grid model. The final distribution of positions of the TF are obtained. The search efficiency is investigated in terms of the model parameters.

Resilience to violence by focusing on gender
Gender as a construct has been introduced into criminology half a century ago and has contributed to an understanding of the relation between gender and violence. Therefore, when improving resilience of professionals encountering violent behaviour, gender might be an important construct to take into account. We know from the literature that men and women do not experience victimization and perpetration in the same way but at the same time there are some blind spots with regard to male victimization and female perpetration. Increasing resilience against violence is only possible when we do not automatically use gender stereotyping in understanding and reducing violence.

When domestic violence and organized crime come together… The resilient professional in the borderland of law enforcement and social work
There is casuistry, where on the one hand it is the turn of the professionals from the investigation, enforcement and prosecution and on the other hand the turn of the social workers from the social domain. This is the case, for example, when domestic violence occurs in circles that are also involved in organized crime. In theory it is possible that the professionals involved work together, but it is also not impossible that they will get into each other’s waters because they have a different vision of the problem to be tackled and, of course, also have to fulfill other roles and tasks based on their positions. A professional must be able to handle complex situations of this kind.

‘Our work is quite an experience…’ Mental resilience within the work context of criminal investigation teams.
This study provides an in-depth analysis of the resilience of criminal investigators in the Netherlands. Observational studies within three criminal investigation teams and 45 interviews with investigators and team leaders revealed that confrontations with human suffering, decision-making, and dirty and physically demanding circumstances at the crime scene can sometimes be (very) challenging. However, investigators have relatively little difficulty with the strain resulting from the operational stressors to which they are exposed during investigations. They know how to apply different coping strategies to reduce stress. However, this does not apply to organisational stressors. The way in which their work is organised regularly causes tension, dissatisfaction and frustration. The research highlights that investigators suffer more from these organisational stressors than from the stressors that can be associated with criminal investigations. Attention should therefore be focused on strengthening their ‘internal resilience’, the article makes a number of recommendations to support this.
Maturité du lean manufacturing et degré d’alignement du système de contrôle de gestion : le cas des entreprises industrielles françaises
Authors: Chanegrih Tarek , Creusier Jordane 
Published: July 2019

L’article cherche à comprendre l’effet de la maturité (ancienneté et intensité de mise en place) du lean manufacturing sur le degré d’alignement des systèmes de contrôle de gestion. Un échantillon de 171 entreprises industrielles françaises ayant formellement mis en place le lean manufacturing a été constitué. Les résultats montrent que seules les entreprises françaises les plus matures arrivent à un alignement total. Cet alignement, quand il s’obtient, est à deux étages. Une première étape concerne l’alignement des systèmes de contrôle destinés au niveau opérationnel : l’habilitation des salariés et la disponibilité de l’information sous forme visuelle. Une seconde étape se traduit par l’alignement des systèmes de contrôle de niveau hiérarchique supérieur : la chaîne de valeur des coûts, la simplification du système de reporting et du suivi des stocks. Toutefois, l’effet de la dimension temporelle peut être atténué par l’intensité de mise en place du lean manufacturing.

Nous analysons dans cet article l’influence des responsabilités familiales sur l’intention de croissance des entrepreneurs naissants. A l’instar de Jennings et McDougald (2007) et Davis et Shaver (2012), nous accordons une attention particulière aux statuts parental et marital pour étudier l’intention de croissance. Dans la perspective de l’enracinement familial (Aldrich et Cliff, 2003) et des théories du rôle social (Eagly, 1987) et du soutien conjugal (Kanter, 1977; Nikina et al, 2015), notre recherche enrichit la littérature sur le genre et l’intention de croissance. Nous distinguons les femmes selon leur situation parentale et maritale dépassant ainsi la dichotomie homme/femme (de Bruin et al., 2007).

De l’information à l’influence
Authors: Le Crosnier Hervé 
Published: July 2019

Le numérique a changé la science. Il permet la diffusion généralisée et ouverte des travaux de recherche et encourage la construction de communs de la connaissance. Mais il a modifié également la conception de la recherche en accentuant la captation de données et de traces, souvent dans des conditions épistémologiques et déontologiques douteuses. En particulier, l’usage par l’industrie de l’influence des travaux appuyés sur les traces menées en psychologie, sociologie et marketing met en danger toute l’architecture sociale au profit de quelques plateformes géantes. Comment dégager un nouvel espace démocratique dans ce cadre ? En considérant que l’internet est plus qu’un outil, et constitue un écosystème dans lequel nous sommes plongés, et donc dans lequel l’ensemble des affrontements ou coopérations qui font l’histoire humaine se retrouvent et s’appuient sur de nouvelles formes de régulation.
Les enjeux démocratiques de la transition énergétique territoriale : enquête sur la coopérative énergétique citoyenne de Iéna
Authors: Blanchet Thomas , Herzberg Carsten 
Published: July 2019

