The Dialogical Self’s Round Table: Who Sits At It and Where?
Authors: Bokus Barbara , Bartczak Marlena , Szymańska Agnieszka , Chronowska Renata , Ważyńska Agnieszka 
Published: September 2017

Abstract
We propose a new method to measure distances between different I-positions in internal dialogue. Subjects facing and then making a major life decision via internal dialogue can indicate the places of different voices in the dialogical self’s structure. The subjects’ task is to assign a place to themselves (narrator I) and their imaginary interlocutors at a round table. The Dialogical Self's Round Table (DSRT) task, a modified form of the Semantic Distance Task (SDT; Bartczak & Bokus, 2013, 2017), was designed so that the distances between the different I-positions could be coded numerically. Presenting the method of the DSRT, we will answer the question of which voices are activated the most often in internal dialogues, and which voices can be heard the most often from different locations at the round table. We will also analyze where the subjects place the voices they consider to be the most important.

Zusammenfassung
Die Grundlagen der frühen Nutzenbewertung, die Beibehaltung eines freien Marktzuganges sowie eine nutzenbasierte Preisfindung haben sich sechs Jahre nach Einführung des AMNOG als tragfähig erwiesen. Nachdem in der Vergangenheit überwiegend technische Fragen zur Zusatznutzenbewertung und Preisbildung den politischen und wissenschaftlichen Diskurs bestimmt haben, rücken zunehmend versorgungspolitische Fragestellungen in den Mittelpunkt. Die Einführung eines Arztinformationssystems stellt nun eine bedeutende Weichenstellung für die Nutzenbewertung dar.

Abstract Arabic Romanization has been revolutionized by the impact of information technology. The driving-force in this regard is the need to make the reading of Arabic scripts through Romanization easier than what it is used to be. The needed vital instrument to achieve this venture requires the invention of transliteration and transcription of Arabic letters into non-Arabic letters which were successfully done in Romanization of Arabic-Islamic Scripts. Thus, the paper attempts to examine the Romanization of Arabic-Islamic Scripts in the twin discipline of Arabic and Islamic Studies in the occidental world. It is a case study research examining the historical evolution of transliteration and transcription of Arabic letters into non-Arabic letters in which the distinction and lack of uniformity of Romanization of Arabic-Islamic Scripts are fully explored. The paper would finally take us through the fundamental role played by the CJKI Arabic Romanization System (CARS) in the recent innovation in the Romanization of Arabic-Islamic Scripts in the twin discipline of Arabic and Islamic Studies in the western-oriented institution of learning. The purpose is to see what element of innovative development ushered in the recent Arabic-Islamic scholarship in the methods of transliteration and transcription of Arabic letters into non-Arabic letters. Abstrak Romanisasi Arab telah berevolusi karena dampak teknologi informasi. pendorong hal tersebut adalah adanya kebutuhan untuk membuat pembacaan naskah Arab melalui Romanisasi lebih mudah dari yang digunakan sebelumnya.

Produksi benih abalon Haliotis squamata skala massal di hatcheri telah berhasil dilakukan di Balai Besar Penelitian dan Pengembangan Budidaya Laut Gondol, Bali. Permasalahan utama dalam budidaya abalon adalah pertumbuhan yang lambat. Keadaan tersebut diduga karena pengaruh faktor genetik dan lingkungan. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui keragaan pertumbuhan dan variasi genetik abalon tumbuh cepat hasil seleksi individu. Hasil penelitian ini diketahui bahwa pembentukan populasi F-1 mempunyai pertumbuhan yang lebih baik dengan F-1 kontrol. Peningkatan bobot yang dicapai 22,15 g atau 17,93% lebih baik dibandingkan F-1 kontrol. Keragaman genetik F-1 terseleksi yang ditunjukkan dari nilai heterozigositas adalah (Ho. 0,023) terjadi penurunan 21,7% jika dibandingkan F-0. Hal ini dapat terjadi karena hilangnya beberapa allele dalam proses seleksi. Terdapat hubungan antara jumlah heterozigot pada lokus tertentu dengan pertumbuhan abalon. Hasil ini diharapkan dapat mendukung upaya meningkatkan produksi benih yang mempunyai performa fenotipe dan genotipe unggul sehingga dapat mendukung kegiatan budidaya abalon yang berkelanjutan.

