Authors: Brdovčak Barbara 
Published: June 2018

AbstractThe aim of this research was to examine the relationship between appraisals of control and value with the positive and negative learning-related achievement emotions and academic success. The research was conducted with psychology and sociology students at the Catholic University of Croatia. The participants completed the Learning-Related Emotion Scales i.e. the Achievement Emotions Questionnaire, Task Value Scale and Control of Learning Beliefs Scale from the Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire and few questions about sociodemographic data including their academic success. The results showed that positive learning-related achievement emotions have a statistically significant positive correlation with academic success, while negative learning-achievement emotions have a statistically significant negative correlation with academic success. There was also correlation between other measured variables. The results were interpreted according to theoretical assumptions and practical implications of the importance of emotions in an academic setting were showed. Key words: academic success; learning-related achievement emotions; subjective control; subjective value; the control-value theory of achievement emotions. ---SažetakCilj je ovog istraživanja bio ispitati povezanost procjena kontrole i vrijednosti s pozitivnim i negativnim emocijama postignuća vezanim uz učenje i akademski uspjeh.

Abstract
“I thought this is like magic”
Authors: Campbell Craig , Futak-Campbell Beatrix 
Published: June 2018

This study applies an eclectic discourse analysis within a poststructuralist framework to data consisting of research interviews with 17 patients attending National Health Service (NHS) clinics for homeopathic treatment in the UK. This combined approach focuses on the fine-grain action orientation of language use while investigating notions of power, subjectivity and discourse. Homeopathic patients’ spontaneous discursive resources demonstrate how broader available discourses of homeopathy are used to negotiate, legitimise and sustain their healthcare choices. In particular, patients orient to three discursive strategies: (1) describing the failures of medicine, to warrant the turn to seek homeopathy; (2) emphasising the extraordinary, curative properties of homeopathy; and (3) constructing homeopathy as an alternative with considerable health benefits. The study shows how these intersubjective constructions are mobilised as social action to perform convincing arguments and at the same time manage and attend to subjects’ own individual personal credibility. Despite all their positive intentions, these strategies end up locating homeopathy in a culture of scepticism and marginalising it from mainstream acceptance.

Published: June 2018

This article examines the second-generation immigrants in California and focuses on their language use and cultural identity as Indonesian-Americans. This study investigated to what extent home language use and community involvement influenced mastery of Indonesian heritage language and what factors affected the forming of cultural identity. Data were drawn from self-assessed Indonesian Oral Proficiency Questionnaire and in-depth interviews of sixteen Indonesian-Americans aged fifteen to early twenties. Their parents were also interviewed as triangulation. Results show that parents’ insistence in using Indonesian as home language and the youths’ investment in support community have enhanced the mastery of Indonesian heritage language. Furthermore, exposure to the language and culture, investment, and community factors have affected the transformation of cultural identity.

Die frühe Sportpolitik des portugiesischen Estado Novo im Spiegel der Vereinspresse
Authors: Weissmann Thomas 
Published: June 2018

The article aims to analyse how the publications of several Lisbon sports clubs responded to an order by several decrees to align the formerly independent sports structures with the regulatory and ideological framework of the portuguese dictatorship in the early 1940s. While abiding to state requirements demanding that sports clubs cooperate in the education of the Portuguese population, the newspapers implemented a strategy which turned these originally restricting demands to their favour. Arguing that the clubs could better contribute to society with less taxation, and integrating such arguments in a nationalistic narrative sucessfully helped the clubs gain more political leeway in the late 1940s and in the 1950s.
Cooling Rate, Hardness and Microstructure of Aluminum Cast Alloys
Authors: Akhyar Hasan 
Published: June 2018

This experiment investigated the cooling curve behavior, hardness and microstructure of two aluminum alloys produced by casting process. There are Al-1.37Zn-1.19Si and Al-1.66Si-1.35Zn derived from melting and alloying a pure aluminum with ADC12 (Al-Si) ingot. Cooling curve recorded from both those two alloys with pouring temperature at 710 oC and the mold temperature kept constant at 220 oC. The result shows, a freezing range of Al-1.37Zn-1.19Si alloy is 643–348 oC and Al-1.66Si-1.35Zn alloy is 621–401 oC. Then cooling rate obtained for Al-1.37Zn-1.19Si is 55.56 oC/S, and Al-1.66Si-1.35Zn is 30.09 oC/S. TThe higher hardness is 40.42 BHN at Al 1.66 Si-1.35Zn, while the lower value is 34.62 BHN on Al-1,37Zn-1,19Si alloy. The hardness value found higher when cooling rate is shorted. The number of silicon present on microstructure is highest in Al-1.37Zn-1.19Si alloy but the hardness value decreases. This is caused by the distribution of the silicon content in the alloy is irregular. It was found that the solidification rate had an effect on hardness, where the freezing rate obtained a high hardness value.
The Design of DSP Electric Vehicle Charging Power Supply
Authors: Jianning Long 
Published: June 2018