Depuis quelques années, les coopératives énergétiques citoyennes se sont positionnées comme des actrices majeures de la transition énergétique allemande. En prenant comme point de départ les recherches existantes sur la « démocratie énergétique », nous nous interrogeons dans cet article sur les fondements et les impacts démocratiques de projets participatifs dans le domaine de l’énergie. Pour cela, nous nous appuierons sur les résultats d’une enquête qualitative effectuée au sein de la ville de Iéna (Thuringe, Allemagne), où une coopérative énergétique citoyenne s’est créée en 2011 et a acheté l’année suivante 2 % des actions de l’entreprise municipale d’énergie. À l’aide d’entretiens approfondis, d’une étude de documents et d’observations, nous examinons le travail de légitimation politique nécessaire à la mise en place et au maintien d’un tel projet, ainsi que son impact sur les politiques énergétiques locales. D’une manière générale, la coopérative énergétique a contribué à renforcer la participation citoyenne dans les débats locaux sur l’énergie. Cependant, le cas de Iéna est également révélateur de tensions entre le but initial des fondateurs de la coopérative (faire avancer une transition énergétique inclusive et participative à l’échelle locale) et les intérêts, notamment financiers, de ses membres. Ces tensions contribuent à mettre en danger la légitimité politique de la coopérative comme moteur d’une transition énergétique démocratique.
Simulating lattice thermal conductivity in semiconducting materials using high-dimensional neural network potential
Authors: Minamitani Emi , Ogura Masayoshi , Watanabe Satoshi 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
We demonstrate that a high-dimensional neural network potential (HDNNP) can predict the lattice thermal conductivity of semiconducting materials with an accuracy that is comparable to that of density functional theory (DFT) calculation. After a training procedure based on force, the root mean square error between the forces predicted by HDNNP and DFT is less than 40 meV Å−1. As typical examples, we present the results of Si and GaN bulk crystals. The deviation from the thermal conductivity calculated using DFT is within 1% at 200 to 500 K for Si and within 5.4% at 200 to 1000 K for GaN.
Characterization of the karyotype and accumulation of repetitive sequences in Australian Darling hardyhead Craterocephalus amniculus (Atheriniformes, Teleostei)

Belonging to the order Atheriniformes, Craterocephalus is one of the most widespread genera of freshwater fishes in Australia, spanning along the northern coast from central Western Australia to central New South Wales and across the Murray-Darling and Lake Eyre basins. In this study, both conventional cytogenetic techniques (Giemsa, C-banding, CMA3/DAPI staining), and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) with telomeric DNA and rDNA probes were used to examine the karyotypes and other chromosomal characteristics of Darling hardyhead (Craterocephalus amniculus) from New South Wales, Australia. We identified a diploid chromosome number 2n = 48 (NF = 58) in all studied individuals. FISH with rDNA probes showed a nonsyntenic pattern, with signals on one pair of subtelocentric chromosomes for 5S rDNA and one pair of submetacentric chromosomes for 28S rDNA. C-banding displayed the accumulation of constitutive heterochromatin in the centromeric regions of approximately 40 chromosomes. CMA3/DAPI fluorescence staining revealed extremely GC-rich signals in the pericentromeric region of one submetacentric chromosomal pair with size polymorphism. We detected telomeric signals at the end of all chromosomes and no interstitial signals.
Assessment of Concentrations of Heavy Metals in Soils around ESPRO Asphalt Production and Quarry Site, Wasinmi, Osun State Southwest Nigeria

Published: July 2019

This work examined the concentration of heavy metals in soil samples around ESPRO Asphalt Production and Quarry Site located in Wasinmi, Irewole Local Government Area, Osun State. A total of nine (9) soil samples were collected from three points with distances of 0, 1 and 2 km from the quarry site. Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS) was used to determine the concentrations of heavy metals in the soil samples. The results revealed that the mean values metal contents in the soil samples analyzed were in the order Fe>Zn>Cu>Cr>Mn>Pb>Cd. The concentration of the heavy metals in the soil samples were found to decrease as the soil depths increased from 0-25 cm and also as the spatial distances of the sampled locations increased from the quarry plant.
The study also showed that low concentrations of Lead (Pb) had a mean concentration value of 0.87 ppm and Cadmium (Cd) with a mean concentration value of 0.29 ppm. It was also observed that Iron (Fe) had the highest mean concentration value of 148.8 ppm. The study concluded that quarrying activities raised the soil heavy metal contents up to the range of about 2 km away from the quarry site. This can be attributed to the number of years of mining and excavation activities in the study area and accumulation of the heavy metal concentrations over time and this could be dangerous to the site environments, especially for farming and groundwater exploration activities in the area.

AbstractAre individuals willing to intervene in public violence? Half a century of research on the “bystander effect” suggests that the more bystanders present at an emergency, the less likely each of them is to provide help. However, recent meta‐analytical evidence questions whether this effect generalizes to violent emergencies. Besides the number of bystanders present, an alternative line of research suggests that pre‐existing social relations between bystanders and conflict participants are important for explaining whether bystanders provide help. The current paper offers a rare comparison of both factors—social relations and the number of bystanders present—as predictors of bystander intervention in real‐life violent emergencies. We systematically observed the behavior of 764 bystanders across 81 violent incidents recorded by surveillance cameras in Copenhagen, Denmark. Bystanders were sampled with a case–control design, their behavior was observed and coded, and the probability of intervention was estimated with multilevel regression analyses. The results confirm our predicted association between social relations and intervention. However, rather than the expected reversed bystander effect, we found a classical bystander effect, as bystanders were less likely to intervene with increasing bystander presence. The effect of social relations on intervention was larger in magnitude than the effect of the number of bystanders. We assess these findings in light of recent discussions about the influence of group size and social relations in human helping. Further, we discuss the utility of video data for the assessment of real‐life bystander behavior.