Published: September 2017

Dengan keberhasilan produksi benih kerapu bebek, masih banyak kendalakendala yang harus diperbaiki di antaranya kualitas benih, yaitu morfologi benih kerapu bebek dari hasil produksi perbenihan masih ada yang cacat seperti insang terbuka, mulut bengkok, tulang belakang bengkok, dan sebagainya yang akan mengganggu pertumbuhan bila dibudidayakan, selain mempunyai harga yang murah dan rentan terhadap penyakit. Diduga salah satu penyebab cacat adalah tidak berkembangnya gelembung renang pada larva yang diakibatkan ketidakmampuan larva mengambil udara di permukaan air yang tertutup oleh lapisan minyak. Karena itu untuk membersihkan lapisan minyak di permukaan air perlu adanya penelitian penggunaan skimmer dengan waktu yang berbeda yaitu: saat larva berumur 6 hari; 15 hari, dan tanpa skimmer. Hasil yang diperoleh adalah penggunaan skimmer pada larva berumur 6 hari menghasilkan sintasan dan pertumbuhan lebih baik di samping mempunyai persentase perkembangan gelembung renang yang lebih tinggi dan persentase benih yang cacat lebih rendah dibanding dengan perlakuan yang lain.

Modeling Cotton Growth and Nitrogen Status Using Image Analysis
Authors: Yang Ping , Jia Biao , Zheng Zhong 
Published: September 2017

Core Ideas
The study developed an image analysis approach for extracting the color features of a cotton canopy with a digital camera.
The study verified the models using data collected from three fields of high‐yielding cotton.
Image analysis techniques have been widely used to monitor crop growth and diagnose crop N status. The main objective of this study was to develop an image analysis method for monitoring cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) growth and N status with images taken by a digital camera. The experiment was consisted of two cotton cultivars grown under five different N application rates. Ten color indices were extracted from images of the cotton canopy taken between emergence and full bloom. Results showed that nine out of ten color indices were significantly correlated with N content, leaf area index (LAI), and dry matter accumulation (DMA). Among the color indices, the green minus red index (GMRI), excess green index (EGI), green to red index (GDRI), and canopy cover (CC) had the highest correlation with the three crop properties. Models were developed to describe the relationships between the color indices (GMRI, EGI, GDRI, and CC) and the crop properties (N content, LAI, and DMA). Relationships between the color indices and the three crop properties were exponential. The models were tested in three large and representative high‐yielding cotton fields. Results showed that GMRI, EGI, GDRI, and CC are valid indicators for monitoring cotton growth and N status. Digital cameras have a good potential for monitoring cotton growth and N status.

Las selvas bajas caducifolias constituyen comunidades vegetales complejas y diversas, cuya distribución y permanencia se encuentra amenazada por las actividades humanas. La finalidad de esta investigación fue documentar el uso tradicional que tiene la flora leñosa y arborescente de la selva caducifolia de la Sierra de Nanchititla y, con ello, identificar especies potenciales para la recuperación, permanencia o aprovechamiento sustentable de las selvas caducifolias regionales. Se realizaron exploraciones etnobotánicas con la aplicación de entrevistas abiertas a informantes clave de poblados cercanos o incluidos en la Reserva Natural Sierra Nanchititla. Se registraron 137 especies útiles; nueve familias botánicas concentraron 58% de la flora; la familia con el mayor número de géneros y especies fue Fabaceae. Ochenta y cinco por ciento de las especies son nativas; el componente endémico exhibió el mayor número de especies (30%), seguido del grupo de especies mesoamericanas (26%) y neotropicales (21%). Se registraron nueve categorías de uso de la flora, los más frecuentes fueron el medicinal, para la construcción y la obtención de leña. De la flora, 32.8% (45 especies) se encontró útil para tres o más propósitos, y Enterolobium cyclocarpum mostró el mayor número de usos (seis). Treinta y cuatro especies fueron citadas con uso alimenticio principalmente por los frutos que producen. Dieciséis especies se identifican con alto potencial para la restauración ecológica y la reforestación, dado que son especies nativas multipropósito e importantes prestadoras de servicios ambientales; su uso en programas de restauración podría satisfacer algunas demandas locales, mantener la cubierta arbórea y la diversidad local.