In today's society, the speed of industrialization is accelerating, and communications between cities are becoming frequent and closer. It is fast and convenient to promote these rapid developments. Traditional transportation usually are fueled by oil which is burning non-renewable, and fuel that cannot be completely burned. Normally, they will be mainly released into the air in the form of carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide, so fuel trucks bring serious energy and pollution to human’s environment. Therefore, according to the current development situation, this development trend is clearly inconsistent with the laws of human survival, so every country has to develop and improve their green environment. In recent years, some developed countries the electric car to protect the human living environment. The electric car is mainly use the power that stored in the battery stored as a power source to reduce the toxic gas emissions to the air. It can save the oil energy at the same time, so the battery charge is very important. This paper is based on DSP to design an electric vehicle charging power system, charging the battery, mainly for the current development of the status quo, designed clean and environmentally friendly car charging power. From the view of the above problems, this design is based on DSP to design an electric vehicle charging power system, through the DSP event manager to generate PWM control signal to drive thyristor, and then through the power electronics technology, AC-DC conversion DC power supply, and finally to Battery power supply, complete the design. Therefore, this article mainly from the following aspects: (1) DSP is applied in this design. The design of the use of DSP is mainly to the back of the power electronic circuit to provide thyristor drive signal, we know that the 2000 series DSP can provide dead zone PWM to control signal. In Texas Instruments, there are almost 2000 series of DSP are attributed for the MCU series. (2) The application of power electronics in this design. This design is to complete the charge to the battery, to obtain a certain DC power supply. Therefore, there will be using the power electronics technology, from the AC into DC, and lastly to the battery power supply, the entire design contains AC-DC circuit, SCR trigger Circuit, output voltage stabilization circuit.
Effect of Utility Deregulation and Mergers on Consumer Welfare
Authors: Sonenshine Ralph 
Published: June 2018

<p>In the late 1990s, many U.S. states deregulated electric utilities, allowing for competition among power generators. Deregulated states then adopted retail choice programs, allowing customers to choose their power provider. In addition, a significant merger wave among large utilities ensued. How did these events impact consumer welfare? This study examines the effects of utility deregulation and mergers, by analyzing electricity price and output changes among deregulated and regulated states. I find that deregulation may have had a positive effect when states adopted certain measures, such as retail choice or fuel changes, that enhanced competition and lowered costs. Mergers also affected consumer welfare, with differential impacts found between the merger of generation firms versus the merger of generation and transmission companies. </p>

Authors: Rahman AKM Matiur , Mustafa Muhammad 
Published: June 2018

<p>This paper explores the effects of changes in crude oil and gold prices on US Stock market movement. Daily data are used from the first business day of January, 1986 through December30, 2016. Efficient unit root tests (DF-GLS and Ng-Perron) are applied to examine the time series property of the variables in terms of stationarity or non-stationarity. ARDL Bounds Testing is applied for co-integration. Both DF-GLS and Ng-Perron tests confirm non-stationarity of each variable and depict I (1) behavior of all the variables in log-levels, included in this study. The ARDL-Bounds testing confirm co-integration among the variables. There is evidence of long-run convergence among all these variables with very tepid adjustment toward the equilibrium. Short-run negative effects of changes in gold and crude oil prices on US stock market returns are observed. The effect is statistically significant from gold price changes, but insignificant from crude oil price changes.</p>
Demographic Dynamics, Savings, Investment and Current Account
Authors: Rusek Antonin 
Published: June 2018

<p class="Default">The upturn in the world economy brought with it the renewed attention to the issues of current account imbalances. Whereas large part of it is political, the issue still attracts some economic attention. In this paper the empirical side of the current account dynamics is addressed. We enquire of the relationships between the current account and savings dynamics, with the emphasis on the role of the “high savings” demographic cohorts (the population and/or labor force between 40 and 64). With the emphasis on the EUs “large” countries, we conclude that there is a significant role of this “high saving” population group in determining the current account dynamics for the consistent “high” surpluses countries of Germany and Netherlands.</p><p class="Default">The role of this population group is, however, rejected for France, Italy and Spain. In those countries the current account dynamics is dominated by (seemingly unexpected) liberalization of capital flows and the subsequent need for stabilization policies. Similarly, the dominant role of the demographic dynamic is rejected for the comparison, floating exchange rate countries of USA and Japan.</p>