Production scheduling is an important activity in manufacturing. Optimal scheduling affects the time of completion of the work. PT. Interpack is a company that produces packaging machines. The job schedule of the product spare part still uses the random priority rules. Use of random rules makes a lot of time delay. Delay causes operator and machine idle. Delay also causes the total time of completion of the work (makespan) and delay the greater. So it needs to be rescheduled to work on the spare part of product. Job scheduling using the Artificial Immune System (AIS) algorithm. AIS was developed by Farmer et al. The AIS algorithm refers to the human immune system. The stages of the AIS algorithm begin with random initialization, antibody representation and gene classification, clone breeding, selection of donor antibodies, germ-line construction, gene fragment redesign, and ending with diversification of antibodies. AIS algorithm scheduling resulted in a more optimal new schedule. AIS algorithm scheduling generates a future of 6483.91 minutes. Company scheduling generates makespan of 7059.99 minutes. AIS Schedule finishes algorithm 4 days of the due date. AIS algorithm schedule increase machine utility by 1%.
Merchandise Hardware: A Case Designed to Teach Students Generalized Audit Software Using Microsoft Access
Authors: Lambert S. Lane 
Published: September 2017

ABSTRACT
This paper provides an educational case wherein students learn how Microsoft Access (“Access”) can be used as Generalized Audit Software (“GAS”). Students export data from an Access database provided in the case that simulates a portion of the Expenditure Cycle in the Accounting Information System (“AIS”) used by the case company. Students then import the downloaded data into another Access database where Queries and a Module are used as GAS to analyze and audit the data. In the case, students assume the roles of accounts payable manager, general ledger accountant, procurement manager and internal/external auditor, thereby learning that not only auditors but also accountants and managers can use GAS. Once the students have created and executed the Access GAS procedures illustrated in the case, they are given an assignment that includes modifying a case GAS procedure, documenting GAS procedures, and recommending and implementing improvements in the case AIS based on GAS results. The case is designed to teach students general concepts for planning and performing GAS procedures and software skills in using Access as GAS. This paper is the first educational case that illustrates how Access Modules can be used as GAS.

ABSTRACT
This case presents a situation in a purchasing department where potential control weaknesses need to be identified and tested. This short case is ideal for AIS or auditing classes. The students are required to perform a risk assessment, identify control objectives, design tests that would be covered in an audit and perform analysis on client-provided data. This case uses the IDEA data analytic software, but could be adjusted for use with ACL or other data analytic software. The case has been used in AIS and auditing classes and the feedback from students as to their enjoyment and learning from the case is overwhelmingly positive.
Manual vs. Computerized Practice Set: Which Achieves Learning Objectives the Best?
Authors: Fanning Kurt , Grant Rita 
Published: September 2017

ABSTRACT
A major issue for accounting departments is how to adopt a user's approach to teaching the Principles level courses and still have the accounting majors adequately prepared for upper level courses. One approach is to employ a practice set within the curriculum. However, the use of a manual practice set presents several problems. The use of a computerized practice set may solve many of these issues. This paper examines this issue by testing the student's retention of information about accounting processes and procedures. The test results indicate similar outcomes from using a computerized practice set where students manually post the transactions to those students using a manual practice set. Thus, students can gain the necessary knowledge while using a computerized practice set when they post transactions. However, the test results indicate students have inferior results when using a computerized practice set that automatically posts the transactions. This suggests that student involvement in the transaction is important.
Given the computerized practice set's advantages in decreasing the time and energy expended by the accounting faculty grading practice sets and the faculty's ability to help the students remotely, a strong argument can be made for using the computerized practice set when students post the transactions. Thus, accounting departments can be more confident, in certain circumstances, to choose to use computerized practice sets.

Published: September 2017

ABSTRACT
In this case, students assume the role of an accounting professional asked by a client to investigate why net income is not as strong as expected. The students must first analyze a set of financial statements to identify areas of possible concern. After determining the areas to investigate, the students use a database query tool to see if they can determine causes by examining transaction level data. Finally, the students are asked to professionally communicate their findings and recommendations to their client. The case provides students with experience in using query-based approaches to answering business questions. It is appropriate for students with basic query and financial analysis skills and knowledge of internal controls. A Microsoft Access database with transaction details for the final seven months of the current year as well as financial statements for the current and prior year are provided.

Published: September 2017

PURPOSE:
To retrospectively evaluate the current practice, trends, and outcomes of refractive surgery in Japan.

METHODS:
This multicenter survey comprised 78,248 eyes of 39,727 consecutive patients who underwent refractive surgery at 45 major institutions in Japan. The corresponding ophthalmologists responded to a selfadministered questionnaire. The authors especially evaluated the safety, efficacy, predictability, stability, and adverse events of LASIK and phakic intraocular lens (IOL) implantation 3 months postoperatively.

RESULTS:
The most common refractive surgery was LASIK (90.9%), followed by corneal inlay (5.0%), posterior chamber phakic IOL implantation (1.3%), laser-assisted subepithelial keratomileusis (1.0%), refractive lens exchange (0.9%), photorefractive keratectomy (0.3%), and refractive lenticule extraction (0.2%). For subgroup analysis, 69,987 eyes (99.5%) and 67,512 eyes (95.9%) achieved corrected and uncorrected distance visual acuity of 20/20 or better, respectively, after LASIK, and 935 eyes (98.8%) and 890 eyes (94.1%), respectively, after phakic IOL implantation. There were 69,176 eyes (98.3%) and 908 eyes (96.0%) within ±1.00 diopter (D) of the attempted correction after LASIK and phakic IOL implantation, respectively. There were 1,926 eyes (2.7%) and 1 eye (0.1%) with changes in refraction of 1.00 D or less from 1 week to 3 months after LASIK and phakic IOL implantation, respectively. No vision-threatening complications occurred in any case.

CONCLUSIONS:
According to this survey, LASIK remains the most prevalent surgical technique in Japan. Both LASIK and phakic IOL implantation offered good safety and efficacy outcomes, yielding predictable and stable results.

Boundary Quotient -algebras of Products of Odometers
Authors: Li Hui , Yang Dilian 
Published: September 2017

AbstractIn this paper, we study the boundary quotient$\text{C}^{\ast }$-algebras associated with products of odometers. One of our main results shows that the boundary quotient$\text{C}^{\ast }$-algebra of the standard product of$k$odometers over$n_{i}$-letter alphabets$(1\leqslant i\leqslant k)$is always nuclear, and that it is a UCT Kirchberg algebra if and only if$\{\ln n_{i}:1\leqslant i\leqslant k\}$is rationally independent, if and only if the associated single-vertex$k$-graph$\text{C}^{\ast }$-algebra is simple. To achieve this, one of our main steps is to construct a topological$k$-graph such that its associated Cuntz–Pimsner$\text{C}^{\ast }$-algebra is isomorphic to the boundary quotient$\text{C}^{\ast }$-algebra. Some relations between the boundary quotient$\text{C}^{\ast }$-algebra and the$\text{C}^{\ast }$-algebra$\text{Q}_{\mathbb{N}}$introduced by Cuntz are also investigated.
Statistical study of auroral omega bands
Authors: Partamies Noora , Weygand James M. , Juusola Liisa 
Published: September 2017

Abstract. The presence of very few statistical studies on auroral omega bands motivated us to test-use a semi-automatic method for identifying large-scale undulations of the diffuse aurora boundary and to investigate their occurrence. Five identical all-sky cameras with overlapping fields of view provided data for 438 auroral omega-like structures over Fennoscandian Lapland from 1996 to 2007. The results from this set of omega band events agree remarkably well with previous observations of omega band occurrence in magnetic local time (MLT), lifetime, location between the region 1 and 2 field-aligned currents, as well as current density estimates. The average peak emission height of omega forms corresponds to the estimated precipitation energies of a few keV, which experienced no significant change during the events. Analysis of both local and global magnetic indices demonstrates that omega bands are observed during substorm expansion and recovery phases that are more intense than average substorm expansion and recovery phases in the same region. The omega occurrence with respect to the substorm expansion and recovery phases is in a very good agreement with an earlier observed distribution of fast earthward flows in the plasma sheet during expansion and recovery phases. These findings support the theory that omegas are produced by fast earthward flows and auroral streamers, despite the rarity of good conjugate observations.