Published: June 2018

<p><em>In the process of promoting modern hospital management system, the two basic issues repeatedly thought and constantly researched are: what kind of modern hospital management system will be established and how to establish modern hospital management system. Seen from current status, modern hospital management system is arranged by public hospital system making modern hospital and management system match socialist market economic system, meanwhile, modern hospital management mode is also the target mode Chinese public hospitals constantly reform. Three comparatively outstanding features and requirements of modern hospital management are systematic power release, effective governance and scientific management. The features can be specified, that is to say, in the aspect of organization form, modern hospital management system belongs to one special public legal person system, power release of systematism is made by this system; From the aspect of system equipment, modern hospital management system includes one series of interrelated governance mechanism to conduct effective governance; From the aspect of management behavior, modern hospital management system means scientific, refined and professional management of public hospitals to realize the feature of scientific management. </em><em></em></p>

* Upper-extremity numbness has a wide differential diagnosis and can arise from pathology in the cervical spine, brachial plexus, shoulder, elbow, and hand.* Physical examination must include evaluation of both nerve root and peripheral nerve function to aid in determining if symptoms are due to central or peripheral pathology.* Double-crush syndrome, with both spinal and peripheral etiology, is not uncommon and, if not recognized, may lead to treatment failure.* A team approach including orthopaedic surgeons, neurologists, physiatrists, radiologists, and occupational therapists can be crucial in making the diagnosis and designing the treatment plan.* Nonoperative treatment can include observation, physical and occupational therapy, functional bracing, and injections of corticosteroids and/or local anesthetics.* Operative treatment is appropriate after an appropriate course of nonoperative management has failed or with specific diagnoses in which a delay in definitive treatment may put a patient at risk for long-term functional deficits.
Collaboratively Creating a Programmatic Information Literacy Strategy: Challenges and Opportunities
Authors: Adam Tom , Burgess Colleen , McPhee Kim , Olson Leanne , Sich Christy 
Published: June 2018

In 2017, a team of librarians and archivists at Western University developed local Information Literacy Learning Outcomes (ILLOs). The resulting document outlined the skills and understanding that Western University students should demonstrate at the end of a four-year undergraduate degree—specifically, the skills relating to accessing, assessing, and applying information. This article focuses on the challenges and opportunities encountered during the collaborative process as well as the approach employed by the team in the development of these ILLOs.
Six librarians and archivists in very different roles formed the project team. Despite coming from diverse backgrounds, the team recognized that there could be many benefits to developing these outcomes: they could be used as a benchmark for students to measure their own learning, as a conversation starter and leveler with faculty and other instruction partners, and as a stepping stone to develop a full instruction program and common understanding among the librarians and archivists at Western University and Huron University College.
The ILLOs created also incorporate guidelines and ideas from various sources, including the Association of College and Research Libraries’ Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education and Information Literacy Competency Standards for Higher Education, Western University’s undergraduate Degree Outcomes, and the university’s and library system’s strategic plans.
To ensure the success of this complex venture, detailed project planning was vital. We consulted with our colleagues through multiple engagement activities: information literacy retreats, focused discussion meetings, and one-on-one consultations. The diversity of roles and experiences of our team members and colleagues added both a richness to our project and specific challenges in dealing with dissenting opinions, information overload, engagement and visioning fatigue, and collaborative writing. This article will discuss our approach to writing collaboratively and valuing diverse opinions to improve colleague and organizational buy-in. We have also included practical suggestions for implementing a similar process at the reader's own institution.

Published: June 2018

AbstractHow to accurately detect and estimate the significance level of trends in hydroclimate time series is a challenge. Building on correlation analysis, we propose an approach for evaluating and grading the significance level of trend in a series, and apply it to evaluate the changes in annual precipitation in China. The approach involved first formulating the relationship between the correlation coefficient and trend's slope. Four correlation coefficient thresholds are then determined by considering the influence of significance levels and data length, and the significance of trends is graded as five levels: no, weak, moderate, strong and dramatic. A larger correlation coefficient reflects a larger slope of trend and its higher significance level. Results of Monte-Carlo experiments indicated that the correlation coefficient-based approach not only reflects the magnitude of a trend, but also considers the influence of dispersion degree and mean value of the original series. Compared with the Mann–Kendall test used commonly, the proposed approach gave more accurate and specific gradation of the significance level of trends in annual precipitation over China. We find that the precipitation trends over China are not uniform, and the effects of global climate change on precipitation are not strong and limited to some regions.
